I've heard that broken bones heal stronger than they were prior to the injury. I haven't confirmed this as medically true, but I believe the same is true for broken relationships.
When I apologize to my children, it causes them to trust me more.
When I let my children know that my attitude with the cashier at the store was wrong, it causes them to respect me more.
When I ask my husband's forgiveness in front of my children, it causes them to love me more.
Humility draws others closer to us. Pride and unwillingness to ask forgiveness pushes people away.

The Day Sky
Last week the entry wasn't all that educational. That is why this week I am going to try my best to teach something. Let's see, I could blog about why the grass is green. Although it is a complex process it doesn't interest me. I am going to continue with the concept of the sky from a few weeks ago. This time, however, I will focus on the day sky.
Most of us don't think much of the day sky. Yet, it is important to know certain things about it. Why the sky is blue is something that we all should know. The smart mouths will be quick to say it is because of the atmosphere. That is true, but it is not the complete answer.
Sunlight travels to Earth and comes in contact with the atmosphere. In the atmosphere there are gas and dust particles in the air. It happens that blue light is the one affected by these particles. The dust particles are bigger than the blue light waves and smaller than the red light waves. The blue light is scattered in all directions by these particles in the air. Simply, the blue in the sky we see is scattered blue light.
Then why are sunrises and sunsets red? The sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere, meaning more particles in the air, compared to when it is directly above us. The blue light and all other colors are scattered so much that only red, orange, and yellow light remains visible. I hope it makes sense and good luck retaining the information.

Recently James finished co-ordinating the last in a series of 3 trainings on nutrition (each one a week long). Basically the goal was to teach Lao NGO health staff how to teach nutrition in the rural villages where they work – a training for trainers. Many poor people in Laos, especially children, do not get enough nutrients. Most people do get enough calories, but they are lacking nutrients like fat, iron, vitamin A, protein, and calcium, One way to deal with this problem is to help villages find affordable nutrient rich foods. For example, peanuts are readily available in many villages and they are a more affordable source of protein than meat.
One day there was a contest at the training to see which group could invent the healthiest snack with ingredients that are available in the villages. One group thought of fried sweet potatoes, which are good for their vitamin A, but they don't have much else, so the teacher recommended pairing fried sweet potatoes with a nutrient rich dip. I made these dips for a snack the next day to see if they could be a healthy addition to the sweet potatoes. I thought people would like the peanut dip better because of the chili and soy sauce, but they actually really liked the tahini!
For both of these recipes, just combine the ingredients in a bowl and stir.
Peanut Dip – provides protein, fat, and vitamin C
- 1/4 C peanut butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 thai chili, minced
- 1 t soy sauce
- 1 T lime juice
- 3 T water
Tahini Dip – provides fat, copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and iron
- 1/4 C tahini paste (by this I mean tahini made of only toasted sesame seeds, olive oil, and salt)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 t salt
- 1 T lime juice
- 2 T water

The Scarlet Letter Chillingworth's Perspective Essay
When Chillingworth comes to America and resides with Native Americans he has a very different outlook on life than when he sees Hester on the scaffold. Beforehand, he had a far more positive outlook to the future, due to the fact that he is unaware of his wife's affair. Chillingworth had spent years of his life attempting to gain the love and affection of Hester, and planned on continuing that course once he reunited with her. Chillingworth had been making an effort to improve their marriage. He displays this by saying, "Hester, I drew thee into my heart, into its innermost chamber, and sought to warm thee by the warmth which thy presence made there." (63). He perhaps even expected them to begin a happy, new life immediately upon his arrival in the New World. Chillingworth also tried to get Hester to love him by paying off all of her families' debt. He may have thought that if he helped her family financially, he may get Hester to appreciate his generosity, and thus perhaps lull him into loving him. Overall, it is clear that Chillingworth was trying to appear to be the best husband he could be and impress Hester.
After Chillingworth sees what Hester has done, he starts to reevaluate the past few years of his life that he has been married to Hester. He realizes that he should not have
Weber 2/2
tried so hard to get Hester to love him, and admits that when he says, "It was my folly"(63). However, as disappointed as he was that Hester committed adultery, he felt more anger against the person who lay down with Hester. This is possibly due to jealousy because the person who did this with Hester was able to get her to love him, while Chillingworth in all his attempts was not able to get her to love him. Chillingworth stated that he plans to find the man, and when he does, he does not want to report him to the authorities. The reason he gives for this is that if he tells on the man who...

And here we are again. Another year has come and gone. Where did you go, 2008? It seems like I hardly knew you and honestly when looking back I'm kind of glad. It's a year that I hope to never have to re-live again.
When I look back I can only think of one thing that typifies this past year. 18-1. And I mean that in much more than just the literal sense. When I think of 18-1, I think of what could have been. Because really 2008 was full of many lost opportunities. Let's take a look back...
After catching some extremely bad luck, something finally fell my way when I got a job working for a top tier literary and talent management company in April. Everything was great at first. I was learning a lot and even though I worked long hours, I didn't mind. In May, I took a temp assignment within the company that was very difficult, but I stuck through it and lasted on the desk for six weeks. I was even applauded during the staff meeting for stepping up.
Then, I started another assignment in late June and it would be my undoing. I was working for two assholes, who had little to no compassion. I was put in a tough position of being offered the position on a full-time basis in August and accepted. I was their fourth assistant of 2008 (the three others quit, two in less than a month). Soon after I realized it was a huge mistake. They gave up on me and I gave up on them. I officially gave notice in October and left in early November.
I don't really have any regrets. I was a beaten man. Not really happy with myself and I don't want to live like that. I don't want to have to get high every night to simply kill the pain of a long work day. More importantly, I don't want to turn into the people I work for. I don't want to be alone in my 40s. I don't want to try to be picking up random girls on facebook and telling people I'm a big deal, when I really am not. I looked around there some days and the majority of the managers there had nothing, but money and their career. What is really more important? I thought I knew the answer, but 2008 showed me a different perspective.
I can honestly write here that I lost my passion for the business. At least in the sense of making major motion pictures. I still do want to produce, but only independent work. I like to describe the film industry as a bunch of bullshit. Really, it's a bullshit business that you really don't understand unless you've sat on a desk at a major studio, agency, management, or production company. Yes, it's high pressure and sometimes millions of dollars are being discussed, but should it really matter if you don't answer the phone right away? Or respond to an instant message in five seconds? Half the time you get yelled at for menial things that really don't matter in the big picture.
I just don't know if I can do this type of work for the rest of my life. If I do, then I may be dead by 50. It burns you out. Especially when you feel like you're working even when you're home. I never felt so tense in my life. I just know that if I do take another entertainment job in 2009, then I will be very conservative in accepting any offer. I'm not going to fall in another trap again.
It was also a tough year as I lost my Aunt in February. She was 86 and living in a nursing home after suffering a stroke in 2006, but it was still extremely difficult. She watched my sister and I a lot when we were kids, so I have a lot of memories and still miss her. Then, my grandfather suffered a stroke in November, but is pulling through. He has fully regained his speech and his mobility is getting better, so at least that is good news.
In politics, Barack Obama became the first African American president. While that is exciting, it was disappointing to see California ban gay marriage. I will say that voting in person for the first time was definitely one of my highlights of the year.
In sports, I watched the Patriots blow their chance at being the greatest team of all time when they were upset in Super Bowl XLII. I think it's safe to say that the Patriots were probably the most unlucky professional sports franchise in 2008. They lose against the Giants to go 18-1. Watching that final drive again, I simply scratched my head how that all went down. Then again, I'm not going to get into it. This season there was hopes of redemption, but Tom Brady went down in the season opener with a torn ACL. Matt Cassel did a great job coming in and led them to an 11-5 record, but the Pats still failed they to make the playoffs. Finally, to top off the year, there are reports Brady might need even more surgery and miss all of 2009.
The Red Sox put up a gallant effort to repeat as world champions, but fell to the Devil Rays in game seven of the ALCS. The Bruins fell in game seven to the Canadiens even though they were a number eight seed. Yes, the Celtics won the NBA championship and that was probably the only team to fully reach its potential in 2008. Then again, I guess one championship is better than none.
Will 2009 be any kinder to Boston sports? The Celtics are in good position to repeat. The Red Sox should contend. Though, I think 2009 could the year of the Bruins. I like this '08-'09 team a lot and maybe they could finally put together a playoff run or do I dare say Stanley Cup championship.
As we shift to movies, I watched the 2007 Oscar season get all screwed up due to the WGA strike. Then to make things even worse, I only predicted 15 out of 24 categories correct. Though the icing on the cake was watching Paul Thomas Anderson lose Best Director and Best Picture for There Will Be Blood to the damn Coen Brothers and No Country for Old Men.
I did move to Hollywood this past year, but I would say there is a very good chance that I will probably move again as I simply can afford to live comfortably in a studio at this point in my life. I have managed to pay my bills and all, but there is no cushion to save any large amount of money with the type of salary of I was earning.
I'm not really sure what I want to do in 2009 with my career. As I stated previously, I still want to still active in the film industry, but I may very well try to get another job in the day. I have a vision of what I would like to happen, but I need help from others and I'm not sure it will happen. I don't anticipate this vision to be carried out for another couple years, but it's something that needs to start happening soon.
I'm also seriously considering going back to school to get my masters degree. And believe it or not, I'm not thinking film. I want options in my life and I think a masters would give me that. At the moment, I'm not going to say what I'm thinking of studying, but I think it would be very beneficial to not only me, but others.
Speaking of others, I'm still flying solo and would really like to meet someone who shares the same passions in life as myself. Will I meet her in 2009? I don't know. I would really appreciate a little help from my friends, but that seems to never happen. Apparently in this day and age, people don't set friends up on dates.
I look back at 2008 and think what could have been. I also look back and see all the possibilities it showed me. Some good, some bad, some ugly. It's part of life. As shitty as some things were this past year, now comes the test to see it I can overcome it all and still succeed. And this past year also showed me that success comes in more ways than one. Everyone's success is measured differently. What's more important is whether you think you're successful and that's how I'm going to live in 2009. I don't really give a shit about what other people think because if I did, then I would still be working at that management company getting yelled at by two assholes...
My New Years Resolution(s):
- Blog more
- Predict a perfect score at this year's Oscars
- Work out more
- Drink less beer
- Smoke less cannabis
- Buy a hamster
- Buy less DVDs
- Save money
- Join Big Brother
- Save the world from global warming
- Watch all five of P.T. Anderson's films in one day
- Study even more about The Beatles
- Have lots of sex
Happy New Year

Yes, Halloween was just yesterday.
Yes, Thanksgiving is still weeks away.
And yet, and YET, today I urge you to run to Trader Joe's and get an ADVENT CALENDAR!
|David praying to the Valrhona gods, offering thanks for putting out the advent calendars in October.
(We found it in the Reston, VA store - a new store for us! Details on it soon!)
Crazy early, I know, but don't blame me, I am not the one who already put Valrhona Advent Calendars on the shelves at Trader Joe's! I didn't put 'em there, I just spotted them! And of course, I snagged one!!! AND SO SHOULD YOU!
You need one of these for oh so many reasons. Let me tout just a few:
1. Valrhona chocolate is ahhh-mazing. Seriously delicious, very high quality chocolate.
2. This is an advent calendar for ADULTS. Ain't no snowmen. Ain't no Santas. Ain't no waxy a** chocolate! No - each and every day of December until Christmas reveals a delectable, delicious, super good chocolate.
|Here is the pretty inside. It looks just like last year! So lovely.
3. It is the SAME PRICE as last year ($9.99), which is crazy cheap for all of the great chocolate you are getting.
|$9.99 in one store in 2015....
|$9.99 in another store in 2015
|TADA! STILL $9.99 at the Reston, VA store in 2016! Thanks Trader Joe's!
4. On December 24th you get a big candy bar (see photo of inside of the calendar above - check out the 24th!)! Not one of those little fancy squares, but a genuine full size real life chocolate bar. (If you want to be kind, you can share it with a friend, but you don't have to.)
5. It will help you count down the days until Christmas. "But my family doesn't CELEBRATE Christmas!" I hear some of you saying. To that I say, DOESN'T MATTER, you still deserve great chocolate! Here's what you do: set an appointment for December 25. It can be to change the filter on your heater. It can be to polish your shoes. WHATEVER!!! Then use this fancy advent calendar to count down to that appointment! It works for stuff other than Christmas, trust me!!
|Attractive photo of us from last year, opening up a day of chocolate in our jammies.
I promise, we have not opened any squares yet this year!
The reason I am posting this so early is because the stores will run out of these. Soon. They don't get many of them, and when they are gone, they are gone. And you deserve one. Heck, while you are at TJ's pick up a couple of the cheap advent calendars for your kids (I think they are a buck!). But remember, this fancy Valrhona one is for YOU!!!
Last year this product got 5 well deserved stars (review here: 2015 Valrhona Advent Calendar Review
This year, even before opening a single little window and nibbling a chocolate, I declare it a 5 star winner again!
Price: STILL $9.99, and well worth every penny
Rating: STILL a shiny 5 stars

It is not often that I want Chuck to get behind the camera and photograph me. On this occasion I was so excited about this butterfly that seemed to want to spend the afternoon with me. He stayed with me for a long time.

Gazing at the fleshy, disturbingly humanoid trees rooted into the stone of her garden here in the castle, Khyristrix grinds her pointed teeth in frustration at not being able to take supreme satisfaction in these, her efforts of the past decades. Gazing out across the tops of the surrounding mountains, she once again reigns in the desire to simply leave, and let her garden spread far and wide beyond the mountains, knowing that without Strahd's protection and the grounds he has given over to her, she would be unable to cultivate such well-grown specimens.
Cursing the need to venture to the Material Plane to find suitable specimens for her garden, she again ponders how she might be able to obtain more interesting subjects for her garden, as the villagers provided by Strahd and his minions don't bring out the true beauty of her creations as well as mortals that are a bit more...spirited.
Game continues Saturday night (the 8th) at my place, and the couch is all yours E.

With a crackle and hiss the tiny goblin materialized in the center of the cavernous chamber. Disoriented, he glanced quickly from side to side, taking in the astonished looks of the small party of battle weary adventurers who had summoned him, before, finally and fatefully, looking up into the rapidly descending jaws of an enormous dragon. In a tiny, squeaky, quivering voice he uttered the only words of his brief and ill-fated existence... "oh shit".

I wasn't planning to make a banner for Kiree's birthday, but Jaide insisted. It ended up much smaller than usual since that was all the paper left on that roll. We filled it out with some Dora coloring pages.
We invited some friends over for some cake and Kiree got to blow out the candle several times.
I sure do love my Kiree Kiddo! She is such a sweetheart (most of the time) but she seriously is such a sweetie. She told me this afternoon it was time for her nap and so off we went to put her in bed. She and Jaide love to read stories in bed and always have lots of books in bed with them.
Kiree loves shoes, Dora the Explorer, yummy food, and whatever Jaide is into. Kiree talks really well and says lots of funny things. This morning while we were waiting for Jaide's bus she told me, "i need go back to bed. i need to CHILL - OUT!" (wonder where she's heard that before?) Kiree is still a strawberry blond (looks very red in this picture) and her eyes are multicolored- blue at the outter edges, then greenish, then brownish near the iris.
Kiree is very easygoing and is a good little helper. She still takes a nice long afternoon nap and is always very excited when we get to go out and meet Jaide's bus in the afternoon. We're really glad that she is a part of our family!

Caritas Niger says there have been several deadly attacks by Boko Haram militants recently, forcing thousands to flee their homes in Niger and neigbouring Nigeria.
Elvine, 37, paid 6,000 Euro to people smugglers to make the tough journey through the desert from Cameroon to Libya, passing through Chad, Niger, Mali and Libya. She was heading for Tripoli where a family friend had offered to give her refuge.
People fleeing attacks by Boko Haram fighters in southeast Niger are in desperate need of aid.
Caritas is concerned about the worsening crisis in central Africa as thousands of people are being forced to flee Boko Haram fighters in Niger, Nigeria and Chad.
Caritas says people fleeing Boko Haram fighters are facing a "tragedy" in Niger. Tens of thousands of people are living under trees or out in the open after escaping from their towns and villages in the wake of the fundamentalist insurgent advances.
There are four million people who are desperately hungry in Niger now after poor rains which affected the harvest. If we don't do anything, that will double to seven million within two months. That's half the population of the entire country.
Caritas has launched an appeal for funds in Niger where over 4 million people are going hungry because of food shortages. It aims to raise 3 million euro (US$4.2 million) so the people of Niger will have food.
Policy Officer Jo O'Neill reflects on a unique conference on faith communities attempts to tackle climate change and Poland's first ever Climate Mass.
CADEV, Caritas Niger is working in four camps helping 18,000 Malian refugees. They fled there after rebels seized the north of Mali last year, triggering a flow of refugees in Africa's Sahel region. Caritas Niger is registering an increase of refuges since the French military intervention in January.
The president of Caritas Mali, Archbishop Jean Zerbo of Bamako, has asked for a humanitarian corridor to be opened to help those who have found themselves cut off by the conflict. Caritas is helping families in Mali cover their basic needs by providing food, shelter and help with healthcare and school fees.

Hello, and welcome to my world. My pseudonym is name is Ann Peek and this is my crossroads.
Recently, on facebook, I posted that I 'wish I had one or two marketable skills, instead of being full of awesome." It's partly true. I'm not that full of awesome, but I have many interests and talents; they just don't get me anywhere.
I've been looking for work for a month and have found, literally, NOTHING. I've been on interviews, and it seems like I was the perfect hire – until the potential boss met me. My feelings are that I'm just too ugly to work…or something.
So, I'm unemployed, and I don't think it's because things are 'that bad' out there. I seriously think there's something fundamentally wrong with me, and there's a reason for this. It's my 'pattern". I seem to have the opposite of the Midas Touch. Everything I touch turns to crap.
Here's the thing. I've been described as 'smart', 'talented' and 'not lazy', by people who I think have a pretty good grasp of what they perceive as the real me (Hang on to your hats, friends, because I don't think that even I know who the 'real me" is. I've had issues all my life, but "we" can blog about that later.) So, for the 5th time in ten years I am, presumably, entering another homeless shelter in a few days. As soon as a bed opens up, in fact.
And the most disheartening thing is, I don't think I'll get any understanding or skills that I haven't already received from my previous stays at these shelters. But who knows.
"You would have been so proud of the life I had planned." Seriously. "All I ever wanted was a normal life." Both phrases have been written by me in the last month, as I saw my almost perfect grades in school drop (due to sickness and a death in the family) and losing my job…and searching for another. As my bank account drained to it's current just above $10.00, and separated by hundreds of miles from family as they post about promotions and raises and vacations and pets and time spent with loved ones. Is there a reason I'm not able to achieve "normal"? Because, seriously, that's all I ever wanted.
We shall see.

There is a disturbing trend that is invading the internet that stems from insecurities, lack of support, and our societies view of women. Videos of young girls posted online asking the world a question that eats away at them, day after day. "Am I beautiful?"
Almost two years ago, I startled a young lady when I greeted her with "Hey beautiful." It was something simple, but it made such an impact.
I have a theory that if we, as Christian men, constantly reminded our sisters that they are beautiful, through both words and actions, they would not be asking themselves if they were beautiful. They would already know.
But yet, here we are watching these girls, young women ask the world the question that burns at their soul. It's sad to see them questioning the beauty that God gifted them with, but it's worse to see the responses that they have gotten. Some of these comments I wouldn't even say to an enemy, let alone to someone I have never met.
These girls are looking for someone to tell them that they are beautiful and who will step up to tell them that they are? Who will enter their lives and tell them that they are beautiful no matter what?
Just some thoughts…
God Bless and PEACE

It's hard to believe that Ron has been gone 16 weeks today. I miss him and will always miss him. But... I have to remember that "I" am still here and "I" have to look forward to new beginnings and not stay in the past. Taking five weeks off work was very helpful. I still have moments that when I try to talk about something, or thank someone for something, that I get choked up and the words won't come. But, it is getting easier to talk about all the things that Ron's poor body (and mind) went through. He suffered... oh, how he suffered. But, he really had the best attitude (most of the time) considering all of the limitations on his life. He always had a smile for people and he rarely got upset if someone didn't come to visit him. I know the hours and hours he spent alone had to be draining on him, but he never complained. He frequently napped to pass the time (that's my theory on it).
I took the time off to really reflect on things. I ordered his grave marker (and it is going to be beautiful!), I took care of his social security, took care of multitudes of medical claims (Medicare and I went 'round and 'round), and started seeing a grief counselor. I'm not sure that she really told me anything that I didn't already know, but hearing it out loud from a third-party with no vested interest was good. There are days when I still question my decisions (like making him move to the nursing home) but most of the time, I know that I did the best that I could. Sometimes I got a little crazy over it all, but if I had to do it over again for him I wouldn't hesitate. He needed me and I'm glad that I was able to be there for him. He would have done the same for me.
I had a particularly rough night a few days ago. When I got up the next morning and looked in the mirror, my hair was going every which way. Just as clear as if he had been standing behind me, I heard Ron's voice say (as he was laughing), "You look like Medusa this morning." As I examined my hair, I had to agree with him. It made me feel really good – LOL – to get an "insult" from him.
I had to... No, let me rephrase that... I felt I NEEDED to make some changes around the house. I had been on the hunt for a new sofa anyway, so I went ahead and completed that task. I also had a very small, round table in the dining room, so I replaced that (kept the chairs because they are the perfect shade) and replaced the antique (with the broken front) hutch with one that did not have glass on the bottom. I also replaced our bed. And our car. Not to diminish the old memories, but time to start making some new ones.

To the loyal readers of the Ill bomb you may ask the following question: what is blogalongbond and why has this sprung up from out of the blue? Blogalongbond is an exercise in blogging from the mind of the incredible suit, where a bunch of sad nerds on the internet, blog about one James Bond film a month in the run up to the anticipated release of Skyfall. This month is The Living Daylights and this is the Ill contribution.
The oo7 prologue begins with a ridiculous paintballing competition between the 00 agents and the SAS. However an assassin is deliberately sabotaging the process, by offing several members of the 00 team and the SAS. Leaving a calling card entitled Smiert Spionom aka SMERSH, a supposed soviet plan meaning death to spies. The film follows Bond's attempt to get to the bottom of this plot that will take him to Czechoslovakia, Austria, Morocco and Afghanistan.
Bond and the attitudes to women
If you like sexism in Bond then you won't have to wait long as it occurs just before the obvious Saul Bass inspired title sequence commences. The scene in question is as follows as a bikini clad women gets what she wants:
Lady on the boat/ Bond's piece of meat:
(On the phone)
It's all so boring here, Margot. There's nothing but playboys and tennis pros. If only I can find a real man.
Bond lands on the canopy of her boat, after fleeing with parachute from a plunging car.
He takes phone from her
I need to use your phone; (to person on the phone) she'll call you back
The traditional sexual objectifying of the women featured in the Bond franchise continues with this questionable actress with the dodgy accent.
(On the phone)
Exercise control, 007 here. I'll report in an hour
Piece of meat
Won't you join me? (with glass of champagne in hand)
Better make that two.
Thus the film establishes that women are easy to get for Bond and that he needs an hour minimum to satisfy his sexual needs all within the space of 7 minutes 14 seconds. Well into the movie, the casual bit of sexism is exercised further. Throughout the franchise James Bond has always been forceful with women; slapping them around, dragging them about telling them to not speak unless spoken to. This was most prominent with Connery's Bond, who mostly got away with it because it was the 1960's. Granted Dalton's Bond has less of this, but 1 hour 8 minutes in, Rubavitch, the wife of General Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys Davies) has a good claim for sexual assault against the British government. He violently strips away Rubavitch's gown to distract Pushkin's bodyguard as he comes through the hotel room.
Stereotyping was a major theme throughout the majority of Roger Moore's stint as the oo agent, and John Glen the director of Daylights was implicit with this. So when an aggressive overweight eastern bloc lady aids Bond by distracting her superior with sex, we kind of know who to lay the blame on here. Apart from the beginning, Dalton's Bond is less of a sexual predator and treats his leading lady with more respect and care than Moore or Connery were ever capable of, even if she is a tad too timid and has bushy eyebrows. For example he is heard telling the hotel manager, very diplomatically that he will turn down his usual suite in favour of one with two bedrooms when checking in with Kara. This is a very decent and gentleman thing to do, which is a pleasant surprise as we know that James Bond is usually a lecherous plank. Still The Living Daylights deliberately fails the Bechdel test.
Bond franchise Clichés reinforced in The Living Daylights
1. Catchphrase
Dalton's Bond utters the famous line after eliminating an assassin and falling onto a yacht via parachute. Bikini girl with dodgy accent demands to know who the hell he is. Tired, he replies "Bond, James Bond" around 7 minutes in, but delivered so nonchalantly that we half expect this Bond is partial to skin up to light a fat spliff after all the hard work he has done.
2. Tuxedo
The 007 look features very early on in the film (as in D.No) and is important to the film's narrative. Bond is attending an orchestra to rendezvous with another member of MI5 so they can make out the target that they are going to smuggle into the west. Dalton fits into the tux like a glove, and it is unfortunate that he does not continue the rest of the film in this attire. Instead a big dressing down occurs when he is dressed in Afghani desert clothes
3. The Living Daylights in relation to its time.
The year is 1987 and the cold war is coming near to the end of its expiry date, before the Arabs would become movie enemy number one. For the moment the Russians are the bad guys, and defection from the east, Russian deceit and counter espionage are major themes of this film. At the time of Daylights release the Soviets still had a presence in Afghanistan, and much of the west were against their presence there (how ironic!), so the mujahedeen led by Brit Art Malick although shown as a tad barbaric (never invite them to an orchestra) are treated as sympathetic scallywags.
Also in November 1986 a scandal rocked the Reagan administration, it was called Iran-Contra affair and concerned Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the US National Security Council. In late '85, North devised a plan to sell arms to Iran and use the proceeds from the sale to fund the anti-Sandinista and anti-Communist rebel group the Contras. The Contras were responsible for a series of human rights abuses and murders in their base in Honduras and in Nicaragua. In Daylights the character of Brad Whitaker offers a close comparison to Oliver North and the Iran-contra affair.
4. The gadgets/ the Aston Martin
A key ring that is detonated to release stun gas by whistling Rule Britannia or detonated as an explosive by a wolf whistle? This is a pretty lame gadget especially in relation to what Bond has had to work with before and is used appropriately as Bond is about to get thrown in a Soviet jail in Afghanistan.
As far as cars go, the welcome return of the Aston Martin adds a dose of traditionalism to Daylights after an 18 year separation within the Bond franchise. The 1986 V8 Vantage is put to good use in the first part of film as Bond and Kara try to escape the attention of the authorities. It comes with a signal- intercepting smart radio, side outriggers (for the ice and snow), spike producing tyres (for the snow) and a laser that slashes tyres (a modern update of the one used in Goldfinger).
Timothy Dalton's Bond
The Living Daylights is the first outing of Timothy Dalton's two film tenure as James Bond and is undoubtedly one of the best films to come out of the franchise. He had already turned down the role FOUR times, the first time after Sean Connery's departure, claiming that he was too young for the role (24 years old).
Timothy Dalton's Bond is a big departure from Roger Moore's this-is-all-a-big-joke performance as the mi6 spy. The raised eyebrow gimmick implemented by Sean Connery but done OTT by Moore is gone. This is a very much a serious Bond or to put it better, a thinking man's Bond. The remarkable thing that I noticed in Dalton's performance is his stare. Those piercing, beautiful eyes give intensity to the moment in which they've been used and are an added bonus to his ability to seem suave and tough at the same time. Most important of all is that he has enough presence to carry the film and has brought something uniquely different to the tired out franchise. The irony of Sean Connery and the playfulness of Roger Moore is replaced with a more sombre, reflective acting style that is all the better for it. This is what you get when you hire someone that has trained at RADA and acted in Shakespeare.
This is why at this present time he stands as the best actor ever to play James Bond FACT.
The bad guys
As much as we all adored the evil machinations of people like Blofeld, Dr. No. Oddjob, Scaramanga his midget and his golden gun and their entire quest for world domination, the villains in Daylights add a dose of realism to the narrative. As aforementioned Brad Whitaker (played by character actor Joe Don Baker) is the American illegal arms dealer. His status of being a great nemesis is cemented within his first scene where he hides himself amidst the waxworks of historical "butchers" when General Leonid Pushkin pays him a visit. He believes himself to be a great soldier like Napoleon, but has never seen any combat and surrounds himself with military toys. He is childlike, but also the brains of the outfit playing Russia against Britain for financial gain and almost getting away with it.
Georgi Koskov is the weasel of the piece, looking and acting like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, but really one slimy conniving bastard that identifies his girlfriend as a sniper so Bond could "take her out". He creates a fake defection and fake kidnapping in order to fool Britain that Pushkin is behind a bogus revival of Smiert Spionom aka SMERSH. My favourite is Necros, the traditional Bond muscle of the piece who is as sinister as Oddjob and as scary as Red Grant in From Russia with Love. Played by Andreas Wisniewski who also played Karl's brother Tony in Die Hard as the first one of Gruber's henchmen to die at the hands of John McClane (with added Christmas message: Now I have a machine gun Ho! Ho! Ho!), he is a marvel to behold. The reasons why are as follows 1. He fools you by doing dodgy accents; he can do cockney or American. 2. Multi tasking: he poses as a milkman, doctor or balloon seller before or after murdering victims and 3. His deadly arsenal consists of conspicuous items such as headphones used to strangle victims, and grenade milk bottles chucked at members of the secret service, making Britain look like the "laughing stock of the intelligence community".
The stunts and action set pieces.
There are at least 27 stunt team members involved in the film and they have creatively pulled up some amazing action set pieces. The most daring being the fight between Bond and Necros whilst dangling from a rickety plane with a bomb on board, which should win some sort of stunt award for the sheer madness of it. The Bratislava car chase scene with the Aston Martin was brilliantly staged, showing off Q's implementation of the cars different gadgets; the culmination of it ending with Bond and Kara sliding down the slope on the case of Kara's cello into the borders of Austria with "nothing to declare". .
Personally the most imaginative and best action set piece occurs when Necros raids the safe house to "kidnap" Koskov. The intelligence of the raid, the milk bottle bombs and Necros' prolonged fight with one brave waiter/agent makes sure the adrenaline levels go all the way to 11. On another note there is a scene where Bond is running from the Moroccan authorities on the rooftops of Tangiers, a scene strikingly familiar to a similar scene in The Bourne Ultimatum. Daylights small influence on Bourne should be recognised
Rotten Tomatoes Rating deserved?
Daylights has a 75 % rating amongst the top critics on Rotten Tomatoes and I would say that an extra 10% would have been fair. The faults of the film lay in the pacing, with the first half providing the thrills and from then on an endless string of crises to help to keep Bond dynamic. As there are few dramatic highs the films running time of two hours and ten minutes makes it a little too long. But there is much to admire from the film, Dalton's portrayal being the primary one also as we have already mentioned the action set pieces are probably the best of any Bond movie. The supporting characters give a lot of weight to the film.,Welshman John Rhys-Davies playing Russian General Pushkin having already played an Arab in the Indiana Jones series, a Turk in King Solomon's mines, Frenchman in Ivanhoe and a dwarf in Lord of the Rings, erm you get the picture; is excellant. Jeroen Krabbe excels as the unprincipled turncoat and Joe Don Baker makes for a worthy adversary. John Glen's direction still carries some of the same elements as his Roger Moore films but is more mature in the more colourful aspects of Bond's exploits. Seeing that I have waffled on long enough, i will wrap this up here: the film is a refreshing take at this point in the franchises chronology.

One of the important features in a WSN is clustering as it can be highly helpful in data aggregation, distributing policies among nodes and setting controllers, assigning the overlay topology to reduce energy consumption and etc.
I am trying to come up with a distributed protocol for WSNs where we neither have the location information of the nodes or their mutual distances, all we have is the local connectivity for each node in a distributed fashion. I have found some interesting former research in this regard but I am a little puzzled for now! :)

I'm wandering a little further afield today, but eating local doesn't mean it can't be a little exotic! We love Indian food, but ever since Sunrise (on Riverside) was replaced by yet another Mexican chain restaurant, we've mostly had to make it ourselves. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it might seem a bit intimidating at first.
There are Patak's cooking sauces, curry pastes and chutneys to get you started, but they are based in England and are part of Melting Pot Foods, LLC here in the US which is based in Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hormel Foods and had net sales of nearly $6 million in 2006. Let's spread some wealth around, shall we?
Down in Sammamish, Washington we have Meghana Foods, Inc. who make a line of Indian food products going by the brand Taaza. They make cooking sauces, chutneys, spices, rice mix and ghee. Shop online or check out their extensive list of stores. I bought their ghee at an international market south of Seattle and this yogurt came from Haggen in Burlington.
Another Indian food which you might not be inclined to make yourself is paneer. Appel Farms in Ferndale can make it for you! I've found their paneer at the co-op and again at Haggen occasionally. (Appel Farms also makes quark which can be tricky to find. Find it at the co-op as well.) If you want to make your own paneer with some wonderful local milk, you will find a recipe with beautiful photographic instruction at Mahanandi.
What about the spices? Well, spices have been traded around the world for centuries so they're not really part of the new problem with industrial food transport. Besides they're used in small quantities and keep well if kept cool, dry and whole. The best way to purchase spices would be from a small spice shop with good turnover to insure freshness. In Whatcom County, there is The Spice Hut which has an excellent variety of teas as well. Can you say Market Spice tea? 🙂 When in Seattle, spend the day at World Spice Merchants or order online.
Oh dear, I really shouldn't have opened that page. Luckily we got that tree off the driveway so the UPS guy doesn't have to hang the parcel off the branch again!

Re: Which Firewall
Well, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to stay Cisco,
you have 2 choices. If you need just firewall experience, get either a
PIX501 or 506 with PIX OS 6.3 or newer. If you want to do some stuff
with DMZ ports, things get more expensive. A PIX 515e or larger is
needed to get dmz ports, plus an interface card is needed to plug into
the chassis in order to get those ports. In my opinion, a 501 is fine
for learning NAT, VPN, etc. If you can master the capabilities of the
501, a dmz setup won't take you long to learn when you finally get your
hands on one.

Brendon works very hard this summer to make save money. He wanted to buy a tablet or go-cart. I am very proud to say he made 103 dollars and some change. I was shocked when the bank told us his total. He is a very good kid and already desires to be successful in life.
|Brendon's Fish Blue tank died this summer. That fish made it from Oklahoma to Minnesota. I was surprised he made it though all that. Brendon was sad, but felt better after helping me bury him in the front yard.
