Over the Easter weekend, military personnel from Fort Benning began "courtesy" patrols in downtown Columbus, accompanying civilian police into local hotspots. From WRBL News 3:
The arrangement comes after a beating incident, allegedly involving five soldiers, earlier this month. From today's Columbus Ledger-Enquirer:
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, an officer and senior non-commissioned officer will walk up and down Broadway from about 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., seeking to keep the peace.
"We're going to be stepping inside bars, clubs and restaurants that run between Ninth and 12th Street and asking security guards and bouncers whether there've been any problems," said 1st Lt. David Fabozzi. "For example, if the soldier's too drunk, we can ask him to get in a cab or we can ask for him to call for a ride. We cannot physically restrain the soldier in any way and if it comes to the point when the confrontation is about to get physical, we can ask the Columbus Police Department to step in."
…[A]fter a somewhat delayed response to the beating, in which four Benning soldiers were charged two weeks ago with aggravated battery, it was clear that post officials sought to send a message to soldiers and the community. In downtown, the stakes are high for the post and the city on the weekend, and both entities have seemed acutely aware of public perception in light of the recent violence, which included a fatal shooting that did not involve any soldiers.

Back during the "Dark Ages", when the Earth's greatest Military's focus was on Southeast Asia, MPs (Military Policemen) and "Fayetnam's" finest would patrol the areas in-and-around Hay Street and vicinity. Those of you whose vintage reflects that of yours truly will surely remember some of the "wonders" which awaited those who were drawn, like flies to (fill in the blanks), toward the "adventures" which could only be attributed to a Military town.
While…as with any population group…there were always a few "nut cases" who, come hell or high water, couldn't stay out of trouble if their lives depended on it, the overwhelming majority of troops simply wanted to get hammered and "stuff a few bills" (I certainly hope no further explanations are required on this one). While, by the "standards" of today's religous right, this activity might be viewed with raised brow, these troops were usually the recipients of trouble, compliments of the local civilian population which, more times than not, failed to appreciate the fact that they were dealing with kids who could, at the flick of a mental switch, go into complete and total offensive mode. If the MPs were on-site, the troops generally got trucked back to Bragg; usually, depending on "skill at egress" and…LUCK…it was back to the bar!
Thanks for the memories!

I was at Fort Benning back in the 1940's when Phoenix City ,Alabama, (next to Columbuis) was in full swing with wide open gambling and everything else you can imagine. If you think the Columbus area is tough now it is a joy ride when compared to that era. Fights were common and violent with GI's and gamblers fighting it out. Some ended up in the river. Places that cater to GI's are often just out for the military dollars and almost anything goes. Human nature being what it is don't expect anything to change much.

Posse Comitatus. Get them the hell off the streets and back onto the base. There is no place for military occupation of this nation. This is just about getting people used to having the military everywhere so that it will be easier to make them a permanent fixture on the streets, dutifully protecting the government (they really don't protect the citizens).

@Freedon Lover — paranoid much? Jeez…I'm as progressive as they come and think this is a great idea. The military can demonstrate to the locals that they'll work to ensure the troops are civil. Sounds like a winning proposition….

Freedom Lover,
Excuse me, I'm as paranoid as the next modern progressive (and agree that our government is no longer "of the people"), but the young men and women to whom you are referring are are not "them," they are OURS — as in our children, siblings, cousins, and friends, who have chosen a difficult and demanding career. In my opinion, the quickest way to bring about this police state you fear is to treat start treating our own like the enemy. Respect is a two-way street, Sparky. If you don't want them in uniform, why don't you create some jobs and hire a few. It shouldn't be hard to beat the pay and working conditions they settle for now!

I am not a huge fan of this here in the states and like the others who have posted before I am a progressive. That being said during my overseas tours courtesy patrol was a common site near the immediate base and the party districts, their only purpose was to ensure the soldiers were adhering to curfew and not causing issues with the locals. The C.P. had no interaction with the civilan population unless approached by them, as long as thats the case here and there is no mission creep I am cautiously ok with it.

I think it's good for the Soldiers and good for the community. Courtesy Patrols were once common in towns near military installations. I didn't see any comment that indicated the Courtesy Patrols had any legal authority. They are out there to help OUR Soldiers stay out of trouble.

Alabama Communist,
That might be true, but the soldiers are just young men and women, many of whom joined the military because other opportunities are scarce. They are being USED to build the wealth and power of the mighty corporate overlords, but they're still just young men & women who grew up believing in the America in our B.S. history books and corporate television that's been piped into their heads since birth. I ask you: when the revolution comes (wink wink), don't you want them on OUR side?
April 25th, 2011

Not sure that this is a police state question. Having Military personnel assisting the police in certain areas where soldiers are known to sometimes get out of hand is proper. As a service member there are certain responsibilities they have out in public, and if they need to be reminded to take them seriously, then remind them.

Civilians are afraid to go downtown in Columbus, at night, after a few violent events. I think the miliary response is to provide a sense of greater protection and aid the cops, more so than policing the GIs.

Aside from the lunatic fringe, whose commentsalways seem to indicate a maladjusted tin foil hat, common sense should prevail. Posse Comitatus applies only when trying to enforce civilian law with military personnel or units. This is no differnt than the military assisting in a natural disaster. The MPs ability to collect a name and unit number often will avert a later more unfortunate confrontation that is until the dog face has an opportunity to see what real violence is when discussing the evening with his/her plattoon Sgt. (Although I wish I was still in shape to do a 5 mile run with my DI and a full pack among the lovely hills of Fort Knox KY, while coming to a better understanding of the error of my ways.)

I don't know why people are surprised or even up in arms about this. Columbus is a military town just like a lot of places around the country. You're going to have things like this happen with soldiers are granted leave from the base or begin living off base. Judging from what I've read and this is only my interpretation. It seems the base is simply taking responsibility for its soldiers and being proactive in trying to keep this from happening again. I very much doubt that it's any attempt to get the general public use to a police state. It's a military town for crying out loud. Anyone who's lived in one, and I have. have been use to that for years. And Joey M, while I agree with the fact that alcohol can cause trouble, people have to be responsible for themselves and how much they drink. They tried making it illegal and all that accomplished was more crime and violence.
April 25th, 2011
2:52 pm
To History: I think I'm right on this but maybe you can clarify it for me. Can't soldiers be charged under the military code of justice when something like this happens? Say, a charge of conduct unbecoming along with civilian charges?

The problem is clearly the standing army. Just look at the situation around any and every US military installation around the world. Virtually every one of the founding fathers warned against the presence of a standing military (although many supported a strong navy) for so many reasons, not the least of which was its inherent risk to sustained liberty for the citizens.

Tellbythesmell, it's always good to see that members of the Greatest Generation…the Generation that rode, with my Dad, those Higgins Boats onto the Anzio Beaches, endure. We often spoke of common experiences; though those experiences were some twenty years apart, it somehow felt that there existed a continueum, common to Soldiers of many generations. My step mom would often remark that he spoke of things, with me, which he never would otherwise broach. Somehow, I suppose, the life of a Dogface consists of common threads which transcend time and which those who haven't tasted the dirt will never fully understand.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you, Sir, for riding the world of tyranny on both sides of the globe. I know that, were it not for the selfless actions of your generation…as seemingly "tough" as things are today…we would have it 1000 X 1000 X tougher today. Thanks, Soldier! And Joe, Retired, Last Man, et al…thanks for your comments.

Max Q consisted of Hutchence (vocals and songwriting) and Olsen (songwriting and production), who were accompanied by key members of the post-punk scene in Melbourne, Australia; most of whom had previously collaborated with Olsen. The project followed on from Hutchence and Olsen's work on the film, Dogs in Space, where they had first met.
Max Q released its sole self-titled album in 1989 and had minor hits with the songs "Sometimes" (originally recorded by Olsen with Orchestra Of Skin And Bone) and "Way of the World". The album was more critically acclaimed than commercially successful, and ever since it went out of print, it has yet to be re-issued. Also, the band had never performed any live shows.

Comments about Jean Louis Scherrer Scherrer Perfume:
According to numerous reviews fans on different sites for the answer, what is missing at the time of me "Ellipse" and with the love of Jean-Louis Scherrer Scherrer 2, ordered a bottle of 25 ml. And there was a nice, incredibly pleasantly surprised. Vintage flavor: deep, chypre, stable for more than 24 hours and it is just after crossing-flights without settling. I do not know how to "Ellipse", but referred to as "Shamad" substantial similarity, but this resistance is interrupted. And even more surprising resemblance to a modern version of J'ai Ose (parfume). Which was not so bad, and in the database, however, departs from traditional Shererra towards its base. In short, liked and loved.

Child Quest International Provides Children with the Skills Needed to Escape Danger & Abductions
Jaycee Lee Dugard's return to her family this week has cemented the importance of "Keeping Hope Alive" and never giving up in the search for a missing child. "You can't give up hope because of situations exactly like this," says Hilary Sessions, former Executive Director of Child Protection Education of America and mother of Tiffany Sessions, missing since February 9, 1989.
Child Quest International has been "Keeping Hope Alive" for many families since 1990.
"As a community, we can bring even more missing children home," says Sessions. Not only can we bring them home, but we can make our children safer by giving them the skills and awareness needed to escape dangerous situations and potential abductors.
In addition to "Keeping Hope Alive" while working with searching families and law enforcement, Child Quest believes education is an essential element in keeping kids from going missing in the first place. Today's headlines have often left parents and the community feeling fearful, lost, and hopeless. Recognizing that attempted abductions often happen when we least expect it, how can we protect our children when we can't be with them every minute of the day?
Child Quest, a San Jose based nonprofit, has one answer: "Our Kids Are Safe Kids" prevention education. While stranger abductions account for less than one percent of the nations missing children annually, it is imperative that children be taught the interpersonal safety skills needed to keep themselves safer at all times. Child Quest's abduction safety video, Milk Cartons: The Way Back Home, is an effective way of introducing this sensitive subject matter in a non-threatening manner while offering the frame work to prevent stranger abductions.
Child Quest's "Our Kids Are Safe Kids" child safety curriculum is more than just "stranger danger." It also teaches kids about Internet safety, bullying, physical abuse, and sexual assault. Through Child Quest's training, children become empowered. Children learn to replace their fear, confusion, and panic of dangerous situations with confidence, personal safety skills, and self-assurance.
"Every child without safety education is a possible and 'easy' target for abduction or violence as we've all witnessed through the media," says Child Quest Executive Director, Marcia Slacke. "We have to give children the necessary tools and information so they no longer will be that target."
Child Quest currently teaches programs in Bay Area schools, youth groups, and community organizations. The goal of Child Quest's "Our Kids Are Safe Kids" programs is to provide children with effective prevention education by enhancing their abilities, knowledge, skills, and power to protect themselves from violence and harm in any form.
Getting Involved
Child Quest has had great success with their prevention education programs, but there is always more to be done. If you would like more information or to request a program presentation for your school or community, please contact Anthony Gonzalez at (408) 287-4673 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com

15 Idiots Taking Out Their Anger on Inanimate Objects and Losing [Click to animate]
(Source: reddit.com)
Will Hines regrets everything, and these are his humbly planned Oscar daydreams.
Everyone daydreams about winning an Academy Award, and you can tell a lot about a person from the particular daydream he or she has.
Me? I picture myself winning the award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
It feels too arrogant to imagine winning Best Actor or Best Picture. Best Adapted Screenplay seems like a reasonable level of success to shoot for, even in fantasy. And I prefer being seen as a writer more than an actor. It seems smarter. I even prefer the idea of winning "adapted" instead of original since it feels more humble to serve an existing work. Mind you, I often confuse "humble" with "unconfident." [Keep Reading]

Federal Stimulus Funds Complete Quincy Concourse Project
Governor Deval Patrick joined state and local officials in Quincy to announce the key final component of the long-awaited Quincy Center Concourse Downtown redevelopment project is moving forward with $8.1 million in federal stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.
The Quincy Center Concourse will make improvements on Revere Road, an east-west connector road that will tie together the Quincy downtown area, long separated by a north-south rail corridor, spurring further redevelopment of downtown Quincy by separating local traffic from thru traffic.
The $8.1 million ARRA project is Phase II of the larger three-phase Quincy Concourse project and includes 1,900 feet of roadway reconstruction and realignment, along with demolition of an existing building owned by the City. It will connect on the west side with the Phase I Paul Harold Bridge that provides motorist and pedestrian access over the rail corridor. On the east side of the corridor, this Phase II project will connect with the final Phase of the overall project now under construction by the city. The completed connection will improve access and is expected to attract business investment on both sides of the rail corridor. The project is expected to be advertised in January 2010 with construction beginning in the spring.
At the Governor's direction, MassDOT will obligate all ARRA highway funds by January 31, 2010, more than a month ahead of federal deadlines. Visit the MassDOT federal stimulus Massachusetts Recovery page to learn more and view the new interactive map of all ARRA projects.
Major Worcester Road Project: Completed On Time, On Budget
Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray and MassDOT Secretary & CEO Jeff Mullan joined state and local officials in Worcester this week to celebrate completion of the $346 million reconstruction of Route 146 from I-290 in Worcester to Route 122A in Worcester and Millbury.
The reconstruction of four miles of Route 146 covered 13 years of construction and 10 major construction contracts awarded by the former MassHighway totaling approximately $300 million, along with the $46.5 million former Massachusetts Turnpike Authority project to build the new I-90 interchange Exit 10A. Even given the magnitude of the project, it was completed on time and within the original budget.
The project relocated, widened and divided more than four miles of Route 146 from I-290 in Worcester to Route 122A in Millbury. The project included reconstruction of the Route 146 interchange with I-290 in Worcester, Brosnihan Square, and three new Route 146 interchanges at Route 122A, I-90/Route 20, and McKeon Road/Providence Street in Worcester.
The Route 146 project began in the 1980's with planning, environmental permitting and preliminary design. The first construction project began in early 1995.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Catholics at Saint Mathew Roman Catholic Church in Downtown Monroe had a special prayer Wednesday evening. They're asking a higher power to watch over the newly elected pope. He was revealed to the world Wednesday. Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was introduced to world, who will now be known as Pope Francis I.
"This is our first American Pope. Now, granted, he's from South America but that's very exciting," Scott Brandle said.
Brandle, currently studying to be a deacon in the church, believes there's a happier tone during this selection process than in previous years. That's because the previous pope retired and is still alive.
Although there's a new leader, Brandle has faith the church will continue to put a stop to the child sex scandals.
"I would say the church is probably the safest place that you can be or that your children can be at this point because of all that the church has done," Brandle said. With the change in leadership, some in our area say now is the time for Catholics to return to church services."Maybe get more people involved, more Catholics may come back to church," Pashal Odidika said. Internally, many believers are waiting to see if Pope Francis will be traditional or a reformer."As for this pope and how he will direct that, I think that's part of the excitement, I don't think anyone really knows,"Brandle said.
This is also the first in modern era from the western hemisphere.

2014 Santa Cruz Regatta #2Submitted by aaronglee on Tue, 04/15/2014 - 17:01.
Hello Moore 24 Sailors,
Please register early for the Moore 24 Regatta so we may plan for a great event! Great PRO,awesome prizes & trophies, fun parties! Let us know if you need help getting your boat to the starting line.
We also need local Moore 24 fleet members to help volunteer to make this an epic event, which will earn you extra points from the wind gods and earn a scout merit badge. Even an hour of your time will be greatly appreciated.
Speaking of what a little help from your friends can do for you -
Thanks to awesome crew Scott Nelson (Lowly Worm), Dave Josselyn (Moorgasm), and Bart Goodell, Nobody's Girl finished 2nd in the SCYC Commodores Regatta this month.

2014 Doublehanded Lightship - Winner's Report from SnafuSubmitted by aaronglee on Mon, 04/07/2014 - 19:16.
Trachy anchored in the ebb before the start, at the pin end of a long starting line (GGYC), as far out in the bay as he could, knowing that getting out in the heavy ebb was the strategy. Combined with a puff that didn't seem to reach the rest of us, he eeked out a big head start in the otherwise zero breeze at the start (ebb + easterly = 0). It filled in from the west eventually, seemingly about an hour later. Gilles (on Snafu with me) almost lost it in the light air, where either tack, on the same heading, seemed to be justifiable. Mooretician got stuck between some barges... ahem... 30-footers... and worked hard to catch up later.
Trachy and Snafu went for the strong ebb on the southern side, Mooretician stayed north. They both seemed to work. We all headed too far north past Bonita and ended up reaching down to the lightship. Mooretician caught up a bunch by tacking over to that starboard reach before Trachy and us - all pretty close at this point.
Built to a solid 20-25 out there, we all did bald-headed peels to the #3 in potato patch waves, with 5' troughs off the back sides making it all very interesting. We even threw in a reef for a while.
2014 Santa Cruz RegattaSubmitted by aaronglee on Mon, 04/07/2014 - 19:14.
Ladies & Gentlemen,
Santa Cruz Regatta is right around the corner and Syndey Moore and Dave Josselyn, and a whole raft of folks at host SCYC have been hard at work to make sure this is going to be epic. Please see Sydney's email below with details, including NOR and link to online signup.
In addition to the regatta details (note lawn camping) note also that after racing Saturday we are working on complementary adult refreshement, and the awarding of a number of prestigous prizes for the following:
- biggest spread between best and worst score of the day
- oldest sail used
- youngest crew member
- oldest crew member
- others TBD
Prizes will be highly sought after Moore 24 swag.
Dinner will be available at SCYC Saturday night as well, and the bar will be polished and ready for your elbows.
As always, couple other general points of business:
2014 Doublehanded Farallones - Winner's Report from MooreticianSubmitted by aaronglee on Thu, 03/27/2014 - 17:05.
The 2014 edition of the Doublehanded Farallones race read much like a good story: it had a tricky beginning, interesting middle and an unpredictable end.
The beginning was all about timing the ebb tide "drift" to the start line. Four of the six Moores executed this maneuver successfully - two others were not so fortunate. Our next challenge was to make the most of every whisper of breeze to ensure we cleared the South Tower. Once at the Gate, we were met with an 8 kt westerly with 3 kts of residual ebb that carried us on our way to the Farallones. Sea conditions were a little confused as we cleared lands end but really settled down once we were beyond the SF approach channel.
(El Prez Note: link to pictures from the first 2 miles of the race (or, alternatively the first 2 hours) below)
Which leads us to the middle part of our story. We weren't even at the halfway point to the first mark when the wind dropped to about 1-2 kts.
2014 March 07 - 'Lectronic Latitude - Webb Chiles UpdateSubmitted by aaronglee on Mon, 03/10/2014 - 18:06.
Latitude 38 has featured Webb Chiles before — the intrepid singlehanded sailor and author has circumnavigated the globe five times under sail and is now in the final stages of preparing for an epic journey around the world in his flush-decked Moore 24 Gannet. We caught up with Webb in San Diego this week to get the latest info on his sailing plans, boat preparations and departure.
An eternally youthful Chiles beamed with pride of ownership and enthusiasm for his little grey Moore 24 as he showed off all of the unique mods that he's done to make Gannet more suited for long-range solo sailing. Starting at the bow, Webb's installed a removable carbon-fiber bowsprit for use with a furling assymmetrical spinnaker. Working sails consist of a roller-furling jib and user-friendly mast track and reefing system. Powered completely by flexible solar panels mounted flush to the deck, Webb's boat has opted to rely solely on electric tiller pilots and does not carry a wind vane. Things are kept just as minimal and tidy down below, with the stock Moore 24 layout of two pipe berths and two mini nav stations.
2014 February Wrap UpSubmitted by aaronglee on Tue, 03/04/2014 - 19:11.
Moore 24 Fleet,
I hope this finds everyone well. Since Mother Nature has taken this winter off in California, I trust everyone is busy with boat projects and getting ready for spring. Couple updates for the fleet:
2014 Rob Moore Regatta - From Leslie RichterSubmitted by aaronglee on Sun, 02/02/2014 - 09:31.
I'm so pleased that the Moore 24 Fleet has put the 2nd Annual Rob Moore Memorial Regatta (Robgatta) on to their season schedule. I would like to make a personal invitation to the fleet to come out on February 15th for full day of activities. Racing will be followed by beer and pizza on the deck; an extraordinary speaker panel including John Craig, Stan Honey, Sally Lindsey Honey, Kurt Jordan, and Dee Smith; silent and live auctions; and a buffet dinner.
2014 Rob Moore RegattaSubmitted by aaronglee on Sun, 02/02/2014 - 09:30.
The Rob Moore Regatta is a first time event for the Moore 24s, and is very near and dear to the fleet's heart for several reasons. Rob Moore was a tremendously influential member of the West Coast sailing community. He served as the racing editor of Latitude 38 for many years, and his writing, humor and insight inspired many of us to go out racing.
2014 Three Bridge FiascoSubmitted by aaronglee on Sun, 02/02/2014 - 09:24.
Under the category of "Some Days Are Like That" this year's 3 Bridge Fiasco saw spectacular weather courtesy of a high pressure weather system that seems to have been parked over Northern California waters since early December.
Of course with the sunshine came a lack of wind, and this, coupled with a ripping ebb current, made for either a very trying day (for those who decided to fight the weather gods), or a very relaxing and early day (for those who were more pragmatic/realistic and actually believed SailFlow and NOAA).
US101 - New Owner Profile - Cooper DresslerSubmitted by aaronglee on Thu, 01/16/2014 - 22:59.
I grew up sailing in San Diego bay, quickly becoming acquainted with racing. After dinghies, I started sailing 29ers, 49ers, and eventually 18 ft. skiffs. I was lucky enough to race these machines in the bay area frequently throughout high school, and fell in love with the sailing scene up there. I moved to Santa Cruz to attend college, and that's when I first became aware of the Moore 24's awesomeness and legacy.

Photo Credit: William Walker Photography
Why We Love It: This incredible special effect was achieved with steel wool and a 9-volt battery!
How? Photographer William Walker explains: "First off, this is a long exposure. The shutter was open for 31 seconds while the camera was on a tripod. The couple, Maggie and Andy, had to stand very still (in the dark) while my assistant (my wife Jessica) stood behind them with steel wool on a rope. I opened the shutter, and Jessica lit the steel wool on fire with a 9 volt battery (a little Boy Scout trick!) and swung the flaming steel wool in a circle, throwing sparks everywhere. Once the steel wool burned out, I had Jess run out of the shot. Then I used an off-camera flash to illuminate Maggie and Andy from the front and side, then closed the shutter, ending the exposure. Because Jess wasn't in the shot when the flash went off, she is invisible in the shot because there was no light to expose her. I'm still experimenting with this technique but we had a lot of fun doing this!"

text: I've always wondered how a small car like mine would fair if I was ever in an accident, unfortunately, I found out. Thank goodness I was in the car I was. On Aug. 11th 2012, I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He was driving a 2012 Ram truck. I was driving my 2000 Ford Focus. My car was totaled, but I walked away from the accident. I bought my car brand-new in 2001 and always loved it. I owned it for almost 12 years and never once thought of trading it in. I'm glad I didn't. I thank God and the Ford Motor Company for making it out with no major injuries. I will definitely buy Ford again.

Based on previous work, we hypothesized that activation of spinal NMDA-receptor initiates activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) pathway, leading to spinal release of prostaglandins and hyperalgesia. Accordingly, we examined the effect of intrathecal SD-282, a selective p38 MAPK inhibitor, on NMDA-induced release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and thermal hyperalgesia. Inhibition of spinal p38 MAPK attenuated both NMDA-evoked release of PGE2 and thermal hyperalgesia. NMDA injection led to increased phospho-p38 MAPK immunoreactivity in superficial (I–II) dorsal laminae. Co-labeling studies revealed co-localization of activated p38 MAPK predominantly with microglia but also with a small subpopulation of neurons. Taken together these data suggest a role for p38 MAPK in NMDA-induced PGE2 release and hyperalgesia, and that microglia is involved in spinal nociceptive processing.

…Not exactly. What's it to you?
Janet! O-Of course, thank you, especially for that coffee back then, aha.
Might I ask how your work is going?
It isn't anything too exciting. In fact, it's wonderfully boring and dull, right where I want it to be. It means I'm not stressed at all about what I'm doing! Yup yup yup!
How's your work coming along, anyway? Any new and exciting additions to the PC?
[smiles] That's always a good thing. Too much excitement is rather…. jeopardizing to a healthy lifestyle. And stress levels, heh.
I don't have anything extraordinary set up, just cleaned up some of the coding so there isn't as much redundancy. Nothing exciting, either, just grunt work I never had time to do before.

The cave, lit from above through a skylight, is one of a network of some 150 connected caverns, many still not surveyed, in the Annamite mountains. And as shown in these amazing images taken by photographer Carsten Peter, there is even a jungle concealed deep inside the cave. Mr Carsten, from Munich, Germany took the images in 2010 when he joined British and German cavers during further expeditions of the site.

I have still lots of unpublished recordings from this midsummer nights in Flói 2012.
With a quick audition all this recordings sounds similar. But with closer attention it sounds all as a beautiful symphony. There is so much happening that it can blow your attention, at the same time it can easily be your lullaby. I think these recordings are too nice to be lost in some of my hard drives.
This recording was made 26th of June, around 2am and is a straight forward of part 5.
It contains many bird species. Red throat Loon and two snivel Loon eyes. Red- necked Phalarope, Common Snipe, Golden Plover, Whimbrel, Common Redshank, White Wagtail, Winter Wren, Northern Wheatear, Common Redpoll, Snow Bunting and maybe other birds I can not mention.
In distance there are some traffic noises, horses, sheeps and Whooper Swan.
Background noise is mostly surf along the south coast and "white noise" is mic´s internal noise .
As usual for nature recordings as this one, don't play it loud. Play it as you will hear nature sound trough open window.

Law Enforcement Officer, government agency
This conversation is closed.
Has the time come for the U.S Second Amendment to be repealed or amended?
After yesterdays tragic shooting in Newtown CT and the worst year ever for firearm related deaths and mass killings , has the time for the US Government to tell the Gun Lobby it is over and repeal or amend "the right of the people to bear arms".
Should it be repealed on the grounds that when originally written it was for a smaller population to defend the "State" and meant for Muskets and flintlocks not semi automatics and military hardware, which makes it no longer viable on account of relevance to this day and age.
That Militia should be held to Law Enforcement agencies, Military and government controlled Para military agencies, with a show need, clause for people such as certain Primary producers etc.
Is it time to tell the NRA and the Gun Lobby there will be no more "collateral" damage no matter how much you donate to the "Party"
What would be the best way for the government to enforce such a law???
And please no Guns do not kill people, people kill people debates it was people who invented firearms in the first place.
The time has come to realise it is mainly our children who pay the ultimate price for lack of diligence in monitoring a problem that has been there for far too many years.
Closing Statement from Morgan Barnes
Firstly I would like to say I did not flag or delete anyone's comments I am perfectly capable of speaking for myelf however I did get frustrated and had some comments deleted myself.
As I write this President Obama has signed 23 executive orders inline with Colleen's post from yesterday from New York.
I have to admit I am a little disappointed that we could not of just discussed the issue in a more calm, critical and logical manner and be able to offer solutions as well as recognised the underling causes, as this is a forum for open ideas and thinking, Then again we are dealing with human nature.
To those of you from the International community thank you for your imput and allowing people to see the different views helds in different parts of the world on this subject.
I will not deny that the Constitution and The Bill Of Rights are the backbone of America, but remember it was written by man not given by god and man can take it away or amend it, if he really wants too.
I am a believer that in the 21st Century we should use it to advance humankind to address the problems of the world and improve it for all. It won't be easy but we have to start somewhere or we risk implementing our own destruction.
I hope that this be a positive start and and an even more positive step in which the US can show the way.
Once again I thank you all for your contributions

Dec 29 2012: Two things are of interest to me in your message: As mentioned, the Second Amendment makes very clear that it is talking about the use of arms for military purposes -- hence the "well-regulated militia." I mentioned in my previous comment that firearms advocates, when discussing the Amendment rarely bring that up -- and it is absent in your comment as well. I would be interested to hear your response to that. About that Fourth Amendment, it has always struck me that it is dealing with the protection of the indvidual against governmental intrusion . "To be secure" does not necessarily mean that the individual has the right to take any specific action. If its focus was on the absolute right of the individual to protect his property, why doesn't it also mention a right to bear arms as a means to prevent that intrusion? So, it seems to me that the Amendment spells out restrictions on government, not rights of individual to "secure" anything. These are honest questions, and there is ample room for honest debate, but these points you make are not "self-evident" or absolute, at least not in the way that I read them. If they were, Warren Burger would not have labeled as "fraud" the assertion that the Second Amendment gives the right of the individual to bear arms.
Dec 29 2012: The use of arms for military purpose, would, I believe, naturally align with the fact that throughout history, government has been the perpetrator of mass murder on a scale unequaled.
The argument made here, continually, by gun prohibitionists, is that the threat of mass murder by our government is totally abated, the reason for the people to be armed is outdated.
I think that if we are looking for context,and I agree that the text must have context, we have to take into consideration that we look at 200+ years of the American experiment and imagine that what we have enjoyed is the norm. The framers had a context that came from the first 5000+ of human history.
Text reads:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The text resolves the need that is identified in the first clause, by prohibiting infringements upon the people themselvs from possessing and keeping their weapons, in the second clause. The Militia is one entity, the people is a different entity. They seem to be acting as a repository for the weapons, a living armory.
For the government to regulate this entity, (a Militia of armed people), relegates them to a division of the State, which would be anathema. Otherwise, we could suppose that the National Guards would fulfill the will of the text, which no one suggests.
That is my understanding of the text.
The reason I emphasize this paradigm shift, is that the idea we are granted these rights by the Government defies the principle that the only power is to lie in the electorate.
The text creates the construct of an armed electorate.
Currently there is a wide suspicion that the Government is turned a corner & putting in place constructs that will allow itself to perpetuate itself, in defiance of the people, if they so choose to re-establish control.
The current interpretation of the text allows armament parity between state & the pe

Most won't know this, but the Internet actually peaked in 1998.
Luke Allen Hackney's Internet Thing
Most won't know this, but the Internet actually peaked in 1998.
"My original take on this scene was a loud, late night pronouncement from Lester Bangs. A call to arms. In Phil's hands it became something different. A scene about quiet truths shared between two guys, both at the crossroads, both hurting, and both up too late. It became the soul of the movie. In between takes, Hoffman spoke to no one. He listened only to his headset, only to the words of Lester himself. (His Walkman was filled with rare Lester interviews.) When the scene was over, I realized that Hoffman had pulled off a magic trick. He'd leapt over the words and the script, and gone hunting for the soul and compassion of the private Lester, the one only a few of us had ever met. Suddenly the portrait was complete. The crew and I will always be grateful for that front row seat to his genius."
Working from home this morning was the best decision I've made in a long time.
Dear Lansing,

text: Thomas, I have come across a number of posts in the past year which describe the poster's confusion about how to answer some of the faith questions on their profile. And I've read a number of threads where this topic (the confusion between practice and belief, the very thing Jerry stated) has been mentioned. The questions are not irrelevant, Thomas. They are a stepping stone or guide in this invitation of getting to know another person. The questions may be straightforward, but people's perspectives are not all the same, so their interpretation of a few words might vary from another person's readings of those few words. A person's conscience can play a factor in how he responds, say, to the question on premarital sex. He might understand that that is forbidden according to the teachings of our Church, but he also knows that he has sinned in that regard in the past. His past behavior showed that he did not accept that teaching, and the guilt he might feel over that could influence the answer he gives. If we care enough to pursue getting to know a person for other reasons, we can certainly ask them about how they answered the faith questions so that we more clearly see that person, rather than going by assumptions. A discussion on the question & answer might lead to growth on both sides of the table, which would be a very good thing, I would think.

By Dan Rodricks
Sun Staff
April 5, 2003
Few of the men, women and children who had gathered for the funeral of Marine Staff Sgt. Kendall D. Waters-Bey could understand the song, delivered in Arabic by Shiek Eugene Martin-el of the Moorish Science Temple of America, but they seemed to respond to its mysterious power and recognize the beauty of the moment.
"This is a house of God," the presiding priest, Father Joe Muth, said. "This happens to be a Catholic church, but today we gather as Christians, Muslims and Jews."
Christians, Muslims and Jews all shed tears for the young Marine from Baltimore, who died in the land of sand and blood, scarred by centuries of religious and ethnic conflict.
And they reached out to his family - Waters-Bey's father, Michael, a member of the Moorish temple; the Marine's son, 10-year-old Kenneth, who called his father a hero the day after he died in a helicopter crash near the Iraq-Kuwait border; and the Marine's mother and his four sisters, who had declared the war in Iraq uncalled-for even as they grieved for their brother. For several hours at a funeral home Thursday and for more than an hour before the service yesterday, men and women filed by the flag-cloaked coffin of the Marine, and they reached for his father, who gave big and long hugs until he was exhausted, and the little boy, who greeted mourners when his grandfather no longer seemed to have the strength.
Father Muth read from scripture as babies cried in the church. "We are your children, Lord," the priest prayed. "Bring hope, healing and peace to a broken and troubled world."
Evangelist Marion Jones sang a contemporary spiritual, and as her voice soared, women in the pews started to rock from side to side and wave their hands, and soon there were ripples of applause.
"Praise the Lord," Muth said as Jones finished.
"Praise the Lord," the people responded.
"Praise the Lord," Muth said again.
"Praise the Lord!"
A cousin of the Marine, the Billboard Top 10 jazz artist Kim Waters, stepped into the sanctuary with a saxophone and summoned from some corner of his soul the most enthralling rendition of "Amazing Grace," bluesy and jazzy, plaintive then joyous. The old song was not immediately recognizable, smothered in Waters' musical clouds, but then it came through perfectly, and the people applauded. As the song fell back to Earth and ended, the pianist who accompanied Waters slipped in a phrase from Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," and the last notes lingered in a long echo.
Now men from March Funeral Home set up a projection screen and in the dim light of the church, images from Sergeant Waters-Bey's life appeared in a series of dissolves, and the people in the church were still again.
"This is the only son I had," his father had said on television the day after the Marine died. "The only son."
And here he was - a baby in 1973, a little boy in an Easter suit, a kid in school photographs that aunts and uncles might have pinned to bulletin boards, a big brother with a sister on a slide, a smiling rascal with other children on a couch.
A woman in a black dress stood in the front of the church and left down the main aisle, weeping heavily, her hand over her mouth.
The music track with the slide show grew in intensity, and "my only son" appeared as an eager teen-ager behind the wheel of a car, as a tall and handsome young man in a prom tuxedo, as a newly minted Marine in full dress, as the smiling chief of a helicopter crew, his big right hand pressed against the side of his CH-46E Sea Knight.
By now, there were tears on cheeks everywhere in the church, and the sounds of men and women weeping, then ecstatic applause as the video ended.
Father Muth noted the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. 35 years ago, April 4, 1968. Since that awful day, Muth said, "new life came to this nation in many struggling ways."
"So hold onto God," the priest said. "New life will come."
Then Marines escorted the casket of Sergeant Waters-Bey from the church. The organist played "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," and the family followed behind. Michael Waters- Bey walked with his arm around 10-year-old Kenneth, the sergeant's only son.
