John Cena was loudly booed when he arrived.
JBL and Lex Luger are here. Bob Orton is with Randy Orton. DDP is here as well.
Todd Grisham reminded everyone to be respectful of those honored tonight. WWE had lots of signage to that effect all over the venue.
They played a trailer for the new WWE videogame as they are the sponsors of the Hall this year.
Drew Carey was booed when his name was shown on the opening video.
Jerry Lawler is the host again. He welcomed everyone to the evening saying it's his favorite of the year. He asked everyone to show their appreciation for the current stars.
Lawler talked about patriotism in wrestling and they played a video for Hacksaw Duggan.
After the video, Ted DiBiase was introduced. He said that a year ago he was honored to be inducted but is even more honored to induct a good friend he has known for many years. DiBiase teased he was going to drop money down like he did last year but then said, "how does it feel to want?"
DiBiase talked about the passion that Duggan had not just in WWE but in all sports, discussing his sports career in High School, College and the Atlanta Falcons. He said the first time he met Duggan, it was 1981 for Georgia while teaming with Tommy Rich. He said after tying up with Duggan he tagged out to Rich and said he's all yours. Duggan was all go go go.
DiBiase tells a story about Duggan busting his head open on a bolt in the ring. Duggan was pacing angry after and had bandages that slipped up so he looked like a Conehead and when he saw himself he laughed and then went out to work a battle royal the same night.
DiBiase told the story of working the Tuxedo match against Duggan in Mid South and then spoke proudly of Duggan beating kidney cancer.
Duggan brought the 2x4 with him and is wearing a tie. Duggan said it's been thirty years since he became a wrestler and he couldn't imagine that a chance meeting with Fritz Von Erich opened the door for wrestling. He said Fritz opened the door to the strange and wonderful world of wrestling.
He talked of working as Big Jim Duggan and talked of Arnold Skaaland telling him to come up with something better. He went to Hawaii and worked as the Convict under a mask. He moved onto Georgia Championship Wrestling where he met DiBiase and Terry Gordy, who he called a wonderful friend.
He talked about having a run as Wildman Duggan before becoming Hacksaw Duggan for Joe Blanchard. He said that his mentor Bruiser Brody advised him to carry something he can use to the ring and that's where the board came from.
Duggan said his first big break was for Bill Watts and told of the angle where Ted DiBiase joined forces with Skandar Akbar, which allowed Duggan to defend America.
He said his biggest accomplishment was main- eventing the Garden against Andre the Giant. He said working for WWF changed his life in ways he can't even explain. He talked about moving to WCW and how Atlanta was important to his career and now he's being inducted here.
Duggan said he's wrestled in every state and dozens of countries and talked about the power of wrestling. He said he had the chance to travel the world and even wrestle with the children of his friends. He said he was never in a group or a clique but he always had the flag and his 2x4.
Duggan thanked his sister and his parents. He asked his daughters to rise and thanked them. He spoke lovingly of his wife and all her support through the years. Duggan thanked all the forces around the world for fighting for us and closed out with a big Hooo.
Lawler introduced a video on Bob Armstrong.
Introducing Armstrong are Brian, Scott and Brad Armstrong. No Steve. They came out to the Road Dogg music and he did a Road Dogg style promo and then said he was going to break character and shoot.
He thanked the fans for their support of the family and thanked WWE for all they did for the family. He said 50 years ago his father became engaged to their mother and pro wrestling both and they both still love him as well.
Brian said that watching that video he realizes he stole everything from his father. He said he's never been prouder of his dad than he is right now. He did a Road Dogg ring introduction for his father.
Bob came out and acted like he was asleep then joked a few times before starting. He thanked everyone in WWE for the honor. He said his other son couldn't be here but he'd see him soon. He joked that his wife raised five boys including him. He joked she has the best wristlock in the world and would apply it on the boys when they got too rough imitating their dad. He thanked her for never giving up on him.
He said that he remembers seeing his first match like it was yesterday, in 1942. He saw Gorgeous George, who was a master showman, and when he came to Marietta he sold the house out by going to a ladies beauty parlor. He said Marietta set a record that night that was never broken.
Bob begged his father to take him. He was six years old at the time and when he saw George it was like watching an angel floating across the ring. When George through a bobby pin into the crowd it was the biggest fight he ever saw. An elderly woman got it and was helped in the ring with blood on her face and a smile on her face.
Bob said he wanted to be a pro wrestler and became one. He did it while he worked as a firefighter and one day had to decide between the two. Tonight he knows he made the right decision.
He thanked everyone from the bottom of his heart and wished them goodnight.
Lawler said that he didn't think anyone was a bigger fan of the Divas than him and they played a video for Sunny.
All of the Divas came out to induct Sunny. LayCool said everyone came to see them. Michelle said she is speechless and Layla joked that was the first time. They said tonight wasn't about them but someone who made it possible for them to be an us.
They said the term WWE Diva would not exist without her, she was groundbreaking and was ahead of social media by being one of the most downloaded women ever. They said she was the original Diva and now the Hall was flawless.
Sunny came out and pointed out the Divas, saying look at what she started. She said that she's still been in shock at this. She said everyone knows her life was a roller coaster and now her life has come full circle.
She talked of being a huge fan of the business and meeting wrestlers as a child. She said that she never intended to get in the business and was just the girlfriend of a really underrated wrestle, Chris Candido. There was a huge pop for Candido.
She told the story of being recruited into SMW by Jim Cornette when she wanted to go into medical school. Two years later, WWE offered her a tryout and she flew to Stamford on her birthday. She said she had no idea how to be an announcer and had a horrendous audition. She put WWE out of her mind forever but they asked her to start several weeks later.
She began working as Tamara Lynn Murphy and six months later Sunny was born. She said she had the chance to show what a woman had to offer. She said it was all thrown at her and she did it all from refereeing, announcing, managing and doing the first on- location bikini video.
She said there was a debate on who was the first Diva and tonight they can put that debate to rest.
Tammy thanked her parents and her boyfriend, saying he got her back in Sunny shape. She thanked the makeup artists for making her look so great and thanked WWE for always inviting her back.
She talked of Terry Funk giving her advice to give the same show no matter how large the crowd is. She noted she was the youngest inductee and said you never know if she might be able to come back for another run since what Sunny wants Sunny gets.
Lawler introduced Terry Funk. The Funker said it was time to get down to the real deal. He was here to induct someone into the Hall of Fame. He said Abby is an ugly guy but was the toughest guy. He said that he and Dory had a love hate relationship with him. He said they hated to wrestle him but loved the money. He said Abby filled asses every 18 inches without speaking one word on the mic.
Funk did a Dusty impression as he told a story about facing Abby in Japan. Terry tried to tell the referee Joe Higuchi that there was an object in his pants and the ref said we all have objects in our pants.
Abby pulled out a fork and forked him in Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo and everywhere else all the way to Texas. He said Abby made brutality beautiful and made Terry so much money he would marry him if he could.
Abby came out and pulled out a fork, teasing he would use it. Abby said that at 3 a.m. he received a phone call from Johnny Ace and was told he wanted to put Abby in the Hall of Fame. He punched himself in the face and asked who it was again. Abby got emotional and said he wishes his parents were here but they are gone. He said his 90 year- old aunt and his friends and family are here. He got the fans to chant his name.
Abby said he was really happy to be here but wishes Ace was here so he could fork him. He said he's been around a long time because the man upstairs takes care of him. He thanked everyone.
They aired an awesome video on the Road Warriors and Lawler introduced Dusty Rhodes.
Dusty said it was a powerful night and when you talk about power, you talk about the Warriors. He said the Class this year set the table for today's stars.
Dusty talked about Paul Ellering's career and said that he was the real deal. He and the Warriors crossed paths and when they started their trip to stardom, Ellering legitimately managed them. Dusty talked about Ellering's exploits in the Iditarod. He said Ellering led those dogs and he led the Warriors.
Dusty spoke of Hawk, who he loved to call Hank. He said that only the good die young and Hawk was proof of that. He didn't slow down for anyone and ran life hard. His presence is being felt tonight. Dusty said he knew the booker at the time and told the story of the Warriors against the Midnight Express in the Night of the Skywalkers. He told the story of Bubba Rogers missing the chance to catch Jim Cornette. Dusty said Hawk was a good friend and we miss him dearly.
Dusty said that Animal would puff up like a toad frog when he was mad at him. Dusty said he was a leader and one of the most powerful men around. He said Animal was a loving father and made some jokes about his son's football career.
Dusty said the LOD were the best tag team of all time. He told the story of Animal having his back when a fan sucker punched Dusty in a bar, making it funny. Dusty used a sound bite of Hawk and said it was his honor to induct the mighty Road Warriors.
There was a huge LOD chant as Ellering and Animal came out. Ellering was carrying a rolled up Wall Street Journal. Ellering and Animal thanked Dusty. Animal said their career started in Georgia Championship Wrestling. He said that three weeks into their career, they were told to hit the ring on Dusty and Ole Anderson told them go get yourselves over and they didn't know what that meant. They hit the ring and were told to open him up. Animal said he didn't know what that meant. They were told not to let anyone get in the ring and Stan Hansen was then told that no matter what, he was to get in the ring and take out the Warriors. The rib ended with Animal outside crying and having to pull a knocked out Hawk from the ring.
Animal thanked Dusty for seeing something in the Warriors they didn't see in themselves. He said he will always be indebted to Dusty for what he did for them.
Ellering said he was starting to think they weren't going to make it here and were exiled to the land of misfit toys. Animal said they were very blessed and thanked the man above for allowing him to be in the sports entertainment business. He ran down the titles they won and said he would give them all up for what they are being given tonight.
Ellering said that the Warriors were like kids without adult supervision and he was the adult. They told some funny stories about Hawk's toughness.
Animal told a story about all the tough guys that came from Minnesota like, Rick Rude, Nikita Koloff and Smash being from the same school. He is recruited by Ole Anderson to become the Road Warrior and was all full of himself until he learned a lesson of humility from Roddy Piper. He told Piper how he wanted to learn to control the crowd and Piper told him that he just didn't see it in him. Today that's something they joke about today.
Animal talked about Johnny Weaver putting him to sleep and how that was a learning experience.
Ellering said they were here for the last laugh of wicked mirth. He said they give thanks for being named a symbol of excellence in the industry.
Animal started talking about his family, thanking his father and talked about his father's reaction to Animal becoming a wrestler. He thanked his brothers for being here. He asked his wife Julie to please stand and told her she was a true saint. He talked of her support. Animal told his son Joe that he was a hero and thanked him for fighting in Iraq. He thanked his son James, who got a pop. He said that James was always his buddy and his son turned back into a little kid when he found out Animal was going into the Hall. He praised his daughter.
Ellering thanked all his family in the business and all of his real family for allowing him to have his career. He said the night wasn't about them, but rather the fans. Animal said they were the fuel that fed them and thanked them forever.
Ellering said he was proud of the chance to be part of something special. He said that he has one special friend with him and Hawk. He said Hawk was a son, a brother, a warrior and a friend. He said today they are dancing to the music Hawk plays. He said that Hawk was a friend to all that knew him.
Ellering talked about the day Hawk passed away and that Hawk would have wanted a celebration of life...and what a life he loved. He said that Hawk only wanted to make one person proud...his wife Dale.
Animal thanked everyone who paved the way for them and everyone who put them over. The Warriors were only as good as the people they were with in the ring.
Animal said Hawk was a great man but was rough around the edges. Animal said that he wishes he could explain the connection they had but he can't. He knew what Hawk was thinking by the look of his eyes. He said he misses him terribly and thinks of him every day.
Ellering pulled out a Hawk action figure and placed it on the podium. They received a standing ovation. Ellering said that he misses Hawk. He said he's not an angel but he knows one and that angel says....
Animal closed with "Oh what a rush!"
Awesome speech.
Lawler pitched it to the Drew Carey video. Fans were booing it.
Kane is inducting Carey. Kane talked about eliminating 11 Royal Rumble competitors in one Rumble but after he set that milestone people were only talking about Drew Carey.
Kane gave a funny induction saying Carey was the embodiment of pure evil and that reminds him of him. Kane introduced Carey.
Carey thanked everyone. He was getting booed. He said he didn't care if they booed because he was rich so do whatever you want. He told a bunch of jokes that bombed. He said he's having such a great time here he might change his name to Dwayne Johnson.
Carey plugged The Miz since he's from Cleveland. He said he was surprised when he was invited but since he loves wrestling and loves it outwardly he said let's do it. He praised wrestlers for being so great at what they do and for putting their bodies on the line.
Carey said he was thankful to be a small part of the WWE Universe and would see everyone at WrestleMania.

Judges Allowed To Use Google To 'Confirm Intuition' In Cases
from the well,-there's-that deptOne of the more controversial posts we've had recently concerned the discussion about whether or not jurors should be allowed to use the internet to do research related to a case they are hearing. It seems like most folks here were very much against it, though I think it's something worth exploring in more detail. But, let's take this question a few steps across the courtroom. What about judges? In a recent appeals court ruling, it was found that it's okay for a judge to use Google to "confirm his intuition."
The case involved a bank robber, and a question over whether or not he violated the terms of his release by (you guessed it) robbing another bank. There was a question over what the robber wore that resulted in the Googling:
Chin reviewed several pieces of evidence, including a bank surveillance video showing a robber who wore a yellow rain hat. A yellow rain hat was found in the garage of [Anthony] Bari's landlord.While that single point seems to favor the suspect, in providing some bit of reasonable doubt that the yellow rain hat alone proves who it was, the judge, Denny Chin, felt that there was enough overall evidence, and sentenced the guy to three years in jail. However, because of that Google search, Bari appealed, saying this violated federal rules of evidence. However, the appeals court had no problem with it:
Noting similarities between the hats, Chin at a hearing said he resorted to Google Inc's search engine for help. "We did a Google search," and "one can Google yellow rain hats and find lots of different yellow rain hats," he said.
In its decision, the appeals court said most federal evidence rules "do not apply with their full force" in proceedings to revoke supervised releases.I'm curious to see if the same people, who were horrified at my suggestion that Google searches for juries might not be such a horrible thing, feel the same way in the case of a judge. Because one of the key points raised in the discussion here was that "rules of evidence" were concrete and could never be messed with -- and even suggesting that the concept might be due for an update was pure blasphemy. Yet, here it seems that an appeals court recognizes that modern technology may change how rules of evidence can work.
Using this "relaxed" standard, it endorsed Chin's effort to confirm his "common sense supposition" that more than one yellow rain hat is available for sale.
But it went further, saying improved broadband speeds and Internet search engines cut the cost of confirming intuitions.
The court said that 20 years ago. "a trial judge may have needed to travel to a local department store to survey the rain hats on offer.
"Today, however, a judge need only take a few moments to confirm his intuition by conducting a basic Internet search," it added. "As the cost of confirming one's intuition decreases, we would expect to see more judges doing just that."

1 Robbery Suspect Caught After Standoff; Other Robs Bank
A robbery suspect barricaded herself in a room Wednesday afternoon at Drawbridge Inn, police said, but her boyfriend was already plotting another heist.
Sandra Messer, 31, surrendered just before 5 p.m., but another suspect police expected to find could not be located inside the Fort Mitchell hotel.
Authorities said Messer and Joe Woods, 31, both of Winchester, robbed the US Bank Tuesday morning in Sardinia.
Police set up a command post around 2 p.m. in the parking lot, and a SWAT team and U.S. Marshals arrived at the scene.
Hotel staff helped authorities evacuate 40 rooms on two different floors as officers arrived carrying a pair of metal shields and a battering ram.
But Norwood police said late Wednesday that after reviewing a security tape, it appeared that Joe Woods robbed a bank there only minutes after his girlfriend surrendered in Fort Mitchell.
Anyone with information about Woods is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 352-3040.

This is a long-term follow-up study of people who are identified during acute or recent HIV infection and are being followed at clinical research sites associated with the Acute HIV Infection and Early Disease Research Program (AIEDRP). The purpose of this study is to collect data on the immunological and virologic responses that occur early in the course of HIV infection in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced HIV infected adults.
Study hypothesis: This study will examine the immunological responses that occur early in the course of HIV infection in treated and untreated individuals. The long-term follow-up of these subjects will help identify host immunological and genetic factors along with therapeutic strategies associated with control of viremia and delayed disease progression. In addition, this cohort will provide the recruiting mechanism to support future trials of therapy to restore immune function. Furthermore, this cohort will provide a population suitable to monitoring changing patterns in the transmission of drug resistant viral strains while also evaluating ongoing behavioral risk factors associated with HIV transmission.

Marc Emery Prison Blog Post Number Eleven
Marijuana Activist Marc Emery Prison Blog
Tuesday, August 24 2010
Dearest Jodie: It was a tremendous visit with you on Sunday morning. I am so proud of you for doing such a great job speaking at Hempfest. I know Jeremiah is uploading the videos of your speeches to Youtube (found here), then shared on the Cannabisculture.com and FREEMARC.ca websites. I can't wait to hear the feedback!
I had a challenging week as you know. The no-flesh diet they give me is so terribly poor, of the 14 meals I get here weekly, 5 of them substitute the meat of the others with a packet of peanut butter, that's it. And as you know, I don't eat peanut butter. So I go hungry 5 meals out of 14. Then on two of the other remaining nine meals, they give me a 5-spoonful carton of cottage cheese. The other seven have soy or cheese substitutes, almost always very poorly prepared and simply reheated. It's so discouraging. I eat all the apples, oranges, bananas I can get, sometimes the other inmates give me theirs but I have to eat them right away because we are not allowed to have food from the "kitchen" in our rooms, which causes a massive amount of waste as so much fruit & food is just thrown out because if you don't eat it in 15 minutes at sit-down, into the garbage it has to go. The rules are absurd and cause so much waste and, in my case, hunger and malnutrition.
This past week we were locked down for 36 hours because one of the inmates' stash of alcohol hooch was discovered. I've been breathalyzed four times since I've been here; the first time in my life I've had a breathalyzer test of any kind. That was Wednesday and Thursday morning, so I couldn't shower, exercise or use email or the phone during the constant lock-down.
On Friday, when I expected you to be here at 2:00 pm for our long-anticipated visit that day, I did not get the call to visitation and as the hours went by I got extremely anxious about you being in an accident, or hurt, or worse, or held-up at the border. All sorts of terrifying things went through my head because you are never late or miss a visit. Yet all day the phones and internet were disabled because inmates were being moved that day and as a security measure (so they say) all phone & emails go down when a bus or planeload of prisoners is on the move; that's BOP (Bureau of Prisons) policy. So I had no idea what happened to you, or way to contact you. I was so torn up by anxiety that I had to go and throw up and then cry around 5:30 pm, 3.5 hours after you were due here. By 6:00 pm I was pacing the track upstairs looking pale and distraught when the C.O. (Corrections Officer) called me to his office and said he saw you at 2 pm, first in line, at the front entrance when he came to work on his shift. He said that all visitation was canceled, but the inmates weren't being told! I was the first to know! Then I cried in relief you were alright but stunned they would let me and others here go all afternoon terrified something had happened to our loved ones without informing us visitation was canceled. It seems incredibly heartless and so unnecessary. One fellow inmate had his wife drive three hours from Blaine, but she was turned away and had to drive three hours home. Others came from Portland, 5 hours away, and were rejected. And of course we get no explanation. Finally phones came on at 7 pm and I was able to call you to breath a sign of relief. Then email came on and got your note about how crushed you were to have our visits canceled without explanation.
Of course, it was probably because the scheduled airlift of a huge number of inmates on Con-Air broke down and the inmates all had be returned for the weekend to Sea-Tac. I have never seen this place as crowded as it was this past weekend, with some serious bruisers and hardened types among the temporary residents. I have never been so anxious here as in those 4 hours when I was wondering what could have happened to you.
As you know, I am looking forward to getting my sentencing out of the way on Friday, September 10th in downtown Seattle at the federal court. If all goes as expected, I will be sentenced to the 5 years I agreed to in my plea deal (I have almost 6 months in already in accumulated time served in Canadian & US jails on the sentence) and that day I hope to submit my Treaty Transfer application to the Canadian government via the Canadian Consulate here in Seattle. Then, following that application, I am hoping my loyal supporters will show up on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 at hundreds of busy intersections, football or baseball stadiums, or in front of Member of Congress or Member of Parliament local offices, at Canadian and US Embassies and Consulates throughout North America and the world, or just at busy intersections in your town, urging my imminent transfer back to the Canadian correctional system to serve out my sentence.
I am hoping individuals, pairs or groups of four will go to busy places anytime from noon to 5 pm with signs saying "Return Prince of Pot Marc Emery to Canada from US Prison" or "Google Marc Emery - Political Prisoner - Bring Him Home" or "FreeMARC.ca - Return Marc Emery to Canada" or "Vic Toews: Approve Prison Transfer for Marc Emery" and that sort of thing. Big king-size sheets with these messages at bridge overpasses are great too, so traffic on the highway below can see it. Wherever there will be lots of eyeballs to view the signs is a good place. I'd prefer groups of two or four spread out over several busy places, rather than one group of 10 or 20 in one mass. Encourage people to sign up at WhyProhibition.ca and use my Facebook fan page, Facebook.com/PrinceOfPot, to publicize where they will be. Have people take photographs of their action on what I am calling the Marc Emery Support Day Mobilization (though my supporters are calling it the "Free Marc Emery" worldwide rally).
I am keeping busy with letter writing, I have written 25 letters in the most recent 3 days, and am writing my 2010 Canadian Voters' Guide and great lengths of my autobiography for Dana Larsen, who is putting it together for me. I am very prolific and busy and it's because of you, my dear wife, and your endless love for me, and the support you generate for me, that inspires me to keep producing under this incredible adversity.
I Love You,
Great job at Hempfest sweetheart!

- Resolve to honor your commitment to your spouse. Whether in thought or in deed, stay pure and loyal in the union God made.
- Resolve to not take anything that's not yours, including stuff you can hold and put in your pocket, and plenty that you can't, like music downloads, streaming movies and hours on your timecard.
- Resolve to speak about others only with truth and love, not gossip.
- Resolve to be content with what you have, and not worry about that others are amassing.
Everyone makes physical resolutions - lose weight, eat right, exercise - only to have those go by the wayside rather quickly.
The ones above are personal, spiritual goals that really should not be New Year's Resolutions - they should be at the heart of every Christian on every day of every month of every year of our lives. Teach them to your children too - they are important.
The Brandon Moncriefs hope that each and every one of you has a very wonderful 2014. Love each other, spend time together with your families (no phones, no TV, no electronic devices - just talk and be together), love even those who are "unlovable". Give to those less fortunate - people are so blessed and so rich even when they don't think they have enough - so share what you do have.

My favorite medieval-ish reenactment organization, the Society for Creative Anachronism, has just moved into the Facebook age. And the conversation threads are pretty mesmerizing — especially a recent one on "the most interesting or most peculiar period food you've tried in the Society." For the uninitiated, the SCA puts on a lot of events that involve everything from dancing to sword-fighting (or stick fighting — whatever), and often these events include a "Feast" where the chefs attempt to recreate authentic medieval food. Which is the source of the goofy song you see above, about the horrors of trying to eat at an SCA Feast.
It's also why people in the SCA have eaten some seriously terrifying dishes. Here are just a smattering of the answers on Facebook: stuffed hamsters, squirrel pie, "rat on a stick," doormouse, camel, "fish jello," lampreys, reindeer, emu, "fish newtons," chihuahua (I'm having a hard time believing this one), and "blood soup."
Yep, the middle ages. Not such a good time for rodents, apparently. What's the most interesting or peculiar food you've ever eaten at a holiday dinner? It doesn't need to be a medieval reenactment dinner — any festive eating occasion will do.
Check out the SCA on Facebook, and get medieval.

Cast: Bruce Willis (Korben Dallas), Gary Oldman (Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg), Milla Jovovich (Leeloo), Ian Holm (Father Cornelius), Chris Tucker (Ruby Rhod)
Director: Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Professional, The Messenger)
Plot: Without giving anything away, the film is about a taxi driver who helps a supreme being attempt to save the planet from intergalactic doom and death. Did I mention it's set in the future? It's set in the future.
Why you should watch it: While perhaps not the greatest movie, nor the most box-office breaking, The Fifth Element is an underrated gem. It falls in the canon of the cult classic, but I don't think it could even be considered that, seeing as most people I speak with absolutely love the film. Directed by Frenchman Luc Besson, this was his third "Hollywood" attempt at a movie. His first two notable films, La Femme Nikita and The Professional were underground heavyweights in their own right. This film has Besson using the old action-movie standby: Bruce Willis. Willis is, of course, right in his wheelhouse.
If you like to see Bruce Willis shoot things, fire off quips, and give the occasional "Bruce Willis Wide Eye Stare And Kill Folks" thing, then this is a movie for you. However, it doesn't venture into the typical late 80s, early 90s Willis cheese. I'm talking to you, Striking Distance. When Willis has a great character to work with (he does here), when he has dialogue written to highlight his acting/comedy chops (he does here), and when he gets to fire off big-ass guns (he does here), then Willis can truly make you enjoy a film. His Korben Dallas is a former military specialist, now cab hack, who falls ass-backwards into helping save the planet from certain destruction. He does this by helping the title character fulfill the purpose for which she was created.
Earth, wind, fire, and air are the four elements. Milla Jovovich is the fifth. Well, her character is. She is a divine being with the ability to save the world. I've never been sold on Jovovich as an actress. Face it, she won't challenge Streep for any awards. However, she does alright in this movie, mostly because her character speaks very little English. She pairs up with Ian Holm's nervous priest to try to save the world. Between Willis and these two, you'd think there's enough over-the-top to go around. You'd be wrong.
Gary Oldman is, of course, the best part of the movie. He's a chameleon. He can portray any person with any accent at any time and pull it off. His Zorg is a cold, calculating, money-and-violence driven character. Oldman puts his specific twist on the character in giving Zorg great mannerisms and just the slightest hint of a speech impediment. "Not one or two or three, but four! FOUR STONES!"
I'll keep this short. Chris Tucker plays an entertainer named Ruby Rhod. Loudly. Emphatically. Comedically. You'll either like him or you won't.
I've always liked Luc Besson. I first became aware of his writing and directing from watching La Femme Nikita. I thought that to be a very high-concept film, and entertaining as hell. Besson uses fantastic visuals, goes overboard on the violence and explosions, but without them becoming cartoonish. You could tell he was having fun with this movie, and that's about the best word I can use to describe it: fun. It's a fun movie. Give it a shot if you haven't seen it.
Feel free to watch the trailer and see for yourself if you're interested.

Now that we know that Michael Bay is taking the "mutant" out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, what other unpleasant surprises does he have in store for our reptilian martial artists? One storyboard artist has applied his predictive powers to imagine an alien turtles movie packed with faux hip-hop slang and, of course, explosions.
Storyboard artist Sam Saxton has some awful (and awfully funny) ideas for how Bay's Ninja Turtles might go. (Incidentally, that's the movie's current working title; no "teenage," no "mutant." Just Ninja Turtles.) I'd say that it reaches its apex when the turtles describe their rich alien backstory, but not nearly enough stuff has blown up by then.
This is what I expect Michael Bay's "Ninja Turtle" movie storyboards are going be like [Storyboard Comics via reddit]

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. The cloth is usually woven on a loom, a device that holds the warp threads in place while filling threads are woven through them [from Wikipedia].
When weaving was invented, people started to make fabric and sew clothes. It was a huge leap forward for the mankind. This craft is one of the most important among all folk clothing crafts.
Here are the samples of Crimean Tatar (ethnic group that lives on the Crimean Peninsula, the northern coast of the Black Sea) traditional weaving. The woven pieces of cloth are vintage and are a part of a museum collection.
Weaving – one of the main old crafts
Add here your opinion, experience, and knowledge about the crafts connected to the traditional costumes of various countries and ethnic groups. Embroidery, weaving, applique, knitting, quilting, openwork, tie-dye, braiding, leathercraft, etc. Don't forget about the photos to visualize your story.

It's hard to believe that despite all the comeback attempts from former Cubs pitcher Mark Prior, he hasn't actually pitched in the Major Leagues since the summer of 2006. Since then, he's tried to latch on with the Padres, Yankees, and Rangers, never once making it to The Show. Now the Red Sox are the 31-year-old's next stop on the comeback trail.
Will Prior ever pitch for the Red Sox? Probably not, but with the inconsistency of Boston's pitching in this first four weeks, Ben Cherington really doesn't have much to lose. That's also due to the fact that the Red Sox are actually playing well again, having won seven of their last nine games. But as the Journal's Jason Gay points out, some narratives just won't play, so let's just all make like it's a sweaty-palmed desperation reach by a rookie GM whose team is flailing and no hope is in sight, save for a former Cubs phenom who spectacularly flamed out.

listening to arc of passion disc 1 as i type.
I'm listening to Vine, Bark, and Spore. Brings back memories of the 2000 Tuscon concert. That was a great show.
Getting in the habit of having an Immersion for late night reading/sleep mode. Harder to find better, in my collection at least, for complete chill mode without any distraction. Seems like Immersion 1 and the 'Sleep Chamber' disc from Immersion 3 are the best for sleeping, though 'Still' is good for sleep as well. I'm kind of taking the titles literally, and even use 'First Light' ease me into the waking world on early mornings. Seems to fit perfectly, but doesn't demand it either. The Immersions are fascinating, and I hope to put some of them on in the work room for a more active and loud listen. I like to imagine they are a kind of Bach organ work, or what he would be playing if transported to our time. It's a pretty tall order to be compared to Bach, but I think over time it is borne out by the music, and how it seems fresh, honest, and deeper over time. Also looking forward to Arc of Passion, which I was going to try to skip over, but couldn't resist, due in part to the sequencer stuff it has on it. Been getting in to more of this kind of electronic music via Ian Boddy and Tangerine Dream, and don't have any of the Roach sequencer albums, so it will be fun to see how Roach works with it. Looks like Arc of Passion will have a less dissonat sound than the Immersions, which I enjoy sometimes...
Can't wait to hear his new release, "Arc of Passion". I'll probably pick it up after christmas or so. How does it sound actually? A bit like "Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces"?
Someone (Loren possibly) on the old thread mentioned that is was a necessary thing, but I didn't catch if they posted the reason or not. I think it was something like it'll make sense when you hear it. I haven't heard it yet.
I really like "Early Man". There's some wonderful and unusual sound design and processing on that one, and it sounds quite different to all his other albums, too.
I really like "Early Man". There's some wonderful and unusual sound design and processing on that one, and it sounds quite different to all his other albums, too. Anybody else a fan of "Trance Spirits" here? I'm not that keen on all of it, but the title piece is perhaps my favorite tribal-ambient work ever.

Year of the Tiger: Shaping up to be grr-eat
In the picture above, photographer Steve Peterson snaps guests at Johnny and Anne Hsu's Chinese New Year party as they break out the chopsticks for the traditional "toss to prosperity" that begins a banquet celebrating the start of the Year of the Tiger.
The Chinese believe that those born in the Year of the Tiger (1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 and 1998) are natural-born leaders; individuals who are smart, instinctive, quick learners who need to be challenged, prefer to work alone and change careers frequently because they're easily bored. The sign of the tiger is one of bravery, and is believed to keep away the three main tragedies of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts.
That description could have fit any number of the Hsu's guests, a strong, motivated and accomplished group that included John and Anna Sie (he founded what is now Starz Entertainment Group); Mareo Torito, owner of Red Bird Farms; Trong Lam, owner of Pacific Ocean International Supermarket; Karen Bleeker, president of Community College of Denver; King Soopers president Russ Dispense and his wife, Debbie; artist Harrison Tu; and Hao Jiang Tian, the Metropolitan Opera star who got his start in Denver.

Topic Overview
Adults with congenital heart defects can live long, full, and active lives. But they are different from adults with other heart problems like coronary artery disease. They typically have unique issues with things like birth control, pregnancy, and employment.
Health care
Adults who have congenital heart defects need routine checkups. Be sure you have a primary care physician. You might also need to see your cardiologist regularly, such as once a year.
Most adults with congenital heart defects don't have limitations on what kind of job they can have. But before you start career planning, get an expert opinion from your doctor about your physical capabilities and risk for future heart problems. With this information, you can make realistic choices and get appropriate training.
Some adults with congenital heart defects may be restricted from certain types of jobs because of the potential risks to others in the event that they aren't able to carry out their duties because of physical problems. But this doesn't mean that you should otherwise be restricted in your employment options.
Although very few adults with congenital heart defects are considered disabled, employers may negatively assess an adult's capabilities because of false ideas about the condition. Become informed about your legal rights. For example, your health status should not be part of a job interview. Check with your provincial government and become informed about your legal rights.
Endocarditis prevention
A congenital heart defect can raise the risk of an infection in the heart called endocarditis. Bacteria in the mouth cause most cases of it. If you are at high risk, you might take antibiotics before you have dental and surgical procedures that could put bacteria or fungi into your blood. The antibiotics lower the risk of getting endocarditis.
Ask your doctor and dentist if you need antibiotics before procedures.
Also, take good care of your teeth and any types of infections.
Birth control options
If you have a congenital heart defect, you also will need to carefully consider the type of birth control you use. You will want to use a form that poses the lowest risk to your health.
Talk with your family doctor, gynecologist, or cardiologist about the right option for you.
Both women and men with a congenital heart defect need to think about a few things when planning a pregnancy. These include the risk of passing a heart defect to your child as well as the possible health risks of a pregnancy in a woman with a heart defect.
For more information, see Congenital Heart Defects: Pregnancy.
Physical activity
Most adults with congenital heart defects don't have to limit how much activity they do. But restrictions on the intensity or type of exercise might be needed. This will depend on the type of defect and/or how severe it is. If you have restrictions, you can still be active and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
For more information, see:
- Congenital Heart Defects: Exercise and Sports.
- Sex and Your Heart.

With the beach even more packed than the day prior, spectators and competitors arrived to the second day of the Copa Mundial de Kitesurf Adicora with palpable eagerness and enthusiasm.
Riders, volunteers, friends, family, and fans all gathered early on, not taking the chance of missing a single moment of action. As the forecast was expected to build throughout the day, Race Director Erik Troostheide made the decision to run races first, followed by the beginning of men's freestyle single eliminations.
Starting around 11:45 with race #3, the racers entered the water once again, more motivated than ever to improve upon their previous day's standings and climb closer to a top ranking. One fact throughout every race of the day became clear: Bryan Lake (USA) and Riccardo Leccese (COL) were the men to beat.
With every race, these two competitors separated from the pack with much distance, inspiring consistent one-on-one battles for first position. At each mark and at nearly every down and upwind stretch, Leccese and Lake went head to head, putting on an amazing racing spectacle for all to see. The crowd grew more exited than ever at these moments of close calls and tight finishes, which only demonstrated why racing is deservedly one of the fastest growing disciplines in the sport of kiteboarding.
In speaking of the racing conditions in Adicora, Bryan Lake discussed how happy he is to compete in a place with such great conditions, and that this may very well be his favorite PKRA tour stop of the year thus far.
In the afternoon, the "godfather" of kiting in Adicora – Carlos Cornieles arrived all the way from Hood River, Oregon, USA, to support his community and see the transformation that kiteboarding is contributing to in Venezuela. Interacting with the crowd and inspiring even more excitement and appreciation, Cornieles commented that he feels incredibly proud and fulfilled to witness such a monumental event taking place in his home spot.
Interestingly enough, Carlos began windsurfing at this spot nearly 20 years ago, eventually opening the first kite school in Venezuela here in Adicora.
The hour of 3:00pm brought about the beginning of the men's single elimination freestyle heats at the Copa Mundial de Kitesurf Adicora. Starting off with Aquiles Zabala (VEN) and Johnno Scholte (NED), both competitors put on a show for the crowd, with the local Venezuelan earning many cheers and applause – Scholte advancing.
Locals Manuel Milan (VEN) and Oscar Hurtado (VEN) also initially and happily advanced in their heats, eventually losing to top riders Alberto Rondina, (ITA) and Alex Pastor (ESP). Big moves were brought forth by Kevin Langeree (NED) and Youri Zoon (NED), as well as Stefan Spiessberger (AUS). Perhaps not surprisingly, the highest score of the day went to Pastor, who demonstrated great amplitude and consistency in his heat #16, which earned 50.45 total points. Zoon took second place for the highest scoring heat of the day with 48.74.
For tomorrow, great wind is expected to continue, with forecasts calling for a solid 15-19 knots of winds. The live cast also came together today with success, as commentator Dave Tyburski operated in the live stream booth, bringing the action to viewers around the world.
This live stream will continue for the remainder of the event, for which comments and suggestions are always welcome via Facebook and Twitter. Main sponsors TEX. C.A., Siragon, CanTV, and the city of Adicora can be recognized as well for contributing to such a great and well-received event here on the windy shores of the Caribbean Sea.

Three spring and one aquatic tasting menus.
Lots of amuse. A sea urchin soup which was much better than anything that includes the overrated sea urchin normally is. A tasty little something with flying fish roe. A gelatinous scallop thing. A creamy foie gras brulee. Gougeres (can't go wrong). Goat cheese with crispy bits. Oysters on leek/potato puree. All very fine.
But then, the horror. A beet salad. Very pretty. A vertical arrangement of around 10 5x1cm cylinders of different colored beets. But no amount of visual artistry could disguise the fact that they were beets. A fennel and orange salad that preceded the aquatic menu was a lot nicer.
Loup de Mer Tartare with Meyer Lemon Oil and Osetra Caviar
Good but a bit boring.
Maine Diver Scallops Saffron Consommé with Green Apples and Ginger
Nice scallops, clean tasting presentation. Good.
Nova Scotia Lobster Butter Poached with chantenay carrots, orage and Gewurtztrminer
Perfectly cooked lobster. Soft and sweet. Lovely subtle Gewurtz sauce. Redundant carrots.
Meyer Lemon Meringue Tart, Warm Chiboust and Lemon-Basil Sorbet
"Elevages Périgord" Foie Gras Terrine with Rhubarb, Golden Raisins and Noble Sour Vinegar
Nice creamy foie layered with chopped rhubarb and topped with rhubarb jelly. I am not a fan of rhubarb but this was good. Naturally accompanied by predictably vile brioche. A nice salad of asparagus dressed, I assume, with the vinegar. Noble enough and sour.
Scottish Langoustine Butter Poached with Carrot-Orange Nage
Very good Dublin bay prawns but the nage was a bit overpowering.
Jamison Farm Lamb Herb Roasted with Tomato Confit and Nicoise Olives
A chop, a couple of pieces of stew and a confit of belly. The lamb could have been lambier but still very acceptable.
Composition of Desserts "Araguani" Chocolate Mille-Feuille and Orange-Jasmine Crepe Napoleon
Most hated this. I thought it fine enough.
One service glitch: one diner, expressly averse to shellfish was nonetheless served scallops.
With three bottles of wine between four, $155 a head inclusive.
Go before Meyer sucks the life out of the new chef.

It comes before twalve.
Squeat Mungry and I had Humm's dishes shortly before Christmas time. We posted about it (with some photos) at the end of this thread.
Squeat had the beets and gave me a taste. Yumma.

I subsituted the Loup de Mer tartare from the Aquatic Menu for the langoustine. The composition of the dish had changed and unbeknownst to the waitress also included scallops on top. They were gracious and replaced the dish immediately when it was pointed out to them. Otherwise the service was good.
I liked Chef Humm's cooking - especially the foie gras brulee, the foie appetizer and the lamb three ways from the Spring menu. I did not care for the chocolate desserts. They brought many amuses, which was quite generous.
I thought it a good value and the room is beautiful. As Glyn pointed out last night, all of us were able to have views of the restaurant (no views of wall) and the seating was comfy. We were not rushed through the meal and the sommelier was also helpful in finding good reasonably priced wines that complemented the food. The wines included a Gigondas and a St. Joseph. They decanted the red wine for us and let it breathe for over an hour while we ate amuses and apps.
I would advise getting a cheese course in lieu of dessert, although the Meyer Lemon tart was pretty good. I do not usually seek out beets but the beet salad was good and looked beautiful in its array of colors.
The professor is right - this is a different restaurant - much more ambitious and interesting - than it was before. San Francisco's loss is our gain.

Not much else to add, except that the second white we had, a Burgundy, was a very good wine at a good price. Odd to say this, but I thought the meal was a bit of a bargain all things considered. I loved, loved the uni soup. The oyster and scallop amuses were delicious as well. Also very much liked the foie gras terrine, the langoustine and the bits of confited lamb.
My dessert was awful, really off-putting. I did not love the bread, either.

their bread is from Balthazar...11 Mad Park has a very friendly corkage policy- me thinks $30.00 or 35.00 per with no attitude and good glassware.
I love the room.

Sorry for the above deleted comment! I had an error after I posted. Anywhoo, I love the spinner ideas and freebie! I happened to be in my local teacher's store and found them. 1 last box just waiting for me! Now I have some ideas of what to do with them. I hope other people are able to get them and share what they do with them as well.
Glad my whiteboards are magnetic! No Smartboard or doc camera, but I have magnetic whiteboards!
You know I am your biggest fan, right?ReplyDelete
Awesome! I love sight word practice games like this. The more exposure and practice, the better. I will have to be on a look-out for those big spinners. In the meantime, I'm thinking the little spinners I have in my classroom will work just as well. :)ReplyDelete

Hi all,
i've recently taken a new job, and part of my role is to look after the website, now for the most part it's fairly simple admin, apart from one problem i'm struggling to get my head around..
here's the situation:
we have products on a "mix and match" pricing structure, so we want to set up the following:
buy 10 x product "A" and receive a discount/tier
buy 5 x product "A" and 5 x product "B" and receive the same discount/tier
buy 3 x product "A", 3 x product "B" and 4 x product "C" and get the same discount, etc etc
(you get the idea, so long as they're buying lots of 10, we'll give them the same rate)
setting up the tier for an individual product is really simple, but applying the same discount across multiple products has got me scratching my head!
any help is much appreciated!!!

The Galician's dilemma
Today's the day that commemorates Galician literature, the "Día das Letras Galegas", so it's obviously time to write about more Galician weird stuff. This is something you'll encounter if you share a meal with Galicians.
Let's first set the scene: you are having lunch, or perhaps dinner, in Galicia, with Galicians. As Galicians are wont to do, multiple serving trays are brought to the table, and everybody takes from them whatever they'd like to eat. After a couple of hours, the table is full of serving trays, all of which have one morsel left. Around the table, many Galicians talk and joke, trying to appear nonchalant while they eye the left-over portions of food greedily, obviously wanting to eat them. Yet they never touch them.
This situation is called "a vergoña do galego", which can be translated literally as "the Galician's shame", but I think a better translation would be "the Galician's dilemma". It goes like this:
Initially, the serving trays are full of food, and they circulate around the table so everyone can take a portion commensurate to how hungry they are, how much they like that particular food, and now many other trays full of food they expect to see during the meal. At the end of the first round, anyone who wants seconds can just call for a tray and serve themselves. However, as the amount of food in each tray diminishes, a secondary consideration starts to take hold: "what if someone else wants this food too?" So, when they go for seconds, or thirds, people will usually serve themselves less food than they'd actually like, so that there's still enough for someone else who may want it.
This situation reaches its logical conclusion when there's only one portion left in the serving tray. At this point, the desire to eat the food is less powerful than the dread of depriving someone else from eating that morsel. As a result, multiple trays will be on the table, each one displaying a single morsel of food that somebody wants to eat and nobody dares to touch. This situation often reach ridiculous levels, where you could have trenchers with only one solitary slice of octopus, or dishes displaying one piece of raxo and one potato chip.
Galicians recognize and acknowledge this phenomenon, so they've developed some coping strategies. For example, at a restaurant, when a waiter needs to remove the serving trays, they'll just choose one of the diners and have a conversation like this:
"How did you like the octopus?"
"Ah, it was wonderful."
"So you won't mind finishing it up for me, I need to take the trencher away." (Removes last slice of octopus from trencher, puts it into Galician's plate, takes trencher away.)
At this point the dilemma is solved, because it was the waiter, not you, who put the food in your plate. What can you do about it? Nothing, of course. May as well just eat it.
Another solution to the dilemma involves having the presence of someone who is not Galician. Non-Galicians are exempted from the dilemma, and not only are they allowed to take the last morsel without fear of repercussion, they will actually be encouraged to.
"Ah, only one portion of empanada left!"
"Yes, this is the Galician's dilemma." (Explanation of the dilemma follows.)
"But you are not Galician, so it doesn't affect you, so just take it!"
Savvy non-Galicians may even just go ahead unprompted and cut the Gordian knot of the Galician dilemma:
"Is this the last prawn?"
"Yes, it is."
"Oh well, I'm not Galician, so..." (Takes it.)
Galicians being cognizant of the dilemma, they won't resent the person taking the last portion, and may even thank them for it.
When there are no non-Galicians around, the situation can require a bit of negotiation and diplomacy:
"So, why is there a Padrón pepper left?"
"The Galician's dilemma!"
"I know, but it needs to go."
"You can take it if you want it."
"Don't be absurd! It's clearly saying your name."
Etc., etc.
I got myself an address stamp
I got myself an address stamp.
It is fun to use.
It is indeed quite fun to use.
I think I may need to buy a new ink pad soon.

CFCA believes strongly in the creativity and talents of sponsored families and partners with families throughout the world to unlock their potential.
In Bogota, Colombia, every Friday, leaders from each parents group meet at the CFCA office to participate in a "livelihood projects" class to learn techniques on how to successfully develop their talents and skills into sources of income for their families.
CFCA staffers utilized a local government program focused in the development of professional formation programs.
The main goal is to bring business education to family members of sponsored friends, and have these individuals spread their knowledge to fellow parents in their group.
CFCA staffers have seen many changes in families thanks to this class. Parents have diversified their families' sources of income and also further developed their skills and talents.
The groups enjoy this class because the information reaches all the families, and it brings them hope to have a better life with their family.
Here's what a few of our graduates shared:
"Thanks to this class my family and I know that we have hope for a better life. I want to thank the sponsors of my three children, Daniel, Juan and Fabian. My wife is part of a mothers group and it brings us a lot of motivation to get ahead in life. I was the only man in this class, and I learned how to grow and understand different points of view."
"I loved the class because I learned how to manage my own business. I thank CFCA for all the support. My friend Maria and I have a business selling food, and we learned good skills to get ahead. At first I started my business alone, but now I work with my friend. Our goal is to teach other people and have more customers."
"My name is Maria, and I work with Dora selling food. I have two sponsored children and I liked the class because we learned to be more responsible and to think about the future of our business."
"We make handicrafts in my group. I am teaching the other mothers of my group about what we have learned in class. I feel good teaching the other mothers because they understand me and learn new ways to earn more income."
"I work sewing clothing, and I was invited to participate in this class. I was very interested and now I am so grateful because everything I have learned is important. Now I am more organized and my business is doing very well now. I thank CFCA because my children can have an education and my older son was able to graduate from the university. I thank God for bringing CFCA into my life."

Dathan Ritzenhein pulls out of Boston Marathon, citing lack of training because of groin injury
Former University of Colorado distance runner Dathan Ritzenhein withdrew from the Boston Marathon on Monday, saying a groin injury had kept him from training and preparing for the race.
"April 21st will be a show of strength and community after last year's events and I wanted so badly to be part of that," Ritzenhein said in a release from race organizers. "But I am resilient and will be back."
Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman will run in Ritzenhein's and Moses Mosop's place. Boulder-based runner Jason Hartmann, who has finished as the top American the last two years in fourth place each time, will also be racing in Boston on April 21.
Ritzenhein, who runs for the Portland, Ore.-based Nike Oregon Project, is coached by Alberto Salazar, winner of the 1980 New York City Marathon and former American record holder at 5,000 and 10,000 meters. He finished third in the 10,000 meters at the 2012 Olympic Trials to make his third Olympic team.
Another of Salazar's runners, Mary Cain, the 17-year-old Bronxville, N.Y., high school phenom who won the 1,500 at the U.S. Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., has pulled out of the IAAF World Indoor Track & Field Championships in Poland, citing a calf injury.

ESA's biggest scientific symposium gets underway
More than 1200 scientists from around the world have gathered in Bergen, Norway, for ESA's week-long Living Planet Symposium to present their latest findings on Earth's environment and climate using data from observation satellites.
Addressing the participants, the Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry Trond Giske underscored the importance of Earth observation saying that it is a priority for the Norwegian government and that space should be useful for society.
Deputy Mayor Trude Drevland of Bergen extended a warm welcome to the participants of ESA's largest ESA scientific symposium, which has been organised with the help of the Norwegian Space Centre and Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center.
The symposium was formally opened by ESA's Director of Earth Observation programmes, Volker Liebig. He stressed the importance of the programme, saying that ESA satellite archives, dating back to 1991, have delivered valuable data about our planet, increased our knowledge of Earth and improved our confidence in climate change predictions.
He commended the scientists at the symposium for using these data to identify and analyse long-term climatic trends and changes.
He also emphasised the Agency's continued commitment to meeting the growing demand for observation data as decision-makers are faced with responding to environmental change, natural disasters and civil security issues, and managing sustainable development.
"ESA is responding to the ever-growing demand for Earth observation data with new missions and simplified access to our data archives," said Prof. Liebig.
In this context, he announced that the new ESA Data Policy has been ratified, which guarantees free and open access to the majority of data from the Agency's missions.
Following the opening, four key scientists involved with ESA's recently launched Earth Explorer satellites – GOCE, SMOS and CryoSat – gave an overview of the missions and their in-orbit status.
While the unveiling of these new datasets will be a highlight of the week, so will the continuing achievements of ESA's ERS and, in particular, Envisat satellites.
Dr Johnny Johannessen of Norway's Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center provided an overview of ERS and Envisat.
"Twenty years of regular monitoring with ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat has provided an excellent and powerful satellite database for multidisciplinary studies of the Earth system, including the ocean, cryosphere, atmosphere, land, biosphere and the solid Earth," Dr Johannessen said.
"By using these data, discoveries and scientific understandings have helped to remove knowledge gaps. The routine collection and availability of the data have also founded and inspired the emergence of a broad range of operational surveillance and applications."
The symposium promises to be an exciting and informative week, with in-depth sessions devoted to new aspects of observing Earth from space. For example, ESA's Climate Change Initiative, which aims to build long-term datasets of 'Essential Climate Variables' to help predict future climate change, will be presented.
The symposium will also highlight progress made in the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security initiative and the families of Sentinel missions that ESA is developing specifically for the programme.
