Air New Zealand has done it again. The airline has released a new, quirky inflight safety video, this time starring British adventurer and Man v Wild star Bear Grylls.
The hard-man survival expert is grabbing the attention of passengers as the face of the four-and-a-half minute clip filmed in a remote part of the Routeburn Track near Fiordland in the South Island.
Grylls mixes it up with some of New Zealand's most well known native fauna including a kea, a tuatara, native glow worms and boy scouts, and even bolts off to tackle the extinct moa. Throughout he keeps up his familiar patter of survival tips, wise advice and messages from the airline.
The video follows a $NZ1 million partnership between New Zealand's Department of Conservation and Air New Zealand to restore natural habitats and birdlife along the Stewart Island/Rakiura, Milford, Routeburn and Waikaremoana Round tracks.
Air New Zealand has developed a reputation for unusual safety videos, with previous versions featuring flight attendants wearing nothing but body paint, fitness guru Richard Simmons taking passengers through an exercise routine, and another featuring the All Blacks rugby team.
Safety videos have been, or are, so boring and people pay little attention to them at all.
The most successful safety video so far has been the airline's Hobbit-themed clip, which has clocked up more than 10 million views on YouTube.
It is a technique that has been emulated by other airlines, with Qantas using Olympic and Paralympic athletes in its video during the London Olympic Games, and Turkish Airlines using football players from Manchester United.
Bangkok Airways has been using a video featuring flight attendants singing and dancing on the tarmac, while Philippine airline Cebu has had attendants dancing while they show how to put on lifejackets.
Speaking about the Hobbit video, Air New Zealand's head of international marketing, Jodi Williams, said that publicity was not the only benefit of the imaginative videos.
She told Fairfax Media that airlines always struggle to motivate passengers, particularly frequent travellers, to watch safety demonstrations and the fun videos have made a huge difference.
"Safety videos have been, or are, so boring and people pay little attention to them at all," Williams says. "Our videos are a way of getting the customers to engage and actually watch."

If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am. Cyril Cusack
Sick or not I survived the gig last night. It was a great time and we had a full house all night long. My voice held up all night, which was a blessing and I was real worried. It was a very nice acoustic gig and is a nice change up from the whole 5 piece band. I hope the New Year finds everyone happy and healthy. We are set to play at the New Frontier Club tomorrow night and it should be fun! Here a re a few random pics from the gig at the Brewery.

|Condition or disease
|Traumatic Brain Injury
|Drug: Epoetin Alfa Drug: Sodium Chloride 0.9%
|Phase 3
Many people who have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) - usually from a blow to the head such as in a vehicle collision or in a fall do not survive or, if they do, suffer from long-term disability. Previous studies have shown that about 1,000 people in Australia and New Zealand suffer a moderate or severe TBI every year. With current best available treatment and therapies many of these patients sustain loss of brain function and long term disability in varying degrees.
When a patient sustains a traumatic brain injury there are two phases to the injury. First, the head-impact causes immediate damage to the brain. The secondary injury, which can evolve over hours or weeks, is a very complicated process. It involves many, linked, changes to the cells, brain chemistry, tissues or blood vessels that can destroy brain tissue. The treatment of brain injury focuses on trying to minimize the secondary injury and there is much research being done to try to find treatments that will prevent it.
Erythropoietin (EPO) has recently emerged as a drug that may help reduce secondary injury and improve brain function. It has been found to offer some protection to the brain when brain cells are deprived of their normal oxygen supply causing cells to die or be impaired.
The aim of this study is to determine if EPO reduces secondary brain injury and helps patients make a better recovery after traumatic brain injury. The investigators also plan to monitor the effect of EPO on the rate of deep vein thrombosis (DVT - blood clots in the large veins in lower extremity) in patients with moderate or severe TBI in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Study Hypothesis:
In patients with moderate (GCS 9-12) or severe (3-8) TBI, EPO therapy improves long-term neurological function assessed 6 months after injury.

- "And high and noble as was Elemmakil, greater and more lordly was Ecthelion, Lord of the Fountains, at that time Warden of the Great Gate. All in silver was he clad, and upon his shining helm there was set a spike of steel pointed with a diamond; and as his esquire took his shield it shimmered as if it were bedewed with drops of rain, that were indeed a thousand studs of crystal."
- ― Unfinished Tales, Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin
Ecthelion was an Elf-lord of Gondolin, leader of the People of the Fountain and slayer of Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs. He was also at one point Warden of the Great Gate of Gondolin. Ecthelion had the most beautiful voice and greatest musical talent with the flute of all the people of Gondolin. He led a wing of Gondolin's forces during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, "The Battle of Unnumbered Tears".
[edit] History
[edit] Aredhel's Escort
Two hundred years after Gondolin was wrought, Ecthelion, Glorfindel, and Egalmoth, along with the White Lady of the Ñoldor left the Hidden City due to Aredhel's yearning for the freedom she once had in Valinor. Their orders were to lead her towards Hithlum, where she would meet her elder brother Fingon. When coming upon the Ford of Brithiach, Aredhel ordered them to turn South, for she desired to see the Sons of Fëanor. Thus Ecthelion and his companions sought admittance to Doriath, but the wardens refused them entrance inside the Girdle of Melian. Having no other choice, they took the dangerous road between the haunted valleys of Ered Gorgoroth. Near Nan Dungortheb, the Valley of Dreadful Death, the riders were caught in a mesh of shadows and they were lost from Aredhel. In vain they sought her afterwards, but the fell offsprings of Ungoliant that dwelt in that place pursued them. Barely escaping alive, the three lords returned to Gondolin without the princess, where they were received in sorrow.
[edit] Lord of Gondolin
In the year F.A. 472 Ecthelion fought alongside Turgon in the battle Nirnaeth Arnoediad, leading a wing of Gondolin's forces. Upon the defeat of the Ñoldor, he defended a flank as Turgon retreated. Surviving the disastrous battle, Ecthelion returned towards the Hidden City where he next appeared as Warden of the Great Gate in the unfinished tale Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin.
Twenty-three years after Nirnaeth Arnoediad, Tuor and Voronwë traveled towards the Hidden City. After being led by Elemmakil through the Seven Gates, Ecthelion appeared before them. In a short description he is portrayed as great and lordly, all clad in silver and having a bright glance. Upon his helm there was a spike with a diamond point which shimmered as "a thousand studs of crystal". At first denying passage for Tuor, he allows it after the later makes a reference towards Ulmo, by saying that the Lord of the Fountains will not oppose the Lord of the Waters.
The House of the Fountain was one of the Twelve Houses of the Gondolindrim whose leader was Ecthelion. Its people found delight in diamonds and the silver of their arrays was most beautiful to the sight. In the Fall of Gondolin, Ecthelion led them into battle accompanied by the music of their flutes and great were the damages caused to the enemy by their long, bright swords.
[edit] Warcry to the Eldar
In the battle over Gondolin, Ecthelion and his forces made their entrance from the South part of the city, after previously being held in reserve. So terrible was his voice when commanding the drawing of the swords and the killings which followed, that his name became a terror among the enemy and a Warcry to the Eldar. Valiantly fighting side by side with Tuor and his House of the Wing, they drove away the orcs until almost the Gate was regained. It's said that Ecthelion and his House of the Fountain slew more orcs than had ever been slain, in all the battles of elves and orcs combined. As Dragons reinforced Morgoth's army, Ecthelion killed three Balrogs and his sword did "hurt to their fire". Outnumbered, they had to retreat. When doing so, Ecthelion's left arm was wounded and his shield fell to earth. Tuor carried him away as they joined the remaining leaders in the Square of the King.
In that place the great Fountain of the King stood and Ecthelion regained his strength by drinking from it. As seven dragons lead the enemy's forces towards the Square, the remaining army of Gondolin began retreat. All but Ecthelion, who remained near the fountain in a stand which was remembered as the most valiant "in all the songs or in any tale". It was there that he faced Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs.
[edit] Slayer of Gothmog
Ecthelion duelled Gothmog in the battle over Gondolin. During the duel, Ecthelion lost his sword. Gothmog then was about to deliver the final blow when Ecthelion jumped and drove the spike of his helmet into Gothmog's body. Gothmog then lost his balance and he, along with Ecthelion, fell into the Fountain of the King. Gothmog and Ecthelion both drowned.
Later, a young Eärendil asked about him, saying that he wished Ecthelion were there, "to play to me on his flute, or make me willow whistles! Perchance has he gone on ahead?" After he was informed of Ecthelion's death he "wept bitterly" and said that he cared no more to see the streets of Gondolin.
[edit] Other Versions of the Legendarium
Perhaps the earliest J.R.R. Tolkien writing, The Fall of Gondolin was written during a leave of absence from the World War I, in the year 1916. It is in that story, published posthumously by Christopher Tolkien in the volume The Book of Lost Tales Part Two that Ecthelion first appears. Thus he is one of the first characters Tolkien ever created.
However, from a chronological point of view, the first account of his presence is the chapter Of Maeglin from The Silmarillion. The events described here took place more than one hundred and fifty years before those of Gondolin's fall. Along with Glorfindel and Egalmoth, he was assigned by Turgon as Aredhel's escort on her ill-fated journey. Though no name is mentioned, only that "Turgon appointed three lords of his household", an explanatory note in the volume The War of the Jewels, chapter called Maeglin, sheds light on the escorts' identities.
[edit] Etymology
There are three different sources that offer a translation of Ecthelion and they all differ substantially. In The Book of Lost Tales Part 2, Appendix, it is said that the name derives from the Quenya ehtelë, "issue of water, spring", a reference to his title as Lord for the House of the Fountain. In The Etymologies, volume The Lost Road and Other Writings, his name is composed from ehtë, "spear" and thela, "point" (of spear). Put together they would translate as "Spear-point" or "Spear-head". In The War of the Jewels, which seems to be the last matter J.R.R. Tolkien wrote on it, it is derived from aeg, "sharp", and thel, "intent, resolve" (see also root STEL).[1]

Let them fight
Gareth Edwards' Godzilla is a good movie, and if you think otherwise, you are entitled to be wrong. It's a good movie, and it gave us the instantly iconic line, "Let them fight." The rebooted monster universe—Kong: Skull Island is part of this franchise—immediately established its penchant for absolutely insane logic as characters take one look at a giant f*ck-off radiation monster and go, Yeah the planet is theirs and we are but ants.

The Hollywood Reporter: Important Actresses – Television
So the pendulum swings all the way to the other side. These Hollywood Reporter articles where we're in conversation with actresses are so enlightening. Officially there must be men's ones too, but you'll notice they never get tweeted all over like the women's ones do. So this year's Unofficially Emmy Nominees Probably With Few Repeats From Last Year are Julianna Margulies, Vera Farmiga, Sarah Paulson, Claire Danes, Keri Russell, and Jessica Pare. Full Story

Check out Vera Farmiga arriving in Vancouver to begin production on the second season of Bates Motel. Her new film The Conjuring opens this weekend. It's currently sitting at 90% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. I was at The Conjuring junket for etalk a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco. Full Story
Vera the director
Love Vera Farmiga. Sometimes she dresses like a crazy person though. Remember this? Vera did much better on the cover of the new issue of NUVO Magazine. Beautiful. My favourite story about Vera is how honest she is about Up In The Air, specifically that she'd just had a baby before starting work on it and the studio called over - God studio executives are assholes - and wanted her to lose more weight.

MET Powder Bluebell Sh-t: Vera Farmiga
Her dress at the Oscars was rather unpopular. And now this at the Costume Institute Gala. So ... is it official? To declare that Vera Farmiga has bad taste? Because... Like... Even if you don't mind the colour (to me it's offensive), and even if you can forgive those bo peep bonnet sleeves (they're embarrassing), and even if you can overlook those tacky aunt curtains hanging off the bottom (come into my saloon!), how can you possibly justify that limp ass ribbon dangling between her breasts? It doesn't look properly tied. Full Story
Ladies at the luncheon
Today was the annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon. Notably absent: George Clooney. It's a non-campaign year for Clooney. Looks like he's conceding early to Jeff Bridges. But enough of the boys.

Yeah I know it's coming a wee bit late -- but still -- A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my blog readers !!! :) I can't believe this is my sixth year into blogging and though not as frequent as before, I itch to blog after every few other weeks. So no matter how busy I am, I always look forward to adding another page into my personal online diary. Why? Just so that I can run through the pages several years from now and fondly reminisce about everything wonderful and not-so-wonderful that happened to me over the years. Something priceless -- you've to agree.
2011 didn't start on a great note for R and I -- coz we both got sick and bedridden for a week or so. And then there were some things which we expected, but didn't quite work out the way we wanted. On a good note, my e-marketing payment is at a whole-time high this month. Last month around, I sold off $1000 worth of Amazon products. Coolness no? I'm sure it has something to do with the holiday season -- but the bout of success is something I'm enjoying thoroughly at the moment. Apart from that, I felt for the first time in my life - a minor earthquake. It was so minor, I'm sure hardly anyone would have noticed it. But it was an 'earthquake' after all. I mistook the tremor for a 'strong wind' when the windows trembled for a few seconds. Some others were complaining about how 2011 has been crappy so far for them. How's it going for you?
Anyway , this month has me celebrating one year of something very special (and thankfully, something not-crappy :D). I and R met on this very month last year. Haven't you read 'How I Met The Nair Boy' yet? How time flies! The difference being now I am more comfortable with him than I ever used to be. I mean, I can just walk around in my pyjamas wearing my spectacles, without combing my hair looking like crap -- and there he is, always ready to give me a quick hug and a kiss. Last year, he never got to see me looking like a witch. Nowadays he does. Aaah! The freedom of being married :D
I do not mean that the 1 year of us knowing each other has been all mushy mushy. Far from it actually! There had been loads of incidents when we literally wanted to shoot each other down if possible. The problem is we both are kids at heart who whine and cry if we don't get what we are seeking. But hopefully we'll both mature out of that one day! :)
Oh btw, the heart-shaped dosa is what I prepared few days back for him. Not bad for a first attempt no? :D


text: A team of US and UK scientists have invented a portable scanner that may be useful in the hunt for life on Mars. And it sounds a whole lot like a Star Trek tricorder: it uses a beam of ultraviolet laser light and detects fluorescence from organic molecules, so it works remotely and doesn't damage samples. Under simulated-Mars conditions, they've used it to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (found on comets, thought to be building-blocks of life) in masses as small as 1.5 micrograms. Plus they think the tech could be adapted to be rugged and fitted onto a future Mars rover. Just wait for the handheld version, and for an astronaut to start going "widdlywee..." as they stomp around Mars. [Eurekalert via IO9]

I have some documentation in an html table. I want to convert the table to an ascii table, like you see when you get a mysql command line result back, like this:
| header | header |
| cell data | cell data |
| cell data | cell data |
... so I can include it in some code comments.
How could I do this easily? I was thinking piping the output of lynx into a file, but lynx doesn't put ascii borders around tables :P
I also want to control cell width, so that the content cells don't spill outside the accepted screen width of the code.

The Israeli Air Force continued to pound the Gaza Strip for the third consecutive night last night, killing at least 30 Palestinians, according to local media. The running total of civilian fatalities over the last two days stands at 81.
Israeli rockets have plowed across the entire Strip, according to a local source, including the densly populated areas of Gaza City, Khan Younis, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia.
Israeli forces struck Waqt al-Marah coffee shop in Khan Younis, where locals were gathered to watch the World Cup, killing nine and injurring at least fifteen others.
Forces struck two family homes in Beit Lahia, killing nine and eight family members, respectively, according to a local source.
The Israeli military has admitted at least one of the strikes was made in error, after family members returned too soon to the house after being warned of the imminent strike.
"Operation Protective Edge," the largest Israeli military offensive against the Gaza Strip since 2012, entered its third day today. The possibility of a ground invasion still looms, as 40,000 reservists and armored tanks have been mobilized to the Gaza border.
Israeli forces have struck more than 644 targets and demolished more than 65 homes since the operation started.
Palestinian militant groups have responded with more than 340 rockets, reaching as far as Zichron Yaacov, close to Haifa. No Israeli civilian casualties have been reported.
United Nations Secretary Ban Ki Moon has called for restraint from both sides, saying "Calm must be restored as soon as possible. The lives of countless innocent civilians and the peace process itself are in the balance." Mr. Ban also noted fears that the situation could deteriorate into a "full-blown war" that the region cannot handle.
Egyptian President Fatah Abdul al-Sisi has responded positively to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' appeal for help mediating a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel, as was done by Egypt in 2012.
Sisi's administration has been far colder to Hamas than that of his predecessor, Muslim Brotherhood member Muhammed Mursi. One of Sisi's first moves in office was the destruction of Hamas-operated tunnels at Rafa, a border town between the Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. The tunnels are a crucial source of funding for Hamas, which is in dire financial straights. Egypt re-opened the Rafa crossing today to allow injured Palestinians out. What leverage Sisi might have with Hamas and what, if any negotiations are being carried out, remains unclear.
Israeli President Shimon Peres told CNN Operation Protective Edge could grow into a ground invasion in Gaza "quite soon," if Hamas does not stop firing rockets.
A senior Hamas official told the Times of Israel this afternoon Hamas would be willing to stop firing rockets if Israel releases 56 members arrested in the crackdown on the occupied West Bank following the apparent kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens. The prisoners in question had been released in the Shalit deal in 2011, during which Israel traded Hamas over 1,000 prisoners in exchange for the release of captured soldier Gilad Shalit.

Final Cast Announced for THE CHRISTMAS ROSE at Carnegie Hall
The new family musical special, The Christmas Rose, features a cast of over 400 and stars the multiple Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actress Jane Seymour and legendary Broadway actor and Tony nominee Lee Roy Reams. The Christmas Rose, with music and story by PBS composer Tim Janis, follows a young orphan named Annabelle, played by thirteen year old Bailey Grey, into the desert where she crosses paths with everyone from the three wise men and singing angels to Mary and Joseph, while being pursued by a team of desert bandits. The Christmas Rose is created in association with the Ogunquit Playhouse and is on stage at Carnegie Hall one night only Thursday, November 29 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available by calling (212) 247-7800 or online at www.carnegiehall.org. In honor of Thanksgiving, a special holiday offer of 30% off all tickets is available starting Friday, November 23 at 11a.m. and ending Monday November 27 at 11:59p.m. by using code GIV15704.
The musical spectacular is under the Direction of Bradford Kenney, Executive Artistic Director of the Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine. Mr. Kenney is collaborating with legendary producer, actor and director James Keach on this new holiday special. This whimsical and heartwarming tale will be conducted by Benjamin Vickers, Conductor of Boston Philharmonic. Included in the cast are many Broadway and National Touring performers, along with the American Boychoir, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre dancers, Broadway Dance Center's Children and Teen Program, the Nutmeg Ballet and the Princeton Ballet School. "It's kind of a different genre," Kenney said, "A mix of symphony, large choir, traditional dancing and choreography within a comedic musical fairytale."
Jane Seymour stars as the Storyteller in this heartwarming and whimsical musical. She was last seen on Broadway in Amadeus. Ms. Seymour won Golden Globe Awards for her work on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "East of Eden," and received an Emmy Award for "Onassis: The Richest Man in the World." Jane Seymour has proven her talents in virtually all media, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Seymour's past films include the James Bond movie Live and Let Die, the cult classic Somewhere in Time and the comedy smash Wedding Crashers.
Lee Roy Reams, called "Broadway's darling" by columnist Liz Smith, will take the stage as Kahmir, the villainous leader of desert bandits. Mr. Reams won critical acclaim as Roger DeBris on Broadway and the First National Company of Mel Brooks' musical hit, The Producers. His many leading Broadway roles include: Billy Lawlor in David Merrick's legendary 42nd Street (Tony and Drama Desk nominations), Cornelius Hackl in Hello Dolly! and Henry Spofford in Lorelei (both starring Carol Channing), Duane Fox in Applause starring Lauren Bacall, Will Parker in Richard Rodgers' Lincoln Center revival of Oklahoma! And Bob Fosse's Sweet Charity starring Gwen Verdon.
Bailey Grey returns to Carnegie Hall to play Annebelle for The Christmas Rose. Bailey recently sang in the Stern Auditorium with the Manhattan Girls Chorus in the New York Premier of Noam Sheriff's Mechaye Hametim under the baton of Zubin Mehta. She played Adriana Clayton in Stephen Schwartz's Seance on a Wet Afternoon with New York City Opera at Lincoln Center and was in the First Broadway National Tour of Mary Poppins as Jane Banks. Her film credits include Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and the narrative short, Everything is Ordinary.
The Christmas Rose music is written by Tim Janis with story by Tim Janis and Elizabeth Demmer. Mr. Janis has ten Billboard charting CDs, with more than one million albums sold and four national public television specials. He's worked with some of the top artists in the music and entertainment business including Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Ray Charles, George Clooney and James Earl Jones. He has also conducted the Czech National Symphony, the Kwazulu Natal Philharmonic and the Hartford Symphony Orchestra.
The evening's proceeds benefit Jane Seymour's Open Hearts Foundation, which encourages people to live with an open heart in the face of adversity. The Foundation provides funds to charitable organizations in the areas of Health, Arts, Education, Sports and honors individuals that exemplify the Open Heart Philosophy in their service to others. Tickets are on sale now at the Carnegie Hall box office. Call 212-247-7800 or visit carnegiehall.org. Carnegie Hall is located at 57th Street and Seventh Avenue. A special offer for Thanksgiving of 30% off tickets is available starting Friday, November 23 at 11AM and ending Monday November 27 at 11:59PM by using code GIV15704.

New White House Council Targets Rural Communities
I'm not sure how much evidence Americans need to realize the guy in the White House is a serious Communist, but the creation of Obama's new Rural Council is about the most any hopey-changey person would want.
The executive order that created the Council, signed in June and attracting scant attention, states that, "To enhance the Federal Government's efforts to address the needs of rural America, this order establishes a council to better coordinate Federal programs and maximize the impact of Federal investment to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in our rural communities."
Gee, doesn't that sound nice? In case no one is noticing, the Federal government has no Constitutional authority to do anything with rural communities. Rural communities are within the purview of the states, not the Federal government.
"Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties," the executive order informs, adding that, "Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation."
Well, isn't that news to us all? That our rural areas are agrarian and supply natural resources to the rest of us? I guess Obama thought we didn't notice that, so he ought to take charge of those areas. You know he can do what no one else can; such as make the oceans recede and lower the temperatures of the planet, and create jobs, too!! What a guy!
According the executive order, the Rural Council's "mission and function" is to "work across executive departments, agencies, and offices to coordinate development of policy recommendations to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America, and shall coordinate my Administration's engagement with rural communities."
So why exactly do we all of a sudden need 25 federal agencies, including the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and Commerce, Education, and Justice, to oversee America's heartland? And what is the federal government's "important role to play" in keeping check on what farmers and rural communities do?
Executive orders are becoming more and more intrusive, brash, and prevalent. I wonder when these executive orders get rescinded? Does it ever happen? I've seen those cute photo ops with all of the former Presidents standing side-by-side and smiling, best of buddies. Maybe there is some unwritten rule that Presidents just don't undo what the previous Presidents did out of some sort of hat tip to the guy who went before them.
Whatever the reason, the "ticking time bombs" these guys put into place never seem to go away. So whoever gets the White House the next time is the lucky inheritor of the White House Rural Council, just as Bush and Obama inherited the President's Council on Sustainable Development, and so on without end. The executive branch of czars and unelected bureaucratic monsters just keep multiplying over time. Trust me; we are already covered up with them. Swamped. Suffocated. Saturated.
When it comes to Bill Clinton's President's Council on Sustainable Development and this new one, the White House Rural Council, the limits have been broken. Both of these are anti-property rights programs. Land use, natural resources, water, even "views" are now under siege by the White House.
We know Obama knows this is an un-Constitutional over-reach, a slap in the face of all Americans. But he doesn't care. Why would a Communist care about such things? His goal is to turn all of America into an outdated Soviet-style system put together by collectivist ideology. That's his idea of "progress?"
This has happened before in the last century. And it didn't turn out too well, actually. Lenin set the collectivization of rural Ukraine in motion before Stalin took it and ran with it. Between the two of them, the Ukraine suffered beyond description. It is the other Holocaust you don't hear about. And now we have a parade of American Presidents putting the same collectivism in place here in the U.S., one building on the last one's authoritarian creep against our freedom.
I've written previously about the Ukrainian Holodomor. Here is the history lesson of the day: Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, set in motion events designed to cause a famine in the Ukraine to destroy the people there seeking independence from his rule. As a result, an estimated 7,000,000 persons perished in this rural farming area, known as the breadbasket of Europe, with the people deprived of the food they had grown with their own hands.
Stalin also imposed the Soviet system of land management known as collectivization. This resulted in the seizure of all privately owned farmlands and livestock, in a country where 80 percent of the people were traditional village farmers.
Evidently Obama has learned his lessons well from his Communist parents. The liberation of Libya from Ghadaffi is his current fascination, while here at home he intends to enslave our entire population. He is working successfully on the price rationing of energy and energy starvation here and now. How long before he, and the inheriting Presidents coming after him, implement rationing of food, fibers, natural resources, and all else in America? Smart Meters, anyone?
What a bad joke this and these past Presidents are. I'm not laughing. The Ukrainian dead are not laughing. The Ukrainian dead are telling us their story for good reason.
We have to find a Presidential candidate for 2012 and candidates forever beyond who are bound to the U.S. Constitution and the sovereignty of our nation … AND who believe in states rights through the 10th amendment. The Federal government was never meant to be this powerful and the United Nations does not have jurisdiction over our nation.

I've taken enough time from my project today to get the 26th edition of the Georgia Carnival up and running for viewing pleasure. This edition marks the one year anniversary for one of the few state-focused carnivals in the blogosphere. You can find it over at Georgia on My Mind. You'll find lots of views regarding the results of the Iowa caucus, a primary calendar, and a great post on making resolutions among many other great submissions. Do you know what a Brasstown Baldbuster is? Well, head on over to Georgia's carnival and find out!
During the week between Christmas and New Year's there was quite a discussion going on regarding my post about the painting of Washington's prayer at Valley Forge. One of the participants in the discussion, Hercules Mulligan, decided his most recent thoughts on the matter were too long to post as a comment so he was inspired to create his own posting. You can read it here. Let the discussion continue….
Those darn educators (I'm one of them) are at it again with a recipe swap. You can find them over at Meeyauw's spot at the Teacher Pot Luck Carnival
Polski3 wants to know what's on your bulletin boards.
Finally, Miss Profe is wondering about student motivation. The education guru who solves this problem will make millions, won't they? I found Miss Profe's take on the matter interesting and the example she used was Frederick Douglass. So what creates intrinsic motivation? Miss Profe wants to know is it your circumstances or are you already wired for it at birth? For some reason I couldn't post a comment there but what I would have said involved Mr. Douglass. I'm not sure it was just his circumstances that prompted him to be so driven though he did have some horrific circumstances to overcome. The reason why I question the circumstance reason is there were plenty of others who came out of slavery who did not make their mark on the world in any particular way. I think when we finally hit on a perfect formula we will discover there is no perfect formula but a very mixed basis for intrinsic motivation that involves parenting, culture, environment, and even DNA. I think Miss Profe brings up a very valid question…..head on over and enter the discussion.

Laptops work well up to about 4000 metres/13,000 feet. Altitude can destroy or wipe hard drives bigger than 7 - 10 GB above this altitude, or hard drives that have a moving disk. There are several options out on the market for non moving hard drives that work well in altitude. Panasonic make a special laptop called a "Toughbook"; it is expensive, but I once chipped one out of the ice in a tent at 7500 metres and it still worked.
Note: Some early ipod and mp3 players have this problem as well. Check to make sure your ipod does not have a moving drive, especially before you turn it on above 4000 metres. We have had several instances where these were wiped or crashed.

Liberty News
Campus swarms with campers this summer
One would expect a college campus to be vacant during summer break, but that's not the case at Liberty University. Several camps and conferences for young people are keeping Liberty a hub of activity in Central Virginia.
|High school students worship in the Supreme Courtroom at Liberty University School of Law for the Summit Ministries' conference, June 21-July 3. The conference challenges students to examine their worldviews, evaluate those views as they pertain to the current post-Christian culture, and encourage them to respond. Students engaged with national experts delving into significant issues, such as post modernism, politics, Christianity in culture, the reliability of Scripture, creation vs. evolution, and others.
More than 30 different camps and conferences are being held on the Liberty University campus during a six-week period this summer, from sports camps such as volleyball and soccer, to academic, including debate and Virginia's Boys State program, as well as ministry and youth camps.
Ernest Carter, Liberty's director of event management, said Liberty is an attractive option for these programs.
"Liberty's a great place because of the great facilities we have here. They really appeal to a diverse group of people, from the LaHaye Student Union to the LaHaye Ice Center to the other top-notch facilities, like worship areas, and all the technology that's in all these areas," he said. "It sets us apart from other colleges and universities because of all the variety of things we have to offer here at Liberty."
The university offers everything from day camps to full-service options — campers can stay in the residence halls, eat at all the dining facilities and use the student recreation areas.
"We're really big about customer service and making each conference feel like they are No. 1 here," Carter said. "We get a lot of great feedback from the groups about services we provide and the friendliness of the employees here at the university. And they like the wholesomeness of the Christian environment that they can come to."
Some campers make use of the recreational opportunities in the region as well. Missions-oriented camps are making Liberty their headquarters but are venturing out into the community for projects.
|Students at Debate Camp watch a practice debate by Liberty University's Debate Team in the Debate Center on June 23.
Carter said the summer camps and conferences also give young people a chance to experience living on a college campus and to consider Liberty for their own education someday.
Representatives from Liberty's recruitment office are on hand this summer to welcome the visiting groups to campus and address them during their events, offering information about attending Liberty.

Grill Times
These are good estimates of cook times when using a medium-hot (350° to 400°) to hot (450° to 600°) grill. Keep in mind that heat intensity varies, especially with charcoal or hardwood fires.
Start with a clean grill, because food sticks to dirty grates. It's easier to clean a hot grate than a cool one—just make a few passes with a stiff wire brush after each use to keep the grill ready for your next cookout. Use tongs instead of a fork to turn food. They won't pierce the flesh, keeping juices inside.
Feel the Heat
Low 225° to 250°
Medium-low 300°
Medium 325° to 350°
Medium-high 350° to 400°
High 450° to 600°
Ingredient Total Grilling Time
Boneless steak (1 inch thick) 4 to 5 minutes per side (medium-rare),

Hamburgers (1⁄2 to 3⁄4 inch thick) 4 to 5 minutes per side
Chicken breasts 4 to 6 minutes per side

Heartfelt Thanks And Happy Trails
I first came to know WasWatching late in the 2005 season: A-Rod was having an MVP campaign, the Yankees were in the midst of a furious September push to win their 10th consecutive AL East Division title and a playoff date with the Angels loomed on the horizon.
Since that time – has it really been almost six years! – I've grown as a person and as a baseball fan. I can unequivocally say that I know more about baseball today than I did when I first came to this site a half-decade ago and so it goes without saying that WasWatching has had a meaningful and positive impact on my life.
More than any Yankee site on the internet, this place where I've spent innumerable hours (more than my employer would even care to know) fosters a community in the truest sense of the word. It's the only place that I can think of where the great majority of the commenters are both intelligent and friendly and the discussion rarely, if ever, devolves into a forum for inside jokes, snarky retorts and arrogant one-upmanship. There may be bigger, more popular or more forward-thinking sites out there but no site is better at making a commenter feel at home.
To wit: I've made a handful of "friends" on this site. I use the term in quotes because, despite conversing with these individuals for several years, I've only met a scant few in person. Despite that, I feel a genuine affection for these people and, thanks to things like Facebook and Twitter, I can actually interact with them in a non-baseball context as well. I know about their jobs, their kids, their girlfriends and wives, the vacations they take, the food they like to eat and anything else one friend would share with another. In short, it's been wonderful having an outlet like WasWatching because it has expanded my appreciation and love for baseball and allowed me to share that passion with some truly fantastic people.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication of one person. Thus, a special thank you goes to Steve for creating this site and, more importantly, for keeping it going through the various ups and downs in his personal and professional life. He's wanted to quit and close up shop more times than one can imagine but, deep down, it's obvious that his passion for the Yankees and for this community is very real. If it weren't, I wouldn't be able to type this message to you…
Today is my last day as a member of the WasWatching community: I've decided to cease contributing and commenting. The reasons for this decision aren't terribly important to anyone else so there's no reason for me to leave on a sour or down note. I'd rather go out the way I came in: happy, optimistic, proud to be a Yankee fan. The rest will just fade away over time.
Thanks everyone, its been a blast.

I think they should skip the Mustafar playset and give us the Gunship with clones.

Tecumseh, a brilliant Indian chief, warrior and orator, is shown being fatally shot by Colonel Johnson at the Battle of the Thames in Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Tecumseh and his followers joined forces with the British to resist the encroachment of settlers on Indian territory. With Tecumseh's death, however, the momentum and power of the Indian confederacy was broken. (1813)
The frieze in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol contains a painted panorama depicting significant events in American history. Thomas U. Walter's 1859 cross-section drawing of the new dome (constructed 1855-1863) shows a recessed belt atop the Rotunda walls with relief sculpture. Eventually it was painted in true fresco, a difficult and exacting technique in which the pigments are applied directly onto wet plaster. As the plaster cures the colors become part of the wall. Consequently, each section of plaster must be painted the day it is laid. The frieze is painted in grisaille, a monochrome of whites and browns that resembles sculpture. It measures 8 feet 4 inches in height and approximately 300 feet in circumference. It starts 58 feet above the floor.
The frieze is the work of three artists, Constantino Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini and Allyn Cox. It was designed by Brumidi, an Italian artist who studied in Rome before emigrating to America. Brumidi created a sketch for the Rotunda frieze in 1859 but was not authorized to begin work until 1877.

Medicare: Fix In-Home Elder Care
More qualified care workers needed for aging population
Happy birthday! I can't believe it's been 47 years. I've looked at the actuarial tables and you barely look a day over 40.
But flattery aside, we have to have a talk. Because right now, every eight seconds, another boomer turns 65. This year alone, more than 3 million Americans will celebrate that birthday. And more older people means more work for you, Medicare. Are you up for it?

I know you've had some work done recently. The Affordable Care Act will reduce fees for prescription drugs, bring down the cost of private Medicare supplements and increase access to free preventive care. According to some reports, Medicare enrollees with high prescription drug spending will save as much as $12,300 over the next 10 years thanks to that piece of reform alone. Maybe someone will use the savings to get you a present.
Plus, while economists are still debating whether your long-term fiscal health is in jeopardy, most agree the Affordable Care Act will ensure you are solvent longer. That law cuts $700 billion in unnecessary Medicare spending over the next 10 years, reducing the rate at which payments to providers are growing.
What politicians should be trying to do isn't cut you or privatize you, Medicare, but rather make you and our whole elder care system even stronger, especially given the unprecedented rise in demand. What needs fixing most? Our system for in-home elder care.
Over 90 percent of Americans age 50-plus agree that people should have the freedom to grow old at home with dignity. But that means they need qualified care workers by their side. To keep up with the aging population, we need to add at least 1.6 million new direct-care jobs by 2020. That's good news for jump-starting our economy. And since home care is less expensive than hospitals or long-term care facilities, it saves you money, too.
Yes, Medicare, we might have to raise your allowance. After all, if we value caring for older people with dignity, we should treat their care workers with dignity, too. The average U.S. home care worker makes less than $10 per hour. And many home care workers are immigrant women of color who, because they're not paid well enough and don't have sick days and access to immigration papers, can't in turn take care of their own families.
As I'm sure you remember, when the Senate passed the Medicare bill in 1965, President Lyndon Johnson said, "We have proved, once again, that the vitality of our democracy can shape the oldest of our values to the needs and obligations of today." Now that you're 47, it's time we start thinking about the needs and obligations of a new day. When we think of the health care system, we should be thinking about how to better care for everyone in it — including workers.
So happy birthday! And may you keep growing and adapting to our nation's needs.
PS — Since more than 80 percent of Americans on Medicare say they're very happy with you, I'll assume their cards are on the way to you, too.
