im a lover of the adidas boost technology, this is my 3rd pair & they haven't disappointed. I run most days & wear these trainers to do so, I can't wear them for fitness classes that I teach as not enough support for movement in different directions but there made for running so that's what they're best suited for. The only down side is possibly the "sock" style, I don't find that this suits & fits every foot properly. The look & design is fabulous, I ordered the black ones & they look amazing. ... read more
I am so happy with this latest generation! I have several pairs of Adidas Boosts but my favorite has always been the first generation until these came out (The Energy Boosts 2 never felt as cushiony or comfortable to me). I had to splurge on the pre-launch and I'm so glad I did! I couldn't imagine this shoe getting any better from the first generation but the Supers have blown them out of the water as far as cushion and comfort goes - for me anyway. Thank you Adidas! I'm sure I will be buying more once they are on the market again. ... read more
These shoes are absolutely fantastic and better than anything I have worn previously. I was slightly worried about the size and as has been previously stated they are slightly (and only very slightly) narrow. The thing is that it doesn't really matter because of the flexibility of the top part of the shoe. It's like wearing a really flexible sock and it moulds to the shape of your foot. I trialled them on a 7 mile run and the cherry on an already delicious cake is the sole. They are springy and bouncy and they provide strength on the hills and comfort on the flats. I cannot recommend them enough! ... read more
This is my 4th pair of boost sneakers. I have worn out 2 pairs of Energy Boosts( 1 and 2) and have one in my closet, still in the box. I bought the Ultras when they were offered at introduction a couple of weeks ago. I have worn them to work out in and run in at the gym. The extra "boost" is nice, but the overall shoe is somewhat larger than the Energy Boost 1 and 2. I like the original fit better. Glad I have an new pair of the "old" design in my closet! I hope Adidas brings back the Boost 2's in more colors and sizes. ... read more
I tried these out in a test run . I normally wear a size 8.5 in the adios boost. So I picked out and 8.5. They were EXTREMELY comfy when I first put them on. The beginning of the run was good but the shoes felt loose in the front. Halfway through the run my mid foot started to hurt. I think maybe it's just adjusting to the shoe though because it didn't hurt afterwards. When I got back to the store I tried on size 8 thinking they might fit nicer but they were sooooo narrow that it hurt just standing there. I love the shoe but don't think it fits quite right. If there was a size 8 1/4 it would be perfect! Maybe I'll try men's sizes to get some width. ... read more
These shoes are more than great!! I am a true size 8, so first I ordered 8,5 as I thought it might run big. But I was wrong, these shoes run true to size. Adidas is awesome with their return policy. I tried wearing pure boost to work for my 8 hour shift and my feet didn't hurt for the first time. Every step is like walking on the cloud - soft and nice. Some reviewer stated that these shoes look and made cheap, I do not agree, they look nice for me and anyways it doesn't matter since they provide comfort. ... read more
I love this shoe. I have been wearing the Energy Boost for the past 2 years and loved that model. So I struggled if I should try the Ultra Boost or not. I spent a few extra dollars for the Stella McCartney version because I really liked the colors and the design elements along with having full functionality for a solid running shoe. I've had a few pairs of Stella shoes in the past and they have lasted a long time. Fit: very comfortable, I have wide feed and the knit upper makes it easy on my foot; it's hard to see from the pictures, but I didn't realize that it has a sock fit where there's no tongue. I've never had a shoe like that, but it fits really nice Style/colors: very versatile to my running/work out gear and looks great to also wear around town with jeans or shorts. ... read more
I love the feel of the upper, so soft and comfortable like a slipper. The cushioning is great as well. I definitely feel more than the Energy Boost. My only disappointment ( as mentioned by others) is that the sole shows wear early. I have about 30 miles on mine and already some of the nubs have worn down. For a running shoe in this price range I would not have expected this. The cushioning many last 100s of miles but I doubt the sole will. ... read more
I am a believer! I've been running on the regular Glide Boosts for about a year now, but decided to train for a marathon (in Chicago!) this winter, so I knew I needed something that would keep me warm during the cold weather. I came across these and knew I had to have them. I wore these today on a 4 mile run through 2-4 inches of untouched snow, air temp 10 degrees, windchill below 0, and they kept my feet completely dry and toasty warm. I wore them with a pair of thin wool socks and they were perfect. I heartily recommend these to anyone crazy enough to brave the elements and run in the cold midwestern (or anywhere) winters! ... read more
I run about 30 km a week, because I feel like I have to, not because I really really love it. These shoes have made my running sooo much easier. They are super light weight and petite, but they provide amazing boost and cushioning anyways. They do have a dropped heel (the heel is lower than the front) which took some getting used to, but I feel it has given me better running technique and stronger calfs as I now tend to land on the front portion of my foot and not necessarily straight on the heel. ... read more
Buyer Beware. while these are wonderful running shoes... you need to know that if you come into the house after running in the rain, these shoes are like ICE SKATES! When wet, these have no traction at all on tile floors! ... read more
Love the feel, light and supportive. My biggest complaint is the inner sole. It's not attached, so i literally have to fully unlace and place my foot in the shoe rather than slide it in (sliding it in makes the sole crumple into the toe of the shoe). Maybe it's a defect, so i'm considering returning them for a replacement. Then i'll see if it's part of the intent or design. But overall, love the look and love the feel (as soon as the sole get's flattened out!) ... read more
I have been a fan of the "boost" from the beginning. Adidas has put it all together in this shoe.!! I had to remind myself that I could return them if they were not perfect because of the heavy price. 3 weeks in, with more than 60 miles on them, I am contemplating a 2nd pair. The fit is great; flexible yet sturdy enough to know you can train in them for the long haul... If you like the boost technology, this one is the best!! THANK YOU ADIDAS. ... read more
These are so comfortable, like little feet pillows :) They mesh-type material they are made from will make them great for hot weather, I can feel the breeze which helps keep my feet cool. I am usually a size 8.5 and these fit almost perfectly but they are just a little long in the toes. ... read more
I love my Pure Boosts - they are so light and comfortable! I wore these for a long day of being on my feet (doing everything from walking, to jumping and dancing, to just standing around) and my knees didn't hurt at the end of the day like they usually do. The soles make you feel like you're stride has some serious spring in them (I like to joke that they're my moon shoes). I definitely recommend them! I just wish they had the grey color for women :( ... read more

Looking for something lickety-split? This incredibly light road-racing shoe is the fastest in the pack, with a new eye-catching upper for fly-by style. The streamlined, asymmetric upper works with the anatomy of the foot to perfectly wrap the arch securely from start to finish.Triathlete Chrissie Wellington races in the T7 and calls it an amazing shoe! She was rocking a pair when she smashed the world record at the Ford Ironman Arizona in November.Available in men's sizes only. (For women we suggest ordering 1.5 sizes smaller than what you usually wear).Note: As this shoe is a very lightweight, minimal support racing flat, the vast majority of runners will not find it enough shoe for a full marathon. If you have a light frame and a biomechanically efficient stride, however, you may be able to get away with it. We suggest you work up to it in several half marathon-plus races beforehand to see how it works for you before running in it for a full marathon.

The present and future of the Notre Dame linebacker position were honored with a national award Monday.
Current Fighting Irish senior Manti Te'o and Bishop Luers senior Jaylon Smith were named recipients of the Butkus Award, presented annually to the nation's best prep, college and professional linebackers.
The honor is named after Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus and has been presented every year since 1985. It is chosen by a panel of more than 50 reputable scouts and sports journalists from around the country.
"Manti Te'o embodies the toughness, intensity, competitiveness and on-field demeanor of a throwback performer like Dick Butkus himself," Hub Arkush of Pro Football Weekly said in a release. "Te'o was the first ever High School Butkus winner (2008), and he has lived up to all the expectations and positioned his team for a chance at the national championship. He has been an inspiration to his team and community, and serves as a model citizen."
It proved to be a busy day for Te'o on Monday. He also accepted the Bronko Nagurski Trophy in Charlotte, N.C., which is given annually to the national collegiate defensive player of the year.
Named one of three Heisman Trophy finalists Monday, Te'o accumulated 103 tackles for the undefeated Fighting Irish. He set a Notre Dame single-season linebacker record with seven interceptions, good for second in the FBS.
Meanwhile, 6-foot-3, 220-pound Smith found out Monday via conference call that he had earned the award. The senior Notre Dame commit finished the season with 75 tackles, eight sacks and 20 tackles for loss.
Te'o is the first Notre Dame player to earn the award, while Smith represents the first time a linebacker from Indiana has been honored.

I have a welder that starts and runs fine at idle but when placed in the" run" or "run/idle" mode, will not run at high idle. I have tried tightening the govenor spring. This didn't help. If I force the govenor lever toward the carburetor it will rev up, but push right back down to idle. This is a friends welder. He brought it to me to fix because he put a brand new carb on it and while doing so he caught some leaking fuel on fire and it charred a few wires. Upon inspection the wires weren't damaged but I can't get it to run at high idle as stated before. Is there anything electronic that might tell the engine to run at high idle, or is it only mechanically controled by the govenor spring?

Just an off the wall thought and likely wrong but check to see that he got the levers on the new carb on correct and the govenor isn't shutting down the carb when it activates to open it.
I believe there is a solenoid that controls the run/idle speed. Check for power there. It should be mechanically hooked to the linkage/carb. Also check the run/idle switch that it is functioning.

In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
This article is a comprehensive study of the views of Christian author and apologist C. S. Lewis on the theory of evolution and the argument from intelligent design. It explains how he would distinguish expressly philosophical arguments for a Transcendent Mind from the current claims of the intelligent design (ID) movement to provide scientific evidence for such a reality.
In this paper, adapted from an article from Science & Christian Belief, Dr. Oliver R. Barclay compares and contrasts the biblical view of design in nature with modern design arguments.
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
Mathematics professor James Bradley looks at the design argument presented in William Dembski's book The Design Inference and offers his criticisms on the accuracy of the model.
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
In this paper, Baylor philosophy professor Francis Beckwith distinguishes between Intelligent Design (ID) and Thomistic Design (TD).
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
Foster uses biblical exegesis to explain why Intelligent Design is not the answer and refuses to accept quick answers to the deep questions about a creator god.
The literary conventions employed in Genesis chapter 1 mark it out, not as a scientific document describing material origins, but as a theological polemic against surrounding ancient Near Eastern pagan religions. Creation language here and elsewhere in Scripture is not about establishing scientific origins of material substance and structure but about covenantal establishment and worldview.
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
Harrell presents an accessible, thought-provoking exploration of evolution's witness to the God of creation.
Ken Miller's book addresses some of the key assertions of advocates of Intelligent Design.

Simon to Renae, who had just got a haircut: "Your head looks nice, Mommy. Not as bad as yesterday."
Posted 23 February 2012 - 04:27 PM
And I have sneaking suspicion that, given how much he tries to make deals and find loopholes in situations, Simon will either be a politician or a salesman. For example, he had to get shots a few weeks back, and he tried talking his way out of them by saying "Let's make a different plan. I don't need those shots because I don't get that kind of sick. I only get the phlegm."
He's also developing a bit of a sense of humor. Renae made a comment that Clara needed a bath because she was getting crusty. His response: "She's crustier than a pizza!"

The problem is he is an extremely expressive and communicative person, which has made his inability to form words well very frustrating for him. As a result, he has discovered a mechanism for communication that serves as a workaround.
He uses facial expression and body language to tell us how he is feeling and what he is thinking.
Instead of speaking, he has learned to contort his face into many different expressions that make you understand exactly what he is trying to tell you. Nothing is better than his wow face. He has different sets of exaggerated body language that mimic his current emotional state. For example, when I ask him to do a small chore that he doesn't like, he drops his head and shoulders like Charlie Brown and begins lumbering around like an old man. When frightened by something, his entire body shuffles into a request for a hug while he pointedly turns his back to the direction of his anxiety. When trying to make you laugh, he rolls into a slapstick routine with whatever is on hand. He has a little repertoire of these stock movements.
So we essentially have a little Charlie Chaplin in our house. I can't wait for him to beging talking with us, but I will always treasure this comedy he has brought into our lives.

In kindergarten, Dom journals--it's a delight to see his little one or two sentence stories, accompanied by six year old artistry. On his return home from school the day Mars died, he'd brought one of his journals home. Before my wife could break the news about Mars, Dom began to read the journal to Eric and his mom. He reached a page with the following story, accompanied by a little sketch of a blue blob and a red blob.
"I hav a red Betta fish. His name is Marz. Eric has a blu Betta fish. It is named Blu Marz."
Eric interrupted matter of factly, as if he was commenting on the day's local news. "Oh, your fish? It died."

1. The next-to-last chapter/story in A Visit from the Goon Squad is a PowerPoint presentation on pauses in rock songs prepared by a twelve year-old girl. The intricate structure struck me as a bit too precocious, and the whole exercise seemed a bit tedious. This, I suppose, was meant to give me a foretaste of what awaited Ali and I a few weeks later from our twelve year-old:
2. We just returned from vacation on Wednesday, and my 8 year-old daughter Virginia came with me to retrieve my car from the office. I went inside the building to see the volume of mail I'd received over the past week, and when it was time to leave, she exited with me, then doubled back to my office for reasons unclear to me. When I got into the office yesterday morning, I had a yellow post-it note on the edge of my desk-- usually a sign to see somebody or call somebody. It read: "I love you and can't wait to see you--Virginia." At 7:45 a.m., I was tearing up.

I am convinced that purchasing the phone for her would be a good idea. (I loved the downsell at the end where she identifies more expensive phones she does not want. Brilliant move.)

And I said the same thing to Ali, Darren-- I saw a typo and a misspelling in there, but getting the apostrophe right compensated in full.

My daughter suddenly had a surprised look on her face, and she said, "Are those real cameras? Is this REAL?" Yes, I said. "Can we go home and tell Mommy that they made this with real cameras?" Yes, I said. And so we did.
I just get a kick out of the fact that she thought the chimps and monkeys and whatnot might NOT have been real. (What, did she think it was all CGI?)

This last week, after a particularly nasty meltdown, Simon offered an explanation for his actions once he (finally) got to class…
"Well, sometimes my big brain just gets it wrong. And then when I get there, my brain turns into the right thing."

My daughter, when I asked her about a week ago if she would be interested in a summer day camp where the kids do arts and crafts: "Arts and crafts are the SAME THING! Art is when you make something, and crafts are when you make something!" She did seem a little put out by the fact that I was using seemingly redundant terminology.

To which Ian, who was outside (but not near Simon, for what it's worth), responded, as sweetly and guilelessly as you could imagine, "And then I would die."
Cue exchange of horrified looks between my wife and I while Ian just sat there, sweet as could be...

And then there's this exchange between Renae and Simon:
Renae: Simon, I love how your brain works.
Simon: Yep, my brain works pretty well!
Renae: It sure does.
Simon: My brain also helps me go really fast.
As a former editor, Renae was quite pleased that he used "well" instead of "good".

Ian: "What's that for?" (Pointing to my wedding ring.)
Me: "That's my wedding ring. I wear it to remind me how much I love Mommy and to show others that I love Mommy."
Ian: "Oh…"
Me: "Someday, when you marry a pretty lady, you'll wear a wedding ring, too."
Ian: "Yeah, when I marry Mommy."
Me: "You can't marry Mommy because I'm already married to her. You'll need to marry another pretty lady."
Ian: "Like Rowan's mommy." (Rowan is one of his buddies at church.)

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

This conversation is closed.
Let's upload photos of Afghanistan from those among us who were lucky enough to visit it during peace time.
In another TED conversation led by a young person from Afghanistan, he (?) asked the community what we'd like to be able to see in the future. He himself has never seen peace in his country and wished to see this, above all.
I'm too young to have gone there myself in peace time, but I have met older Japanese people who said they were tourists in the 1970s and visited the markets of Kabul and the buddha statues in Bamyan. They regret so much having lost this part of the world. I'm going to ask them to share their photos! Those of us outside Afghanistan hold all these lovely memories of it, sadly locked away--forever? I thought the TED community MUST have some photos somewhere to share...
This country has been put on hold for 30 years. And the younger generation in and outside of it have no memory of it, really, of being anything but a warzone, wasteland. We have such a strong digital culture and digital memory now. Why not "create" an Afghanistan that we want? I created a page that anyone can post on--do you know of anyone who remembers a peaceful Afghanistan in this lifetime? I think it would be nice for young, Internet-connected Afghans to look at :)
A few non-Facebook people have contributed already from Japan and the UK:
Jan 15 2013: What an interesting idea. When a country has experienced conflict for many decades, whole generations grow up with no concept of peace. Hearing positive stories about the past may help provide a positive vision for their future.
John Smith
Jan 8 2013: Unfortunately Afghanistan has been in a state of war since before I was born but I found some pictures from the "hippie trail" glory days and before that:

http://www.retronaut.co/2010/10/once-upon-a-time-in-afghanistan/ (this series was in foreign policy magazine behind a pay wall)
I must say these are mostly from the cities which enjoyed Persian civilization, rural areas were just as backwards as they are today.
Jan 9 2013: Thank you! These were so interesting to look through!Feb 2 2013: Sad no pictures of women in Hijab back then ?
greg dahlen
Jan 8 2013: Seems like a great idea. I think it's worth recognizing that even when a country has some war within, there is still some joy for the people there, some satisfaction in life, some creativity and self-expression.

Jan 8 2013: Hi Kate, how awesome would that be? :) It's worth a try, for sure! It's important to revive this Paradise Lost in our lifetime, I think :)
Hippies were great at passing on messages, sharing and community building! It's a revival :)Jan 8 2013: (while you're at it Kate, document those photos and slides from "Iran, Irag, Jordon and Syria in 1976"--I'm sure that recollection is coming! :) What an amazing year you must have had! What can compare now?)

Afghanistan is a beautiful place with beautiful people. A pity, hate has affected life of innocents for too long now...

But unfortunately I am away from my photo file. I will say that the period in which I was there was when the Russian were there to it wasn't "Peaceful" for them but as Canadian I couldn't walk down Chicken street without being called to "Take Chi" with the shop keepers again and again. Afghanistan and its people were and are wonderful it is oly the enormous Drug demands of Europe and America that give the wrong tribal leaders their $$ and therefore power. And that includes the current President who plays the USA for a chump.
Jan 7 2013: I know it's a probably a gargantuan effort to dig up and scan those old photos. But, it is really, a time lost at this point, that can be rebuilt in a way...I hope you're near your photo file sometime soon! Wanna see it! :)
(I've already tracked down a few amazing documentations!)Jan 29 2013: Thanks Denis, I got your message(s)! Can't wait to see them! Last night, a man who lived there in 66-86, posted dozens of this other-worldly time and place on the FB page. Thanks for tracking some more down :)Jan 28 2013: Great idea! I have a friend who just spent a month doing an amazing photography project in Afghanistan. I will make the connection, her photos are phenomenal!Jan 14 2013: The Soviet war in Afghanistan lasted nine years from December 1979 to February 1989. The reason the Russians intervened is because of the influx of multi-national insurgent groups called the mujahideens. I don't know if you now much about these people. These warriors were trained and provided for by China, Pakistan, the United States and Saudi Arabia, to name a few. There has never been a settled time in Afghanistan since the end of WWII, that I know of. Always turmoil with the lot of the population there.
The ultimate reason for the conflict is unknown to me. I think it may have something to do with Opium.
There are no peaceful pictures of that place since before the start of WWI.
It is still, not a place to visit for curiosities sake. Stay away.Jan 10 2013: That's amazing! Maybe one day I will visit despite the danger.Jan 9 2013: Interesting, however, I am 63 years og age and am unable to recall when there ever was a "peace time" in Afhganistan in that time.
Pray tell what time frame are you refering too ?
Jan 9 2013: I think the country, especially in the rural areas, has always been unstable and crushingly poor. But in the mid 1970s, Kabul and its surrounding areas were accessible, and relatively safe for foreign travellers. These people are who I'm trying to find. I've tracked down some already: https://www.facebook.com/TheAfghanistanIKnow
Please ask around, in case you might know of people who've saved their photos!

Jan 8 2013: Great stuff. We've left a comment on the Facebook wall and will get to work on building out the gallery. Looking forward to this - it's a great idea!Jan 8 2013: Unfortunately, I have never known peace in that area of the world. Pictures of what once was would be amazing! Great conversation!
- 0
Jan 8 2013: It's like that for me too, but I've met people my parents' age from North America and Europe who've gone, and I was so surprised that that was such a possibility once! For some reason, it is as unlikely as the moon-landing is today :/
Maybe ask around your circles? If not for this, then just to learn of amazing things that once were! :)
Jan 8 2013: It is just sad that the Middle East is thrown into such turmoil all the time. I fear that place will never know a true peace.
But I will definitely look! Not sure if I will have much luck though lol.
jay wax
Jan 7 2013: Genevieve, this is a great idea! One of my start-ups, The Pre-Digital Project, would love to help you in your effort. We are working on creating a site where people can upload, preserve and share pre-digital photographs like the ones you are hoping to collect here. We can create a special gallery and do a few other nifty things. Let me know if you're interested!

Jan 8 2013: I'm interested! This conversation is up for a month...I'm afraid that people might disband and forget about it after it is closed :( I'll look through your site and learn how to do it (and email you if I'm confused). I'd like to put up the instructions ASAP in the header so that people can know what to do, if they manage to dig things up!
Thanks for the suggestion!Jan 7 2013: I wish I had the pictures of the glorious past; but more importantly I hope we'll learn that there is so much to lose to war.
Let's seek peace and pursue it.

The Defense Department is dealing with long-term budget reductions by working more closely with international partners and continuously improving performance, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics told an international audience Sept. 5.
Frank Kendall delivered the opening address, titled International Partnerships for Coalition Success, at ComDef 2012, a conference of government and industry representatives from more than 25 countries.
Enduring partnerships are critical "in an austere time when we have fewer resources ourselves [and] we have to look to others to work with us," Kendall said.
"I have spent more time with my partners than I realized I would spend in this job, and all for very good reasons," he added.
"We have very strong partnerships, we're building some of those to be even stronger, and we are forging new partnerships around the world with nations that share our values and our security interests," said the undersecretary, whose responsibilities include acquisition, research and engineering, contract administration, logistics and the defense industrial base.
At DOD, he said, "dominating our conversations right now are budget reductions and their implications and how we're going to handle them," Kendall said, adding that he couldn't give a speech without addressing sequestration.
The 2011 Budget Control Act is a U.S. federal statute that seeks to reduce the national deficit. Sequestration is a mechanism built into that act to trigger a half-trillion-dollar cut to defense spending over the next 10 years if Congress doesn't otherwise identify spending reductions the act requires. This is in addition to $487 billion in cuts over 10 years that DOD already is making and that are accounted for in a new defense strategy released in January.
Kendall told that conference that during his confirmation hearing, he told senators sequestration would have a devastating impact on the department. Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has talked about it as a "meat ax approach," he added.
"Even if you feel the need to reduce the size of our budget and cut defense," the undersecretary told the conferees, "doing it the way sequestration does it – and that's really our biggest problem with it – is really a very bad way to do it."
The way sequestration works makes having a plan to execute it irrelevant, the undersecretary said.
"If we have a budget, there are roughly 2,500 lines in that budget, and we have to cut each of them [by the same amount]," he added. "There are 2,500 lines — take about 11 percent out of each one."
Defense officials have been trying to understand the effects of such cuts on the force and on programs, Kendall said. One effect will be on overseas contingency operations, or OCO – money that's appropriated for fighting in Afghanistan – which will be included in sequestration cuts, he added.
"So OCO is hit, prior-year obligated funds are hit, [and] all [DOD funding for fiscal year 2013] is hit, whether it's been obligated or not," Kendall said.
If the government must operate under a continuing resolution rather than a budget, he added, "which is the probable course, we'll have to go back and figure out a way to get a net of about 11 percent out of those lines as well."
The Defense Department has not created a detailed plan, the undersecretary said, in part because not much planning is required.
"We have looked at a few samples of programs and different areas," Kendall explained, "and it varies from being relatively easy to absorb, where you're simply doing a level of effort that's a little bit lower, to something that's fairly significant in its impact on contracts, like multiyear [contracts], for example, that are already in place."
If the department is asked to prepare a more detailed plan, it will, but Pentagon officials are counting on Congress to avoid the need for sequestration," he said.
The problem, Kendall added, is that sequestration "doesn't allow us to prioritize. It doesn't allow us to find the things that are least important to us. It doesn't allow us to avoid some of the damage that will be done by this kind of a mechanism."
His own priorities as undersecretary, Kendall said, include ending the war in Afghanistan, creating affordable defense programs, boosting defense efficiencies, promoting innovation and reducing bureaucracy.
"We're still engaged in Afghanistan, and we have a lot to do there," he said. "We're still involved with a broad coalition and with the [Afghans] to bring the war to a successful conclusion, and [we still have to] execute the retrograde operation as we pull our people and equipment out of the country."
Kendall, who was deeply involved in the effort to remove U.S. forces from Iraq, called the end of the war in Iraq "a piece of cake compared to what we have to do in Afghanistan."
The conflict in Afghanistan will be ongoing to a greater extent than it was in Iraq, he added, "and we have a much more difficult logistics job ahead of us." Also, he said, the expense of resetting the equipment as it comes home is a factor. But Kendall praised the partnerships that have been built in Afghanistan over a decade of war.
The Defense Department has a long history of starting projects that it could not afford, Kendall acknowledged. But over the past two years, he said, the department has been forcing programs to put cost caps on programs up front "so they're designed to a cost cap and requirements are traded off in order to stay within an affordable cost."
Kendall said the department has used that approach on programs such as the Air Force's new long-range strike bomber, the Army's new ground combat vehicle and the Navy's replacement for the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine.
On efficiencies, Kendall said he's a big believer in continuous improvement. He noted that he worked with his predecessor Ashton B. Carter — who now serves as deputy defense secretary — to build momentum in that regard.
"The Better Buying Power initiative that Dr. Carter and I rolled out two years ago was essentially an attempt to get at efficiencies through a number of best practices," he said, adding that he soon will roll out a new version of the program that incorporates adjustments to strengthen the program while keeping its focus on controlling cost growth and placing strong emphasis on competition – including a more open attitude to international approaches.
On innovation, Kendall said the department should look more to new technologies and to more commercial practices. And removing bureaucratic barriers will be a continuing emphasis.
"I don't want to make excuses for anybody," Kendall said. "The Defense Department can do better – we can do a lot better – and we're going to continue to work to make sure that happens."

|VT Foliage, Antiques, Antiques, and Antiques . . .
Two fall traditions in Vermont are foliage "leaf peeping" and antique shows. There are other activities as well this busy weekend so let's get started:
(Quick aside: the weather this weekend will be very nice: mostly sunny and day time temperatures in the upper 50's F. The evenings will be cool with temperatures in the high 30's F. Bring some warm clothes especially if you plan to spend time at upper elevations.)
The next two to three weeks you can see some incredible color on the mountainsides and valleys. I have talked with a large number of people here and read in several VT blogs that this year's foliage display may be one of the best ever. I am very surprised at the large amount of red leaves I'm seeing. All the colors are bright. I'm sure we'll be talking about this year's Vermont foliage for years to come.
A fun way to to see the foliage is to get out of the car and into the fresh air on a ski area chair lift. It's an exhilarating experience that you will remember for a long time. Many ski areas offer this service. Just ask your innkeeper where the nearest ski area is that's offering rides - they are located all over the state.
Vermont's largest ski area, Killington is offering foliage chair rides, a Brewfest on Saturday, and hosting ABC's Good Morning America live broadcast on Sunday.
The 13th Annual Killington Brewfest features displays of microbreweries and craft breweries from Vermont and other New England states. It starts at 1:00 pm and goes to 6:00 pm.
Good Morning America LIVE from Killington Peak will start broadcasting Marysol Castro's weather reports and Vermont feature segments from 6 am to 9 am. You can take a free ride on the K-1 Gondola and get a FREE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST atop Killington Peak. They are encouraging people to attend so they will have an enthusiastic background audience just as they do in New York City. In fact, bring your homemade cardboard signs, jump up and down, and see if you can get on national television. It's a great way to see foliage, get entertained and fed, all for free. The view from Killington Peak includes five states and Canada on a clear day.
There are two antiques shows in northern VT this weekend and a bunch in southern VT.
The New England Antiques Show formerly presented the antiques show at the Champlain Expo fairgrounds but it has moved this year to Burlington Sheraton Exhibit Center. I don't know the politics behind this move (looks like somebody got mad at someone else) but now there are two major antique shows in Burlington on the same weekend.
The Champlain Valley Exposition and Vermont Public Television are presenting the Vermont Antique Expo and Sale October 4 and 5. The weekend will feature sales, seminars and exhibits on a wide array of antiques and related topics. Located at the Champlain Valley Exposition , 105 Pearl Street in Essex Junction, Vermont. They are expecting about 60 dealers.
The New England Antique Show is being held Saturday and Sunday at the Burlington Sheraton, 870 Williston Road, Burlington, VT. It's easy to find: just take Exit 14W (make sure it is West exit, not the East exit) from I-89. The Sheraton is the large building on your right.
The WESTON ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Weston Playhouse in the middle of the village. As they point out, there have 220 dealers and four other antique shows within a 20 minute drive the same weekend. This is their 50th year. I like their slogan too: "Go green...collecting and using antiques is the ultimate recycling." Weston is also home to the Vermont Country Store where you can find modern versions of a lot of antique products - the kind of items you did not think were made any more.
The OKEMO ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow VT . The Preview is Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and the show is Saturday 10am to 5pm.
A few minutes away, the 44th annual LUDLOW ANTIQUES SHOW is being held at the Black River High School with the from Preview Friday, 7 - 9 pm and the show Sat 10am - 5pm.
The 31st annual BROMLEY MOUNTAIN ANTIQUES SHOW will have 30 country dealers at the Bromley Ski Area Base Lodge on Route 11, Peru VT
Preview Sat 8 - 10am, Show Sat 10am - 4pm, Show Sun 10am - 4pm.
The 24th annual ANTIQUES IN VERMONT show will be at the Riley Rink, Route 7A North, Manchester Center VT Sat Preview 8 - 10am and Sat Show 10am - 4pm.
If you are looking for some non-shopping activity, how about apple picking at Shelburne Orchards . There are 80 acres of apple trees, including 10 acres of organic apple trees. It is located a little south of Burlington VT on Orchard Road off Route 7.
There is a large Craftsproducers Festival at Hildene VT October 3, 4, and 5 that will have 200 artists and artisans displaying and selling their products, all made by the artists - no imports in other words. The show is in heated Camelot tents.
Along with the crafts, the festival has fresh food and live entertainment. The VERMONT CHEESE, BEER, AND SAUSAGE TENT will be the center of a food festival within the craft festival. More than a dozen micro brews will be available, plus a variety of Vermont cheeses, sausages, and wine will be available.
The nearby town of Manchester is full of designer outlet stores and it is the home of Orvis, the American Museum of Flyfishing next to the Orvis store, and the famous Battenkill River.
The QUECHEE VILLAGE 18th Annual Fall Foliage Crafts Fair will be October 4 and 5.
Nearby in Woodstock VT is the Billings Farm & Museum, a great place to take the kids. It has events year around. The one this weekend is the annual Pumpkin and Apple Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 & 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There will be an apple taste test, hands-on apple pressing to make cider, pumpkin and apple ice cream, apple races, pumpkin bowling, apples-on-a-string, pumpkin Legos® (what do you suppose that is?), making apple butter being in the farmhouse kitchen, and more. The pumpkin display includes white, blue, and striped pumpkins with explanations about this "hearty, nourishing, and versatile vegetable, first cultivated 9,000 years ago." Horse-drawn wagon rides are included with admission. Your kids will love it and you will be impressed with the quality of this facility. I highly recommend this event for families.

|Vermont Fine Wood Furniture Festival in Woodstock
The Vermont Fine Furniture and Woodworking Festival is being held this weekend, Sept 27 and 28, in the central Vermont village of Woodstock. Look for the high school on Route 4 west of the village. Very good directions are on the website too.
The website also lists about 45 Vermont furniture and wood craftsmen including links to their websites. There are some great looking furniture being made here in Vermont so stop by the show if you can or shop from home if you cannot travel to Vermont this weekend.
If addition to the furniture festival, you'll get to visit Woodstock VT which is not only one of the prettiest villages in New England, I think it is one of the best looking in the country. It is located a few minutes east of Exit 1, Interstate 89 near White River Junction VT.

|Vermont Wine and Harvest Festival Sept 26 - 28
This event is a good way to meet some friendly Vermonters
The Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce and Vermont Life Magazine are hosting the Vermont Life Wine and Harvest Festival this weekend, September 26 - 28 in the southern Vermont towns of Dover, Wilmington, and Whitingham. The event is aimed at being a showcase for the best of Vermont wines, specialty foods, and artists.
Activities kick off with a Welcome to Vermont Bluegrass Party and BBQ on Friday evening at the Matterhorn Inn in West Dover. On Saturday the main festival runs from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at juncture of Routes 9 E and 100 S next to the White House Inn in Wilmington, VT. There will also be live music including the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Brass Trio Fanfare and other bands, plus a Vermont Life food writers discussion panel with book signing opportunities. That evening there will be wine pairing dinners at some of the local restaurants (reservation required - most of them are already booked - see the website for details).
Sunday starts with an Indigenous Vermonter Breakfast sponsored by Vermont Smoke and Cure and hosted by the Deerfield Valley Sportsman Club in Whitingham from 8:00 to 11:00 am.
The Mount Snow Valley is popular destination for people visiting Vermont and this weekend will be a great time to see an extra dash of fall foliage to make it event better.
While you are in the area, also look for 25 "Vermonster" outdoor sculptures created by Vermont artists using new, found or recycled Vermont materials displayed around the area.
There is also a local scarecrow competition and a home tour of some of the area's finer country homes on Saturday.

|Stowe Oktoberfest Sept 26 - 28
Right now, work is underway to convert Stowe's Jackson Arena municipal skating rink into a Bavarian village for this year's Oktoberfest, September 26, 27 and 28. It's one of the village's most popular events for both tourists and locals.
The entire family is invited. There will be lots of Otter Creek craft brewed beer, German foods including bratwurst and knockwurst, American foods such as hotdogs and chicken, live music and dancing, pumpkin and face painting, Saturday morning parade, raffles, games, craft booths, and general merriment.

|National Hunting and Fishing Day Open House at Beagle Wear
Fishing and hunting are a big part of Vermont's heritage. For most native Vermonters, hunting is a tradition going back generations. There are many people here who take a week or two of vacation each year to go deer hunting. The regional radio station, WDEV, even broadcasts a few minutes each morning from a deer camp nearby once deer season opens.
VT deer hunting season is coming in the near future and the timing of the National Hunting and Fishing Day is well placed. To celebrate, Beagle Outdoor Wear is holding its annual open house at its store in Johnson VT , about 45 minutes north of us. The event goes from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and features some of the northeast's best hunters such as the Benoit Brothers and Bob Howe from Maine's Pine Grove Lodge.
Everyone is invited to this family event especially young people and adult newcomers who are interested in learning more about outdoor sports and how hunting and fishing affect Vermonts wildlife.
Also attending the event will be VT Fish & Wildlife officials , Kingdom Knives, Outdoors Magazine, Iron Skillet Seasonings, VT Federation of Sportsmen, and the VT Big Game Trophy Club. Beagle Wear will be displaying their jackets and other clothing, some of which will be on sale. Plus, there will be a barbecue and door prizes.
Beagle Wear is traditional VT outdoor clothing manufactured in the USA and guaranteed for life. The company store is open most days but if you can't visit Vermont, you can order from their website.

Many people at xda make tar's from update.zip files. Maybe there is a way to make update.zip cwm flashable files from odin flashable tar files.
I could never get Heimdall to work properly. I wound up flashing my ROM directly from ADB instead:

Notable Storylines
Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo
This story arc, involving Beaver and Steve's unfeasible adventure at the Zoo, features Steve's first known experience with pandas, poisonous bears, and evil beavers. Steve's experience at the zoo ends in disaster when he fails to follow Beaver's advice: "Penguins belong in the zoo."
Rupert Hits The Town
When Rupert T. Roach, enlarged as a result of exposure to microwave radiation, starts destroying large buildings, it's up to Beaver and Steve to stop him. Their quest to find a shoe large enough to defeat the giant Rupert inevitably leads them to the Shoe Goblin, who has an evil agenda of his own...
Steve's Unfeasible Afterlife Adventure
When Steve is tragically killed by Beaver's flimsy anvil shelf, he must find his way through the netherworld. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like he's going to the "good place..."
Meanwhile, Beaver befriends Stu, who bears uncanny similarities to Steve. Stu appears to be a better friend than Steve in every possible way, but soon turns out to be "too good to be true". Anyhoo, in the end, Beaver manages to revive Steve using his toy voodoo kit and they have a happy ending. Until the delivery of bees arrives, that is.
When somebody eats all of his Sugar Frosted Bamboo Puffs, Steve attempts to catch the culprit red-handed, but instead discovers a full-scale panda infestation in their kitchen. They soon find the nest and inside it, the Panda queen. Beaver nearly manages to solve the infestation problem via diplomacy, but Steve refuses to leave it like that and decides to interpret the meaning of "diplomacy" in his own kind of way...
Beaver vs Steve
The first guest comic storyline in Beaver and Steve, made by Stan. The story involves gigantic-sized Beaver and Steve destroying a large city (possibly inspired by the end of the "Rupert hits the town" storyline.) and a mayor and a general trying to stop them. After the mayor fails to cope with the problem, the general declares martial law and gets full power, only to be revealed to have planned it all along - The gigantic Beaver and Steve were actually robots controlled by the general. After making the robots self-destruct, the general is praised as a hero, while the mayor's story ends in front of the firing squad.
The storyline was surrounded by much controversy - by taking a slightly more serious theme and not including a punchline in each episode, many complained about this guest series deviating too much from the traditional Beaver and Steve style and the story progressing too slowly. But what many neglected to take into account was the fact that they were given five strips a week instead of the usual two and without Stan, there would have been no new comics during the period, as James was busy moving.
