STUDYING the humanities, an educational and cultural program based on the classics and embellished with the notion of human dignity, is a way for people to understand and come to terms with the complexities of modern society, according to David Danahar, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Fairfield University.
Dr. Danahar, a specialist in European history, is also the director of the university's Humanities Institute, which supports innovative teaching projects and research in the humanities. He earned his Ph.D in European history from the University of Massachusetts in 1970. Before coming to Fairfield University, he served as the associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the State University of New York at Oswego.
In an interview in his office at Fairfield University, Dr. Danahar discussed the origins of the humanities and the benefits of studying its disciplines. Here are some excerpts from the conversation:
Q. How would you define the humanities?
A. Initially the humanities were a series of exercises designed to prepare people in ancient Greece to become good and virtuous citizens. What it since evolved into is the pursuit or study of what gives meaning and value to life. You explore the humanities to find out what it means to be human, whether it's through the study of history, art, literature or philosophy, all of those areas where we see humans interacting, displaying values or making choices.
In studying the humanities, we come to recognize our sense of imagination, creativity and ability to reason. One of its most important contributions is that it helps us to develop a sense of tolerance. That is, the ability to understand how others behave and react, to accept difference, ambiguity and argument. Ideally, it instills in us those attributes that make us good and virtuous.
Q. How did the humanities evolve?
A. All societies have a fundamental propensity to explore what it means to be human, and how as humans we communicate. Here in the West our origins stem from ancient Greece and Rome. During different periods of history, the humanities have focused on various aspects of human activity as a way of preparing us to become good citizens. For example, in Rome, they talked about rhetoric as the key to the humanities. In 18th-century Oxford, it would have been through studying literature or language. In 20th-century America, the humanities may be found in a course on American Colonial history.
Q. What are some of the benefits of studying the humanities?
A. One reason we study the humanities is to gain an understanding of what motivates us as human beings. It's not simply meant to instruct us in the important dates and events, but rather to introduce us to many of the major ideas that have shaped the world. Those, say, that would drive a significant number of people from one community such as Europe, to a completely foreign community in America, to set up a whole new society with different values and expectations. It's important then in teaching the humanities to unveil the broader principles of why certain events happened and what that means for us today.
Q. How can we apply that knowledge to our day-to-day lives?
A. One way the humanities can enrich people is by helping them to develop better judgement. So that when one confronts a problem or a set of circumstances he or she will consider its many variables.
The classic American concern is, Can the humanities be used to solve problems? I think it's unfair to expect the humanities to solve problems. The humanities help to apprise people of the general principles and values that lie behind decisions. They are not meant to solve problems.
Q. What are some of its other practical benefits?
A. I would hope that the study of the humanities would help people to come to terms with the complexity of life. That it would develop within them a sense of openness and tolerance. That it would teach them to reflect on and accept the dimensions within each human being. In that sense, the humanities can provide a general framework on how to view yourself and others. They enable us to see that we are a community of humans and that we share certain values.
Q. Why do you think the business community continues to recruit college graduates with strong backgrounds in the humanities?
A. They've been saying for years that the knowledge of accounting or finance or marketing are obviously essential skills, but in conducting business you also have to have a sense of the human experience. Their object is to hire men and women who are sensitive to questions of values in choice, people who are articulate, literate and can communicate.
Those who can understand that business, like any other area is concerned with human productivity and the processes of human behavior. Basically, they're looking for people who are sensitive to what it means to be a human being.
Q. Should people running for public office be required to have a background in the humanities?
A. Most well-educated public officials do have a sound background in the humanities, but just because a person has that knowledge doesn't mean that they would not act immorally.

Enis Koylu Galloway isn't the 'real Labour' candidate for Manchester Gorton
Even among the desperately unpopular far-left Labour leadership, Galloway is persona non grata, despite his wealth of experience, charisma and public profile
Even among the desperately unpopular far-left Labour leadership, Galloway is persona non grata, despite his wealth of experience, charisma and public profile
'They're trying to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn, there's a slow motion coup. The real target is Jeremy Corbyn'
In the years since George Galloway was elected in Bradford, the politics of this depressed northern community has become dominated by the Palestine question
In many ways, he is a more impressive figure than Jeremy Corbyn, but no one's listening: he is currently polling at 0 per cent
'When have you ever not wanted to talk about you?'
Freedom of speech is dying - and it's universities' safe spaces that are at killing it, argues one student
Galloway's commentary on the rape allegations hanging over the head of Julian Assange are not forgotten or forgiven
The former MP and London Mayoral candidate also praised Jeremy Corbyn for his 'new, sartorial elegance' since becoming Labour leader
Mr Galloway claims Jess Phillips never approached him, and dismissed her as 'an MP I've never heard of'
Hopes that Iran will get sweeter with Rouhani in power are naive, to say the least
The Royal Baby name has been announced - it's George! But who was he named after? The obvious answer is any one of the King Georges I - VI who have reigned over our great nation. But there are other possibilities too...
Radical feminist publication Spare Rib is to be relaunched as a glossy magazine and website as feminist alternative to "PR and celebrity-filled women's" publications, according to reports.
George Galloway and Dennis Skinner object to plans to delay start of Commons, which would cause the cancellation of Prime Minister's Questions
Our diarist notes the frenetic effort Labour is putting into discovering new talent, and why the words of one Bill Oddie are not all they may seem to be
Britain has its fair share of maverick politicians, but as a dependable source of soundbites and surprises, few can match George Galloway.
Fed up with all three main parties? Fancy a bold, clever, sensible independent candidate to represent your city? That's what Londoners are being offered on Thursday, but the political and media establishments are doing their best to crush her. We have a 20th-century political system failing to cope with 21st-century politics.
David Cameron is running the risk of making himself more enemies on the Tory right than he needs. He caused considerable offence yesterday when he told Douglas Carswell – a popular MP despite his near-anarchist opposition to big government – to get a sense of humour. Carswell's offence was to ask a question which implied that ministers were letting themselves be run by the civil service. He later said: "I can do gags, but I reckon most people voted for me because they want change, not a comedian."

Apply for Consultative Status
Consultative relationships may be established with international, regional, sub regional and national non -governmental, non-profit public or voluntary organizations.
Before completing the application process, please review the guidelines about consultative status.
Please follow the steps below to complete your application for consultative status online.
1. Profile registration
Your organization must have a registered profile before starting the application for consultative status.
Before registering your organization, please check first, if your organization has not already been included. Many organizations that have participated in United Nations sponsored conferences have been added to this database. If your organization is already registered and you do not know the login details, please contact us.
Add your organizational profile
Login and update your existing profile
Not sure if your organization has already a profile
The profile registration will take about 10 minutes. Once completed, your profile will be reviewed by a substantive officer of DESA (related to the selected main objective). You will be informed by email when your registration has been accepted and you will not be able to login before this approval. It might take a few days for your profile to be approved. Please ensure that you do not submit your profile more than once.
2. Online application : Questionnaire + Summary + Supporting documentsAs the next step, after you are notified that your profile registration was accepted, your organization has to submit the application, containing the online questionnaire and summary, and the supporting documents.
The online application form can only be accepted in the two UN Secretariat working languages: English and French. All required documents submitted excluding publications should also be translated in English or French. If a document is too long, a translated summary may be accepted.
Components of supporting documents are:
- Copy of constitution/charter and/or statutes/by-laws and amendments to those documents (pursuant to paragraph 10 of ECOSOC resolution 1996/31).
- Copy or certificate of registration.
According to resolution 1996/31 an organization "should attest that it has been in existence for at least two years as at the date of receipt of the application by the Secretariat". Please provide a copy of the registration paper or, if your country does not require registration, please provide other proof of existence. - Copy of most recent financial statement and annual report.
- Optional: Copy of examples of your publications and recent articles or statements.
- Optional: Organization chart (if available).
Completed applications must be received by June 1st of the year before the NGO wishes to be considered for recommendation by the Committee. For example, complete applications (which include a completed questionnaire and all the required supporting documentation) submitted to the NGO Branch by 1 June 2014 will be taken up by the Committee on NGOs in the year 2015. Applications received between 2 June 2014 and 1 June 2015 will be taken up in the year 2016.
3. NGO Branch screening of applications
The period between 1st June and the date the Committee meets is dedicated by the NGO Branch to review the applications. During this time the NGO may be contacted and asked for more information or clarifications. Only after reviewed by an officer and considered complete, an application is submitted to the NGO Committee.
When an application becomes part of the agenda of the NGO Committee a letter is sent to the NGO informing them of the upcoming session and inviting to send no more than two representatives to be present during the session. The presence of NGO representatives in the room is in no way mandatory and it does not imply any advantages. NGOs simply have the right to be present when their applications are being considered. Considering the cost involved in traveling to New York most NGOs do not attend the first time they are being considered. If the application raises many questions from member countries and gets deferred to another session, NGOs might consider useful to be present at the following session in order to be able to reply in person and avoid being deferred again.
Among other requirements for obtaining consultative status are the following:
- Applying organization's activities must be relevant to the work of ECOSOC;
- The NGO must have been in existence (officially registered) for at least 2 years in order to apply;
- The NGO must have a democratic decision making mechanism;
- The major portion of the organization's funds should be derived from contributions from national affiliates, individual members, or other non-governmental components.
4. The Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations
The Committee meets twice a year to decide which NGOs applying for consultative status it will recommend to the ECOSOC Council. During its Session, the Committee may ask questions to the NGO. Such questions are sent to the NGO by the Secretariat and should be replied by the NGO as fast as possible in order to help the Committee make a decision and avoid getting deferred to future sessions.
The Committee Recommends
The Committee recommendations are published in a report and submitted to the next ECOSOC meeting for final approval. Official notification is sent to all reviewed NGOs, informing them about the Committee's recommendation.
The Committee may decide to defer an application review until the next session, pending clarifications and answers to questions asked to the NGO.
5. ECOSOC Final Decision
When the Council finally approves the Committee recommendation to grant consultative status to an NGO, official notification is sent by the Secretariat. NGOs granted General or Special consultative status must submit to the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, every fourth year, a brief report of their activities, in particular regarding their contribution to the work of the United Nations (Quadrennial Report).

Archery helps maintain nature's balance—hunters wield bows to keep deer populations in check, and Cupid's arrows make deer fall in love and make more deer. Keep the circle of life moving with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for an intro to archery lesson for two, including equipment and practice time on the range (a $50 value)
- $49 for an intro to archery lesson for four, including equipment and practice time on the range (a $100 value)
Instructors introduce small groups to the sport of archery with a focus on the fundamentals in a brief 15-minute lesson before turning their charges loose on the range. They cover safety procedures, proper shooting form, and how to check one's eye dominance, or the tendency to prefer visual information from one eye over the other. Most importantly, they teach students how to handle both recurve and compound bows, providing them with the opportunity to unleash arrows from both.
Archery Headquarters Academy
The instructors at Archery Headquarters Academy describe their chosen sport as a lifelong pursuit, one sharpened throughout years of training. It's never to early or too late to begin, and they gladly take on any student aged 8 and up. At first, they focus simply on fitness and fundamentals and introduce the skill in one-hour classes that cover proper form, safety, and essential range etiquette, such as how to avoid interrupting someone else's shot with a tasteless belch. As training continues, the instructors familiarize students with different types of bows and shooting styles. They encourage their charges to pick the combination that most appeals to them and pursue it through their intermediate and advanced classes, which arm attendees with the skills for hunting or competition.

301 - Optimal Situation
Optimal Situation is leagues above Aftermath. It's a very good start to the season, though I do feel the whole climax of last season is kind of resolved too quickly. By about a third of the episode in, it becomes almost a non issue. It took an entire seasons to set it up, it would have been nice if it took actual effort to undo it. But no, the whole situation is resolved swiftly and relatively effortlessly. But still, that's my only complaint. The episode is fun, and the lost of the Axalon is treated with proper gravitas. And unlike Aftermath, the episode feels far from padded or pointless. A good start for the season.
- Okay, huge bit of Fan Wankery and continuity here: The Animators based Prime's chest opening on the scene from the Movie where he passes on the Matrix. But they never realized what the Matrix was, leading to his spark container looking JUST LIKE the Autobot Matrix of leadership, with the actual thing nowhere to be seen in his chest. This confusion is further compounded by Rhinox' multiple mentions that Prime's spark "has the Matrix with it". You'll recall Beast Wars exclusively uses the term Matrix as Transformer Heaven, not referring to the Matrix of leadership (There's a reason future shows you call the former Allspark. It gets confusing). There's been two ways this error has been fanwanked away:
- Prime's spark is in the Matrix of leadership - merged with its glowy bit, and Rhinox is being literal: Prime's spark _has_ the Matrix with it. This could also explain Optimus' immense growth in size when he takes it, not unlike Hot Rod becoming Rodimus. Of course, unlike said Autobot, Primal doesn't revert upon returning Prime's spark. Nor is anyone else using the matrix ever shown to drop dead when losing it due to having their spark in it... Also, the transformation bit doesn't make sense when you ccnsider what'll happen to Megatron in a future episode.
- The other, now made canon by a comic◊, is that Prime's chest contains a Matrix-shaped container for his spark as a decoy. The real matrix is in a hidden panel behind it. Of course, that's not seen when you watch the movie... But it brings less plot holes and Fridge Logic.
- As mentioned before, Waspinator somehow did not change during Possession. And Prime's spark being filled with some sort of Matrix is no handwave, as another episode will show.
- Primal's voice resembles Prime's after he changes. This continues even after he returns the Spark. Next episode however, his voice is back to normal.
- Primal uses two lines associated with Prime: Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. and Transform and Roll Out!. The former is Optimus Prime's motto on this tech specs for most of his toys. Bob Forward mentioned he picked it on the Transformer Usenet group without knowing its significance. Guess he got lucky.
- In the Japanese continuity (Which is different from the American one. In Japan, Takara insists all the shows are in continuity with one another. All. Of. Them.) Optimus Prime (Convoy) is dimly aware of the Spark Transplant and of Optimus Primal. The two meet in a tie-in comic for the Binaltech toys and Prime recognizes Primal having saved him. In fact said recognition clues the reader on Primal's identity in the comic.
- Ravage does come back from the dead in the comics. If you care about that.
- There's a practical reason for the Axalon's destruction: Optimus wouldn't fit in it. In fact, the "station" he has in the new HQ made out of the ship's bridge has had its floor removed so he can stand there.
- A nice touch in the episode's animation is you can clearly see the Maximals having trouble with their ancestors oversized buttons and switches, straining to use them.
- It's not clear why a headshot would kill Prime if his spark and the accompanying support equipment is in his chest.
- Also, because it is funny:
Oh lord, that video. I haven't laughed like that in a while. XDDDD
New work schedule means updates will be less regular. I do plan to continue this.

The style and vocabulary of classical architecture will be explored next weekend in two days of workshops, lectures and tours sponsored by the Institute for the Study of Classical Architecture.
According to the institute's co-founder, Donald M. Rattner, an increasing number of people are turning away from pared-down styles and returning to classical motifs for interiors, exteriors and gardens. Nonetheless, Mr. Rattner said, few universities offer anything approaching rigorous training in traditional architectural techniques. ''A significant portion of our classical heritage,'' he said, ''has been abandoned in our training, boiled down to a slide show on architectural history.'' Mr. Rattner and Richard Wilson Cameron founded the institute five years ago; last year, it became affiliated with New York University.
Next weekend's program includes a workshop called ''Sculpting Classical Ornament,'' in which Rocco Leonardis, an artist and architect, will teach participants how to carve egg-and-dart moldings. In another workshop, Mr. Cameron will demonstrate the art of traditional wash renderings in India ink. On Saturday, participants can choose from lectures that include ''Town House Design in New York,'' ''Monumental Lettering and Inscriptions in New York'' and ''Rosario Candela: New York's Greatest Pre-War Apartment Designer.'' David Garrard Lowe will speak on ''Classical New York, Classical America: 1700 to the Present.''
Walking tours include visits to some of New York's magnificent private clubs. Registration is $95 for one day, $175 for two; students pay half. Saturday's events will be held at N.Y.U. Law School, 40 Washington Square South; Sunday's at N.Y.U.'s Real Estate Institute, 11 West 42d Street. To register, call Judith Lief at (718) 636-0788.

The Power of a Smile
It is early morning in Guatemala City. The sounds of church bells ringing and the echoes of children singing are coming from an orphanage. Their voices float above the walls that separate them from the violence and danger of the city.
This is Hogar Rafael Ayau, where IBO Alexia Johnson decided to make a pilgrimage to help the orphanage any way she could. At the time, three Orthodox Christian nuns, including Madre Ivonne, had been asked to take over the orphanage after it was discovered that the children there were being used as sex slaves.
It was with much hard work that a church, school, and the wall had all been built all to protect the children from the outside world.
"Here I learned the power of prayer and of God's love," says Alexia about the experience that changed her life.
As she helped clean the church and build a garden, she saw how simple things mattered so much to these children, who had so very little. It surprised her to learn that even zip lock bags were precious to them.
I learned that the simplest things can mean the world to people. – Alexia Johnson
Happy in spite of difficulties
In spite of their difficulties, "the children really seemed happy, even if their clothes didn't fit right," relates Alexia. "I noticed one boy had a rope holding up his pants instead of a belt, but things like that didn't seem to matter to them."
Alexia was able to help bring smiles to these children. She and a group of women volunteers took the older girls to buy them new clothes. On another day she was part of the group that took the younger children to the zoo.
The nuns wanted to move the children away from the loud, dangerous city, so they decided to build a new place in the mountains, overlooking a lake, near their monastery. And now the children are surrounded by peace and beauty, including a majestic domed church.
A work in progress
"This is a big project, still in progress, but the nuns have faith that God will provide," says Alexia, noting that her time at the orphanage made a long and lasting impact on her, especially, now that she has a baby herself. "The love for a child is so deep. I can only imagine how the nuns must feel for all of those children," she says. "They are so close they are like a family."
These children have so little, but they all smile, says Alexia. "And their smiles are so contagious, that you have to smile back. You can really change people's day, maybe even their world, if you just smile. It is so simple!"

Is the future of media a hologram, the people and Samsung think so?
Posted by Roy Weissman on September 16, 2015 · Leave a Comment
So if you haven't become aware, holograms have been appearing more and more of late as the technology gets refined. Holography or the use of holograms have caught the attention of techies and DIY'ers. Why? The first being it uses a smart phone and it's really easy to create. I found instructions of how in a wire magazine article recently published; You'll need a CD case, an x-acto knife, graph paper, tape, and a pen—then just follow these steps: 1) First, use the graph paper and pen to measure out a trapezoid that is one centimeter at the top, six centimeters on the bottom, and 3.5 centimeters at the sides. 2) Then using that trapezoid and the x-acto knife, cut out four identical trepezoids from the clear part of the CD case. 3) Create a pyramid by taping the 3.5cm sides together. And then you're done. Follow along with a tutorial video tutorial. Easy right! And now Samsung just patented for a smartphone screen that's capable of displaying objects in mid-air, in 3D. Is that right? Yes it is. Samsungs (jobs at Samsung) next phone the Galaxy S7 may be holographic, the patent was filed back in the second half of…

Rep. Vance McAllister Cancels Appearance, Ruston Mayoral Candidate Stands-In
Ruston, Louisiana -
RUSTON, LA -- Congressman Vance McAllister backs out of a local appearance, just one week after a video was leaked of him kissing a woman other than his wife.
North Central Louisiana Tea Party members in Ruston Monday evening were expecting Congressman McAllister to speak at their meeting, but just hours before the event organizers say he called to say he could not make it. McAllister told them he would be in family counseling all week.
"He was very apologetic. He was very personable. He said I really regret it that this thing has happened. He said, first things first right now is my family and getting everything worked out as best we can," says North Central Louisiana Tea Party leader Bob Flournoy.
Flournoy says Congressman McAllister did tell him he will not resign, because he does not want to leave the district without a representative.
The meeting did still go on as planned. Tea Party leaders and visitors heard from Ruston Mayoral Candidate Ronny Walker. The retired banker says economic development needs to be a focus in Ruston for the city to grow.
"When you've been through the process of developing properties and things like that, you kind of see what you think needs to be done. Instead of griping about things, I feel like we need to get in and be a part of the change," says Ruston Mayoral Candidate Ronny Walker.
Walker is the only person to announce candidacy for the mayoral seat in Ruston. Long-time Mayor Dan Hollingsworth announced last month he will not seek re-election. The election is set for November.

General spiritual concepts Main Page
Most spiritual and religious people have certain topics they take for granted and never examine. This section gives you the opportunity to take a look at certain ideas about faith, suffering and why the spirit or a true teacher will not conform to our expectations and desires.
This section contains articles on the following topics:
Faith, knowledge and prayer
- Jesus did not teach that faith is the substance of things hoped for. He taught that knowledge is the substance of things hoped for.
- He meant inner knowledge, gnosis, the true inner gnosis whereby the knower becomes one with the known.
- Jesus did not teach that you should pray to an external God.
- Jesus taught and demonstrated that you invoke God's assistance from within yourself.
- Many Christians have completely misunderstood Jesus' teaching on faith, and they have instead accepted the teachings of anti-christ.
- When you pray from a selfish desire, you create a counter-force that opposes the fulfillment of your desire.
Suffering is not necessary
- Many believe suffering is necessary.
- Suffering comes form attachments.
- We must follow Jesus' example and give up all our attachments, our "ghosts."
Understanding the Holy Spirit
- The Holy Spirit is the collective momentum of all who have walked the true Path of Oneness.
- Every time a Being ascends from earth, that Being adds its own momentum to the Holy Spirit.
- You must learn to discern between the Holy Spirit and the many false spirits that have been created.
Understanding why the Spirit will not conform to matter
- The purpose for the Holy Spirit is to challenge peoples' ideas, mental images and beliefs.
- The Holy Spirit has only one purpose; that is to initiate and accelerate the process of self-transcendence.
- Some Christians are open to false spirits.
Ponder why the Spirit will not conform
- No matter what level of consciousness you are at, the role of the Living Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, is to take you to the next step up.
- Be willing to think outside of the mental box created by your current level of consciousness.
- Jesus cannot help us if he conforms to our expectations and mental images.
- The satanic consciousness wants the Christ to conform to its expectations.

Layer 3 Multipoint WAN (MPLS)
MPLS that's reliable, scalable, flexible
Oxford Networks' MPLS offering (Multi-Protocol Labeling Switching) is a completely private, flexible IP based network solution. Layer 3 WAN (MPLS) combines the communications flexibility of the Internet with the inherent security and quality of traditional private line data communications.
The major benefit of a Layer 3 WAN (MPLS) service is the ability to offer different performance levels and prioritization based upon the type of traffic entering the network. This means delay-sensitive applications such as VoIP, video, Citrix, SAP or Oracle takes priority over traditional non-delay-sensitive data.
Our service is provided via Oxford Networks' state-of-the-art, 10-Gigabit IP network. Port speeds are based upon customer requirements starting at 384Kbps and can be increased up to 5 Gigabits. Oxford Networks' Layer 3 WAN (MPLS) network combines all the attributes a network should offer — security, reliability, scalability and flexibility — to provide a dynamic solution for your organization. Public IP security threats are minimized, since our network does not traverse the Internet.
Why use MPLS?
Oxford Networks' MPLS solution is an efficient, secure and cost-effective way to transmit your digital information from any location on your network to other locations. Our growing FTTP network is positioned to meet your current and evolving network requirements including the emerging service demands such as VOIP and video. We can deliver these services to you via Intranet or Extranet.
The Layer 3 WAN connection creates a virtual private connection between all your locations allowing you to exchange any type of information, data, voice or video with packet prioritization as desired, eliminating the costly hub and spoke network topology of old. MPLS provides a cost-effective, secure and reliable communications infrastructure between all of your locations.
- State-of-the-art IP network, 9 Nodes within Maine
- All of your sites are connected via our secure, private network
- Optimize the performance of time-sensitive traffic like VOIP, video or business critical applications

The winter of 2013-14 will go down as one of much snow and record-setting low temperatures. Friday afternoon, Valentine's Day, found us being covered up with the most beautiful snow. While we have had previous pretty snows, this one shrouded our entire property in a stunning veil of large lacy snowflakes.
I'm not one to complain much about the weather. I find I am quite content watching the Olympics, sewing, reading, cooking or baking, and generally just puttering around the house. We have two birdfeeders that provide no end of enjoyment watching the ever-growing flock of birds that frequent them. We counted over a dozen male cardinals yesterday! Twelve! They are beautiful pops of red against the pine trees and snow.
We were housebound this past weekend, as we didn't trust the car to get us out the driveway without getting stuck. I will try getting out later this morning as I must go to OU-C for my Monday classes.The man we called to plow our lane never showed up, so it might be tricky!
I spent much of the weekend sewing. I've caught up on the Wishes quilt along and the Tell It To The Stars quilt along. I will show you these new blocks in coming posts. I have also finished tacking down the binding on Broken Dishes, and it is now ready to gift to DD1 this coming Saturday at the bridal shower. Finally, I made some significant progress on a t-shirt quilt that I've been commissioned to make. My second one! I would like to make quick work of it, and get if off my plate well before the intensity of the wedding begins to take over.
Happy Quilting, Friends!

Honfleur : Saint James wool sweater
effet-mer.fr recommends the round neck sweater for women. Honfleur Saint James is a garment using the GEMINI SYSTEM procès. This pullover has an outer face 100% Pure Virgin Wool and an inner face 100% emerized cotton. By wearing this sweater, you feel a sense of second skin, thanks to its fine and soft stitch. This item from the new collection has a yoke in striped carded cotton (ecru/navy) on the shoulders. The cuffs is split on the side. To make a call with this striped yoke, St James has designed this sweater with striped sleeve cuffs. St James has designed this item in navy. The inscription "Saint James L'Atelier depuis 1889, made in France" is on the label in contrasting fabric sewn into the neck bezel. The length of the collar stand is on average of 55 cm.

2012 (2009)
Go into this film with the right expectations and enjoy it for what it is. Very entertaining.
I was unsure of what to expect with this movie and so, prior to watching this film, I visited IMDb and read several reviews and message board comments to find out what to expect. I must thank all the IMDb users who have contributed comments for this movie because it really did the trick for me. My expectations were realistically set and this and allowed me to really enjoy the film for what it was.
I quickly realised that the best attitude to approach the film was to try to disengage the analytical, thinking part of the brain and not to expect a serious, plausible story. Instead, I decided to just expect plenty of great, non-stop action interspersed with a typical set of cheesy emotional scenes as the disaster starts to unfold and a typically clichéd set of characters. This is exactly what I got and with my expectations appropriately set, I really enjoyed the film.
In the first 5 minutes, during the explanation of the impending disaster by the scientists, when the following line was spoken, I realised that I was right not to engage the more intellectual parts of my brain (approximate quote)...
"It looks as if the neutrinos have mutated into some other sort of (far more aggressive) sub-atomic particle (that will melt the crust, etc, etc)."
Let's face it; you don't have to be Einstein to have issues with that kind of scientific claim! Anyway, the action kicked in pretty soon into the film, and I have to say that the actions scenes truly were brilliantly done. They were probably the best, most impressive action scenes I have ever seen in a film. I was really astounded by the first car chase scene as the film's main characters were rushing from their home to the first small plane in order to escape, and all the flight scenes were truly fantastic. The action scenes did not dip in standard throughout the film - it was real edge of the seat stuff and was highly entertaining.
Interspersed with the action, there was the typical set of cheesy disaster movie type clichés to sit through as people started to realise the desperate situation they were all in, but even these could be tolerated with some amusement if approached in the right frame of mind and viewed light-heartedly. I am talking of course about the liberal smattering of emotional, tear-filled phone calls from sons/daughters to fathers/mothers, etc, when they all know that they will soon be toast, the untimely deaths of selected lovable characters (but not the heroes of course!), the self-sacrifice of the US president (we've seen this before, and let's face it, in reality he'd have been the first on that plane!), the numerous near misses e.g. cracks on the runway following the plane just a few feet behind! There was also the inclusion of the rather over-used scenario of an estranged but good, loving, if somewhat unreliable Dad competing for the attentions of his ex-wife and children with the very reliable but geeky step-Dad. It is pretty obvious from the start that the Dad is going to win out in the end, and this is very conveniently effected when the step-Dad is eliminated in rather gory circumstances! At least the step-Dad was given a semi-nice character, was given some good action scenes and kind of made friends with the Dad before his untimely demise instead of being portrayed as and out and out sleaze ball, as usually happens in this type of film!
To conclude, I would say that realistic expectations and frame of mind are the keys to enjoying this film. Do not expect too much of the science to really add up or for the plot to be genuinely plausible. Do not expect to be intellectually challenged by the script or the plot. Instead, expect a lot of amusing cheesiness in the script, plenty of clichés and above all expect to enjoy some truly first class action. If you go in with this attitude you won't be disappointed. If anything, the film could have been 20 minutes or so shorter, but in general I really enjoyed it for what it was. Setting my expectations was so vital to this. There are a lot of parallels to Independence Day with this film, but I enjoyed this film 10 times more simply because my expectations and mind-set were far more appropriately, realistically set before the film started.

Brighton Sea Life Centre need help saving sharks
The Brighton Sea Life Centre is appealing for people to help them prevent the slaughter of endangered sharks on the other side of the world.
The Brighton Sea Life Centre is appealing for people to help them prevent the slaughter of endangered sharks on the other side of the world.
Staff at the Brighton Sea Life Centre are outraged at plans in Australia to cull sharks, in an attempt to improve safety for beach goers.
The Government of Western Australia has announced the multi-million dollar plan, which includes setting baited hooks off beaches around Perth.
After seven fatal shark attacks in three years, the cull has not gone down well around the world.
The curator at the Sea Life Centre, Carey Duckhouse said:
Apart from the fact that many shark species are already on the brink of extinction due to over fishing and decades of persecution, the proposed solution to Perth's shark-attack problem is more likely to exacerbate than to solve it.
They want to attach lines and baited hooks to drums a mile off-shore and pay commercial fishermen to patrol them and kill any captured shark over three metres long.
That could include Great Whites, which are a protected species and in sharp decline, as well as species like Tiger and Bull sharks.
Anyone who would like to register their opposition to the proposed cull can do so by clicking here.

Pure being is so indeterminate that it is not even being and so is nothing. This is the basic Hegelian idea at the beginning of the Science of Logic.
To achieve a correct understanding of this equation of pure being and nothing, we need to carefully screen out properties that are indeterminate in the sense of not distinguishing between determinate beings. If everything were necessarily spatiotemporally located, for example, then being spatiotemporally located would be an indeterminate property in this sense. Yet something spatiotemporally located is not nothing, so we must be careful not to suppose that that the equation of pure being and nothing rests on indeterminacy of this sort.
Supposing we do this, what is left of the concept of pure being? If we take away all the indeterminate properties, as well as all the determinate ones, then we don't have a subject of predication at all, and that would seem equivalent to nothing. This strikes me as basically correct. Again, if we still have some indeterminate properties, e.g. self-identity, then we have arguably not done enough to purify the concept of pure being. At any rate, we have not done enough to destroy any means of distinguishing it from nothing. However, if we are removing every difference between being and nothingness, then what is the barrier to accepting their identity, since it seems to be just a semantic matter at this point?
The issue with Hegel here might just be, in one sense at least, a matter of emphasis: we can't say that there is no concept of nothing, nor can we reason that the concept of pure being, truly purified of any determination, is inadequate to the concept of nothing. Why would it be inadequate? The interchangeably of pure being and nothing is strictly symmetrical.

Looking good! A minor nit - you might consider making the damage more asymmetrical; omit the port wing damage, omit the starboard nacelle damage.
Seriously? This is a Klingon ship, right? I think there should be dirty boot prints, and maybe the scorched outline of a dead guy. It's a beautiful job!
UPDATE... It's time to go back to the Museum. I'm gona completely redo the textures for the D2 and I started with the neck. So far it's still little rough.
UPDATE... Added a few little things to the textures like grime. Here you can see I have a small seam. I fixed a bit of it but there still is more that needs fixing. Right now it's good enough. I may tone things down a bit but I want to get more of the ship done before I decide on that.
UPDATE... I forgot I also had the Powhatan ready for textures so I did the first pass. The star ts temp for now.
Klingon hull maintenance practice seems a little ego-focused. Depending on how that marring of the hull happened, they might prefer to leave well enough alone. "Battle scars", right?
That's gonna be redone so it will not be symmetrical. UPDATE... Well I got kinda of bored unwrapping the Powhatan and the D2 so I thought I'd start to rough together the Deadalus.
Thank you. UPDATE... I've gotten more work done on the engines. I added grid lines that I'm actually happy with and a few other details. Just some minor things to add Reaction Control Thrusters.
UPDATE... So far I've got most of the textures done for the one warp engine. Right now it's clean but won't be for much longer.

Lasts long, Easy clean up, Don't need to use a lot.
