President Barack Obama has survived Benghazigate — thus far. In the weeks and days leading up to the November 6 elections, President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and their advisors, no doubt, had containment of this Libyan fiasco foremost in their minds. Would toxic details of the deadly debacle leak out and spell doom for the struggling administration in the closing hours of the campaign?
A CBS News national telephone poll of likely voters conducted October 25-28 did not portend well for Team Obama. Locked in a dead heat with Mitt Romney, and with the economy in shambles and sliding toward a fiscal cliff, unemployment sky high, and a looming debt tsunami, the last thing the Obama White House could afford was a late-inning foreign policy disaster, especially when Obama propagandists were touting foreign policy and national security as their candidate's great strength.
According to the CBS poll, only 38 percent of voters approved of President Obama's handling of the September 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead: U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, his assistant Sean Smith, and former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. Over half of all voters (51 percent) and 57 percent of Independents disapproved of his handling of Benghazi.
Even though the conventional wisdom held that pocketbook issues would determine the outcome of the race, Benghazi could have spelled the end for Obama. The numbers were looking very bad, and that was even with the overwhelmingly pro-Obama mainstream media bending over backward to cover for the White House and keep Libya off the media radar screens. As more and more troubling details about Benghazi began leaking out, the major corporate media smothered the facts and stuck to the White House talking points.
The full details about precisely what transpired at the American "consulate" in Benghazi on the night of September 11, 2012, still remain largely suppressed by the Obama administration and its accomplices in the major media. However, the damning evidence that has surfaced paints an ugly picture of a commander in chief who ignored months of repeated warnings about escalating violence and terrorist activity in Benghazi, ignored and/or denied requests for additional security, and after the attack on our "consulate" began, refused to send adequate backup and assistance to the American defenders who were vastly outnumbered and under fire.
Most of President Obama's harshest Benghazi critics have focused on these twin security failures: failure to heed the prior warnings of those on the ground in Libya, and failure to aid our forces after they had come under attack. In addition, critics have blasted the administration for its coverup of these failures, most especially its insistence for weeks that the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi was not a coordinated terrorist attack but a spontaneous demonstration over an anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims, that escalated out of control. (For a more extensive review of the White House disinformation campaign claiming the Benghazi attack resulted from a reaction to the video, see Alex Newman's articles here and here ) However, what is far more damning for President Obama, and potentially far more damaging politically, is the charge that the so-called U.S. consulate in Benghazi was actually a staging center utilized by the administration for meetings between Ambassador Stevens and militant jihadist leaders and as a distribution center for supplying weapons to these anti-American jihadists, including al-Qaeda affiliates.
Charges Flying
Investigative reporter/best-selling author/radio talk-show host Aaron Klein began reporting in September that according to his Middle East sources, Ambassador Stevens and other U.S. personnel were involved in the Obama administration's effort to destabilize and overthrow the government of Syria. Klein, the Jerusalem bureau chief for WorldNetDaily (WND), wrote in a September 24 WND column:
Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador murdered in Libya, played a central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, according to Egyptian security officials speaking to WND.
Stevens served as a key contact with the Saudis to coordinate the recruitment by Saudi Arabia of Islamic fighters from North Africa and Libya. The jihadists were sent to Syria via Turkey to attack Assad's forces, said the security officials.
This reporter interviewed Aaron Klein in Appleton, Wisconsin, on October 23, where he appeared at a joint speaking engagement with New Zealand author/researcher Trevor Loudon, author of Barack Obama and the Enemies Within.
Klein emphatically took issue with the numerous media reports that referred to the U.S. compound that was attacked on September 11 as a "U.S. consulate," and explained why that distinction is important.
"It was not a consulate," Aaron Klein told The New American. "According to Middle East security officials I talked to, this was a major meeting point — I would say the central meeting point — for the American diplomats, including Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador who was killed, to meet with officials of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, about supplying the opposition in Syria and Libya. Well, who is the opposition? In Libya, the opposition openly included jihadists, included al-Qaeda elements. In Syria, right now, the al-Qaeda elements are leading the opposition.... According to the different sources I spoke to, what we have here is a U.S. policy of arming rebels, knowing or not knowing — but I can't understand how they would not know — that many of these rebels are jihadists."
Consistent History
These revelations are not at all shocking to those who are familiar with the Obama administration's record of support for virulently anti-American Islamists in Libya, including those closely allied with al-Qaeda. As we have reported previously in The New American, the Obama administration's "Arab Spring" strategy infamously embraced terror "Emir" Abdelhakim Belhadj and his Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.
The LIFG's role in Libya as an al-Qaeda franchise was no secret. A 2007 study by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point entitled Al-Qa'ida's Foreign Fighters in Iraq reported:
Recent political developments in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the prevalence of Libyan fighters in Iraq, and evidence of a well-established smuggling route for Libyans through Egypt, suggests that Libyan factions (primarily the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group) are increasingly important in al-Qa'ida.
The West Point study by Joseph Felter and Brian Fishman is based on an extensive cache of documents captured by U.S. forces in the Sinjar District of Iraq, including profiles of hundreds of foreign fighters who were engaged in killing U.S. and NATO personnel.
The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group is listed by our National Counterterrorism Center and the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism as a "Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization." The United Nations Security Council likewise lists the LIFG as an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group. Nevertheless, Abdelhakim Belhadj and the LIFG received blessings (and aid) from the Obama administration. After Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown, Belhadj was installed as the chief of the Military Council in the new U.S.-backed "rebel" regime in Tripoli. And Belhadj is only one of several notorious terrorists aided by the United States in our "humanitarian intervention" in Libya.
Aid for Terrorists but Not for Americans
However, while the Obama administration appears to have been hell-bent on providing aid to some of the worst terrorist elements in Libya, it repeatedly denied basic security to the Americans who were tasked with carrying out its policies. One thing that is not disputed is the fact that in the months leading up to the September 11 attacks on the U.S. compounds in Benghazi, the area had become increasingly dangerous and Ambassador Stevens and others had repeatedly requested that security be beefed up. Those requests fell on deaf ears. At a hearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on October 10, security officers testified concerning their exasperation at being denied increased security by State Department higher-ups during the escalating violence occurring around them in Libya.
"We were fighting a losing battle. We couldn't even keep what we had," said Lt. Col. Andrew Wood, former head of a 16-member U.S. military team that helped protect the embassy in Tripoli.
A February 2012 e-mail from foreign-service officer Shawn P. Crowley to Eric A. Nordstrom, then chief security officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, about the "lack of security" at the compound in Benghazi paints a grim picture. "Apologies for being a broken record, but beginning tomorrow, Benghazi will be down two agents," Crowley wrote, noting that "we have no drivers and new local guard contract employees have no experience driving armored vehicles."
The State Department's Eric Nordstrom was likewise frustrated and testified regarding a conversation he had with a State Department official when asking for more agents on the ground. After being denied the requested security detail, Nordstrom said he told the State Department official:
You know what (is) most frustrating about this assignment? It's not the hardships, it's not the gunfire, it's not the threats. It's dealing and fighting against the people, programs and personnel who are supposed to be supporting me.... For me, the Taliban is on the inside of the building.
On October 19, Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) sent President Obama a letter and 166 pages of documents related to security threats and the process of "normalization" in Libya. The letter requested that the White House respond to questions about its role in the decision to have the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya pursue a course of "normalization" that was intended to help create the perception of success in Libya and contrast it to U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The letter by Reps. Issa and Chaffetz states:
Information supplied to the committee by senior officials demonstrates that not only did the administration repeatedly reject requests for increased security despite escalating violence, but it also systematically decreased existing security to dangerous and ineffective levels. We have been told repeatedly that the administration did this to effectuate a policy of "normalization" in Libya after the conclusion of its civil war. These actions not only resulted in extreme vulnerability, but also undermined Ambassador Stevens and the diplomatic mission.
"Multiple warnings about security threats were contained in Ambassador Stevens' own words in multiple cables sent to Washington, D.C., and were manifested by two prior bombings of the Benghazi compound and an assassination attempt on the British ambassador," the Issa-Chaffetz letter continued. "The American people deserve nothing less than a full explanation from this administration about these events, including why the repeated warnings about a worsening security situation appear to have been ignored by this administration. Americans also deserve a complete explanation about your administration's decision to accelerate a normalized presence in Libya at what now appears to be at the cost of endangering American lives. These critical foreign policy decisions are not made by low or mid-level career officials — they are typically made through a structured and well-reasoned process that includes the National Security Council at the White House."
Rather than respond substantively to the serious questions posed by the committee chairmen, the White House and its surrogates in Congress and the media went on the attack, accusing Chairman Issa of leaking classified documents that compromised national security and endangered the lives of Libyans, by revealing the identities of those who are cooperating with the United States. However, a perusal of the documents appears to bear out Rep. Issa's assertion that these claims by Obama defenders are baseless and are aimed at diverting attention from the ongoing coverup of a Libyan policy that was, at best, irresponsible.
In an October 28 op-ed in the Washington Times entitled "Obama needs to come clean on what happened in Benghazi," retired Admiral James A. Lyons charged that there is "an urgent need for full disclosure of what has become the 'Benghazi Betrayal and Cover-up.'"
"The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI and the Pentagon, apparently watched and listened to the assault on the U.S. consulate and cries for help but did nothing," wrote Adm. Lyons, who was commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
"If someone had described a fictional situation with a similar scenario and described our leadership ignoring the pleas for help, I would have said it was not realistic — not in my America — but I would have been proven wrong," he continued.
According to Adm. Lyons:
We now know why Ambassador Christopher Stevens had to be in Benghazi the night of 9/11 to meet a Turkish representative, even though he feared for his safety. According to various reports, one of Stevens' main missions in Libya was to facilitate the transfer of much of Gadhafi's military equipment, including the deadly SA-7 — portable SAMs — to Islamists and other al Qaeda-affiliated groups fighting the Assad Regime in Syria....
Once the attack commenced at 10:00 p.m. Libyan time (4:00 p.m. EST), we know the mission security staff immediately contacted Washington and our embassy in Tripoli. It now appears the White House, Pentagon, State Department, CIA, NDI, JCS and various other military commands monitored the entire battle in real time via frantic phone calls from our compound and video from an overhead drone. The cries for help and support went unanswered.
"Our Benghazi mission personnel, including our two former Navy SEALs, fought for seven hours without any assistance other than help from our embassy in Tripoli, which launched within 30 minutes an aircraft carrying six Americans and 16 Libyan security guards," Adm. Lyons noted. "It is understood they were instrumental in helping 22 of our Benghazi mission personnel escape the attack."
Was there more that could have been done? Absolutely, says Adm. Lyons. "The Obama national security team, including CIA, DNI, State Department and the Pentagon, watched and listened to the assault but did nothing to answer repeated calls for assistance," he charged. "It has been reported that President Obama met with Vice President Joseph R. Biden and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in the Oval Office, presumably to see what support could be provided. After all, we had very credible military resources within striking distance. At our military base in Sigonella, Sicily, which is slightly over 400 miles from Benghazi, we had a fully equipped Special Forces unit with both transport and jet strike aircraft prepositioned. Certainly this was a force much more capable than the 22-man force from our embassy in Tripoli."
Adm. Lyons stated:
I know those Special Forces personnel were ready to leap at the opportunity. There is no doubt in my mind they would have wiped out the terrorists attackers....
I also understand we had a C-130 gunship available, which would have quickly disposed of the terrorist attackers. This attack went on for seven hours. Our fighter jets could have been at our Benghazi mission within an hour. Our Special Forces out of Sigonella could have been there within a few hours. There is not any doubt that action on our part could have saved the lives of our two former Navy SEALs and possibly the ambassador.
"Having been in a number of similar situations, I know you have to have the courage to do what's right and take immediate action," says Adm. Lyons. "Obviously, that courage was lacking for Benghazi. The safety of your personnel always remains paramount. With all the technology and military capability we had in theater, for our leadership to have deliberately ignored the pleas for assistance is not only incomprehensible, it is un-American. Somebody high up in the administration made the decision that no assistance (outside our Tripoli embassy) would be provided, and let our people be killed. The person who made that callous decision needs to be brought to light and held accountable."
Adm. Lyons' charges followed reports on FOX News on October 26 that operators at the CIA annex in Benghazi, about a mile from the compound where Ambassador Stevens was under attack, had been ordered to "stand down" rather than respond when the initial attack began. Charles Woods, the father of ex-Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was killed in a later attack on the CIA annex, went on a number of radio and television programs to blast President Obama and Secretary Clinton for their "cowardice" in failing to protect his son and the other trapped Americans.
In an interview on the nationally broadcast Lars Larson radio show, Woods told of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the publicly broadcast memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack.
"When [Obama] came over to our little area" at Andrews Air Force Base, said Woods, "he kind of just mumbled, you know, 'I'm sorry.' His face was looking at me, but his eyes were looking over my shoulder like he could not look me in the eye. And it was not a sincere, 'I'm really sorry, you know, that your son died,' but it was totally insincere, more of whining type, 'I'm sorry.'"
Woods said that shaking President Obama's hands at his son's memorial service was "like shaking hands with a dead fish." "It just didn't feel right," he said of his meeting with Obama. "And now that it's coming out that apparently the White House situation room was watching our people die in real time, as this was happening," Woods said.
Team Obama responded to these revelations with more stonewalling and denial. Retired U.S. Army General Jack Keane, former Army vice chief of staff, was trotted out on National Public Radio to provide a plausible timeline and an explanation of why more was not done to aid the besieged Americans in Benghazi. Gen. Keane, interestingly, conceded that the Benghazi compound "was essentially defenseless." "And we should never have left it in a defenseless status that it was in," said Keane. "That was certainly tragic and, frankly, irresponsible." But, said Gen. Keane, the administration did everything possible to assist the Americans in Benghazi once they came under attack. According to Keane, we did not have the proper assets at our Sigonella base to reach the besieged compounds in time.
Steve Elson, an ex-Navy SEAL, says he doesn't buy Gen. Keane's explanation. "That's more coverup," he told The New American. "From my experience, and knowing the assets available to the military and Special Ops units, I would say that Admiral Lyons' assessment is far more credible," said Elson. "Lyons has been in charge of the Pacific and has utilized those assets. There's no way that fight should have gone on for 6-7 hours without air assistance at least. Our jets could have been there within an hour."
"The Benghazi response — or, more accurately, Obama's failure to respond in Benghazi — is completely in keeping with this administration's record," Elson said. "It fits completely with his traitorous ROE [rules of engagement] for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, which had them going on patrol and facing the enemy without being allowed to have their weapons loaded! How can you order men into battle and then handcuff them like that? It's immoral and treasonous! I don't pull any punches or mince words on that, and I can assure you all of the soldiers, sailors, marines, special operators I've talked to feel the same way. And Benghazi is just more of the same."
An active-duty Navy SEAL who asked to remain anonymous concurred with Steve Elson. "Everyone in the Special Ops community detests the way Obama exploited the [Osama] bin Laden takedown," says the SEAL. "He rushed to reveal sensitive sources and methods to score political points, to appear macho, even though it compromises future operations and endangers our lives. To him it didn't matter; we're expendable, like the Americans in Benghazi."
"If Congress and the American people allow President Obama to get away with this," Steve Elson told The New American, "we'll be seeing repetitions of it happening all across the globe."

Lap-band surgery leads to long-term weight loss even after hiccups
LAP-BAND surgery has proved an effective long-term method of reducing weight for the obese, according to a new 15-year study.
But the procedure is not free of complications, with about half the patients in the study requiring follow-up surgery.
VicHealth warned that lap band surgery was not a panacea for Australia's obesity problem and called for a reduction in the marketing and and availability of junk food and sugary drinks.
Monash University Centre for Obesity Research and Education analysed the results of 3227 patients who had had gastric banding between 1994 and 2011, with the results of the study published in this month's edition of the medical journal Annals of Surgery.
The research showed that many patients kept the weight off. On average, the 714 patients who'd had the procedure more than a decade ago maintained a weight loss of 26 kilograms, or almost half their excess weight.
''For some people, losing 26 kilograms is extraordinary, for others it is a fairly modest effect, but that's the average. We have people who have lost well over 100 kilograms, we have others who have lost very few kilograms,'' said one of the study's authors, Professor Paul O'Brien.
Professor O'Brien, who was the lap-band surgeon for many of the patients, said the research showed lap-band surgery has a lasting impact on weight loss.
VicHealth nutrition manager and resident dietitian Julie Woods said while there was a place for lap-band surgery, more effort was needed to reduce the impact of junk food.
''If lap banding is all we did, the health system wouldn't cope. There is likely to be about 7 million obese Australians in the next 15 years,'' she said.
Lap-band surgery involves the placement of a gastric band at the top of the stomach that reduces hunger. After the surgery, patients are encouraged to eat small amounts, about 1200 calories a day, and exercise.
Professor O'Brien said while lap-band surgery had proved effective, it was not for everyone.
''You have to be obese, which is a BMI (body mass index calculated using height and weight) of greater than 30.''
The average age of patients in the study was 47; almost four out of five patients were women.
Lap-band surgery is commonly a day procedure and costs about $10,000 through the private health system, or it can be arranged through some public hospitals such as the Alfred.
The weight-loss method has become popular in recent years, with high-profile Australians including billionaire James Packer and media figure Harold Mitchell. Mr Mitchell is among the patients of Professor O'Brien.
An earlier version of this story stated that Mr Packer had been a patient of Professor O'Brien's. This is incorrect. The error was made in the editing process.

(Feb. 7, 2012) – Once again, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, in partnership with Louisiana Sea Grant, with assistance from the Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana, the Louisiana Crab Task Force, the Barataria-Terrebonne Estuary Program, the Louisiana Wildlife Federation and the Nature Conservancy, will host the 2012 Derelict Crab Trap Clean-up in portions of St. Bernard, Plaquemines and Terrebonne parishes over the next two months.
Since the program began in 2004, the state has removed and disposed of more than 19,000 derelict and abandoned crab traps. The removal of these traps is not only vital in conserving the blue crab resource, but also improves safety and navigability of waterways.
The schedule for clean-ups is as follows:
St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes clean-ups will begin Feb. 25 at 6 a.m. and end March 5 at 6 a.m. Volunteer clean-up days, hosted by LDWF and Louisiana Sea Grant, will be held on Saturday, Feb. 25 and Saturday, March 3 at Sweetwater Marina on Delacroix Island.
The Terrebonne Parish clean-up will begin March 17 at 6 a.m. and end March 26 at 6 a.m. A volunteer clean-up day will be hosted by LDWF on Saturday, March 17 at Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium in Cocodrie.
Derelict traps may be collected anytime during the cleanup period. Representative with LDWF and Louisiana Sea Grant will be available at each disposal site on the volunteer days beginning at 8:30 a.m. to distribute instructions, maps and supplies to volunteers, assist with the unloading of derelict traps and document the number of traps removed.
In order to conduct the trap clean-ups, crabfishermen must remove their crab traps from within the closure area during the closure period, and all remaining crab traps will be considered abandoned and may be removed by agency personnel or volunteers.
Restrictions to clean-up activities are as follows:
- Crab traps may be removed only between one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset.
- Individuals removing crab traps may not possess these traps outside of the closure area; and, abandoned traps must be brought to designated disposal sites.
- Regulations do not provide authorization for public access to private property, as access can only be provided by individual landowners.
LDWF continues to seek volunteers to assist with the crab trap removal. Volunteers willing to participate in the trap clean-ups are encouraged to pre-register with Louisiana Sea Grant. Registration information, along with other clean-up information is available at: http://www.laseagrant.org/crabtraps/.
Volunteers collecting crab traps are asked to place the traps and buoys at the predetermined disposal sites.
Additional information may also be obtained from the Derelict Crab Trap Removal Program web site www.derelictcrabtrap.net.

Junior midfielder Jenna Petrucelli scored the eventual game-winning goal with 2:15 remaining in the first overtime to lead the #20 University of Mary Washington women's lacrosse team to a 19-18 victory over Babson College on Wednesday at the Battleground. The Eagles improve to 4-4 on the season.
In a high scoring affair, the Eagles started the fireworks as Petrucelli scored in the opening minute. The Beavers answered with a pair of goals to take a 2-1 lead, but UMW's Corinne Wiederkehr and Keller Torrey netted goals to give UMW a 3-2 edge. Babson answered with four straight goals to lead, 6-3, with 16:48 remaining in the first half.
Petrucelli and junior Megan Gersbeck scored at 16:19 and 15:49 to quickly bring the deficit back to one at 6-5, but Babson scored the next goal to take a 7-5 lead. After Gersbeck scored on an eight meter shot, The Beavers then scored three straight to up the lead to 10-6 with 11:48 remaining.
Torrey scored on a Wiederkehr assist with 9:35 to play, but Babson again answered with two scores to up the lead to 12-7 with seven minutes left. UMW closed the half with three straight goals in the last four minutes, as Katie Williams scored with three minutes left, and Wiederkehr added two in the final two minutes to push the halftime score to 12-10.
Gersbeck and Torrey quickly tied the score to start the second, as UMW took just 52 seconds to draw even. The two teams traded goals for the next several minutes with the Eagles taking a 15-14 lead on a Keller Torrey goal with 22:25 left. Babson retied the score at 15, but Gersbeck scored with 19:33 left to put the Eagles ahead.
Torrey and Williams added goals to boost the Eagles' lead to 18-15 with 14 minutes left, but Babson scored with 11, seven and one minute left to tie the score and send the game to overtime. In the extra period, Petrucelli found the lone score in the two extra periods for the victory.
Torrey led the Eagles with six goals and three assists, while Gersbeck added five goals and one assist. Wiederkehr scored three goals and four assists, and three times for the Eagles. Rachel Secrist had four goals and five assists for Babson.
Babson held a 33-32 edge in shots, and each team picked up 14 ground balls. Senior Kathryn Stiltz had 12 saves in goal for UMW.
The Eagles will return to action on Saturday when they host Frostburg State University in a Capital Athletic Conference showdown starting at 3:00 p.m.

Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change
Project DescriptionRISCC is an expired SCAR biology programme. The overall aim of RiSCC was to understand the likely response of Antarctic ecosytems to climate change and from this to develop theories concerning the interaction between climate change, indigenous and introduced species and ecosystem functioning.
The specific aim of the Antarctic RiSCC programme was to understand the interactions between biodiversity, functioning and climate of Antarctic terrestrial and limnetic ecosystems, and to predict regional sensitivity to the impacts of climate change. This was to be achieved through gaining understanding of the differences in environments and biodiversity within and between ecosytems, potential for ecosystem processes to respond to changes in climate, and different effects of climate change on components of individual ecosytems.
RiSCC has now been superceeded by the SCAR programme Evolution and Biodiversity in Antarctica - the response of life to change (EBA).

Wavelength (1967): A Brilliant Work of Art or a Complete Waste of Time?
Michael Snow's 1967 film Wavelength has been hailed by critics and moviegoers but it has also been heavily criticized by the general public to be 'boring,' 'uneventful,' 'pointless' and a 'complete waste of time.' It is only 43 minutes in length, so one might not consider it a proper, full length movie, but after recently viewing it I watched it carefully and took in all it had to say, mulling it over for a few hours before writing this post. And I have to say, I liked it. A lot. And I think I get it. I wasn't bored. In fact, if I'm actually watching a very good movie it won't matter how long it is. I won't get bored. And there was a lot to look at here and a lot to take in.
The plot is so simple that to actually say the film has a plot is a joke. All it is is one shot (actually quite a few shots edited together to look like one) of a room, the shot visible at the top of this post. Throughout the film's 40 minutes, the camera extremely slowly zooms in, until settling on a postcard photo of the ocean, before fading to white and ending. That's it. During the film's slow, lagging pace, we are also greeted with the sights of a woman having furniture moved into the room, sitting and listening to the radio, and re-entering a long period after to find a dead man on the floor. As these events happen, director Michael Snow could not give a flying f*ck. All he cares about is the slow zoom on the postcard. This makes the film original, clever, and gives it a specific target and a mind of its own. It, in fact, represents the entire process of watching a film. We start out at the beginning, and we're slowly building to a climax (represented by the postcard) that we can barely see if we squint, but as the film progresses, we get closer and closer to that climax, until finally at the end, we see it. The whole of Wavelength is an excercise in what we can sit through. A good film takes its time to reach the climax, and Snow is representing that timeline with a deceptively simple zoom on a picture. A very clever metaphor.
Snow further tests the audience by playing on the soundtrack a, long consecutive beeping noise which begins at the 8-minute mark and lasts until the very end. It slowly becomes more high-pitched, louder, and annoying, representing the intense buildup to a climax we might feel while watching a movie. Snow tests the audience. Many will be bored and frustrated with the film, particularly that distracting beep, but watching Wavelength is not so much as watching a film as it is analysing human endurance in filmmaking and storytelling; what we can sit through, and whether our curiosity to the ending will be enough to make us sit through what might seem otherwise like a piece of time-wasting crap. It's an excercise, to be studied and learned from.
I'd like to make this a longer review, but there's really not much more to say. The film looks simple, and it is. Some people will be able to sit through it, and will walk away having learned something, but others will be bored out of their mind and will likely not finish it or fast forward through it. Don't do this. It's not how you should watch a movie. It's cheating yourself.
Conveniently, Snow also created WVLNT, which is essentially the whole film, edited down to about 15 minutes. I'm sure it has a similar impact and can be learnt from in the same manner as the original, but the whole point of its long, unbearable pace is to force you to think about what on Earth it means and why you're watching it. This is not a waste of time; this a great way to spend time if you're trying to analyse what really goes into making a movie and the stress a director feels about whether the audience will be able to sit through their film. This is Snow's point: sitting through this is just like sitting through a normal movie. It starts out simple enough, and leads expectingly to a gratifying ending that we know we've been slowly approaching the whole time. Fantastic.
My Rating: 8/10.
So, put yourself to the ultimate endurance test. Watch Wavelength right here, right now. Try to do it without skipping parts, fast forwarding or turning it off altogether. It might be a small achievement to make it through, but it's an achievement nonetheless:
Seen Wavelength? What did you think of it? A work of art or a waste of time? Leave a comment below.
Thanks for reading.

NPC Panel: Civil Liberties Dead Zone
March 20, 2014
About This Video
Run time: 75 minutes
"Civil Liberties Dead Zone: Do First and Fourth Amendment Rights Not Apply at the Border?" examines known cases of media workers and journalists who have been interrogated at the U.S. border by Homeland Security Department officials who have demanded access to their laptops, thumb drives and other digital devices.
Defended as a tool in the fight against crime and terrorism, the DHS policy has aroused the concern of press freedom advocates who worry the practice could jeopardize reporters' sensitive information -- including the identities of anonymous sources -- particularly if journalists are unaware their digital information is vulnerable to search and seizure at the U.S. border.
The NPC's Freedom of the Press Committee put together a well-rounded expert panel that will examine the legal environment of the policy, the risks it poses to press freedom and to privacy, as well as the potential benefits in the fight against terrorism.
Speakers include:
- Moderator Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center
- Frank Smyth, senior adviser for journalist security at the Committee to Protect Journalists
- Neema Guliani, legislative counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union
- Steven Bradbury, partner, Dechert LLP, and former head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, 2005-2009
The NPC's Press Freedom Committee leads club efforts to speak out about potential threats to press freedom and open government in the United States and abroad and to promote greater transparency and protections for journalists.

Senators prefer Kerry to Rice
If Senate Republicans got to choose between Susan Rice and John Kerry for next secretary of state, it'd be no contest: Kerry by a landslide.
In interviews Tuesday, several GOP senators dissed the United Nations ambassador while giving the Massachusetts Democrat a ringing endorsement to succeed Hillary Clinton in the prestigious post. Rice and Kerry are reportedly high on President Barack Obama's list of potential replacements.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: President Obama's second-term Cabinet)
It's hardly a surprise many senators favor Kerry over Rice. They've served with him for years, enduring endless committee hearings and floor debates and occasionally even teaming up with him on legislation.
"I think he'd be much more easily confirmed in the Senate than Susan Rice," said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), a member of the Foreign Relations Committee that will hold confirmation hearings on the next secretary of state.
As senators returned to the Capitol on Tuesday, it was clear Rice's public remarks on the Sept. 11 Libya assault would continue to dog her if Obama gives her the nod. Specifically, Republicans blasted her Sept. 16 statements on the Sunday talk show circuit that the deadly attack was triggered by "spontaneous" demonstrations against an anti-Islam YouTube video.
Republicans have insisted that the assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a terrorist attack — a position the White House later agreed with.
"It's clear at a minimum she made misrepresentations and misstatements on Benghazi on every major news network and so I think those questions have to be answered," Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) told POLITICO. "And so I have serious questions about her being put in the position of secretary of state."
"Our intelligence officials in Libya, in real time while the event was taking place, were letting our folks know back here this was a terrorist attack," added Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who is expected to succeed outgoing Sen. Dick Lugar as the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee.
"It is beyond me that [Rice] would be out publicly talking about that event [as something sparked by a spontaneous demonstration]. It's beyond belief."
Those two senators did not threaten to filibuster Rice's possible nomination, saying more questions needed to be answered. But Barrasso said her public remarks after the Libya attack meant that he could not support her.
"I think she disqualified herself as secretary of state because in that role you need to have somebody with sound judgement and who is able to ask tough questions in situations which are stressful," Barrasso told reporters. "And I think she failed in light of Benghazi and the reports she did five days later."
Corker's concerns about Rice are significant, and the Foreign Relations panel has oversight of the State Department and would vote to confirm or reject Obama's pick to replace Clinton. Kerry, a five-term senator and the committee's chairman, is also a top prospect for the job, though a Washington Post report Tuesday suggested Obama is also considering him for defense secretary.
Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, declined to comment when asked by POLITICO about whether he has had any conversations with Obama about the defense job.
"I don't have any comment about anything that we're doing," Kerry said before ducking into a closed-door Foreign Relations Committee briefing on the Benghazi attack.

THURSDAY, Jan. 3, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Having a traumatic brain injury at some time in your life doesn't raise the risk of dementia in old age, but it does increase the odds of re-injury, a new study finds.
"There is a lot of fear among people who have sustained a brain injury that they are going to have these horrible outcomes when they get older," said senior author Kristen Dams-O'Connor, assistant professor of rehabilitation medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.
"It's not true," she said. "But we did find a risk for re-injury."
The 16-year study of more than 4,000 older adults also found that a recent traumatic brain injury with unconsciousness raised the odds of death from any cause in subsequent years.
Those at greatest risk for re-injury were people who had their brain injury after age 55, Dams-O'Connor said. "This suggests that there are some age-related biological vulnerabilities that come into play in terms of re-injury risk," she said.
Dams-O'Connor said doctors need to look out for health issues among older patients who have had a traumatic brain injury. These patients should try to avoid another head injury by watching their balance and taking care of their overall health, she said.
To investigate the consequences of a traumatic brain injury in older adults, the researchers collected data on participants in the Adult Changes in Thought study, conducted in the Seattle area between 1994 and 2010. The participants' average age was 75.
At the start of the study, which was published recently in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, none of the participants suffered from dementia. Over 16 years of follow-up, the researchers found that those who had suffered a traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness at any time in their lives did not increase their risk for developing Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.
The risk of another traumatic brain injury, however, more than doubled if the first injury occurred before age 25 and almost quadrupled if the injury happened after age 55. Similarly, a recent traumatic brain injury more than doubled the odds of death from any cause, the study found.
Dams-O'Connor's group plans to look at risk factors to try to understand why some people have poor long-term prognosis after a brain injury.
One expert said genetics may play a role. "My guess is that the risk for post-traumatic-brain-injury Alzheimer's disease has a genetic component with some genes increasing risk and others offering protection," said Dr. Sam Gandy, associate director of the Mount Sinai Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in New York City.
These findings should not be confused with those regarding athletes who suffer brain injuries, Gandy said.
"The dramatic examples of former [National Football League] players, hockey players and wrestlers who have an unusual illness, marked by depression, agitation and psychosis are quite different from Alzheimer's disease patients who tend to be apathetic," he said.
"Much remains to be discovered about the role of lifelong traumatic brain injury history, including severity and nature of torque and other physical factors, and late-life mental decline," Gandy said.
Another expert, Dr. Danny Liang, a neurosurgeon at North Shore-LIJ Cushing Neuroscience Institute in Manhasset, N.Y., thinks these findings are too narrow to say much about the risk of dementia as a result of traumatic brain injury.
"The study is restricted to a limited population so it's hard to extrapolate these findings to other populations," he said. "It is also possible that there were people who had traumatic brain injury who did develop dementia before age 65, so they were not included in the study," Liang said.
There also was no data on injury severity or duration of unconsciousness, he said. Brain injuries differ, and knowing the severity is important to determine the ultimate outcome, he said.

2009 Emmy Awards host Neil Patrick Harris will have the chance to show off his musical chops again on the 100th episode of his CBS comedy, "How I Met Your Mother," Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello reported.
"Fans of Neil's performance at the Emmys will enjoy the ending of the episode. It's not a musical episode, but all of a sudden it becomes one. It'll probably be one of the craziest things we've ever done on the show," executive producer Craig Thomas told the mag. "There will be a huge Barney story culminating in an enormous musical number that we're going to spend way too much of Twentieth Television's money on."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Emmys 2009: The After Parties!
Neil, who plays Barney Stinson on the show, earned praise for his hosting duties of the awards broadcast, but his big number won't hold the show's only fireworks.
The episode, set to air in January, also promises fresh revelations about the show's titular mother.

"There is some serious 'Mother' action in episode 100," Craig said. "It'll be the closest Ted's ever come to [discovering who she is]. He's getting a step closer every episode this season, and episode 100 [we] kind of go bananas with it."

• Dave Peacock is vice president for marketing of Anheuser-Busch, recently published by Belgian brewing giant InBev in a controversial deal. He has to market American products from Budweiser but also has to oversee the company's wine and spirits marketing efforts. Advertising Age thinks there's a problem there, and asked Peacock about it specifically.
Q: "You have been dabbling more in spirits, picking up a number of boutique brands. But in (a recent) speech ... you called wine and liquor "the enemy." You said specifically that you could not be "outromanced by wine" or "outfunned by liquor." Those didn't sound like the words of someone who wants to play in that space."
A: "We started looking at liquor and wine a long time ago because of the emerging macro trends [of wine and liquor gaining share from beer]. And we really did believe we owed it to our shareholders to do this [because of consumer trends increasingly favoring spirits].
"We tested some things in liquor. But we started making the decision back in the first quarter of this year that we were probably going to disentangle that. It didn't work really well at the wholesale level. Those brands are marketed very differently than beer. The category is much more fragmented. And, frankly, we see upside in beer. We've seen beer have a little bit of a resurgence."

Jerry Sandusky Scandal
'Today' show interview: Jerry Sandusky maintains innocence; filmmaker says Paterno was 'railroaded'
In jailhouse interviews broadcast Monday, convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky laughed off the notion he was sexually abusing a young boy in a Penn State locker room in 2001, saying sex is "the last thing" he would think of about the incident that led to the firing of longtime coach Joe Paterno.
NBC's "Today" show aired just a snippet of 31/2-hour telephone interviews Sandusky had with filmmaker John Ziegler for his project "The Framing of Joe Paterno," which seeks to defend the late coach who Ziegler said was railroaded.
But the Paterno family's lawyer rebuffed Ziegler's attempts to defend Paterno using the Sandusky interviews, calling Ziegler's work "misguided and inappropriate." Penn State joined the fray, too, saying the remarks were an insult to abuse victims everywhere.
In one excerpt, Sandusky defended himself against the late-night February 2001 incident that then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary witnessed after he returned to the Lasch Building to drop off some new sneakers. At the trial last summer, Mike McQueary testified it was sexual in nature because of slapping sounds and the proximity of Sandusky's body to the young boy.
"I don't understand how anybody would have walked into that locker room from where he was and heard sounds associated that was sex going on," a laughing Sandusky said in the recording, sneering at the word "sex."
"I mean, there was," Sandusky continued, pausing, "that would have been the last thing I would have thought about. I would have thought maybe fooling around or something like that."
Sandusky has served so far about six months of a 30- to 60-year sentence for sexually abusing 10 boys, but he did not take the stand during his trial.
Ziegler said Sandusky's voice was necessary for his film and recorded the phone calls with Sandusky's permission. Ziegler said he plans to release more of the audio clips later.
"This is all about Joe Paterno's alleged culpability, which I don't believe the facts back," said Ziegler, who runs the website framingpaterno.com and told "Today" host Matt Lauer he has no direct ties to Penn State. Referring to Paterno, "I believe he was railroaded."
When Ziegler asked Sandusky if Paterno would have allowed Sandusky to keep coaching if he knew Sandusky were pedophile, he answered:
"If he absolutely thought I was, I'd say no. If he had a suspicion, I don't know the answer to that."
Ziegler said he believes Victim 2 told investigators he was not abused on the night in question.
On the show, Ziegler held up sheets of paper he said was from the young man's interview Nov. 9, 2011, with defense attorney Joe Amendola's investigator. The typing on the papers was not legible, and lines were redacted.
Ziegler said the young man told the investigator "nothing happened in the shower that night, that McQueary was lying, and that the investigators tried to get him to lie."
"I'm saying he's telling the truth on Nov. 9, 2011, and that Joe Paterno was railroaded here," Ziegler said of Victim 2.
But there's wide disagreement over Victim 2, who never testified at trial seemingly because neither the prosecuting attorneys nor the defense lawyers could count on him to withstand cross-examination.
Sandusky attorney Joe Amendola told the Centre Daily Times in January 2012 that a young man had come forward to him about that 2001 shower incident, but the young man later contacted local lawyer Andrew Shubin and cut off contact with Amendola.
His civil lawyers, Shubin and Justine Andronici, have said their client was subject to years of abuse, including the night in question that McQueary testified about.
The lawyers also released voicemail messages Sandusky left for Victim 2 in September 2011. Ziegler said on the show that Victim 2 was interviewed by police that month.
The lawyers responded to the interview in a statement aired by "Today."
"Our clients, including Victim 2, have heard enough from Jerry Sandusky," the lawyers said. "They are focused on healing and holding Penn State accountable for choosing to protect Jerry Sandusky and themselves instead of protecting children from years of horrific sexual abuse."
The lawyer for the Paterno family, Wick Sollers, released a statement that said the family had no role in "obtaining or releasing" the audio clips that were aired Monday.
Sollers said Sandusky's comments were "transparently self-serving and yet another insult to the victims and anyone who cares about the truth in this tragic story."
Penn State spokesman David La Torre said Sandusky's comments "continue to open wounds for his victims, and the victims of child sexual abuse everywhere."
"We have tremendous respect for the men who came forward to tell their stories publicly," La Torre said in a statement.

Managers who have been used to stable environments and well conceived plans are often reticent to move to seize opportunities with quick and decisive action based on incomplete information and knowledge. The turbulent contemporary environment, however, require leaders to rapidly evaluate the potential of new communication opportunities and to take risks in a highly uncertain setting.
This is disturbing to managers who are used to employing well developed and elegant strategies that require significant investment and commitment. Declining to test opportunities until a clear roadmap is produced, however, takes away flexibility and the ability to rapidly change with contemporary developments.
While preserving the core activities of media businesses, managers need to simultaneously look for emerging opportunities that can be pursued, communities that can been served, and experiences that can be delivered. It is important to get in quick and inexpensively, to build on small successes, and to abandon initiatives if success proves elusive.
It is better to fail often, fail early, and fail cheap than to avoid risky moves, lose potentially rewarding opportunities, and forgo learning from innovative initiatives.
In the current tumultuous environment, failure has become a form of research and development. Try things; drop those that don't take you somewhere interesting; document what you learn from each unsuccessful initiative; move on to something new. What you learn from unsuccessful efforts is usually more important that what you from success.
The only real failure in the rapidly changing world of media is doing nothing and hoping things will get better on their own,

Ice Dancing Shoots to NFL-Level Popularity
~by Amy Lignor
It is odd to say that the sport of Ice Dancing is now being spoken about and raved about as much as the NFL. It has always been a truth that football players and the Super Bowl, are the most recognized and beloved sports event in America. However, with the slam dunk given from an amazingly talented and beautiful couple at the Sochi Olympics – bringing home the first gold medal America has ever seen in the sport of Ice Dancing – the NFL now has competition.
The fans are going crazy over Meryl Davis and Charlie White – especially Charlie because of his significant, constant and very real laughter; not to mention, the reemergence of a haircut that was truly sought after in the 1980's. This pair rocked it at the Olympics, and they have been rocking it ever since they arrived home on news shows, talk shows – even Stephen Colbert gave them the spotlight and more fans jumped on the ice dancing wagon because of their humor.
These are two people who really began working together when they were kids. And unlike what you would assume to see, a boy wondering why on earth he had to hold an 'icky' girl, and a girl who was sick to death of dealing with one of those aggravating boys, the videos of these two at the young age of eight and nine were adorable. In fact, the dancing was so good back then, that it looked as if they could win the Olympics before they ever received their grade school diplomas.
The coaches say she was shy, and that he was annoyed, but staying together through the years was perfect for them, as well as the rest of us, because they have now become a pair that teens are screaming for as loudly as they did for Edward when 'Twilight' came on the scene. (Okay, perhaps not that much. That was absolutely ridiculous).
This is one couple who show their humor, love and absolute respect for one another, treating each other like the sister and brother they were raised to be. It's a good thing they didn't get overly annoyed with each other long ago, or we would have missed out on the best Ice Dancing performance the Olympics has ever seen.
For those who are unaware, America was not exactly the premiere athletes when it came to this particular sport. A change in the judging system that occurred back in the mid-2000s finally helped make our country a true contender. And it is the USA versus Canada rivalry with Tessa Virtue and Scott Mo that has helped to lift the sport even higher – with Americans wanting desperately to cheer for their duo and slam dunk the other guys.
The Canadians and Americans finished one and two back in Vancouver, with Davis and White bringing home the silver. So it was a shock (to Canada only, actually), that this time around they provided the perfect no-holds-bar romantic show that brought both art and athleticism to the ice; a stunning show that had them stealing the gold from Canada and making the rivalry even more intense for the fans.
When it comes to Ice Dancing, people don't really know how absolutely difficult this sport is; even more difficult than pairs skating. Yes, the pairs must jump in unison, twirl in unison, land in unison, etcetera; but for the ice dancing pair, they have to stay close at all times and offer footwork that is out of this world hard.
Step sequences – real dancing – must be done face-to-face, including lifts, spins, and twizzles to land a perfect score, which is just what the Americans did in Sochi. And one of the most difficult factors comes from the rule that partners are not supposed to separate by more than two arm lengths during the entire program.
The performance this pair gave was unforgettable. The beauty – the story they created on the ice was dramatic. This was one show where the entire stadium was silent as they nailed each and every step to claim the ultimate medal for the Americans.
Keep watch on these two. They may just become the next 'Edward' that America will definitely obsess over!
Until Next Time, Everybody,

Grafenberg intrauterine device (IUD), Europe, 1925-1935
German gynaecologist Ernst Grafenberg (1881-1957) devised this intrauterine device (IUD) in the 1920s. The Grafenberg IUD was a popular contraceptive. Early examples were made of silkworm gut and silver wire. An IUD works after conception. It stops a newly fertilised embryo implanting and growing in the lining of the uterus. It was inserted into the uterus by a physician. It could be left in place for several years.

Stoudamire finds home in Memphis
Rockets to look elsewhere for help in their backcourt
After reaching an agreement with free-agent power forward Stromile Swift two weeks ago, the Rockets turned their attention to landing a veteran guard for their backcourt.
The player atop their wish list — Houston resident Damon Stoudamire — had expressed an interest in joining the team.
But according to sources, Stoudamire and the Memphis Grizzlies have agreed on a four-year, $17 million deal that will be finished when the NBA lifts its moratorium on signings. The NBA and the players' union finished talks and completed their deal early today, clearing the way for teams to start making deals.
Stoudamire averaged 15.8 points and 5.7 assists with Portland last season.
Stoudamire, 31, appears to be a good fit for the Grizzlies, who are bracing for the loss of Earl Watson. Memphis reportedly is pursuing a sign-and-trade deal for Watson, who spent three seasons backing up point guard Jason Williams.
With Stoudamire having made $12.5 million with the Trail Blazers last season and the Rockets able to offer their salary-cap exemption of only $1.8 million, the teams reportedly were discussing a sign-and-trade deal.
Rockets forwards Clarence Weatherspoon, owed $6.53 million over the final year of his contract, and Juwan Howard, due $26 million over four years, reportedly were dangled as trade bait, but the two clubs failed to reach an agreement, paving the way for Stoudamire to sign with Memphis.
Miami and Cleveland also reportedly were interested. With Stoudamire off the market, the Rockets will alter their search.
Latrell Sprewell, Michael Finley and Gary Payton have been discussed as options.
Coincidentally, Stoudamire is set to participate in a charity softball tournament hosted by Rockets swingman Tracy McGrady this afternoon in League City.
The Rockets also learned free agent forward Scott Padgett has agreed to a multiyear deal with Phoenix. Padgett, 29, averaged 3.8 points and 2.6 rebounds over two seasons with the Rockets. He is expected to back up All-Star Amare Stoudemire.

Fabricating A Custom One-Off Grille
Unlike Pep Boy's and Autozone's mass produced abominations in a box that mount naked trucker ladies and nautical stars smack dab in the middle of whatever the trendy hip-hop vehicle's grille opening is, hot rodders are forced to think beyond the shelf for grille treatments. When it comes to planting a custom grille in the confines of one's truck, the hot rodder's mind is obligated to run rampant with ideas and visions.
The most common cure for the nose challenged is to pirate grill surrounds, bars, over riders and teeth from various makes and models and transplant them. The ones reaching for a distinctive look take things to the next level—custom grilles. Objects such as door knobs, camshafts, chrome bullets, various expanded metals, and other ornamental objects from hardware stores and metal yards get adapted to the nose of the ride. The ultimate in a grille is creating a handformed masterpiece from scratch.
The most accessible way to creating a custom grille is utilizing various styles of metal stock. The geometric shapes of metal stock range from square to round and everything in between. Depending on the look you're after will determine the stock you choose. Each shape will vastly give a different persona to the frontend; therefore it's vital in choosing the correct look. For a more distinguished look, oval or teardrop-shaped tubing can be used to fabricate the grille bars. The problem with shapes of that nature is they don't exactly bend and form into rolling lines, and therefore grilles of that character tend to be formed from round or small square stock. Regardless of which way one goes, handformed grilles always bring a sense of life to a frontend.
For the frontend of this '57 Chevy, a custom grille is in dire need to round out the persona Star Kustom Shop is after. Straying completely away from the stock-style grille Star Kustom is going to construct a tube grille in the vein of the '47 Oldsmobile's grille. The stock grille opening will be retained, yet molded in, due to the fact the shape from the bottom left corner to the bottom right-hand corner is the perfect canvas for this style of a grille.
When it comes to bending round stock, there are several ways. The most efficient and easiest way is to utilize a tube bender. For those lacking a bender, forming a buck and bending round stock around the buck via heat and pressure is a viable option. When bending round stock with a bender, either a hollow or solid rod is acceptable. Neither will kink, and they still retain an even and flowing bend. When it comes to heating hollow bars and forming them around a buck, things don't quite work out that way. The hollow rod won't heat evenly and it will collapse upon itself and form a kink. Therefore, using a solid rod is the way to go when doing things the old-school way.
For the grille on hand, Star Kustom has decided to use 1-inch round stock. Because of the weight of the length needed, only the bends will be formed from solid stock, and then a hollow bar will be welded between the bends. (The grille could be formed entirely from solid rod, but the weight at this diameter and length of rod would tip the scales of even Rosie O'Donnell!) Another thing to keep in mind is that when forming sequential bends the inner radiuses must gradually get smaller. If one were to use the same bend and only remove a few inches from the middle of the straight increments, the grille wouldn't step down and stay uniform. Therefore, each grille bar in any type of sequential series must be formed around its individual radius. Enough hoopla, follow along as Star Kustom builds a grille from nothing more than common metal stock! CCT

Read this first before add new suggestion
- Point of this page is to not become another Beginner's guide. It's meant to be a concise checklist of things to be done. So detailed install instruction should go to Beginners' Guide.
- If anyone wants to discuss/add sth, then do it on Talk:Beginners'_Guide/Installation. An advancded user will find this page less bloated and easier to read, so let's KISS.
Configure the bootloader
From the section Configure the bootloader in Configure the system: Shouldn't you edit the
syslinux.cfg to point to the right / (root) partition? Or why don't we just put a link to the corresponding section of the syslinux page there? Guelfi (talk) 09:18, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'd rather get rid of the mentions of configuring separately. It's weird. Why isn't the installation section sufficient? Falconindy (talk) 12:05, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have edited it as Guelfi Suggested. Here is an example showing that Guelfi is right. --Kaurin (talk) 01:52, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
- At least we should add "syslinux-install_update -i -a -m -c /mnt" after pacstrap /mnt syslinux because otherwise there will be nothing in the MBR to boot from. After that /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg APPEND Line has to be changed to point to the real root partition. By default it points to root=/dev/sda3.--Blackout23 (talk) 12:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Also this has to be done before arch-chrooting otherwise MBR installtion will say "/mnt/boot is empty Is /boot mounted?. Even though ls showed me that there is /boot with syslinux installed. --Blackout23 (talk) 13:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- At least we should add "syslinux-install_update -i -a -m -c /mnt" after pacstrap /mnt syslinux because otherwise there will be nothing in the MBR to boot from. After that /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg APPEND Line has to be changed to point to the real root partition. By default it points to root=/dev/sda3.--Blackout23 (talk) 12:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

GRUB talks about the "configuring the system" section, and "configuring the system" just says to check the bootloader section. We need to add the link: Grub
GRUB2 Installation
I moved GRUB2 installation after chroot. Otherwise it doesn't work. grub-bios is in /mnt, so we need to tell grub-install about it. But arch iso has grub 0.97, and installation - 2.00, so iso's grub doesn't understand installation's files. --Shuk (talk) 11:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
GRUB install failure
This doesn't work for me.
It looks so similar to the Beginners' Guide as to be almost redundant, but the first subtle difference I came across meant (for me) that this procedure failed where the Beginners' Guide succeeded.
Under "GRUB" you have:
"Install GRUB2 to the harddrive containing your boot partition before you chroot."
# grub-install /dev/sda
doing so returns:
"Path /boot/grub is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting."
In the Beginners' Guide, this step takes place after chrooting, which (for me) works ok, (although the wording - "Install GRUB2 to the harddrive containing your boot partition before you chroot" - is the same, so I guess both wiki entries are at fault). --bananabrain
Link Elinks to wiki
Just read that elinks is included on install iso, maybe add an alias/script to allow loading of wiki guide installation guide? --Mr Green
Check MD5 with Windows
Maybe we should add a link to http://www.etree.org/md5com.html - so people know how to check the MD5 with windows. I would add it myself but the page is locked for edit :-( . --PMay (talk)
- This info should be add to Beginner's Guide. -- Fengchao (talk) 03:26, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- QuickSFV is better, IMO. Personally I wouldn't add it at all. Downloading through BitTorrent means that the hash tree is checked, and unless you have a drive with bad sectors (in which case you have bigger issues than this), then you don't really need to verify it. -- DSpider (talk) 07:44, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
The method to set locale
The documentation sais to set the locale by:
- Set locale preferences in
The documentation at locale sais that the locale can also be set at
/etc/rc.conf. This is confusing and should be clarified. --PMay (talk)
- It can be set in both files. The
locale.conffile is used by systemd and is more portable across distributions. It's relatively new, so the
rc.confmethod existed previously (rc.conf is specific to Arch Linux). I think the locale page makes it pretty clear that both can be used. thestinger (talk) 08:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Mention the other config files
The old installation guide said something about editing the other config files:
- /etc/rc.conf
- /etc/fstab
- /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
- /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
- /etc/resolv.conf
- /etc/hosts
- /etc/locale.gen
- /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- /etc/pacman.conf
- /etc/crypttab
This guide does not even mention
/etc/rc.conf which is one of the central config files of archlinux. That should be added. --PMay (talk)
- Well I saw this: Beginners'_Guide#Configure_system so
/etc/rc.confisnot the official way to configure the system anymore... --PMay (talk)
- True, but some clarification somewhere about exactly which bits of rc.conf are still necessary and which have been superceded (and by what) would be useful. So far it seems like just the first six lines of the LOCALIZATION section and the HOSTNAME line from the networking section. I'm still slightly in the dark here, but getting there. --bananabrain
- Regarding rc.conf, a lot of information has been added to its man page. I'm not sure how well aligned the man page and wiki page for it are, might need some updating. In any case you don't need to change anything in rc.conf for a basic install, so anything regarding that should go into the Beginners' Guide. --Emiralle (talk) 16:59, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

- The rc.conf page will need quite a bit of updating once initscripts >= 2012.07.5-1 moves to [core].

No mentioning of SWAP
In the main-article I saw a link to "paritioning" and "create new filesystems" but none of them mention how to set up a swap-partition. I would link it under "Format partitions": https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap
- As Dave already said multiple times, this guide is intended as a check list. Swap is hardly different from normal partitions, most likely not needed on recent hardware and you can set it up later if it turns out you really need one. I don't see the need for a link here. --Bluewind (talk) 12:56, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Change section "Connect to the internet"
Since the installation guide is now part of the iso image, I'd like to see a few references to the manpages of the necessary tools here, since you cannot open the network related wiki pages. Maybe something like this would be acceptable:
Assuming a wired ethernet connection, running dhclient or dhcpcd is sufficient to get a lease. Otherwise set up the connection manually using ip add, wpa_supplicant (WLAN with WPA), pppoe-setup (DSL), etc. You can also create and use netcfg profiles. Read more in the manpages: ip(8), wpa_supplicant(8), pppoe(8), netcfg(8), netcfg-profiles(5)
A reminder to install the packages for the internet connection in the pacstrap section would also be nice. -- progandy
Suggestions to update this guide as part of ISO
Since this guide is now being included as 'install.txt' in the ISO, it might be beneficial to incorporate the following changes:
- Entirely remove the 1. Download section and move it to the Download area of the archlinux.org page. This document here is about installing, not downloading, checking, burning discs or dd'ing. The majority of users reading this have likely already booted up the install medium.
- Begin or end the document by mentioning the new archlinux(7) man page which explains the location of important system configuration files
# man archlinux
- Slightly expand the 6. Connect to the internet section to include the most basic examples of setting up a private network using a dynamic and static IP address. (Right now it's only a single paragraph/line.) It's a vital installation step and should actually be moved to the top as one of the first actions during system setup. This fact should be emphasized.
Obtain dynamic IP
# dhcpcd
Set static IP
# ip link set dev eth0 up # ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0 # ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 # echo "nameserver 220.127.116.11" >> /etc/resolv.conf
- I can agree to all your suggestions, I wonder why no one is modifying the wiki. Internet connection setup is the most important part and should be covered more extensively. In addition to your changes, mention the manpages and configuration templates for netcfg and pppoe-setup/connect. The boot medium must at least contain easy accesible information in order to read all pages referenced in the installation guide. There should also be mentioned that elinks is installed and can be used to access the wiki. --Progandy (talk) 21:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Change PS1 during chroot
Be handy for some users to export PS1="[ chroot ]" maybe minor change to arch-chroot script Mr Green
As this guide mentions the loading of keymaps using loadkeys there should be at least a very small example about /etc/vconsole.conf
Either not talk about keymaps or tell how to make it correct. When this is used as a checklist, the setup of the keymap should not be missing.
add a step: setting the clock
Lots of things care about the clock being more-or-less correct, e.g. pacman-key will not work at all if the clock is too far out. Lots of brand new computers come with the clock set to something in the distant past, which causes weird problems during the install. Thetrivialstuff (talk) 23:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
pacman-key --init / populate?
Isn't this a required step? pacstrap does not seem to do it on its own. Thetrivialstuff (talk) 23:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Edit: Ah; I think this was related to the "set the clock" step -- I see that there is a pacman keyring init in the boot sequence of the latest media, but it (silently?) fails if the local clock is wrong.
- https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2012-July/002708.html --Bluewind (talk) 09:10, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Link to UEFI Bootloaders page
Instead of telling the user to install GRUB(2) alone in case of UEFI, direct the reader to the UEFI_Bootloaders page which provides info about all the UEFI bootloaders capable of booting linux kernel. Also how can I edit the guide, there is no "edit" tab shown on top of the page. Is this page restricted to few authors only? -- Keshav P R (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Add a new language
Could someone add the Language ref to the Portuguese version of this guide? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide_%28Portugu%C3%AAs%29
Same here for the Romanian translation. Add: [[ro:Ghid de instalare]] above Russian. Thanks! --DSpider (talk) 16:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- The "Install a bootloader" section should be a bullet point above "Configure the bootloader: refer back to the appropriate ...", no need to have them separate. Using pacstrap to install the bootloader just seems silly (especially since they were also merged in the Beginner's Guide). Also, commands after
arch-chrootwould look better if they were indented with ": {{bc|# <command>}}", kinda like how
# pacman-key -v <iso-file>.sigis at the beginning of the article. Would look much cleaner. --DSpider (talk) 16:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

An adaptation of the Charles and Ray Eames classic 1968 documentary by the same name, Powers of Ten: A Flipbook, is an ocular journey dealing with the relative size of things in the universe and the effect of adding another zero.
Travel from the edge of the universe to an atom in the hand of a sleeping man at a picnic. The effect is a spectacular cosmic adventure. A journey that involves astronomy, biology, particle physics and much more, but ultimately, it is about size. At one extreme of the flipbook is a view 10 million light years across (10+23 meters)—the Milky Way a tiny speck towards the center. At the other extreme, the frame is completely filled by the tiny proton (10-15 meters)
