Where have you come across this supremacism? In monasteries?binocular wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:17 pmBecause Asian supremacism runs deep, sometimes so deep one isn't even aware of it.No_Mind wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 1:17 pmWhy is there this expectation that in countries where Dhammic religions are pre-dominant .. the populace will also be Dhammic, possess equanimity and always act with profound wisdom (India, Sri Lanka, Thailand are I believe the only three which fit this description of nations with Dhammic religion)
(Asian (Buddhist) supremacism being the conviction that only Asian Buddhists know how to properly do Buddhism.)
First of all if this supremacism exists it is due to cultural gap. It is a sterotype .. like Asian wise man stereotype in Hollywood (Mr Miyagi)
Secondly you have to understand that during colonisation the worst that West had to offer came to Middle East, South Asia and Japan during 17th to 19th century. That memory has not changed with coming of cable television .. most average Asians think of West in terms of Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives .. you cannot really blame them for not having read Derek Parfit.
This impression is not helped by hundreds of thousands of backpackers who make their way through various Asian countries on shoe string budget .. dirty, unkempt and very thin (which Asians tend to associate with drug addiction).
The average Asian does not meet the western business traveller in $500 shoes who stay in five star hotels .. complete their business dealings and move out ..
Asians mostly find westerners looking for cheap prostitutes from Goa to Phuket. If only you met the average western tourist in Bangkok .. you would understand. I suggest you take a 5 day trip to Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya .. avoid monasteries and concentrate on tourist spots .. observe fellow westerners and then form an opinion. There is a reason for supposed Asian supremacism.
If only we met more middle class neat, clean and intelligent westerners like David, Retro, Mike and Sam would the impression change.
Educated Asians do not suffer from Asian supremacism.
Stop sending thousands of tourists who look like this if you want Asian supremacism to die down. I am educated and I understand they may be very well read though they look scruffy .. general population does not understand that

These days, Mia can usually be found coddling one of her many dolls, participating in the activities of any good mother — feeding, kissing and holding her babies. According to the 18-month-old's parents, Amy and Ryan Ramkhelawan, it is remarkable to see their little girl do something as simple as carry her doll around their Lilburn, Georgia, home.
The couple knew something was wrong when Mia was born; her right arm hung lifelessly at their new baby's side following her birth. Amy had a problem-free pregnancy, which made the news of a devastating diagnosis even harder. "Mia had suffered a birth injury called shoulder dystocia in which two nerves in her neck had been severed during delivery," explains Amy. "We were told most children recover within a few months, however, I felt something more was wrong."
Sometimes the birth process leads to trauma to the nerves that provide movement to the arm — the brachial plexus. In Mia's case, the injury affected her shoulder, arm and hand.
Because Mia did not show signs of a spontaneous recovery, the couple discovered through a tremendous research effort that Mia had suffered a brachial plexus injury and time was not on their side. "We had to work quickly for optimal results," she says. "Thankfully, word of mouth through the medical community put us in contact with St. Louis Children's Hospital."
About the Brachial Plexus Clinic
St. Louis Children's Hospital specializes in treating both infants and older children with brachial plexus injuries. Patients come from all over the country to the Brachial Plexus Palsy Clinic within the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, which offers multidisciplinary services including Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Orthopedic surgery, Pediatric Neuroradiology, Pediatric Neurology, Physical Therapy, Social Work, Nursing Specialists and Anesthesiology / Pain Management.
Correct Diagnosis is Critical
The Ramkhelawans first contacted the office of Susan Mackinnon, MD, who has an international reputation in peripheral nerve surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery and nerve transplantation at nearby Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Dr. Mackinnon refers children to Greg Borschel, MD, at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Dr. Borschel serves as the director of Pediatric Peripheral Nerve Surgery within the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the hospital and participated in an advanced, one-year fellowship as part of his medical training. According to Dr. Borschel, only a handful of specialists are trained to treat brachial plexus injuries. "Not many surgeons are interested in this type of injury. The anatomy is complex and unfamiliar to most neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons," he says. "It's somewhat of an orphan among these specialties."
Up until the last decade, many specialists shared the thinking that if a brachial plexus injury did not improve with physical therapy, nothing could be done. "However, 20 to 25 percent of patients born with brachial plexus injuries can benefit from surgery," he explains. "Most children with these injuries only require physical therapy. Ideally, I prefer to see a baby as early as possible, even within the first week of life to help determine the best course of treatment."
Innovative Nerve Transfer Technique
The surgery Dr. Borschel and Dr. Mackinnon performed on Mia — nerve transfers — is a very new procedure that only a handful of hospitals offer. "In the 1980s, plastic surgeons took out the brachial plexus completely and replaced it with nerve grafts from the legs," remarks Dr. Borschel. "In Mia's case, she had some parts of her hand and shoulder that were working very well and we just needed to fill in some very specific gaps."
The isolated nerve transfer procedure is similar to a heart bypass surgery. "We used a "spare part" nerve that is still connected on one end and attach that end into the part of the brachial plexus that is not working — leaving the scarring behind and essentially bypassing it," Dr. Borschel describes. "Although neuroma excision with grafting is a good technique, it may not be for all patients. For some, it may do more harm than good."
Although the Ramkhelawan's knew that Drs. Mackinnon and Borschel recommended surgery for Mia, their fear was especially heightened since both Amy and her husband Ryan had worked in the OR at Emory University Hospital: a 12-hour, invasive surgery and 12 hours of anesthetic all on their five-month old, 15 pound baby girl.
"The OR staff at St. Louis Children's Hospital called out to us every hour. In all my years of work, I never realized how important it is to communicate with families," Amy admits. "The surgery only took six hours instead of 12 and Drs. Borschel and MacKinnon came out right away and told us that Mia only needed a nerve transfer from her back, not her legs or arms. They sat down with us in the waiting room until all our questions were answered."
Mia's case was actually two surgeries in one. The first involved the transfer of one of the nerves in her back that was uninjured to another nerve in the back that controlled her shoulder. The second surgery included the transfer of the nerve that controls the pectoralis muscle, a "spare part" in this condition, to the nerve that controls the biceps.
"Before surgery, she was unable to flex her elbow and had limited motion at the shoulder," reports Dr. Borschel. "Now, both are quite good. Most kids continue to gain ground for three years after surgery."
Mia was discharged the next morning following surgery. The family stayed in a nearby hotel so Dr. Borschel could continue to keep an eye on Mia until her return trip home. With the help of a sling, Mia's arm was immobilized for a month to allow further healing.
"We have been back to St. Louis Children's Hospital several times and have sent Dr. Borschel videos of Mia's progress," says Amy. "Dr. Borschel also coordinates her follow-up through our local hospital."
A Little Girl's Progress
It is expected that Mia may have some weakness in her right arm, however, she can move her fingers, bend her elbow and raise her arm. "Mia can suck her thumb and pull her pacifier in and out of her mouth with her right hand, which surpassed what we were told we could expect," exclaims Amy. "We had a phenomenal hospital experience and Mia's nurses were fabulous. I don't think I've worked at a hospital where everyone followed through with what they said they would do. Dr. Borschel's office went out of their way to help us. Her recovery is miraculous; he gave us so much."

The original art for the first appearance of Wolverine, a ferocious fighting mutant with a penchant for beer and cigars, is to be sold at auction in Dallas.
Heritage Auctions will offer the ink, graphite and blue pencil drawing Friday. It's expected to sell for more than $240,000.
A majority of the after-tax proceeds will benefit the Hero Initiative, a nonprofit that strives to aid comic book creators in times of financial need.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The artwork was drawn by Herb Trimpe 40 years ago for "The Incredible Hulk" No. 180. It was long thought lost until the person Trimpe gave it to in 1983 contacted them about selling it. That person was given the artwork by Trimpe when he visited the comic book artist.

On Internet Privacy and Security: What Are Best Practices for Concerned Citizens?2010/02/14
Internet privacy and security are your responsibility. If you do not take sound privacy precautions, you may reveal more of your personal preferences, habits, etc than you wish, and you may find you are haunted by the ghosts of your internet usage in the offline world. If you do not take sound security precautions, you will expose your computer, and your files to being erased, locked out of, or taken over and used for illegal purposes, which you may be held responsible for depending on the laws of your country.
Presently, the threats to your internet privacy and security include the following in order of severity: various governments, organized criminals, marketers and websites who you do not want to collect your information and/or are careless with your information. Commercial tools, such as antivirus and firewalls, do not begin to protect you from all these threats.
You will be able to greatly increase your protection from all threats by following my recommendations. This paper makes the case for internet privacy, and internet security. It then lays out a procedure, in plain language, containing the practical methods that you, as a private citizen, can take to maintain maximum privacy and security online. (more…)

Amendment 1 Drawing Voters, Vandalism
It seems like it is always the signs of the Republican candidates and those of the supporters of the Conservative issues that get vandalized or removed. Of course, when accused, the "other side" can be counted on to come out and claim that the same thing is happening to them. However, I rarely see the signs of the liberals vandalized.
One of our most basic rights is the right to voice our political views- I would think that everyone would treasure that right and respect the rights of other people to do the same.
Let's hope that they catch AND PROSECUTE those who would steal or damage political signs.

Oh the irony!

The "basic right" to political speech is a well established freedom of speech guaranteed by the first amendment.
Which amendment says that you have the right to change the definition of marriage which has been in place since before the founding of the country?
- April 28, 2012 at 1:24 PM
- matt said...
Correct me if I am wrong. But isn't Amendment 1 the one to change the definition of marriage?
Voting no to amendment 1 is to vote for no change to the definition of marriage.
What gives YOU the right to change the definition of marriage? Because that is what Amendment 1 is doing.
By the way...that first post was mine at 1138...forgot to login, I guess.
- April 28, 2012 at 2:50 PM
A YES vote on the constitutional amendment is a vote to maintain the current definition and make it part of the state constitution.
A Yes vote says
""Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State...."
- April 28, 2012 at 3:12 PM
- NewGuy said...
The anonymous at 3:12 is correct.
Voting "yes" on the amendment assures that "marriage" will remain between a man and a woman and that the state will not recognize anything else as "marriage".
Vote YES to preserve traditional marriage.
The polls are showing strong support among the voters for passing this amendment. It is probably the anti-amendment people who are trying to create confusion by suggesting that a "yes" vote is a vote to change the definition of marriage. It is not. It is to PRESERVE the traditional definition by incorporating it into the state constitution. This will make it more difficult for a judge to "redefine" it in accordance with his own ideas of what it should be. It will also prohibit future state legislators from changing it without a vote of the people.

"Constitutional changes
If approved, the proposed measure would amend Article 14 of the North Carolina Constitution by adding a new section::
Sec. 6. Marriage.
Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts."
Strange...so how again is a no vote a vote to "change the definition of marriage which has been in place since before the founding of the country"? When this bill changes what is currently law now?

Tough Love
Opponents claim the Marriage Amendment will affect existing law while hiding that the amendment is simply protection of existing law, protection from those who want to leave existing law vulnerable to legislative and judicial activism. Opponents fear putting the decision in the hands of the people. Why do they trust government and judicial activists more than us? They're a "faction" desiring to force the beliefs of a minority on the majority? Opponents play victim while we who want to protect the sanctity of marriage, our children and families are the real victims.
CURRENT Law since 1995: § 51‑1.2. Marriages between persons of the same gender not valid. Marriages, whether created by common law, contracted, or performed outside of North Carolina, between individuals of the same gender are not valid in North Carolina.
Opponents say they're concerned about the ambiguous language of the amendment. Following is the State's official explanation of the amendment (NC State Board of Elections' website):
"Sec. 6. Marriage.
Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts."
This faction will use any tactic to deceive to destroy family. They claim this amendment is anti-gay/discriminatory? Why didn't they find the current law to be anti-gay/ discriminatory? Opponents hide facts; the current law and proposed amendment does not recognize polygamy as well. Victimizing gays is just a convenient wedge, another of their many deceptive maneuvers.
Opponents play the victim to Christians claiming support for the amendment is hate and bigotry. Is God a God of hate? Is God a bigot? Of course not; and, Christians who stand on God's word are not bigots. Opponents claim we need to vote against the amendment out of love for one another. Voting against the marriage amendment says we're not concerned with the sanctity of God's institution of marriage and is sanctioning the destruction of His institution. Do we lead others away from God's plan out of love or do we lead them to God's plan out of love? The latter, it is called tough love.
I have to take signs up at 5pm every night and put them back out at 8am at the one-stop voting places because of vandalism and stealing. I have someone come into my yard and take 2 signs. I have someone come into our pasture and take one off of a tree. I have put 2 signs out at the intersection of 194 and Howards Creek to last only 2 days. I have put 2 on 194 in same location with the last one still standing. I have put 4 signs at the 105/321 intersection at Wells Fargo Bank to have 2 vandalized and 1 stolen. I had to take replacement signs to 4 churches. I had 12 signs stolen off of 421. I got a call Sunday morning that at 1:30am a car went through a neighborhood with the occupants waking the neighbors with hollering; all of the signs were removed from that neighborhood. I have personally paid $475 for signs and a colleague of mine has paid $175 for signs.
This ongoing attack on the family comes from a faction of society who promotes "do whatever feels good". It is this faction who will harm our children. Protect our children, our families, God's institution of marriage and God's plan; vote for the marriage amendment out of love for God and his commandment to love one another as He loves us.

At everyone of 3 church services I attended this Sunday, Marriage Sunday, the pastors made it clear that the opponents of the Marriage Amendment call it Amendment 1, the Gay Marriage Amendment or the Anti-gay Marriage Amendment and refuse to call it by its proper name, the Marriage Amendment. A video clip by Tami Fitzgerald was played at the beginning of one church service and again she pointed out how the opponents to the Marriage Amendment refused to call it by its proper name. The Watauga Conservative blog has done the same thing on more than one occasion and continues to do so even after it has been brought to their attention.
- April 30, 2012 at 11:31 AM
I understand that the Republican Party only purchased 25 signs. They passed a resolution to support the amendment. Can they not afford more signs? What a slap in the face to Dan Soucek! Is there any Republican Party leadership in Watauga County? Maybe a new Republican Party is in order; it was discussed about 8 years ago. How about the Watauga County Conservative Republican Party?

- April 30, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Matt, as a gay couple can do anything with a contract not called a marriage that is done by calling the contract a marriage (a contract is what a marriage is), how do you consider anything is being forced on anyone?
As far as I can see, the only thing the amendment does is define the term marriage. It changes nothing legally or morally.
It is a non issue, except for those that wish to make one where none exists.
- April 30, 2012 at 4:28 PM
Looks to me like Soucek has made this supposed non-issue and issue, what with his leading on it and everything.
- April 30, 2012 at 5:02 PM
The only issue he made was a definition of marriage. It has nothing to do with homosexual contracts. Therefore the discussion is out of context when these contracts are what is being presented as being denied.

If I am out of context then I apologize. I think the question still needs to be asked. why a "limited government conservative" thinks it is his job to create laws to define words for us, and back a law that puts restrictions on the freedoms that gay people currently have.
I think we should define marriage to make sure 2 prior felons don't get married. That could be harmful for families! I think we should restrict 2 people of the same religion from getting married too, so their children aren't brainwashed and are protected...Would these two definitions be supported by "limited government politicians" too?
I think we both agree the two examples above are bad....so why is amendment 1 so much better?
Guy, if they made a law that defined marriage in some way that restricted you from getting married...say because of your hair color, I believe that that would be an example of government forcing something upon you. That is how I see this.

Matt, can I have a person contract that does the same thing as a marriage contract under your hypothetical situation? If so I do not have much of a problem with it because I am not harmed. I also do not have much of a problem if gays want a marriage contract because, again, I am not harmed. However it would offend many people.
Words are defined by the government all the time in order to keep people from being offended. For instance the N word in a racial altercation turns it into a hate crime. Is this a good or bad thing in your opinion?
My opinion is that a crime is a crime so the term hate crime is superfluous as is the issue of the definition of marriage. The same thing is being accomplished in either case.
I will vote for the amendment simply because of the personal attacks that have been made by those against the amendment that only defines the word marriage. There is nothing racist or bigoted in the amendment.
- May 1, 2012 at 3:23 PM
- matt said...
Guy, I don't see why a personal contract that does the same thing could not exist. It seems strange to me, is everyone here okay with gays living together, enjoying the tax benefits of being together etc etc...but just calling themselves contractual partners instead of married? Is it really just that they call themselves married that all this arises?
I agree with you about the hate crime definition. And I do think your example of government regulating the n word is bad.
Clarify your point of view for me...you think the need to define marriage is pointless (superfluous)? But you are just voting against it because of people who support it, is that correct?
- May 2, 2012 at 6:50 PM
First of all, I find the N word offensive. Apparently Robert Bryd did not. My point is that what offends some people does not offend others. A hate crime is meaningless because it was already a crime.
I suppose if one groups' sensibilities can be protected as are mine with the N word, then those that find the marriage contract should be only between a man and a woman are entitled to equal protection. In both cases, those that would agree with Byrd or do not think the marriage contract should be between a man and a woman are offended. Practically speaking, so what? Nothing changes how the individual thinks.
I am voting for the amendment because I was called a racist and a bigot over an issue I do not even consider an issue. This is not because of the people that are against the issue, but because of the actions of some of them. This includes lying about the amendment.
All it does is provide a definition concerning one kind of contract. It does not change existing law.
I cannot answer your question as to how other on this blog think. I speak only for myself.

Have you ever wanted to spy on a bald eagle, watch one hatch, or watch one learn to fly? Then it's time to put everything going on in your life on hold... at least for the next few months. The Decorah Bald Eagle Cam — aka the most powerful time-devouring procrastination tool on the entire internet — is back.
Let the countdown to eaglet hatching begin.
Featured below is a live-streaming video feed of an 80-foot-high bald eagle nest in Decorah, Iowa. The camera was positioned by The Raptor Resource Project. In 2011, the first of three eggs hatched on April second. This year, the baby eagles are expected to hatch sometime in the same March—April time window; but you can check in on the parents-to-be in the weeks ahead by keeping an eye on the live webcam featured here.

JOHN ROZENTALS is reacquainted with the work of Italian master chef Alessandro Pavoni
My palate had been aflutter ever since I found out that a Newport, Sydney, restaurant I was going to be dining at was the creation of Alessandro Pavoni, the head chef at Mosman's Ormeggio.
I haven't eaten at Ormeggio for quite a few years, but I still have fond memories of the magnificent six- or seven-course lunch I thoroughly enjoyed there — featuring delightful dishes such as pan-fried Spanish mackerel served with king brown mushrooms, an incredibly powerful prawn broth and chickpea purée.
Alessandro's stated aim in those days was to bring to Australia the best and most modern features of the cuisine of his birthplace — Brescia, nestled among the lakes on northern Italy's Lombardy.
His latest venture, Sotto Sopra, a wood-fired trattoria in Newport's Barrenjoey Road, is much more relaxed than Ormeggio, but none of the fire seems to have disappeared in the quest for culinary excellence led by Mattia Rossi and Victor Moya.
The wine list is unashamedly Italian and features many, many wines by the glass. I sometimes lost myself in a plethora of unusual names and varieties but found my way clear with the help of knowledgeable staff.
And, yes, the food is sensational, especially a superb dish of goat-curd-filled beetroot ravioli served with green peas, pine nuts, chervil and just the best and sharpest pecorino cheese.
It was a dish I wished I'd had the will power to linger over for much longer, and beautifully accompanied by a glass of Donnafugato 'La Fuga' Chardonnay from Sicily, in what turned out to be a heavenly match.
And certainly the highlight of a memorable meal that will remain with me for many years, hopefully till the next time I cross paths with some more creations from Alessandro Pavoni and his formidable team.
Sotto Sopra, 316-324 Barrenjoey Rd, Newport. Phone 02 9997 7009. Visit www.sottosopra.com.au.

More than three decades ago, golden record albums with sounds of humankind – including "Johnny B. Goode" – were packed away in the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft as kind of a floating time capsule of life on Earth.
During a "Weekend Update" bit on an episode of "Saturday Night Live" around that time, we learned that extraterrestrials had found the payload and beamed back a message: "Send more Chuck Berry!"
The joke, which feels like it was uttered light years ago, came to mind with the recent news that the solo recordings of one of Berry's most famous disciples – John Lennon – will be ensconced in three time capsules, including one to kept at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. The containers will be sealed Oct. 9, on what would have been the Beatle's 70th birthday, and are slated to be cracked open the same date in 2040, the centenary of his birth.
U.S. & World
The move seems more about a celebration of Lennon's life than any serious concern that his music will somehow be lost with time. Forty years after the breakup of the Beatles and with the 30th anniversary Lennon's death approaching, his legacy appears secure: a Pew Research Center survey published last year found the group is among the top four favorite musical acts of Americans 16 to 64.
That's no small accomplishment, considering much of the 20th Century pop culture wars centered on parents and children battling over music, with acts from Goodman and Gaga being decried at various times as corrupters of youth.
Even in the supposedly solitude-inducing iPod Age, we appear to be hard-wired with the impulse to share music we like. There's something satisfying not only in having our taste affirmed, but perhaps in knowing that good music will outlive us.
One of things we like about the Lennon project is Yoko Ono's call for online submissions of birthday wishes, performances of her late husband's songs and thoughts on his legacy that will be included in the time capsules.
In that spirit of interactivity, we'll pose a question: what songs – whether by Lennon or otherwise – would you include in a time capsule?
We'll kick things off with "Imagine" and "Johnny B. Goode," whose outer-space journey is more than 25 billion miles and counting. Meanwhile, use the comments section to offer your virtual time capsule selections of music for the ages, on Earth – and beyond.

Hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine
From the moment she sets eyes on Chris, she is a goner. Lost. Sunk. Head over heels infatuated with him. It's problematic, since Chris, 21, is a sophisticated university student, while Amelia, 15, is 15.
Amelia isn't stupid. She knows it's not gonna happen. So she plays it cool around Chris—at least, as cool as she can. Working checkout together at the local supermarket, they strike up a friendship: swapping life stories, bantering about everything from classic books to B movies, and cataloging the many injustices of growing up. As time goes on, Amelia's crush doesn't seem so one-sided anymore. But if Chris likes her back, what then? Can two people in such different places in life really be together?
Through a year of befuddling firsts—first love, first job, first party, and first hangover—debut author Laura Buzo shows how the things that break your heart can still crack you up.

PITTSBURGH (AP) The Pittsburgh Pirates have re-signed free agent reliever Jason Grilli to a two-year contract worth $6.75 million.
The 36-year-old Grilli has enjoyed a career renaissance in Pittsburgh since originally signing with the Pirates in July 2011. He went 1-6 with a 2.91 ERA in 64 games in 2012 and struck out 13.8 batters per nine innings, fourth-best in the National League.
The signing also gives the Pirates some flexibility in the bullpen next year in case it ever decides to part ways with closer Joel Hanrahan.
Grilli has spent the majority of his career as a middle reliever but has struggled staying healthy until arriving in Pittsburgh. He has been a mainstay in the seventh and eighth innings with the Pirates because of his ability to get strikeouts in key situations.

DHPA Jewish Historical Resources
Marion County
Marion County Jewish History Indianapolis, the county city for Marion County, also serves as the State Capitol. The city has been a transportation hub since the 1850s While not the earliest settlement of Jews in Indiana, Indianapolis would become the center of the Jewish population of the state. The first Jews to the city were Alexander and Sarah Franco and Moses Woolf in 1849. By the late 1850s, there were enough families living in the city that in 1856, fourteen men approved the constitution and by-laws of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. The congregation met in temporary quarters for at least 2 years until they could acquire a room in the Judah Block. In 1858 the congregation moved to a rented hall in the 200 block of East Washington Street, where it remained for ten years.

In 1984, Apple stormed to the front of the tech scene with a famed commercial during Super Bowl XVIII that played on George Orwell's "1984." The ad established Apple as an anti-establishment tech company.
Now, 25 years later, a new startup wants to be known as an anti-establishment tech company -- and is spoofing Apple's famous ad to do it.
The hero of Apple's pitch was making a brave attempt against the establishment by literally fighting against the man (or big brother) with a sledgehammer. In the new generation spoof, by San Francisco-based company Double Twist, the zombies are all wearing white ear buds and the wizard resembles Steve Jobs. The woman carrying the sledgehammer is a Japanese anime figure.
Double Twist's video, posted to YouTube, promotes a new media library program meant to rival Apple's iTunes. The program is designed to work with all media players. iTunes famously works only with an iPod, and Apple has thwarted other company's attempts to access iTunes.
Watch both ads below. Here's the Double Twist spoof:
And here's the original ad from Apple:

MediaCom retains Specsavers
MediaCom Melbourne has come out of the Specsavers media pitch victorious after successfully defending its account against three other agencies to retain the $20m account it has held for more than six years.
Specsavers marketing director Stewart Roussel said: "The Mediacom Team put forward a very strong strategic and competitive offering and didn't take their position as the incumbent agency for granted. We are very happy to move forward together with its new relationship."
Pete Barrie, MediaCom MD, added: "This was not a simple review process; it was a tough competitive pitch and one which we fought hard to retain. Specsavers has been a great client of ours for over 6 years and the values and history of their business is an inspiring story and one that we share. We look forward to supporting their business in partnership to ensure the best market place for them. The whole team here is over the moon."
MediaCom Melbourne is currently defending the Carlton United Breweries account.

I made a bunch of clothes since last year, so I'm catching up!
McCall's 6648 — it's so cute on the pattern envelope! Mine didn't turn out quite as nice, and I think it's because I chose a too-large size. I like it from the back when I stand like this!
From the front, though, I feel a little linebackery. Also, I feel a little silly about the collar, even though I bet I'd like it on someone else.
Glowbug's annual matchy Christmas Uptown/Downtown dress made from Girl Charlee fabric — I'm still getting my money's worth out of this pattern!
Glowbug and my mom wore matching outfits on Christmas, complete with wrapping paper skirts!
Megan Nielsen Harper shorts — I made these for the imagine gnats blog. Even though I was a little unsure about these at first, now I wear them all the time! They're so comfy. And I just realized that the reason I've been getting a funny wrinkle in the front might be because I sometimes sew my shorts seam in a non-ideal order: sometimes I sew the crotch curve first, and then the inseam second. I also just serge really close instead of clipping the curves because I saw that RTW things are made that way, but I thiiiink that only works well if you sew the inseam first and then the crotch curve. I plan to test this out the next time I make shorts!
MHC Julia cardigan — I made this pattern once years ago, but this was the first time I've ever sewn a sweater knit. I used 1″ seam allowances and found a narrow zig zag setting that made my seams look okay, but I was a little sad that the seams definitely didn't stretch as much as the fabric. Is there a stretchy sewing machine bobbin thread I should be using, like wooly nylon serger thread?
Since I read a sweater knit tip that warned that ironing might smash the nice sweater knit texture, I didn't press this too much. Then I worried that the shawl collar wouldn't lay nicely along the seam, so I topstitched it. I'm not sure if that that was a good decision, but either way, I'm sure my sister won't mind. Oh, and the wrinkles in the middle of the shawl collar are from the sweater sitting all crumpled up for a few days before I pulled it out to take pictures. I'm not used to knits wrinkling so easily!
Megan Nielsen Flint shorts (which I bought the day it was released!) and Burda Style cowl tee
First, the cowl tee — I like this a lot! I think I need to make a larger size and reduce the cowl drape if I make it again, though.
Next the Flint shorts — I definitely love these! Even though I was too lazy to make a muslin, I tried really hard to patiently follow the Pants for Real People instructions. I tissue fit my shorts first (with the waist elastic and everything!), then cut them out with 1″ seam allowances in some places, and made sure to baste the bits that I was supposed to baste. However, I made a fitting mistake early on and never got quite enough room in the back after that. This is why I should make a bunch of shorts in a row — to keep things I learn in my head and get everything straight — but I don't have the attention span for that!
Ooh, but I did learn from my Harper shorts, and I extended the rear darts 1″, which I think mostly fixed the pooling at the dart ends.
It makes sense, but I think it's funny that there's a big hole in my left pocket (since that's where the button opening is). I get worried when Glowbug tries to stick her hand in my left pocket — what if she yanks and rips my shorts!
Funnily, I've been wearing my Flint shorts less often than my Harper shorts. I think it's because I think my Flints are cuter so I'm more precious about making sure I'm wearing them in a nicer ensemble (as in, with a tucked in tshirt), whereas I'll just throw on my Harpers with whatever any day. So silly!

Southeastern outlier of High Sperrins
Short Summary created by Onzy 4 Nov 2014
Crockbrack is situated in the southeast corner of the network of roads which cordon off the high Sperrins. As such, it is easily reached either from the B47 to the south or the B40 to the east. Given its position there are substantial views, particularly to the south and east.
From the south, one approach is from a gated track at
. After 200m the track forks; the right track heading towards the hill until it peters out at around 370m. There is a fence on the left which leads all the way to the top.
From the B40 to the east, a number of starting points are possible including making use of tracks leaving the B40 at either
There is a substantial fence junction at
. The actual summit is 100-150m along the fence heading west from this point.

Second Time Lucky!
3 Feb 2013
I have the same set of cards as dr_banuska and have also had this walk on my planner for quite some time. Finally got around to climbing it today having had an aborted attempt last weekend due to ferociously strong winds and driving hail/snow at Crockmore. Today was much milder although the stretch from Crockmore to Crockbrack and then on to Craigbane was very exposed with strong winds.
I followed the entire card route and descended from Craigbane along the track marked on the OS map and back into Moneyneany making a 12.3km circular route.
This is an easy to moderate route with easy navigation. The only non-tracked section is from the summit of Crockbrack to Craigbane but the suggested route follows the fenceline exactly.
I found the summit to be approx 145m from the summit waypoint in the Emerald Isle maps and will upload my reading here as it matches the OS map summit.

Climbed Feb 04 fom Moydamlaght Forest (grid
). Followed the well signposted Ulster Way to B42 through Moneyeanny village for 1.5 miles. Turned onto a narrow lane climbing slopes of Crockmore (478m).
As the lane winds up the hill houses and farm buildings are left behind, with ever widening views. From the summit of Crockmore turn right to follow the fence to Crockbrack. The summit is marked only by the joining of fences. Views were crystal clear E and S to the Antrim Hills, Lough Neagh (mostly masked by Slieve Gallion) and the Mournes in the distance. To the W and N the Sperrins were laid out along the Genelly Valley. The walk to the summit took 2 hours but this was with 4-5 " snow with drifts up to 3 feet.
Follow fence W as drops down into Finglen. Cross burn and up other side to high ground between Mullaghsallagh and Oughtmore (
). Drop into next glen along Golamuck Burn to Goles River and the isolated settlement of Goles. Had to follow the river upstream to find a suitable crossing point.
Follow fence (
) onto southern flank of Meenard. A good climb before views open out W to Sawel and Dart. The ground was snow covered with big drifts filling in between the peat hags so going wasn't too quick. Fence continues right along mountain top - there is a little cairn of sorts off in the peat hags.
The Sperrins are all about views which to my mind are unsurpassed in the north of Ireland. I was able to see the Donegal Hills to W, with Muckish very distinct, N to Inishowen and Lough Foyle and E to Knocklayd in Antrim. I could even see the Scottish islands further N. S the line of the Mournes stretched out to Slieve Gullion. Of course the immediate scenery of the Sperrins was thrown too.
From Meenard follow the ever present fence and drop down 300ft before the short climb to the summit of Mullaghaneany, through peat hags. Summit is marked by the joining of fences (again!) and the views as outlined were perfect with clear air from the north. Taking in Oughtmore would have been a natural finish to the circuit but as was nearly dark i decided to follow fence NE to the B40 running through Banagher Forest.
With snow on the ground and a clear night sky there were even shadows on the ground, though with no torch I had to take it very easy and did find the going tricky. On reaching the road turn right (east) and follow as it drops down out of the hills, the road was covered in frozen snow and ice and again was difficult underfoot. With the clear night sky and isolation of walking along the road for 3 miles I had a fantastic experience with the parallel electricity pylons buzzing away to the side. At (
) turn left along the lane and left again to reach the carpark (9 hours and 14 miles).

dr_banuska on Crockbrack, 2009
14 Dec 2009
This is a peak I'd been planning to tackle for some time, as it's featured in a nice set of walking cards I have called Landscapes from Stone: Walk the Sperrins. I started in Moneyneany village, outside Draperstown. I parked in the large chapel car park at the top of the village (as the card recommends) and headed south, over the Douglas River and turned right up the Drumderg Road. The first part of the route is signed as part of Hudy's Way, a 10km walk developed in memory of a local man who once attempted flight using home-made wings, unsuccessfully leaping off the nearby Craignashoke cliffs! Follow the minor country road to Crockataggart townland (H
741 969
), where the Ulster Way is currently signed left and Hudy's Way right. The UW signage is in fact obsolete as this route was recently redeveloped and diverted south here via lower lying country roads. Regardless, diverge from Hudy's Way and head left as the trail begins to climb more steeply uphill. This is a long and winding but very pleasant walk, with ever widening views: to the north was Mullaghmore/Moydamlaght Forest, then to the left the distinctive profiles of Benbradagh then Binevenagh appeared, and finally Inishowen. To the east/south east the view was quite hazy but Slieve Gallion dominated and I could just about make out Lough Neagh beyond (and the Antrim/Belfast hills beyond it). To the west the long ridge of Craigagh Hill, Spelhoagh and Oughtmore were clearly visible and took on a different appearance in the winter sun. You cross three cattlegrids in total, the last just west of the lower peak of Crockmore (478m, H
727 955
). I detoured quickly to check out this featureless summit, thinking it may one day appear on MV and I'd be kicking myself I didn't bag it when I had the chance! Returning to the path, after a short distance it forks again. Follow the right fork which makes its way towards the higher summit; or rather it runs parallel to a fence which reaches the summit. After a time, the path levels out and you see an old rusty gate ahead. Look to your right and a path continues the short distance to the summit. When you reach the fence straight ahead, turn left and the summit is marked by a meeting of fences in typical Sperrins fashion. By now the views had opened out to include the higher peaks of Sawel, Dart etc., Carnanelly & Goles Forest across the Glenelly Valley, and the region's various loughs, namely Loughs Fea and Ouske. There is a stile here where you can cross and begin the long descent north then east back to Moneyneany via Craigbane. After some deliberation I opted not to follow the suggested route, but rather to tackle the neighbouring summit of Mullaghsallagh (485m), to the west, for which I'll do a separate account. The suggested descent however would have been much simpler and shorter, and is quite easily discernible from OSNI map 13. If anyone would like to see the route card I would be happy to scan and email.

BILLNOR on Crockbrack, 2005
19 Oct 2005
Climbed on 16-10-2005. Started the walk with my wife at Derrynoyd lane just outside Moneyeanny village. The lane starts off as tarmac and then after about one mile a gravel path which was very wet and muddy. As we made our way up the slopes to the summit of Crockmore (478m) heavy cloud and mist rolled in from the south east and visibility reduced to at time less than twenty feet. We stopped for a wellcome cuppa before heading to the summit of Crockbrack . Visability became very poor so we turned back. We returned the way we came once or twice we wher e lucky to see through the cloud to see the Glenelly valley below. We intend to return another day when the weather and cloud is kinder as we believe the views are good from both these summits.

New way marking
30 Aug 2015
Did the walk again today, had done it previously from the old card as mentioned by other walkers. The route is now thoroughly way marked as Crockbrack Way along with Ulster Way and Hudy's Way at various points. Also some new very vertical ladder stiles have been added. Couldn't get lost if you tried!

FACETIME- Lengel frankly: Washington man cuts swath in a Jefferson town
When Ed Lengel does a book tour for the latest volume of The Papers of George Washington, he's not trying to sell books. Actually, it's not really even a book tour. But he's jazzed about this country's first president– and he wants people to know about the cool stuff in Volume 18, even though most of us will never read it.
The latest in the Revolutionary War series covers about 10 weeks– from November 1, 1778, to January 14, 1779– and sheds light on how Barracks Road got its name from a POW camp.
Four thousand British and German prisoners captured at Saratoga were moved here from Boston. "They became part of the local community," says Lengel, with the British performing plays and the Germans fighting cocks. "Fifteen hundred deserted and settled here." Perhaps in Hessian Hills?
"We can see accounts of how the Germans viewed the locals," says Lengel, and he's found their comments in letters on "the nature of the people, the cruelty with which they treated their slaves, and the laziness of white people."
Tucked in a corner of Alderman Library in the heart of Mr. Jefferson's U are 135,000 copies of papers to and from George Washington. Historian Lengel didn't intend to make Washington his day job when he started there as a grad student, but the tight job market for historians made him "the de facto Washington guy," says Lengel.
As a kid, Lengel, 39, wanted to be an archeologist, and he remembers building Fisher-Price cities "and then putting junk on top of it so I could excavate it."
He's working on another Washington book called Fake Founder, about myths like the vision of the Virgin that have sprung up about Washington.
In his spare time, Lengel wrote a book on the World War I battle of the Meuse-Argonne, "one of the bloodiest in American history with 26,000 killed in three weeks," he explains. "Nobody had written about it since 1919, and I've gotten a fair amount of flack from the war-is-fun crowd."
Lengel gets out of the library a lot, talking to students, teachers, and civic groups. "Ed carries the flag of the Washington Papers across the country," says his boss, editor-in-chief Theodore Crackel, who calls Lengel the project's "corporate memory."
It's easier being a Washington man here than it used to be, in part because people "are looking for a person in American history they could look up to," says Lengel. "Jefferson's been taken down because of his personal life."
He adds a little dish on the two presidents: Jefferson "considered Washington a yokel," and the "father" of our country was sterile.
Washington's ethics, sense of duty, self-doubts, and depression make it clear who Lengel thinks the nobler figure. After 12 years of living with Washington, "I find the more I study him, the more I like him," says Lengel.

AOA honors FDA optometrist for sight-saving efforts
(From left: Michael Duenas, O.D., AOA chief public health officer; Beth Fritsch, RPh, deputy director, FDA Office of Health and Constituent Affairs; Matt Willette, AOA staff; Helene Clayton-Jeter, O.D., health programs coordinator, FDA Office of Health and Constituent Affairs; Heidi Marchand, PharmD, associate commissioner, FDA Office of External Affairs, Office of Health and Constituent Affairs; and Jon Hymes, AOA Washington office director.)
Thanks to AOA member and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) optometrist Helene Clayton-Jeter, O.D., more Americans know the potential dangers of decorative contact lenses. To recognize her leadership on this issue and others, the AOA honored Dr. Clayton-Jeter with the prestigious AOA Leadership in Public Health Award.
The AOA Leadership in Public Health Award is our highest public health service award.
The AOA's Washington office Director Jon Hymes and Chief Public Health Officer Michael Dueñas, O.D., presented the award on behalf of the nearly 39,000 AOA members at an official ceremony held Nov. 18 at FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Md.
"The AOA Leadership in Public Health Award is our highest public health service award and is reserved for one national leader who is successfully working to advance innovative and effective solutions to help safeguard the eye and vision health of the American people," said Dr. Dueñas.
The AOA has long warned of the dangers of illegal contact lenses. Dr. Clayton-Jeter's leadership on a new Decorative Contact Lens Campaign is helping build critical partnerships and will extend that message.
The campaign is a collaborative effort between the AOA, FDA and the Entertainment Industry Council (EIC). It aims to better inform the general public, especially younger Americans, about the dangers of using decorative contact lenses without the supervision of an eye doctor and without a prescription.
The campaign, to be released in spring 2014, features an edgy, Hollywood-sourced PSA, targeted for online video-streaming services.
It will be produced and distributed in part because of additional support from the TearLab Corporation.
"Dr. Clayton-Jeter's personal commitment and dedicated leadership on the Decorative Contact Lens Campaign—as well as her important contributions to a host of other important projects—clearly illustrates her superior abilities to bring together patients, patient advocates, health professionals and health professional organizations," Dr. Duenas said.

Living well is encouraged at Chesapeake Energy Corp., an Oklahoma City-based oil and gas company, and doing so can result in up to $1,500 for employees. Chesapeake Energy offers a Living Well corporate fitness program to its 9,000 employees nationwide. The program has four parts to it, and individual success in those four areas can equal a $1,500 payout to employees.
The company's 50-acre corporate campus in Oklahoma City hosts a 72,000-square-foot fitness facility that employs 15 full-time employees and 30 contracted trainers and instructors, says Bryan Jackson, Living Well coordinator at the Chesapeake Energy Fitness Center.
The voluntary Living Well program encourages employees to actively participate in their health and well-being through regular exercise and health screenings.
"Definitely most employees are pretty appreciative to be working for this type of company," Jackson says. "A lot of people say when they started they didn't know how out of shape they'd become, and now they have better focus at work."
He says studies show that employees who participate in corporate wellness programs have fewer accidents on the job, take fewer sick days and benefit from lower insurance premiums.
"Corporate fitness is all about prevention," he notes.
The four areas of the program are participation, physical activity, "know your numbers" and healthy body weight. Participation includes attendance at health and wellness activities, such as educational lunch-and-learns. The physical activity portion has two options for employees — either exercise for 30 minutes a day, three days per week in the company's fitness center, or walk 10,000 steps, five days a week. Know your numbers includes screenings for blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose. Healthy body weight is gauged by an employee's body mass index.
Participants earn Living Well points throughout the program, which runs from January to November, by participating in various programs and activities. Jackson says this well-rounded approach helps employees succeed in losing weight and improving their health.
"We have a comprehensive program," he says. "If you just do one area, you could be missing a whole population — the more comprehensive, the better."
This is the fifth year Chesapeake has offered the program. In the first year, 800 employees participated, but this year, almost 6,000 participate. In 2009, 46 percent of participating employees attained a healthy body weight, and 1,083 of the 5,255 participating employees that year received the $1,500 bonus. The company paid out around $1.62 million in wellness bonuses during 2009.
Although the bonus numbers may seem surprising, Chesapeake is a natural gas and oil company that posted a net income of $590 million on $2.8 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2010. The company ranks No. 34 this year on Fortune magazine's list of 100 Best Companies to Work For and was recognized on Computerworld's annual list of Best Places to Work in IT. In addition, WomansDay.com named Chesapeake as one of the 9 Companies with the Best Perks, saying it goes "above and beyond standard benefits."
Jackson says the company's fitness benefits serve as a recruiting tool for potential employees.
The success of the Living Well program is that it offers something for all levels of fitness and allows employees to learn as they go along, Jackson says.
"Some people are intimidated by gyms," Jackson says. "In our program, there's something for everyone and all fitness levels."
And the chance to earn an extra $1,500 per year doesn't hurt either.

Solar panel working process
In addition to being the ultimate source of all life on earth, the sun is an infinitely renewable, completely pollution-free source of electricity. Instead of burning fossil fuels dug up from the ground in a big power plant – a very 19th century, industrial age approach, when you think about it – solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, with no harmful emissions.
The basic unit of a solar panel is a solar cell, which usually consists of one or two layers of silicon-based semiconductor wafers. When struck by the photons in sunlight, the solar cell generates an electrical charge due to the "photovoltaic effect" – which is a pretty good name, since it produces voltage from photons. The flow of these electrons moves in a steady electrical current from one side of the cell to the other.
Dozens of these PV cells are packaged together into solar modules, which in turn are packaged into solar panels that are mounted on a rooftop and arranged to maximize their hours of exposure to direct sunlight. Because the electricity generated by all those solar cells is direct current (DC), it is then sent to an inverter that transforms the power into the same alternating current (AC) used by the appliances in your home and the local utility electricity distribution grid. Increasingly, these inverters are getting "smart," providing data monitoring for solar installation performance and other grid integration services.
