MEATHOUSE ROAD, Ky. – All that was left standing of a home located on Meathouse Road in the community of Canada, Ky., that had been built by the grandfather of Michael Thornsbury was a brick fireplace and chimney surrounded by the still smoldering melted tin roof, burned grass and scorched trees.
Thornsbury, the owner of his childhood home, is the suspended without pay Circuit Judge of Mingo County who was indicted last month in federal court on charges of engaging in criminal conspiracies to violate the criminal rights of the husband of his former secretary and mistress.
This suspicious fire is actually the second one that has occurred on this piece of property in just a little over a year, with the first occurring on June 26, 2012. The 2012 fire involved a small, older family home located adjacent to the one that burned shortly before the sun rose in to the sky Thursday morning, and was described as being used as a storage building that was said to have contained a large amount of combustible materials including books and boxes of paperwork and files. No information has been released so far as to what may have been inside the larger wooden structure.
Members of the Big Creek Volunteer Fire Department responded to the call, under the direction of Fire Chief Rick Green. The Williamson Daily News has attempted to contact the fire chief for a comment about the suspicious fire but according to the firefighter that took our call, they have been instructed to not provide a statement about the blaze except to say it was suspicious in nature and was under investigation by the arson investigator with Pikeville Post 9 of the Kentucky State Police as well as federal officers.
A family member of Thornsbury stated that the loss of their family home was like losing their grandparents all over again, and said that it has hurt the entire family who has such fond memories that were made within the walls of the burned rubble. Neighbors who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution told the Daily News that as far as they knew, there was no electricity connected to either structure that has caught fire. One passerby, who identified himself as Joshua Leedy, stated that he personally believes that if there was insurance on the home that it may have been burned to collect those funds, and says he has also thought that it may have been ignited by someone who disliked the judge or wanted to cause him or his family some grief.
"It's hard to say what happened, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that two homes without electrical service hooked up to them, both owned by the same person and located on the same piece of property, don't burn to the ground in right at a year apart without someone's help," said Leedy. "I've lived in this area for most of my life and that stuff just doesn't happen around here. Whoever is responsible, I hope they are arrested and punished for this."
No official statements concerning the origin of the fire have to date, been released by investigators, but will be reported to the public by the Daily News as soon as it is made available.

Barrow leader pledges to push marina bid
Last updated at 14:05, Monday, 23 April 2012
THE fight for Barrow's marina project goes on, despite the government tightening its purse strings.
Leader of Barrow Borough Council, Councillor Dave Pidduck, has pledged to keep the bid to redevelop Barrow's waterfront moving in the face of a lack of funding opportunities.
Progress on the scheme has stalled after Furness Enterprise and the now closed Barrow Regeneration missed out on government money.
The council now owns the majority of land required to carry out the work and Cllr Pidduck said the hard work to boost the development continues.
He said: "It is very much wait and see. There are pots of money coming out here and there, and we will continue to put bids in, but they are such small amounts of money available.
"An example is the Porteous funding, where we have put a bid in to support Dalton and now we are obviously working with the retailers in Barrow to see if we can put a bid in for that.
"We will keep plugging away, but we are just wishing it was like before, when there was money that we could go to for big projects."
Cllr Pidduck said the council was working with Associated British Ports to gain funding for the port and revealed that plans for the industrial side of the development were also progressing.
He said: "On the industrial side we are hoping to take control. We are having conversations with the county council about that.
"We feel it would make more sense for the district to take control of this area and to market it. We are hoping that is going to happen quite quickly.
"We are keen to make sure that the site is up to standard. We want to be in a position that if announcements like Glaxo expanding are made then we can present an opportunity that will make investors want to come here."
Barrow and Furness MP John Woodcock has said that local organisations need to work together to fight for the area.
He has called a meeting on May 11, when projects such as the marina development will be discussed.
Mr Woodcock said: "What we need for the area is to review our economic visions for the future.
"We need to speak with one voice about what is important to us and all work together in Furness to have a frank discussion about what our priorities are."

Have your say
Mr Pidduck,instead of a Marina,could we not have some of those plastic Rhinos like they have in Dalton dotted around the regeneration area,it would be a lot cheaper and if they can brighten up a dull and boring place like Dalton they would work wonders down the docks.
Darren cavendish brought industry for this town for working class people& for the scope of it being a good place for producing work this marina has nothing to do with this this marina is for rich well of people, many barovians won`t be able to afford places like this,it will bring more people in but push barrovians out, also by the time this is built it will be behind times,it has now got liverpool whitehaven,maryport to vie for competition, wich barrow will not be in the running as there already established, it will be a waste of money, barrow`s still small compared to other place`s,like other`s that have commented there`s other problems to sort out in this town.

Lee Mingwei: The Moving Garden
- Dates: October 5, 2011 through January 22, 2012
- Collections: Contemporary Art
... more
Lee Mingwei: "The Moving Garden"
An orchid-filled granite tabletop, The Moving Garden welcomes visitors to the Brooklyn Museum with its beauty and majestic presence. The large installation on view here, however, is only a small part of what constitutes this work of art. Over the course of a day, the individual orchid blossoms set around the channel that runs the length of the tabletop begin to disappear as visitors take them, one by one. In contrast, the stems of orchids in the center remain on view at all times.
Those of you who decide to take an orchid blossom are thereby agreeing to a condition set forth by the artist: if you take a flower, when you leave the Museum you promise to make a detour on the way to your next destination and give the flower to a stranger as a gift. This personal interaction, the offering and acceptance of a gift, is the most significant aspect of The Moving Garden. The act takes place beyond the walls of the Museum, and only the participants are aware that is is happening.
Invited to take part in the Lyon Biennale in 2009, Lee conceived of the piece while making a preliminary visit to the city during the spring, when flowers were blossoming. As he was sitting near the Rhône River, which runs through the city, he was delighted by the unexpected sight of hundreds of flowers floating downstream.
The Moving Garden is associated with relational or participatory art, forms in which the artist becomes a kind of stage producer who engages audience members in creating the work. Spectators become active participants. The work of art unfolds over time and manifests itself in an action, rather than in an object.
If you wish, you may document your gift of a flower to a stranger.

text: Definitely going to be interesting. I think he gives strikers more pause than is being credited, for the same reasons GSP does even if he doesn't mix his TDs in as well. I could see him quickly entering the top 5 of the WW division in the UFC. But the only way I see him beating GSP is if GSP gets frustrated and mentally off his game once Askren gets on top of him (which is bound to happen at least once).

Lomography - the return of analogue
What do Hollywood actor Elijah Wood, recently disbanded US rock group The White Stripes and English sci-fi author Neil Gaiman have in common? Give up? The answer is that they're all fans of cult analogue photography brand Lomography (or Lomo to its friends).
Famous for cameras such as the Diana and the LC-A, Lomo is popular with both young hipsters and older fans who prefer the good old days before digital photography came along and completely changed the way we take pictures. But, in this age of technical know-how, why is analogue photography so popular again? We settled down for a chat with Lomography UK's online manager, Heidi Mace, at the company's central London gallery store in order to shed some more light on the subject.
"It has a lot to do with people growing a bit tired with their digtial cameras. Even though digital is obviously a great innovation that has revolutionized photography, people get bored of them because they know what they've got before they've even upoaded them. People love the fact you never quite know what you've taken until you get your Lomo pictures back. You get more interesting results and so you feel like you're achieving something.
"The cameras are pretty simplistic in a way, but that gives you a lot of artistic licence. You can do lots of different things, without spending lots of money or having to understand aperture settings etc. When I first started using lomo cameras, I didn't have a clue what any of that was, but I still managed to find a way of taking photos without having to worry about getting all of the technical settings right."
Although it's true that you there's a lot of flexibility with Lomo photos and that some of the cameras are cheap as chips, you do need to take into account the extra that you'll be spending on films and processing. This is in direct contrast to digital photography where all you really need is the camera itself and a memory card. Unless you're getting into DLSRs and interchangeable lenses, but that's a subject for another day.

Going back to the story, Lomography originates from the early 1990s, when two students from Vienna in Austria first got their mitts on the Lomo Kompakt Automat - a pint-sized Russian camera. They fell in love with the vibrant colours and deeply saturated finish produced by the camera and after showing off their LC-As to their pals at home, they wanted in on the act as well. As a result, the duo ended up bartering a deal with the St Petersburg-based manufacturer for worldwide distribution and the rest is history. The brand now has stores all over the world along with a huge online business.
With relatively few actual bricks and mortar stores in comparison to the number of online fans, is the secret of Lomo's success down to the community feel that surrounds the brand? "Definitely", says Mace.
"People are really into Lomo all over the world, we have a massive website - there's Lomography.com as well as 13 different language sites, all with their own content. My role is working with the active community in the UK, to make sure that we're reaching out to people all over the country. To an extent it's London-centric [currently the only two UK stores are both in London], but we have lots of fans all over the UK and we try to spread our events to other places so that they can get involved."
One way in which Lomo is spreading its net is with the introduction of a remote processing service - a first for the UK Lomo market. The new service, which was exclusively revealed to Pocket-lint prior to its launch, began beta testing on 1 March with a full service launch tentatively planned for April 2011. Previously Lomo camera users could only get their film developed by Lomography by taking their films into the stores and picking up their prints or discs in person.
It's also possible to get films processed at high street chains or the local chemists although sometimes a fair bit of explanation is involved. You have to ask the staff not to colour correct your film and if you're taking panoramic shots, not to cut the negatives up. It can work out cheaper than using Lomo's own service, but many people feel that getting their film processed through the Lomo shop offers a better result. The new Lab will also be available for non-Lomo analogue shutterbugs to get their processing done. Mace explained to us how the service will work, commenting:
"All you'll need to do is tick a few boxes on the website and we'll send you a special envelope to send your first film in and you'll get your prints and/or discs sent to you, hopefully within a week, and you'll also get a link to access your prints online, which should be available much sooner. You'll be sent a new envelope with every order. The packaging that we send your prints to you in is beautiful - you get a little envelope for your pictures and a box for your negatives. We're trying to keep the prices in line with our shop prices, with a little extra for postage and packing.
"We already run a successful mail order service in Asia and we're currently carrying out pre-launch testing in the USA".
The brand's new UK-based processing service has been made possible thanks to its new LomoLab, located at its East London store. Lomo fans will also be pleased to hear that the lab will be offering workshops in the same way that gallery stores do. These usually involve a group of people going out and about for a few hours with one of the Lomo shop staff, a loaned camera and a film to take shots of a specific event or area, such as Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown or a tour of Jack the Ripper's haunts in East London. All for a small fee, of course, although you do get a discounted rate on any extra films you want to buy and on processing your snaps.
"We'll have one with everyday household chemicals, as these can have really cool effects on the film. There are all sorts of crazy things you can do to add little extra to your shots - I want to try putting my film in a dishwasher, but unfortunately, I don't have one! Apparently the heat makes the film come out in bright, neon colours. Our East London store manager accidentally put her film in the washing machine, but it gave a really cool effect to the film. Some people even drill holes through their cameras because they like to get light leak on every shot."
As we mentioned earlier, the Lomo brand has a fair few famous fans, with the The White Stripes even teaming up with the company a couple of years ago to produce two custom cameras - the "Jack" Holga and "Meg" Diana+ - named after the members of the band. Bearing the band's trademark black, white and red colour scheme, the cameras were made in a limited edition run of just 3000 of each.
Lomography's most recent celeb collaboration is with British model Daisy Lowe who is taking on a project to help with the British Heart Foundation's new 5-year project called Mending Broken Hearts. Lowe will be snapping away with an Lomo LC-A for an exhibition to be held at London's Westfield shopping centre in the near future.
It seems a reasonable assumption to make that the resurgence in popularity of analogue photography is, somewhat ironically, fuelled by the success of retro camera apps like Hipstamatic. These kind of apps are loathed by some photography purists, but what does Mace think?
"There's definitely a place for them and they're a great way to make your boring camera photos look more exciting. It's a completely different breed of photography, although it is slightly limiting as you only get to choose from a small range of virtual films and lenses. Personally, I don't ever use the camera on my iPhone because I always have my Lomo with me."
And, what of plain old digital photography?
"I was very into my digital photography for many years and I've still got my beaten-up old digital camera at home that I still sometimes take out with me to a party. Sometimes I take both cameras out at once. When I first got my Diana I used to only take it out on special occasions but now, more and more, I only take that one and I always choose it over digital. Ultimately I prefer the photos that I get from film. I do sometimes take the digital as backup to be sure, but I always prefer the analogue shots in the end.
"I'm a big fan of the Diana+ as it was my first Lomo camera, and I've now got two. I've also got an LC-A which takes really lovely, reliable photos. Obviously working for the company, I'm lucky in that I can use any of the cameras that I want, but those are the ones that I always go for."
Taking lovely, arty shots with an analogue snapper is all very well, but it can't offer the reliability that you get from a digital camera which even Mace admits.
"There are certainly limitations to analogue cameras. You don't have your photos instantly and people tend to find that quite hard to get used to. You also have to be much more aware of light levels. It's not complicated, but whereas your digital camera would probably automatically correct the light levels, you have to do it yourself on a Lomo. However, I think that the freedom to experiment that analogue offers, means that the good points outweigh the bad."
Finally, we couldn't resist asking - will Lomo ever make a digital camera?
"I can never say for sure what the developers are planning, but I don't think it will ever happen - in the same way that Apple wouldn't suddenly start making toasters."
Are you a Lomo fan? Or will you be sticking to digital snaps?

Rectal Cancer
Rectal Cancer Overview
The rectum is the lower part of the colon that connects the large bowel to the anus. The rectum's primary function is to store formed stool in preparation for evacuation. Like the colon, the3 layers of the rectal wall are as follows:
In addition to these 3 layers, another important component of the rectumis the surrounding lymph nodes (also called regional lymph nodes). Lymph nodes are part of the immune system and assist in conducting surveillance for harmful materials (including viruses and bacteria) that may be threatening the body. Lymph nodes surround every organ in the body, including the rectum.
Of the 150,000 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed each year in the United States, more than 40,000 people are diagnosed with rectal cancer. The most common type of rectal cancer is adenocarcinoma, which is a cancer arising from the mucosa. Cancer cells can also spread from the rectum to the lymph nodes on their way to other parts of the body.
Like colon cancer, the prognosis and treatment of rectal cancer depends on how deeply the cancer has invaded the rectal wall and surrounding lymph nodes. However, although the rectum is part of the colon, the location of the rectum in the pelvis poses additional challenges in treatment when compared with colon cancer.
This article only discusses issues related to rectal adenocarcinoma.

Dec 31 2012: I see little girls from rural Afghanistan, have gone to school, completed college and specialty degrees in education, built homes for themselves and built schools where they work everyday, teaching, they are self sufficient, they are mentors and role models, they have lovely and supportive husbands by their side, equally educated, with whom they raise their own boys and girls, respectfully care and provide for their elders, as well as help educate generation after generation of boys and girls in their schools. It is a peaceful, blessed Afghanistan, with abundant jobs, people working side by side, busy productivity, a wellspring of art and culture, tourists are coming from everywhere and enjoying the enriching inspirations of a beautiful people..........

Unless we hold our leaders personally responsible for "collateral damage" (death of civilians). With a death sentence for collateral damage, war ends overnight.
Dec 24 2012: No David....I want it NOW!!!
I don't think/feel we can "hold our leaders personally responsible". I truly believe peace begins with each and every one of us as individuals. How will peace grow as a global goal, if we do not start the seeds in ourselves?
Dec 25 2012: "I don't think/feel we can "hold our leaders personally responsible"."
By that logic, if a Mafia boss orders someone to kill someone else, and they do, the mafia boss should not be held responsible. If you start a war you should be held accountable for your actions.
From a purely logical perspective, if an opposing force targets just the leaders less people will die, the wars will have less of a chance of starting in the first place, and the war will end quickly, with less people dead.
What is the death ration in the first Iraq war 3 or 4 civilians to every soldier? What is the ratio of civilians to terrorists in the drone strike campaigns?Dec 25 2012: David,
Yes, I agree....if a person starts a war, s/he should be held accountable. However, very few wars are started by only one person. A person needs support to enter full force into a war. WE elect those who have the capability to start wars, so ultimately, it is our responsibility as well......would you agree? Too many people have died in wars...it is time to stop fighting.
Dec 25 2012: Note the word "leaders" in my comments above. I do not mean one person. I mean all people voting for and starting a war that leads to civilian death.
My question is simple, why do we not consider collateral damage murder, and why do we not hold those responsible accountable?
War is a word that says, I am a leader and a thug, wishing to reallocate wealth through violence, or to pay those who support me in an indirect way.Dec 25 2012: Noted.Dec 20 2012: To a time when the human race has hope again. A hope equivalent to the hope in the early Industrial Age. When mankind got off the ground, looked around, and said, I want to go there. And they did. No excuses, just pure detrmination with a crazy sense of vision.
If there is ever a time when man kind has that spirit again, it would be a wondrous thing to see.

To see if truly I will really be a good father, raising my kids back in our ancestral hometown in Central Java while successfully improving the life of the tobacco farmers in my village....Jan 2 2013: Although it would be nice to see something about the future at large, I think that after thinking a little longer most of us would choose something where the knowledge of the future would change our present actions. Knowledge whether peace will come to Afghanistan or if humanity survives will probably not change your present actions or your future life too much. Knowing next weeks lottery numbers most certainly will. Knowing who you will fall in love with will not change your choice of partner, knowing whether you will be happy after 20 years of marriage will.
As for the question of Afghanistan, the question is not 'if' but 'when'. Currently there are still too many powerful people that fear that they will lose power if there is peace (clan leaders etc.). To change that Afghanistan will a large number of people that believe that they will be better off if there is peace - the internet would help to connect the people to form a large group. But it is just as important to get people to believe that there is prosperity in peace. Afghanistan is surrounded by countries that have peace (at least on the surface) but have little prosperity, so that doesn't help. I'd say that in the wake of the economic upswing after the arab spring some surrounding countries should get significantly whelthier, providing a perspective and a trade opportunity for their neighbours. I'd say sometime after 2030, but I'm no expert.
Jan 2 2013: And the other question is not just 'when'....
I remembered just a week ago, in the wake of 8 years remembrance of the Aceh Tsunami that devastated the Aceh province and the Western coast of Sumatra in my country Indonesia, lots of interviews and analysis have been broadcasted over the TV channels, radios and YouTube about this particularly great disaster that brought many change to Indonesian life.... from how it triggers the Aceh Peace Agreement, how Indonesians manage their local wisdom and the modern technology to be preventive against a natural disaster situation....
One of the most important things that puts me in great conscience of the essence in your country Afghanistan, as well as mine Indonesia, as well as other developing countries with conflict.... is not just how to get to peace.
But how to give a peace solution that can LAST FOR A LONG TIME. A sustainable peace for generations. That is the key.Dec 30 2012: I know its kind of selfish but i would see who i will fall in love withDec 30 2012: I'd like to see a world;
Where caring about the other is the primary lifestyle in every individuals life.
Where people do not see each other as competitors, but as collaborators.
Where empathy exists before judging.
Where the idea of sharing is common to us. Sharing our joy to everyone, and also sharing our sadness's to someone. And also where the "someones" are honest.
In short, probably I'd like to see the perfect human being.

Will humans stop playing chess?

Dec 16 2012: Tomorrow's lottery numbers.
- +1
Dec 24 2012: Damn ... I wish I would have seen this last week. They will be 1, 18, 35, 39, 44, (11) ;)Jan 15 2013: I wouldd like to see the next dominating species after humans. How they will look like and how they act. How are they different from us. Probly i'll have to go some million yrs forwardJan 15 2013: I'd love to see the effects of human activities on the world and the environment. A good place to start would be the 'Earth song' by Michael Jackson. We shall have brought about more war, diseases, terrorism... and we shall at some point wonder what was the purpose of all of this? Prayers of peace, followed by action... is urgently needed. Will a great spiritual evolution take place, shall the world have transformed itself in to one where peace, love and unity are the order of the day.Jan 14 2013: I think I would choose to find out whether anything we do now truly matters; there will be a point in time in the future where humanity is either dead and gone, or has succeeded beyond the ability of any war or ecological disaster to destroy it. I would like to know what those humans are like, and if what we do to day matters in that struggle.Jan 12 2013: If children are still smiling to eachother in the future...
it's the only way you can know there is any hope.Jan 12 2013: Well, frankly speaking, it would be a buzz kill, so I'd rather not lol
But if I should, then personally, I just want to see how I'd be doing in the future—whether it's 20 years after or 30 years after.
And if there's anyone who died or something changed drastically in my country, then I shall keep this in mind that I should treat the person who will die in 20 years wholeheartedly so that I wouldn't regret while saying, "I should have been better to him/her." in the future.
If what future shows me is something bad, something we wouldn't really want to face, I would keep cheering myself up to do something right to see if I can give it a shot to change the flow of future generation's 'drastic change' beforehand.
…And even if I have a chance to see what would really happen in the future, I wouldn't want to convince people as some sort of prophet.
Even if I see what future holds for us, I shall not talk about it a lot.
I know how small I am. I may be passionate, but I don't want to force people to listen to me as if I am the only one who knows the truth. They might not listen to me at all.
So many burdens to take.
Nonetheless, interesting question, indeed! :)Jan 12 2013: I do not know which career path to chase in my life and that is why I would like to see myself . Just to be assured that I can make the ''impossible'' possible and not to be scared of what I really want.
Jan 15 2013: Are you limited to only one career in your lifetime? Start down one path and then figure out how to navigate towards the other. keep your options open.Jan 11 2013: I would like to see "water cars"... End of the EVIL OIL..and will like to see if it will change power dynamics amongst various countries of the worldJan 11 2013: I would like to go into the future 500 years to see what advancements had happened and what they were saying about our time now. This would include many of the current problems we are facing. i.e. Poverty,Accessible drinking water, Global Climate issues, Food supply and distribution, Healthcare,Population size, Education, War, Economics, Pollution of everykind and of course Technological advancements. I can only hope that what they say would make me proud, but they way the pace of things are going I think this is unlikely. But I still hold out hope!! Thanks...Jan 10 2013: I think I would like to visit the far-flung future, maybe 2000 or even 3000 years from now and just sit on a bench (or whatever it is that people sit on in the future).
I would like to watch as people go about their day to day lives and look for similarities. Like the way they walk and talk, the way they might rush around with a coffee or some futuristic beverage or the way they might chat amongst themselves on the way to work and school.
I would love to see how much of us is in them, how much of our cultures, personalities and idiosyncrasies survived the passage of time, no matter how diluted and how they would have mixed together to form permutations of ourselves that we would never even have considered. At the end of my journey to the future I would like to know whether mankind got better with age or is the worst yet to come; and with all the differences and variations, who is more human?Jan 10 2013: I would want to see at what moment I would be the most content in my life.... I'd like to see the expression on my face and feel how I would feel just for a moment.Jan 8 2013: I would definitely want to see how I am doing financially. As a freshmen in college it stresses me out knowing that when I graduate I will be around $40,000 in debt, I know that isn't as bad as some other people have it, but I would love to see how I am doing when I am 40 (being 18 now).Jan 8 2013: Interesting. What does the 'singularity' mean? Does 1st contact mean god (or gods)?Jan 8 2013: Eternity.Jan 4 2013: On my philosophical side, I am not sure there would be anything new to see in the near future. I mean, a war may end in one place and be ongoing in another. My ipad might have a holographic display... but, I don't believe there will be a " I never saw that coming moment". If I go farther out in time, and find that the earth has been visited by a being from another plant, that would shake my belief that mankind was a joke played by God on the universe. Worse case, I would find the earth as part of the corona of a dying sun. Pragmatically, I would just want the lottery numbers.

It's not death that bothers me though. It's somewhat familiar to me now. What does bother me about it however is not finding out about how everybody's life works out.

Jan 2 2013: Hi Genevieve,
- +1
I have actually spent my whole life in war, my mother said when I was born war was continuing in our village, I spent my childhood & teenage time hiding from bullets and surviving. I count myself one of lucky ones who survived.
Unfortunately it is still not over and I,m tired of it , I just want to get out of this situation no matter what I need to do and would never want my kids go through this experience.
Jan 7 2013: You might be a young person, but I hope you might be happy to know that there are people in their 50s and 60s who remember being curious international tourists in Afghanistan in the 1970s--going to see the buddha statues in Bamyan and the markets in Kabul. They miss this dearly. But, I really think that peace-time Afghanistan is retrievable :) Nothing is impossible!
I have an idea: why not put out a request to people on TED, on Facebook, and twitter--all over the world to upload their old beautiful pictures of Afghanistan? Build up a digital memory of what Afghanistan really is in peace times. I think people would totally participate--who wouldn't want to celebrate having known this lovely country when it was open to the world? Looking back, what a rare opportunity it was! And it would be a lovely tribute to a culture put on hold for 30 years. Who knows, it could motivate the hardest people to turn this war around. I know one Japanese man who has photos of himself visiting the buddha statues that he showed me once. I'll ask him to upload them (tho he might not like FB). I'll ask the TED community in an "idea" module if they have any photos to share to a FB page. If so, I'd love to show you the "future" of Afghanistan :) (made from important pieces from the past...) [Update: Some friends have helped already: https://www.facebook.com/TheAfghanistanIKnow ]Jan 1 2013: If humanity survives.Dec 29 2012: I'd like to see the successful use of a time travel machine - then get in - come back and do it all over again. :)Dec 29 2012: If my suspicions Facebook will be replaced by a truly social, non-commercial, user-supported version of something similar, like private personal blogs. They will look like anything we want them to, and they are connected to each other through a list of 'friends', but we can more-readily compartmentalise our 'friends' like we do in real life, without ads and irrelevant 'likes' popping up. It will be self-funded, and if I like a product, I can say "hey, I like this product", stick a link to it in my profile without the company who owns the product knowing. I think people want to be more genuine than what Facebook currently accommodates. It's become a machine, and I think people like the 'cottage' feel of something more unique and personal.Dec 26 2012: space exploration , how far it would reach !Dec 26 2012: I would see a lot of augmented reality everywhere with very advanced mechanics. I would own a watch with all of these functions Speedometer - speed
Barometer - pressure
Thermometer - temperature
Altimeter - altitude
Seismograph - seismic activity
Hygrometer - h2o level
Compass - direction
Odometer - distance traveled
Pedometer - step calculator
Cardiograph - heart beat counter
Multimeter - electronic tester
Distance Meter
Calorimeter - Chemical Reaction
Lactometer - Milk Testing
Chronometer - Time Keeper
Magnetometer - Magnet Tester
Light Meter - Measure Light
Chemical Detector
Metal Detector
Phase Frequency Detector
Radio Frequency Detector
Glucose Meter
Gas Detector
Degree Meter
Dilatometer - Measure changes in volume
Every object oriented program on my watch could transmit an receive data somewhat similar to wifi but faster using an advanced system broadcasted world wide. We would never need to use battery's or fuel for power because we would print 3d objects that would be vital to our environment and intertwie nature with human intelligence. Food would be very nutritious and all sicknesses would be cure able along with health issues of any kind freely. Human intelligence will increase with a domination of abundance toward the rest of the universe and in the end of mortality as we become immortal we will all actually invite the posibility to remember and undo every mistake we as humans ever done.Dec 25 2012: Tough one!Dec 24 2012: Simple, the internet. This way I could come back with all the knowledge I want or need.Dec 23 2012: In my lifetime I see where attempts to revise history were made. I would like to go forward to see if history was recorded accurately or revised to fit a purpose.

The new Mini Countryman JCW
Controversial new sporty Mini. We don't recommend it...
Posted: 07 Sep 2012
Another new Mini?
Afraid so, and this is the most controversial (and expensive) production version yet. A John Cooper Works Countryman, with four wheel-drive and the availability of an automatic gearbox.
Sorry, did you say automatic?
Yes. Because Mini expects this car to sell well in the US and China, it needs an auto - it's the first time a JCW has come with a self-shifter.
However, we'll get the manual as standard. With it, and thanks to the updated 1.6-litre turbo'd engine producing 215bhp and 221lb ft, the Mini does the 0-62mph sprint in 7.0 seconds. Which is OK, but not exactly scorching. A front-wheel drive hot hatch, which should have poorer traction, is quicker.
Still - four-wheel drive. That should make it great fun to drive, a bit like a Subaru Impreza WRX?
Afraid not. Mini has wound this Countryman JCW back in a bit, so it's certainly not as frenetic as that icon, nor even as manic as the normal Mini hatch JCW. Which means it rides slightly better, but it does also mean that it's missing the fun factor. There's no luncacy here, which is what you expect of the JCW badge.
It's a well-balanced, grippy thing that turns in sharply, but doesn't zing and won't encourage a back-road blast.
Er, but it looks OK?
Really? Are you sure? You get a lot of extra body kit to make sure that people know you're driving a JCW version, but I wouldn't say it looks OK. The best thing is that it's no more ugly than the standard version. Talk about damning with faint praise.
So you're probably not going to recommend this?
Nope. The trouble is that at £28,595, there's a lot of seriously talented opposition out there. Granted, none of the oppo has four-wheel drive, so from that point of view Mini has crafted a new niche, but if you told us we could either have this or a Ford Focus ST, we'd be heading for Essex every single time.

No. 1
Evening Land ?Vineyards
2009 Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard La Source Eola-Amity Hills, $60
A collaboration between winemaker Isabelle Meunier and consulting winemaker Dominique Lafon, this wine is the result of a perfect storm of conscious viticulture, a merciful growing season, and a touch of magic. With layer upon layer of flavor—bright Meyer lemon, apple blossom, ripe Asian pear, and subtle spice, with well-blended caramel notes from careful oak aging—this wine has it all. Balanced, rich, and bright with crisp fruit, it is the quintessential expression of Oregon's new chardonnay. Meunier honed her skills in Burgundy, New Zealand, and her native Canada before ?arriving in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills region outside of Salem, where grapes for La Source are carefully grown and hand-selected.
Rating 94
Bethel Heights Vineyard
2009 Chardonnay Estate Grown Eola-Amity Hills, $25
Using a blend of Dijon and old-vine Wente clones, this classic chardonnay shows a welcome balance of richness and bright acidity. The best of the old-school Oregon style, this rich, golden wine marries minerality and flavors of ripe pineapple and lemon zest, resulting in a smooth palate that's full-bodied and perfumed but never cloying.
Ponzi Vineyards
2008 Chardonnay Reserve Willamette Valley, $30
2008 wasn't just a great year for pinot noir. The cool spring and Indian summer of that storied vintage also resulted in chardonnays that continue to impress. In this smooth-textured, golden wine, rich oak notes are balanced by bright acidity and fresh flavors of lemon curd and thyme. Pair with poached halibut, earthy mushrooms, and fava beans.
2008 Riesling Ara ? Willamette Valley, $25
Named after the altar that Noah built after the Flood, this riesling is the praise-worthy result of a tumultuous year. With heady scents of rose petals and apple and juicy flavors of peach, apricot, and kiwi, this bright and refreshing wine was featured at President Obama's first White House State Dinner, paired with red lentil soup.
Lange Estate winery & vineyards
2010 Pinot Gris Reserve ?Willamette Valley, $20
Don Lange was the first American winemaker to produce barrel-fermented pinot gris, and this legacy shines through in his son Jesse's latest vintage. Oak barreling lends richness to the wine's bright notes of green apple, honey, and lemon zest. Full-bodied from the first sip to the lingering finish, this wine will pair well with Mexican cuisine.
Rating 91
Raptor Ridge
2010 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley, $18
For fans of traditional Oregon pinot gris, winemaker Scott Shull's latest vintage will certainly satisfy. Featuring clean scents of apple blossoms and tangerine, sweet flavors of pears and Meyer lemon, bright acidity, and a juicy finish, this wine will pair well with clams in garlic butter or grilled salmon.
Stoller Vineyards
2008 Chardonnay SV Estate Dundee Hills, $28
The warm fall of 2008 allowed plenty of time for grapes to fully ripen, lending the vintage a lush, complex, and fruit-forward character. This creamy wine is packed with flavors of almonds, brioche, and baked apples, with a full body that will hold its own when paired with richer dishes like herb-roasted chicken, cheesy pasta, or creamy soups.
Adelsheim ?Vineyard
2010 Auxerrois Ribbon Ridge, $22
David Adelsheim imported Oregon's first vines of Auxerrois (pronounced oak-sair-wah) in the late '70s, but the varietal remains relatively unknown despite its success in Oregon's cool soils. Bursting with scents of orange blossom, tropical fruit flavors, and bright acidity, this refreshing wine will pair perfectly with crab salad, ceviche, or cured salmon.
Teutonic Wine Co
2010 Riesling Willamette Valley, $15
This small-production winery—offering only 126 cases of its 2010 riesling—is known for its high-acid, low-alcohol wines that are truly food-friendly. With soft notes of peaches, strawberry, and rose petals, this light wine begs to be paired with oysters or any fresh, briny seafood.
Rating 90
Elk Cove ?Vineyards
2010 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley, $18
With scents of sweet pear and almonds, fresh acidity, and flavors of baking spice and ripe peaches that linger on the palate, Elk Cove's 2010 estate pinot gris is a definite crowd pleaser. This food-friendly wine from one of Oregon's oldest wineries will be delicious with a citrus salad and fresh chèvre.
Rating 89
Amity Vineyards
2008 Dry ?Gewürztraminer Sunnyside Vineyard Willamette Valley, $20
This traditional golden gewürztraminer is rich, fruit-forward, and intense, with flavors of lychee, Asian pear, and fresh green herbs. Though labeled "dry," this wine offers a bright sweetness through complex fruit flavors, and will perfectly calm the heat of spicy Thai food.
Love and ?Squalor
2010 Riesling Willamette Valley, $18
Matt Berson's zesty riesling—made with organic grapes—is sweet, lush, and refreshing, offering flavors of peaches and mangoes for a balanced palate that'd be a perfect picnic sipper. Pack a backpack with a baguette, smoked salmon, Peppadew peppers, and a corkscrew, and you're set for a wonderful meal.
Rating 88
J. Albin Winery
2010 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley, $15
Bright flavors of ripe pear and white peaches, notes of buttery almond, and a peppery spiciness blend together for a rich palate that lingers and tempts you to keep sipping. Pair with melon and goat cheese salads, thin-sliced cured meats, and fresh peaches.
2010 Riesling Sweet P Riesling Willamette Valley, $22
Named for the winery's 15-year-old owner, Pascal, this fun, casual wine has a bright, sparkling sweetness balanced by juicy acidity. Bursting with flavors of honeydew, peaches, and lilac, Sweet P will be a hit at any potluck. But bring a few bottles: it'll go fast.
The Four Graces
2010 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley, $18
Stainless steel fermentation lends a clean subtlety to this silky wine from the Red Hills of Dundee. Bursting with citrus and green apple notes, this bright, lean pinot gris will pair well with pasta, fresh basil, and spicy Italian sausage.
