Makeup artist's family seeks records in Jenni Rivera air crash
CHICAGO (AP) — The family of a makeup artist killed in a plane crash that also claimed the life of singer Jenni Rivera is trying to force the aircraft's manufacturer to identify all those who had owned, operated and repaired the Learjet 25.
Rivera's makeup artist, Jacob Yebale, was among the seven people killed when the aircraft crashed Dec. 9 in northern Mexico.
Yebale's family filed a request this week in an Illinois court to compel Bombardier Aerospace and its Learjet division to turn over information on the aircraft's history, including the names of all those who owned, operated and performed maintenance on the plane.
The petition for discovery was filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois because Bombardier does a substantial amount of business in the state.

"Who are you?" My daughter had been parading through the house with just about every piece of plastic jewelry she could find in her toy chest on her person along with parts of two or three different princess costumes. Oh, and sunglasses. "I'm a princess," she responded and began to tell me her own little tale about the world she lived in. It was fascinating to just watch her play.
It reminds me of another story, this one not so pleasant, about a young man who was having a hard time with life. His parents divorced when he was a child, he took up drugs and alcohol and had taken a job as DJ at an old bar. His story began like everyone else who comes into this world, but quickly took its own path somewhere along the way, and he began asking the questions we all eventually ask: "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" Not finding any answers, depression overcame his will to live and he took his own life.
Even for Christians, this question is hard for many to answer. Ask anyone on the street, "Who are you?" and if they aren't feeling to suspicious of your motives you may get their name, but the name of a person is not who they are. My name is John Bagwell, but who is John Bagwell, and why is he here on this earth? Stop and think about it for a moment before continuing on, for the question of "Who are you?" is not one of asking your name, but your identity.
You see, your identity is not just who you are, it also gives you purpose and context in life. Walk up on a car accident and you will see all kinds of people with identities. A policeman, an EMT, a wrecker driver . . . and they all are doing something. They are not haphazard about what they are doing either. It is an orchestra of motion, each person with their identity doing their job according to their identity and the context of the situation. Then there are also the bystanders. "Who are you?" "What is your purpose here?"
The bystanders have no identity here, they have no purpose here, and so they stand around and do nothing. So many people in life are still searching for their identity. For many who do not find it, they ultimately end up standing around, doing nothing while life passes them by. They do not know who they are, so they have no purpose and life for them is meaningless.
If you are a Christian, allow me to help you just a little bit on the path of identity, for who you are now is not who you were. Romans 6:6 "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, . . ." (You may also see Ephesians 4:22 and Colossians 3:9). Too many Christians today are trying to walk around with two identities. They have their old identity as a sinner, but have failed to let the dead weight fall as someone who has been born again. They have a new heart, but still carry the old identity, and so they do not know who they are.
To discover your identity as a Christian, let's take a look at another few verses from the Bible. Try reading just Ephesians 6: 14 - 17 and see if a picture does not develop. There we read of different types of armor for the body, a helmet, a sword, and a shield. Who operates this type of equipment? Get the picture?
As Christians, we are soldiers bred for battle, but not a war of flesh and blood. It is a warfare fought in the minds and hearts of men, and evil fears who you are and what you are capable of doing, for within you dwells the presence and power of the Almighty. "Who are you?" Well, what is that in your hand? You have a sword and a shield and armor to fight, so stop standing on the sidelines and become engaged in the battle before you so that at the end of this life on earth you may say, 2Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:"
As a Christian and a parent, I wish to both protect my children from the dangers of the world while at the same time educating them about the problems they will face in life. Sometimes this comes by way of learning experiences when things happen to them, and other times it comes by way of an event they happen to witness. Then there are those teachable moments when something happens outside of their perception, and you actually bring it to the attention of your child so they can see and understand. Such was the case when I read an article yesterday.
I want my children to be aware of bullying, how and why it happens, and to be able to defend both themselves and others from the practice of bullying by others. However, when I read the article yesterday, it kind of set the whole thing of bullying and intolerance in its proper perspective. You can read the article here: "Anti-Bully Speaker Bullies Christians"
When you read the article, what strikes me most is that Dan Savage, the speaker invited to address specifically the topic of bullying, is a known homosexual, yet many Christians still went to hear him speak - not to judge him, hold up signs, heckle or protest, but to listen with an open mind. They certainly didn't go there to be bullied. The audience? Teenagers. Not a group of adults, but kids. What happened next is all too typical of what happens by the same people who call Christians intolerant.
Dan Savage chose this moment to address his personal views about Christianity rather than talk about what he was actually there for. Instead of talking about bullying, he cursed, name called, and generally bullied anyone in the audience who was a Christian. Exactly what he was there to speak against, he began to do. The Christian response? They got up to simply walk away. They did not scream, yell, protest, or anything. They quietly rose up and walked out. Dan Savage's response? He name calls and bullies them even more. Typical.
How does he justify this behavior? He makes a claim leveled by many by saying "there are people using the Bible as an excuse for gay bullying, because it says in Leviticus and Romans that being gay is wrong." This is wrong on two counts. First, there are not "many people" doing anything even remotely like "gay bullying" and there is not one single account I have heard of where someone specifically used the Bible as their justification for bullying gays. The Bible does say homosexuality is wrong, but as soon as some idiot bully happens to bully someone who is gay, it is people like Savage that assume the context must be the person was using the Bible condemnation of homosexuality as the cause of the gay bullying. Again, typical.
Savage is but the tip of the ice-burg. The situation in that moment all too clear. Christians, when bullied, are expected to remain silent and are expected to take it, while if the same speech had been given anywhere in the nation by any Christian leader, that Christian speaker would have been labeled a "hate-monger" and accused of inciting "hate-crimes" against gays. Savage is a hypocrite, and a bully. Savage is also just one of many who persecute Christianity and Christians in general for no other reason than that they are Christian. They like to lift their own banner of "free speech" while conveniently labeling any dissent "hate-speech not covered under free speech", and seek to remove the freedom of religion.
It is one more example I am going to use to educate my daughters about what they will face as a Christian. It is a lesson about intolerant people claiming Christians are intolerant, bullying by those who claim to help the bullied, and hypocrisy from the same people who point the finger at others claiming they are hypocrites. Dan Savage, as is the case with those who hate and do not understand Christianity, is simply ignorant. My task in educating my children will be to teach them how to deal with that ignorance, intolerance and oppression, simply because they are Christians.
Some few months ago, my wife started talking about this book she was reading called "The Hunger Games". I asked her to give me the basic plot outline, and during the telling she mentioned the books were quite controversial because of the violence. Then about a month ago there was a lot of talk about the movie "Bully". There was a lot of controversy over the nature of the movie, again, because of the violence, and there were a lot of people wondering if kids should be allowed to see either movie.
My wife and I talked about the controversy, and she made a good point in that it was not the violent acts everyone was complaining about, but the rather that the violence was being perpetrated by teens. Two weeks prior to this conversation, I went to watch the movie John Carter and in that movie, the lead character beheads one of the aliens and everyone cheers. In Star Wars - Attack of the Clones, a Jedi knight beheads Jango Fett in front of his son Boba. Never a word from the media about any controversy there. While we are not allowed to see the actual beheading take place in either movie, there is a dramatic thud as the head of the character visibly hits the ground after their respective confrontations.
In the world we live in today, violence is everywhere for teens to view, but there is no outcry. They are saturated with it in movies, video games, and all other forms of entertainment, but there is a sense that "it's just entertainment" and that "kids understand the difference." I'm not one to disagree on the face of it, but there is another side of me that says all this has to be having some effect on how kids and teenagers perceive their world. Or is it a reflection of how far we have already come?
In one of the more recent news reports regarding the movie "Bully", it showed a small handful of teenagers who were allowed to view a small portion of the movie and give their opinions. Their response to the movie? "That's how it is with teenagers in school today." My response: "Yeah, that's pretty much how I remember it, too."
I remember seeing a gang of guys in high school jump one single guy and nearly beat him to death because he insulted the girlfriend of one of the other guys. I've seen fistfights that left some kids in pools of blood while the offender got a week off from school and maybe a week or two of in-school suspension. I also remember quite clearly being involved in such brawls myself, sometimes managing to put up a good fight, and other times not so much. I've heard every cuss word, insult, and degrading remark hurled between teenagers both male and female. What's more, as a teacher in a private school for a short time, I've been witness to some of the same things. The reaction of parents to these reports? "Not my kid" and "It couldn't have been as bad as they're making it sound" and "I didn't raise my child to behave that way."
This leads me to my conclusion. The uproar over the violence in movies among teens is misdirected. The movies, I believe, are simply showing us a reflection of the society we have become. Violence among teens exists in all its ugly forms. So why is it that there is such an outcry against the movies? Again, my opinion, but I think it has to do with where the responsibility really lies. If the violence is in the movies, it is easy to finger point there, but when it exists in the real world, the finger has to be pointed at the parents.
I'd encourage any parent to go see "The Hunger Games" and "Bully" with their child/children and have the hard conversations about violence among teens afterward. I'd also encourage parents to be more attentive when your kid talks about violence in school in any form, and equally aware of when someone says something is going on with your child acting a certain way and not jump to the "My kid is an angel" or "My kid would never . . ." routine.
Biblically speaking, all the passages about "turn the other cheek" and those that speak against violence are not to be taken out of context (though if you will scroll down to the comments section you will have glaring examples of such). The Biblical principle of non-violence is one that teaches Christians not to fan the flames of an already hostile or tense situation. We are to seek peaceful alternatives whenever possible, yet we are not supposed to just allow ourselves to be kicked around either. When possible, we are allowed to legally defend ourselves within the limits of the law - including the use of deadly force - but again, I would say only after all other peaceful alternatives have been exhausted.
The key to teaching your children about violence is that it is not OK to be violent, but that to prevent violence it is sometimes necessary to employ force in a violent fashion, such as in the defense of others or in defense of yourself. I think Katniss Everdeen was a good example of this type of character in The Hunger Games. That is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
A few weeks ago I read an article on Fox News. You can read the entire article here: INSIDERS. In the article, they ask the question "But could all the Tinseltown-type attention jeopardize his game and wholesome Christian image?1"
Reposted from: MenRising
Rewind years ago when the nation didn't really know who Tim Tebow even was. As an Alabama fan and a Christian (yes you Auburn fans, it IS possible!!), my first gut reaction to his public displays of faith were to shrug them off as meaningless. How many times have I seen players kneel in the end-zone, point to heaven, thank God on TV, or make some other overt display of faith on the field only to be caught up later in some drug or immoral scandal later? I thought he was a fake. First impressions can be hard to shake.
As Tim Tebow grew into the role though, I began to pay attention more. I read about his background as a home-schooled kid and missionary kid. As a former missionary to China, I know how tough life can be on missionary kids, and now that we live in the states and home-school our two daughters, we see how the homeschooling movement is just now starting to be accepted even in largely conservative circles. I can only imagine that it must have been tough for him growing up, and here he was experiencing success on levels most people will only dream of, and how does it affect him? It doesn't even seem to register. Nothing changes. Tim Tebow is still the same person, and that is when I became interested.
I watched his last year in college with great fascination and wonder at the unprovoked hate that came from people who did not even know him and from the liberal media, and I found myself in the awkward position of rooting for him even though he played against Alabama. I wanted Tim Tebow to win, but for Florida to lose. It was an interesting year. Then came graduation, and I assumed we'd heard the last from Tim Tebow.
Then came his chance to shine yet again. After a losing start to the 2011 season, Tim Tebow was put in to replace Kyle Orton at halftime and quarterbacked the Denver Broncos on a wild ride taking them almost to victory against a 16 point deficit. The rest of his season, as they say, is history but nothing short of inspiring. The whole time, the media kept touting his style as awkward and that he'd never find real success, yet he kept winning. His win streak was only broken by the New England Patriots weeks later, and again the Patriots handed him the defeat that would take his team out of the playoffs.
What was Tim Tebow's reaction to all this? He was still Tim Tebow. Nothing had changed. Meanwhile, the rest of the nation had heard about him by now, and they couldn't seem to make up their minds about him. Was he a good football player or not? Was his Christianity real or not? Who is this guy really? And why does he have to keep making public displays of his Christianity?
Let me at least answer the last question for everyone. The reason he keeps making public displays of his Christianity is simple: he is a Christian. Would that all Christians had his courage. Then comes this article and I think to myself, "Hollywood just doesn't get it". Maybe the nation at large just doesn't get it. Now, I've never met Tim Tebow, and I'm not his best friend or have any close relationships, but I've seen him enough over the years to realize one thing: Tim Tebow is legit.
As for the worryings of the media over how Hollywood will affect him, all I have to say is "Hollywood, Tim Tebow is not your type." While Tim Tebow is only human and prone to failings and mistakes just like the rest of us, I tend to think he'll take the world on the same way he always has - by just being himself. If he'll do that, then we'll never hear of a drug or immoral scandal unless one is manufactured, and we'll never even have to wonder if Tinseltown will ever jeopardize his Christian image.
He's a great example of a Christian man simply being a Christian man. Maybe the real question isn't why the world thinks he's so odd, but rather why, in the public Christian community, his consistent example as a Christan man is so rare.
Today, I am going to be taking my two daughters to an annual church activity whereby they place little plastic eggs on the ground filled with candy. Some of these eggs will be hidden, most not so much. Then my daughters, along with a bunch of other children, will be let loose to go find these eggs. It will be a great time, full of smiles and children laughing. Sunday morning, they will have a special basket to go through which their mother will have prepared ahead of time. It will also have little candies, treats, and toys in it for them to go through before we head off to church that morning. It is a celebration of Easter, and quite frankly it has little to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Let me be clear on one thing. Easter, in fact, was a pagan holiday. First Fruits, is a Christian Holy Day. These two days are separate with the Christian Holy Day of First Fruits being established long before Easter was ever even a word. "The theme of the festival of First Fruits is resurrection and salvation." according to the Jewish Holy Day of Bikkurim. It was one of several Feast Days / Holy Days in the Jewish calendar.
This Holy Day saw several important events, Biblically speaking, that established the theme of resurrection and salvation before Christ died and rose again. Those events include the resting of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat signaling the end of God's judgement on the earth by flood, and the rebirth / new beginning of mankind, as well as the crossing of the Red Sea by Israel when they escaped out of Egypt, and other events.
Study Jewish Holy Days for some time and you will quickly realize they were not only celebrations of events past, but predictors of events to come. The Holy Day of First Fruits was a foretelling of the resurrection of Jesus Christ - the most important event in Biblical history. Without the resurrection, we have a story of a man who lived an incredible life that died, however, the story of Jesus Christ - God in the flesh - doesn't end with a tomb. Jesus rose again the third day (for those of you who do not quite understand the Jewish timing of events, see this page here "How Long was Jesus Dead in the Tomb?").
Point is, Easter and First Fruits happen to fall on the same day. Which do we celebrate? Well, we celebrate the Holy Day of First Fruits actually (I Corinthians 15:23), but the means in which we celebrate it in American culture is much the same as Easter. Is it wrong? Nope. There is nothing wrong with allowing your children to have fun, even if it happens to resemble some pagan holiday. Why? Because if you are like me, you are educating your children about the true meaning of this most important season of great celebration, about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
What's more, if I were to suddenly not have anything to do with any and all pagan holidays, I'd pretty much set myself up so that anyone could declare Thanksgiving, Labor Day, July 4th, or any holiday "pagan" and I'd then be expected to have no part simply because of someone else's pronouncements. That is absurd and ridiculous, and I refuse to allow myself to be sucked into someone else's expectations of what I should or should not do. As a Christian, I only need ask myself "What does the Bible say about Easter?" Quite simply, the Bible verifies that the resurrection happened on the day of that recently established pagan holiday - nothing more. It does not condemn Easter, it does not rail against Easter, it does not give a hate speech about Easter, it simply mentions it and moves on.
As that is the attitude of the Bible about Easter, then that is the attitude I am going to choose to take. In the mean time, my girls will still be going out to collect eggs filled with candy, have baskets to dig into on Sunday morning, and they will learn of the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For without the resurrection, there would be no hope of salvation. The resurrection of Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. Far more important than His birth, His life, or His death, we have hope because Jesus lives!
"1Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain."

Steen scores in OT in Blues' 4-3 win over Red Wings
DETROIT – After 20 minutes of play Wednesday night at Joe Louis Arena it looked as if the Detroit Red Wings would skate away with their fourth straight win.
Things changed from that point on.
St. Louis scored shorthanded, on the power play, even strength and then 52 seconds into overtime to snap the Wings' streak, 4-3.
"I don't know if we took our foot off the gas, but we got away from the way we want to play," Drew Miller said. "They're a team that doesn't give up a lot of shots most nights. Their D and their forwards blocked a lot of shots that never found their way to the net."
After getting off 11 shots on rookie goalie Jake Allen in the first period, Detroit had just seven more the rest of the way, one each in the third period and overtime.
"We kind of peppered him at first and got some goals, then we didn't get a lot of shots after that," Miller said. "You have to credit their D and their forwards for blocking a lot of shots."
Allen finished with 15 saves.
Alexander Steen got the game winner in OT for the Blues, who were 0-4-1 in their last five coming in after beginning the seaon 6-1-0. Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Tarasenko and Chris Stewart also scored.
Tomas Tatar, Miller and Pavel Datsyuk scored for the Wings. Jimmy Howard made 21 saves.
The Wings' only shot in the third period was off the stick of Justin Abdelkader with 1:42 left to play. Continued...
"You don't do that to Detroit often," St. Louis forward David Backes said of limiting the Wings to one shot in the third period. "That's a badge of honor."
Detroit also had two power play chances in the third.
"I just think we made some smart choices," Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said. "We knew we were the road team in a 3-3 tie. Get it into their zone and get it out of ours. Our penalty kill did a great job."
"I didn't tell 'em not to shoot," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I think we had lots off opportunity to get the puck to the net, I think you've got to give them credit. When they're playing well, they don't give up a lot of shots. I don't know how many shots they got, I don't think they got a ton either. But the reality is we weren't good enough. I thought we turned over too many pucks and we didn't play good enough. The other thing is as a coach, I could have played more guys. And probably should have because in the end, we didn't get the result we wanted."
After Damien Brunner had a nice chance early in OT for the Wings, the Blues' Barret Jackson picked up a puck along the boards and deflected a shot off Howard's shoulder. Steen got on the rebound and banged the bouncing puck past Howard.
"The part for me that was tough is the penalty kill goal we give up when we're trying to score, not even off a clean play and we get caught and then the line change goal, those things, I mean, those are crazy, crazy, crazy plays," Babcock said. "It's real simple here. We have to play with great competition level and great structure and attention to detail. We had it going and we came off it big-time in the second period, stopped putting pucks in and turning them over. Then we wind up getting one point instead of two points. It's disappointing but it's also the road we're on. Until we figure out for sure how we gotta play and for how long, you're not going to win on enough occasions."
The Wings caught a break on the first goal just two minutes into the first period when Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo tried to backhand the puck to the end boards, but it went right onto the stick of Tatar.
The rookie forward had all day in front of Allen, going backhand, to forehand and back to backhand to lift it past the Blues goalie on the Wings' first shot of the game.
The goal was Tatar's second of his career. His other goal came on Dec. 31, 2010.
Less than six minutes later, Miller combined with Jordin Tootoo on a nice give-and-go with Miller finishing things, jamming his original shot that trickled past Allen over the goal line. Continued...
St. Louis got a goal back scoring shorthanded when Berglund one-timed a pass from T.J. Oshie on a 2-on-1. Brunner couldn't hold the puck in at the blue line and it led to the odd-man rush.
It was Detroit's league-high third shorthanded goal allowed.
And just like Sunday, the second period was dominated by the away team and the Blues left after with a one-goal lead.
Tarasenko scored on the power play and then less than two minutes later Stewart got behind the Wings defense – Jakub Kindl and Jonathan Ericsson – for the breakaway goal.
"It was probably our best first period of the whole year and then they took over completely in the second period," Zetterberg said. "It wasn't good. They really took over totally. We stopped the forecheck, we made some dumb mistakes, we gave them the puck and we didn't win the 50-50 battles."
Datsyuk put the momentum back in the Wings' favor, banking a shot off Allen from behind the goal line to tie the game at 3-3 just past the midway point of the period.
"Anytime you can get up early, you have to be careful with that lead, especially now with power plays and all of that," Patrick Eaves said. "So they came back and went up by one. Then we showed some character and got back into it. But that (winning goal) was kind of a bouncer in overtime. But that kind of stuff happens."
This was the fourth meeting of the season between the teams. They meet one more time, April 7 in Detroit.

JONESVILLE — There were indications Wednesday night that a breakthrough has been made in the unsolved murder of former Mount Airy police officer Greg Martin.
Friday marks the 16th anniversary of Martin's fatal shooting along Interstate 77 while he was serving as a sergeant with the Jonesville Police Department.
But the cold case that has eluded federal, state and local authorities since Oct. 5, 1996, could now be resolved, although Jonesville Police Chief Roger Reece declined to confirm that an arrest had been made when contacted Wednesday night.
Reece said a news release would be forthcoming later that night, repeatedly refusing to disclose any details until then.
However, the prospect of a breakthrough was hailed as good news by Mount Airy Police Chief Dale Watson.
"We're very happy with the turn that this case has made," Watson said.
"The loss of the officer has saddened our community and department," the Mount Airy police chief added Wednesday night.
Martin, 30, was a member of the city police force from Aug. 5, 1991, to July 19, 1992, before joining the Jonesville Police Department.
He was shot multiple times on the side of Interstate 77 in Yadkin County, just south of Jonesville, during a traffic stop. Martin's duty weapon was found in his holster, indicating he did not have an opportunity to defend himself. He left a wife and young children behind.
After the shooting, the suspect(s) dumped a truck stolen from a dealership in Princeton, W.Va., and took a van from a business in Elkin, according to the FBI.
The van later was found abandoned in a Home Depot parking lot in Gastonia. FBI agents at the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico, Va., determined the suspect(s) had ties to one of those areas.
Reece, the Jonesville police chief, had told The Mount Airy News in May 2011 that "I'm confident there's someone who knows something about who killed Greg, other than the shooter."
At least $130,000 in reward money, including $100,000 from the FBI, had been offered for information leading to an arrest, according to previous reports.

Listen to any leading voice on this issue, and you're likely to hear that term repeatedly.
President Obama used it to describe the steps he's calling for, including universal background checks for gun owners and legislation prohibiting "further manufacture of military-style assault weapons."
The NRA, meanwhile, announced in December that LaPierre would offer "common sense solutions." He then pushed for armed guards in American schools. Many Americans were angry and argued that was the opposite of common sense. The NRA later said it believes each school should decide for itself.
Former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, have begun a political action committee to take on the gun lobby's influence. In an op-ed in USA Today, they said LaPierre's initial remarks showed that "winning even the most common-sense reforms will require a fight."
Wilson says the term seems to be playing well for those pushing for new gun regulations. "It makes people say, 'these are common-sense ideas,' " he says.
'Assault weapons'
But what exactly are those ideas? When it comes to the most controversial one being discussed -- banning "assault weapons" -- it's unclear. That's because the term itself is abstract. There is no clear definition of an "assault weapon."
The 10-year so-called assault weapons ban enacted in 1994 named 19 semiautomatic firearms, as well as semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns with specific features.
"In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use," the Justice Department said at the time.
That may be the closest thing to a simple explanation the government ever gave, but if you want to see how incredibly complicated the official definition is in the law itself, check out the language.

Lincolnwood man lends a hand in NYC after Sandy hits
Mitchell Collens, 24, of Lincolnwood helped distribute food and supplies last week to residents affected by severe weather in lower Manhattan. This is what his hands looked like after unloading trucks. | contributed photo
Article Extras
Updated: January 7, 2013 1:44AM
LINCOLNWOOD — A Lincolnwood resident's recent jaunt to New York City to visit family and friends evolved into an opportunity to help strangers stranded by the wrath of weather.
After spending four days touring the Big Apple, Mitchell Collens, 24, was scheduled to fly back to Chicago the morning of Oct. 29.
Superstorm Sandy had other plans. He hunkered down in a Midtown Manhattan hotel room when the storm hit the East Coast.
The tropical storm system left an imprint on 24 U.S. states. Power outages, flooding and, in some areas, rampant fire caused New Jersey and New York to issue states of emergency.
Despite a beating from strong winds New York City's largest central business district was virtually intact. But south of 42nd street, where the power went out, was a different story, Collens reported.
Police were stationed at nearly every intersection directing worse-than-usual traffic.
Underground subways were flooded and buses overflowed with passengers. Taxi drivers slept in cabs while waiting up to nine hours to fill gas tanks, Collens said.
"After the storm it was like two different cities out there," he said.
With the streets dark people followed the city's lights north.
"The hotel situation out there was crazy," said Collens, whose sister, Jackie, works in the luxury hotel industry.
"Everyone wanted a room," he said.
Collens had the option to skip town two days after the storm hit — but there was something he wanted to do first.
"I thought, I'm not going to sit up here and dilly-dally around when there's something I could do to help," he said. "I had my walking shoes and I was ready to go."
Collens pound the pavement to see how he could help the city get back on its feet. On the street he asked police officers for advice of where to go and was pointed in the direction of the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
For two and half miles he walked, passing shuttered restaurants and businesses along the way. Every now and then he encountered spontaneous charging stations, where people rebooted cell phones and laptops from 30 power cords plugged into a generator.
Collens eventually reached an area where the electrical and water utilities weren't operating. For drinkable water residents turned to filling buckets with water collected from an open hydrant up multiple flights of stairs, he said.
Collens spotted a semi-trailer truck with "Operation Blessing" painted on its side and asked what he could do.
"Start grabbing some stuff," was the reply.
For six hours he and a fellow Samaritan from Amsterdam unloaded boxes of water and food. Dozens of others pitched in too, and distributed the supplies from a nearby playground.
"Everybody was so thankful and just happy people were there to help," Collens said. "Overall it felt good."
Collens flew home Nov. 3. And while Collens is modest about his personal contribution to the relief efforts — he noted he was just lending a hand — he saidit's volunteer work he would do again if the situation arose.
"But hopefully it (would be) nowhere close to home," he said.

SOURCE: Don Zeck Lens Cap
Ordering a lens cap is now a snap at http://www.donzecklenscap.com, a brand new website. Finally, a practical and highly effective cap for high end telephoto lenses. Why didn't Canon® and Nikon® think of this first?
Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) November 26, 2012
Providing the ultimate lens cap protection, photographer Don Zeck has designed an exceptionally effective lens cap for Canon® and Nikon® high end lenses that offer matchless protection from scratches, dust, rain, and other hazards. This Patented cap is engineered for all climates and conditions. Click this link for product details http://www.donzecklenscap.com/lens-cap-details/
Zeck's caps continue to maintain the same high quality and attention to detail that has been the hallmark of the original caps since 2006. New production facilities have raised the bar for fit and finish. The caps are machined from rugged black polypropylene and equipped with "O" rings that will not mark or damage the lens. Nothing touches the lens optics and the thick design will protect against damage to any front element. As always, they are made in the U.S.A.
For a quick Video Demonstration of how the lens cap works click on the home page http://www.donzecklenscap.com.
Andrew recently purchased his new lens cap and had this to say about it, "Just bought a lens cap for my new Nikon 200-400. Excellent fit and a great way to protect my new lens. Easy on and off. Too bad Canon and Nikon don't provide one of these with every big lens. Don't risk damage to expensive big glass."
Canon® EF IS I or II USM caps are available in the following sizes:
200mm F2, 300mm F2.8, 400mm F4 DO, 400mm F2.8, 500mm F4, 600mm F4, 800mm F5.6.
Canon® EF NON IS caps are available in the following sizes:
200mm F1.8, 500mm F4.5, 300mm F2.8, 400mm F2.8, 600mm F4.

"I've scratched my head why Canon doesn't have a real lens cap for their large telephoto glass. The bonnet that comes with it must be a hold-over from the '50's. This solution does everything the Zeck's claim." Zeph
Zeck is an inventor and photographer who is currently working on his next invention for digital SLR cameras that capture HD Video.
The lens cap comes with a 30 day money back guarantee as well as a lifetime warranty for materials and workmanship. Domestic shipping is free. The caps are available at Don's web site at http://www.donzecklenscap.com. The caps sell for $59.95 each.

Apple extends lead over Samsung in U.S. smartphones
Maybe it's time to hold off on the Apple negativity.
The iPhone franchise captured 39 percent of the U.S. smartphone market in the first quarter, extending its lead over Samsung, which garnered 21.7 percent of the market, according to research firm ComScore.
Interestingly, Apple's iOS took market share away from Google's Android, which traditionally has seen more rapid growth.
Apple saw its smartphone market share rise by nearly 3 percentage points in the quarter, while Samsung's share inched up slightly. The next three largest handset vendor, HTC, Motorola, and LG, all lost market share … Read more

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.
And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*

Just some thoughts about Java.
OpenJDK7 are now THE Java implementation and Oracles are just one more of the reimplementations. So you should not need to install Oracles version.
And you really don't need to remove the OpenJDK7 installation to also have Sun Java JDK 7. Just run
sudo update-java-alternatives –list
and select which java you want to have as default java of all that is installed.
And if you want to run a program with one special version, check manpage for java-wrappers how to do that.
man java-wrappers
so you can run java program rasterizer like this:
JAVA_FLAVOR=openjdk rasterizer
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx80m rasterizer
Yes, it is. If you are a "5 years old schizophrenic kid" who can't restrict what effects to use and what to not use. It's actually usefull, if you can restrain yourself.
Agree with BA. You should teach how to remove telnetd from your servers, and tell them to use SSH instead.
And explain that telnet is not secured. It's easy for anyone to see what you type in clear text or MIM-attacks.
Or you might want to add a kerberos version of telnetd and se to it that it denies any try without kerberos authorization.
The tool telnet is usefull, for example to explain how SMTP protocoll or HTTP-protocoll works by making the user be the client (mail client or web client).
But you do not need to install telnetd for that.
Can you resolve that name on your machine?
$ getent hosts server.example.com
192.168.0.10 server.example.com
Where this should be your IP-address and then all aliases for that machine (where you obviously change DNS name to your own. ;-)

We've got a new staple food. One that often acts as an accompaniment to breakfast tea, or as a snack at work, or a dessert after dinner, or all of the above. It has earned an almost permanent nook in Paloma's lunch box and a thumbs-up from all the friends who've tried it. Needles to say, our new staple tastes good. Delicious and satisfying, to be exact.
The recipe is adapted from Living Raw Food. It yields moist, chewy, and nourishing fig bars that, dare I say, taste better than any Fig Newton I've tried.
Now, here's a cooking mystery that I've been trying to solve. The original fig bar recipe calls for coconut oil in the "dough" part instead of the almond butter that I used in my adapted version. I've tried to use coconut oil, but it immediately went rancid in the dehydrator. I didn't give up easily and tried to use different brands of coconut oil, but the result was always the same - rancid. I'm puzzled - it never happens when I use coconut oil in other recipes that require dehydration. If you happen to know the reason, please let me know. I'm truly curious.
8 cups sprouted oat flour
2 cups maple syrup powder
1 cup raw almond butter OR raw cacao butter
1 cup date paste
1/4 cup vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon purified water
In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Add the almond butter and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, mix the date paste, vanilla extract, and water. Add to the dry mixture and combine well.
6 cups fig paste (see below)
1/2 cup raw agave syrup
To make fig paste, soak any kind of dried figs for 8 hours. Then blend in a food processor, adding the soaking water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency. Keep refrigerated in an air tight container.
In order to form the bars, you will need two trays that fit in the bottom of your dehydrator. We use half-sheet pans that can be found at any restaurant supply store.
Line the two pans with parchment paper. Divide the dough equally between them and press into the pans to achieve a uniform thickness. Using a knife, cut the dough in one of the pans into 4 even parts. Place that pan into the freezer for about 10 minutes, so that it becomes more firm for easier handling.
Meanwhile, mix the fig paste with the 1/2 cup of agave, and evenly spread this mixture on top of the uncut dough in the second pan. Remove the first pan from the freezer and carefully place each quadrant on top of the fig paste layer.

Should you go to work when you're sick?
So there you are. Sick. You've valiantly tried to fend it off but finally succumbed to all the symptoms promoted on the TV cold/flu commercials, and now you're down. Or at least you should be.
But there's a looming deadline at work, you're overwhelmed with projects, pressures from the boss. Sick leave is exhausted, and you can't miss a day's pay, so you soldier on, incurring fear and loathing from co-workers who treat you like you have a contagious disease -- which, just so happens, you do.
And the great debate rages on: Do you go to work sick or stay home?
"Stay home, " said Dr. Steve O'Brien, vice president of medical affairs at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland. "Nobody wants a sick person coming into the office. Think about it. You know you don't like it when someone comes in sniffling and coughing all over the place. So don't do that to them."
Seems like common sense for the common cold and flu season -- after all, who wouldn't prefer to stay home, slurp some soup and catch up on daytime TV? But in this economy, it's often a rare luxury, and the health of one's bank account sometimes comes first and people force themselves to the office. There's even a newly coined word for it: presenteeism. (The opposite of absenteeism.)
Joseph Siti, a woodworker in Berkeley, has been sick with the flu at least four times this year but has to go into his shop to meet deadlines. "I own my own business, so if I stop, I don't make any money, and I don't know when the next job is coming in."
Even during the 2009 H1N1 crisis, when the Centers for Disease Control told people with flulike symptoms to stay home, more than 8 million struggled to work sick between September and November that year, according to a report from the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
"If a person doesn't have interaction with other people, you can go to work, " said Amy Nichols, director of hospital epidemiology and infection control at UCSF Medical Center. "But if you are symptomatic and working with the public and sharing surfaces or handling things other people will handle, stay home. Definitely if you have a fever or feel hot/cold with chills, stay home at least 24 hours after the fever is gone.
"I don't care what your job is, the world will not stop if you don't go to work, " she said. "It's critical for contagion control, to avoid the domino effect."
Tanya Tomassini, a project controller for an IT company in San Ramon, knows all about those dominoes. She was to fly out on a trip to Europe the day before Thanksgiving, but a few days before that, a couple of co-workers came into the office -- very sick co-workers. She tried to avoid them like the plague, but to no avail. Continued...
"I ended up with one of the worst flu bugs imaginable, " Tomassini said. "I had to change my nonrefundable flights, which cost me $400, and I was too sick to even spend Thanksgiving with my family. Long story short, if you're sick, stay home!" she said. "You don't realize how much you can affect someone unintentionally."
Businesses want you to stay away, too, if you're truly ill.
Michelle Mendoza, owner of Connect HR, a human resources consulting firm in San Jose, admits it's a tough subject.
"Here in Silicon Valley, there's that passion of wanting to work all the time, but if you stay home one or two days, you get better faster instead of having it drag out for a couple of weeks."
Generally, most companies have some type of sick leave policy or PTO (paid time off) available, she said. "From an employer's standpoint, there's a big incentive to give workers time to get better faster. Many provide on-site flu shots or incentives for workers to get shots at the drugstore. It costs the employer money, but it's less costly than having multiple people out sick. Or working sick and losing productivity."
Indeed, a report by researchers at Cornell University found that ill workers on the job could account for up to 60-percent of corporate health costs.
"Your level of productivity drops significantly when you're under the weather, said physician and radio personality Dr. Dean Edell. "There was a study showing that driving ability is impaired when you have the flu, to the equivalent of having a couple of drinks. So imagine how that affects your efficiency at work if you're foggy-headed, taking any cold or flu medications that impair cognition."
The best thing you can do to keep from spreading disease -- or getting it -- is wash your hands and keep work surfaces clean, said Bay Area health and fitness expert Joanie Greggains. "Avoid close contact with others, especially those who might easily get the flu such as people with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma or heart disease, pregnant women, young children and infants."
Oh, and stay home.
"You're going to get much better much faster, " O'Brien said. "Do it for your co-workers, but do it for yourself, too."
