Vision of laparoscopy
Prof. Dr. R. K. Mishra
One of the major limitations of minimal access surgery is the loss of depth perception. The surgeon works with an artificial two dimensional video pictures available on the monitor. There is a need to develop some mechanism to improve depth perception or stereoscopic vision. This article describes the principles of laparoscopic imaging system presently available for surgeons, with historical background and recent advancement in endoscopic visual technology.
What is Stereopsis ?
Stereopsis is from the Greek word for "solid sight", and thus refers to perception of three-dimensional shape from any source of depth information. Unlike horses, humans have two eyes located side-by-side in the front of their heads. Thanks to the close side-by-side positioning, each eye takes a view of the same area from a slightly different angle. The two eyes have different views of the visual world and these different views setup disparities that give us information about relative depth of the image that is third dimension of vision. Binocular disparity results when image of an object falls on different areas of the two retinas and binocular vision or stereopsis is impression of depth resulting from differences in the images on these two retinas. We lost stereoscopic vision in laparoscopy because both the eye see same two dimensional picture available on the monitor.
Physiology of three dimensional vision:
Human eye is sensitive for the electromagnetic wavelength between 400 to 700 nanometres. The "electromagnetic energy" in the range of approximately "400 to 700 nm", which the human eye can transduce, is called "light The eyes transduce light energy in the electromagnetic spectrum into nerve impulses.
In 1838 Charles Wheatstone published the first paper on stereopsis entitled "On some remarkable and hitherto unobserved, phenomena of binocular vision". In this Wheatstone pointed out that the positional differences in the two eyes' images due to their horizontal separation yielded depth information. Prior to this time the principal problem in the study of binocular vision was: how is the world seen as single when we have two different views of it? People thought that only objects with the same visual directions, falling on corresponding points would be seen as single, all other points would be double. By means of the stereoscope that he invented Wheatstone demonstrated that not only does the stimulation of non-corresponding points yield singleness of vision, it also results in the perception of depth.
Picture showing difference in angle of light on different retinas
Cells in visual cortex are sensitive for binocular vision some cells are sensitive for corresponding areas of the left and right retinas and some have sensation for non corresponding areas of the two retinas and the difference in image on the two retinas of eye is perceived by cortex as a depth. Binocular disparity provides the visual system with information concerning the three-dimensional layout of the environment. Recent physiological studies in the primary visual cortex provide a successful account of the mechanisms by which single neurons are able to signal disparity.
Recent studies of visual perception have begun to reveal the connection between neuronal activity in the brain and conscious visual experience. Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human occipital lobe disrupts the normal perception of objects in ways suggesting that important aspects of visual perception are based on activity in early visual cortical areas. Recordings made with microelectrodes in animals suggest that the perception of the lightness and depth of visual surfaces develops through computations performed across multiple brain areas.
Even though the picture on the monitor is two dimensional the operator can assume some depth due to different cues for monocular vision. This is known as "depth cue".
Different depth cues. The depth cue which are crossed, we lost in minimal access surgery.
Among all the depth cue mentioned above in chart only few monocular are available on the monitor screen. Oculomotor binocular depth cue like convergence, accommodation and stereopsis is lost on the today's 2D monitor screen.
Even though the picture is two dimensional, these depth cue helps our brain to interpret a two dimensional image into virtual three dimensional feeling. Today the picture on the screen is 2D but our brain is continuously converting this 2D image in 3D by the help of different monocular depth cues. This conversion of two dimensional picture into three dimensional picture by brain helps the surgeon to perform a task in laparoscopic surgery.
Chronological development in laparoscopic visual techniques:
Minimal access surgery depends on the working through artificial light in closed cavity. In the past, endoscopic procedures were done without the aid of monitors. The operator visualised the interiors of the patient directly through the eye- piece of the scope.
In 1826 Segalas of France designed and built a urethroscope. He used an introductory cannula and mirrors for light.
In 1867 Bruck, a Dentist from Breslau, made a platinum wire loop which he heated with electric current, and used that as a light source for purpose of surgery.
Since the 1950's there has been an enormous growth of technology in Minimal access surgery.
Kalk of Germany has been dubbed 'the father of laparoscopy'. He wrote papers on the subject from 1929 to 1959 and he devised a foroblique viewing system for use on his work with liver and gallbladder disease. It is his methods that have widely been adopted and are in use today.
Hopkins (1950) discovered rod lens system for laparoscopy. With the help of fibre optic cable it became possible to visualise the intra abdominal structure.
In 1956 Soulas in France reported the first televised bronchoscopy. In those days the figure on the TV shown for bronchoscopy was black and white, a rigid bronchoscope was attached to a black and white camera that weighed about 100 lbs.
In 1959 a laparoscopic procedure was demonstrated using a closed circuit television program using the "Fourestier method ". This method was developed by transmitting an intense beam of light along a quartz rod from the proximal to distal ends of the laparoscope
In 1960 the first endoscopic camera was developed in a surgical department in Melbourne, Australia. During the 1970s box-sized colour cameras were developed which lead to great improvement to video display.
By 1984, palm-size solid- state cameras were available for use in endoscopic surgery. The introduction of the charged- coupled- device (CCD) image sensors was the pivotal moment in the modern era of endoscopic video systems. The use of a CCD chip camera attached to a choledescope during choledochotomy was first reported in 1985.
The first report of the routine use of television laparoscopy was published in 1986.
Latest advancement in laparoscopic Imaging techniques:
The development and evaluation of stereoscopic systems has been the centre of interest for research in the last few years. The first stereoscopic system was a rectoscopic system. After that research focussed upon stereoscopic systems using video techniques.
This latest advancement in endocamera technology involves the mounting of two micro cameras on the tip of a laparoscope. Two separate image signals are captured and alternately transmitted to the monitor with a frequency of 100 Hz. Two different techniques exist for presenting the left eye with the image from the left camera and the right from the right.
The first method, "with glasses", requires the surgeon to wear active-liquid-crystal shutter-glasses that receive the signal from an infrared transmitter. The alternate optical shuttering of the glasses is controlled by the transmitted signals. As a result the view of left eye is obstructed when the right-image signal is displayed on the monitor and vice versa. A total of 60 pictures each are presented separately to each eye in this way during one second. The brain is then able to compose a 3-D image from this array of image signals.
The second technique, "without glasses", adopts the same principle but in this case the shutter is placed in front of the video monitor. This large liquid -crystal shutter changes polarization and synchronizes with the respective eye. The surgeon wears a passive eyewear, fitted with right circular polarized lens in the right eye and a left circular polarized lens in the left eye. The right eye and left eye then is each able to only view the respective similarly polarized image signal. In this way a 3-D image is composed in the brain.
The improved depth perception with 3-D systems does not always translate into improved performance of laparoscopic tasks. Some studies have demonstrated faster motor performance of specific Laparoscopic tasks when using the 3-D camera system compared to the 2-D camera system. On the other hand the loss of depth perception when using 2-D is well compensated by the monocular human eye in Laparoscopic surgery. This is accomplished using a wide array of available cues- moving parallax, relative position, accommodation, and familiar size. The need for the surgeon to use eyewear during surgery is bothersome and causes some surgeons to fell dizziness. The present study has shown that endoscopic task performance improves with a shadow inducing arrangement.
A telescope with light delivering through a separate illumination cannula was developed by Schurr MO et al in 1996.
Shadow telescope by Schurr MO et al 1996
With slight modification in 1999 the Section for Minimally-Invasive Surgery, University of Tbingen, and MGB Endoskopische Gerte GmbH Berlin Company introduce a new shadow telescope.
Shadow telescope.
This shadow telescope is a rigid 10 mm - endoscope with 30 view direction and uses additional illumination fibres ending in an optimised distance behind the front lens. This arrangement of illumination fibres creates a more natural and more plastic appearance, a better balanced contrast and a well-dosed visible shadow. The shadow gives additional secondary space clues and therefore improves orientation and judgement of the three-dimensional properties.
In these shadow telescope angle between the first and second source of illumination is fixed and due to this shadow is also fixed. The second problem with this telescope is that the light which is creating shadow comes from below but we do not usually experience getting illuminated from the floor. All the light in our day to day life is coming from above and most of the time the shadow we are seeing lies below the object but in this telescope the shadow is above the object and so the shadow seems to be unnatural.
Future possibilities in Laparoscopic imaging technique
A new development is the use of virtual reality surgical simulators for training is now a days available at university of Europe. The unit is currently assessing the validity of a number of these systems, with a view to incorporating them on our training programs in the near future.
Virtual reality is one of the good research and development areas in the laparoscopic imaging technique today. There are a number of ways in which virtual reality technology can be employed to create more intuitive ways for humans and computers to work together. In the past 5 years, many different laparoscopic procedures have been shown to be effective and now are an accepted part of surgical practice so we hope new technology will come soon in minimal access surgery.
Virtual reality future was also influenced by film techniques such as stereoscopic, or 3-D cinema. Cinerama, the best-known of these technologies, sought to expand the movie-going experience by filling a larger portion of the audience's visual field. Three cameras, shooting from slightly different angles, were used to film each scene in a Cinerama movie. The film was then synchronized and projected onto three large screens that curved inward, wrapping around the audience's peripheral visual field. This technology proved too costly to be embraced by most commercial theatres, but the theory of visual immersion would go on to become an important Virtual reality element.
It is also possible to experience virtual worlds without using immersion devices. New technology such as The PHANTOM, developed at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab, creates the illusion of touching virtual objects. Simulation Virtual reality, widely found in games arcades and parks, use a combination of video monitors and movable pods or platforms to create virtual experiences. The Magic Edge, for example, a combination restaurant/bar in Mountain View, California, offers virtual reality flight simulators that let would-be fighter pilots battle each other over a fully rendered virtual landscape. It is even possible to enter virtual worlds through a desktop computer, although the high cost of the equipment involved makes it difficult to create a truly immersive Virtual reality event. Progress in laparoscopy has been facilitated by rapid developments in technology, namely virtual reality microprocessors camera light source and instrumentation. We hope Continued advancements will simplify surgical techniques and expand the applications of laparoscopy with new visual techniques.

It's the second largest media market in the US. It's the city of glitz, glamour, and infinite opportunities. It's the entertainment capital of the world. Yet, it fails to keep an NFL team. What seems to be the problem in Los Angeles?
No NFL team has called Los Angeles home since 1995, when the Rams played at the LA Coliseum. That's a 20 year gap since an NFL team has snapped a football on LA turf. To put things in perspective, a digitally added yellow first down line hadn't even existed the last time LA had a football team. While there has been lots of recent speculations and proposals about having a team (or two) in LA, realistically when is it going to happen.
One of the biggest problems, I believe, LA faces is being able to have the fan loyalty and support of the team(s). As we all know, LA has an extremely fickle fanbase that is quick to lose interest if the team is not performing well. Just ask Laker Nation. LA residents are simply spoiled when it comes to storied franchises that have built their legacies in LA. In addition, there are many other distractions and amusements going on 365 days a year in LA, that could be a detriment to accumulating fan commitment. There's a specific reason why the Green Bay Packers tickets are sold out for the next few decades, and its not just because they're a good team. The bottomline is that the only way to guarantee fan loyalty in LA, is to win. Plain and simple.
The main, and most legitimate, proposition for an NFL team in LA has been for a two team deal to come to Los Angeles. Both the Chargers and Raiders have announced plans to move into a $1.7 billion stadium in Carson, CA. This is quite an intriguing proposition for both teams. While passionate fans of both franchises have voiced their disgust behind the potential move and merge, the NFL cannot veto an owner from moving a team. Not to mention, the Rams have also threw their name in the LA sweepstakes hat, as they intend to propose a $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood.
It appears as if some cat fights will be inevitable as LA figures out these proposed moves. At this time it's not a matter of if, but when. After all, it only makes sense that the #2 market in the nation is home to a team of the #1 sport in the nation.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday. I love all the wonderful food and the enjoyment of family and friends without the obligation of gift giving. (As Seth Godin wrote, no gifts, no guilt, no doctrine.) Most of us get a 4-day weekend away from work. But it is not a holiday for project managers. In fact, it may be the most stressful holiday a PM can experience.
First of all, you need some planning and organizational skills to pull off a good Thanksgiving event. Thanksgiving is the superbowl of holidays in that it demands that you work in advance to make the day a success. You have to plan out the attendees, the menu, the agenda, and even the seating chart. You have to create a menu and then use that to create a master bill of materials for shopping and a cooking schedule. You have to shop ahead of time and prepare some dishes days in advance. How many of us have a story about waking up to a frozen turkey on Thanksgiving morning and doing everything short of microwaving it to make sure dinner was not delayed for hours? We've learned to develop contingency plans for major risks like this.
Project managers also tend to be control freaks. We want to make sure we control the event to get just the perfect outcome. So we are challenged when we rely on others to make the day a success or when we have to give up control to others. For the most controlling of control freaks, we choose to take on the entire event ourselves. We want perfect and we don't want to put the fate of our event in the hands of others. So we do it all ourselves. We may wind up cooking all day and not really enjoying either the meal or being in relationship with others.
Our desired to control can also play out when we visit others for Thanksgiving. In fact, showing up for Thanksgiving dinner at someone else's house can be more stressful than hosting Thanksgiving at our own. Should I eat beforehand because I never know when they are going to serve dinner and I fear starving to death? What is the appropriate dish to add to the many that will already be there? How will I make my dish stand out from the others, so that I can look good? Are they going to burn the dinner rolls again this year or have the football game blaring so loud that nobody can talk?
The worst part for project manager is seeing others do project management so poorly. Like not properly planning for the finish-finish dependency on the various cooked items with the turkey. Or not planning for enough chairs around the table. Or forgetting to plan out the menu to avoid the last minute trips to the store. Good project managers are so accustomed to structure and organization that we erroneously believe we need to apply this thinking to Thanksgiving. Bringing in Thanksgiving dinner on schedule and budget may not be necessary or even desirable.
Take for example the argument my wife and I nearly always have about how to accomplish a group of tasks. As a project manager, I recognize that the most efficient use of time and resources is to divide up the tasks and assign them individually so that many tasks can be done in parallel. This runs me afoul of my wife's approach which is to do things as a group, which of course, is just not very efficient. When she proposes that we all work together as a team to do this or that, I just want to scream at her about how dumb that is and how much better it would be to divide and conquer.
Which brings me back to the reason I wrote this post. Thanksgiving is not a holiday that you need to project manage. Yes the day could benefit from some basic planning and organization concepts, but, for the most part it doesn't require any of that. You don't need to labor over a plan and a task list worthy of a D-day invasion, you don't need to have bi-weekly conference calls with your family members and other stakeholders, you don't need to have the day scripted and timed. Instead, you could ad lib, be spontaneous, and invite others to pitch in and help when and where it is needed.
I am actually at my best at Thanksgiving when I take a break from those key PM skills to be a human, to engage with those around me, and to be in relationship. With plenty of therapy and some coaching from my wife, I have come to appreciate that even as a project manager, I can let go a little bit and just enjoy Thanksgiving for what it is. I have come to expect that I will be sent out on the last minute shopping trip on Thursday afternoon but I will do it in community with my brother-in-law. In fact, this excursion has become a part of our holiday ritual and we joke around with the other men that we see out at the supermarket on that trip.
I relax now and don't try to control the food as it is cooking or worry about whether they started the green beans too early or if the dinner rolls are going to burn. I strive to be a good team player; supportive without being controlling. And I enjoy doing the unglamorous work of cleaning up the dishes afterwards.
I recognized how far I had come this year when I was able to laugh when my two-year neice smashed her plate of food on the floor right behind me during dinner. Life is too short to freak out over that type of thing. Instead, I am reminded of how grateful I am to have my health, my family, and a bounty of resources.

For the most part, Mitt Romney's education platform—a move away from Bush and Obama's federal accountability measures– reflects contemporary GOP orthodoxy. To a lesser degree, he has spoken favorably about Obama's Race to the Top effort. During Wednesday night's debate, however, he floated two ed reform ideas that don't seem broadly popular with anyone.
First, he suggested states "grade" schools "so parents know which schools are succeeding and failing." No Child Left Behind already mandates states do this, and it's among the least popular of the law's provisions. One of the reasons the Obama administration issued Get-Out-Of-NCLB-Free waivers was to mitigate the law's stigmatizing effect on poorly graded schools–especially since states that strive for high standards inevitably have more "failing" schools than states with lower standards. But rather than replace state standards with more uniform grades, or doing away with "report cards" altogether, he's decided to double down.
If Romney's support for "report cards" originated as a centrist Bush-era idea, his other unorthodox idea comes from the left-wing confines of the education policy world: A proposal to let disabled and low-income students take their federal Title I and IDEA dollars with them to other school districts. As Dana Goldstein noted in Slate this week, this is something of a progressive, even radical, idea.
Coming from a Republican, this is a big deal: Historically, affluent and white parents and school districts have gone to great lengths to keep poor, nonwhite kids out of their own kids' classrooms. Those of us concerned about the resegregation of American schools have long advocated for more partnerships between urban and suburban districts, through magnet schools and voluntary busing programs. But this is typically understood as such a lefty proposition that not even the Democratic Party will embrace it.
In other words, under Romney, the federal government might subsidize a de facto busing/school integration program the likes of which the Obama administration hasn't come close to proposing.
What's striking about both plans is they reflect completely different approaches to school choice. In the first, Romney is proposing that states grade schools as they have been under NCLB. Except, rather than have the federal government penalize "failing" schools, parents would simply try to move their kids out of them if they performed badly. In the second, he's suggesting we allow disadvantaged children to enter more affluent neighborhoods, primarily by leveraging federal funds. In each case, school choice is the goal. But in one, states and parents provide the impetus; in the other, the federal government does. Perhaps more strikingly, considering their author, neither plan appears to be an obvious pander to any particular constituency. They seem to be genuinely opposite reflections of a coherent, if flawed, choice-first education philosophy.

I cannot support any of the candidates thus far running for president because none of them supports me and my people in the ways we need to be supported. This is not just about gay marriage, which has become a nonspecific red herring for non-specific maybes. (Why do you hate us so that you will not permit us to legally love?) Of course we want gay marriage, but that is not all we want. We want safety. (We are the only people in America that it is socially and legally acceptable to hate and discriminate against.) We want no more taxation without representation. (When I die, our government gobbles such an unconscionable amount of my estate that my partner will no longer be able to afford the house we both have put so much of our money and energy into.) We want the approximately 2,000 benefits our government provides to heterosexual married couples. (Why don't we get them? We pay the same taxes they do.) In other words, we want equality. We want everything straight people have and get and are entitled to. And there is not one candidate who has come anywhere near offering anywhere near any of this. In fact, I am afraid that there is not a one of them who, when push comes to shove, would not continue to sell us down the river. In fact, I have come to believe that forbidding us all of these things we are entitled to is based on hate, pure and simple. There are, by some estimates, 20 million of us. But we don't make as much noise as our enemies do. In fact, we don't make any noise at all. More fools we.

The Saturday edition of the Moscow Pullman Daily News carries a regular column contributed by one of these five area libraries: Latah County Library District; Neill Public Library; University of Idaho; Whitman County Library District; and Washington State University Libraries. We reprint the most recent columns here, with permission.
Commentary: Library buildings have history worth knowing
By Erin Davis
The Merriam Webster dictionary defines library as "a place in which literary, musical, artistic, or reference materials (such as books, manuscripts, recordings or films) are kept for use but not for sale." You will recognize your local library as a building where: your community can gather for events; your children can gain valuable reading skills through children's programming; you have access to Wi-Fi and computer services; and where you can access thousands of items to take home and enjoy for free.
It is important to remember that the buildings that hold this treasury of knowledge also hold a place in the history of our communities. There are seven locations in the Latah County Library District system, all providing public libraries to their communities. Each building has a unique and interesting history.
The Moscow Library opened in March of 1901 in one room of the Brown Building in downtown Moscow with 115 donated books. Eventually, a lot was purchased on the corner of Second and Jefferson streets, and a Mission-style structure funded by Andrew Carnegie was completed in 1906 for just under $10,000. 1982 saw the last major remodel and addition to the original Carnegie building. The Moscow branch serves as headquarters of the Latah County Library District and houses the district's administration, adult services, youth services, branch services and technical services departments.
The Juliaetta Community Library is housed in what used to be the top story of a building built in 1898. The ground floor was removed and the second floor was placed on a foundation at the current site. This building housed the Rebekahs for more than 50 years and was donated to the city for use as a library in 1977. Remnants of the original use are still evident in the design of the interior space.
The Troy Community Library was opened in the summer of 1977 and was originally located in an office building on Main Street. A lot was donated by Key Bank of Idaho and a new library building was constructed with generous donations from Chet and Violet Whittaker and fundraising efforts by the Friends of the Troy Library. The new library, with its red brick exterior and arched windows facing onto Main Street, was dedicated September 1994.
The Deary library opened in 1981 in a tiny cinderblock building on the east side of town. Members of the Deary community volunteered their time to build the current home of the library on a parcel of land donated for that purpose at a cost of about $10,000. The Deary library has been in its new quarters since 1988.
Bovill's current library building was moved in from Elk River and was a Catholic church prior to the existing remodel, when it was turned into a library in 1997. The White family donated the money to fix up the building while the land and the building itself were donated by a local Bovill family. The facility opened in July 1999, after hundreds of hours of volunteer labor in renovations and upgrades.
The Potlatch library began in 1908 as a public reading room in the basement of the Union Church, primarily serving as a place where the company town's many bachelors could spend their leisure time. In 1930, the Potlach Lumber Company provided a building, and the library moved into the frame structure that had served as the community's first hospital. In 1971, a new building was built at 635 Pine Street from donations by local patrons and businesses. In August of 1998, enough funds had been secured to win a matching federal grant and construction of a new facility was completed in January 2000.
The Genesee Community Library was opened in 1969. The library moved to the American Legion building in Genesee in 1976 after the original building was determined to be inadequate. The library is still housed in this location, adjacent to the senior center and Genesee City Hall.
These buildings are local landmarks in their respective communities and are open to everyone. Take a drive sometime and visit these buildings to explore the varied differences that bring these neighborhoods together.

One of the most rewarding and thrilling things that we do in our industry is designing with the most beautiful and exquisite flowers. No two client briefs for projects are ever the same. The sheer plethora of things to consider to create that bespoke couture mix for each project is vast. That being said though, it can often be the simplest of details that dictate the entire flavour of a scheme.
Schemes are first and foremost driven by colour choice. We like to work to a limited palette but this can be challenged within an entire project by zoning areas and offering juxtaposition of colour wheels and block planting.
We work to many planting style principles and like to challenge ourselves within these parameters on a seasonal basis. Over the course of 2018 we will be sharing some of our bespoke planting schemes in design detail and discussing how ideas evolved and what factors informed our concepts. These Journal postings will also give you direct access to our Design Barn and test fields through our exploration into the next wave of new and exciting floral frontiers.
We are always trialling and testing at our Design Barn to achieve cutting edge schemes. Join us again throughout the next year for our continuing Floral Couture movement.


The state of heart has more to do than exegesis with the understanding of this passage. Yet important doctrines, or rather facts and truths relative to Christ, are connected with these remarkable verses. I shall try to bring out the position in which the ever blessed Saviour is found here, although the appreciation of the bearing of these verses depends, after all, on the spirituality of the heart. It will be understood that doctrines about Christ are connected with them, when one knows that verses 43 and 44 have been omitted by more than one manuscript, evidently because according to the view taken by the copyists they made Christ too much a man. Now it is this which gives to these verses their true value: Christ, in the Gospel of Luke, is essentially man. We there find Him in prayer much oftener than in the other Gospels. Thus, after His baptism by John, it was whilst He prayed that heaven was opened upon Him; it was whilst He prayed that He was transfigured; chap. 9. So also He had passed all the night in prayer before choosing the twelve disciples; chap. 6:12. All this is exceedingly interesting, yea, of profound interest for the heart.
But other elements present themselves in the consideration of these verses which are before us. An immense change was taking place at this time in the position of the Saviour. Until then He had, by His divine power, provided for all the wants of His disciples, entirely disowned as He was, and in appearance dependent on the kindness of a few women (for it was their particular privilege thus to devote themselves to Him), or of other persons, for His daily bread — if needed, a fish. They brought Him exactly what was necessary to supply His wants. And when He sends His disciples to preach in the cities of the glorious land, He knows how to turn the hearts so that they lacked nothing. But He was to be rejected. The things concerning Him were to receive their divine and wonderful solution, and to be accomplished according to the depth of the counsels of God. He was going, not to shelter His disciples from every evil, but not to shelter Himself, and to be exposed to the outrages of those who said, "He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him." Christ was not yet drinking the cup of wrath. This was accomplished on the cross; it was there, that which He suffered from the hand of God, supreme and expiatory in its nature. But the moment was come which He Himself described by these words: "This is now your hour, and the power of darkness." The hour of temptation, not of wrath but of temptation, when the Saviour must have thought at the same time of the terrible cup that was before Him. The enemy tried to overwhelm Him by the circumstances, before which human nature, as such, would shrink; and in view of the forsaking of God amidst these circumstances. The Saviour entered at this moment into the trial; but He entered into it perfect in every way, receiving the cup in obedience from the hand of His Father. As to the circumstances, and as to that which weighed upon His soul, Satan and the men under his power were everything: as to the state of His soul, they were nothing; His Father was everything. This is one of the most perfect and profound instructions for all our troubles.
318 It is to this supreme hour that the apostle John alludes when he says, more than once, when no one touched nor could touch the Lord: "His hour was not yet come." But I would enter into some further consideration of the character of this hour of temptation. The Lord in His grace deigned, led by the Spirit, to allow Himself to be tempted, having associated Himself with us to take part in our miseries and troubles. Satan tempted Him at the beginning by all that which (sin apart) induces man to act from his own will, that which leads him into sin when he listens to his own will — the need of food, the world and its glory, the promises outside the path of obedience and in distrust of God and of His faithfulness.
But the Second man maintained His integrity, and Satan could not succeed in making Him depart from the path of the Man of God. The strong man was bound and Christ returns, with the power of the Spirit, being untouched in His soul, "to spoil him of his goods." He delivered all those who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him; He was the Man who conquered, gaining the victory over Satan, as the first man had broken down. By the Spirit of God He cast out demons; the kingdom of God was there. All the effects of the dominion of Satan disappeared before Him, even death itself. Alas! this did not change man's heart; who was, in the affections of his flesh, enmity against God. Death was needed for the redemption of man; quite a new state of being, his reconciliation with God; the righteousness of God was to be glorified; the claim that Satan had over man by sin in death and that by the judgment of God, was to be destroyed and annulled. The righteous vengeance of God against that which was hostile to Himself was to be manifested. So that all the enmity of man against God, all the anguish of death viewed as the power of Satan and the judgment of God, all the energy of Satan, and lastly the wrath of God (and it is bearing in the latter that expiation has been accomplished) were to meet on Jesus, and did meet on the head of the Lamb of God, who opened not His mouth before His oppressors. Terrible testimony shewing that the hour of man and of his will is the power of darkness! The hour of God in righteousness for man is but the righteous wrath which abandons Him, and finally excludes from His presence him who is in hostility against Him. What powerful and infinite proof of grace, that Christ tasted this in His grace; that God gave Him that we might escape it, that Christ tasted it, offering Himself without spot to God for that! Outwardly the power of Satan and the malice of men led Christ to death and the cup of God's wrath. And it is thus that the perfection of Christ knows how to separate absolutely these two parts of suffering, and to turn the terrible suffering, from the power of Satan in death, into perfect obedience to God His Father, because He passed through that fearful hour of temptation with God, and without entering into it one moment as a temptation which might have for its effect in Him to awaken His own will. Such is Gethsemane; not the cup, but all the power of Satan in death and the enmity of man taking their revenge (so to speak) on God ("the reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me"): all perfectly and entirely felt, but brought to God in an entire submission to His will. It is the Christ — marvellous scene! — watching, praying, struggling in the highest degree; all the power and the weight of death pressed upon His soul by Satan, and augmented by the sense He had of what they were before God, from whose face nothing then hid Him. But He always kept His Father absolutely before His face, referring everything to the Father's will, without flinching for a moment, or trying to escape that will by giving way to His own. Thus He takes nothing from Satan or men, but all from God. When He is well assured that it is the will of His Father that He should drink this cup, all is decided for Him. "The cup which my Father hath given, shall I not drink it?" All was between Him and His Father, the obedience is calm and perfect. What ineffable victory, what supreme calmness! suffering, yea, but between Himself and God! Satan now was as nothing, men were the instruments of the will of God, or the redeemed of His grace. See what happens when they come; Jesus went forth, and when He announced Himself, they fell to the ground. He voluntarily offers Himself to accomplish the work, and thus permits those to go in safety, who had no strength to shelter themselves, to subsist in that terrible moment when the triumph of good or of evil was to be decided, and where the righteousness of God against sin lent its force to the power of death and the malice of those who were the voluntary slaves of him who possessed the power of death.
320 The perfect bond of love has overcome through the subjection of Christ as Man to the judgment against sin, by which righteousness can triumph in blessing according to love; the expiation of sin has been made, and the power of Satan and of death annulled for him who comes to God by Jesus. But Luke 22:39-44 presents to us Christ conscious of that which was to happen, and, as man, occupied in communion with His Father, with this final and decisive trial. Was He to enter into the temptation, that is to say, to yield to a will of His own, even by desiring to escape death and the cup of judgment, or to find an occasion of obedience, instead of sparing Himself? For Him obedience, however terrible the sufferings, was the joy and breathing of His soul.
Not to dread the judgment of God would have been insensibility; to avoid it would have been to fail as to the will of His Father, since for this cause He came to this hour. It would have been to fail as regards the salvation of man, in which the whole character of God revealed itself even to the angels. But here Christ does not draw the character of this moment from elevating and encouraging motives, but He goes through it in entire subjection to the will of God with all the pain attached to it. He prays. Verse 43 puts the question in all its simplicity. An angel appeared to Him to strengthen Him. It is a man having need of help from on high. If He had not been that, it could not have been the deliverance of man.
321 The pressure of anguish only became stronger on realising the evil with which He had to do; but this struggling agony of soul is only expressed by more intense prayer. His soul attached itself more strongly to God, and He rises — having perfectly gone through the valley of the shadow of death, the power of Satan, the horror of evil as opposed to God — He rises victorious. The cup which His Father would give Him He will drink. Then it will not be a question of struggling, watching, or praying, but of subjection. A perfect calmness marks the cross, a calmness of darkness where man's eye does not penetrate; but the subjection is perfect. Here goes out the cry, "Why hast thou forsaken me?" "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel." It was perfection, the perfection of suffering; of subjection, but not a struggle, where the soul cleaves to God in order not to enter into the temptation, a temptation — mark it well — not by means of something agreeable, but of all the power of evil, of death, of Satan, who tried to make the Saviour shrink before the awful cup which was found on the path of obedience, the cup which produced our salvation, and the glory of Jesus as man. On the cross, in the solemn hour of expiation, all takes place between the soul of Christ and God. In Gethsemane, the Christ, in presence of all the efforts of Satan, cleaves to God so as not to enter into temptation, but follow the path of obedience low as it brought Him. Now He descended into the lower parts of the earth, alone, forsaken, betrayed, denied, and, lastly, abandoned of God — perfect, victorious, obedient, the Saviour of those who obey Him. And notice here, therefore, that in Gethsemane, infinite as were His sufferings compared with all ours, Christ is an example to us. We have to watch and to pray, to struggle in prayer perhaps, so as not to enter into temptation. Sometimes even, when some affliction comes upon us by our own fault (in Christ no doubt it was the fault of others), it is difficult to submit to the ways of God. It is the same thing when, in one way or another, the path of obedience and of uprightness, the path of life, is painful. A more easy path, more verdant to the eyes of the flesh, is to be found by the side of it. Then in our little troubles our portion is that of the Saviour, to watch and to pray so as not to enter into temptation. The trying path (see Psalm 16) is the path of life. There God is found; there is the deliverance for His glory and for our own. May God keep us in it! We need His grace, we need sometimes to struggle in the presence of God, to hold good; but He who overcame is with us. And if we have gone through the trouble of circumstances with God, the circumstances themselves will be but the occasion of obedience when in fact they do happen. This is the secret of practical life.
322 In the expiation, it is evident that Christ was our substitute, and is not our example except in the fact of His perfect subjection. There were, doubtless, on the cross, profound sufferings of body and soul, where Christ was a perfect example of patience for us; but in speaking of the cross we are pretty well accustomed, and rightly, to have the moment of expiation before our minds. It is in this sense only that I make a difference, as to the example. It is important in these days to maintain as clearly as possible the idea of substitution where Christ was alone, of suffering in which we had no part but by our sins. One is willing to have Christ as a burnt offering, a Christ who offers Himself (we, by grace, can offer ourselves, we ought to do it); but a Christ who is a sacrifice for sin some often will not have. Are we to suffer for our sins and to bear them? Morally speaking, there is a glory in expiation, in the cross, which is not found even in glory. I shall share the glory of Christ with Him, by the infinite grace which vouchsafed it to me. Could I have shared the cross? The Christian knows what he has to reply. May God teach us in exercises of piety, but may He keep us firm in the simplicity of that faith which rests on a perfect expiation, accomplished by Him who has borne our sins in His own body on the tree!
Hence, to understand Gethsemane, we must understand Christ as Man, as He was at the time of His first temptation in the wilderness; then all the power of evil and of death in the hands of Satan, and in presence of the judgment of God in death against sin. If Christ had not gone through that — the horrible bottomless pit, this deep mire, where there was no footing, lay on our path — who could have gone through it? Satan tried to make Christ shrink, before the abyss which our sins had opened, to place it between His soul and God. The effect on Him was to make Him draw near with greater intensity of soul to God, to ascertain His will while realising all the horror of that moment in fellowship with Him, and then thus to find therein an occasion of perfect obedience without entering into temptation.
The cup of judgment itself He drank on the cross.
323 A word on our portion in following His example, if a trial is before us. If it be the will of God that we should pass through a trial, if even we dread it, our wisdom is to present ourselves before God, and to place all before His eyes. There may be anguish; that in which the will in us has not been broken will be laid bare. When we would avoid the temptation because it is painful, that is, spare ourselves instead of yielding the fruits of righteousness, instead of submitting ourselves to it for the good of our souls and for the glory of God, the evil path of selfishness, which the heart tries to take becomes evident; we choose "iniquity rather than affliction." When these exercises are sent for the development of grace, grace is developed, God working with the trial in the soul. When it is discipline, positive chastisement, and the soul submits — receives the discipline from the hand of God, the discipline has lost its bitterness and borne its fruit. In it God is all in holiness for the soul. I do not desire that one should anticipate evil, but that, when the evil is in view, one may pass through it with God and not with man — that one may watch and pray so as not to enter into temptation.

A 3-fight bonanza from Rio to Carson, Silva vs. Bonner
Oct 9, 2012 3:04 AM
Vegas Runner
Over the past few weekends it's been MMA, most notably the UFC that's taken center stage as far as quality cards. Saturday night will be no different when the UFC makes its way to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for UFC 153, and its main event which features the top pound-for-pound MMAer Anderson Silva (32-4) against Stephan Bonner (14-7).
The bout takes place at 205 lbs. therefore Silva's middleweight strap will not be up for grabs, but rest assured both men have plenty to gain or lose.
For Silva, it's another opportunity to showcase his dominance again stepping out of his comfort zone and illustrate why he is considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in the sport at the moment, if not all-time.
For Bonner, who has come out of retirement for the chance to face an MMA legend, a win would exemplify the biggest upset in the sport's history. At least based on what the oddsmakers say.
Currently, the betting line on this light heavyweight bout lists Silva as high as a -1350 favorite, making Bonner the largest underdog for a UFC main event at +800. On the surface it appears the result is all but a mere formality.
Besides the physical obstacles both men face, we can't overlook the lack of game planning for an opponent. Granted, both men have to deal with that issue same issue but Bonner needs less of a blueprint since his strategy has to surround the "leave it all in the cage" approach, rather than a tactical approach.
In the fight game, MMA is most dangerous because of the numerous ways to win a bout. For there to be any real value on Silva one would have to conclude his chances for victory exceed 93% just to make it a break-even proposition at -1300. On the flip side, Bonner would need slightly better than an 11% shot to pull the upset to reflect a positive expected value bet.
HBO's response
It's the welcome return of some marquee boxing matchups. HBO Boxing After Dark has put together a non pay-per-view card that truly features two main events. The Home Depot Center in Carson, California is where it all goes down and there is very little doubt that both bouts will prove to be action packed from start to finish.
The co-main event Saturday is being billed as a "title eliminator" in the junior welterweight division, between Mike Alvarado (33-0, 23 KO's) and Brandon Rios (30-0-1, 22 KO's). Thus far a betting line has not hit the board but it's expected to be up early in the week with the more well recognized Rios being offered as the favorite.
Alvarado is by no means a technician in the ring but he has that X-factor which many refer to as "heart" and an amazing will to win. His style tends to put him behind early on the scorecards as he gets out-boxed but he seems to find a way to cut the ring off and force his opponents to stand and trade, eventually utilizing his greatest asset, punching power.
For Rios, this will be an opportunity to redeem himself after falling from the public's adoration after a few less than stellar showings. This will also be his first fight at 140. Though he had astounding power in the lower weight classes, it remains to be seen if he's been able to carry it up to junior welterweight where he won't be the biggest man every time he fights.
Rios had an impressive amateur career where he was crowned the U.S. Amateur Champion and also served as an alternate on the Olympic team before turning pro eight years ago. Since then, Rios has faced some top level opposition as he made his way to becoming the WBA Lightweight champion in 2011.
Although considered a "banger" with a very aggressive style of fighting, it's his boxing skills that truly make him a special fighter. He can throw all of the punches and uses his combinations extremely well in an attempt to overwhelm opponents. With that he appears to have that killer instinct that drives him to finish fights by landing the hard shots.
The knock on Rios is his lack of defense and he almost seems to invite opponents to go toe to toe with him in a contest of chins and who hit's the hardest. That should allow Alvarado to have plenty of success especially in the first half of the fight before Rios is able to wear him down and bully him.
Pick: Rios.
In the main-event we have Toshiaki Nishioka (39-4-3, 24 KO's) and Nonito Donaire (29-1, 18 KO's) battling for the vacant Ring Magazine and WBC Diamond Super Bantamweight titles, plus Donaire's IBF/WBO straps and Nishioka's WBC gold.
Currently the Donaire is being offered as a -220 betting favorite with the take-back on Nishioka +180. The over/under for total rounds is listed at 9½ with the over a heavy -240 favorite, meaning the odds makers expect the fight to reach the final bell.
Nishioka has not tasted defeat since 2004, making eight straight successful defenses of his title. All of his losses prior were decisions that could have gone either way. He's already beaten the likes of Rafael Marquez in Las Vegas and current featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez, who he finished off in only three rounds.
The Japanese boxer uses an aggressive style and a powerful straight left hand that's served him well for over a decade. He's been out of the ring for over a year and at 36, it'll be interesting to see just how polished he can become fight night.
Donaire, No. 5 in Ring Magazine's top pound-for-pound list, fights out of the orthodox stance. He's seven years younger and has already won titles in four different weight classes. Donaire's ability to also fight southpaw and switch stances makes it tough for opponents to prepare for and adapt to inside the ring.
Donaire is a busy fighter and like Nishioka, prefers to be on the offensive and since both men like to mix it up, I expect we'll see plenty of shots hit their mark. The biggest difference is that Donaire is in his prime while Nishioka may have surpassed his.
Pick: Donaire
Record: 80-48 (63%)

The meeting was held at the home of Harriette Bugen May 16, 2004.
CCD Steering Committee members present: Bruce Tarnopolski, Harriette Bugel, Linda Graves, Julie Howell, and Bill Porter.
Guests: Christin Whittington, Pam Eidson, and Seth Tepfer.
Tim still working on it; thinks it will come in at significantly less than the budgeted amount ($8-$10K); including options of automatic feedback killer, equalization set for the room with a password lockout to allow only certain people to alter EQ, and delay. Tim is investigating the option of a snake so sound could be run from position downstream of the speakers. Lalah planned to talk with Sandra, of Morningside Baptist, about permission to route snake.
Tim will purchase electronics such as board, EQ, etc but will not include cables, speakers, stands, etc. The speakers are fine but some stands need replacement or repair.
We are continuing to rent David Woolf's mixer and one power amp. Talked about $75 - $100 / night for the gear and double that amount for What the Hey, but Harriette has not yet received a bill from David Woolf. David prefers to have only Tim, Tomas or Chris operate his sound equipment.
John O'Neal has ideas for a box to weight the speaker sound legs down. John will look into the cost and design.
Sticky Sheets were out on Friday. They appear to make a difference; the floor during the dance looked cleaner.
Meeting agreed that another announcement about shoes was needed, and that it should be phrased in a positive way. Julie volunteered to create announcement to give to callers to remind them to mention shoe policy.
Need to follow up with Nell about proposed Shoe Sculpture.
Thanks to Fern, Bruce & Lalah for cleaning up the storage room! Consider option of keeping the door to that room closed during the dances on Friday.
Bylaws Subcommittee: Bill, Bruce, and Pam.
Bill handed out draft for comments. Basis of this was 1985 Bylaws.
Several options were discussed for specific articles, views were expressed about other matters in the draft bylaws.
• Last sentence about fiscal year should be it's own article.
• What about a past-president or president-elect or vice-president assuming dance weekend responsibility?
Need add statement permitting closed or executive sessions.
Timing was rushed last year. Nominating committee was formed in June or July, elections took place in September or October, dance weekend was in November, then hand-over at December meeting. Perhaps set timing of election in September, allowing new members to attend a few critical meetings October & November for orientation.
Conflict of interest within nominating committee?
Articles need to contain statement about conflict of interest; SC member should not be allowed to vote on an issue from which they derive benefit.
Alter statement so that check co-signers cannot be related, married or from the same household to reflect present-day realities.
Term of Designated check co-signer was raised as an issue but not resolved.
Does CCD want to grow?
Nice to have a signs that say "Chattahoochee Contry Dancers"
Stop calling Tuesday night an "Advanced Contra"
Not interested on sending a quilt mailing to 900 people; interested in mailing to 30 places mailing?
Not much wiggle room – where is a miscellanous category?
Child care – everything resolved?
The next meeting will be held on Sunday, June 13 at 5 p.m at Linda Grave's home, potluck.


In my classes and workshops I convey and share with my students the manual techniques that I use as a professional bookbinder and restorer of ancient books. Teaching has always been a passion of mine that I enjoy. It also allows this profession to be preserved over time.
I teach the classic manual techniques step by step, using traditional materials and procedures that have been essential over the centuries in printing, in the task of preserving human knowledge conveyed in books. Each book is a challenge because each has different damage or requirements. That is what makes this craft one where you never stop learning. The school opened its doors in 1990 and has been teaching students hand bookbinding techniques for 25 years.
The classes I teach at my workshop in Madrid are group classes with a maximum of 4 people in order to give each student the attention they need and rigorously and thoroughly track the work they carry out The class atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Each student is able to bring out their own ingenuity and creativity, the best of themselves. Having fun is a key part of learning. You learn more and better when you're having fun.
Over the last few years, due to high demand, I have created courses on restoration of ancient books. As students enrol, we create groups until we have a minimum of three and a maximum of five, to have weekend classes (12 hours) on specific topics relating to book restoration.
Over the course there are monographic courses such as the history of bookbinding, painted endpapers, boxes, covers, parchment bookbinding, restorative bookbinding, restoring graphic documents, restoring parchment bookbinding, and many many more.
To me, entering the world of bookbinding meant accessing a realm of serenity and enormous personal satisfaction. I have spent many truly pleasant hours of my life amidst laughter and silence, carrying out the manual process, sewing, the smell of glue, the thickness of the paste, the texture of the leather, the sound of paper rustling and the temperature of the irons.
It has been a real experience!
Ana makes you share her enthusiasm. If I already enjoyed reading my books, now I also have the pleasure of decorating and taking care of them.
En mis clases y talleres transmito y comparto con mis alumnos las técnicas manuales que yo misma utilizo como encuadernadora y restauradora profesional de libros antiguos. Formar a otros siempre ha sido una inquietud con la que disfruto y que, además, permite que este oficio perdure en el tiempo.


My pals and I are starting to think about our annual May/June pilgrimage to the Cape for a week of striper fishing. We stay pretty close to the Bourne bridge and fish on our feet on both the north and south sides up to around Chatham..
We've had some great fishing over the past few years but can't really reach a consensus on the best week to go.
We have four weeks available to us: 5/15-21, 5/22-28, 5/29-6/04 and 6/05-11.
I know it can be a crapshoot because of the weather, but any thoughts on when to catch the best of the migration would be appreciated.
Based on last four years experience the last week you have up. It is a good drive from Bourne to Chatham. Any chance you could find a place to stay closer to Chatham. Dennis Port or Harwich Port give you good access to both north and south side beaches in a short drive.
june 6 or later. No sense trying to time the migration.
Thanks much guys. Mike, the place we stay at is a family house of one of the guys. We have a bunch of spots that we frequent on both side of the Cape that aren't much more than a half hour each way. It's a great spot and the price is right. Never really mind the drive up to the elbow...it's the ride back that's the killer!
Three Cheers and a for Mike and flysully is making a very good point.
I kinda had a feeling you were staying in Bourne for a reason. Plenty of fishing local to you as you know only too well.
Ok I do love the excitement of early season fishing say mid May and in years past and not too ,long ago it was some years very good. But we can't ignore whats happened in recent years. Also if you fancy the Backside Beaches they are more likely to come into form on your last proposed week.
I guess you will not be sleeping very much. So much great water to fish in a week. Know where you are coming from on the drive back from say PT. One year I was so dog tired I forgot the kind of car I was driving and pulled the gear shift into low directly from high. That woke me up with a sound of wrenches in a galvanised bucket. But after a few minutes and coming to a grinding halt the car re-started and seemed ok. Be aware that there is a small party of Brits roaming around Cape Cod same time as yourself. I bet we bump into each other.
Memorial Day has been the time, over my whole life, that you could count on nicer fish being around, at least someplace. Last year, it started earlier.
Flyfishvt, I'm sorry, but the one bass scheduled to be around Cape Cod this spring is already fully booked by RJ, Mike, myself and the rest of RJ's Camp Worm crew. Sorry to disappoint you.
Last week in May through mid June would be a great time. Migration is in full swing. Mid May is dependent on the winters weather. Last year we had an extreme winter and the fishing started off slow, for me. Some years it's great by the second week in May. I love early June but we can get some squirrely weather then, say once every three years or so.
Never fished the Cape would love to give,it a try !
I took a look at the tide book and the best week in the spring is going to be the weekend after Memorial Day weekend.You have big tides that whole next week and a new moon.Both the canal and the beaches should be excellent.Get a copy of the canal tide chart from Red Top B&T in Buzzards Bay.The other good one is the 1st week in May so that will be abit early but the fish are moving so I'd go with the 1st option.Lived on the Cape for 28 yrs.New Moon on the upswing is a good bet.I'll be there for sure.
Will send you a PM - maybe meet.
The last week would be my choice as well. You are dealing with two migrations. The earlier spawning dates go with the larger migration coming out of Chesapeake Bay. That can be the last two weeks of April or the first week of May. The Smaller, but significant Hudson River Spawning event is usually between May 10 and 20.
Last years cooler spring delayed the minimum 58 degree water temperature in the Chessy and the Hudson. June will be a better bet if the spring is cool again this year. If it is an average Spring last week in May and first week in June should show Chesapeake fish for sure and some early spawners from the Hudson River.
The spawning range in the Hudson is 110 miles long and the more southern reaches of the Hudson hit 58+ degrees earlier. From Poughkeepsie to Newburgh is wider and shallower than the tighter northern reaches. They receive cooler water from the tributaries flowing out tothe Catskills, Adirondacks and Green Mountains. So there is a progression of spawning events in the Hudson river that moves from South to North and can spread the spawning over a ten day period.
As soon as a female bass spawns her eggs, she begins her migration and begins feeding hard during it to the summer grounds in New England.
RJ what week does Mike and you have planed for the 2h rod guys outing.

Eric Bischoff comments on Tony Khan's family potentially buying WWE
During his 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff commented on Tony Khan's family potentially buying WWE…
"Acquiring WWE is, that's a big, giant move. I don't see it. Now, could it happen? Sure, anything is possible. But if you really think about it, does the Khan enterprise have the experience, knowledge, infrastructure, ability to run a company as complex as WWE? … They may be in the same business, but they don't live and play in the same universe."
"This isn't Tony Khan's money, it's Tony Khan's father's money. Family money, Tony has a big chunk of it, obviously part of it, but how much of your 11 billion dollars of your net worth, depending on how much of it is even liquid, are you willing to put on WWE? Just like Vince [McMahon] would probably have to put up half a billion dollars of his own money because they [Khan family] want to see that, okay, if you're going to lead this charge and we're going to jump on your team here to do this and make this acquisition, we want to know that you have skin in the game too. We are not just buying your name and your reputation, they want to know that you're in it to win it, and the same would be true with the Khan family."

(Part 2 of 2) Truck stop cuisine has gone international!
And we take a look at First Lady Melania Trump's eye-popping Christmas decorations at the White House!
Uck ops truck stops are known to serve simple cuisine like hamburgers and fries.
But as jim axelrod reports, at one truck stop in wyoming, an unlikely dining adventure begins.
Behind this hole in the wall ..
At this hole-in-the- wall&in laramie wyoming is a you-won't- believe-it situation from the world of truck stop cuisine.
ááá the indian food mintu pander and his staff are cooking up in this small kitchen off exit 290 on i-80.
18:43:15 - a cam 2 walk and talk broll 24 "this smells lik we're in mumbai, not in laramie.
Not in laramie.
" just a few feet away from the motor oil&the military hats& and trucker shirts 17:52:37 - a cam 2 walk and talk broll 01 "oh.
That's a ver familiar smell for indian food.
Are storage shelves full of fresh tumeric&coriand er&and others spices maybe you haven't heard of&& this is a leaf, it's called kassori methi.//i mean, if you start putting this on, you will not eat anything without it there's a rice steamer with no off-switch&an always full pot of chai - and the soul of any indian kitchen - a clay oven&.the tandoor 182622 - a cam 2 walk and talk b- roll 12 the tandoor, the flavor goes in the meat, not out of the meat.
Like, if you put on a grill, everything kind of drips down, this way the heat is all around, it's surrounded by the heat.
When pander bought this truck stop in 2014 it came with a griddle for hot dogs and hamburgers.
But figuring truckers could get those up and down i-80 - he went with a menu they would't find anywhere else.
19:05:09 - a cam 2 walk and talk broll 3 do they ever come in and say, "all you got' indian food" yes.
--"and i wan meatloaf," i wan a hamburger," " want a-- strip steak."
/ so then we tell 'em, "hey, try this you're gonna have that on the next stop anyway."
From cross country truckers& 12:33:54 - a cam 3 sitdown broll 16 "i don't kno how to rate it.
You know- one to ten?
I'm-- i mean, i'd say it's probably, you know, a good nine.
I mean, to locals like sheriff's deputies bill yates " if this is th area i'm patrolling, i know where i'm gonna stop to eat lunch.
Mintu's food has been a hit.
Deputy yates is partial to both the yellow curry - and the broader field of vision - that comes with it.
121450 - a cam 3 sit down broll 09 "it's bringing th world here rather than keeping our world small.//" áá stictly speaking the restaurant accounts for a small part of mintu's revenue - strictly speaking.
11:21:12 - a cam 3 sitdown broll 03 "i would say 5 to 10% at the most-- 10%.
So why bother?// well, this is a-- this is not a whole picture.
So they would come in and spend rest $500, $600 on fuel because they know they can get their meal they desire from last 800 miles here."
No surprise for you that you can create all that stuff in the middle of a truck stop on i-80?
Well, that was the plan.
So we succeeded.
&all it took was for mintu pander to trust his gut - and those of hungry truckers driving by& ja cbsn laramie wyo the christmas season is officially underway - with parades and tree lightings.
And at the white house this year's theme, "the spiri of america," is tribute to the traditions, customs, and history that make our nation great.
Designed by first lady melania trump, the white house decorations celebrate the individuals who have shaped our country and kept the american spirit alive.
The east wing is home to the gold star family tree.
The east garden room displays the first family's annual ornament and christmas card.
Upstairs in the east room, for the 52nd year the white house cr?che is on display.
The official white house christmas tree takes its place in the blue room measuring over 18 feet tall the state dining room includes the gingerbread house featuring the south portico of the white house and landmarks from across the country, including the golden gate bridge, space needle, mount rushmore, the alamo, gateway arch, liberty bell, and statue of liberty.
Idina menzel isn't just on big screens as the voice of elsa in "frozen two."
T singer has a new christmas album out, where she's joined by a "frozen" co-sta rick damigella gives us a listen.
Idina menzel has unwrapped her second set of christmas songs on the new album, "christmas: a season of love.
"i was working on some ne music, original music with my friend jonas myrin, who's an incredible songwriter, and we wrote this song called 'at this table.,' it's a ballad, but it's of sort about inclusivity and acceptance and forgiveness."
"once we ha written that song i wanted to go and start curating other music and i wanted to explore some big band music which i love and i used to sing when i was younger and i don't get to sing as much anymore."
Menzel duets with several singers on the album, including billy porter, ariana grande and her "froze two" co-star josh gad."
"'we wish you th merriest' which i had frankly never heard before, but i guess it was this song that was sung by bing crosby."
"i would hav sung 'happy birthday' with her.
I have been obsessed with idina menzel since i was in high school and i saw her in 'rent,' and then subsequently when i saw her in 'wicked,' and to now all these years later get to call her not only my co-star but my friend is just such an incredible gift."
Feeling merry in hollywood, i'm rick damigella.
We'll be right back to wrap things up.
Thatnd m that and more on the next midmorning.
