As I watched the Las Vegas Metro Police Departments Bell HH-1H Huey carefully set down on a narrow rock ledge 500 feet below me, I couldnt help but marvel at the contrast I was witness to. I was standing on solid rock at an altitude of 6,000 feet in a narrow canyon devoid of people, other than the helicopters rescue team and myself; yet if I looked to the south, I could easily see the man-made canyons of the famed Nevada city, with its 150,000 or so hotel rooms.
Watching over the 100,000 or so daily visitors to Sin City, and its metropolitan population of almost two million permanent residents, falls to the LVMPDs Air Support Unit, which faces all the law enforcement challenges that come with that kind of population and daily tourist influx, plus the special ones provided by the areas varied natural elements. For instance, in addition to the extreme high winds often seen in this desert region, within the units nearly 8,000-square-mile (20,700-square-kilometer) response area, temperatures can range throughout the year from 0 to over 120 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 49 degrees Celsius), while altitudes can range from 500 feet to over 11,900 feet. Plus, while annual rainfall averages less than five inches, violent thunderstorms cause flash flooding every year.
Not surprisingly, you can experience a diverse range of daily adventures in this region. You can water ski on the largest man-made lake in the United States Lake Mead in the morning, go snow skiing in the afternoon, and then end the day by heading to Red Rock Canyon, one of the nations premier rock-climbing spots. Of course, this range of activities has led the Air Support Unit to become very proficient at performing difficult rescues (among its many varied roles).
Diverse Missions
The LVMPD Air Support Unit got its start in 1969 with a single Hughes 300; it was a joint venture between the Las Vegas Police Department and the Clark County Sheriffs Department. In 1973, the two agencies merged into the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and the Air Support Unit has grown in size and value ever since. Today, the unit operates four MD 530Fs, a Bell 407 and two Bell HH-1Hs for a diverse array of missions.
For patrol, the MD 530F is the units ship of choice. It is fast and very maneuverable, commented Sgt. Darin Garness, the units chief pilot. It also has a lot of power, which is important for the high-density-altitude conditions we have in our response area. The MD 530F is also the primary rescue ship for short-haul rescues.
All four MDs are equipped with GPS-enabled MetaMap systems. One designated night ship is also equipped with a 30-million-candlepower Spectrolab Nightsun spotlight and a Denel Optronics Argos forward-looking infrared sensor system.
While one patrol 530F is crewed 24 hours a day (although flown only a maximum of 12), seven days a week, during special events such as New Years Eve, which may witness as many as 400,000 people among the casinos on the Las Vegas Strip the unit might have as many as three ships in the air at once.
Since it can carry more people and has a longer endurance than the 530Fs, the units Bell 407 is often used to transport officers around Clark County. The ship is also used for sling-load activities: the Air Support Unit helps service mountaintop radio repeater sites throughout the county, and regularly sling-loads batteries and propane tanks weighing as much as 800 pounds (360 kilograms) to these sites, many of which are located at over 7,000 feet altitude.
The two HH-1Hs are former United States Air Force ships that were originally assigned to missile silo support. The unit modified each with an 1,800-shaft-horsepower Lycoming T53-L-703 engine and the stronger AH-1 Huey Cobra tail-rotor gearbox and transmission. The BLR FastFin modification was also installed, giving the ships greater tail rotor authority, which Garness said is especially important during summertime mountain rescues.
The Hueys are used in a variety of law enforcement roles. Said Garness, For SWAT deployments, we will use the Huey for fast roping (and the 530Fs for skid deployments). We can also place [SWAT] snipers on higher ground. For serving high-risk warrants outside the Las Vegas Valley, we are used for aerial observation and set the Huey up for medevac in case an officer is wounded.
Although the LVMPD Air Support Unit stays busy with rescue and law enforcement missions in its own area of responsibility, it will also lend a hand where needed. Since it is the only law enforcement helicopter unit in southern Nevada, it assists a wide variety of surrounding local and county agencies, plus many agencies in the neighboring states of Arizona, California and Utah. The unit also supports an alphabet soup of federal agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service.
Behind the scenes keeping the units diverse fleet in top shape for this range of missions are four full-time mechanics. These sometimes-unsung-but-integral unit members perform the majority of the fleets maintenance in-house, plus most of its completions, conversions and modifications. Only rebuilds of engines, transmissions and gearboxes are normally performed externally, by their respective original equipment manufacturers.
Progressive Training
In the starring role at the LVMPDs Air Support Unit are its 18 pilots, who fly patrols as two-member teams: one pilot acting as tactical flight officer (TFO), the other flying the helicopter. Halfway through each shift, however, they will switch roles. Although, when pilots are going through their initial helicopter flight training, they act as full-time TFOs until they become qualified helicopter pilots.
We also have a temporary-duty TFO position, said Garness. We bring in officers from patrol or the detective section and complete the Phase 1 TFO training, which lasts 60 days. They then go back to their home unit and can act as [temporary] TFOs. This does a couple of things for us. First, it gives us a chance to recruit and look at officers who are interested in joining the Air Support Unit. The TFO position is the most important and difficult job in the ship. This is where we usually wash new candidates out not the pilot training. The pilot is just the chauffeur. We find some have a tough time doing police work from 500 feet. This program also allows officers to see what Air Support can and cant do for the ground officers [who] spread the word around their bureaus. We work together better as a result of this mixing of ground officers into Air Support.
The requirements for a new pilot coming into the unit are four years of ground patrol experience and at least a fixed-wing private pilot certificate. If they pass their initial evaluation, new candidates face a training program that is very structured, due to the varied missions the unit performs. The new candidate first goes through TFO training, which is broken into two phases that total 16 weeks and two checkrides.
Candidates then move on to pilot training, which is broken into nine phases, each including about 25 hours of flight time. Each phase has objective goals that ultimately result in the pilot meeting all of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administrations requirements for obtaining a commercial helicopter pilot certificate. The first six phases, and their approximately 150 hours of flight time, are geared toward obtaining a private helicopter certificate; phases 7 and 8 are geared toward obtaining the commercial certificate; and Phase 9 is devoted to learning how to fly patrol. Although pilots are considered qualified for patrol upon completion of Phase 9, they still fly with a unit flight instructor until they reach 300 hours of flight time.
From 300 to 500 hours, new pilots are allowed to fly patrol inside the valley, basically the urban area of Las Vegas, and the surrounding cities day and night, explained Garness. If they have a vehicle pursuit that leaves the valley, they cant go. At 500 hours, they can go out of the valley during the day, after going through a couple of days of familiarization flights. At 500 hours, the new pilots also begin to train to flying to the radio repeater sites. This introduces the pilot to mountain flying at high-altitude and confined-space landings. From 500 to 1,000 hours, they can do patrol, leave the valley during the day, and land at the repeater sites.
At 1,000 hours, pilots begin to train for out-of-valley flying at night, without night vision goggles; afterward they are trained on NVGs. Pilots average about 250 hours of flight time a year now, said Garness. So, it takes four years to get to the point where they are allowed to do everything related to flying patrol work. Our insurance carrier really likes this system, which is based on not only number of hours, but completed training steps.
Beyond 1,000 hours is the next pilot level, becoming a unit flight instructor, which also unlocks the final level. After a pilot becomes an instructor, we start looking at them for getting rescue-qualified, said Garness. But, We dont even look at a pilot for rescue training until they have a minimum of 2,000 hours of flight time.
Like the other stages of pilot training, rescue training is broken down into progressive phases, and once completed, the pilot must perform a mock rescue in an unknown location, working with LVMPD search and rescue personnel and a simulated victim. The pilot must search for and locate the victim, deploy the SAR personnel and equipment, bring the victim out, and then retrieve the SAR team and all their equipment. Afterwards, everyone who participated in the test critiques the pilot.
Of the 18 pilots in the unit, six are rescue qualified and seven are certified flight instructors.
SAR personnel, meanwhile, are drawn from the LVMPDs search and rescue section. The section is staffed by seven highly trained, full-time officers and approximately 50 volunteers. The full-time officers double as crew chiefs on the Hueys, have medical training up to the paramedic level, and serve as tactical medical officers on every SWAT callout.
Managed Challenges
While the LVMPD Air Support Unit strives to bring as much structure as possible to its operations and training, one of the biggest challenges facing the unit is completely out of its control.
As many people are aware, the Las Vegas area was hard-hit in the recent economic recession, having literally gone from boom to bust. This has affected all municipal services, including the Air Support Unit.
The impact of the economy has hit air support units around the country very hard, said Lieut. Joseph Ojeda (who was still commander of the LVMPD Air Support Unit during the time of this interview, but has since retired). Helicopters have a huge impact on police budgets. I have one of the smaller sections in the department, but one of the larger budgets. We have been around a long time and been able to prove our worth, but when the economy tanked we looked at how we could cut our own budget to reduce costs. Back then, we flew 18 to 19 hours in a 24-hour period. We reduced that to 12 hours a day. That has saved a lot of money.
Of course, saving cost has meant reducing services. As Ojeda explained: We are not doing as many pursuits, because we are not in the air as much. So, it has affected, directly and indirectly, our ability to do police work at the unit. We are more exact in what kind of work we will do for other sections of the department, since we only have 12 flight hours per day to work with. Then, we have the missions we must respond to, like search and rescue. We do about 170 SAR missions a year now. I think that also helps keep us in business. We have become so vital to so many other agencies with the different kinds of work we do.
Fortunately, things are not all doom and gloom. Because of long-range budget planning, the unit was able to move into a new 38,000-square-foot facility at the North Las Vegas Airport in 2009. This in turn made maintenance much easier, as the new hangar has a designated maintenance bay with a 12-ton overhead crane that can lift any ship in the fleet. Another bit of good news happened in 2010, when the unit took delivery of a new MD 530F (although Ojeda said this will be the last new aircraft for many years to come).
Good news or bad news, though, the unit continues to look to the future.
Said Ojeda: I have always believed that in order to stay safe and successful you have to progress. . . . Just because we have always done something one way and it works, doesnt mean there isnt a better way to do it. . . . For instance, we are about to start training on NVGs for night, over-water rescues, something we have never done before.
After spending several days with this unit, I couldnt help but pick up on the enthusiasm of every member. Indeed, for the most part, they seemed too busy worrying about how to protect the ground officers and the citizens and tourists of Las Vegas to worry about the things (like economic pressures) that are beyond their control.
I know I am living my dream right now, being a cop and leading this unit, said Ojeda with a big smile. I still love coming to work every day.

Cannot view received messages and sent messages
I have updated the system to 4.3 for some time. At night the battery was at 55%, but it was shutted down the next morning because it was at 0% for no reason ( not the first time). Texting was working in the morning, but later in the day, I can't view the messages people sent to me (the notification light and the notification bar were working though) and when I tried to reply them, I can't see the message I sent to them, but they received it with no problem.
Am I the only one who has this problem? I tried to restart the phone, but it didn't help...
Thank you!

The lake is absolutely perfect! Totally swimmable and warm water. There is even a beautiful patio to accompany the good times by the lake. The house is nice-- not anything too fancy -- but with the location, I never felt like I wanted to spend time in the house. Such a fun time.

My family had a wonderful time at this home away from home. It is everything you could want for a week away from city life. The house was big enough for all of us (9 adults, 3 kids and 1 small dog). My niece and nephews enjoyed fishing off the pier, swimming and making smores down at the fire. And the adults loved sitting by the fire at night. We would definitely come back again. As the description says, it truly is a "home."

Great stay, extreamly clean! We had a ball. Lovely eating area and living area. The water is beautiful!! nice and clean!! View of lake from house is awesome. Great for family and friends. Very relaxing.
My husband is an avid golfer and loved how close we were to so many golf courses. He went to Nippersink, Lake Geneva and another one (can't remember the name). While he and my brother-in-law were golfing, we enjoyed long walks, Lake Geneva shopping, margaritas at the lake and swimming. We thought it wouldn't be kid friendly, so we left the kids with our parents. I wish we brought them. It is a very kid friendly home/area.
In the evening we went to dinner at the restaurant/bar on the lake and went home and started up the fire-pit.
It was very nice. Did not feel like a cabin. It felt very comfortable.
We'll be going there again- with the kids and the grandparents.

Late February 2015 I had an appointment with John and Raj of JW Property and asked them to help me find my dream property (rental) in Hua Hin. After discussing what I was actually looking for and my budget, they showed me a number of stunning properties. One of the condominium's shown was exactly (actually even better) what I was looking for and I fell in love on the spot. John and Raj successfully represented me during the negotiations with the owner and I now have the perfect lease contract for that dream home. This agency not only gave me the best advice but also the best service I experienced in years. John and Raj, I am looking forward to a long and happy relationship over the years to come as I know that you will always do your very best to satisfy the needs of your client.
Sincere regards and many thanks,

Looking forward to seeing you in June :).

He's found himself increasingly in the spotlight, and this year's Goodbye Bread for Drag City was met with a big wet kiss from the indie media world. But Segall don't care about that. He ain't in it for the corporate buck. He's made it because he's toured constantly, puts on a great show and genuinely loves what he does.Goner is proud to present a double-album of tracks culled from Segall's massive out-of-print catalog—plus some stuff that never made it out in the first place.

text: The South Korean economy grew slower than earlier forecast in the first quarter as consumer spending remained subdued and export growth slowed amid the yen\'s slide to the won, the central bank said. Korea\'s gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of economic performance, grew a revised 0.8 percent in the January-March period from three months earlier, down from a previous estimate of 0.9 percent on-quarter expansion, according to the Bank of Korea (BOK). The first-quarter reading marked the fastest growth since the first quarter of 2012 and quickened from 0.3 percent on-quarter growth in the fourth quarter. The GDP advanced 1.5 percent on-year in the first quarter, the same pace as earlier estimated. The government is ramping up efforts to bolster the economy, which the yen\'s slide threatens to weigh on. The yen has depreciated more than 14 percent per the U.S. dollar so far this year, putting Korean exports at a disadvantage in pricing in overseas markets. The won has advanced some 11 percent against the yen so far this year. The government, which has drawn up an extra budget of 17.3 trillion won (US$15.5 billion), forecast the Korean economy to grow 2.3 percent this year. The BOK\'s 2013 growth estimate stood at 2.6 percent, the state-run (Yonhap) news agency reported. In May, the BOK surprised the market by making the first rate cut in seven months, a move aimed at lending support to the government\'s drive for the economic stimulus. The central bank lowered the borrowing costs in July and October last year. Exports, which account for about 50 percent of the economy, grew 3 percent on-quarter in the first quarter, less than its earlier estimate of 3.2 percent. But the first-quarter data was compared with a 1.1 percent contraction in the fourth quarter. Domestic demand fell 0.4 percent last quarter, compared with a previous estimate of a 0.3 percent contraction, according to the central bank. Facility investment gained 2.6 percent, down from an earlier estimate of 3 percent growth. Construction investment grew 4.1 percent, higher than the previous estimate of a 2.5 percent gain. Meanwhile, the gross national income (GNI), a gauge of purchasing power of the population, rose 0.8 percent on-quarter in the first quarter, picking up from 0.3 percent in the previous quarter and the fastest growth in three quarters, it said. Korea\'s trade terms improved last quarter as import costs fell at a sharper pace than export prices, the central bank said.

Denver CO (SPX) Mar 10, 2016
The first U.S. mission to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth for study is undergoing a major milestone in its environmental testing.
NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is in thermal vacuum testing, designed to simulate the harsh environment of space and see how the spacecraft and its instruments operate under 'flight-like' conditions.
OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to launch in September and travel to the asteroid Bennu to collect a sample and return it to Earth for study. Scientists expect Bennu may hold clues to the origin of the solar system and the source of the water and organic molecules that may have made their way to Earth.
On Feb. 11, the orbiter was lifted into a 65-foot-tall thermal vacuum chamber at Lockheed Martin's facility near Denver, Colorado.
OSIRIS-REx will be powered on and off while being in a vacuum and exposed to extreme cold and heat that it will see over its seven-year mission to Bennu. After the air has been removed from the chamber, liquid nitrogen is pumped into tubes that run throughout the wall of the chamber, bringing the temperature down to as low as minus 274 degrees Fahrenheit.
A powerful light is turned on periodically to simulate the sun and the heat the spacecraft will experience. Throughout the 22-day test, a team of engineers test and monitor the spacecraft and its instruments 24 hours a day.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland provides overall mission management, systems engineering and safety and mission assurance for OSIRIS-REx. The University of Arizona, Tucson leads the science team and observation planning and processing.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver is building the spacecraft. OSIRIS-REx is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, manages New Frontiers for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Hi I am so excited I found your webagpe, I really found you by accident, while I was looking on Bing for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say kudos for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design), I don't have time to read through it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the fantastic work.
What a job!
Just finished my input to the Strategy, Marketing and Comms monthly report. Thankfully it doesn't take anywhere near as long as it used to now it's in wiki format and also because we keep tabs on all activities in a trusty spreadsheet.
I still can't get my head around just how much is taking place at the moment in the IC team, I mean look at these stats for April – 36 emails sent; 12 intranet articles published; 9 video updates to Spotlight TV; 1 Spotlight TV News show filmed, edited and published as well as 32 combined posts to the Spotlight Blog.
Every month I'm amazed at what has been achieved by the team and it's not until you see the figures that it hits home just how much. May is going to tip the scales again with the Volvo Ocean Race set to spark a flurry of videos, news, blogs and tweets from Galway.
Last week a guy from down the road in Hampshire won what was touted as the 'Best Job in the World'. But you know what – I actually think I already have that right here. Twelve years on, it remains the most exciting job I've ever had with new challenges everyday and the opportunity to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. Fantastic!

Cameraman Nirav Shah and a still cameraman took a test shoot of Vijay with Amala Paul who are being paired for the first time.
The shooting of this film produced by Chandraprakash Jain which is untitled, will start in Mumbai from November 25. Mumbai seems to be the favourite location of Ilayathalapathy after the stupendous success of Thuppakki.

Inglenook CASK Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
2007 CASK Cabernet is a striking beauty. An exotic perfume of cassis, flowers, spice, and oak is followed by luscious flavors or red cherries, currants, and wildberries. the supple tannins and rich core of fruit let you indulge now; however, the impeccable structure will allow CASK to grow for many years to come. It is a classic representation of Rutherford Cabernet.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Gorgeous, elegant and ageworthy. With a softly tannic structure, it's drinkable now, but should age and gain complexity for 10 years. Dry and smooth, it has complex flavors of blackberries, black cherries, currants, red licorice, cola and oak. Give it some time to breathe."
Inglenook Winery
In 1879, Finnish explorer and adventurer Gustave Niebaum searched the Napa Valley with the goal of establishing a wine estate to rival the finest chateau of France. For decades his wines won acclaim and remain some of the most admired in American wine history's classic period. By the mid-1960's, his property was divided, and estate-wine production ceased.
A decade later, Francis Ford Coppola purchased 1,500 acres of this historic property and revived Captain Niebaum's fine winemaking tradition. In 1995, Niebaum-Coppola acquired the remainder of the property and restored the Inglenook Estate to its original dimensions. View all Inglenook Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

International Rover Week 2013 starts on Sunday, 14th July with a BBQ in the evening and is going to end on Wednesday, 24th July 2013. During your time at the permanent Mini-Jamboree, you will live together with the other participants in tents on the KISC Campsite. Tents as well as basic campsite equipment will be provided for you! During the 10-day event, you will spend one night away from the Campsite, in the Upper Hut or KISC's newest hut at Gfellalp. During the entire week, special Rover Week Helpers in Green will take care of you, ready tp answer any questions, help out with the programme and support you in planning activities on your free day. They'll also take part in all of the programme activities offered by the Centre and make sure you'll have the best possible experience in Kandersteg!
We put together a programme for every day of your stay to guarantee that you won't spend a single boring second during your time at the Centre. To ensure a most enjoyable experience, we've included suggestions for improvement from participants of previous Internation Rover Weeks. According to those suggestions, two bigger hikes will be offered, but you'll be able to choose a difficulty level that best suits your personal fitness while still offering a challenge! We also ask each participant to bring a speciality - be it food, beverages, a folkloristic dance etc. - from their home countries to KISC to take part in the International Evening during the event and share parts of their culture with the other Rovers. We would also like each participating Rover to come up with a game or other activity that is either typical for their region or that they think could be interesting to present to the other Rovers as there will be a day of workshops run by the participants for the participants!
We've allowed for enough free time for you to explore the valley around Kandersteg on your own and live your personal adventure! You are missing a climbing trip the laid out programme? Just use your free day and scale a rockface yourself! You need more rest after a hike? Why not just chill at Oeschinensee together with other fellow Rovers on a free morning? It's up to you! A few ideas on what to do a sunny day in Kandersteg can be found in our KanderActive 2013 activitiy brochure or in the Programme section of our website.
Click on the picture below to download our Programme Poster with all the basic infos at one glance!
The cost for the entire week is set at the special price of only 350 CHF (approx. 290 €). Included in this price is your accomodation on the Campsite, tents and basic Campsite equipment, as well as packed lunch while your on activities and groceries to cook your own meals. The activities offered during the week by the Centre in the International Rover Week's programme are included in the price as well, except for any additional activities you choose to organise for yourself on free days. To round the package of, we've also put an International Rover Week badge and t-shirt in there! Included in the price as well are the BBQ to start the week of and a traditional Swiss dinner during your stay.
We want as many Scouts from far-away countries and other continents as possible to join in the Rover Week and discover the magic of Kandersteg! Special discounts have been created to support them! A special discount on the week for participants from A, B and C countries according to the WOSM categorisation is possible. Please contact your International Commissioner for more details on this.
If you are interested in applying, please contact your international commissioner, as applications are handled directly by each country willing to send participants to KISC! You're in for an unforgettable Summer with other Rovers, Pinkies and Helpers from all over the world! To ensure the international spirit of the event, we have limited the number of participants to 2 per country - so apply as soon as possible if you don't want to miss your chance to get in!

Skip to comments.Genghis misunderstood
Posted on 10/03/2006 11:15:52 AM PDT by JZelle
click here to read article
Ghenghis Khan was a remarkable individual who kicked human civilization in the teeth and put it back to work.
Good to get them out of the way.
Nothing wrong with a few dozen Ghengis Khan statues ~ mount him on a small horse.
So your reasoned, scientific approach to historical figures you don't approve of is to attempt to airbrush them from history?
Hmm, must try this myself. I don't like Mohammad. He is the father of a deathcult only too well known to FReepers. And so I apply your method to history and - shazam! He's gone! Mohammad never existed! What a satisfying way to deal with uncomfortable facts!
No, Jesus' existence is attested to with a greater body of personal eyewitnesses than just about anyone for the next thousand years.
Actually, there's no evidence outside of the Koran and the Hadiths that Mohammad ever existed.
> your reasoned, scientific approach to historical figures you don't approve of is to attempt to airbrush them from history
Nice try at a strawman. Inaccurate, flawed, and plain wrong... but nice anyway.
> Mohammad never existed!
If you say so. However, the record of his existence is substantially greater than that for Christ.
Ah, its more than that my friend. There's no evidence outside of a whole load of obviously faked coins and correspondence - and some bigass monuments - that Julius Caesar ever existed! Man this is so coool!
> those are generally people much more relevant to the US than Khan.
That's debatable. I've seen lots of statues of, for example, Poles who came to America to help fight in the Revolution (Casimir Pulasky and whatnot). These people ahve a tendency to be almost *entirely* irrelevant to the bulk of American history... certainly nowhere near as important as Ghengis. Had some minor European army Major not come to the US and gotten shot dead in his first battle, the US would almost certainly still exist, perhaps with no recognizable changes. Had the Khans not existed, the US probably wouldn't either... except as part of the greater World Caliphate.
Nevertheless, these minor Euro figures are relevant to the people who actually paid for the statue - typically the Poles in Chicago, the Italians in New York, whoever.
Julius Caesar lived long before Jesus.
Outside of the emperors, there's little attestation that anybody at all existed in those days. When it comes to the coins, not every emperor (particularly in later years in the Western Empire) got his face on one, and even some of the emperors on coins may be spurious.
They just didn't keep records in the old days like we do today.
Turns out Jesus' existence is attested to by the four major Gospel writers, as well as by others whose witness is included in those Gospels, or in letters by Peter and Paul that refer to the testimony of others.
During that period of time not another ordinary individual in Palestine has left behind any records at all beyond little carvings on graves.
I love that one scene when Mongolians threw that baseball it was grenade LOL!
Yes, I also vote for a statue of Vlad the Impaler.
I hearing that they going set up statue or muserem for Vlad the Implaer the real Dracula
I hope you understand that I raise these schizoid denials as a reductio absurdum of OBB's apparent assumption that the Person who has formed human history was invented by the Gospel writers. Eleven out of twelve of the Apostles died in agony attesting for the truth of the Gospels. If Jesus never existed then one of the many questions one would have to ask - why would they make this stuff up?
> As a matter of principal, however, if the Mongolians want to pay for and put a statue, I see no problem with it.
Agreed. If some Russian immigrants want a stature of Stalin... hey, pay the artist to cast it up for you, and stick it on your lawn. Putting it in the public square.... ummm, no.
> you were right all along
You are on the road to wisdom, young Padawan.
> the Person who has formed human history ...
Werner von Braun? Archimedes? Gilgamesh?
> Eleven out of twelve of the Apostles died in agony...
According to whom?
> If Jesus never existed then one of the many questions one would have to ask - why would they make this stuff up?
How did Joseph Smith die? How did Marshall Applewhite die? How about David Koresh?
He was a murderous thug on a horse, little better than a Blood or a Crip.
I'm talking about two kingdoms that Chingghis waged offensive war against, one of which he attacked to flank the Chin on their western [undefended] border prior to his offensive war against the Chinese.
I'm as great an admirer of the Yakka Mongols as you'll find, but facts are facts. Once Temujin united the tribes, he waged several wars of aggression, two at least [Hsia Hsia and the Chin] without cause. Kara Khitai had been taken over by Gukluk, a Naiman opponent, and the Khwarism Shah murdered a Mongol Ambassador, which was a casus belli. But Hsia Hsia was atacked for its location, and the Chin were attacked for their wealth.
Jesus is described at best by hearsay, and much of it vastly unreliable and fantastical.
Didn't Josephus describe him in detail in "The Jewish War"? Do you deem Josephus unreliable on this point, and if so, why?
> Didn't Josephus describe him in detail in "The Jewish War"?
Nope. From "Antiquities of the Jews:"
"At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus, and his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon their loyalty to him. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion, and that he was alive. Accordingly they believed that he was the Messiah, concerning whom the Prophets have recounted wonders."
That's not a whole lot of detail. That's also more like someone accurately recording the beliefs of another group. It should be noted that Josephus himself was *not* a Christian but a Jew; thus he was obviously not convinced that Jesus was the Messiah (or otherwise... he'd be a Christian).
As to whether Josephus was unreliable... seems unlikely. However, it's true that he neither recounted great detail unavailable from the first four books of the NT, and neither was the information available to *him* sufficient to cause him to believe.
Consider: assume a group of people who believed in Alien Superfriends In Shiny Gold UFO's (Asisgufoians) came to your town. The local paper described them and their beliefs in factual terms. Let's say their belief was that John Wayne was sent to Earth as the only begotton son of the Galactic Overlord. Now, if the local paper reported that "the Asisgufoians believe that John Wayne was sent to Earth as the only begotton son of the Galactic Overlord," does that lend credence to their belief? Or does that simply describe what their belief is?
That there were Christians in 93 AD is not exactly a shocking revelation.
Thug on a horse, one of many throughout history
So did Alexander the Great, most generals of the Roman Republic, Julius Caesar, the previously mentioned Richard I [at least Chingghis spent a good deal of his time in his kingdom], the Crusaders, the Muslims, Tamerlane, Napoleon, and all the happy Christian participants [both sides] in the Thirty Years War. So when it comes to horses in history, climb down off yours.
Compared to western "civilization" [remember Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin?], Chingghis Quan is small change. And the pluses of his Empire outweigh the minuses.
oohps! my mistake!
Tx. for the info.
Are you seriously taking the position that Jesus didn't exist as a historical figure?
That's a view that seems to be held only by an extreme minority of historians. Extreme in size and ideology.
So you say. Temugin was a murderous bastard whose appologists have made him something he wasn't. Other's sins don't wash away his.
> Are you seriously taking the position that Jesus didn't exist as a historical figure?
No. Just the position that the evidence for his existence is extremely thin, and nowhere near as strong as for Khan. Plus, the reports of Ghengis describe Just A Guy. The reports for Jesus describe Magical Super Powers. It is never unwise to be highly skeptical of reports of Magical Super Powers.
But within the scope of history, he's no worse than many of the figures lionized in western history. Only more successful.
Skepticism, sure.
Unfortunately a lot of people do a lot of outright dismissing and call it "skepticism" for the sake of sounding high-minded and lofty.
Pinging myself.
I love threads like these.
YES but is worth to remember that was his GRANDSON HULAGU KHAN
that took Baghdad....
Hulagu probably always intended to take Baghdad, which the Mongols had been meaning to attack for over ten years, but he used the caliph's refusal to send troops to him as a pretext for conquest, since his brother the Great Khan had ordered him to be merciful to those who submitted. Hulagu sent a message to the caliph, Al-Musta'sim, containing the following:
"When I lead my army against Baghdad in anger, whether you hide in heaven or in earth
I will bring you down from the spinning spheres;
I will toss you in the air like a lion.
I will leave no one alive in your realm;
I will burn your city, your land, your self.
If you wish to spare yourself and your venerable family, give heed to my advice with the ear of intelligence. If you do not, you will see what God has willed."
When can they get started?
The world famous excommunicate, Martin Luther, is honored at Thomas Circle, and one of the tallest statues in the city honors South America's Great Liberator, Simon Bolivar.And Gandhi and Churchill. Over the Supreme Court are Moses, Mohammed, Solon, Hammurabai, and other famous lawgivers. There's an Italian church with statues of Dante, Michaelangelo, Verdi, and Marconi.
Other statues include Joan of Arc; Jose Artigas, the father of Uruguayan independence; Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko; and French artist Louis Daguerre.

Heh. Reminds me of a bit Cracked Online did about movie bad guys: They were just misunderstood.
Take the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy killed her sister, albeit accidentally, but then made off with the Witch's rightful inheritance, the ruby slippers (an idea that was suggested by a strange deity carrying a stick in a bubble that floated into the village). Dorothy runs to the nearest pliable legal authority in the person of a large bag full of light and smoke to obtain legal title to the shoes she absconded, and was subsequently ordered to murder the put-upon grieving sister in order to buy a balloon ticket somewhere.
While the Witch attempted to recover her lost sentimental property, Dorothy hatched an ad-hoc scheme to KILL the Witch with a bucket of water. She even engaged in a conspiracy dreamed up by her three confederates who broke into the Witch's home by committing Assault and Battery on three of the Witch's private security detail. What's worse, they subjected the victims of their crime to ridicule by using their clothing as cover for their nefarious deeds, leaving them naked off-site.
But, in Dorothy's defense, she didn't incur the wrath of PETA by using flying monkeys to help her retrieve a pair of stupid red pumps that were lousy footwear for a miles-long journey on a road made of yellow bricks anyway. A journey made longer, by the way, by starting at the center of spiral flagstone pattern. She did get to enjoy the pleasure of getting really stoned on opium poppies. Yay, um, Dorothy.

Hi MAX,
How can I sync MAX to(!!) LIVE. in terms of rewire like functionality to let both machines play in sync.
How can I input MAX MIDI OUT to LIVE MIDI In to record the MIDI notes on a MIDI Track?
Go into Live and check out the Max midi effects. One of thems called api.observe.global.transport.
Check the picture I attached, and then in Max just add a udprecieve with the same port number, plug this into a toggle going into metro and you've got both programs in sync.
For midi to live make sure your midi settings are correct.
In Max (mac use IAC driver bus 1) enable it in the options with midiout or midiparse object, then go into live PREFERENCES MIDI enable midi in with IAC bus driver 1. Now make a midi track select midi input IAC DRIVER 1 and put monitor to in. This should bring the midi into live.
The basic tutorials of Midi from Max already contain all the objects you need to make this work. I'd recommend using midiparse as this deals with large amounts of midi data.
thank you,
I can´t find these MIDI Effects. Is it a special bundle?
Don´t know why, is Max tricky in terms of user handling?
At the moment I install the Max for Live Essentials to see to find them there.
Do I have to reinstall Live, caring for file structures and such.
Thx very much
Best regards
