One year ago, I made my first short movie in after effect and converted it directly to blu-ray. But the problem now is that I want to put a part of the movie into my showreel, but can't find the After Effects file anymore. I post a thread on a forum trying to fig out if I can import the blu-ray into premiere (CS4) or is there any other way with CS4 to rip the blu-ray into a full HD file?.
Some guy's words give me a hint. "Copy BD to HDD and go into the STREAM directory there you will find your movie, it's a m2ts file. You can import this into Premiere." Following this, it works perfect
However, another problem happened when I try to import a Blu-ray disc (Avatar) to Premiere Pro CS4, I got a File Import Failure window that says "Unsupported format or damaged file."
Searching further and widely; Adobe.com says M2TS files are supported for import into CS4. The problem is that I am trying to pull files from a store-bought Blu-ray disc into Premiere which has some kind of copy protection. Yes, that is the definite cause of the problem. Premiere can't support Blu-ray disc which has protection at all. So, the optional choice is that I need to decrypt the protection of Blu-ray disc first and then import to Premiere.
One of my friends recommends Pavtube Blu-ray Ripper for Mac (Windows Version: Blu-ray Ripper). The software is ease of use. I download the trail version and convert my Blu-ray movie to a Adobe Premiere highly compatible format WMV. So, I can import it freely on Adobe Premiere CS4. In fact, it can just copy the movie content under the profile of "Directly Copy" which highly reduces the conversion time. The most important is that the conversion quality was great! The quality of the conversion was beyond expectation- the files looks as good as from the original. Very clean, very quick, very impressive.

This converter not only supports Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, but also suits other models of Adobe Premiere Pro, including CC7, CS6, CS5, and CS3. Anyone who has the similar issues can follow the tutorial below presenting the Blu-ray to WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) conversion process. I do the conversion on Mac Maverick (it also supports Mountain Lion and Windows OS including 8.1).
How to convert Blu-ray to Adobe Premiere Pro CC7/CS6/CS5/CS4/CS3?
1. Download the Blu-ray to Adobe Premiere Pro Converter, install.
2. Start Blu-ray Ripper to import Blu-ray disc or Blu-ray IFO/ISO files. Choose the output format as WMV.
Before convert Blu-ray to Adobe Premiere Pro, you can click "Settings" button to customize the output parameters, such as resolution, bitrate, etc. You can also skip this step because I think that the preset profile is really suitable.
3. Hit the "Convert" button to rip Blu-ray to wmv for Adobe Premiere Pro.
When the conversion process is over, you can import videos to Adobe Premiere Pro and edit without any problem. Read Adobe Premiere Pro workflow: How to import Media Files to Premiere Pro on Mac to learn the details.

As Seen on Kathleen of Inspirafashion blog! The girls in front of you may have to beg their way into the club, but you'll be ushered right in with the Secret Password Pale Yellow Lace Midi Dress! Stretchy cream-meets-yellow lace punctuates your every curve, from the sleek racer-front and back, all the way to the midi-length hem. Sheer decolletage outlines a sweetheart silhouette and wraps around to a sheer back panel that will delight anyone that catches a glimpse of you from behind! Dress is lined. Model is wearing a size small. 55% Polyester, 40% Nylon, 5% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
How it fit:
"I loved this very comfortable easy to wear dress. Its a very light yellow/cream Great length ..I'm 5"6 and its just long enough to wear to a "family" outing. The all over lace is soft and covers but shows all at the same time! I'm glad I got this one! :)"
How it fit:
"Personally I love this dress! I put that it runs a little small for be because I'm 5'8'' and my was chest 37, waist 27, and hips 38. Its only a little tight over my butt (**** my kim kardashian butt). But it don't make much of a difference of how much I will be loving this dress. If you're still unsure, definitely check the size chart!"
How it fit:
"This dress looks great! It's really delicate looking and because of the neckline it gives almost an edgy feel to it. The only things I would really be careful about is size: I am 5'6" and weigh 110lbs and this was just right if not a little too tight (I ordered a small) Also, you must plan to wear white or nude undergarments as the liner is a little see-through. just a little. Also, I am very flat chested (there, i said it haha) and the 'm' shaped neckline doesn't look right until I puff it out with a structured strapless with a ton of padding (a b-cup or so) it's still worth the buy, just invest in a bombshell bra from VS or something like it to give yourself extra oomph if you're like me. enjoy!"

Nature's Way Astragalus Root has been harvested from the wild in northern China and Mongolia and is carefully grown, tested, and produced to certified quality standards. Astragalus is considered to have a normalizing effect on the body's functions. It is an important herb in Chinese medicine and is commonly included in Chinese cuisine. Astragalus can be found in Nature's Way System Well Multi-Defense Formula.People with autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes or systemic lupus erythematosus shouldn't use astragalus unless recommended by a qualified healthcare practitioner. People who have had transplant surgery should not use astragalus.
Did You Know?Early Chinese writings refer to Astragalus as "The Superior Tonic." It ranks as one of China's most important herbal medicines and is commonly used in Chinese cuisine.
About Nature's Way
America's leader in herbal medicine.If you've heard of Nature's Way, or better yet, used their products, it's not surprising. They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding.
A family crisis and an herbal renaissance.Nature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years.
Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way.
While it may seem hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly spurred the growth of what could be called the "Silicon Valley of Herbal Supplements."
An industry pioneer in many ways.When you've been pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of "firsts" among major dietary supplement companies. Many of these innovations initiated by Nature's Way have shaped how America thinks about natural medicine. Here are just a few:
It's more than a business. Nature's Way believes in giving back. Nature's Way is grateful for their business success and they express it through a tradition of giving back. A few examples include:
Nature's Way Today. Today, their manufacturing capacities have expanded and they're able to bring even more good things to you. That's because being affiliated with Schwabe North America and its family of brands, including Boericke & Tafel, Enzymatic Therapy, Integrative Therapeutics, Inc., allows them to expand their reach and enhance the health of more people through the power of nature.
As one of the most technologically advanced supplement manufacturers in the United States, they continue to push the boundaries forward on quality research, testing and introducing new ingredients. We offer over 500 premium nutritional and natural products, including single herbs and herbal extracts, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and specialty products.
While herbal supplements are still the backbone of their product line, new and innovative products including Alive Whole Food Energizer, Primadophilus probiotics, Ginkgold clinically proven ginkgo extract, EfaGold essential fatty acids, Hydraplenish hyaluronic acid and Thisilyn liver support formulas, just to name a few, are exciting additions to their offering.
After all, innovation, seeking the best in nature, and bringing "the world's best" to the marketplace is their goal. Like their founder Tom Murdock, they're still pioneering. There are many discoveries yet to be made in this amazing world. They may happen in a rainforest, a savannah, or like they did over 40 years ago, in a desert. When they are discovered, they'll bring them to you.
That's why you can Trust the Leaf. Nature's Way's company logo—the green leaf seen on their product packaging and on this web site—features a motto: "Trust the Leaf." They mean it. They take it seriously. They strive to produce the very best and have worked hard to build trusting relationships with their retailers and with you. They know that millions of people rely on Nature's Way products to enhance their health. They consider it a legacy of their history and a pledge to the future. That's why you can turn to them again and again and "Trust the Leaf."

Harvard-Westlake is the number 1 private college prep school in the Western U.S. for a reason. It challenges your character as well as your intellect. I'm currently a junior and this school year is quite possibly the most difficult thing I've ever faced in my entire life and I love it. All of the students who gave the school negative reviews below are the one's who didn't have the will to succeed. The education i have received thus far is such an asset to me and I really am just starting to appreciate that. The years I've spent so far here are the best. The people are all genuinely nice and those who say otherwise just don't have many friends because they never made an effort to get to know new people. This is a college environment and if you can't handle that then this is not the place for you. It is fast paced and teachers will not go out of their way to make sure you don't get left behind. That is up to you. Even taking 4 AP's/Honors this year I still find it manageable with a varsity sport and a girlfriend/social life on top of it all. Those who complain about the difficulty are the ones who struggle mightily and blame others for their shortcomings and they do exist at HW

Cheap Computers | Cheap Laptops
Mid-range computers can better handle graphics programs and programs that require the management of a larger
Although not a graphics workstation, a mid-range computer can handle all common business programs with better
speed than a standard computer. This is especially true with limited photo editing or video editing. However,
intensive video editing works best with high-end computers.
A mid-range computer is more powerful than a standard computer, and it is suitable
for more demanding work.
All games will work on a mid-range computer, however, the more complicated games may run somewhat slower than on
a high-end computer. Nevertheless, for those new to gaming, the mid-range computer will be fun to operate.
Of course, individual computers may vary in their capabilities and running speed. Also note that a monitor and
speakers may or may not come with the computer as a complete package.
While nothing here will have this year's cutting-edge component advancements, with the dramatic rise in
component quality and falling costs, mid-level computers are now more powerful and less expensive than ever before.
As a rough guide, typical cost of a mid-range computer including a monitor and speakers is about $700 and
Here are our recommendations for a mid-range computer.
- AMD® Phenom™ X4 Quad Core
- Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core E5200 (2MB, 800FSB)
- Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E7400 (3MB, 1066FSM)
- Intel® Core™ i7-920 (2.66GHz, 8MB L3 Cache)
- 2 GB DDR II SDRAM 800MHz 2 DIMMs
- 3 GB DDR III Tri-Channel SDRAM at 1066MHz 3 DIMMs
Hard Drive:
500 GB to 720 GB at 7200 RPM Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache.
Video Card:
- NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300GE
- ATI® Radeon™ HD 3450 256MB
- ATI® Radeon™ HD 4850 512MB
- ATI® Radeon™ HD 4870 X2
- Integrated AC '97 SoundMAX with SPX
- Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
TIP - If you're building a computer, make sure the motherboard and the processor (CPU) are compatible!
- Intel® 945GZ Express Chipset, 800 MHz speed.
- Intel® G31 Express
- XFX nForce 750a SLI
When a monitor is part of a mid-range computer package (it's not always), it will be either a 17" to 20"
color monitor. For a household computer, a 17" monitor is acceptable. But if you intend to do a lot of work
on your computer, then we recommend a 18" or 20" monitor. It is simply easier to work on.
I recommend making sure you can adjust the brightness on the LCD screen. (That ability is on the video
card.) If a brightness control is not on an LCD screen, then it is better to get a standard CRT monitor.
Some gamers prefer to avoid LCD monitors because of "ghosting" which can be very irritating.
Optical Drive 1
A CD/DVD-ROM, and
Optical Drive 2
Optical Drive 1
A Blu-ray disc drive - This will allow you to read and write Blu-ray discs, read HD DVD discs, and read and
write traditional DVDs and CDs.
For dial-up: 56 Kbps PCI Data/fax modem. But for serious surfing or a home business, you should get ISDN,
DSL, or a cable connection, depending on what is available in your area.
Operating System:
Windows® 7 is the new standard but inproven. Try to avoid Windows® Vista which
is still available, but if Windows® XP is available, even with an extra fee we recommend it.
A typical package will usually include Microsoft® Works, Microsoft® Office Standard
version or Professional version. We strongly recommend you use an Anti-Virus program
and use a Firewall. See Part 5: Software for more information on software programs.
Power Supply:
Often ignored, it is very important to get a good quality power supply.
Power Protection:
Computer hardware is highly sensitive to power surges, voltage spikes, power sags, brownouts, and
blackouts! You can easily melt-down your silicon circuitry before you know it. Use a APC Back-UPS or
similar unit that is appropriate for your computer. Do not rely on a cheap and often unworking plug-in
circuit breakers. Get a UPS unit.
Some retail sellers may offer an extended warranty on your new computer or laptop. We do not
recommend them, ever. They are expensive and they are very rarely used.
You'll find great deals on a wide range of standard computers for the home, student, personal use, or small
Tiger Direct
An unbelievable huge range of desktop computers and laptops and everything else you could possibly need or
want. This is computer heaven.

Eating and shopping healthier should be simple, right? If only it were so. With the dizzying array of health claims found down every grocery aisle, you might think you need a PhD to sort out what's genuinely good for you. Yet there's at least one label that truly means what it says: USDA Certified Organic.
By definition, "organic" foods are produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, genetically engineered ingredients, or synthetic pesticides. In other words, they're grown the old fashioned way – sunlight, water and natural fertilizer. That's it. When you see "organic" on the label, as on all Cascadian Farm products, you know it meets strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Furthermore, organic growers must be certified by USDA-approved agencies, so you know they play by the rules.
But what about "natural"? Does it mean the same thing as "organic"? Not according to the USDA. Only food labeled "organic" meets national organic standards. Even though foods claiming to be "free-range," "natural," and "hormone-free" are plentiful, they are not necessarily "organic" unless specified.
How much of a given product is organic is another matter. To find out, look at the label. 100% Organic means all of a product's content is certified organic. Organic means at least 95% of it is (the other 5% can be minerals, vitamins and other minor ingredients). Made with Organic Ingredients means at least 70% of the product's content is certified organic. Less than 70% organic content, and a product may only flag individual ingredients as organic on its label.
Now that we know what foods make the "organic" cut, a question remains: are organic foods any better for you?
Think of it like this: it isn't just about what you consume, but what you don't. By eating and cooking with organic foods, you limit your exposure to synthetic insecticides, herbicides and other chemicals that can't be used on organic crops. Fewer mysterious ingredients means fewer things to worry about.
By keeping synthetic chemicals out of our air and water, organic growing practices helps reduce our impact on the environment. Soil stays healthier and erodes less, too, so it's good to grow another day. Farmers see other benefits as well, like greater diversity of wildlife around their farms, not to mention avoiding handling synthetic pesticides.
Of course, no one would bother with organic food if it wasn't also delicious. So whether you're all about the environment, your health, or just eating what tastes good, being Organic Aware can help you shop (and eat) a little smarter.

If you walked into the Dearborn Branch on the morning of June 5, you would have seen children mesmerized by self-proclaimed "balloon-atic" Larry MacDonald creating animals, hats, and crowns from long, thin balloons. He handed out balloons to the children, and as they followed his instructions, dogs and hats emerged with a twist of the wrist. Oohs and ahhs were heard as he created teddy bears holding hearts and a crown for a princess.

The Grain Valley Branch had the pleasure of having Mac, the Missouri Mavericks Mascot; Bob Rennison, the Mavericks radio announcer; and Darin Henderson, the official DJ for the Mavericks do their new program Stick With Reading. This program not only promotes the Missouri Mavericks and hockey, but it also promotes reading.
Summer is in full swing at the Raytown Branch. The Summer Reading Program is up and running. There are programs for all ages, birth through teens. Children have an opportunity to win 3 free books and other prizes. You have until July 31st to participate. It is easy to sign up online or at the Library. We are offering a number of family programs:
Don't let your reading skills get rusty this summer. The Antioch Branch has a program just for you. Pagemasters will meet every Monday at 6:30 p.m. We take turns reading a book, then play a game or make a craft to go along with the story. You can sign up online or call the Library at 816.454.1306.
Here are some of the books we are reading this summer:
The next part of our series on indoor photography will focus on using a high film speed or ISO indoors. ISO stands for International Organization of Standardization. The most common settings are 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600. Many cameras available today will allow you to switch an ISO setting quickly.
Imagine a mysterious, diverse, and beautiful land on the other side of the world. A land that produces an instrument called the didgeridoo, which looks and sounds as exotic as its name. A land down under, a land called Australia.
But wait! Let's go back to the instrument: a didgeridoo? Well, that's just plain fun to say! The didgeridoo is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians about 1,500 years ago that is still in widespread use today all around the world.
And you thought only Garth Brooks did this sort of thing.
More than 80 girls got a chance to experience the aloha spirit of Hawaii recently when the North Oak Branch hosted two American Girl Tea parties celebrating Kanani, one of the American Girl characters.
Here is part three of our series on taking pictures inside. The last two blogs focused on using the flash indoors and high ISO settings. This time, I would like to focus on using outside light to help you get a good indoor picture.
The picture you see above was taken inside an apartment. However, I made sure to position the objects of the picture within the sunlight that was shining through the window.
For the last entry in our series on shooting pictures indoors, I would like to share a number of quick tips and tricks that I've learned over the years. 1: Try shooting in black and white. The picture of the cat you see above was taken inside with no flash. Before taking this picture, I'd taken several others in color, and none of them were turning out right. On a whim, I set my camera to shoot black and white and finally managed to get a good cat head shot.

Woodland Park Zoo is a zoological garden around the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Occupying the western half of Woodland Park, the zoo began as a small menagerie on the estate of Guy C. Phinney, a Canadian-born lumber mill owner and real estate developer. Opened in 1899, the 188-acre (76 ha) Woodland Park was sold to the city for $5,000 in cash and the assumption of a $95,000 mortgage on December 28, 1899, by Phinney's wife (Phinney had died six years earlier, in 1893). The sum was so large that the Seattle mayor (W. D. Wood) vetoed the acquisition, only to be overruled by the city council. In 1902, the Olmsted Brothers firm of Boston was hired to design the city's parks, including Woodland Park, and the next year the collection of the private Leschi Park menagerie was moved to Phinney Ridge.
As of the summer of 2010[update], the zoo includes 92 acres (37 ha) of exhibits and public spaces. It is open to the public daily,[3] and welcomed 1.05 million visitors in 2006. Its collection includes:
- 1,090 animal specimens
- 300 animal species
- 35 endangered and 5 threatened animal species
- 7,000 trees
- 50,000+ shrubs and herbs
- 1,000+ plant species
Exhibits at Woodland Park Zoo[edit]
|This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (May 2014)
Woodland Park Zoo has won more Best National Exhibit awards from the Association of Zoos & Aquariums than any other zoological institution except the Bronx Zoo in New York[citation needed]. It has long been a pioneer in the field of immersion exhibits: Woodland Park Zoo created what is generally considered the world's first immersion exhibit, a gorilla habitat, which opened in the late 1970s under the direction of David Hancocks.[4]
- Zoomazium - Zoomazium (a portmanteau of "zoo" and "gymnasium"), opened in May 2006, is an interactive playspace for children. It includes nature-themed playspaces as well as a Nature Exchange desk and open areas for interactive programs. It was built to be extremely energy efficient and even includes a "green roof", with a full-scale garden of native plants growing on the top of the building. With exhibit design done by AldrichPears Associates and architecture by Mithun, Inc,[5] the Zoomazium received a Thea Outstanding Achievement Award from the Themed Entertainment Association in 2007.[6]
- Tropical Rain Forest - this exhibit won a Best Exhibit award when opened in 1992. A walkway leads up to the building with viewing into a habitat for jaguars (opened in 2003), complete with underwater viewing. Nearby is a jungle researcher's tent. Inside the building is a myriad of animals from Central America and South America, including ocelots, poison arrow frogs, Lachesis (genus)s, tamarins, toucans, and a wide variety of tropical birds. An outdoor loop houses several African rain forest species, including red ruffed lemurs, colobus monkeys, and a rambling gorilla exhibit.
- Tropical Asia - this consists of two components. The first, Elephant Forest, won a national exhibit award when it opened in 1990. It features a 1.5-acre (0.61 ha) yard complete with a full-depth swimming pool for two female Asian elephants. The zoo has recently come under fire from animal-rights groups stemming from two incidents involving its elephants. Hansa, an Asian elephant born at the zoo in 2000, died in her sleep from a previously unidentified herpesvirus on June 8, 2007. To date, Hansa remains the only elephant born in Washington state history. A year earlier, the zoo chose to send another elephant, Bamboo, to Point Defiance Zoo in nearby Tacoma (the move did not ultimately work out and Bamboo is still at WPZ). The second part of the exhibit, Trail of Vines, takes the visitor on a journey through several different Southeast Asian rainforest habitats, featuring numerous endangered species. Beginning with Malayan tapirs, it moves on to lion-tailed macaques, Indian pythons, and finally large indoor/outdoor habitats for the siamangs and orangutans.
- Northern Trail - this exhibit also won a national Best Exhibit award when opened in 1994. It carries the visitor through the northern habitats of Tundra, Taiga, and Montane. It is landscaped to resemble an actual trail in Alaska's Denali National Park. The Northern Trail is home to a variety of North American animal species, including gray wolves, arctic foxes, grizzly bears, mountain goats, bald eagles, and Roosevelt elk (which are actually endemic to Washington).
- African Savanna - This also earned national Best Exhibit honors. The first of its kind when it opened in 1980, WPZ's savanna inspired the building of similar exhibits across the country. The visitor enters through a model African village, which blends in elements of African culture as well as important messages about the human/animal balance in conservation. The main "savanna" houses giraffes, zebras, gazelles, oryxes, and ostriches, while two connected exhibits house hippopotamus and patas monkeys. As of May 2007, visitors may hand-feed the giraffes for a small fee. Hidden moats allow these yards to appear to be part of a continuous landscape. In addition to the herbivores, two separate yards are currently home to lions and cheetahs.
- In summer 2007, Woodland Park Zoo revamped and highlighted its African Savanna exhibit as part of its Maasai Journey program, which featured a mix of cultural and animal-themed programs about the East African grasslands.
- Australasia - Australasia has the fewest animals of all the exhibits in the zoo, but it has one of the most popular exhibits, The Willawong Station[citation needed]. The Willawong Station houses over 100 parrots from Australia, there are Parakeets, Cockatiels and Eastern Rosellas. Other animals in Australasia are Kookaburras, a handful of Wallaroos, a couple of Emus and Snow Leopards. The Wallaroos have an indoor and outdoor area.
- Temperate Forest- The Temperate Forest exhibit is home to a variety of animals from temperate regions of Asia, North America, and South America. It includes an aviary with a number of exotic birds, including hornbills and pheasants, as well as yards for cranes, Japanese Serows, Red Pandas, and a marsh exhibit featuring local waterfowl species. In 2008 a small exhibit was opened in the Temperate Forest area featuring Chilean flamingos and Southern Pudús, which have bred successfully at WPZ. A small alcove features interpretive exhibits on the zoo's efforts to restore the native western pond turtle.
- Other highlight animals at Woodland Park Zoo include Sumatran Tigers (which have bred several times in the past years), a Raptor Center and accompanying flight demonstration, and lowland anoa. Woodland Park Zoo is one of a handful of zoos outside Japan displaying Japanese Serows, a threatened relative of the mountain goat. Woodland Park Zoo also includes a "Family Farm" exhibit, Bug World, snow leopards, and several species of hornbills. In May 2010 the zoo added a new exhibit featuring meerkats to the "Adaptations" building; the exhibit features tunnels, a log den and accommodations for the animals that approximate their natural habitat.[7]
- The zoo also houses a hand-carved carousel, originally built for the Cincinnati Zoo in 1918 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, head carver John Zalar. In the 1970s, the carousel was moved to Santa Clara, California, where it operated into the 1990s. It was donated to Woodland Park Zoo by the Alleniana Foundation, and opened May 1, 2007 in a new pavilion on the zoo's North Meadow.
- In May 2009, WPZ opened a new 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m2) Humboldt Penguin exhibit. The outdoor enclosure is designed to recreate the penguin's native habitat in Peru, and features cliffs and pools. The exhibit is also designed to use Green energy, such as geothermal power.[8]
Financial difficulties[edit]
On January 5, 2010 WPZ announced that due to the "difficult economy," they are closing their Night Exhibit.[9][10]
Notable animals[edit]
From 1953 to 1968 WPZ was home to Bobo, a western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla, the same species as the gorillas currently living at the zoo). WPZ acquired Bobo from the Lowman family of Anacortes, Washington, who had purchased the gorilla as an infant from a hunter in Columbus, Ohio in 1951 and had raised him in their family home in Anacortes. Bobo drew many visitors to the zoo and was one of Seattle's main attractions in the years preceding the construction of Seattle Center and the expansion of major-league professional sports into the city; his popularity is credited with helping the zoo obtain funding to build a new primate house.
Anthropologist Dawn Prince-Hughes spent many years working at Woodland Park Zoo and observing the Western Lowland Gorillas there, which she wrote about in her book Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism.[11]

Derek Stepan recorded a career-high four points in Tuesday's 5-2 victory in Philadelphia. Stepan notched three assists, including helpers on the first two goals, before giving the Blueshirts a 3-0 lead with his tenth goal at 5:46 of the secong period. Stepan goes to the net untouched to corral the loose puck after a Rick Nash shot, and then calmly backhands it into the wide-open net with Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov hopelessly out of position.

Just what we need, another RINO. The Establishment desperately wants an Establishment candidate other than Romney, but the names who are popping up (Giuliani, Perry) all seem flawed. The Establishment must be thinking to themselves "What's a fellow got to do to get a vanilla, mainstream, non-threatening, status quo candidate? How is Bob Dole's health?"
Category Archives: Rudy Giuliani
Is Giuliani Considering Another Run? (Ick!)
Recently I have been reading rumors that Giuliani is considering another run for the White House. The Establishment is desperate for a relatively centrist Establishment candidate other than Romney whom they view as flawed. Some people are obviously whispering into the ears of some potential candidates. Christie, despite repeated denials, name keeps getting mentioned. Rick Perry has been mentioned. And now Giuliani is even being dragged back up.
But Giuliani's campaign was a disaster last time. Despite high name recognition and a substantial lead in the early polls, he was a disaster on the ground in early states due to his liberal stand on social issues and his failure to campaign. He thought he could bypass the early states and just waltz through the multistate primaries, but he was an afterthought before it got around to the multistate primaries. (Whoever gave him that campaign advice was a freakin' idiot. I'm no expert, and I could have told him that wasn't going to work.)
That said, I can't overlook the irony that the Professor dismissing Giuliani's chances in 2012 is from the Regent University's Robertson School of Government. Umm … er … Professor … your boss ENDORSED Rudy in the last election despite Rudy's pro-choice politics because he was allegedly good on the "war on terror" and Israel. The shame of that endorsement should forever stain Robertson's legacy.
Shocker: RINO Rudy Endorses RINO Trey Greyson Against Rand Paul
Rand Paul has Establishment shill Trey Greyson on the run, and the neocons are in panic mode. They have dug up Rudy's political corpse and drug him to Kentucky to endorse his fellow RINO.
Tying up loose ends before the New Year
The busyness of Christmas season left me precious little time to blog on some items in the news, political items that may be of interest to CHT readers. I will try to tie up these loose ends before the new year begins.
Winners and Losers Tonight
Here is James Ostrowski's take from Lew Rockwell. He has been pretty good with his prognosticating.
Huckabee–But where does he go from here? The Improv?
Thompson–still alive but at 2% in New Hampshire
Paul–double figures after every single press report stated he couldn't win–exceed his poll average by 40% in a hostile environment
Romney–bet the ranch on winning there
McCain–badly wanted third place
Giuliani–a humiliating 4% …
…Big picture: none of the candidates up against Ron Paul is looking good nationally. This will be a war of attrition down to the convention.
Is Rudy Broke?
Rumor has it that Rudy is broke. Tonight's dismal showing will not help his fund raising.
Should Ron Paul be Excluded From Fox Forum? Vote in AOL Poll.
Alan Keyes Gets One Thing Right
Alan Keyes was on Hannity and Colmes last night. He was his normal Straussian, "Declarationist" babling self, but he did manage to get one thing right. He said he would never support Rudy if Rudy is the GOP nominee. Hannity, always the GOP shill, tried to argue him out of that position but Keyes would not budge. Hannity did the same thing with Dobson.
"Paul's People" Dog Rudy in Kentucky
Watch this clip.
Rudy says that Paul supporters are all over the country. What he means is that they are showing up at all of his events.
Rudy's Family Values
Hat Tip: The Shot! Rudy…The Only Republican Worth Cheating With
Giuliani Dogged by Paul Supporters in Georgia
Paul supporters apparently outnumbered Rudy supporters at this event in Marietta Georgia.
I am not sure how I feel about crashing another candidate's event, but this warms my heart none the less.
Did Robertson's Endorsement of Giuliani Backfire?
This article suggests it did.
The backlash against Robertson started even as the first reports surfaced that he was backing a candidate at odds with core evangelical beliefs.
The blogs lit up.
"Pat Robertson has sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver,†said one blogger. "Shame on Pat Robertson,†wrote another.
The Web site RFFM.org blasted Robertson for sacrificing "many of the issues he claimed to fight for in his attempt to, once again, bask in the public limelight. Robertson seems willing to overlook all of these 'flaws' within the former New York Mayor's political character, in order to do what?â€
Robertson insisted his endorsement was aimed at a movement among some evangelicals to support a third-party candidate if Giuliani becomes the Republican nominee. But that rationale only deepened the ire of many.
Did Robertson insist his endorsement was aimed at evangelicals threatening a third party or is that just the author's interpretation? I haven't read that he said that in so many words. It seemed to me a straight forward endorsement of Giuliani as someone who will vigorously prosecute "the war on terror," and be able to beat Hillary.
I am not sure which is worse, a straight forward endorsement of Rudy or an attempt to subvert fellow Christians.
Rudolph Giuliani on Immigration
"Rudy Giuliani can play a little rough at times, but there are some moments when an inner light turns on and he turns downright idealistic. One of those moments came on Oct. 10, 1996, as he stepped on the podium at the Kennedy School of Government to deliver a speech on immigration. "I'm pleased to be with you this evening to talk about the anti-immigrant movement in America,†he said, "and why I believe this movement endangers the single most important reason for American greatness, namely, the renewal, reformation and reawakening that's provided by the continuous flow of immigrants.†…Giuliani continued: "I believe the anti-immigrant movement in America is one of our most serious public problems.— ~ David Brooks
I generally cannot stomach to read David Brooks, the man who has claimed that "real conservatism" concerns universal human rights and other such Jacobin cliches. Brooks is a Trotskyite in sheep's clothing. And this op-ed, which ends on the note of condemning real patriots, is despicable, but at least, I suppose, it does let discriminating readers know the truth about Giuliani (i.e. the politically correct, globalist fraud that he truly is — like David Brooks himself).
Rudy Giuliani Associates with and Accepts Donations from Accused Child Molester
Rudy Giuliani continues to associate with a priest, credibly accused not only of molesting young boys, but of being involved in covering up not only his own crimes but those of other priests that have molested young boys.
Read more about it at Lone Star Times.
I can't say I'm surprised considering the type who support Giuliani in my state of South Carolina.
Ron Paul Blasts Rudy "Four Deferments" Giuliani!
If someone is unhappy with the Bush policy, they would find Giuliani's
would be even more extreme. But since Giuliani is so anxious to go to
war, somebody ought to ask him why he didn't go when he was called up
instead of ducking it like some of those other chicken hawks – he took,
what, four deferrals?
The kids today are expected to go because Giuliani likes this stuff.
But whether it's Cheney or Giuliani, these guys think it's quite proper to
go to war when they feel like it. But they never had to expose
Good Article on Pat Robertson's Back Stabbing Endorsement of Giuliani
Here it is. Worth a read.
Pat Buchanan at His Best: A Vote for Rudy = Perpetual War
Pat exposes the neocon war-hawks who advise Rudy Giuliani.
Buchanan on Rudy and the State of Conservatism
This is a great article. If Rudy wins with the support of conservatives, the movement will be no more.
Jeb Bush Jr. Endorses Rudy
Good grief. Another turncoat. His Daddy ought to take the little brat out behind the woodshed and beat his butt.
Social Conservatives For Rudy? Yeah right!
Social Conservatives for Rudy? That makes about as much sense as Porn Stars for Chastity.
There is a strong Rudy contingent over at NRO, but Remesh Ponnuru isn't buying it.

I guess you were already planning on having to pack and move, but I had to say "oh no" when I read that!! Since I have been in the same house sice 1976, I can't imagine making all the moves that you have....especially with a larger family to move! I bet you don't have much "junk" to move.
Thanks for the frosting recipe..how about sharing your biscotti recipe...that sounds like a good one.
If I could shoot a gun, I might buy one. I have lived 61 years without one, so will probably leave it that way.
Have a Merry Christmas. Linda
