UK Police Search for Chemical Bomb - Michael Holden and Katherine Baldwin (Reuters)
British anti-terrorist officers searched a house and two workplaces on Saturday for evidence of a possible chemical bomb plot, acting on intelligence that the house may have been used to make bombs or chemical weapons.
On Friday more than 250 officers, some wearing chemical, biological, and radiological protection suits, shot one man and arrested another during a dawn raid in east London.
"We're 100 percent certain that an attack was being planned. If we haven't stopped it, it could take place very soon," the Daily Mirror quoted a police source as saying.

England Afraid to Fly Its Own Flag - Modi Kreitman (Ynet News)
Following warnings by the extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, which said that the red cross in the flag of England symbolizes the "bloodthirsty crusaders" and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.
The NTL cable company, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency have banned the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
Palestinian Goods Begin Steady Flow into Israel - Thanassis Cambanis (Boston Globe)
Palettes of fresh produce, seafood, and office furniture rolled into Israel from the Gaza Strip last week, marking the first substantial flow of goods from the economically battered Palestinian territory since February.
The shipments were made possible by tentatively loosened Israeli security closures at the heavily guarded crossing points into Gaza.
In the last two weeks there has been a steady flow of imports into Gaza, and during the last nine days of May about 20 truckloads of exports a day out of Gaza.
Al-Qaeda Chief Urges Sunni War on Shi'ites - Lee Keath (AP/Boston Globe)
The leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq railed against Shi'ites in a four-hour-long audiotaped harangue posted on the Internet Friday, saying militias are raping women and killing Sunnis and the community must fight back.
The tape by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was intended to enflame rising Shi'ite-Sunni tensions across the Arab world.
"Sunnis, wake up, pay attention, and prepare to confront the poisons of the Shi'ite snakes," Zarqawi said. "Forget about those advocating the end of sectarianism and calling for national unity."
He pointed to two Shi'ite militias with links to parties in the Shi'ite-dominated Iraqi government, accused by Sunnis in Iraq of running death squads in a recent wave of sectarian violence.
Palestinians Rise In Sunni Insurgency (Middle East Newsline)
The U.S. military has determined that Palestinians have become senior operatives in the Sunni insurgency in Iraq.
Officials said more than 100 Palestinians entered Baghdad from Syria and Jordan over the last 18 months and helped plan suicide car bombings.
On May 30, Iraqi and U.S. troops captured three Palestinians identified as leaders of insurgency cells in Baghdad.

17 Held in Plot to Bomb Sites in Ontario - Ian Austen and David Johnston
Seventeen Canadian residents were arrested and charged with plotting to attack targets in southern Ontario with crude but powerful fertilizer bombs, Canadian authorities said Saturday. The 17 men were mainly of South Asian descent. The Toronto Star said the group had a list that included the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa as well as the Toronto branch office of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). (New York Times)

The delivery of three tons of ammonium nitrate to a group suspected of plotting terrorist attacks in southern Ontario was part of an undercover police sting operation. "If I can put this in context for you, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people was completed with only one ton of ammonium nitrate," said RCMP assistant commissioner Mike McDonell.
"They appear to have become adherents of a violent ideology inspired by al-Qaeda," said Luc Portelance of CSIS. Recruiters, or "ideological conditioners," for homegrown terrorists and what he dubbed the "jihad generation" have been actively seeking members in Toronto-area mosques, community centers, and schools since 2002, said John Thompson of the Mackenzie Institute.

Hamas Rejects Abbas' Plan for Recognizing Israel
Hamas rejected an ultimatum from PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to sign on to a referendum plan that would implicitly recognize Israel. Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas rejected Abbas' Tuesday deadline and called the referendum proposal illegal, setting up a head-on political confrontation between Hamas and Fatah after days of tension on the streets that have set off some armed clashes. "The local basic law and the advice which we got from experts in international law say that referendums are not permitted on the Palestinian land," Haniyeh said. Much of the Hamas leadership in Gaza as well as leaders living in Lebanon and Syria believe that accepting the plan would weaken the movement by abandoning its founding principles. (AP/Fox News)

Syrian Police Battle Islamic Militants in Damascus; Five People Killed - Albert Aji
Syrian antiterrorism police fought Islamic militants near the Defense Ministry Friday in a gunbattle that killed five people and wounded four, the government said. The official Syrian Arab News Agency said all 10 militants were members of a "takfiri" group, with a Sunni Muslim extremist ideology followed by groups such as al-Qaeda.
In previous clashes, security forces have confronted Islamic militants from "Jund al-Sham," or Soldiers of Syria, formed in Afghanistan by Syrian, Palestinian, and Jordanian militants with links to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. In March, Syrian security forces killed top Jund al-Sham militant Mohammed Ali Nasif. In December, Syrian anti-terrorist forces clashed with Islamic militants in Idlib, killing five. Three others, wearing explosives' belts, blew themselves up. Also in December, Syria announced it had uncovered a bomb-making factory in Aleppo, discovering plans for attacks on public buildings and security headquarters in Syria. (AP/Forbes)

Iran Threatens to Disrupt Gulf Oil Shipments - Alec Russell
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, warned Sunday that Iran would disrupt oil shipments in the Gulf if the U.S. makes a wrong move in its dealings with Teheran. "You will never be able to protect energy supply in this region," he said. "If you make any mistake, definitely shipments of energy from this region will be seriously jeopardized." Condoleezza Rice, the U.S. Secretary of State, told Fox News, "We shouldn't place too much emphasis on a threat of this kind. After all, Iran is also very dependent on oil revenue; something like 80% of its budget comes from its oil revenue. Obviously it would be a very serious problem for Iran if oil were disrupted."

Before 9/11, Hizballah was responsible for more American deaths than any other single terrorist organization. (AP/Washington Post)
Thousands Salute Israel in New York - Amy Sacks
Thousands of costumed marchers danced and sang on Fifth Ave. in the Salute to Israel parade Sunday, celebrating the Jewish state's 58th anniversary with a festive show of solidarity. "It's important to show support for Israel as a homeland for the Jewish people, but also for a country who has been on the front lines in the war on terror," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who marched alongside Mayor Bloomberg. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) noted that the recent election of Hamas, a known terrorist group, to lead the Palestinian government raises the stakes for the region. (New York Daily News)

Two Egyptian Policemen Killed Who Opened Fire at IDF Troops - Amos Harel
Israeli troops on Friday killed two Egyptian policemen who had crossed the border in the southern Negev and opened fire at them. According to IDF officers, the Egyptians had crossed the barbed wire marking the border and were about 100-150 meters inside Israel. The Egyptians were the first to open fire and they began running toward the Israeli soldiers. Military sources said the policemen appeared to be intent on carrying out a terrorist attack, and that they apparently were acting on their own initiative. (Ha'aretz)
Canada's Crime? - Editorial
The terrorists aren't simply reacting against the American-led war in Iraq or against America's support for Israel. Canada sent no troops to liberate Iraq. At the UN on key votes it's likely to abstain rather than vote with Israel. What the Islamic extremists oppose in Canada is the mere fact that it is not a country governed by Islamic law. Canada, along with America, Britain, Spain, and Australia, was listed by Osama Bin Laden as a "Christian" nation that should be a target for terrorism. Nothing short of dropping Christianity and converting to Islam will satisfy the Islamist terrorists. Concessions short of surrender won't satisfy the enemy, as the example of Canada demonstrates.

How to Deal with the Iran Problem - Nancy De Wolf Smith
Reza Pahlavi (son of the deposed shah of Iran) brought up the alternative strategy which Iranians, at home and abroad, have been urging deaf Western policy makers to adopt for years now: "That can only be internal pressure on the regime...support for proponents of democracy and human rights in Iran. There is no other answer." "There is no incentive that we can give the Islamic Republic to stand down....They need to do what they're doing, first and foremost because this is a totalitarian system. It has to keep the mood on the streets in its favor by continuing this process. If they are using the slogan of enrichment as a tool to keep these people mobilized, the minute they concede, they will lose their entire praetorian guard. Therefore, there's no way that they are going to concede on that point."
The threat of sanctions or the promise of aid won't budge the regime either, he says. "There is no economic incentive that you can throw at them, because you are not dealing with a conventional state, in the sense that it is ultimately accountable and responsible and cares about the citizens living in that boundary." Pahlavi says "there is only one thing that the outside world can do, and that is to tell the regime: 'We are serious about supporting the people who are inside Iran who are against you.' That is the only thing that will make Mr. Khamenei [Iran's supreme leader] and everybody stand down. Because nothing else ruffles them. The only thing they are really scared of are the people themselves." (Wall Street Journal)
Prince Hassan's Alarm - Arnaud de Borchgrave (Washington Times)
Jordan's Prince Hassan bin Talal, the former crown prince and King Abdullah's uncle, warned in an exclusive UPI interview about "the increasing control by Islamist fundamentalists of the masses of poor people."
In Washington last week, Prince Hassan also rang the alarm to warn about Jordan's increasingly perilous situation in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's plans for the West Bank. "If Jordan sits back and accepted developments as they are and does not play a proactive role, it is conceivable that far from breaking the deadlock in West Bank terms, what is an ideological movement [called Hamas] could spread to Jordan and the rest of the region," he explained.
Prince Hassan thinks it's time to revisit the International Trusteeship Council to replace the now defunct two-state Palestine-Israel solution. He notes the Israeli-occupied territories were occupied from Jordan, which "invokes a great deal of residual sovereignty."
"It is Jordan's responsibility," he said, "to address the question of free and fair elections whereby all Jordanians of Palestinian origin are invited to be included - inclusion, not assimilation - in Jordan....We can then turn to the Palestinians and say, 'You have found your safe haven and contributed to it. We have not put to rest your hopes and dreams about a right to return [to what is now Israel] - though this remains a pipedream - and we are not an alternative to Palestine.'"
Prince Hassan recalled the late Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban advocated the Benelux concept for Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, or independence within a larger economic union.

KK – THE MESMERIZER
Singer KK Official Website
"I NEVER GET TIRED OF PLAYING PAL AND YAARON" – KALYAN BARUAH
Chilling out at his Yari Road apartment cum workplace was Kalyan Baruah when he humbly welcomed me in. Woohoo.. it was one hell of a place.. computer screens, guitars and speakers galore. "Get that stool here", he said and we were away. All the nerves were gone in no time, that's how gentle and humble he is. He's been the mainstay of Bollywood and Indi-Pop for a long time now and is very content with what he's achieved in life. He respects KK and all his fellow band members a lot and says we're family and our relationship is beyond business. Sipping through his coffee, he tells us that music is all he wanted to do and how passionate he is about creating good music. His way of speaking only defined his personality – simple, modest, straight-forward and frank.
When did you start playing the guitar and who were your influences as a child?
I was always fond of music and started playing the guitar in 1981-82.. my family also has a musical background. I initially couldn't afford a guitar and learnt the tabla for a few years but eventually got bored of it. Some of the Guitar Players that have influenced me are.. Buddy Guy, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Roy Buchanon, Jeff Beck, Larry Carlton, Scott Henderson, A.J… and many more.
When did you get noticed and which brand of guitar do you use?
I started playing with a band called 'Friends' in 1982 which was a very established band in the north-east and played for a long time with them. We played various genres of music there, including regional. I've also played with major artists like Rudy Wallang and Lou Majaw.. who were great to work with. Briefly, I was also part of a band called 'The Great Society', which still is a major band there. Alongside, I tried to do a job and kinda worked with anyone and everyone then. But, I soon quit my job and decided to take up guitaring as my profession. The Guitar that I use now for my studio and live playing is a Gibson CS336.. (thanks to Heena of Gibson India!!) I was playing the Fender Strat a lot before that.. live as well as recordings.. besides these, I have PRS, IBNANEZ vintage series, Fender Telecatser, Aria Pro2, Taylor accoustics, Talkamine and few other hand made nylon string Guitars.
How and when did you meet KK?
Ohh.. this was purely by chance. We first met at Anu Malik's recording studio in 1994.. both were fresh faces then. We just started chatting casually and would often bump into each other at recording studios. I've liked his singing from the very beginning. The early part of KK's career was purely based on jingles & other ad work.
How did 'Pal' happen?
Well, I used to play for artistes like Lucky Ali.. and we (as in Karl, Kurt and Rinku) had a house band for Channel V at that time as the channel was newly launched. There, Leslie Lewis approached us to work for this album called Pal, in which he was launching KK. We readily agreed and this was how we got our first major break. Leslie wasnted to make it lively and didn't want all that programmed stuff in the album, so we enjoyed a lot during Pal and really started coming close.
Do you have a special fondness for an instrument, a particular guitar? Which other instruments do you play ?
I primarily like playing the guitar. But I do play the keyboard, the tabla and various other string instruments.
Playing guitar commercially has always been considered a selfless job.. why did you choose this instead of going for a rock band of your own, or did you ever want to form your own band?
Ohh.. I've always wanted to and I still do.. I think of it all the time (laughs).. but yes.. I agree with you on that. It's indeed a selfless job. But the time when I started, I really didn't have much to choose. I decided to sell my talent and wherever I went to play I got instantaneous feedback and I loved that, it helped me in many ways.. and more importantly I was loving what I was doing. I do keep writing stuff and who knows, I may compile everything one day and come up with something of my own.
How do you prefer to go about a recording? Bass, acoustic, electric.. in what order?
It all depends on what kind of work I'm requested for. If the director wants me to do acoustic I go for it and the same applies for bass & electric. I don't have any preferences as such.
What is it like working with music directors in general? Favourites?
It has been wonderful. I've had the good fortune of working with several talented music directors. I've worked with artistes like Adnan Sami and I even did the music for Lucky Ali's second album 'Aks'. I've known Salim since the day I came to Bombay. The great part about Bombay is that if you seriously are good at a particluar thing, you definitely get good work and all music directors have been fantastic to work with.. don't really have a favourite (smiles).
Which song do you enjoy the most when you're performing live?
I never get tired of playing Pal and Yaaron.. though we've played it for like a million times together.. but these two are indeed special. We also enjoy the fast, peppy numbers on stage and basically enjoy a lot when we're performing live.
What's the secret of keeping a band together, now that it's been over 10 years that you all have been together?
It's really a matter of respecting the opinions and views of one another. You also need to give every member his space and ultimately you should be really passionate about it. I feel the main thing lies in feeling your music to the fullest and having faith in your band and in your music.. be it any genre. You should feel you're playing the best music in the world.
Does KK get angry when you miss a beat/tune during your gigs?
Oh not at all.. he's as calm as ever and very down to earth. In fact, we should all learn from him, how to stay cool and composed even if things aren't going your way. He's a great friend and we've shared some wonderful moments together.
What's your take on band culture in India? What message would you give to budding guitarists who look up to you?
I personally feel, if you've formed a band.. you must take your music seriously. It's a different thing whether you want to pursue it professionally, but you've got to be passionate about your music and I'm sure there are great bands in India. For the young guitarists.. keep loving your music and have conviction in what you're doing. Believe that you're playing great music.
What are your hobbies & other interests? Favourite music?
Well, I love photography (he showed me some of the pictures he clicked.. trust me, they were AWESOME!!). I do painting and love travelling. I basically like rock/jazz/blues.. I also enjoy bollywood numbers and of course KK tracks.
What would you be if you weren't a guitarist?
I would definitely have been doing something related to anthropology. I did my graduation in anthropology. I really like exploring things and it fascinates me as to how people from different regions have different body structure.. basically study of human beings. I once also thought that I would be a lecturer in some college (tongue in cheek).
'Cineraria' has been liked by so many.. do you all plan to launch an exclusive English album? And how long is KK going to make us wait this time for his next?
Ahh.. we haven't thought about it like that.. 'Cineraria' was like a tribute to KK's old days, when he did rock & other english stuff.. it has a nostalgic feel for him. We still do english stuff during our jam sessions and it's awesome. Look, an album takes a lot of time.. if you sit down and think that you're going to make an album, you're under immense pressure which will certainly not help. It should just happen. I'll tell you how 'Ye Kahan Mil Gaye Hum' happened. KK and I were returning from a concert and were waiting at the airport.. there we misread our flight time as 8:35 which was actually 18:35.. we kept on chatting chatting.. till we realized that we had actually missed the flight. Our wives got very angry when they got to know this. We went to a hotel and just sat there in our rooms. I picked up my guitar and started playing the tune which you now hear in the initial part of the song.. and the lyrics too were very apt at that time.. ye kahan mil gaye hum.. (laughs).. So, it's really not a programmed thing.. it just happens and great music is made.

Global Defence Technology: Issue 46
In this issue: The strategic thinking behind US-Vietnam reconciliation, boosting simulation technology with an open-source approach, the problem of regulating private militaries, the market potential of Textron AirLand's Scorpion budget fighter, how the Triton UAS could transform maritime surveillance, Australia's U-turn on domestic-built submarines and more.
Berenice Baker
Over the last two decades, relations between the US and Vietnam have improved considerably and the two nations are now forging closer political, economic and military ties. We investigate how the geopolitical situation around the South China Sea and China's recent aggression in territorial disputes have influenced the strategic thinking behind the two former enemies forming a new alliance.
Governments have increased their reliance on private military companies in recent conflicts but their use raises ethical questions – as illustrated by the high-profile trial of Blackwater guards involved in the Baghdad shootings of 2007. We explore the challenges of regulating private forces working alongside the military in conflict zones. We also find out what the US military is hoping to achieve with its open-source approach to new simulation technology development, take a look at the testing phase of Aeros' massive military cargo airship and ask whether Textron AirLand's Scorpion budget fighter jet can succeed on the international market.
Moreover, we review the capabilities of the US Navy's Triton UAS as it gets ready to enter service alongside the manned Poseidon aircraft, chart landmark events in the Royal Navy's 100-year history of Submarine Service on an interactive timeline and explore the Australian Government's options as it chooses between domestic-built and Japanese-bought submarines.

An Unlikely Alliance
Only forty years after their bitter conflict, the US and communist Vietnam are forging closer political, economic and military ties. Grant Turnbull investigates the strategic thinking behind his reconciliation.
Click here for the full article.
The US military is looking to use web-based technologies for simulation in an effort to increase collaboration and harness the potential of developers outside the defence industry. Grant Turnbull explores the benefits of the open-source approach.
Straining Hearts and Minds
Governments often recruit private military and security companies to bolster regular troops and support services, but their use can raise ethical questions. Berenice Baker finds out more.
Worldwide Aeros promises to revolutionise military heavy-lift operations with its massive Aeroscraft cargo airships, having proven the concept with the flight of a half-scale demonstration model. Berenice Baker asks whether a planned fleet of 22 airships for joint military and civil applications will take to the skies.
Year of the Scorpion
Since its first flight in 2013, Textron AirLand's new Scorpion aircraft has enjoyed significant attention from industry, the media and military top brass. Grant Turnbull asks, can the low-budget fighter jet live up to the hype and secure orders?
Poseidon's Perfect Partner
Northrop Grumman is developing the MQ-4C Triton for the US Navy to provide long-endurance maritime surveillance. Berenice Baker finds out how the navy's biggest UAS ever will fly missions of up to 24 hours and work together with the manned Boeing P-8 Poseidon.
A Century Unseen
The Royal Navy recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Submarine Service, whose motto is "We Come Unseen". Berenice Baker looks at the most important submarines to have served and some of their most glorious – and occasionally inglorious – moments.
Australia's U-Turn
As the Australian Government backtracks on its promise to build its next-generation submarines domestically, Grant Turnbull asks why the country is now looking to buy Japanese technology and what this will mean for the Australian industry.
Next issue preview
The US has strictly ruled out deploying ground troops to Iraq or Syria in the fight against Islamic State and is instead relying exclusively on airstrikes. We investigate whether the use of air power is enough to win a war without boots on the ground.
We also explore the contenders for the US Army's Ultra Light Combat Vehicle programme, take a look at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works' proposed nuclear fusion generator in the context of previous attempts at nuclear powered military aircraft and ask how the US Air Force is keeping its nuclear arsenal strike-ready in a post-Cold War era.
Moreover, we find out how missile manufacturers are trying to bring down the operational costs of counter-insurgency missions by equipping tactical UAS with small munitions, and take a look at the naval technology that allows advanced vessels to be operated by ever smaller crews.

The largest of our compact track loader range to offer radial lift, the large platform 2,250lb (1021kg) rated operating capacity JCB 225T incorporates our unique PowerBoom with exclusive side door entry design.
Designed for comfort, safety, economy, productivity and durability in Savannah, GA the 225's 74hp (55kW) JCB engine is durable and highly efficient.
The 225T has on average 60% better visibility and a 33% larger cab than competitive model compact track loaders, and there are a whole host of other benefits as well. Like ergonomic controls, an extremely tough PowerBoom and a low cost of ownership.
All of which helps make our large platform compact track loaders 21% more productive in performance tests against the competition*.
* – Based on faster speed of getting in/out and faster startup times.
The JCB 225T compact track loader is designed with safety in mind. Our unique PowerBoom design means operators can enter the machine from the left side, avoiding slip and crush hazards and contact with the loader arm and its attachments.
The 225T has 60% better visibility than the average compact track loader, partly due to a low profile single rear loader tower and the absence of a conventional large rear torque tube.
There's the lowest entry step in the industry, a front windshield that doubles as an emergency exit and a standard rear view mirror. The fuel tank is integrated into the chassis for added protection; and the hoses, safely run through the PowerBoom to reduce the possibility of damage.
Keeping your operators fresh, focused and productive is paramount, which is why we've designed the 225T compact track loader with a 33% larger cab than the nearest competitive machine. Our standard seat has mechanical suspension and there's also a 12V charger, easily readable control panels and an electronic hand throttle.
Servo-assisted controls make handling smooth and intuitive; all in all, we like to think the JCB 225T compact track loader is a favorite among operators for comfort.
There's no more productive compact track loader than the JCB 225T. The figures speak for themselves: it has a 16% lower cost of ownership than competitive model compact track loaders, a better SAE service rating, an annual fuel savings of over 647 gallons/3,975 liters* and a heavy-duty crowd ram that's nearly 3 times the size of the nearest major competitor.
There's a standard mechanical quickhitch and auxiliary couplers on the PowerBoom too. In short, it's as productive as a compact track loader gets.
* – based on 50 weeks per year and 35 hours per week.
We've designed the 225T compact track loader to be serviced easily, ensuring minimum downtime. Firstly, we mount our engines longitudinally for easy access to the drive belt and associated components. There are also 30% fewer grease points than conventional vertical lift twin arm compact track loaders.
We've installed front and rear chassis clean out plates, with a fluid drain point in the rear one, as well as durable O-ring face seals on all hydraulic fittings. There's excellent service access through the rear service door and a gas strut-assisted tilting cooling pack.
So it's no wonder the JCB 225T large platform compact track loader is on average 24% more serviceable than competitive machines, based on SAE Service Audit Scores.


An image on the news last night got me thinking. In Nevada, hundreds of people stood in lines several blocks long waiting patiently for the chance to buy a ticket for the 355 million dollar Mega Bucks lottery game. Apparently this was a snapshot of similar scenes around the country. $355 million. Wow. Just some time in line and a few bucks and then…. Dreamland! Odds = 1: 176 million. Eh….
Years ago while on an escape from Ohio to a week of hiking in the Smokies, I stopped for gas in a tiny town in West Virginia. After filling up I went into the small shop to pay. Inside I was welcomed by a large lottery display and a polite young cashier. I rarely buy lottery tickets but, heck, I was on vacation so I asked the cashier for 5 bucks worth.
I have never forgotten that conversation.
Yeah, entrepreneurs, parents, homeowners, business leaders… I suppose all of us… have a finite set of resources and we likely spend a chunk of time every day calculating risk, ROI, etc. "Should I invest in this? Spend time, money, energy on that? What if I lose? What do I get?…" Sound familiar?
No offense to my friends who embrace risk management, spreadsheets, decision trees and the like… but it is simple really. We have a 50/50 chance. We either win or we lose. We either make it happen or we don't.
Maybe if we looked at possibilities around us and saw a 50/50 chance of success we would leap boldly more often. Imagine what is possible if we did.
Well… we either will… or we won't. It's that simple.
Thank you as always! This is a jolt of reality for me as I plan my goals for this year.
Thanks Sue. I love the 50/50 perspective. I believe that all folks have a risk tolerance for life, and that is may be far beyond what they currently feel, or allow themselves to accept – myself included.
On the flip of a coin, would you bet $1 to make $5?
Would you bet $10 to make $50?
At some point we all stop short of betting our life savings to quadruple it. However, the odds are rarely that punitive in life. I'm playing the 50/50 odds with my team more often! Thanks.
really like this one… nice shift in the speed bump — in the end, you either do or you don't. in the clasic words from a little green guy: do or do not, there is no try.


Just because it's healthy doesn't mean that it doesn't taste good. In fact there are a lot of things that I use to like that just doesn't taste good to me anymore. Obviously this isn't always the case. There are actually a lot of things that can be made in a different way. And I'm not the type of person who is going to sacrifice taste. For example I spent $20 on a couple of loaves of a Paleo bread, because I cut bread out of my diet. After the third bite of the Paleo bread, I realized that I wasn't going to eat something that tasted like crap because I liked what I was replacing. I tossed both loaves out and learned a lesson.
The other night I decided to make chicken fingers. This time I really liked the taste.

4/7 – Scholarly Leadership Considered – A Call for Papers
Peer Reviewed Articles / April - June 2015
Mark McCaslin
"Faculty are losing out, too. Research and publications have become the primary means by which most professors achieve academic status, and yet many academics are, in fact, drawn to the profession precisely because of their love for teaching or service—even for making the world a better place." (Boyer, 1990, p. xii) Twenty-five years have passed since The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching issued Ernest Boyer's Scholarship Reconsidered. Having been a professor and scholar during that same time period I can report that while we, the professorate, have and continue to consider this seminal report. The various dimensions of scholarship stemming from Boyer's report remain, for the most part, unbalanced, passive, and disconnected. The divisions of scholarship — Discovery, Integration, Application, and Teaching — have been discussed and weighed all the while remaining divided. Most would agree that the value of the scholarship of Discovery still weighs heaviest in terms of what counts in academia in terms of professional advancement and what matters in terms of the advancement of scholarship — ideas, innovations, and theories (Vannini, 2006, & Gravani, 2007).
This creates a system of scholarship where the other divisions or elements become passive and under recognized. In terms of dissemination; the sharing of knowledge across disciplines, the sharing of best practices, or the sharing of conversations about teaching and learning, remain localized and unconnected within discreet communities of practice. This call for papers seeks to encourage a revitalization concerning the value of a balanced approach to scholarship and professional advancement to be called scholarly leadership. Terms like transdiciplinarity (Nicolescu, 2002; & McGregor & Volckmann, 2011, generativity (Erikson 1950/1963; & Volckmann, 2014), and communities of scholarship (McCaslin & Flora, 2013) will be considered a natural part of the discussion.
The intent is to reinvigorate the conversation concerning the divisions of scholarship towards producing a balanced, active, and generative system that seeks to discover, integrate, apply, and teach from an interconnected transdisciplinary perspective. A system that seeks to put knowledge and wisdom to work in the world.
The Philosophical Foundation
The philosophical foundation supporting this discussion is integral in its construction. An integral approach to the various elements of scholarship is made necessary because it holds the function of drawing it to completion or it draws our attention towards seeing the individual elements as an interconnected whole. Integral thinking draws together the elements of scholarship into an interrelated system of ideas that are mutually enriching (Volckmann, 2014). Integral thinking can be seen as synergistic as it seeks a synthesis of these elements (Esbjőrn-Hargens, 2010). Figure 1 is a representation of this integral thinking. The realms of scholarship in this model form an interrelated dynamic with each contributing and acting on the other. As such, valuing, interacting, transacting, and transforming enliven and inform the whole. The dynamic is not linear but networked. In the end the lines separating individual realms dissipate forming a community of scholarship as shown in Figure 2.
Means for Discussion/Interaction
Call for focused research and reporting on the nature of scholarly leadership (Figure 3). How would such knowledge purpose itself at the intersection of the Carnegie Foundations, Priorities of the Professorate (Boyer's Model) and the nature of integral leadership? Additional questions might include: What are the things you value most about your professional life?; How can we actively redefine scholarship as being both inclusive and integral?
Foreseeable Implications of Discussion
Within a community of scholarship the elements of scholarship; Discovery, Integration, Application, and Teaching, are not seen as discreet subsets but as interdependent and interrelated aspects of advancing knowledge and wisdom. It would be appropriate to ask, given this declaration; to what purpose? Globally it could be said for the advancement of the human condition. Research and scholarship within such a meta-purpose would hold a social responsibility therefore becoming a social activity (Booth, Colomb, & Williams, 2008). The community of scholarship, like leadership itself, is dynamic and it is through that dynamism that real discovery, real change, reflective of our mutual purposes, will be revealed to the world (Rost, 1993).

'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Teaser Reveals Costume Details
Posted December 3rd, 2016 by Nick Cavicchio
In the years since the release of the first Spider-Man film, we have seen nearly half a dozen different live action versions of the web slinger's iconic costume. Each of them has favored including or emphasizing certain details over others, with the version featured in the three Sam Raimi films arguably being the most comic accurate iteration to date, but there is one particular detail that has been largely ignored up to this point. That detail is the costume's underarm webbing (affectionately known as "web pits" among fans). But that looks set to change in next summer's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'.
Earlier today at the CCXP comic convention in Brazil, a brief clip from 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' was screened at a panel. Less a trailer or even a teaser than something meant to whet the audience's appetite for the supposedly imminent release of a full trailer, the footage nonetheless represents a first look at the film. While the footage has not yet made its way onto the internet, Ryan Penagos of Marvel Digital Media was present at the panel and shared a few interesting tidbits on Twitter, including the reveal that the costume featured in 'Homecoming' will include underarm webbing:
There's a case from Tony Stark with an "upgrade" for Spidey. Then we see Spidey leap off a building, open his arms, web wings! #ccxp2016 2/?
— Ryan Penagos (@AgentM) December 2, 2016
The inclusion of web pits on Spider-Man's comic book renditions has varied widely over the character's fifty-plus year history. Perhaps most strongly associated with the work by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko, subsequent artists have placed more or less emphasis on them, to the extent that they now tend to be seen as more of an individual artistic touch than a crucial part of the design. For example, While Ditko often drew extremely prominent web pits, later artists like Mark Bagley have been known to include them as almost an afterthought.
Directed by Jon Watts, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' stars Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Tony Revolori, Laura Harrier, and Robert Downey Jr. The film is due in theaters on July 7, 2017.

"The really important question in our work is time. Offering the spectator the necessary time to see, think and reflect. Our work is based on detail. With a normal viewing it isn't possible to make discoveries. We try to escape from the generic and give identity to the faces". That is how Angela Ricci Lucchi defined the style which over the course of more than four decades she gradually sculpted along with Yervant Gianikian, her companion in life and in work. Both occupy a unique, essential place in the present edition of SEFF, with the screening of I DIARI DI ANGELA. NOI DUE CINEASTI, a film which mustn't be seen as a testament, but as the maximum demonstration of the permanence of image, of cinema as a device for immortalising the memory of the existence of its creators and of what they observed with their camera. It is written, and filmed.
To escape from the generic and give identity to the faces. That persistent search by Ricci Lucchi and Gianikian to illuminate and define the shadows of the past, so that we understand the crossroads of History, also determines the spirit of this festival and of the films selected. The Official Section has been built on axes that sustain the emotional and social keys of contemporaneity, a cinema struggling against the amnesia and brutality that loom over the continent.
The permanence of art
Certainly, present-day Europe is similar to that of darker years because of the increase in nationalisms, prevailing xenophobia, economic instability, an increasingly searing climate of distrust and violence between nations. Art continues to warn about a catastrophe in the making, whether through traditional means or using the latest technology as a weapon. But how to adapt to the new devices, how to assume that creation has become intangible? In NON-FICTION Olivier Assayas faces the complex adaptation involved in moving from the physical book to the e-book, associating it in addition with a mid-life sentimental crisis, developing a comic streak unprecedented in his extraordinary filmography. THE WILD PEAR TREE, the monumental work by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, also has powerful literary and familiar traces, taking as a central figure a student who longs for the publication of his first novel in the depths of Anatolia at the same time as he copes with a tumultuous relationship with his father. A particular Stendhal syndrome traps the psychiatrist and protagonist of RUBEN BRANDT, COLLECTOR, an animated thriller that is the stunning feature film debut of Milorad Krstić, a dazzling immersion in the history of art –with references to Velázquez, Botticelli, Picasso or Hopper– and the human subconscious.
Lessons never learned
We are living in an unusual moment in which the past century is ignored and unknown for the new generations. In Europe we are even witnessing the explicit vindication of fascism by governments and growing forces. But this exercise in human stupidity doesn't belong only to our era. Aleksei German Jr. undertakes a new dissection of the Russian soul in its greatest depth with DOVLATOV, a biopic of the brilliant writer who, before going into exile in France, suffered scorn and isolation in the times of Brezhnev. Sergei Dovlatov was an irreducible creator, an uncomfortable element for the establishment, a man ahead of his time. Just like Aleksei German, father of the director of this film, which must be read as a veiled tribute to the father and to the freedom of artists. The sinuous, masterful movements of László Nemes takes us in SUNSET through the Budapest of 1910, where the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire coincides with the dawn of a revolutionary spirit that was to end in the outbreak of the First World War. A landscape of chaos and uncertainty, waiting for the horror. The battle has already unfolded in NEVER LOOK AWAY, a melodrama in two angry times (the outcome of the Second World War and divided Germany) with which Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck vindicates the avant garde aspect of art. As if addicted to chains, the human being goes back constantly to times of misery and repression. The gloomy present of the United Kingdom has echoes in common with that reflected by the photographer Richard Billingham in his first feature film RAY & LIZ, a superb reconstruction of his own childhood, a hard-hitting recollection of Thatcherism from the most intimate territory.
Burning realities
Forgetting those pasts leads us to a world that falls again into the most colossal abysses: fratricidal war, the end of humanism. It is necessary to be a visionary to reflect these problems with such a precise edge, such a bleeding humour as Sergei Loznitsa in DONBASS, a collection of tableaux on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which apportions responsibility with mathematical exactitude on all the scourges: from ultra-nationalism to institutional chaos, from violent authoritarianism to corruption. There is a climate of injustice that is choking a directionless population, desperate for references who will become valid representatives, a responsibility that the protagonist of AT WAR tries to assume, in another example of crude realism developed by Stéphane Brizé. Derived from that precariousness and defencelessness, we have the underworld of drug trafficking, represented soberly by David Oelhoffen in his thriller CLOSE ENEMIES. The stigmatization of minorities is inherent to the construction of the West, built in the case of the United States with the blood of slaves. That indelible legacy fires the spirit of the Afro-American community's spirit of struggle, today with a fury that hasn't been remembered since the early 70s. This is shown in WHAT YOU GONNA DO WHEN THE WORLD'S ON FIRE?, a new exploration of the deep southern states of North America undertaken by the Italian Roberto Minervini, a vibrant look at neo-Black Power. And returning to Europe, we can see neo-slavery on the backs of young sub-Saharans who, after surviving the odyssey of disembarking in a land of uncertain hopes, come up against a silenced death, as denounced by Xavier Artigas and Xapo Ortega in the revealing IDRISSA, CRÓNICA DE UNA MUERTE CUALQUIERA.
The doors of the continent
However much the authorities and the mass media try to generalise the experiences of migrants, or directly make them invisible, cinema insists of turning its spotlight on ordinary lives that have within them a discreet heroism. The burden of the debt incurred in the homeland and the disappointment on arriving on the promised continent. That is the case of the young protagonist of JOY, the second feature film by Sudabeh Mortezai, who travels from Nigeria to Austria only to find herself trapped in a network of prostitution. The journey from Senegal to France will also be traumatic for the worker at the centre of AMIN. Once again Philippe Faucon conceives a portrait of immigration that is as direct and sober as it is far removed from stereotypes, looking at the emerging passion between the worker and his client, a wealthy woman played by the sublime Emmanuelle Devos.
The reverse route, West-East, is undertaken by the war reporter in MAYA –an extremely sensitive film that opens new emotional and narrative horizons in Mia Hansen-Løve's career–whose journey to India will allow him to glimpse an innocence he lost after co-existing with terror and the death of a colleague in Syria.
Sentimental destinies
Emotional disagreements, the heartbreak from loss, the revelation of falling in love and its collapse are inherent to the History of Cinema. Contemporary directors continue to find new points of view to untangle the most complex and unfathomable of questions: the future of the human soul. The family as the starting point and the eternal place of return is dealt with in two films linked by a key talent in universal cinema: Valeria Golino. We find her as an actress in the comedy about a summer reunion in which the wounds of the past come to the surface, LES ESTIVANTS (directed by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), and as director in EUPHORIA, an intense drama about the crossed paths of two brothers, in which illness will serve to revive a link that had been destroyed. The unexpected irruption of the most primitive bonds plunges the protagonist of PEARL, a top level body builder on the threshold of a crucial championship, in a dilemma that is hard to solve. This forceful debut by Elsa Amiel opens unexplored paths in the filmic representation of the conciliation between maternity and professional fulfilment.
Set in the París of the 90s, PLAIRE, AIMER ET COURIR VITE tells of the encounter between two men at a key moment in their lives: the view of the precipice for the more experienced, the flowering of sexuality for the younger. Two divergent perspectives of love, perhaps incompatible, laid out by Christoph Honoré with an honesty that is both tender and brutal. The resplendent vitality of the French filmmaker finds its opposite pole in PITY, second feature film by Babis Makridis, a brilliant black comedy about an emotionally anaesthetised individual, who assists inert at his wife's coma. With the patent legacy of Greek tragedy and the shadow of Samuel Beckett weighing on each sequence, Makridis captures a brutal essay on the absurdity of existence.
Bodies in a trance
The cinema is in the end image in movement, the following of bodies that escape from the frame, unleashed. A territory of continuous experimentation that discerns the most hidden emotions. In her first film, TOUCH ME NOT, Adina Pintilie has taken this concept to an extreme never before imagined. The limits of representation –fiction or non-fiction –are dynamited in this film about overcoming trauma through sex. But sex can also be the cause of trauma, as Yolande Zauberman says in M, an incursion without a safety net into the heart of darkness of Israel, the city of Bneï Brek, stronghold of the ultra-orthodox community, to give voice to those who suffered abuses in that supposedly unblemished space. Through grainy, crude images, stories emerge that were lost for years in the obscurantism of fear.
Situating the camera where no human being has been capable of looking. That is undoubtedly the vocation of daring filmmakers. Víctor Moreno takes us to apparently indecipherable catacombs in LA CIUDAD OCULTA. It is a journey through sewers and passageways. A descent both real and atmospheric through the depths of our world. Cinema with a brutal physicality, like that of Abdellatif Kechiche, who in MEKTOUB, MY LOVE: CANTO UNO unfolds an impetuous mise-en-scène, regulating his narrative only by the driving forces of desires, the savage passion of adolescence, the daily life of bodies that dance without rest, expressing themselves in their purest instinctive essence.
Mektoub, which means "it is written", is the term that in Arabic defines the concept of destiny.
Even though Europe is still setting out on its return to the hell of its most decrepit past, even though it is still barring its doors, this continent will continue on its hybrid path, on which the languages of Joy, Amin and Idrissa will be spoken; and on which filmmakers will reflect its realities and fractures beyond the established borders.
Escaping from the generic and giving identity to the faces, as the eternal Angela Ricci Lucchi stated. It is written. And filmed.

Фелициан Феликс (Людовик Войцехович) Панцер (; 1798—1851) — офицер Русской императорской армии,  и  польского происхождения.

Биография

Фелициан Феликс Панцер родился 28 мая 1798 года в Бодзехуве; происходил из дворян. Первое образование получил в Вонхоцком и Краковском училищах; в последнем кончил с отличием полный курс наук в 1815 году. Для продолжения образования поступил в Краковский университет, где изучал науки философского факультета. После двухлетних занятий, получив отличный университетский диплом в 1818 году, он определился на службу кондуктором в Инженерный Корпус бывшего польского войска.

В это время правительство поручило инженерам произвести съемку города Варшавы и ее окрестностей. Панцер, участвовавший в этой съемке, своей сметливостью, знанием дела и быстрым исполнением возложенных поручений, вскоре успел обратить на себя внимание начальства которое, оценивая эти труды и другие его технические занятия, произвело его в 1820 году в подпоручики. Одним из выдающихся проектов, составленных им в это время, представляется проект однопролётного железного моста через реку Вислу близ Варшавы. Подробности этого смелого проекта изложены в изданной значительно позже брошюре, написанной им на польском языке: «Новая система железных мостов значительного пролета» («Wiadomość о nowym rodzaju mostów żelaznych na wielką otwartość z zastosowaniem do rzeki Wisły pod Warszawą»; Варшава, 1830 год). Российский император Александр I после осмотра укреплений города Замостья пожаловал Панцера чином поручика, — и с тех пор с каждым годом росла его известность, как опытного и талантливого строителя.

В 1825 году ему было поручено было составить проект и произвести постройку деревянного моста с разводной частью для пропуска судов на pеке Нареве близ укрепления Новогеоргиевска. Успешное и весьма скорое окончание (в 1826 году) предпринятого сооружения стало возможным благодаря использованию приспособлений, изобретённых строителем (черпаков и всего механизма для водоотлива, механических копров, оказавшихся на практике весьма удобными и значительно облегчающими забивку свай).

После окончания названного сооружения он с 1 января 1827 года получил место профессора в Военном приготовительном училище и несколько лет читал в этом высшем учебном заведении курс путей сообщения и гидротехнических сооружений. Как профессор, он не только устно излагал свои мысли в ясной и удобопонятной форме, но и составил для своих слушателей прекрасные письменные руководства. За труды по училищу в 1829 году он получил орден Святой Анны 3 степени.

В 1830 году он оставил военную службу и тотчас же поступил в Правительственную комиссию финансов и казначейства, в которой по поручениям тогдашнего министра составил много проектов по части технических усовершенствований в подведомственных Комиссии горных заводах. В 1831 году, в декабре, за неимением соответственных занятий, он оставил занятия в Комиссии «с рекомендацией» — как сказано в формуляре — «тогдашнему временному правительству и Правительственной комиссии внутренних дел и полиции».

В мае 1832 года он поступил инженер-референтом или инженер-делопроизводителем в Правительственную комиссию внутренних дел и вскоре — в ноябре 1832 года был назначен членом Строительного Совета Царства Польского. Кроме весьма важных технических занятий в Строительном совете, он принял на себя обязанность читать лекции строительной механики на приготовительных курсах, открытых в то время при Комиссии внутренних дел для готовящихся к техническим занятиям. В 1838 году он был назначен исполняющим обязанности инспектора путей сообщения и был утвержден в этой должности в 1841 году.

В это время он построил деревянный мост на pеке Вепрже, близ крепости Ивангорода. Мост интересен по значительным размерам арки и по хорошо обдуманным деталям. В то время обыкновенные пролеты деревянных арок редко превышали 25 сажен, а вепржский мост состоит из одной арки пролетом в 36½ сажен. Местные обстоятельства, препятствовавшие значительному возвышению мостовой настилки, вынудили строителя избрать систему висячего моста, при которой было весьма затруднительно придать надлежащую устойчивость деревянным формам, но Панцер успешно преодолел эти трудности. Орден Святого Владимира 4 степени стал наградой талантливому строителю за этот проект.

При образовании в 1842 году Управления путей сообщения в Царстве Польском он был назначен его членом. В 1847 году он назначен был инспектором и членом Общего Присутствия Правления XIII (Варшавского) округа путей пообщения. За рассматриваемый период он произвел многочисленные работы: ему принадлежит сооружение мостов на Петербургском шоссе под Зегрже и Остроленкою; укрепление берегов Вислы от Варшавы до Новогеоргиевска и улучшение судоходства на этом пространстве тоже произведено при его участии; исполненными работами он положил предел разрушительному действию частых наводнений и упрочил весьма непостоянное русло pеки Вислы.

Самым выдающимся сооружением, воздвигнутым Панцером, представляется Варшавский виадук (эстакада) Панцера, который по своей громадности и смелости проекта стал прекрасным памятником выдающихся способностей и обширных сведений в строительном деле Панцера. Спуск находился в столице Польши, около Кирилловского замка, и вёл на воздвигнутый (в 1864 году) постоянный Александровский мост через реку Вислу. При своей же постройке спуск способствовал передвижению грузов с береговой части Вислы в центральную часть города. В состав спуска входит семь больших арок, из которых четыре открыты для проезда. Вторая, наибольшая часть спуска состоит из высокой земляной насыпи, ограниченной откосами в 45 градусов. В точке соприкосновения с арками насыпь возвышается на 65 футов. Варшавский спуск сооружен в 1846 году. За труды по производству этой работы строитель был награждён двухгодовым окладом жалованья (около 3000 российских рублей). Во время Второй мировой войны (в 1944 году, после восстания поляков) отступающие войска вермахта взорвали этот архитектурный памятник, как и Александровский мост.

В последующее время он составил проект снабжения водой города Варшавы и проект постоянного моста на pеке Висле под Варшавой; проекты были представлены на утверждение правительства, но осуществления не получили. Кроме того, он принимал участие в конкурсах, объявляемых за границей, в частности, составленный им проект Кельнского моста на Рейне, хотя и не был премирован, но показывает изобретательность автора.

Фелициан Феликс Панцер скончался 16 марта 1851 года в городе Варшаве.

Shakugan no Shana Movie
Jonathan Tappan October 7, 2007 June 15, 2008 Comments Off on Shakugan no Shana Movie
Since I really enjoyed the Shakugan no Shana television series I was eager to see the movie. Unfortunately it was a bit of a letdown.
The movie turns out to be a retelling of the first story arc of the TV series (the Friagne arc.) I'm OK with that in principle. That arc is a powerful story; some people consider it the best part of the series. I'm willing to judge the movie on its own terms without comparing it to the series–if they'll let me.
The obvious problem in an exercise like this is to take a story that originally fit into six 24-minute episodes and squeeze it into a 90-minute move without the result feel rushed and losing much of the emotional impact. They don't entirely succeed.
If I were doing this I would ruthlessly cut out three of the major characters: Kazumi, Margery Daw and Lamies. They aren't really needed for the first story (they weren't in the original novel) and they are included in the TV series to lay the groundwork for later story arcs.
They do remove Lamies, but Kazumi and Margery actually get their parts expanded. This is not to Kazumi's benefit; she is made into even more of a pitiful wimp. I really felt like throwing things at her. Margery is made into a good guy who starts cooperating with Shana the moment they meet, which actually makes her totally superfluous.
The ending is changed to something closer to the original novel (with the pointless addition of Margery.) This is actually more spectacular than the TV series, but it didn't touch me nearly as much. It seemed like more pyrotechnics and less feeling.
The things they leave out include the initial "first day of school" sequence from the series. This is not necessary to the plot, but the contrast between Yuuji's initial naive hopes and the horror that follows greatly increases the emotional impact of the TV series. The movie is left weaker as a result.
Infuriatingly they waste time on two sequences whose only purpose is to show us glimpses of Wilhelmina Carmel, who has no role at all in this story.
I see a pattern here. Kazumi, Margery and Wilhelmina are here wasting precious screen time because they are popular with fans of the TV series. So the purpose of the movie is to get fans of the TV series to go to the theater and pay to see a story that they have already seen on TV. They don't really care about making a movie for people who haven't seen the TV series.
If that is the goal, it would have been much fairer to tell a new story, a sequel to the TV series. As it is, fans would be much wiser to get out the DVDs of the TV series and rewatch the Friagne arc on them.

They made a lot of good changes in my opinion. The only thing I hated was the love triangle
_LiveLaughLove says:
There's a decent movie amongst the filler.
Handonmyballs_Barca says:
I enjoyed them, the only thing I found annoying is the amount of CGI. In the lord of the rings trilogy Jackson used the just the right amount of practical effects and CGI. In the hobbit CGI was used so much that it kind of yanked me out of the experience.
TheLoyalTR8R says:
I can justify just about everything in the Hobbit films by the simple fact that it's framed as Old Bilbo telling a story as he writes his book for Frodo.
He's a touch dramatic and embellishes here and there for the sake of story effect, therefore everything that happens in the films isn't an exact showing of what happened, but a retelling of how it seemed to him at the time, with a few changes from an eccentric old man trying to craft the perfect story for his heir.
FloridaOrk says:
OPs not supposed to do that! Shoot them or something!
ColdEchidna6 says:
Ngl I really liked the hobbits. I also like the liberties Jackson took. Let's be honest if it was a 1-1 retelling it would be a bit dry.
MaStEr_MeLoN15243 says:
GOOD CHANGES
1. Bilbo chose to go with the Dwarves
2. the entire opening scene/dinner
3. Radagast
4. Bilbo was the one to distract the Trolls
5. Gandalf's mission to Dol-Guldur (depends)
6. Smaug was smart and cunning
7. Dragon sickness showed more (just me?)
8. Thorin's death was more honourable and emotional
BAD CHANGES
1. The freakin love triangle
2. Azog replaced Bolg
3. The dwarves heights were not always shows
5. Thraundrial had no personality
Iwillrestoreprussia says:
I legitimately really like the Hobbit movies. I loved the hell out of Frodo, but I enjoy Bilbo more as a protagonist, mainly because I can relate to him more. As someone with Aspergers, I don't like doing anything different or going out of my "hobbit hole", and if I was forced to go on an adventure with people I didn't know, I'd probably be awkward and act the same way. (The moment in the first film when he takes the stew for Fili and Kili along while they scout the troll is totally me).
I also enjoy that unlike Frodo, Bilbo isn't a burden and the dwarves come to legitimately respect him and be friend him. I know people weren't a fan of Bilbo earning Thorins respect so early on, but I really like it. I especially like their interactions in the second film, how they actually seem like friends (not on the intense friendship of Frodo and Sam, but friends where they hold each other in high regard).
I actually like Azog as a villain, and it gives thorin a more menacing foe to fight and links the three movies together.
ShYGuY89678 says:
WhodatWhodatdothat says:
Yeah. When lotr came out I was a child, when the hobbit came out I was late teens/early adult. I expected an adventure that is impossible to give to an adult, which has nothing to do with the movies but brain developement. I have no doubt would have adored the hobbit as a kid
Varvatos_Vex says:
Love the hobbit films. I get why people don't. Everyone is different
Norbert_Sykes says:
I agree. The love triangle was, meh, but I liked that they added Tauriel. It gave a strong female presence in the movie. I know it's not a purists version, but I really liked how they explained what Gandalf was doing during his time away from the company.
indyK1ng says:
I only saw the first one and the reason for that is that was that it was obvious from the start the same level of care wasn't being taken. I couldn't place my finger on it until the end but eventually I realized they couldn't keep the heights of Bilbo and the dwarves consistent. I wrote off the whole trilogy as a bit of a cash grab then.
Knowing now about the problems they had behind the scenes, I'd give them more leeway but I wouldn't seek them out.
ChildishDoritos says:
lenaleenii says:
martin freeman shouldnt have been cast as bilbo
XianL says:
So we're getting close to prequelmeme status for the Hobbit movies then. Where people joke around so much about these shitty movies that they convince themselves they're actually good.


I learned years go from my mom to stick an open top box of baking soda in my fridge to help keep it smelling good. Every three months we would toss the old box out and add a new one. The sachets are also refillable.
Adult socks Use any color or pattern you like!
Baking Soda This absorbs absorbs wonderfully!
Tea Tree Oil OPTIONAL but since you have some you might as well use it for it's anti-fungal properties.
Bling OPTIONAL for those of you who like to go extra fancy! i.e. flowers, buttons, beads etc.
Cut sock as shown. If you're using a tube sock you can make them longer if desired.
Cut the sock about an inch above the heel. It will be trimmed later. For tube socks cut about 7″ up from the toe.
Throw the top part of the sock away.
Use a drinking cup that is normal size in diameter or smaller. Put the sock down into it.
Pull the edges down just over the cup. I'd suggest putting a rubber band around it otherwise the sock might slip off the cup.
Fill the sock with approximately 1/2 cup baking soda. You can use more if you want a longer sachet.
The key is to get it a nice size that fits down into the shoe while keeping enough sticking up on top to tie.
Place a rubber band down close to the squished ball of baking soda.
Cut the top to the length you want sticking up, if its too long. Some socks may fray a little, so feel free to use pinking shears on the end. To add flowers slide the stems down under the rubber band.
Next, tie the ribbon around the sock, over the rubber band and make a bow. These are meant to be refillable as the baking soda typically needs changed every 3 months.
We also did a masculine set using help string.
We threaded a bead on each end.
Then tie each end so the bead won't fall off.
You'll make two of each type, of course. Stick them down into each shoe and that's how you get rid of smelly shoes! The soda should be changed every 3 months as it becomes saturated with the odors from the shoes.
Thanks Becky. You know, I actually thought of that but I had the shot ready to take so I didn't. I'm going to go in the post and mention it though.

Деспотат — територія, якою управляє деспот

З середини 14-го століття різні території Візантії, були передані імперськими князями деспотам, щоб вони правили, як напівавтономні держави, деякі з яких стали широко відомі як "деспотати" (од. δεσποτάτον по-грецьки ), головним чином, Епірський деспотат та Морейський деспотат.

Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) Ethiopian Muslims, who constitute around 40 % of the estimated 80 million population, are celebrating their Maulid with various activities, as part of Ethiopia�s Millennium celebrations held last September.
In Addis Ababa where many Muslim communities are living, the day is being celebrated in a very attractive fashion.
Some Muslims told APA that this year�s Maulid is being celebrated in a colourful mood, which is being observed as part of the Ethiopian Millennium celebrations.
The Ethiopian Muslim holidays, like the rest of world, are based on the lunar calendar and thus fall at different times each year.
The Ethiopian Muslim community were busy on Wednesday buying different things for the celebration of Maulid, which is regarded as a Holy day.
On the day, after praying and listening to the imam (religious leader) preach, Ethiopian Muslims sacrifice animals and distribute part of the meat to the poor.
The Muslims observe the day with their Christian neighbours.
Many Muslims invite their Christian neighbours to their homes where they will have Ethiopian traditional food and drinks together.
The Muslims prepare special food, as well as give meat to their Christian neighbors.
�We are celebrating the day with Christian neighbors as we are doing like other holidays. We are happy to celebrate this year�s Millennium Maulid,� Fetya Hassen, an Ethiopian Muslim, who was celebrating the day with her Christian neighbors told APA.
Gifts are presented on the day where many Muslims buy various gifts both for their Muslim friends and other neighbors.
Colourful processions are held during this time of celebrations, with dancing, singing, and feasting also being included in the festivities.
This year, the prices sheep and goats are quite high compared to the previous year.
Big goats and sheep cost around $50 and $60 while the small one is around $35 and chicken is around $3 and $4.
