Arboretum Main Menu
Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate'
Welcome to the Arboretum
Welcome to the Armstrong State University Arboretum. The Arboretum encompasses Armstrong's 268-acre campus and displays a wide variety of shrubs and other woody plants. Developed areas of campus contain native and introduced species of trees and shrubs. Most are labeled. Natural areas of campus contain plants typical in Georgia's coastal broadleaf evergreen forests such as live oak, southern magnolia, red bay, horse sugar and sparkleberry. Several plant collections have been established in the Arboretum, including a Camellia Garden, Conifer Garden, Fern Garden, Ginger Garden, Primitive Garden and an International Garden. The Arboretum is open to the public seven days a week during the daylight hours.
The Armstrong Arboretum is attracting quite a bit of attention. Check out Savannah Morning News' article on savannahnow.com.

My mother, who is disabled and has been in a nursing home, is moving in with my family. We're happy to have her, but nervous. All we know is that she will require more care than we can provide, and that we will all have to make adjustments in our own lives. Where can we go for help and advice?
Tara Nykaza, RN, of United Visiting Nurse Association, responds:
Many health matters can change a family's lifestyle—from the birth of a baby to injuries from a car accident to a diagnosis of chronic disease. As a home healthcare nurse, one of my most important jobs is to help people get the highest quality of life that they can. There are many community resources available to help. Here are some things I often remind people to think about as they cope with family health changes:
Will the family need health services at home? Your mother may benefit from physical, emotional, or mental assessment; intravenous (IV) medications; or physical therapy in your home.
Will the family need some part-time help around the house, or live-in help ? Life might be easier if you have assistance with daily matters such as housework, meals, driving to medical appointments.
How are family finances likely to be affected? For instance, does your mother have investments or bank accounts that you will need to manage? Will you need to change your own financial plans?
Will the home need to be remodeled? In your case, to make it easier for your mother to get around in it? She may need a wheelchair ramp, special bathroom equipment, wider doorways, or a bedroom on the ground floor, for example.
It's wise to consider end-of-life decisions before they are actually needed. Should a living will be created? Might there someday be a need for hospice care, or home-hospice care? Your mother may want to state her wishes about these matters.
An Adult Day Care Program can helpful. Might this be a problem-solver for you—daily, or just when you need to be out of town, or when you simply require some relief from caregiver responsibilities?
After a time, many families find they are unable to continue care for their loved one at home. If your mother's needs become more complex, you may want to consider the different levels of assisted living residences and nursing homes.
These are just a few of the decisions you might need to make. Finding resources and answers to these questions in advance will make life more relaxed and happier for your family and your mother.
United Visiting Nurse Association offers personalized Needs Assessments at no cost, to help you in situations like this. A nurse will visit you at home, at work, at a nursing home, or wherever you wish, to do a room-to-room safety check, to help you determine what kinds of assistance you will need, and to guide you to resources that can handle the questions above, and many more. For information or an appointment, please call 203-330-5527.

I went to high school with Valerie Repp. We lost touch after I graduated. I think of her every time my kids or grandkids talk about Batman. We used to sit on the bus and talk about things on Batman that I remembered. The kids were excited that chief O'Hara's daughter rode our bus. I just wanted to say hello if she's around. Thanks, Deborah

Hi Nancy
Doug Wheatcroft was my godfather. I notice you leave flowers for him. Did you know him?
His daughter Maureen contacted me yesterday for the first time ever. He died when she was only 8 years old. I'm looking for people who might have known him.

The Three Most Intriguing Words in Goodling's Testimony
Marty Lederman
"within the Department"
The real action was in the White House, and one cannot determine whether the removals were made for improper reasons unless one knows what Rove and Miers advised the President, and why they did so.
Goodling testified today that she received no direction from Rove or Miers concerning the fired US Attorneys.
Me thinks you parse too much.
Bart: to be precise, I believe Goodling said that she never had any "discussions" with them, but she wasn't asked and didn't say if she (1) was present when they were discussing such matters with someone else or (2) exchanged or was copied on emails with them about these issues (maybe the mysteriously missing Rove RNC emails?)
Feels like there are some amusing parallels to the Iglesias-inspired "Few Good Men." Bush/Cheney/Rove order the "code red" to get rid of these attorneys, it percolates down to the underlings through Miers/Gonzo, and so Goodling can say she never got a direct order from the WH, even though she likely knows thats where they were ultimately getting direction from
Goodling testified today that she received no direction from Rove or Miers concerning the fired US Attorneys.
Me thinks You think too little.
Gonzales - I didn't make the list.
Goodling - I didn't make the list.
McNulty - I didn't make the list.
I think it is becoming obvious that Rove and Harriet made the list.
Come on man and open your eyes. What good are they if you don't use them.
And, of course, Marty is correct.
She did say she wasn't aware of anyone IN THE DEPARTMENT who suggested political retaliation.
You think that was an accident?
Maybe, but we long ago moved past TRUST with this administration and now it's only VERIFY because they have proven themselves to be lying, sacks of ethics free shit.
Also, even if Bart's right, that doesn't mean Goodling's telling the truth. That's why you question other witnesses, to expose inconsistencies. If someone can stop witnesses from testifying, that creates the room to lie.
Thomas: I thought that might be what she had in mind -- but in that case, the obvious thing to have written would have been "within the Executive branch."
I watched some of her performance today. Goodling was much less annoying than the ignoramous Repbulicans fawning over her and trying to run the clock. But she was too coy to be credible. She's my wife's age, graduated from law school the same year. Thanks to the competence of Artur Davis, it seems pretty clear that she knows well more than she let on.
"within this department"
how similar is this to:
"this program"
This reminds me of quantum particles; if you know their location, you can't know their spin, and if you know their spin, you can't know the location.
"Goodling testified today that she received no direction from Rove or Miers concerning the fired US Attorneys.
"Me thinks you parse too much.
"#posted by Bart DePalma : 8:32 PM:
Methinks you fudge too damned much; so much so that ultimately nothing you have to say is worth reading --
Goolding also testified that there was conscious effort by McNulty to avoid having the issue of the White House role in the matter arise.
I could suggest that you, Bart, are dumb; but it is obvious that you aren't that. So as for the sole alternative thereto, let the record show a long silnce . . .
The question is why others tolerate your constant insults to not only their intelligence, but to the intelligence of the entire human race, including all that part already gone, and all that part not yet having arrived.

Comments On Feb 07, 2015:Much better looking than the stock fender on an XR. I wish it came in red, but white will do. Just add some stickers. Sticker = HP anyway.------
The fender looks good and is sturdy. I have a brake light mounted under the fender since my XR is converted to road use. Gotta keep it legal. The fender had held up great even with the extra weight of the light on it. It doesn't flex/bounce around off road.-----
I took a tumble down a 30ft embankment and the fender did break! The mounting bolts on the top got pulled through the fender and the fender cracked. Took the bolts out, push the fender back down and boom back to normal, other than the small cracks you can't tell it broke. Still very sturdy and no need to replace the fender yet. I just need to avoid driving off cliffs.

Debate: The Millennial generation has no hope.
For: Stagnating economies, rising youth unemployment and an attitude of entitlement (vs. head down and get on with it) means twenty somethings' futures look bleak.
Against: The digital revolution means anyone with a good idea can make it happen. Financial success isn't everything and actually this audience can follow their interests instead of having to follow a corporate career ladder. Finally in emerging markets such as India, there is a lot more possibility.
Oct 12 2012: The Millennial generation will collapse with the baby boomers debt on their backs. All the while thinking "They're the adults, they know better, they took care of us, now we take care of them." Never knowing they didn't take care of you, they gave you some of the worst schooling in human history, they didn't invest in your economy, they didn't pay for their benefits, and they erased your constitution.
The question is, after the collapse, will hope start rebuilding? Probably... Human beings are survivors, and we have insane access to information. In short... A sustainable economy, won't pay back the debts of an unsustainable one... but if we create a sustainable economy... What a great problem to have.
Oct 15 2012: Agreed..
What made some people think that this generation has no hope is no excuse.
We are part of twigs of the tree that has been growing over many many years.
While doing our best to get some intellectual nourishment from it, we need to connect ourselves with other trees that grow upside down.Oct 12 2012: Problems are not new in the world; and every generation faces its peculiar challenges.
Those who ask the right questions will focus on the things that are helpful in the quest for solutions.
Those who focus on the gloom and doom will sink deeper into hopelessness and despair.Oct 12 2012: the future might look bleak, but all the listed problems can be solved within years. all we need is stop acting stupid and wise up. how to achieve this, i don't know.
Oct 12 2012: The fact that the present has no solution for future problems is the pessimist's main argument. No wonder none of them has ever been right about anything.

Oct 15 2012: TV can only show the amazing stuff within earshot of the producers. That limited world gets all the attention. This creates the illusion of a very limited world. Small successes cultivate greater ones. TV only shows the great ones that sell commercials.
- +1
A very long time ago, way before TV, some very wise people wrote a book of wisdom and of life rules to live by called proverbs. They didn't get paid to do it. These books can be found in many bibles. After you read those including Sirac and Eccliasticus too (they may be spelled slightly differently). You will find what the most important thing to acquire in life is. I could tell you, but then you wouldn't take the necessary journey. Once you take that journey you will have wisdom, knowledge and __________ and hope.
That _____________ is more valuable than diamonds or gold.Oct 13 2012: No hope is good.
Hope is a false-concept belief, just like faith or god.
All we know, can know, is what we find out and the best way to do that is by doing.
Nothing is gained by hoping, that is why hope is leaned on, because one doesn't know.
Same as faith.
Knowing is different. The main thing we can all know, is that if we take action and instruct and teach by our action and example, then those to whom the future looks bleak, can learn that what they have to do, is to take action and do. Find something that they can do and then do it and show others so they can find something to do. Then they will know what will happen and will be kept busy in the meantime.
If we are all going to suffocate, starve, eat others, be eaten, or whatever, the only way to empower oneself is to take action to help, support, comfort and fight for what we know needs to be done. That might be the only empowerment we get.
I think the greatest source of invention is the mind/heart of mankind. Sometimes we need a story more than food.
Oct 14 2012: Re: "Knowing is different. The main thing we can all know, is that if we take action and instruct and teach by our action and example, then those to whom the future looks bleak, can learn that what they have to do, is to take action and do."
Sounds like a hopeful faith statement to me... :-)
Re: "Sometimes we need a story more than food."
Yep... "Man does not live on bread alone..." :-)

yes ,whlle there are too many people they just say bread is avililable .milk is aviliable .good .
meanwhile they say no to books and they say on to issues .this is not well.right ?how can we live a life without wards and questionsOct 15 2012: Okay Arkady.
Nothing is perfect. When I first told someone that I didn't believe in hope, they replied,
"well, I guess there's hope in that." :)
I had to admit that in one way they were right. :) But, nothing is perfect but I never see anything gained or achieved by hoping. There must be a doing or some kind of action.
But, that's just me. Thanks very much for your comment. Appreciate it.
Oct 15 2012: Now you humble yourself and confess your sins... I've seen people excommunicated from atheism for doing that. :-)
I appreciate your reaction to my post. I have faith in laughing at myself and I encourage others to do so. I see hope when people do it :-).Oct 15 2012: Good point, Hope itself accomplishes nothing. Only action achieves results.
And yet, sometimes hope is the only motivation to take action.
Oct 17 2012: HI Barry.
I like that. "Hope is a motivator".
Still, the action has to follow, me thinks.Oct 15 2012: Hope is different than faith. Faith pushes forward blindly. Hope understands its limitations and give purpose to working hard.Oct 13 2012: I am a big champion of empowerment. The Millennial generation will triumph like all its previous predecessors. The greatest source of invention is need and mankind has never needed so much. I agree that most systems of governance are unsustainable and eventually this means that a global conflict of epic proportions will occur. Enjoy peace while it lasts... Perspective changes based on experience, and value correlates to the allowable term of probability. A lot of voices that state that the status quo is in absolute shambles, these are those who choose to be victims and whine. Appreciation belong to those who have a continuous vision of progression, are proactive in making a difference and taking the next step forward no matter whether it is minuscule or gargantuan. We as a specie just like every other living organism will always be, have always been on the brink of disaster, that is the price of progress. There is no point in labelling generations and pointing fingers of blame, just as all adults have once been a baby, collectively we will rise and learn to walk, run and fly without fail.

Oct 12 2012: I think young people have their greatest chance of leading satisfying and meaningful lives if they do not consider the decades ahead with a sense of hopelessness because the economy has been bleak. I cannot help but consider generations that weathered the Great Depression or the survivors of concentration camps whose lives may not have unfolded in a way that corresponds closely to the path they expected or the path of their childhood dreams but who did over the decades live satisfying and meaningful lives. It is fruitful and productive, I think, for the young, and for all of us, to take a longer term view, though it is human nature to focus over much on the present and recent.Oct 12 2012: What is the source of the apathy?
- +1
Oct 12 2012: The fact that the United States doesn't have a Constitution anymore, and no other country has written a better one to replace it. So there is not a single free state on the planet, and there is no empty land left.
Oct 12 2012: Don't bogart that joint. In other words before you look for reality relief, look at who causes the apathy.
Oct 13 2012: David did explain the apathy. Without a written constitution's protections, there can be no freedom. Without freedom, there is little hope.
When our economic system makes money more valuable than people (as it does), and when our economic system (as it works in the USA) with its wealth disparity makes it nearly impossible to go from lower to middle class, where is hope?
When the mainstream religion (in the USA) demotes women to that of something less than a man, and denies her the right to own her own body - thus forcing her to accept slavery in the name of God - and forcing her to accept responsibility for a child she cannot adequately provide for - where is hope?
When our educational systems (that exist as a subsidy for mega corporations) do not educate, we become indoctrinated into the view that people are the servants (slaves) to money. where is hope?
When people call their slavery "freedom", there can be no freedom, and without freedom, hope is cruel.Oct 13 2012: Yes you are right apathy is better... but don't bogart that joint.
Perception is reality. What they have you perceiving is there is no constitution. There is although the current POTUS is trying like hell to subjugate it to his executive orders. But he can only do it if we don't get up on our hind legs and fire his ass. Along with the rest who won't cut spending our money, our future remember they work for us not the other way around. Which means you have to get above the apathy.
The disparity thing is mostly a little known fact that tax rates changed for the upper quintile which encouraged them to pay taxes as individuals instead of corporations. Also the other thing is the household income myth promoted by ignoring the fact that households are much smaller because of divorce in the last 30 years.
Women make the same as men the reason that appear different is because women take time out of their career to have children and they have a natural disposition to work less. This is a statistical fact.
Remember the standard of living that enjoy now is brought to you by Mr Mega. You wouldn't be complaining about Mr Mega if you lived in a hut and worried about getting enough to eat and the high mortality rate because of no Pharma or modern medicine that extends your life. But clearly they have penetrated the economy it couldn't possibly be the government and the union or the Federal department of education brought to us by Jimmy Carter which imo is a violation of the constitution.
Yea take another hit off that joint my friend it will kill that nasty hope thing you talk about.

There's plenty of cheap land, some with houses and garages on it. Go visit the courthouse steps in your county and look for tax sales. The internet and a credit card and your in business. Sell something on eBay. It isn't that hard. Treat people right and you make money. As much as you want proportional to the effort you make. Then blow off eBay and get your own web page and you're off to the sky is the limit. Unless you're an alcoholic or a drug addict. In which case: get clean. You cannot buy a reputation you can only build one. Use the good stuff.

Throughout history, those who would oppose to the king and the noblemen would get killed off quickly and almost nothing would change. Today is a different time. And yes, it's true that the life of the poor has been better and better in the recent hundred years, but are we reaching the peak?
I'm not referring to any countries. I remember reading a research some time ago which found that the number of millionaires has dropped in the last few years (or that the number of new millionaires is slowly dropping), but the net worth of them is increasing. However, I can't remember exactly where I found it...
Oct 17 2012: i'm talking about the history of capitalism. above all, the history of the united states in 1800's and 1900's. no peak in sight.

The Nouveau Riche are doing just fine. The reason is that their is more opportunity than ever for upward mobility. Just look at the last 20 years. The internet barely existed 20 years ago you and I would not be talking to you or people from China, how cool is that? we all owe Al Gore for inventing the internet? Google has made us all sound very knowledgeable and we can all pontificate. Cell phones or as I like to think of them electronic leashes. Cars that are damn site better than the Trabant and last twice as long as before with way better gas mileage. China and automation has greatly reduced the cost of manufactured goods. They do things in medicine on an outpatient basis that couldn't be done at all 20 years ago.
Nope the trend is toward greater prosperity for everyone. Remember for the millionaire to become a millionaire he had to raise the standard of living for his customers or they would not buy from him. This is always the case unless the millionaire works for the government and does not have to do anything for anyone even though he called a public servant he is anything but.
Oct 17 2012: Yes, the trend is toward greater prosperity for everyone, but at different rates. And that's really the thing that bugs me, but I know it can't be any different.
Oct 17 2012: It is what it is, and opportunity is what isOct 16 2012: Well, I can say nothing but agree with you, Krisztian. There is one thing I must add, the low wages of the unskilled will mean an even bigger gap between the rich and the poor and that could lead to a revolution...
Oct 17 2012: if we ignore history. but in reality, the poor lived a better life every year of piece in the last 200 years.
Oct 17 2012: Krisztian, where did the poor live a better life what does that mean?
Oct 17 2012: in the western world, and it means what it means. better food, better work conditions, better health, etcOct 17 2012: Stefan
What country are referring to? I don't know about your country but make sure the media is not distorting this.
The income gap is not growing (in the U.S.), the media would have you believe this but it just is not so. It has to do with tax laws and false reporting about house hold income.Oct 16 2012: Is Hope a noun or a verb?Oct 16 2012: Globally this generation is "wage slaves" and seriously depressed as media propagates their personal feelings of helplessness and worthlessness.
The truth is that the world is a dynamic place where "profit" and "potential" profit trumps all other interests and knowing this "is power". Knowing that the ability to "passively" stop or prevent commerce is extremely powerful tool capable of changing laws, politics, socialites, and beliefs.
An example would be: If a small group of individuals stalled traffic in 10 major city's for 45 minutes "randomly" at specific choke points as a rebellion against petroleum consumption and refusal to make significant laws and offer incentives to reduce consumption. Billions of dollars per hour of financial loss would take place simply by a few "individual" cars or vehicles in key locations slowing or blocking traffic into metropolitan areas. As the act is not criminal and a large group could continue this behavior without repeated acts by one individual while lobbying for alternate plate number fuel days....
Actions like this would result in industry losing billions per hour in labor, sales, and from logistic issues. Repeated, random, and alternate behavior would alternately result in the issue being addressed, and the potential for change.
Each person has the ability to change the world and make a difference simply by their actions, something some would rather you not be aware of.....and propagate the "wage slave" helpless futility of the generation.
Our fathers and grandfathers were not given a 8 hour work day from compassion, they were not given medical, dental, and vision from kindness, they were not awarded weeks of paid vacations from realization of hardship. They obtained them by being "rebellious" and "resisting" the norms of "wage slavery". They "punched them in the "pocket book" not the armor of the day......and yes....it was hard to do!

the elder with the purse strings, will take us all down before they do what's right. Which leaves personal integrity as the only possession worth pursuing.Oct 14 2012: Well, we can't know for sure, but for the sake of discussion I'd say I'm against. I think that we will somehow be able to overcome the problems we're facing now (pollution, lack of resources, overpopulation) and that there is a future to hope for. This is an interesting time to live in. We still don't have robots to do all of our jobs for us like in some of the sci-fi movies, but we have constructed robots that can do certain jobs better than us, taking our jobs and thus contributing to the unemployment crisis. Emerging technologies will probably provide new jobs for us, but we have to balance out the amount of work being done by robots and the amount of work being done by humans. In my opinion, one thing is certain, we will have to come up with a new economic system because this one is outdated. Not many people think about it, but we've been using practically the same system for around 4 000 years (Ancient Egyptian used the same system we use now). There have been political revolutions, social revolutions and more recently technological revolution. There has to be an economic revolution if we are to have a successful future and I feel that we will be successful.
Oct 16 2012: Hi Stefan
Technology is creating a spectrum of work opportunities.
You said "taking our jobs and thus contributing to the unemployment crisis." This is a common misconception. The work that is done by robots may displace some repetitive jobs like putting parts together in an assembly line or painting a car during assembly. But other people are working making robots and putting them together, perhaps with the help of more robots. Be that as it may, it is not the robots that are contributing to unemployment. The lost jobs are being done by other people who will do the work for less money. International competition is the force that is driving unemployment. In America, when Labor Unions had the upper hand, they bargained for ever increasing wages and benefits. They refused to recognize the growing international labor market and refused to compete. So their jobs were taken up by workers who would work for less, produce quality products, and accept work with no health plan, no injury insurance, very little if any retirement system, who live in worker housing with 3 to 7 other workers in their dorm room.
The best way to grow American jobs is to encourage workers in those places to insist on more benefits, and American workers to work for less... As it stands, foreign workers who ask for any benefits or higher pay are fired and one of the 3,000 people standing in line for a job steps forward.
As long as big business focuses only one the bottom line, and American consumers insist on cheap products of high quality, and American labor only sees other Americans as the competition, unemployment will only increase.
Technology enables more to be done by fewer workers. But there is enough to do, that there is work for everyone if we can agree on a method of payment that is equitable.
Oct 16 2012: Hi Jon,
You seem to be concentrating mainly on the issue of the unemployment crisis in the USA, but almost every country in the world has their own unemployment crisis. Yes, technology is creating a spectrum of work opportunities, but only to those with enough knowledge. You know, not everyone can work on the making of robots and their upgrading so I fear that lower classes will have problems finding work. And at one time, we will come to the point when robots will be making other robots who can do some types of work better than we can and then only a few people will be needed to overseer them. And the fact is we can't all work as scientists or caterers (not sure this is the word, but I can't find a better one).
Oct 16 2012: in reality, there are no strict boundaries. there is no such thing that there is a market for skilled labor, but below a certain productivity, the demand suddenly drops to zero. everyone can contribute something, and that something has a price. all that can be said is in the modern era, unskilled labor becoming less and less paid, compared to the median or the average. this process, modernization, can not possibly lead to unemployment. it only can lead to adjustment of wages according to productivity. and since productivity is not zero, wage also isn't.
if there is unemployment, there must be some other factors that distort the labor market, and prevent it from doing what i just described. and yes, there are many such factors, namely taxes, minimum wage and red tape.Oct 14 2012: With hard work, dedication and perseverance anything is possible. With the digital revolution,I see great potential in the millennial generation !Oct 14 2012: Everyone, not just one particular generation, looks socially and politically sick. Cicero said: QUOTE: "To the sick, where there is life there is hope." Without energy and courage perhaps, but not without hope.Oct 13 2012: When we replace the corrupt and unsustainable economic model, hope will return. Until then, there seems to be only darkness Perhaps the Millennial Generation's job will be to install a better social unifier. Money is particularly badly suited for such a role when pursuit of it is the central theme around a culture's definition of success.
Oct 15 2012: Now now, it isn't that bleak. Although you have plenty of reasons to think so. While twiddling my thumbs waiting for Mom to give me the ranch she and Dad promised to me in exchange for me not joining the armed services, I created a product to sell on the internet. Eventually Mom totally renegged and gave the ranch to my sisters. They married up, racially speaking (in mom's eyes). I stuck to my own. 30 years of dedication and work down the tubes. But the strong compliments I got from my little product sustained me. I had to close down my shop due to a worn out body but I am not defined by money or possessions. I would like more money but thankfully I don't need it. Nobody does. All you need is integrity.
Oct 15 2012: For you, it's not that bleak. For me, it's npt that bleak, but we look to be about the same age - if you show your own picture. But for millennials, life will be different indeed. It will be different for us as well if we don't get our national economic act together.
Oct 15 2012: The economic model works. Its weakness is that it can also "be worked" There is much of that going around.
Millennials need to know the truth about money. China will make that evident to everyone in about 3 to 7 yrs. The only way to get "our national economic act together" will require those holding all the cards (1%ers), to realize the need to help entrepreneurs that have merit. This probably wont happen. And the manipulative type who figured out how to "play" the elder with the purse strings, will take us all down before they do what's right. Which leaves personal integrity as the only possession worth pursuing.Oct 15 2012: Integrity is key - you're absolutely right there. But we live in a culture where religions tell people what is "moral" and what is not, and too often, ethics and morality are in conflict. We need to get rid of that cruel Abrahamic God-myth so that people will again discover their own sense of ethics.
Our culture is fear-based, so our economic and religious (and educational) systems are fundamentally flawed.
Oct 16 2012: With much due respect: I think the religious systems are fundamentally mis-understood. They all require discernment in all matters with a large bias towards justice. It is the WE/They interpretations that hysterical interpreters, of the religious writings, keep using to prevent reasonable interpretations "of integrity" to inure to the benefit of everyone and instead perpetuate divisiveness and misguided sense of superiority.Oct 16 2012: No need to get into a religious discussion here. This isn't the place for it, but I think that the reason why Christianity is in such precipitous decline is because they are increasingly understood, rather than misunderstood. Christianity has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. What some call a bias towards justice, too many are seeing a trending bias towards injustice.
Evangelical christian polls show that of those aged 18-24, less than one percent have a biblical worldview. Of those aged 25-30, less than 30%. Of those aged 18-35, 45%. Of those over 65, 91%.
This all started when religions began inserting themselves in government in order to erode the civil liberties of non-christians, and force non-christians to bow to the will of the Christian "God". Rush Limbaugh, The Moral Majority, The Christian Coalition, and similar self-righteous groups have been destroying what was once something that I highly respected and was a part of.
Christians, believing that god knows what is moral and what is not, want their definition of morality legislated as law. Those who are able to connect with their conscience and discern the difference between morality and ethics are those who are more willing to treat others as they would like to be treated. If we all did this, my inalienable rights would not have been taken away from me by Christians
Oct 16 2012: Neat Trick! : "no need to get into a religious discussion": Then you trail on for 4 paragraphs about Christians! You rascal.
I believe we are in general agreement : the Rush out ona Limbaugh folk seem to have dropped a handful of screws somewhere but at my church I see people with many doubts about Religion. My religion is perfectly ok with those doubts and in fact requires sincere introspection. Those that call themselves Christians come in many varieties for sure; Some are fanatical others are not self limiting in any measure. The golden Rule you refer to is called "The greatest commandment" in my religion. But I would still try to persuade you from doing an immoral act; Assuming I knew it to be immoral; just as the Golden Rule requires.
It sounds as though you have encountered "Christians" of the fanatical sort which Christ himself turned away. Don't write them all off for a bunch of bad apples. This has to be true for all religions is what I am trying to get across. ( hah!: a cross )
Even the Inalienable Rights you refer to are expressly set out, otherwise you wouldn't have them and might not even know they exist.Oct 13 2012: All the time I heard it......next generation has no hope.......all the time there are people (though may be very less in numbers) who are innovative enough to bring hope
Oct 13 2012: Salim
Do you think there are more innovative people now than there were say, back in 95'? I mean we were both adults then and in Nz the net was just beginning to be made known amongst our populace and Microsoft was the new big international player on the windows scene, with the advent of instant knowledge acquisition the young of today have far more available to them than i did, so where is this hopelessness coming from?
Oct 14 2012: Hi Ken
Understand your point and agree to great extent as well. Practically I see kids are asking more challenging questions, which most of time I found I never thought about during my childhood. That is happening because they are much more exposed to information and data than I was.
Statistically speaking, there are more innovative people now than compared to '95.......at any time point as per normal distribution curve around 2% people falls into innovative category. So in real term we have more innovative people than that of past.

Anyone, but not everyone. I'm not completely pessimistic but I do think it's strange people expect me to have a better life if I my neighbor becomes an internet millionaire, he can't offer enough jobs to help everyone.
Oct 12 2012: Try my idea we will all have a job evan we will not call it job but helping our neighbor and if the neighbor does not do the same we can all decide to not help him and in the final will get lost or change in another place where maybe will be accepted and make the change and if not that neighbor will not have any neighbors any more and live in his own "peace of mind" without being a tief and destroy the environment in which lives. :) We are cruel in the face of the cruel one...... but with love because we give a chance to someone to live in his way and where is at home.

With The Mark Of McCain On His Hands
John McCain wants Republicans to stop the "war on women", and he wants to stop an Arizona bill from moving ahead which would allow employers in his state to:
Restrict health insurance coverage of contraception to only those cases when a woman can prove a need for it because of a medical reason, such as endometriosis or an ovarian cyst.
Says McCain:
In my view, I think we ought to respect the right of women to make choices in their lives and make that clear and to get back onto what the American people really care about — jobs and the economy."
Here is where McCain makes his blunder, and why conservatives are beyond fed up with his nonsense, and why so many of us wish he would just shut up more often than not rather than keep insisting conservatives – which he is supposed to be – are conducting a full-scale "war on women".
First of all, there is no actual "war on women" going on anywhere in the United States. That is a liberal and feminist canard that won't go away until conservatives have properly exposed what is really going on. Secondly, conservatives do not have an issue with women making choices, and women having rights, including the right to control their own bodies. Nor do we, conservatives, have an issue with women purchasing and using birth control and contraception.
What we do have a problem with, and what we have absolutely no "respect" with, is when women – exercising those "choices" McCain says we ought to leave alone – make the decision to end a child's life in the womb with birth control and/or contraception. And we also have an issue with federal taxes going to pay women to exercise those "choices".
The "war on women" that McCain has bought into is a clear and cut case of pettiness and selfishness among liberal feminists who want to "control" their bodies in such a way as to kill an unborn child they do not want to give birth to. Because we fight to end abortion; because we fight to pass whatever legislation we can to prevent abortion from occurring unnecessarily; because we fight for the lives of the unborn to live and to be born we, conservatives, have been branded by liberal feminists as sexist and misogynist.
Can anyone explain what is so sexist and misogynist about respecting life? And can someone explain to John McCain that we, conservatives, will not "get off of that issue"? McCain has stained himself. The mark of McCain will not stain our hands nor will it stain conservatism and conservative values.
What does a real "war on women look like? Look here. And then come back and whine about how conservatives are sending women back into the Dark Ages, as Angelica Huston bemoans.

Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai
The Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Tournai was built in the first half of the 12th century. It is especially distinguished by a Romanesque nave of extraordinary dimensions, a wealth of sculpture on its capitals and a transept topped by five towers, all precursors of the Gothic style. The choir, rebuilt in the 13th century, is in the pure Gothic style.

Кафедральный собор Нотр-Дам в Турне был построен в первой половине XII в. Его отличает огромных размеров неф, выполненный в романском стиле, обилие скульптур на капителях, а также трансепт, увенчанный пятью башнями. Все это можно рассматривать как предпосылки готического стиля. Клирос, перестроенный в XIII в., оформлен уже в чисто готическом стиле.

Qua stijl is de kathedraal een voorloper van de gotiek. Alleen het koor - herbouwd in de 13e eeuw - is in zuivere gotische stijl. De Kathedraal laat zien dat de architectuur van het Île-de-France, het Rijnland en Normandië elkaar beïnvloedde. Met zijn imposante afmetingen is de kathedraal een typisch voorbeeld van de school ten noorden van de Seine. Zij bouwden grote gebouwen; voorlopers van de uitgestrekte gotische kathedralen.

Long Description
Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai bears witness to a considerable exchange of influence between the architecture of the Île de France, the Rhineland and Normandy during the short period at the beginning of the 12th century that preceded the flowering of Gothic architecture. In the case of the nave and transept, the early date of the elevation to four levels and its subsequent widespread extension meets the criterion of considerable influence and is further reinforced in the transept by the masterly integration of a 'corridor triforium' and by the unusual composition of volumes. The early 12th-century construction in the nave of a 'viaduct' structure on a four-storey elevation is unique in a period where church builders limited themselves to three levels.
In its imposing dimensions, the cathedral is an outstanding example of the great edifices of the school of the north of the Seine, precursors of the vastness of the Gothic cathedrals. The nave and the transept meet the criterion of unique testimony, in the light of their outstanding state of conservation in a region that has lost virtually all its great basilicas of the Romanesque or pre-Chartres Gothic periods. This is particularly true of the sculpted decoration of the nave. Archaeological sources of exemplary value serve to put the environment of the cathedral into perspective.
In the 1st century BC, Tournai was already an important Roman administrative and military centre (Turnacum), on the river Escaut at the crossroads of an extensive network of roads. Christianity was brought to Tournai in the late 3rd or early 4th centuries by St Piat, but it was not until the 5th century that the bishopric was created, probably in the reign of Childeric, King of the Franks.
The cathedral was built in the first half of the 12th century after fire had destroyed the episcopal ensemble in the mid-9th century. The great 11th-century basilica, part of which still remains, owes its construction to the growing importance of the Marian cult, which attracted many pilgrims in the wake of the plague of 1089. The cathedral lies at the heart of the old town, not far from the left bank of the Escaut. In architectural terms, it is the product of three design periods that can still easily be distinguished: it offers the contrast of a Romanesque nave and a Gothic choir linked by a transept in a transitional style featuring an impressive group of five bell towers.
On the exterior a Gothic porch shelters the double portal in the west front. The lower ranges of the front are decorated with sculptures dating from different periods (14th, 16th and 17th centuries) depicting Old Testament scenes, episodes from the city's history and saints. Above them runs a row of bays surmounted by a great neo-Romanesque rose window and, finally, a gable end flanked by two circular turrets decorated with two rows of columns. The choir, rebuilt in the 13th century, is in the pure Gothic style.
In the interior the Romanesque nave, divided into nine spans over a length of 48 m, is flanked by side-aisles and it is distinctive for its rise to four levels, separated by continuous horizontal cable designs. Two Romanesque vaulted rooms, probably chapels, were added shortly after the construction of the nave, one to the north and the other to the south, at the turn of the western galleries over the side-aisles against the arms of the transept. The transept is vaulted in its entirety and its two arms each culminate in an apse with a narrow ambulatory framed by two towers. The rectangular crossing is topped by a lantern, two floors of which are visible above a Gothic arch. The elevation of the nave extends into the arms, with the adjustments necessary to incorporate the ogival vaulting and smooth the transition to the elevation of the apses. The choir extends over seven spans surmounted by ogival vaulting along the longer side and ends in a semi-decagonal apse topped with an octagonal vault. The chapels open off the ambulatory include six three-sided radiant chapels in the apse.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
In the 1st century BCE Tournai was already an important Roman administrative and military centre (Turnacum), on the river Escaut at the crossroads of an extensive network of roads. Christianity was brought to Tournai in the late 3rd or early 4th century by St Piat, but it was not until the 5th century that the bishopric was created, probably in the reign of Childeric, King of the Franks. After extending the kingdom as far as the Pyrenees his son Clovis (481- 511) moved the main royal residence from Tournai to Paris. An episcopal foundation grew up around the Cathedral of St Stephen and the church of St Mary and became the centre of the city's political, economic, social, and intellectual life under the Carolingians.
The Romanesque Cathedral was built after fire destroyed the episcopal ensemble in the mid 9th century. The great 11th century basilica, part of which still remains, owes its construction to the growing importance of the Marian cult, which attracted many pilgrims in the wake of the plague of 1089 (Notre- Dame des Malades, "Our Lady of the Sick," otherwise known as Notre-Dame de Tournai or the Flemish Notre-Dame). Another factor was the wealth of Flanders and of Tournai, its religious centre and a renowned centre of learning, in a region that produced wool and exported local limestone. In 1146 the city was granted its own bishop instead of being attached to the archdiocese of Noyon, as it had been since the early 7th century. The Romanesque elements of the Cathedral have never been definitively dated. Recent research, however, would seem to put the date of construction in the first half of the 12th century, that of the nave more precisely in the first third of the century and the transept in the second. The original plan included a ceilinged nave with vast galleries on the vaulted side-aisles and a harmonious west front.
The site of the Gothic choir seems to have opened out on a building completed when Bishop Etienne d'Orleans (1192-1203) had the chapel of St Vincent built on the south-west side and added vaulting over the transept and choir of the Cathedral in 1198. Towards the beginning of the 13th century, the first Romanesque portal was replaced by a more monumental construction which was later masked by a stone porch at the beginning of the following century.
Bishop Gautier de Marvis (1219-52) planned to build a new cathedral. Work began on the choir in 1242 and ended in 1255 but did not affect the Romanesque nave and transept. Other constructions were added to the building: a vast chapel, contemporary with the Gothic choir, in the south aisle which would be dedicated to Louis IX of France in 1299 and the prayer-chapel added to the choir in the 14th century. From this period onwards the Gothic choir seems to have shown disturbing signs of instability and potential collapse, remedies for which were sought through consolidation work carried out at different periods. Once completed, the Romano-Gothic Cathedral benefited from the climate of artistic creativity that reigned for many centuries in Tournai and acquired many works of art for its embellishment.
The spires of the flanking towers, and no doubt that of the central tower as well, date from the 16th century, as does the parish chapel, now vanished, that once stood up against the north side of the nave on the site of the Romanesque cloister. Tournai did not escape the rise of Calvinism, losing the archdeaconates of Bruges and Ghent in 1559 and seeing its Cathedral sacked in 1566. The Cathedral was restored the following year, however, and a Renaissance rood screen replaced the Gothic enclosure. Numerous alterations were made over the next two centuries, such as the partial reconstruction of the narthex in Tuscan style (1620), the raising of new vaulting over the nave galleries to replace a wooden ceiling (after 1640) and over the nave (1753), the modification of the Romanesque staircases in the western bay of the side-aisles (1757), the closing off of the side arcades opening out onto the narthex, and the opening of new doors into the side-aisles.
The return of the French in 1797 brought with it the closure of the Cathedral, the sale of its rich furnishings, and the dispersal of its collection of works of art. The building narrowly escaped demolition, but its poor state of preservation necessitated restoration work, which began in the choir in 1840 and continued over subsequent decades: the principal realizations were the reconstruction of the gable-end of the north apse to match that of the south apse, which was itself renovated, the reconstruction of a neo-Romanesque gable-end inspired by those of the transept arms, and the creation of the great rose window. In the early 19th century the Cathedral was left standing in isolation by the demolition of the surrounding houses. Incendiary bombs landed in the choir on 17 May 1940 and the fire spread to the roof of the nave. The parish chapel, the episcopal palace, the diocesan archives, and the extensive chapter library were all destroyed. A fresh restoration campaign was launched after the war ended.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

Emirates Skywards sometimes refers to origin and destination. What does this mean?
Your origin is the airport where you start each leg of your journey, and your destination is the airport where you end each leg of your journey. So, if you're flying a return trip from London to Auckland, your outbound flight has an origin of London and a destination of Auckland; on your return flight, the origin is Auckland and the destination is London. Stopovers are not counted as a destination.
