Bladensburg Peace Cross the latest target of Humanists
The Humanists are at it again, this time offended by a peace cross that has stood in its current location since 1925. Fox DC reports:
The emblem in the middle of the cross is actually the American Legion emblem. We're the ones who actually put it up. And there were a few reports in the news that quoted local legionnaires. From the Hyattsville Newspaper:
According to Dane Weber, club manager at the Colmar Manor American Legion, the cross was maintained by a Hyattsville American Legion post until 1957 when the Prince George's County Circuit Court transferred it to the state of Maryland, which then handed it off to the M-NCPPC to administer.
Weber has lived just about all of his life in Colmar Manor, except for his service in Vietnam. He served as a door gunner on Army helicopters between 1967 and and 1969. During that time, Weber said he participated in some of the bloodiest conflicts of the war, including the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Saigon.
Twice a year, Weber's group attends memorial services at the Peace Cross. He doesn't understand why the AHA has singled out the Bladensburg memorial.
"Get a life. Do something. Why pick on the veterans? Probably the majority of them have never been in the service, or if they were they weren't on the front lines" said Weber....
"All crosses are not necessarily about God," said Weber. "You find a lot of cemeteries, especially in Europe for World War II, and they put crosses on them, just to honor the people who died there."
Personally, I don't think the Humanists on this one are going to do well. The facts in this case are probably as good as we will ever see in one of these cross cases. I suspect the court will rely heavily on the Van Orden v. Perry decision from the Supreme Court that factored in a sort of "historicity" of the monument. This thing has been up since 1925, it's not as if some vengeful Christian erected it last Tuesday just to anger the Humanists.
We'll be filing an amicus brief on this case as well, since we clearly have an interest in it. We'll have more in the future.

It's shameful that these people want to tear down the memorials to those who have served when many paid for the freedoms these people enjoy today with their lives. As a member of the American Legion and DAV I support keeping these memorials intact so that we can remember these sacrifices.

Church and state are to remain separate. Just because something has been up for a long time does not make it any more legal. This is not an attack on the Christianity. This is the enforcement of the establishment clause. This monument can be identified that the government endorses one religion over another. If it is to remain up the area should be deemed a "free speech zone' In which either ALL religions (or lack of) can be represented by allowing any of their monuments to be placed on the same land of that location or NONE that represent one religion over another. This is not a theocracy.

Re: Cross
This is NOT about the state establishing or endorsing a particular religion. It is a monument to those who sacrificed for this country LONG before all this 'political correctness.' I am sure that not all of these individuals were Christian, but that doesn't make it any less of a tribute to them also. I would not be offended if a Star of David, Crescent or any other religious symbol were added. I've been to military cemeteries in France and in the Philippines. I've seen more than just crosses. The point is, however, the state is not to ESTABLISH a 'national' church, such as the Church of England. THAT is what the Constitution spells out. You are correct! This is NOT a Theocracy. I am not 'offended' by the presence of this cross, nor should anyone else be.

I strongly encourage all my friends and other veterans to speak their minds! Tell me their opinions. Often they disagree. But at no time do I feel that if I disagree with their opinion that I'm somehow superior or that I have a "right" to insult them. As Veterans, don't we deserve at least that small level of common courtesy? That respect?

Separation of Church and State
Many seem to have totally missed the point/intention of the separation of church and state powers. This concept originated as an insurance that the government would not be able to interfere in the operation of any church, synagogue, or mosque. It absolutely did not mean running the government without religious beliefs. It came about because of England starting its own, government controlled church under the rule of Henry VIII. Learn from history or be condemned to repeat it.

Establishment clause
Hey Joe Chavez, there is nothing in the constitution or any amendment about separation of church and state. If you tell a lie long enough stupid people like you believe it. The term "separation of church and state" was used in a letter from Jefferson to a preacher in New England. Supreme Court Justice Black used the term in the 1930s in a court ruling. The liberals and communists took the phrase and ran with it. Google establishment clause and you see the truth and the truth will set you free.

cross symbols
Amen! A humanist is a person, place, or thing. If it be particular it would be capitalized. The cross is a symbol of many things. It offends humanists like getting thumped on the back of their knuckles with a ruler. Capitalize the cross and it might be a religious symbol. It is no wonder even a Nativity scene worries humanists. It is a reminder of what Christmas is really about. Humanists like holidays and happiness. But throw in "God", that makes them unhappy. The cross is a reminder to remember anything or anyone for which it stands.

I agree- The Memorial needs to stand. What I don't agree with is Mr. Weber's statement, " probably the majority of them (protesters) have never been in the service or if they were, they weren't on the front lines." So, if you weren't on the front lines, you aren't a veteran or you don't understand the significance of the memorial?? I feel that Mr. Weber should not be lumping those of us who served, but were not in combat into the same category as the protestors he describes. All veterans need to stick together to work for common goals.

The first amendment prohibits the state from the establishment of religion, this veteran memorial has nothing to do with the establishment of religion but is clearly a memorial to honor those who have served their nation and laid their lives down to defend the constitution and America. Our courts have defiled the Constitution with their political correct views prohibiting the free exercise thereof, as the memorial is not a state constructed memorial but rather American's honoring their veterans.

I am not religious. I was infantry in Vietnam. Some people became more religious due to being shot at. I saw more than I wanted too. It made me less religious. Not that this is relevant, but just to let you know where I'm coming from.
Separation of church and state. I agree. The Constitution gives that right. This country was mainly of a religion that used the cross. I wouldn't suggest Israel should take down all their Stars of David, nor the Muslims, Buddhists, etc in their countries take theirs down. If someone in this country doesn't like a cross, too bad. If someone doesn't like some other religious symbol, too bad.
People have a right to their beliefs. If a religious symbol has been around a long time, leave it alone! Maybe in 50 or 100 years we may, or may not want to change things if religion has taken a different turn, although, not likely. Keep your selfish attitudes to yourself. It's a cross. Not a loaded machine gun. Don't be so damn petty!

I thank the Lord every day that my parents had the courage, wisdom and desire to come over from Italy in 1960 to this great country of ours. When we arrived we did not set out on a campaign to change the U.S.A but to accept it's ways, customs and freedoms. While not totally giving up spaghetti we learned to eat the new foods hot dogs, hamburgers and pancakes. In sports I was raised to play soccer but boy did I love going to Yankee stadium. Why don't these Humanist's just relax and learn to accept the great history and culture of the U.S.A Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't this country founded and established on Christian principles. Being an Italian immigrant one thing I know and believe in is the old saying when your in Rome do as the Romans do. If these people (so called humanists/enthusiasts) don't like it than leave.

Everyone has something they do not like but certainly do not go trying to destroy it. Live and let live. I thank all the veterans and their families for their sacrifices. Without them we would not be a free country today and these protesters would be in jail at the very least.

Bladensburg Peace Cross
The cross has been standing since 1925. And now in 2014, somebody is "offended". Just like the liberals tell the rest of us when we don't like the garbage on TV or radio, Don't look at it." The first Amendment guarrantees the right to religious freedom, not the right to no religious freedom, The government is NOT establishing any religion because there is a cross in a cemetery. Just because the cross is there, the government is NOT requiring everyone to be a Christian, it is NOT requiring everyone to practice Christianity to the exclusion of their own faith. The cross has been used by many people of differnt faiths to mark a gravesite. It has almost become a generic symbol for many, just as Saint Nicholas has been transformed into the secular Santa Claus for many people.

I ask humbly God almighty what is happening to decency of my country and our values I'm upset that something that ridiculous could even be suggested. Our beautiful country of values and brave men was founded on principles that have led our country to be blessed but lately we have turn away from our founding belief and gone against our own.

Defending the cross
I suspect that if we surrounded the cross with a handful of vets and told those that wanted it down to come on and take it. My suspicion is that none of the would show up. This is part of the leftist element's desire to take morality and ethics out of our culture. I guess that there just isn't enough crime in that country for them.

What is wrong with people? Why is it the atheist's and a very small group of haters are always complaining about anything that really does not concern them. They need to start putting their energy into something to make America better instead of trying to tear it down. If they hate GOD that is their choice. Why can't the people that believe in GOD have any choice in anything the haters don't like? They took all religion out of the schools and now look at our children. They took religion out of Washington and now look at our Politicians. I'll bet all of the Veterans that died to preserve freedom are spinning in their graves with what is happening in America now.

I am a Viet vet and do not see anything wrong with honoring the vets of the greatest generation. Those men suffered some of the greatest atrocities ever devised by men. They were hit wit poison gases that, if they did not die right away, then they lifted a life of hell the rest of their years. We live in freedom now because of their sacrifices. The humanists see a cross and it makes them think of the Cross of Christ which they are trying so hard to escape from. I do not see anything being said about removing any and all signs of Islam from public places. I agree that if these people do not like America and what she stands for they need to go where they can agree with those people's agendas.

We've All Bled For This Country
After reading the article presented here, and the adjoining comments, I must say that, as a person tolerant and respectful of other religious and points of viewed, I'm a bit ashamed at this point to be a Legionnaire, and perhaps an American. Although it's true that the removal or relocation of this monument is a debate, the author of this article presents a one-sided, extremely biased write-up of the argument, which all but stereotypes and demonizes Humanists.
I have to wonder what the secular supporters of this monument would say if it were in the shape of another religion's symbol. The name-calling, accusations, hyperbole, and comparisons made in the comments have definitely soured my view. I'm not sure this is the organization my grandfather helped to build. I'm not sure if it's the organization for me.

OK, I guess I am confused now. This is a blog of the American Legion and I represent them. I'm not CNN or ABC news. My job is to argue for our positions. If I am not biased, towards veterans and the point of view of The American Legion that pays me, what should I be saying?
But for the sake of your strawman argument. The Dalai Llama is doing the Senate invocation this week. Have you seen throngs of Legionnaires protesting that? So what is the basis for claiming that we would argue against a veterans memorial that was in the shape of another religious symbol? In fact, I've attended function that had jewish symbols and didn't get upset about it.
In what way did I stereotype and demonize Humanists? I disagree with them, and in particular with their reading of the US Constitution. There were many people in law school I disagreed with as well. Some of them might have been Christian, Buddhist or Pastafarians. Disagreeing about a Constitutional argument doesn't seem exactly a horrible thing.

It's as if they lack the courage of their own convictions and are afraid of it. We are a country where the majority rules not the other way around.

Without the Cross there would be no America. Do to the politically correct times of today the humanist may be granted by the court to have the Cross, Ten Commandments, and the Bible remove from all public places, but we all will have to appear before God to give an account. There will come a time when even God will say enough.

Peace Cross Compromise?
"On May 29, [1919], ten thousand World War I Jewish veterans paraded in New York City to
protest the pogroms against Jews in Poland, Rumania and Galicia."
- from the JWV WebSite
How many didn't parade because they couldn't walk; how many could no longer breathe? Is
"Peace Cross - a WWI Memorial" to the Jewish survivors and fallen?
And, we'll never know how many Native Americans who were not Christians served our Republic in that conflict, too. Is it posssible that The American Legion could offer to move that cross to an appropriate and respectful Christian site, and replace it with a memorial to all of the fallen? I'm willing to contribute to that. Heck, we might even get the opposing litigants to pony
up part of the cost.
We all served because we are patriotic. Maybe there's a bette way to make this monument on public land contitutional.

We all have the power of our purse
The American Humanist Association advocates progressive values and equality for humanists, atheists, freethinkers, and the non-religious. So, basically, they don't believe in anything that has any religious connection be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and etc. They do have their First Amendment Rights and we must honor that. That said, however, we American Believers also have rights and it is time we start exercising those rights. We have the right to do business with whom we please. When humanists, atheists, freethinkers, and the non-religious insult us we have the right to not do business with them. In every community across this great GOD fearing country the humanists, atheists, freethinkers, and non-religious should stand up and let us all see their faces and hear their names. Then GOD fearing citizens can exercise their right to not do business with them. Do they stand up? Do they show their faces? Do we know their names? I think not! They are cowards! So my fellow GOD fearing citizens, identify the humanists, atheists, freethinkers, and non-religious and by word of mouth let us all know who they are so that we might exercise our GOD given right to not do business with them.

So we come to Aussie swimwear label We Are Handsome and I'm confronted by blindingly cool prints that demand to be sun-drenched in cuts that are indeed 'hot', 'fit' and 'sexaaaaaaaay' (that's with no less than eight 'a's there…). I actually didn't see their swimsuit efforts in Sydney but instead I was introduced to them here, where we've luckily had just about the right amount of sun to warrant wearing them. Though that said, even on a murky day, surely a stallion galloping across the tummy, a balloon floating up the breasts and flamingoes walking across your err… nether region is just what you need to transport you somewhere else. In fact, the whole S/S 11 collection by We Are Handsome is really all about those cheesy postcard moments… Los Angeles at dusk, Yosemite Park, cruising in Miami, Hollywood stars, moonlit Savannah, green Bordeaux and some bonus roars from Africa/Amazon in the form of a lioness and a panther.
Seeing as I already reached the levels of ridiculousness by 'fashing' up a wetsuit, taking these onesies which come in zip-up, bandeau, scoop-back and bodysuit one-piece styles only means they're ripe for the picking in outfit composition. It would be a 'crying shame' (I notice I say this antiquated phrase a lot too… and people say I sound distinctly Victorian when I do…) if they were merely restricted to the beach or in fact, sunny climates, though there's no denying the sun really does pick up the sheen of these postcard printed suits…

text: Nutrition in the Elderly: Food for Thought Nutrition in the Elderly: Food for Thought Teaser: Taking a 'stroll' through a geriatric unit, either in acute care or rehabilitation, one is struck by how many of the patients seem undernourished. This highlights the need for clinical dietitians as part of the multidisciplinary team required for effective geriatric care. Thankfully, most elderly people are not admitted to a geriatric unit, and their dietary issues are more similar to those facing the population at large. Clearly, it is much better to eat in a healthy manner to prevent functional decline than it is to engage in heroic 'salvage' operations when catastrophic illness strikes (see the article 'Supporting seniors to age well with healthy eating' in this edition). However, the biggest issue facing most Western populations is not under nutrition, but rather excess weight. Should the same guidelines for overweight apply to those over 65 as have been developed in middle-aged populations? I am somewhat comforted, as I note my expanding waistline, by an article in last year's Archives of Internal Medicine1 that suggests modest degrees of overweight (BMI 25-27) in the elderly do not increase cardiac and all cause mortality (although frank obesity does). Even more interesting than total energy intake, is the content of the diet. Clearly elderly patients can suffer from specific nutritional deficiencies, such as Vitamin D or zinc (see article in this issue 'Zinc Deficiency in older adults' by AlAteequi and Allard). However, healthy people of all ages are thinking beyond simple dietary deficiency and wondering about the optimal dietary intake. In the current jargon, you are what you eat. This edition contains an article on diet and prostate disease and, of interest to both men and women, one on the relationship of Vitamin E to dementia (see article by Basran and Hogan in this edition). We usually think of vitamin E as a possible treatment of Alzheimer disease, but the antioxidant actions of vitamin E have long been postulated to be of benefit to the aging brain even before dementia occurs. Two recent studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association provide some evidence for the protective effects of vitamin E (and perhaps vitamin C).2,3 Of course, epidemiological studies do not prove cause and effect; rather, they suggest appropriate directions for future treatment studies. What I found interesting is that while in both of these studies the relative risk of dementia was decreased by high dietary vitamin E (and in the first study, but not the second, high dietary vitamin C), supplements of vitamin E seemed to have no benefit. Why might this be? The most obvious answer is that those who take Vitamin E supplements are different from those who do not; specifically, they might choose to take vitamin E when they detect early memory problems that predict future dementia. As well, vitamin E has only become popular as a supplement recently; thus, those who take their vitamin E as a supplement might not have had as long an exposure to its benefits as have those with a life-long, high dietary intake. It might also be that vitamin E is simply a surrogate for another dietary constituent that is actually of benefit. The fact that the two studies are discordant in their results with vitamin C is also cause for concern. Regardless of the true relationship between vitamin E and dementia, there is no doubt that this edition of Geriatrics and Aging will provide a great deal of 'food for thought'.

Two prize Italian seaports—Leghorn on the Tyrrhenian Sea and Ancona on the Adriatic—were captured by the Allies yesterday.
American Fifth Army troops took Leghorn, third largest port in Italy, without major opposition in the city itself after one of the stiffest fights in the campaign, while a Polish force of the Eighth Army took Ancona following a 75-mile advance in the last fortnight through a mountainous region.
With the Eighth Army's capture of Montevarchi, about 24 miles southeast of Florence in the central sector, possession of the two port cities gave the Allied armies along the entire 130-mile length of the front a triple-threat shot at Kesselring's Gothic Line along the north banks of the Arno River.
Leghorn was reported to be more seriously smashed even than Naples. Its port installations, which in pre-war days handled upwards of 9,000 tons of shipping a day, were virtually destroyed. What was not damaged by Allied bombing was wrecked by the Germans before they abandoned it. The bridges that link Leghorn and the mainland also were destroyed.
With a population of well over 100,000, Leghorn has one of the biggest ship-building yards in Italy.
The Germans also carried out extensive demolition of Ancona's harbor installations. Work of repairing the port has already begun. Polish spearheads beyond Ancona had reached the Adriatic coast three miles west of the city and were reported within two miles of the river Esino.
Morocco Radio reported that the administration of Rome and the Rome area would be taken over by the Italian government on Aug, 15, after Col. Charles Poletti, the U.S. administrator, moved to newly-liberated regions.

Finally, a much longed for experience has been crossed off my foodie wish-list: I have finally sampled the vegetarian fish-flavoured eggplant at Dainty Sichuan! Indeed, it was my first visit to Dainty Sichuan entirely.
Jen and I were so keen to get stuck into some eggplant action that we actually showed up to their Toorak Road location before it had even officially opened for the day. Oops! Never mind, five or so minutes of loitering on their doorstep later, we were let in and sat ourselves down as the first customers of the day.
The decor at Dainty is a little rough around the edges, and the tinny orchestral arrangements of 60s pop tunes being piped through leaves a bit to be desired. I'd heard plenty of stories about the waitstaff being brusque, but ours were perfectly fine, if impersonal.
To the food! To start with we had garlic cucumber – sticks of cold cucumber graced with a very simple, slightly warm, minced garlic sauce. This is the sort of dish that I could happily gobble away at every day, the cool crispness of the cucumber contrasting beautifully with the fresh, comforting garlic sauce. This involves A LOT of garlic though, so not a dish to order if you're on a saucy date, as you will be living in Stinktown afterwards.
Next was the mushroom threads served with a dome of white rice. This was a reasonably plain dish (I assume it's more often ordered as a leavener against some of the more chilli-drenched dishes) but I'm such a happy mushroom fan that I was quite contented with it. If you like the sound of lightly stir-fried mushroom lengths with a light soy sauce that you can moosh around with rice, this for you.
We had to wait a bit for the fabled eggplant to reach the table (we'd nearly finished our first pot of chrysanthemum tea!). The eggplant is cut into wedges, basted in sweet, chilli-ish sauce, and fried. Fresh out of the fryer, the eggplant is molten, soft and delicious – although I'm still not sure what it is exactly that makes it "fish-flavoured". It does seem to be the type of dish you should order and eat first, though – having already filled ourselves with cucumber and mushrooms, we were already struggling a little, and once the eggplant starts to cool the wedges start getting soggy and stick to each other. The flavour build up also gets very sweet after a few pieces, there not being as much chilli heat involved as you might expect to balance out the sweet. From reading other blog posts about the dish, it seems as if it's best enjoyed shared among a big group, so you can devour a few pieces each when it's still nice and hot and at optimum tastiness. Shared between two (who are already a bit stuffed) it does tend to outstay its welcome.
My first Dainty experience wasn't awe-inspiring, but nor was it a disappointment. I'd really like to go back and explore the menu a bit further; I had my eye on a black fungus and chilli dish, and in general I'd like to find out whether there are more vegetarian dishes that employ scads of chilli so I can have more of a fiery flavour experience. There's also their new outpost in Box Hill that is devoted to hotpot that has definitely made me keen for more Sichuan food times. It may not quite meet the hype, but Dainty Sichuan definitely deserves it's well-known place on Melbourne's culinary map.

Eve's Problem
I'm almost done with the trial, and came within a hair's breadth of quitting again. In fact with a couple days left it's still a possibility. This time, however, a serendipitous occurrence brought light to what I think is Eve's problem – the reason I keep quitting. And ironically, the reason I may finally scrounge up the coins to pay for membership.
Let me start with the problem. Eve is a good sandbox MMO. A really, really good sandbox MMO. The vast majority of 'things that happen' are player driven. The fights, the events, the economy, pretty much everything is the result of player actions.
The thing is, making these player actions happen require involvement. If you're not involved everything just sort of passes you by.
If you're going to play Eve you sort of have to immerse yourself. It's necessary to spend hours moving and fighting, even if you do not follow the recommendation of joining a corporation (guild for the non-eve players. A group of other players who more-or-less help you and do things with you.)
You cannot be a casual EVE player – a player who just logs in a couple of hours a week. Or at least it's very, very difficult. And that's the problem, I think, that Eve has with retaining new players.
On the other hand it's extremely immersive IF you give it the time and effort. Even if you're the other type of casual player – the player who doesn't really have major objectives, who just wants to play some shoot-em-up in space and maybe visit with a few friends, but who does this a couple of hours a night every couple of days, or spends most of one day out of the weekend, or some other version that winds up doing eight or more hours a week.
The reason I'm chasing this particular dog is not just my perennial addiction to the EVE trial. I'm also interested in what makes games work. And since CCP's in another 'how do we keep all these new players playing' kick, it's worth looking again.
I said I serendipitously found a reason to stay. And speaking as one of the casual-meaning-once in a while players, I thought I'd share. Knowing that the reasons are almost anathema to long-term players.
For me, it's "let's go see the sights." I wandered to Eve Gate, and it was surprisingly moving.
Eve Gate is, in the context of the Eve Online universe, the starting point. It's where mankind arrived from Earth, the route of constant traffic until /something/ happened and the gate closed. There's still this massive, unstable, and unusable wormhole there, a god's blind eye staring at this morass of humanity. And there are dozens of little monuments, anchored cargo boxes labeled to provide epitaphs inane and profound. At which point I went, "Hey, I wonder what else is there?" No, not really – I already know /of/ several things. I just never before had the itch to go looking.
And that gives me my suggestion for CCP of how to get people like me. Give us a hint of goals that do NOT require hours of investment. Something that lets us get something even with only a small handful of hours a week. I'm going to suggest that probably most of us will expand once we're in. It's the cliff of commitment that is daunting.
Does it need an 'achievement' – a label that says "I did this"? Me, I suggest yes. It can sit with all the other certificates and job histories. It doesn't have to be public, though the option might be a hook for some.
But the majority of those EVE loses are, I suspect, the people who like the idea of flying through space but don't want to invest themselves in a part-time second job to do so. So if CCP wants to keep them it's going to have to think about those rewards, at least for the 'young' pilots of the game.

Weisler On The HP Innovation Offensive
HP CEO Dion Weisler says the company's two consecutive quarters of sales growth for PCs and printers is being driven by a no-holds-barred focus on innovation.
That innovation offensive has led to what Weisler calls the "flat-out" best product portfolio in the company's history. That led to a 12 percent increase in sales in the PC business and a 6 percent increase in sales in the printer business in the most recent quarter.
"I think what is most impressive about it is it is off the back of incredible products and innovations," Weisler told CRN. "That is what makes me the most confident. There is no sort of one-quarter magic pill here."
"Reinvent" is the theme for HP's World Partner Forum being held in Chicago from Sept. 11-13. "The channel is undergoing a reinvention all its own and we need to be a partner that enables that, whether it is through training and teaching them how to sell solutions or providing a platform for them."

I personally believe that ANet have set out to humiliate me. Back in April I said on my my wildly successful (and still often hit) Sylvari redesign post that:
Stupid ANet, making me look like an IDIOT."I think it's because they've got this whole schedule set out for when they want to reveal information. They know that the two things people are most eager to see are the final adventurer class and the Sylvari. So they will do the adventurer class reveal last, and Sylvari week will come after Asura and Charr week."
Nonetheless, I'm excited about seeing where they've actually taken the race. The week will be punctuated by my typical coverage; like I did for Charr Week, Norn Week and Human Week. So - keep a look out for when that hits!
In Guild Wars 1 news: I've finally hit survivor! Woooo! Now I can die all I want - isn't that what everyone wants, really?
So, now it is just the simple matter of making money to buy booze and party points. And what better way to mark this milestone than some new threads:
|It's me, btw, I'm fabulous.

There's nothing more frustrating to me than trying to use something that is supposed to work, yet, it doesn't. It's like getting into a brand new Chevy Truck, cranking the engine, putting it into drive and then hitting the gas….and it goes backwards.
Well, I've encountered this while using Mozilla's Thunderbird as my mail client. The issue I'm having is with the "Save All" button when trying to save multiple attachments.
The Issue with the "Save All" attachments button
So here's the issue, when I receive an email with one attachment, I can click the save button in the bottom right corner and BAM, it saves the attachment. No problems!
However, when I receive an email with multiple attachments and click on the "Save All" button, it opens a window asking me to select the folder to save the attachments to. Normal, right? Well, when I select the folder and click on the button that reads "Select Folder," it creates an error that reads "Unable to save the attachment. Please check your file name and try again later."
So, for the last few weeks, I had been selecting "Open All" and then saving the attachments from there, one at a time. Sucky!
The Solution for the "Save All" error
I've found a solution. Well, at least until Thunderbird sends out an update to fix this cool little bug. Here's the solution….
When you click on the "Save All" button, a box will open asking you to select a folder. Select the folder you wish to save the attachments to. When you do this, it will add that folders name into the input field in the window. Simply delete the folders name and click "select folder."
Done! It should save all of your attachments to that folder.
Again, just an easy fix for a bug which will hopefully be taken care of in the next Thunderbird update!

It has already been revealed that Shell was moving the drilling rig from Alaska to Seattle, Washington to avoid about $6 million in property taxes that would be due on January 1st. Read more on the grounding at Climate IMC: Grounding of Shell drilling platform highlights dangers of Arctic Oil Drilling
There are approximately 143,000 gallons of diesel and 12,000 gallons of hydraulic oil on board the Kulluk, an aging drill rig built in 1983. Weighing almost 28,000 tonnes, the rig had been due for scrapping before Shell bought it in 2005 and the company has since spent $292 million to upgrade the vessel.
At a press conference on January 3 (transcript), Sean Churchfield, the Incident Commander and the Operations Manager for Shell Alaska outlined the results of that initial salvage assessment:
"Today, we can confirm that the Kulluk remains upright and stable and there is no evidence of sheen in the vicinity," he said.
"Yesterday's assessment by the five-person team on board the Kulluk provided valuable information that is being used for recovery planning. Findings include: some wave damage to the topsides of the vessel, but a number of water-tight hatches have been breached causing water damage inside and the team has secured some of the open hatches. And that the emergency and service generators have been damaged. An Emergency Towing System has been placed on the deck. Specialized salvage equipment has been ordered and is en route."
The Kulluk ran aground near the Kodiak Island National Wildlife Refuge, where any spill would have terrible impacts on local wildlife. The area is home to at least two endangered species, as well as harbor seals, salmon and sea lions.
After the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster, the fear on everyone's mind is of a substantial oil or diesel leak. To allay those fears Churchfield stated in the press conference, "Oil spill response equipment continues to be deployed as a contingency. Staging areas are being established in Seward, Kodiak and Old Harbor. Vessel-based response equipment is on scene with additional assets en route."
Any leak will be difficult to contain in heavy seas. Current sea conditions are showing a 10-12 foot swell with winds of 35 knots. Conditions may worsen over the weekend.
Shell Alaska (@Shell_Alaska) Vice President Pete Slaiby has since tweeted "We are encouraged at what we are seeing of the integrity of the hull." (tweet) and "There was damage done to the electrical system on board, but by far the structure looks good." (tweet)
The recovery operation already involves over 600 people, with the US Coast Guard has initiated an investigation of the incident and is flying in investigators from the Coast Guard's Center of Excellence in New Orleans to conduct the Coast Guard Marine Casualty Investigation. Captain Paul Mehler, the Coast Guard Federal On Scene Coordinator, has committed the results of the investigation being made public.
At the press conference it was revealed that the Kulluk is grounded near a culturally significant site: about a mile from Refuge Rock. Duane Dvorak from the Kodiak communities outlined the significance to Native landowners and the people at Old Harbour, the closest community:
"That is probably the most culturally significant place for the Old Harbor community. ...there was a massacre of Old Harbor Natives when the Russian colonization of Kodiak had occurred. I don't know all of the historical significance or excuse me, all the details, but that was a place where they typically would seek refuge when they were at conflict with other Native communities but with the firearms of the Russian/American company to deal with, it was an unfair situation but it is something that's been passed down to (inaudible) traditional for many generations. Only in the past 10 years has archeological evidence been found to validate the exact location of this place and to document that."
Greenpeace have responded saying the grounding of the Kulluk demonstrates Shell's ongoing incompetence in Arctic Oil drilling Operations.
Greenpeace USA Deputy Campaigns Director Dan Howells said in a statement:
"The rocks grinding against the Kulluk's hull are damaging Shell's corporate reputation just as badly as the rig itself. It's hard to see how this company can salvage this rig, repair it and regain the public's trust in time for the 2013 drilling season.
"Shell's US$4.5 billion Arctic gamble is looking like a serious mistake, and should act as a warning to other companies looking to drill in this incredibly hostile environment.
"The US administration should stop licensing Arctic drilling and start protecting America's coastline from Shell's incompetence. Oil companies cannot operate safely in the pristine Arctic, where both the risks and the impacts of any industrial accident are too great to bear."
"Shell cannot be allowed to continue its reckless drilling programme. Over two million people have already joined a campaign to protect the Arctic from destructive industry and Shell's latest mishap confirms their worst fears. The US government must finally stand up and take action,"
It has already been revealed that Shell was moving the drilling rig from Alaska to Seattle, Washington to avoid about $6 million in property taxes that would be due on January 1st.
The Greenpeace statement documented several incidents this year in Shell's Arctic drilling program. These include:

Since Jillian Conrad's last solo show in Houston in 2015, she has lived in an apartment in Mexico City, on a river in upstate New York and next to a giant grapevine in Houston. These varied landscapes, and many spaces in between, have coalesced into a new body of work called Airspace. The new sculptures and works on paper continue Conrad's materially diverse investigation into the ways in which form can suggest meaning and abstraction can feel personal. Using pounded aluminum, blue dust and pomegranate branches, Airspace draws connections between the gravity of the terrestrial world and the invisible regions above us.
Airspace opens December 7, 2019 from 4-6pm, and will be on view until January 11, 2020.
Conversation with Roberto Tejada on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 12pm.
Airspace is Jillian Conrad's fourth solo exhibition at Devin Borden Gallery and was made with support from the Houston Arts Alliance.

When Google ate TomTom's lunch and had Garmin for dessert with its maps and navigation technology, it was precisely the kind of competitor-destroying explosive disruption we laid out in our recent book, "Big Bang Disruption." In this form of disruption, companies are out-innovated—and blown-up—by a competitor that can quickly create products that are at the same time cheaper and better.
Knowing that not every industry will be disrupted in this way, we recently turned our attention to asset-intensive industries that seemed to be immune to these shocks. Conventional wisdom has held that these industries would be protected from the marauding invaders by large and deep moats known today as barriers to entry. As is often the case, conventional wisdom is wrong.
The truth is that asset-intensive industries are experiencing a form of disruption that is slower but just as deadly. In fact, there is additional danger in this slowness: It can sneak up on companies, catching their sentries sleeping and allowing the enemy to be over the walls before the companies know anything is happening.
This is what we call "compressive disruption."
We studied 1,200 companies in six industries that are mostly asset-intensive (telecommunications, utilities, energy, materials, automotive and industrials). Something that surprised us: Compressive disruption is not a smooth, steady decline of business fortunes. Rather, it occurs in four specific phases.
During the "empty growth" period, revenues continue to grow but operating profits—as measured by earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (EBITA)—flatten. In the automotive industry, for example, revenues have grown substantially in the past 10 years, but profits were essentially unchanged from 2005 to 2015, the period we studied. We also see this "empty growth" phase in traditional telephone service and in personal computer manufacturing, two industries that have been substantially flattened and compressed by smartphones.
"Decay" is next. Here we see revenues flatten and start to fall; at the same time, EBITA starts falling, but even faster than revenues. Consider the beer and soft drink industries that have experienced this recently. There's not too much to toast at the moment.
Then comes "false hope." Both revenue and EBITA reverse course for a brief period, often as a result of drastic cost-costing efforts and deep discounting of prices to grow demand and revenues. Think of the briefly renewed fortunes of some big name social media companies or online gaming companies that seemed to be making a comeback.
"Decline" is where the hammer drops. It's a little bit like Big Bang Disruption; both revenue and EBITA drop dramatically and the industry hits the end of its useful life. You've only to look at certain categories of retail to see this in action.
Another surprise unearthed by our researcher is that three issues keep industries from responding to the compressive disruption threat. We call them "siren songs," because, like the songs of the sirens of mythology, they can be irresistible but lead to peril. They include:
The perception of industry stability. After 50 years in business, leaders don't expect dramatic changes, and the changes they do see are often ascribed to the normal business cycles that their industry has seen "a million times."
Ownership of many expensive assets. Enormous investments can provide a sufficient barrier to market entry for potential competitors–but with technology and innovation, no moat is too deep or wide for the other guys to cross.
A belief in the strength and longevity of current technology. For example, energy companies might not believe that solar will ever replace coal and natural gas, especially since energy costs have lowered again, despite the competitors' technological and longer-term benefits.
The siren songs can be confusing. It's as if they seem to play more loudly for some industries than others. But no industry should ignore them. Compressive disruption is actually occurring across many different industries at varying degrees of intensity, including cable television, the film industry, insurance, banking and even some public services.
However, with considerable effort and new strategies, any company can—like a sailboat seeking to avoid the doldrums—foresee and steer around the disruption.
Avoiding death by compressive disruption requires overcoming the siren songs, as Odysseus did with his crew—to get people to ignore false signs of stability and see the real threats. The real winners see an opportunity to not just escape compressive disruption, but to use it as an opportunity to hunker down, get more out of their core businesses and invest in new technologies and innovations. It means experimenting with the kinds of technologies that are going to be disruptive and it means really, fully embracing what we at Accenture call "the inevitable future."
Think of the recording industry and music. As vinyl and tape succumbed to digital, some foundered on the rocks and some flourished. Apple saw it coming. It advanced the future by selling songs online via iTunes. Today, Apple must compete with Pandora and Spotify, which are creating the future by providing listeners with anytime, anywhere access to music.
Companies can turn compressive disruption into an opportunity to innovate and map out new routes to "lead in the new" and capitalize on it.
All it takes is foresight, resolve, the right technology and more than a bit of bravery.

Do You Want to Know How Your Books Are Being Read?
By Lisa Hazen
When my first book was published, my publisher set me up with a book signing at a design conference. I happily sold and signed a huge stack of books, then sent them off with their new owners, not really knowing what would happen with them next. But as I left the conference, I spied two people huddled around my book. Then one pointed at something in the book, and the two of them laughed. This little glimpse of my book out in the wild haunts… Continue Reading

The first war of the next civilization has begun, It's not what we thought. We're not at war over religion, over food, or ideologies or poverty. The war broke out between all of us. Everyone is at war with everyone. There's no cause or sides or goal or even a plan. Almost all 7 billion of us have been so vehemently abused by our own 'age of coercion that we forgot the genetic collective completely and for each: "I'm just so fed up and tired of not being able to breathe and I miss the warmth of people but they are all the enemy and I'm going to take whatever i have; a cash register, a pencil, whatever I use for work or at home and use it to punish and humiliate everyone as I feel humiliated and impotent to express any though at all. They all my enemies. They only want to be half a step ahead of anyone, for the sake of the half a step. I hate them, I hate all humans. No you don't. Dont' believe it for a minute. It's a reflex. You're stronger than that. Anger and hate weaken the spirit and make us less. We are not less, only when we separate from the rest. We are all we have. Forgetting that can be mortal. The next time you see the war coming toward you, and it will, with an invitation. Don't accept it. Let is pass. Most of us know no better and can't think of who to blame but each other. If you find yourself in battle, remember some of our old tools that have been forgotten: grace, humor, understanding, wit, empathy and in the right circumstance, a little flirting can quell a maelstrom. We're human. We are spectacular. Be spectacular with each other. We're the only creatures that can do spectacular. It's better than war. The former; fulfllling. The latter; a slow poison. Ponder than. It works.
I love you all, CTWFRANK

Hey in here. Im in a bit of a crisis. When my Pro Tools started making a error message i chose to reinstall Pro Tools, but after uninstalling i discovered that all my product downloads were gone from my account. Now the only download i have available, is the 12.6 download from my Application Manager.
My upgrade plan ran out in June-July, but since i for now was happy with 12.5 i chose not to renew it for the time being. I have surrenderes my old licenses for the new on my iLok, but i can't get acces to 12.6, it just says that i have no licenses or activations, but i have 4 licenses which are activated; 10, 11, 12 and 2016 Pro Tools, so i have no idea what to make of all this, i can't download the older versions since they have disseapeared from my account, and i can't acces 12.6 since (I guess) my upgrade plan ceased in June-July...
Please help!!!
PT related question are better asked at duc.avid.com.

First, the link with appropriate source - the painter is KrakenGenesi. Being a fellow Kraken hive mind this diorama really hits home pretty well with me. I really like the clean painting style with the afterbirth on the babies. Plus he added space marines getting slaughtered by this monstrosity. Love it. Click to embiggen images.
|I really like the afterbirth effect on the gants. I didn't do that with mine but this looks really good.
|Look at all that gunk.
|Newly born gants ready to do their duty from the first second!
|These dudes really think they stand a chance?
|Overall a beautiful diorama with great painting
