So Emanuel wants a draft?
I just saw this for the first time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtDSwyCPEsQ
It's a CSPAN clip from 2006
Is Obama planning a Gestapo-like "civilian national security force"?
I read a quote from Rep. Paul Broun from Georgia which stated that Obama wants to set up a civilian national security force that was similar to the "Gestapo" or the Nazi Brownshirts.
What is the truth behind Obama's statements that he wants to create a "civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as the military]"?
This false claim is a badly distorted version of Obama's call for doubling the Peace Corps, creating volunteer networks and increasing the size of the Foreign Service.
This question stems from an interview that Republican Rep. Broun of Georgia gave to The Associated Press Nov. 10. The story carried a headline, "Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship." It said that Broun "fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship." And it quoted him this way:
Rep. Paul Broun, Nov. 10: It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's [Obama's] the one who proposed this national security force. ... That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did.
Similar claims have been circulating in right-leaning blogs and conservative Web sites ever since July, when Obama made a single reference to a "civilian national security force" in a campaign speech in Colorado. Obama's detractors make much of his expansive (and exaggerated) description of such a force as being "just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the U.S. military. They also ignore the context.
Obama was not talking about a "security force" with guns or police powers. He was talking specifically about expanding AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps and the USA Freedom Corps, which is the volunteer initiative launched by the Bush administration after the attacks of 9/11, and about increasing the number of trained Foreign Service officers who populate U.S. embassies overseas.
Here is the relevant portion of what Obama actually said, with the sentences quoted selectively by Broun and others in bold.
Obama, July 2, Colorado Springs, CO: [As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals, like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their effort connected to a common purpose.
People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem they are the answer. So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an energy corps, to conduct renewable energy and environmental clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.
We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And we're going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.
We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. You'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.
This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up.
Does that sound like a force that could kick down your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to a Gulag or concentration camp? You decide.

You Might As Well Be Reading
Okay, maybe not according to Alaska, but I already think you've gotta be nuts to live there. I live in the dead middle of the US, so middle-road. I'd like some middle-road temperatures. But much like the government, Missouri weather doesn't understand the term "moderate" and has to run from one extreme to another. Still, I don't think I'll be missing the -30 wind chill temps in July, even if it is 110 outside.
Sorry I've been off. December got a little busy--and hope it was for you as well, in all the good ways, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and all that.
So I have a couple recommends today. Of course, I'm in a mood, so the regular romances that usually litter my weeks aren't cutting it right now. (I'll be back on soon, I promise.)
If you're in the mood for some speculative historical fiction, I can recommend BRIGID OF KILDARE. I've been doing some research on the saint--and yes, I'm looking a little forward to February 2, which is her feast day, because that's when lambing season begins, and where there are lambs, there is spring...so aren't we all looking forward to spring? Exactly. Anyway, because she was a woman in the dark ages, and the Church was trying to suppress women from being the powerful, kickass beings they are, they had their work cut out for them in Brigid. There's a bit of contemporary story as well entwined...and it works out very satisfactory.
If you're in the mood for a memoir, I stayed up all last night to finish reading BOOTSTRAPPER (Mardi Jo Link), which was a very compelling read, but at times, you do have to question her sanity. Okay, not her sanity...the needless pride at some aspects, because we get to three-quarters of the book before the woman files for reduced-free lunches for her kids--and they were not once swimming in food during this book. Are you kidding me? And she didn't want to because she didn't want to admit she was broke. I'm glad it all worked out for her, and her kids are like fairy-tale myths, in my opinion, because they were very good about living on a farm with nothing. And all helpful and stuff. Still, I wish she had come to some realizations a little sooner to make her life a little easier. Still, there are aspects that are "OMG, who goes through that?" and other aspects where you'll be laughing and in the end, you feel like you bootstrapped along with her. Well worth staying up for.
What are you reading?
Oh! Terri Osburn will be blogging with me on January 16th for her blog tour, talking about her third Anchor Island book, HOME TO STAY.

Hey, Hellie! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope your holidays were good. Mine were hectic, but awesome.ReplyDelete
Now we're stuck in the deep freeze of 2014. School's cancelled for today and tomorrow and DH's work has even been cancelled (which never happens). So, instead of enjoying the peace and quiet of an empty house I have to wait a few days to jump back into my TBR.
The only book I've read over the past few weeks is Courtney Milan's THE HEIRESS EFFECT. I enjoyed it. There are two books being released tomorrow that I'm really looking forward - Lorraine Heath's novella THE LAST WICKED SCOUNDREL and Samatha Young's BEFORE JAMAICA LANE.
Oh, and YAY!!! about Terri's new blog tour for HOME TO STAY. Can't Wait!ReplyDelete
The 'Brigid of Kildare' novel sounds interesting. I was at a conference in Trinity College Dublin a few years ago and saw the Book of Kells in the Old Library. The craftsmanship and Love that went into creating some of these ancient manuscripts is inspiring. Great idea for a novel to find an earlier manuscript!ReplyDelete
Currently reading Maria Snyder's fantasy 'Study' Series which I find outstanding and also the first Flavia de Luce mystery 'Sweetness at the bottom of the pie'.
Hope you have a great 2014 .... You deserve it Hellie!
I appreciate you guys coming back so quickly when I've clearly slacked off on my end! *LOL*ReplyDelete
Irish, I don't envy the cold. We had the arctic crap too, but fortunately it's getting up to a balmy 20 or so degrees today. I'm quite optimistic again. LOVE Lorraine Heath--have you to thank for that.
Quantum, you got to see the Book of Kells? *swoons enviously* I don't know what would happen if I went to England...I'd never get to see any of the countryside because I'd be looking at every house, castle, and museum I could get a ticket to...and by the time I was done looking, I'd be a permanent resident. *LOL* Of course, that doesn't sound bad! Thank you for the well-wishes. I'm very hopeful about this year too! I hope yours is wonderful and blessed as well!

if you're having a rough day at work or just hate your job in general, stop by mcsweeney's and leaf through their interviews with people who have interesting or unusual jobs feature.
for my part, i found the interviews that discussed the secrets joys of whippets in the pump room, country crock receptacles and the ethical distinctions between band-aids and pasties quite entertaining.
if you're completely satisfied with your chosen profession and ethically abstain from surfing the net at work there is no reason for you to explore this quirky column. i hope that the rest of you read a few and share your reflections below.

Hi Jeff,
You're home today, too, huh? I am home unintentionally - due to a Ride scheduling snafu... *Sigh!*
- g13 said...
yeah beck, i'm at home with a projectile vomiting preston. good times. i'll be lucky if i get to catch a half day at work tomorrow.
on another note: i'd like to run an informal survey on the readers of this blog. if you're interested, please answer below.
1) have you ever done a whippet?
2) if so, have you ever hit the whippet at work?
for the record, my answer is 1) hells yes and 2) no. though there were plentiful opportunities to partake in such at the crack house in lincoln. by such restraint i proved, yet again, that i am a saint:)
- Smee said...
Poor Preston... I had a feeling that this might happen, based on what you were saying yesterday. Feel better, big guy! :)
And don't you get sick, Jeff - you have a big event to attend this weekend!
As for your survey, I'll answer:
- I don't know what a "whippet" is, so, I'd say that my answers are "no" and "no".
- g13 said...
no worries becky. i'd have to be projectile vomiting all over the unity candle to miss that event.
on another, slightly more disturbing note, while playing with preston i've been watching mr. rodgers on our muted television. the show might make for great television, but now that i am a parent i am seeing it with a whole 'nother set of eyes. to wit: there is no way that i would let my child regularly visit a single, male neighbor who regularly changes his clothes in front of children, often plays with puppets and goes on and on about showing the children his plants.
as much as it pains me to say it, if mr. rodgers lived in my neighborhood my pedophile alarm would be ringing.

July 17, 2010
He had an eye exam on Monday so his new opthamologist could get a baseline and he was extremely pleased with the effects of the treatment Benjamin had at Children's. He said Benjamin won't need another eye exam until the 26th. We were thrilled... he hates his exams so a two week break will be nice!
His new doctors also ordered head, stomach and kidney ultrasounds to follow-up previous diagnoses. His ventricles are still enlarged, but because they have been that way for awhile there's really no concern. Kidney stones are still present and the "mass" or possible hematoma that was in his stomach is no longer visible which is great.
The plan right now is for Benjamin to just chill and continue to grow. Ultimately he'll go back to Children's for a g-tube (gastric feeding tube) placement and to have his bowel reconnection sugery. He doesn't care for his nasogastric feeding tube and tends to pull it right out of his nose. He won't be coming home with this because he could aspirate, and because it'll be a long time before he can take everything by mouth (due in part to his short bowel and his neurological issues), a g-tube makes the most sense. God forbid he gets a cold, the g-tube will be valuable.
Speaking of colds, we were told today by one of his nurses that when we do take Benjamin home, he shouldn't go to the mall or be around too many people. I remember his pulmonary specialist at Children's telling us how scary that first winter can be for parents with a baby that has chronic lung disease. One of Jadyn's first words was "sanitizer" and it's a good thing she knows the importance of it because we'll all basically be bathing in it!
Continuing with the topic of bathing, I got to help with Benjamin's bath this morning. Definitely not a pleasurabe experince for the little guy. The only time he wasn't trying to fling himself over the side of the tub was when I massaged the shampoo into his hair. We love being able to be so hands on with Benjamin. Until only recently, the slightest touch was too much for him to handle. Knowing now that we can calm him down and make him happy by kissing him, caressing his head or patting his little bum is so rewarding.

HI, you don't know me, but I am a friend of Kelly's...and I have been following your son's remarkable journey!ReplyDelete
I have a son who was born at 30 weeks...and after reading today's post I wanted to offer a little bit of advise. When my son came home from the NICU we were also told not to go to the mall, stores and such. Someone gave me this advice. People LOVE babies, espcially little, tiny ones...and although being nice and kind and sweet, they just don't know the harm that they are doing by getting in the babies faces. So if you do have to go in public with the baby, keep him in his carrier, attached to the stroller, but cover the stroller with a bug netting. I did this and NO ONE came over to the carrier to "see the baby"!!! People just stay away...maybe they think that the baby is sleeping, or whatever...but it works...and he won't get over heated or anything!
Keep up the great work you are doing for Benjamin! and Keep up your great work Benjamin! 2 steps forward, 1 step back...but you will all get there!
(if you ever have any questions or ever just want to vent, please feel free to contact me)

A mother, a daughter, and a life-changing adventure around the
world . . .
Their bestselling memoir, Come Back, moved and inspired readers
with the story of Mia Fontaine's harrowing drug addiction and her
mother, Claire's, desperate and ultimately successful attempts to
save her. Now it's a decade later and Claire and Mia each face a
defining moment in her life, and a mother-daughter relationship
that has frayed around the edges. At fifty-one, Claire's shed her
identity as Mia's savior but realizes that, oops, she forgot to
plan for life after motherhood; Mia, twenty-five and eager to step
outside her role as recovery's poster child, finds adult life isn't
all it's cracked up to be. Determined to transform themselves and
their relationship once again, the pair sets off on a five-month
around-the-world adventure.
What awaits them is an extraordinary, often hilarious journey
through twenty cities and twelve countries--one that includes
mishaps, mayhem, and unexpected joys, from a passport-eating
elephant to a calamitous camel ride around the Pyramids--and
finally making peace with their tumultuous past in the lavender
fields of France, where they live for the last four months of the
trip. Seeing how self-possessed and community-minded
twentysomethings are in other countries broadens Mia's perspective,
helping her grow, and grow up. Claire uses the trip to examine her
broken relationship with her own mother, a Holocaust survivor, and
to create a vision for her second act. Watching her mom assess half
a century of life, Mia comes to know her as Claire has always known
Mia--as all mothers know their daughters--better than anyone else,
and often better than themselves.
Wiser for what they've learned from women in other cultures, and
from each other, they return with a deepened sense of who they are
and where they want to go--and with each embracing the mature
friendship they've discovered and the profound love they share.
Alternating between Claire and Mia's compelling and distinct
voices, Have Mother, Will Travel is a testament to the power and
beauty of the mother-daughter relationship, one that illuminates
possibilities for our own lives.

Good Lord what it takes to deploy someone these days.
We bailed out of Iraq, and I am constantly reminded of how irresponsible we were as a service in doing so. My experience thus far has been that we bailed and didn't leave anything behind to lead the support structure in regards to what the plan was after we left. It was (and should always be) obvious that when we leave a war zone we are not actually leaving. We will always plan to have folks that stay behind to take care of business. And thats what we did this time. We just took all the play books with us.

Mantis – hexapod robot based on the turbo diesel engine
Mantis – hexapod robot based on the turbo diesel engine
Group of crazy scientific minds of Micromagic Systems under Matt Denton for the last four years working on a four-legged robot «Mantis» («The Mantis"), rather like a spider and designed to transport people. The sample is rightly dubbed the "biggest vseprohodnogo hexapod robot in the world."
Weight of the robot is already 1900 kg, has grown – 2.8 meters, it works on the 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine Perkins and punctuated by various sensors (including load cells, sensors, steering angle and tilt, and inclinometer), which help him to walk. To coordinate the movement of the robot uses HexEngine, based on the Linux PC, which tracks the movement of 18 hydraulic actuators installed in the legs. Additional computer panel in the cab allows the robot to operate.
"This is definitely the largest hexapod we've ever built,"
– Says the company's founder and chief engineer Micromagic «Mantis» Matt Denton.
His company has been producing animatronics for film and television industry before. For example, his robots are used in virtually all parts of the filming of "Harry Potter." But «Mantis», it is rather a passion project for its inventor, which he eventually become a reality.
Projects like «Mantis» is not the first of its kind. At the same exhibition CES 2013 showed a large spider , although the size was smaller than the creation of Denton.

This is the food I liked the best... clams and oysters. Looks appetizing right? That's the one thing about Chinese food that I've found... the uglier it looks, the better. LOL
Here's my attempt at eating chicken feet.
Here's the group eating street food... we had fish balls, dumplings, bubble tea, etc... everything was great!
Here's that group at the restaurant. I absolutely love the open aired places here! We're sitting in the midst of the night market. The ladies from L to r are: Map (Chinese), Ave (from New Zealand), Hannah (American: our intern), Me, Imelda and Dorie (from Philippines).
Yeah!!! Map emailed me the pictures from our ladies night out... ah what fun memories.

Do you have a drone with an in-built camera? Are you looking for accessories to help you shoot amazing pictures?
Drone photography is 'the next best thing' but is likely to be more than a passing fad. It is increasingly popular for big events like weddings, where you want something sky-high pictures of your guests. It is a popular way to photograph landscapes and views of the ocean.
If you have a drone, you could be opening up a whole new world of exciting pictures.
A landing pad will protect your camera when you're launching and landing your drone. Keeping your camera lens completely clean, it will be clear to take astounding pictures. It will also protect the rotors from tall grass and pebble strikes.
At RK Photographic we have landing pads in two different diameters: 3 foot and 5 foot.
Our 3 Foot Diameter Landing Pad is bright orange and therefore extremely eye-catching. It easily springs into shape once let out of its carry case.
Its rustproof components can easily be cleaned with a towel.
Find out more about our 3 Foot Drone Landing Pad.

Bedtime Prayer
Good Night Dear God
The Sun has gone down from the Sky
And Peace of the Night is drawing Nigh,
I pray Dear God my soul you'll keep,
While in you're loving arm's I sleep.
Forgive the things I've done today,
When from your glorious path I'd stray.
And as I slumber through the night,
Please take my hand and hold it tight.
And when I awake to a brand new Morn,
Restored, Refreshed, Renewed, Reborn.
Once again I'll try dear God,
To be the person you would hope of me.
Sent to me From Brother Robert
How Great Thou Art

|The concept of safe indoor air quality for the management of indoor environment in immune buildings
|Hong Kong Polytechnic University -- Dissertations
Sick building syndrome
Indoor air pollution -- Health aspects
Air quality management
|Dept. of Building Services Engineering
|xxxvii, 422, 47 leaves : ill. (some col.) ; 30 cm.
|InnoPac Record:
|When Hong Kong picked up its economy after World War II, acceptable indoor built environment has been the challenge to many of the building services engineers. In 1990s "Healthy Building was put on the agenda in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the outbreak of SARS and its high infectious rates in buildings shatters the arrogance of the engineers. Professor Daniel W.T. Chan hypothesized the SARS virus was propagating through the drainage systems in high rise buildings and caused the vertical cluster infection in Block E of the Amoy Garden. The hypothesis was accepted in the report by World Health Organization after the investigation panel meeting on 30th April 2003. This study identifies a bottle neck of the usual notion of "Healthy Building. The invulnerability of "healthy building lies in its incapability of protection against infection. This thesis adds an important complement for the sake of optimizing the design of acceptable indoor built environment. The classic notion of 'healthy building' is first enhanced by a novel concept of 'Sustainable Immunized Building'. One of the features of this innovative approach is to provide a model for evaluation of relative protection against indoor cross infection in terms of reduction in probability through the enhancement of building and services system designs and operation. After a comprehensive review of the available models describing probability of indoor airborne infection, the Wells-Riley model, in a modified form, is used as a base. Firstly, the hypothesis of SARS virus propagation through the drainage system was demonstrated by tracer gas investigation in a 37 storey high rise residential buildings. The relative risk of cross-infection via drainage system was estimated. Secondly, a comprehensive field investigation and computational fluid dynamic analysis was conducted on the natural ventilation performance of typical high rise apartments. Thirdly, a comprehensive model is developed to explain the filtration mechanism of window type air-conditioned units typically found in residential buildings in Hong Kong. Fourthly, a new protocol is proposed for household air cleaner performance evaluation. The new "sustainable immunized building concept perfects the notion of "healthy building and provides a more valuable and pragmatic solution to protect building users.

The 'overPRICED' stock markets continue to sell off around the globe as the hopelessly corrupt financial system finally springs out of the proverbial bag
I say incurable. This is the diagnosis of an irreversible disease. The corruption and collapse of the rule of law, in the financial sphere, is basically irreparable. It's not just that restoring trust takes a long time. It's that under the new technological order in this field, it can not be done. The technologies are designed to sow and foster distrust and that is the consequence of using them. The recent experience proves this, it seems to me. And therefore there can be no return to the way things were before. In other words, we are at the end of the illusion of a market place in the financial sphere.
Well, how about it good citizen, can you say FUBAR? (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair)
Dunno if I read a different version of this speech yesterday but I recall Mr. Galbraith (or maybe it was someone else's commentary) concluding with the opinion that things were so far gone the only option remaining to us was to start over again from scratch.
Or was that just me reading my own beliefs into the statement?
No, it wasn't me.
(The version I read last night was posted on 'naked capitalism', this link leads to 'firedoglake'.)
And the two 'copies' ARE different…for reasons unknown.
Anyway, it's one thing for a nobody like myself to opine that the global financial system is hopelessly corrupt but quite another to have 'people of note' parrot the same viewpoint.
The question, naturally, is what does this improbable development mean?
It certainly, as Mr. Galbraith points out, not news so why admit it now?
Perhaps it is me who is missing the point, Mr. G has taken on the mantle of 'contrarian' and 'truthsayer' so the Corporate media may well just ignore his assertions.
I suspect the real 'revelation' here is that the 'economics community' is now on record as admitting they teach bullshit in exchange for a paycheck.
At least in Mr. Galbraith's opinion…
Until someone like Mr. Bernanke comes out an accuses the financial community of fraud, Mr. Galbraith's opinion will remain just that, an opinion.
The fact that the 'rest of the world' agrees with him will be of no consequence.
Until the hangings start, then all of a sudden it will be 'everybody knew and nobody bitched then!'
Which is to point out that by the time we get around to restoring justice the guilty will be falling back on the 'timeliness defense'.
It's not particularly productive to note that the timeliness defense didn't do the Nazis much good.
Neither does the 'everybody else was doing it' defense.
(Which will likely prove 'problematic' when the time comes but I guess what I'm saying is THAT time IS coming!)
What remains to be seen is who will be thrown to the wolves in the initial 'mock' trials and who gets it in the 'real' trials…
Don't doubt it for a second good citizen there will be two phases separated by an interval where nothing happens (improves) after the first trial.
The difference being is nothing will change after the 'dupes' are sacrificed, it will only be after the guilty are brought to justice that a new system will be put in place.
The danger lies in a new 'proposal' that is almost indistinguishable from what currently exists. Sadly most of you are so 'financially illiterate' that you will be unable to distinguish genuine change from the 'cosmetic'.
Just as most of you are unaware that the 'financial innovations' the won Alan Greenspan a Knighthood and that Larry Summers praises so highly are indistinguishable from COUNTERFEITING!
But hey, when you get that far out there, 'reality' is whatever I say it is…(say the so-called 'Masters of the Universe')
Naturally, they were 'st-runk' out of their minds when they stumbled upon this interesting (and considerably self-centered) point of view, which is still no excuse.
It is one thing to spout nonsense and quite another to defend it as both real and rational.
Which is to direct your attention to 'center stage' where both dominate a highly improbable scene.
Left to our collective imagination is whether or not the 'majority opinion' will hasten the collapse of our civilization?
Like Porter Stanisbury says, it's not a question of 'if' but 'when?'
So what's your poison, good citizen, whiskey or gunpowder?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

I'm running for Team Stupid Cancer. It's a cause that hits close to home for me, as I'm married to a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at age 33 (yep, pack your bags, you're going on a guilt trip). I can tell you first hand that treatment is only part of the story. We got through it through an amazing support system of family and friends who had experience with cancer. But when you're under 40, cancer just isn't a topic of conversation and not everyone who receives a diagnosis knows where to turn. That's where Stupid Cancer comes in.
Since 2009, Team Stupid Cancer has helped to raise over $100,000 in support of our mission to empower young adults affected by cancer. They're an amazing organization and I'm proud to run on their behalf. I'm running 13.1 miles for them, and all I'm asking from you, is a donation. Guilt trip now over.

Chicago Trip
So last week in Chicago I was a little busy. I did not have much time to post but I wanted to share some pictures so you can see how God worked.
I had a great plan for this week. We were going to do so much and it was going to be great. Well I quickly learned that my plan was not the plan that God wanted to happen. The plan I had created was tossed out the window when opportunities to do the Lord's plan dropped right in front of us. Come to think about it... every time I went to make a plan God changed it.
We did God's plan the whole week! One day He lead us to just pray so we obeyed. I had to force the students to stop praying and eat dinner. God was really working!
I got to know a lot of the students really well and got to see Jesus work through all of them. God is good!
I pray that they continue to seek and ask God in all that they do.

Lillie did mention that she's trying out something new. I am not sure if its her first at hardanger or at Chinese knot tying. Either way, I'm the beneficiary of it. Lucky me. Don't you think that this bookmark is reflective of what's being celebrated now and what's coming round the corner? That's right, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day! The colours do tell the same tale. Blue for romance and red (hearts) for passion, love and lust... hmm. Red is also for "ong" or lucky in Chinese. How clever of you, Lillie, to think of these.
Thank you so much for this, Lillie. Hardanger is on my to-learn list. You seemed to be able to read my mind as you have just given me a close-up of what its like. I can't say that I'm dancing with joy as my ankle still hurts BUT you can say that my mouth is a mile wide and I cannot wipe the smile off.

Eddie Murphy followed up his Eddie Murphy success with this fantasy adventure that plops him right into the land of Ray Harryhausen and Indiana Jones. The plot revolves around a God-like youngster (J.L. Reate) known as a "golden child," who has been sent to Tibet to bring the gift of compassion to humanity. But the devil isn't idle, sending his emissary, Sardo Numspa (Charles Dance) to kidnap the golden child. Sardo absconds with the child and takes off to Los Angeles. In L.A., a beautiful Tibetan priestess named Kee Nang (Charlotte Lewis) seeks out Chandler Jarrell (Eddie Murphy), a social worker and self-styled "finder of lost children." She tells Chandler he has been chosen to rescue the magical child from the devil and save the world from evil. Before Chandler can let go of his first riposte, he finds himself holding a magic dagger, following a sacred parakeet, and under-going several trials by fire. He also falls in love with Kee Nang, who at one point in the film has to be brought back from the dead. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

The Czech people fully respect the use of one of the most important aspects of the Swiss constitutional system, of people´s referendum and don´t feel they have any right to comment on its results – regardless the topic. It would be unproductive to a priori restrict the range of questions which could be raised in a referendum. We should not accept the ruinous effects of the currently so fashionable wave of political correctness.
I consider the question raised in the last Swiss referendum as correct politically (which doesn´t imply that it must be politically correct). The question was fair. The massive movements of people across the borders of sovereign countries, made possible in the last decades by the elimination of borders, by the increasing acceptance of the ideology of multiculturalism and by the wide-spread over-generous state paternalism, no doubt undermine the coherence of countries and make life there much less pleasant and comfortable than in the past. This is – I suppose – the feeling of many Swiss citizens.
Switzerland, a rich, traditionally democratic and relatively open society, has in the last decades become the destination of many non-political immigrants, much more than the Czech Republic. In our society and economy – partly due to communism – the number of immigrants, of people born abroad, is much lower and the issue of immigration has not yet become the topic of the day. It may, however, change very rapidly. (It is also necessary to mention that my own sister emigrated from Czechoslovakia in August 1968, in the moment of the Warsaw Pact armies invasion into Czechoslovakia, into your country and lives – together with her family – close to Baden ever since.)
The results of the Swiss referendum are quite rational and expected, for me the only surprise is the small margin in favour of the "YES" answer. The size of the problem of massive immigration in Europe (and in Switzerland especially) seems to me bigger than the small margin between "YES" and "NO" votes. I do not see the result of the referendum as saying NO to immigration but as saying SLOW DOWN the immigration into my country, please. This message should not be misinterpreted. I strongly believe that any country has a right to say something like that. The irresponsible multiculturalists, the globalists, the Europeists see it, of course, differently. They are wrong. We should not subscribe to the new illiberal, collectivistic "isms", which aim at suppressing our freedom.
It is no surprise that the results of the Swiss referendum created a consternation and panic in the commanding heights in Brussels. The EU is already a post-democratic and post-political area. After being in the EU for ten years, the Czechs feel it very strongly. The EU politicians and bureaucrats are basically against the idea of people´s referendum because they are not interested in the views of the people. They are afraid of them. The EU rulers have a repeated experience that the results of various referenda, carried out in the past years in individual EU member-countries, very often brought for them unacceptable, in their interpretation anti-European, in any case politically incorrect, which means wrong, results. They want to motivate all of us to think "continentally" which requires suppressing the nation states, diminishing the role of national borders, promoting the liquidation of naturally existing coherence of nations and encouraging the massive and unrestricted migration. They must be frustrated by the results of the referendum.
The whole debate is in its substance about freedom. One would expect that the traditional advocates of freedom and liberty, the European liberals (sometimes it is necessary to say classical liberals to distinguish them from American, Obama-like liberals), understand and correctly interpret this issue and see clearly where to stand, what stance to take. I see, however, that some European classical liberals are confused in this respect. They consider all kinds of freedoms positive, therefore, even the unrestricted freedom to migrate is positive according to them.
As someone who spent almost 50 years of his life in communist Czechoslovakia and was blocked from moving to the West then, I very strictly differentiate between the terms "to migrate", "to emigrate" and "to immigrate". Many Czechs were frustrated by not being allowed to freely emigrate (I didn´t intend to do it, but I also felt the frustration), but I would have never considered the possibility of immigrating into any specific country as one of my "rights". I am afraid this is not fully understood by some classical liberals in Europe. They support – for me quite irrationally – the weakening of European states which is in its full consequences a very anti-liberal measure. Shifting the competences from individual countries to the EU level isn´t a desirable weakening of the institution of a state but the undesirable strengthening of one superstate, of the EU, which is much less democratic than any individual European state. It does not increase the freedom in Europe, it impairs it. It is a pity that even some of the believers in Mises and Hayek do not see this.
To conclude, I congratulate the Swiss people on making such a decision. I can assure them that their decision was much more welcomed by ordinary people in Europe and in the Czech Republic than by politicians and journalists so prominent in the media.

Bibliographic details
Ashburton Guardian, Ashburton Guardian, Volume III, Issue 667, 20 June 1882
Police Court. —There was a clean sheet at the above Court this morning. Personal. —A pleasing ceremony took place the other evening at Acton Station, llakaia, when Mr W. L. Allan, the wellknown manager, was made the recipient of a handsome gold watch, the gift of the station hands, as a mark of their appreciation of his consistency as an employer, and to celebrate the occasion of his entering the Benedict state.
The Stanmorb Election. —Mr Cowlishaw addressed the electors of Stanmore at Phillipstown last night, and with great difficulty placed his views before those present, owing to the almost incessant interruptions. At the conclusion of the candidate's address, a motion of thanks was proposed and seconded, and also an amendment, repudiating the conduct of the candidate at the last o'cction, and stating that he was not " a fit and proper person " to represent Btanmoro. Both motion and amendment were put from the chair, but neither were carried, and the meeting terminated with three cheers for one of the other candidates. At Bingsland, Mr Pilliet addressed a meeting, and received a vote of thanks and confidence, Mr S. P. Andrews taking the opportunity to state that he should retire in favor of Mr Pilliet. Referring to his professed ignorance of the provisions of the Corrupt Practices Prevention Bill, the candidate made the following confession:—"One evening, after a meeting of electors, he had gone home tired and with a bad headache. ' Copy ' was wanted for the paper, and without actually reading the article in question, he had out it out as it had already appeared in another paper, merely adding three lines at the top and three jines at the bottom."
Floated. —The ship City of Perth, stranded at Timaru on May 14th, was successfully towed off yesterday afternoon by the tug Lyttelton. She will be taken to Port Chalmers to be docked. Pink Club. —The usual meeting of the above Club is postponed from Thursday (he 22nd to Friday tire 23rd, on account of the counter attraction of the excursion to Christchurch, which takes place tomorrow.
Bigamy.—A woman named Ellen Kelly has been arrested at Auckland on a charge of bigamy, having married Alex. Davidson on the 10th October, her husband, William Kelly being then alive. She was brought up at the Court yesterday morning and remanded. No Case. —Judge Gillies sat in Chambers at Napier on Saturday to settle issues in civil cases. In the action of Gannon v. Craig for libel, damage L 2,000, the Judge remarked that there was no libel and nothing to try, and that the plaintiff could gain nothing by proceeding further. Messrs Brassey and McLean for plaintiff, Mr Finn for defendant.
The Licensing Act. —A well attended meeting of persons interested in temperance was held in the City Hall, Wanganui, last evening. A resolution was carried unanimously in favor of a petition to Parliament against the amendment of the Licensing Act, on the ground that the Act should have a fair trial.
The Exhibitors' Ball.—About 200 persons were present at this gathering, which took place last night in the Art Gallery of the Exhibition, and was pronounced by those present a most unqualified success, the catering (which was in the hands of Mr Messenger, of His Lordship's Larder fame) being exceptionally good.
Fires in South Canterbury.—Three stacks of wheat at Otipua, the property of Charles Delamain, were burnt on Sunday morning. There is no clue as to the cause of the fire. The stacks were insured for L3OO in the New Zealand office.
At night a brewery at Geraldine, belongto Edmund Berry, was burnt. It was insured in ihe Victoria Fire and Marine Insurance Office for LIOO.
inAsHBURTON Football Club.—A meettog of the committee of the above Club ci ok place last evening, when it was doLdcd that Messrs Hussey, Hugomin, ocliuer, Pauling, J., A., and E. Fooks, Breft, Fish, Evans, Hunt, Church, Groves, Winter, Shury, Hart, Hepburn, and Wood should form the team to play against the East Christchurch Club on Saturday next.
The Exhibition. —To-morrow Ashburtonites will have a capital opportunity of visiting the " world's fair," the railway authorities having announced a special train for Christchurch at what the play bills would call " million prices." The " special" is timed to leave Ashburton at 9.16 a m., and Christchurch, on its return journey, at 5.55 p.m., thus giving our paterfamilias an excellent opportunity to take their better halves and olive branches to the big show, which is to close in rather leas than a mouth. The " Clean-Sheeters." —The Press' special at Wellington wires:—" There is some talk of a new party, calling themselves the " clean-sheet " party, their basis of operation being to " let the dead past bury its dead," and start afresh with a clean sheet. This idea seems popular among the new members, who are evidently much puzzled whom to believe, after the positive affirmations and denials to which they have been alternately treated by both sides regarding past transactions." Te Whiti and Tohu. —These Maori(says a contemporary) returned to Christchurch from their Southern trip on Saturday, one effect of the cold weather experienced in the Lake district being that Te Whiti was seriously indisposed, and had to rest for a few days at Oamaru. At present they are stopping at the Golden Fleece Hotel, where Messrs Ward and Butler have made every provision for their comfort. To Whiti and Tohu both express satisfaction at their return to Christchurch. The Native Minister. —Says the Wellington correspondent of a Christchurch contemporary:—"There has been a long Cabinet meeting at Major Atkinson's house this evening, the result of which has not transpired; but it is known that Mr Bryce is greatly annoyed at the strong opposition which the Natives Reserves Bill has encountered from members of the Ministerial party. It is even rumored that he has openly declared his intention of resigning if the Bill does not pass substantially in the state in which he introduced it; but this I cannot vouch for."
A Stormy Trip. —The Kakanui's last voyage from Dunedin to Invercargill was an eventful one. On opening out the Otago Heads it was found that a very heavy sea was running on the bar. After taking one of these rollers in safety she broached to and got into the trough of the sea. The next roller completely buried her, the water running down the funnel, causing considerable damage in the engine room and captain's cabin. Fortunately the vessel recovered herself, and succeeded in getting on to the seas again. Some deck cargo was set adrift, but only a small portion went overboard. The mate, who was steering, narrowly escaped being washed overboard.
Ashburton Bridge. The much needed repairs in the shape of re-deoking the Ashburton Bridge have at last been put in hand by the railway authorities. Some time back the ironwork was thoroughly overhauled, and as soon as the present repairs are finished the bridge will be as good as new. So as not to interfere with the traffic, only about a dozen planks are removed at a time. But as the railway authorities notify at each end of the bridge that it is now under repairs, and that they will not be responsible for any accidents that may occur by people crossing it at present, it would be much bettor for anybody with a restive horse to go through the river, as it is tolerably low just now ; but at the same time the bridge is perfectly safe for a pedestrian or any one with a quiet animal.
Political. —The New Zealand Times of yesterday says:—" Various caucuses have been hold among Parliamentary representatives during the last few days, and the results, so far as yet apparent, point to the formation of two parties arrayed against the present Ministry—one under the leadership of Sir George Grey and the other under Mr Montgomery, with a sort of tacit agreement prevailing that wdien the fitting time comas they will coalesce for defensive and offensive purposes. The arrangement, assuming that it has any foundation outside the uncertainty of passing rumor, doer not indicate any dignified staple of opposition." The Times also claims Major Harris, the newly-elected member for Franklyn North, as a Government supporter, on the strength of an utterance by the candidate at the nomination, which took place at Otahuhu on Friday, the 11th instant. Major Harris is reported by the New Zcalandllemld to have spoken as follows: "As to supporting Mr Whitaker, it was true ho had promised his support to au Auckland man, and he would give it. Ho would give Mr Whitaker's Government a thoroughly fair trial, but he would not be dragged through the dirt by any Government." The correspondents of other papers also report him to have declared his intention to support the Premier and his Government. Throughout his candidature Major Harris constantly expressed similar sentiments in language which was not equivocal, and he appears to have been accepted by the constituency on those conditions.
Riverton. —Mr F. P. O'Reilly, late of Ashburton, has been appointed solicitor to
tlits Town Council of Riverton, Otago. The Comet. —This erratic" stranger appeared last evening low down on the horizon in a westerly direction. It is to he hoped the shy will be cleat er to-night, when no doubt the comet will be more plainly visible.
Marriages : Clergy v. Registrar.— Notwithstanding that the Church does not look favorably upon civil marriages (says the Auckland Herald), they appear, judging from statistics, to be on the increase, and growing popular. Last year, the marriages celebrated by Mr J. M. Wayland, the district Registrar of Marriages, numbered 13f>. Since the beginning of the year he had made happy no less than 70 couples, which indicates a substantial increase of business in his department. The Acetic Acid Cure. —Messrs Mackay Bros., of Christchurch, the wholesale agents for Messrs Coutts and Son, who prepare this infallible remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, sore throats, etc., notify elsewhere that they have at present a large stock on hand, and that they are prepared to supply it in large or small quantities. There is a large demand for acetic acid for domestic and medicinal purposes ; ic is also a valuable antidote for certain poisons. As will be seen from the advertisement, Messrs Mackay Bros, offer to forward to any address a pamphlet on the subject gratis.
Debating Society. —A private entertainment in connection with the above instead of the usual debate will take place to-morrow evening, at the upper room, Saunders' Buildings, where the Society will in future meet. Mr H. M. Jones'will lend a piano for the occasion, and some of the most prominent members of the Society have consented to give songs, readings, and recitations. Some ladies, wa understand, will also be present and take pact in the programme. As all members are allowed to bring a couple of friends we expect to be able to chronicle a large attendance. The Death of Garibaldi.— The news of the death of the illustrious patriot Garibaldi was received with profound regret throughout Europe A national monument is to be erected to his memory in Italy, and subscriptions towards that object are flowing in from all quarters. Statues of the deceased General are to be erected in his honor in various towns of Italy and the Continent. The death of Garibaldi was announced in the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, and immediately on receipt of the nows the sitting of the Chamber was suspended, and an adjournment unanimously agreed to as a mark of respect to Garibaldi's memory.
How John Had the Faro Keeper.—A Chinaman recently went into a Loadville faro bank, and placed a paper of gold dust on the ace. The ace lost, and the dealer weighing the dust, found that it was worth about 50dols. He was about to throw the paper away, when John asked for it, saying there were some " washee washee " accounts upon it which he required. _ The next night he returned and bet a similar paper. This time he won, and as the dust weighed 40dols, the dealer proposed to pay him upon that basis. The heathen shook his head. " You payee all I bet V' "Certainly," answered the dealer. Then John, carefully unwrapping the paper, showed hidden between its folds a lOOdol bill. "Ho must have it," sighed the look-out man ; " he's got us dead." The bank note was there the night before, but the dealer had handed it back. This was his fault, however, not the Chinaman's.
The Late Nor'-Wester. —The nor'wester that blew so hard at the latter end of last week seems to have done some little damage at Akaroa. Judging from what the local paper says, all the boats, including the yacht Chance, and some large whaleboats, seem to have broken adrift and either sunk or been driven high up the beach. The jetty also seems to have sustained some little damage. On shore matters do not appear to have been much better, as some of the best fruit trees suffered severely by being stripped of their fruit. In Lyttelton, the wind seems to have been nearly as severe, as the s.s. Akaroa was unable to face it, although she badly wanted to get to Akaroa with the pump for the ss. Westport, which vessel was ashore there. The Ashburton and Rakaia rivers were higher than they have been known to be for some years past, but we have have not heard of any damage near home. A Liberal Bishop. —The Bishop of Waiapu was present recently at a Wesleyan anniversary soiree at Napier, and delivered an address. He said that his being present that evening was an instance of the possibility of the riciprocity and mutuality that should exist between the different branches of the Christian Church, the pastor of that church, Mr Lewis, had favored the Church of England Temperance Society with his presence at a recent meeting, and he (the Bishop) had much pleasure in accepting the invitation to be present at the celebration that evening of the anniversary of Trinity Church. He took very great interest in that congregation, and, in fact, in every congregation that calls itself Christian. It seemed to him that Christians should stand together shoulder to shoulder, and deal with each other with Christian charity. His Lordship (according to the Hawke's Bay Herald) then proceeded to give instances that had come within his personal knowledge of different denominations uniting in good works with the best results, and concluded by urging upon them as a congregation to do their utmost to establish the reading of the Bible in the schools throughout the colony.
Rather Rough.—The Timaru Herald.
usually circumspect enough, has been had" in a very cruel manner. A paragraph appeared in the Herald a few days ago drawing attention to the tact that Mr Turnbull, M.H.11., had said that for his part h« did not care about being reported in "Hansard." In reference to this " par." an anonymous letter appeared in yesterday's Herald which set the town laughing, and which is destined to become as famous in its way as the celebrated " Chantry is an idiot " hoax. The letter is as follows: — The member for Timaru.—To the Editor of the Timarn Herald. —Sir,—Your pithy summing up of the character of our member in epigramatic Latin quotation in this morning's paper tickled my fancy immensely, and I am sure that no leader you could have written on the subject would have been so telling ; but I think it a pity that you did not give the translation for the benefit of your readers. lam no Latin scholar, but better versed in the language of the Gael, but believe that "Out of nothing nothing comes " very nearly hits the nail on the head, and it is almost identical with our Erse proverb (which is known almost as well as the Latin), ''S' sanasidlare/i, ehtfo rotideeht" to say that he represents the public opinion of any but the smallest section of the community is a libel on our understanding.—l am, &c. Uussiii Siosdna. June 19th, 18S2, Thu italics arc to be read backward, when they make the following—" The editor of the Herald is an ass." The signature treated in the same manner 's almost as startling—" And so is his sub ! "

My first website I ever created from scratch was a little naruto page where I added some photos and some text and a little bit of javascript. It's not responsive, but for me it looked very nice. I was really happy because I made a website on my own.
I used HTML/CSS/Javascript.
The videoplayer will work only if the site is hosted. Here is a link to it: http://narutofinal.hol.es/
I don't own the pictures from the website. I just coded it.
There will be a link to the source code on my github soon.

Armored (2009) - FILM
The poster is more exciting than the actual film.
Sigh. There's the material in here for a solid 42 minute of episodic television, but there's barely the skeleton of a film. We need meat! The cast of decent actors (A stressed out Matt Dillon, a evil Lawrence Fishburne, a barely there Jean Reno) do their best with the unsurprising material: "Good guy gets trapped in armored car. The bad guys try to get in.". And that doesn't even happen till forty minutes in. There's some tension and a few neat stunts, but nothing worth the feature length slog. Was there a tense three hour character film that hit the cutting room floor? I doubt it. Director Nimrod Antal has been slumming since his visually astute (but narrative mangled) debut CONTROL. Lets hope his work on the rabidly anticipated cult property PREDATORS will be a return back to form.

Mr. Alan Williams
I beg to move Amendment No. 83, in page 37, line 22, at end insert:'(aa) goods which by their nature are consumed by use and which, before the cancellation, were so consumed, or'.
§ Mr. Speaker
I understand that it will also be convenient to take Amendments Nos. 84 and 85.
Mr. Williams
These amendments are drafting matters to clarify what is meant in Clause 72(9)(c) by goods which "were consumed". The phrase is intended to cover not only goods that are eaten but goods consumed in other ways—such as petrol, which is consumed in cars, or paint, which is consumed by being daubed—at least in my household—rather than in any artistic way on walls or woodwork. Wallpaper comes within the provision. The amendments are intended to make it clear that such goods are covered by the phrase "consumed in use". Amendment No. 85 is consequential.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Further amendments made: No. 84, in page 37, line 24, leave out 'were consumed or'.
§ No. 85, in page 37, leave out lines 28 and 29.—[Mr. Alan Williams.]

It's a cheap gimick to make money off a gorilla suit, just like, oh, all the other Bigfoot claims.
Even assuming that such a creature could/does exist, consider the tiny fragments of habitat it would have left, and the resulting tiny populations. If there are giant ape-men wandering around, by now they're so inbred they've got webbed feet and an instinctual knowledge of the banjo.

Some of my students got really into it.
And in this one the people are green.
Students weren't quite as excited to fill in the articles and colors with adjective endings, but most of them did get them done eventually. (Not all of the answers above are correct!)
We took a break for some students to present dialogues, and then students did the activity below to practice in a format similar to the quiz they will take next class.
I created this activity myself at this awesome site called LearningApps.org. It's free and really cool! There are public activities which you can search and use, or you can create your own.
What I like about this activity is that the students can check their work, and then they fix the ones that are wrong. Our school is scheduled to become 1-1 next fall with tablet computers, but for now we have 2 carts of iPads which the world language teachers share, so I had my students scan a QR code which took them to this activity which works on a iPad's internet browser.
I am equally proud of myself for creating this activity and for figuring out how to embed it here!

Goldsithney - St Piran's Hall Playground
The Parish Council has taken over the management of the outdoor play area at St Piran's Hall and has installed some new equipment and refurbished the older equipment. The area is also fenced in now. It is a useful resource for supervised young children/grandchildren/visiting relatives.
