For the last three weeks I have been travelling around New Zealand and Australia, as part of a genealogy cruise and talks tour organised by Unlock the Past (www.unlockthepast.com.au). I managed to make one quick update on our progress whilst at sea (see http://britishgenes.blogspot.com/2011/11/cruise-progress-first-report.html), but internet access after that was difficult, hence why I'm only getting around to posting this final summary of events now. Here's a quick video to set the scene, depicting a Maori performance of the Haka at the Auckland War Memorial Museum!:
The theme of the cruise was based around Scottish and Irish family history research, definitely the territory of this Northern Irish Caledonian based Paddy, so I was delighted to be invited along! Also part of the talks team were Shauna Hicks, Richard Reid, Keith Johnson, Perry McIntyre, Jan Gow, Helen Smith and Rosemary Kopittke, and I think it is safe to say the thematic territory was safely covered, with many fascinating topics. In addition to talks on board the Volendam, a series of talks were given on shore at each of the stops – Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Picton, Wellington, Dunedin, Burnie (Tasmania), Melbourne and Sydney. In total I gave twenty one presentations, eleven separate topics on board ship, and the rest on shore (mainly the Discover Scottish Church Records and Irish Family History Online topics, for which I have written two Unlock the Past published tie-in books). For a brief video snippet of one, see http://britishgenes.blogspot.com/2011/12/theres-been-murder.html.
The whole tour started and ended with day long sessions in Auckland and Sydney, where Rosemary and I were the keynote speakers, but I want to give a special shout also to Brad Manera, who gave the talk that most enthralled me throughout the whole event. On the last day of the tour, Brad described the story of the Japanese submarine attack in Sydney in June 1942, a story I had never heard of, and one which fascinated me, my own father having been a submariner. Brad also spoke on the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese, again reinforcing that I know absolutely nothing of the Australian story of the Second World War – something I seriously plan to rectify. Incidentally, Unlock the Past is hosting a major event in Darwin next February entitled War Comes to Australia – further details can be found at www.unlockthepast.com.au/events/war-comes-australia-wwii.
Throughout the trip I had a chance to talk to both the other speakers and many of those who had signed up for the cruise. I also managed to visit many wonderful locations, including a tour of the last convict ship down under, the Edwin Fox, in Picton (see my video diary at http://britishgenes.blogspot.com/2011/12/last-convict-ship-down-under.html), a guided personalised tour of Archives New Zealand in Wellington (a big thanks here to Graham Langton), including a visit to see both the Maori and English versions of the Treaty of Waitangi (see www.nzhistory.net.nz/category/tid/133), the wonderful Auckland War Memorial Museum and the equally splendid Sydney Maritime Museum, including a chance to walk through a second Oberon class diesel powered submarine, built in Greenock – I had previously visited one of its sister vessels in Freemantle four years back. Just for good measure, I also did the Sydney Opera House tour, the single most enjoyable tour of an attraction I think I've ever been on!
Genealogically I learned so much on the trip that it would be impossible to include it all in a single post, but I now have a better idea of how to research convict migrants, the Australian and New Zealand archive sector, and a new found respect for the English and Welsh census search capabilities on The Genealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk) – and keep an eye on FindmyPast in all its aspects (UK, Ireland and Australasia), as there will be lots happening on that front soon! Having been to Oz last October, Toronto in June and now New Zealand, I have also concluded that Largs is the wettest place on earth, and I am now seriously contemplating migration, or even emigration!!!
The cruise itself was superb – we witnessed an active volcano (White Island), the beautiful fjords and glaciers of the sounds to the south of the south island of New Zealand, a helicopter trip over Burnie with my wife and kids, and I also did the following mad jape with my boys at Rotorua, taking my life in my hands on the Sky Swing, much to Alan and Anthea Phillips' amusement!:
Here's the slightly more up close and personal view, via the inbuilt PanicCam!:
I think my ambition to be the first genealogist in space took one step closer to fruition! (But check out the priceless look on my face when I pull the cord!) :)
One thing that amazed me on the cruise, and something Shauna Hicks has picked up on also (see www.shaunahicks.com.au/unlock-the-past-scottish-irish-genealogy-cruise-2011-overview), was that quite a few cruisers did not wish to purchase certain vital records that may have helped to provide a solution to their brick wall problems. I was quite taken aback by this at first, until it was pointed out to me that the cost of vital records certs in Oz is considerably higher than here in the UK. I had many one on one sessions with cruisers looking for advice on their brick walls, and was as impressed as I was last year at how much they had achieved so far from Scotland and Ireland. Several of the talks I did, notably the church records one, really clicked with many on the cruise, and I've thankfully had a lot of good feedback on them. On the back of these I've also had a lot of hints from several quarters about the possibility of me doing another book for UTP on Scottish land records, so watch this space...
It was also great to catch up with some past Pharos students of mine (www.pharostutors.com), including Wayne Nolan at Little River, NZ (near Akaroa), and Julie Morgan at Sydney, Oz, and to meet Ben Mercer from Inside History there too – the magazine is now a main fixture of Ozzie genealogy, and an impressive publication (see www.insidehistory.com.au).
There are so many people to thank, I will undoubtedly fail and miss a few, but here goes anyway! First, a big thanks to Alan Phillips of UTP for bringing us out, and particularly for our day out at Rotorua, one of two days I had off, where my family, Alan and his wife Anthea had a lot of fun sightseeing. Secondly, to Rosemary Kopittke – a real hero of the UTP project, partly because we did most of the shore based sessions together, but also for putting together my new Irish book for the company – at Wellington alone we sold over a $1000 worth of stock, and that is as much about how the book looks as what it contains, so a great job well done! A big thanks also to Lynne Blake from the New Zealand Society of Genealogists, who got us all to the church on time (i.e. the lecture venues!) throughout our Kiwi trip, and to all the local reps and drivers etc who ferried us from boat to venue – in most cases our shore visits were literally hit and run raids, before getting back to the boat for the all important "all aboard time", but on each visit I was able to learn something of the local area from some truly well informed people – including a translation of the big political scandal prior to the NZ elections (the teacup diaries!). Thanks to all!
A huge thanks also to the crew of the Volendam – including the Indonesian footballers on the crew who allowed my boys to play a match with them on an open basketball court on the ninth deck at 11.30pm at night on majorly swelling seas - and to Colette of Club HAL for looking after the boys each day! Also a huge thanks to my uncle Billy in Melbourne for looking after us on my second day off, and to my wife's sister Anita and her husband Declan for meeting up with us in Sydney, having flown over from Perth.
Unlock the Past's next cruise is to Noumea and Fiji in early 2013 – I'm not down for that one, but keep an eye on www.unlockthepast.com.au/events/3rd-unlock-past-history-genealogy-cruise for further details – should be a lot of fun!
Finally, the biggest laugh from the whole trip came from Shauna Hicks' partner Max. Each night our cabin stewards would make little towel animals through some weird kind of cloth based origami. Max kept upping the ante with his cabin attendants by making his own animals in retaliation. The one that could not be trumped was when he took a white dressing gown, stuffed it with pillows, and put a hat and pair of glasses on it. When the attendant went into his cabin to leave his next towel based endeavour he nearly had a minor cardiac at what was waiting for him! Shauna told my wife and myself about this over a drink and we could not stop laughing about it for ages!

Hooroo! :)

Minimum distances of 150 and 300 metres for GM maize
The Gene Technology Act is the legal basis for the cultivation of GM plants in Germany. Since 2004, it has been setting a framework of general rules on the co-existence of GM, conventional, and organic farming. In 2008 an amendment (the regulation on good farming practice for the cultivation of GM crops) came into effect. The cultivation provisions contained in it are designed to ensure that admixture between genetically modified and conventional or organic crops is largely prevented. Special provisions for maize cultivation are contained in an annex to the legislation, while similar cultivation provisions for potatoes are due to follow.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — About an hour into their set at New York's Beacon Theatre Wednesday night, the Beach Boys hit their stride, like a surfer catching that big, juicy wave.
Though the band's members – who reunited for a new album and 50th anniversary tour this spring – are certainly not mounting surf boards anymore, they proved last night that when it comes to surf-rock, they're still the kings.
It wasn't that the three-hour show – the band's second at the Beacon this week – didn't start on a high note. Following a generous introduction and Full House jokes from Beach Boys superfan, actor John Stamos, the band launched into early hits like "Catch a Wave" and "Surfer Girl." But as the Beach Boys inched toward their 20-minute intermission, the hits kept on coming and the crowd returned to its feet – energy that continued through the show's second half.
At times it felt like the band was rushing through the hits, but with as many hits as the Beach Boys had, it's hard not to do. They combined "Little Deuce Couple," "409" and "Shut Down" into a Hot Rod medley, and rolled right into "I Get Around." Stamos returned to play drums on "Be True To Your School," embracing the spotlight in a way fans wished Brian Wilson would.
Vocalist Mike Love deemed the song "the most patriotic song ever written," which echoed with what Stamos said at the show's start: "The Beach Boys represented America when everyone wanted to be America." Watching "America's band" back together, it was hard not to bask just a little in the glow of simpler times.
The hits may have been presented via tight, well-rehearsed medleys, but last night was a feast of harmonies – and make no mistake, that is the real reason to see the Beach Boys' reunion tour. Those who caught one of Wilson's intimate solo shows behind his 2010 Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin album were treated to a handful of Beach Boys hits, but the renditions didn't have the vocal power of the group's famous harmonies. Even those who think of Wilson as the mad genius behind the Beach Boys have to acknowledge that in a live setting, he needs them as much and they need him.
Though the crowd cheered each time Wilson started to sing, all members were on equal display at the front of the stage, with their army of a backing band carrying the rear. As fans saw at this year's Grammy Awards, Love still loves the spotlight, and more specifically, saucily pointing out into the crowd. He praised Wilson's talent for harmonies at every turn, much as he did earlier this week during the pair's interview with Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, and discussed his fondness for doo-wop before covering Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers' "Why Do Fools Fall In Love." It wasn't the only cover, either, with the Boys fittingly tackling the Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'."
"Sloop John B" slid right into "Wouldn't It Be Nice," the first of several Pet Sounds songs played last night. Later in the show, the band performed "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" and "God Only Knows," the latter of which served as an ode to deceased Beach Boy Carl Wilson. There were no holograms of Wilson, but rather a vintage video clip of him performing the track, which the band accompanied live, at times playing louder than the recorded vocals. The band also performed heartfelt ballad "Forever" in honor of Dennis Wilson, and dedicated new single, "That's Why God Made The Radio," to recently deceased FM radio pioneer Peter Fornatale.
During the encore, Wilson traded his grand piano for an electric guitar, and the gaggle of guitarists presented only positive sentiments as the show's send-off – "Good Vibrations" followed by "Fun Fun Fun." The crowd was feeling both as they filed out of the Beacon.

New York City is as much a focal point in the educational realm as it is in any other. The area features some of the most renowned schools, field experts, and programs that the world has to offer. The choice to seek an education in New York will provide students who are unaccustomed to urban life with an entirely new scope of experiences, ideas, and challenges.
The sheer magnitude of the city allows for potential students to better understand the tremendous advantages, and challenges, that one can face in acquiring an education in New York. One of those advantages comes in the high concentration and quality of schools in New York City. According to Joe Fodor, senior writer at City University of New York- Brooklyn College, "The concentration of schools in the New York area tends to attract the best instructors in their fields. Schools have the luxury of selecting the best teachers from a large teaching pool. Those schools and quality instructors also make for an especially strong environment for professional study."
There are a multitude of factors to consider when choosing a college in New York City. The importance of those factors will of course vary from student to student. However, the curriculum is likely an incoming student's chief consideration. The courses and programs offered should support the field the student is most interested in.
"The number one consideration should definitely be the program," said Cyndy Marchese, Vice President, International, at Berkeley College. "The student should try to make sure their school offers all the courses within their interest."
Naturally, New York City's top schools offer quite a few options for students to explore, including:
Top NY Private Colleges & Universities
- Barnard College
- Berkeley College - New York City
- Columbia University
- Eugene Lang College
- Fordham University
- Marymount College of Fordham University - New York
- Metropolitan College of New York
- New York Academy of Art
- New York University
- Pace University - New York City Campus
- Sanford-Brown Institute
- Yeshiva University
Top NY Public Colleges & Universities
- City University of New York (CUNY)
- City University of New York (CUNY), City College of New York
- CUNY - Brooklyn College
- CUNY - Hunter College
- CUNY - Kingsborough Community College
- CUNY - Lehman College
- CUNY - New York City College of Technology
- CUNY - York College
Top NY Professional Schools
- Katharine Gibbs School - Long Island
- Katharine Gibbs School - New York
- The Art Institute of New York City
- DeVry University - New York
Degrees offered at schools in NYC are varied. A short list includes the following:
Liberal Arts, Applied Science, Commerce, Computer Science, Design, Information Technology, Medicine, Mathematics, Music, Economics, Pharmacy, Philosophy, Architecture, Business Administration, Surgery, Religious Education, Technology, Business, Electrical Engineering, Forestry, Education, Environmental Studies, Fine Arts, and Physical Education.
Robert McHugh, an associate in higher education at the New York State Office College and University Evaluation, says that the city's flexibility can be a great asset to an undeclared student. "One of the advantages of having so many schools is that it's easy to change fields without too many problems," said McHugh. "In general there are a lot of [credit] transfers, but students should definitely get prior approval when they can."
For those who are unsure, it is a good bet to err towards a school with a broad program in liberal arts, or any other area that the student can narrow his or her interests down to.

Rhinelander Toyota Breaks Ground
Submitted: 05/03/2013
- Shovels hitting frosty dirt made for another good economic sign in Rhinelander. The local Toyota dealership will soon expand into this area next to their current business. The new building should add at least 12 new full-time jobs. But the construction says even more about business in the Northwoods."Anytime you put a new facility like we're going to do here, it's going to raise the interest of, 'hmm, growth and development's occurring' and it's kind of just a core root to draw more people in. Obviously I'm not going to invest the kind of money that we're investing if I don't believe this is a great place to be," said Mike Aus, operator of the Toyota Dealership. Bayland Builders will serve as general contractor for the new 33-thousand square foot building. The build will create 125 construction jobs. They expect to open the new facility by November 2013.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Zynga Inc announced on Tuesday sweeping changes across its upper ranks, including the departure of chief financial officer, David Wehner, as the troubled game publisher sought to revive its business and quell months of management turmoil.
The dominant publisher of games on Facebook named David Ko, 41, a top executive overseeing mobile games, its new chief operations officer. The position had been vacant since August when John Schappert stepped down after the company missed earnings expectations for two consecutive quarters and its stock price fell precipitously.
Wehner, who has joined Facebook Inc as a vice president of corporate finance and business planning, oversaw Zynga's high-profile initial public offering last December, which priced shares at $10 and valued the company at $8.9 billion. Since then, shares have tumbled almost 80 percent as investors questioned the durability of Zynga's business as gamers seemed to tire of aging hits like "CityVille."
Zynga shares edged up slightly in extended trade, rising by 2 cents to $2.13.
As part of the shakeup, Mark Vranesh, 45, Zynga's top accounting executive, will replace Wehner as CFO, while Steven Chiang was named to oversee all game development, the company said.
In addition, Barry Cottle, a business and corporate development executive, was named chief revenue officer.
The new appointments were approved by Zynga's board on November 7, according to regulatory filings.
Zynga's new look at the top comes as CEO and founder Mark Pincus fights to turn around his faltering company and re-establish its once-golden status in Silicon Valley. The appointments were made on a permanent basis, the company said Tuesday, although the position vacated by marketing head Jeff Karp, who departed abruptly in September, remains unfilled.
Pincus sought to instill a sense of stability in a memo to employees released to the public on Tuesday.
"Mark, David, Barry and Steve are rooted in our culture, committed to our future and part of the talented bench of leadership at Zynga," Pincus said. "I'm confident we have the right team to deliver on our mission of connecting the world through games and position us for long-term growth."
Last month, the company sharply revised its full-year outlook and began layoffs after warning that its revenues were slowing as gamers left its once-popular titles published on the Facebook platform in droves.
The company has since begun cost-cutting measures, including layoffs, while Pincus vowed to personally supervise game development, which had been plagued by delays in the past year.
Wehner, whose last day at Zynga was Tuesday, will report to Facebook CFO David Ebersman at the Menlo Park-based social networking company, which has close ties to Zynga because it derives a significant percentage of its revenues from the game publisher.
Facebook said in a statement: "Dave's deep expertise in finance, strategy and corporate development will be a great addition to our team."

Iceland is currently holding a contest to rename the country to improve its image, prompting backlash from the country's citizens who are desperate to protect their rich history of Bjork and that volcano going off that one time. However, before we act like a country changing its name is such a big deal, we should know that MANY famous countries have changed their name in the past, often to massively successful results. Here, in support of Iceland's proactive thinking, is a list of 10 Other Countries That Successfully Changed Their Names:

Support of Students in Quebec
The students of Quebec are not only fighting tuition hikes in their own province, they are leading the charge against crippling austerity measures forced upon citizens throughout the capitalist world. The importance, the vital necessity, of fighting austerity is reflected in this single issue.
If we fail to succeed in this fight, we will be aiding and abetting the criminal and wholesale theft of and destruction of a standard of life that is rightfully ours and it will be lost to our children. The legacy of this will be a legacy of barbarism. The importance of this struggle cannot be overstated. The students are fighting one of many fronts.
The Right to Education
Prior to Sputnik, access to higher education was almost exclusively a privilege of the monied classes. The Russians beat the Americans into space and as a result, the National Defense Education Act of 1958 was established in the United States. Other Western nations followed suit and the importance of higher education was widely recognized. Funding into scientific research and development and education in general was now a top priority.
It is no coincidence that access to education, health care, and the erosion of public infrastructure throughout the Western world follows the collapse of the Soviet Union. Competition between the two superpowers was directly and indirectly beneficial to citizens in many countries, most notably in the West. The disappearance of the evil Red menace, our collective nemesis, has ended the compulsion of Western governments to provide for a healthy 'commons'.
Access to higher education should be based on the individuals capacity to succeed. It should never be based on financial means. The latter only entrenches class privilege and divisions and it assigns scores of highly intelligent members of the working class to a life where they do not utilize their capacity. This is not only detrimental to the individual, it is detrimental to society as a whole; the end result being an educated class, many of which are in over their heads and an uneducated class, many of which resent their occupations and lives. Most of us know many examples of both in spite of access to student loans and bursaries for working class people.
The principle we need to uphold is that if an individual has the capacity and desire to be a doctor, an engineer, or a rocket scientist the individual should be granted the means and the encouragement to do so.
The Student Strike
The intensity and the breadth of the strike is impressive. It has been energetic and sustained now for almost three months and shows no signs of slowing down. The protests are not only shaking the Liberal government of Jean Charest, it is becoming internationally recognized a force to be reckoned with. For his part, Charest has conceded that tuition hikes will proceed at a slower pace than was planned. He aims to appear to kick the can down the road and let the less formidable ten year old deal with it. Charest is offering to spread tuition hikes over seven years instead of five, adding a paltry $35 million in bursaries, linking student loan payback to post graduation income, and several other fuzzy concessions that amount to lies. The offer is right called by student organizers what it is; an insult.
In spite of attempts by establishment media to divide students and turn public opinion against them, the students of Quebec are showing remarkable integrity, solidarity, and collective intelligence. The ruling Liberals had aimed to separate the largest of student groups, the CLASSE, by forcing them to humility after her constituency office was invaded. She demanded they denounce the incident. Charest is refusing to negotiate with CLASSE. Student federations involved responded by supporting CLASSE. They point out that such a denunciation would require an agreement by their congress.
This type of divide and conquer strategy is used by the state to divide strong social movements and to gain control of them. The issue is not violence on the part of the students. It is about government gaining control. In all protest and political movements, the state will utilize several strategies to weaken movement and control the outcome. They will be infiltrated by agent provocateurs, they will be criticized as extremist and unreasonable by the media, they will be arrested and attacked by police and/or military. The state will do its utmost to break solidarity. The student strikes in Quebec are certainly the targets of such campaigns and the insult offered up by Charest is a tactical move to divide the students.
For its part, CLASSE appear to be a highly sophisticated organization. Their aim is beyond freezing tuition rates. Their aim is la gratuite scolaire, free and universal access to post secondary education. They are well organized and appear to be on top of state strategies and tactics that aim to crush them.
These are days of increasingly aggressive attacks on unions and the working class in general. Wages are being slashed and infrastructure is crumbling. Profits are at an all time high on the backs of average citizens. Unions and the Occupy movement need to join in solidarity with the protesters.
Canada and Quebec
In spite of established Canadian media and politicians proclivities, Canadians and especially the people of Quebec are not subservient, docile, quisling whores. Canadians see inequality as 'the' major social issue. A recent poll suggests that Canadians are willing to pay more in taxes to lessen the advantages the wealthy enjoy over the working class. 64% of Canadians are willing to pay more taxes to save social programs. Even Conservative voters tend to agree. 58% of these agree that they would pay more taxes to save social programs.
Right wing organizations like the Fraser Institute, CTV News and other established corporate media have been working overtime for decades to indoctrinate Canadians to their way of thinking. Canadians have been hearing the corporate right scream hysterical about the evil of taxation, the pernicious nature of the 'welfare state', the glories of unbridled free enterprise and so on. In spite of all this, Canadians remain even more vigilant about maintaining socialized health care and are highly sensitive to fairness and the public good. The more the corporate right and their politicians establish unbridled neo liberal financial anarchy, the more left wing Canadians turn.
The protests will likely ensure that Quebec will remain the province in Canada and region of North America with the most accessible post secondary education. The citizens of Quebec will have the greatest potential for the Sputnik of the 21st century. Through access to universities, is they that will receive the greatest quantity and as a result, the greatest quality education.
They are already teaching us a valuable lesson.

Every year, locals put on spectacular Christmas lights displays all around Brisbane. Sometimes a whole street will be lit up in a giant display.
This display was a finalist in the competition.
The residents went all out with tree, hedges, houses decorated. A nativity set up inside a garage. and there there were the lawn ad driveway animatronic decorations.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

Okay, I know everyone is still looking for that final TAM report. I am working on it (amazing how, when you return from a vacation, life just…slams you back into a routine). But this, I felt, was too good to pass up.
If there's one thing I dearly, dearly love, it's getting the "Action Alert" newsletters from Donald Wildmon's American Family Association. I even love the name alone. "Action Alert"! One imagines a fundagelical prayer warrior, sitting at home minding his own business, when suddenly, a red light starts blinking (with accompanying staccato buzzing noise) on his computer! He leaps up, tearing off his shirt to reveal an AFA superhero costume underneath, and, grabbing his Bible whoosh! he's out the door as his wife and kids wave to him, calling out, "Come home safe, Daddy!"
In reality, the Action Alerts are not nearly so Action-Packed. It's mostly the usual round of homophobia and we're-so-persecuted stuff, along with calls to boycott this or that other business that isn't sufficiently genuflecting to their Christian superiority.
Most recently, the AFA wants to extend the shelf-life of the War on Christmas by turning it into a War on Easter. As has been reported many times, the War on Christmas was created by Christian activist groups for the purposes of fundraising. It's a cash cow, with groups like the AFA stirring up persecution fears in their flock in order to sell zillions of dollars in buttons, decals, and the like. The fact of Christian Right groups being dishonest and sleazy is not, I know, earth-shattering news. But it's sad that so many are still so easily suckered by it.
Not the least bit concerned that their motives are nakedly obvious to the rest of humanity, the AFA is sounding the "save Easter by sending us money" klaxon loud and clear. Their latest cash cow (cash calf?) is this button/magnet series to let the filthy unsaved know goddamn good and well that Easter is not about bunnies and chocolate. Nor is it, as them evil librul professors will tell you, a ritual originating in pagan cultures related to the vernal equinox in which they honored their goddess Cybele/Eostre/Astarte. Nope, it's all about their god-man coming back to life at the end of that Mel Gibson movie…and nothing else! And what better way to remind those unsaved heathen about that fact than by sending Donald Wildmon a lot of money for some of these:
There! That'll show 'em.
This is your invitation to sponsor you [sic] church's participation in Silent Witness Week, to be observed during Holy Week April 1-8. Imagine this: Thousands of Christians wearing a very attractive lapel button which reads: Easter. He Lives! …This extremely attractive button is a silent but effective witness to Jesus and the Resurrection story. Wear it while shopping, at work, at school, etc. Silently let others know that Easter is about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, not a bunny or eggs.
Now, as Bugs Bunny often would say, "You realize of course that this means WAH!" I'll put up with a lot from fundagelicals. But when they diss the Bunny and His Magic Eggs, they've gone too fucking far!
So in the spirit of the season especially the "making money!" part I've decided to respond with a button/magnet of my very own! Bask!
And you can order this lovely item right here!
Imagine thousands of atheists spreading the good news of chocolate and colored eggs to all of humanity! And all via the effective "silent witnessing" tool of a simple, elegant button or magnet! There has never been a better time to be a Silent Witness for the Bunny. Join Silent Witness Week, won't you?

Forgive us for what sounds like an extended mash note, but we're madly in love with Samantha Pleet's fetching Fall/Winter 2010 collection, which made its debut at New York Fashion Week's the Green Shows on Tuesday.
Pleet has a way with making simple silhouettes feel fresh and fun with quirky prints and unusual details (cut-outs, "pleeted" waists, front-facing pockets) on sustainable materials such as organic wool, Chinese mud silk, and recycled Ultrasuede. In fact, we already see ourselves lounging around the house in her ultra-comfy adult-sized one-piece jammies. Will you be lining up this fall with us?

In a day camp for often smart but distracted kids, 11-year-old Ben Paxton has learned to see something positive in his diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Sure, many kids like him get antsy, procrastinate or lose their tempers. But they also are often bright, creative and funny, says Ben, an avid video gamer, like many with ADHD, as well as a swimmer and all-A student at Novi Meadows School. "People think we're kind of stupid, but we're really quite smart," Ben explains. "We just have a hard time curbing our really big flaws." Part outdoor-adventure, part ADHD social skills 101, this Training Your Dragons Camp in West Bloomfield strives to build teamwork, leadership, goal-setting and coping skills in kids with ADHD -- a diagnosis that can be befuddling, stressful, isolating and depressing. The day camp tries to help kids understand that while their diagnosis may help define them in part, the way the color of your hair or a the shape of your nose can, they have choices in their response to situations that bring out their worst traits, says Kevin Roberts, an ADHD coach from West Bloomfield who designed the camps with Drew Yanke, a psychotherapist in Birmingham. Their next offering, Friendship Camp, for boys 7-12 Aug. 6-10 in Novi, gives kids tips on how to control behaviors that isolate. A Back to School Confidence Camp Aug. 13-17 in Rochester will teach kids coping skills for school. Another Dragons camp will be held Aug. 20-24 in Wixom. Dragons camp helps boys face the dragons, or issues, that kids with the disorder face: impulsivity, anger, oppositional behaviors and poor organizational skills. These campers are kids who forget their homework, insist on having the last word and who may pull all A's but bring home report cards marked with negative comments about not followings directions, says Roberts, an ADHDer, as he calls himself and those with the diagnosis. Roberts is the author of a new book, "Movers, Dreamers and Risk-Takers, Unlocking the Power of ADHD" (Hazelden, $14.95). It summarizes Roberts' own life growing up with ADHD in Redford as well as skills he's acquired through a master's degree program and 14 years of work as an ADHD coach for kids. Roberts, 43, came to understand his own ADHD late. He wasn't diagnosed with it until he was 26. Growing up in a household "bursting with clutter," Roberts was "a little frustrated" with a mother who had outgoing, eccentric traits that matched her son's. Many people like him never get diagnosed, a controversy that has created a debate about whether the condition is growing or just being diagnosed more. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 5.4 million children ages 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. Boys are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with the condition. Without better understanding about why he faltered in elementary and middle school, Roberts struggled until his mother found tutors and other opportunities through church and youth groups to help a boy who didn't fit into the usual round pegs. "In middle school and in high school, I began to feel marginalized," he says. "Other people experienced me as too intense and I missed social cues." He'd interrupt them or say things at the wrong time. I just came on too strong. You make it work as an adult, but as a teen it's a liability." Bright, with an exceptional ear for foreign dialects and language -- he speaks five proficiently -- Roberts excelled at Detroit Catholic Central High in Novi, which he attended on a scholarship. There, he found a few master teachers who used punishments and rewards for the right and wrong behaviors, an approach that worked for him. He got a bachelor's of arts degree in linguistics and political science at the University of Michigan.He taught for three years at West Bloomfield's Roeper School, and earned a master's degree in ADHD studies from Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Yanke, a former toy salesman, comes to the camp with a psychotherapy degree from Wayne State University. He and his wife, Kimber Bishop-Yanke, have an active metro Detroit business, Girls and Boys Empowered and Kids Empowered, that offers children help with social skills, bullying and other i ssues through crafts, peer discussions, fitness and recreational activities. Yanke, who is as animated and friendly as Roberts, says the camps try to help kids "understand what they are facing every day. A lot of these boys never have been challenged to ask, 'What distracts you? What do you need? Are you angry and impatient? Do you get in other people's space? Do you argue?' " The boys at the camps -- girls are welcome but to date none have enrolled -- are typically 7 to 14 years old. The cost is $350, and some financial help is available. Keeping the boys on task is a challenge. Mac Willcock, 11, of Rochester Hills, one of the dozen boys at the West Bloomfield camp, is "very smart" and "always going," says his mother, Lisa Willcock. She and her son, who has attended the camp twice, are working on arguing less over what needs to get done. "He is more willing to do what he has to do if he has a say in it," she says. "ADHD kids don't plan well in advance so if you give them time to do it, they delay," she says. "It's better to say it has to be done now." Katie Paxton, Ben's mother, says the camps have taught her son to understand why he sometimes acts the way he does. "The stories I hear on the ride home, I'll say, 'Wait, why did you do that?', 'Do you understand how somebody else might feel?' At least we're planting the seed. He understands it intellectually, but in the heat of the moment it's unclear what he'll do and how it will end up." Ben says he is learning to "try to do the right thing, instead of going with my gut instinct." He found the approach useful at school last year when kids bullied him. He knows now to weigh his choices rather than going with the first emotion that comes to mind. Ben has not mastered the same coping skills at home, however. He admits to arguing with his mom, playing video games too much, and having a very messy room. Why the messy room and clutter? "It's just too organized," he explains. "I'm just a bit of a slacker. Most kids with ADHD are slackers. I get my schoolwork done on time but if my mom tells me to clean my room, a week later she has to tell me again. I'd rather be doing something like swimming." He pauses. Then adds: "I'm working on it." Contact Patricia Anstett: 313-222-5021 or email@example.com (c)2012 the Detroit Free Press

Kyoto Talk 006: Buddhism and Knots
Notes: The Pan Chang knot (also known as the Endless knot or the Mystic knot) is one of the eight buddhist treasures. It represents the endless cycle of life, the infinite wisdom of Buddha, the duality (yin and yang) of existence, and is also a symbol of balance and harmony.
Additionally, from older traditions, knots are thought to be where gods dwell and as a result bring good luck. It is for this reason that monks would wear knots and knots are hung in temples.
shutara: "flower knots". knots are where the gods dwell, and knots hung in a room will drive away evil spirits and invite good fortune. Shutara were hung on a monk's shoulders over the formal surplice to ensure that the words of the sutras would not be dispersed.

Taylor Swift, Eric Church + More Set for 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival
The 2014 iHeart Music Festival is going to be studded with country artists, and not just any artists -- these performers are superstars. Taylor Swift, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band are among the festival's just-announced lineup, making this a must-see event for fans of all genres.
Swift also performed at the 2012 event, but the upcoming festival will be especially big for her, as she is prepping her upcoming album. Perhaps fans will get a sneak peek at a few of her new tracks? We can only hope.
Church was on the bill of the first-ever iHeartRadio Country Festival in March, and although this time around there will be lots of pop performers too, he's sure to nab a big crowd due to the rock nature of his shows. Zac Brown Band -- a favored live act -- is also set to deliver at the fest's fourth year in Las Vegas, and they'll heat up the strip with their infectious, well-loved hits.
In addition to country acts, the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Fest will host Coldplay, Usher, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Motley Crue, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Paramore, Iggy Azalea, Train, Lorde, Calvin Harris, Bastille and Steve Aoki.

Celebrating Qt 3.3
With the release of Qt 3.3 some days ago, IT Manager's Journal recently featured an interesting article on Trolltech. "How's this for a backhanded yet powerful endorsement of a company's products? Pixar Animation Studios, creator of such movie hits as "Finding Nemo," "Toy Story," and "Monsters Inc.", uses Trolltech's software throughout its operation but won't talk about it publicly because it thinks it would be giving away a competitive advantage." Commemorating the same occasion, OfB.biz also featured an interview with Trolltech CEO Haavard Nord. "With the potential for a substantial performance improvement, Qt 4 could be coming out about the time Nord estimates that GNU/Linux desktop adoption will start to become more mainstream. He remarked that there has been a shift in Qt purchasing [to Linux] over the past few years." Just a couple of articles you might find interesting.
Kudos to Trolltech
I've playied with qt3 some time ago. I did stopped when my null knowledge of C++ and my little knowledge of C showed me that I could not place the carriage before the bulls :)
But even like this, it showed to be a really good tool, with very decent documentation and lots of usefull functions. If I where going to write GUI apps today, I would use it without any doubt.
I hope borland upgrades kylix to a more recent version of QT soon too.

Re: Kudos to Trolltech
The language I prefer to use when developing apps with QT3 is Python, using the PyQt bindings. :)
I used to be a Borland Delphi fan back in my younger Windows days, and I really missed having a nice, easy-to-use language alongside a nice, easy-to-use GUI designer when I started using Linux full time.
Then I discovered QT, which I began using to develop C++ applications.
Then I discovered Python, and I've never touched C++ again, since the types of applications I write do not necessitate using it.
I've never had so much fun developing GUI apps!

Re: Kudos to Trolltech
yes! python absolutely rules for anything that does not need to be as fast as possible. the python/Qt combination is especially good. Qt does all the cpu-intensive stuff for you. I've programmed in almost any language, and as Eric Raymond puts it: 'python is the best programming language for transforming pure thought into action.' I cannot recommend it enough to anyone, from beginners to expert programmers.

Full ack. Developing in python for my was just 3x times faster as developing in C++. For example, just dropping the nasty Makefile.foo/autostuff was a delight and an increase in productivity.

I'm a PhD student. I use C++ and QT on a regular basis. A few weeks after telling my supervisor this, he writes an image processing toolkit and helpfully names it QT, short for CUTIE (I'll only say that the acronym involves the initials of the university). Absent minded :)
And he refuses to change it. The students are already very confused, and my thesis is going to be really, really amusing to write.

Re: QT plug
Yes Cocoa is Cross-platform. Cocoa adheres to the Openstep Spec which GNUstep adopted and is closing in on a very nice development environment.
What is lacking right now for gcc-non-apple is listed in the gcc3.4 changelogs.
Qt is no Openstep but it's getting there. Cocoa has advanced Openstep dramatically and ObjC has been updated quite a bit.
Download the ObjC latest PDF from Apple and learn it. GNUstep will catch up.

Its out-dated. Its old-fashioned. Even apple is turning to Qt these days. Ok, maybe you have interests of historical nature (some programmers still play with GEM - why not?) but KDE was always a future-oriented game. :-)

Re: QT plug
Apple turning to Qt? I believe they used a bit of Qt in Safari, but that's mostly because they were using khtml. The front end is straight Obj-C/Cocoa, as is the API.

Re: QT plug
I agree.
I think KDE, in all respect, is a very good desktop environment, but GNUstep feels much more than just a desktop environment.
Sometimes I feel the best thing to do would be to create a complete free software based operating system instead of free separatable modules (like the Linux kernel, the X Window system, KDE, Debian package management system and more). They are great individual projects/modules, but I feel they don't interact too well.
Maybe the best solution would be to implement some way of a free clone of Mac OS X, but maybe make it even better.

Crossplattform tutorial?
Is there any tutorial for doing cross-compiling e.g. to Win32 from a linux box?
By Ruediger Knoerig at Thu, 2004/02/19 - 6:00am
Re: Crossplattform tutorial?
Though not ideal, you can use WINE.
We use WINE and Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (nmake) on a linux box to do the automated nightly Psi/Windows CVS builds.

Re: Crossplattform tutorial?
Did you use the "normal" linux installation of Qt and g++? It would be nice if someone could provide a demo package since this would be a good point to start with.

C-10 Interior Makeover How-To
What makes a good old truck a good old truck? Its natural good looks? How much stuff you've been able to haul in it over the years? Maybe you've won a mantle full of trophies with it? Or is it because you keep flogging on it and it just keeps going-a good workhorse, as it were? Many of us have, have had, or look forward to having another truck like this, but even workhorses have their limits!
My '72 C-10 gets the farthest thing from preferential treatment. It looks good from afar, but is far from good looking cosmeticly, even though I've been trying to change that as of late. One of the most used parts of any truck is the seat, namely the driver side. My '94 Chevy 1500 has over 250,000 miles on it and is in decent shape considering, but I've had to fix the seat back more times than I can count. I get no relief when I drive the '72 either; it has a nice big crater where the seat foam once was right where I park my rear end. I'll say this was not caused by me, but I've dealt with it for far, far too long.
The C-10 was reupholstered many years ago in a saddle or brown color and the seat and carpet were especially heinous at this point in time. So I figured I'd do a little stock-style interior redo by myself since it's all basic stuff, right? I opened up my Classic Industries catalog and started jotting down what I needed-seat foam, seat upholstery, carpet, a dash pad, door panels, armrests, and sunvisors. My ulterior motive for doing this was to also switch the interior color to black from the previous brown and white since I want to paint the truck Hugger Orange at some point. But for now, this interior makeover will be much cheaper and easier than bodywork and paint and yield much needed great results.
We know not everyone will want to undertake something like this themselves, but we also know there are more than a few who would, and maybe this will light a fire for them. I did everything myself, but I did take the seat to Auto Upholstery of Orange in Orange, California, just for tips and guidance to pass on while I did the work, since I'd never recovered a seat before. It wound up honestly being a two-person job in many areas and I was glad to have the watchful eye of the shop owner, Rudy, and an extra set of hands at many times. So call your friend who has a nagging attention to detail when it's your turn.
Classic Industries also has a good selection of interior dyes/paints if some of your pieces are in good enough shape to save, but you'd like to change colors. So make a list and call Classic Industries and save yourself some money by redoing the interior of your truck yourself. Of course if you get in a jam or over your head, take it to someone like Rudy and sit back and relax!

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, not too far from the Design District. I now live about an hour north, but I make trips down frequently and try to visit the area whenever I get a chance. From fine arts to fashion, to furniture showrooms and lines of shops selling all types of home décor—the area features a little of everything to appeal to the artistic side in everyone. The Design District of Miami is a place that leaves you feeling truly inspired to be imaginative, to experiment, and to create.

My favorite part of the story is when Flik combines the machines. I like it because it took Flik a long time to figure out how to put the machines together. I like Flik the most because he helped other ants. This story relates to my life because I like helping other people too. This book has pictures that really help to explain the story.
I think that others should read the story because it teaches you about helping your friends.

Backwoods brouhaha: Undoing the Roadless Rule
From the Mojave Desert to the Shenandoah Valley, the United States is a country defined by its open spaces–three million-plus square miles of plains, mountains, wetlands, and forests. That's a lot of territory, and ever since the Voyage of Discovery, the country's leaders have been struggling to find a way to manage it.
It's an especially sticky subject when it comes to the forests: conservationists want to preserve them, businesses want to harvest them, and politicians often just want to stay out of the way.
Five years ago, President Bill Clinton took a step in the conservation direction when he signed the Roadless Areas Conservation Rule. The rule, which went into effect in 2001, was designed to protect the country's rapidly disappearing woodlands by limiting the development of new backcountry roads in national forests. It was a controversial move at the time, particularly because Clinton signed it into law mere days before he left office. But it was heralded by conservationists for its wide-ranging impact and strict protections.
Fast forward to this July when the Bush administration, in an equally controversial move, announced plans to change the existing rule. According to Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman (the National Forests are organized under the USDA because, like commercial farms, they are managed and maintained for harvest) it would be replaced with an "opt-out" arrangement that would require state governors to petition the Federal Government if they wanted to continue protecting their state's current roadless areas.
In effect, the change gives states more control over how their public forests are managed and protected. Not surprisingly, the debate has returned to a fever pitch.
Nationwide, roadless areas account for nearly 60 million acres of government-owned forest. Here in Virginia, it's even more dramatic: 420,000 acres in the Jefferson and George Washington National Forests, making the Commonwealth home to more protected land than any state east of the Mississippi River.
R. Carroll Conley with Crozet-based lumber company J. Bruce Barnes Inc., considers the Bush proposal good news for the logging industry and the state. He maintains that national forests were never intended to be preserved.
"Parks are set aside for recreation, but the national forests were set aside by our forefathers to harvest," he says. "They should be harvested like any other crop."
Conley's primary concern is that leaving these forests unmanaged and free to grow creates fire hazards. By limiting construction of new access roads, fire fighters have no way to reach many areas in case of an emergency, he claims.
"If you don't go in and manage the old growth, these forests will burn up," he says. "There's no reason we won't have the national forests for the next 200-plus years if people take care of them. But the truth is we've seen more fires in the last few years than we had in the last 200, and that should tell people something. If we don't harvest and protect them, they will burn to the ground."
In the western parts of Virginia, protecting forests means protecting a livelihood.
"I'm not a logger," Conley says, "but the families out here consider themselves environmentalists. They care about the forests, and don't want to see them harmed any more than anyone else. They want to preserve these lands for their kids."
Paul Howe, executive vice-president of the Virginia Forestry Association, agrees, supporting Conley's point that "the national forests are designed to be multiple-use in nature.
"There are already thousands of acres in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests set aside as wilderness areas," he says, emphasizing that the Roadless Rule itself has nothing to do with the timber harvest. "The harvest levels are set in the forest plan, and each goes through a long and involved planning process every 15 years."
Besides, Howe says, of the 1.8 million acres in Virginia's National Forests, only 2,000 acres are harvested per year on average. "The whole fear-mongering campaign is just laughable," he claims.
Not everyone in Virginia supports the Bush proposal. Last fall, Governor Mark Warner and a coalition of prominent citizens sent a letter to Secretary Veneman expressing their dismay with the plan and encouraging leaders to leave the Clinton rule untouched.
"This proposal is just taking part of Virginia and the national forests in the entirely wrong direction," says Cat McCue with the Southern Environmental Law Center, a regional environmental watchdog and sponsor of the Warner letter. "It turns the whole idea of national forests, public lands owned by the American people, on its head by proposing to put management in the hands of the state governors."
She also worries that, by shifting front-line control to the states, the proposal will put too much of a burden on already overtaxed state governments.
"If this proposal were to pass, it would put a huge burden on the Warner administration, adding all sorts of hoops to jump through," she says. "And ultimately, the secretary of agriculture would have the final say on what's in the state's rule, so the federal government would still hold all the cards. They say that this is about state's rights, but that's not true. It will end up putting more of a burden on the states."
For Steve Kritchbaum, conservation director with Staunton-based advocacy group Wild Virginia, the whole proposal is an effort to take that public comment out of the process.
"The original Roadless Rule was passed with enormous public support," he says. "But this latest proposal, as far as I can see, hasn't had any public comment, and that's bad news. It's out of sync with what the American people have said they want."
Conley, for one, disagrees.
"The control over these forests has been taken away from the local communities by this roadless law," he says. "There's a lot of concern that opening up the land will lead to environmental damage, but most state forest services control the logging so well these days that you don't see what I would call the 'rape of the land' any more. It's a bad law, which Bush is working to change into a good law."
Here in Virginia, things are already changing. Senator John Warner and Representative Rick Boucher recently introduced a bill that would create four new wilderness areas in the Jefferson National Forest and protect 40,000 acres. As of press time, the bill was waiting in committee until the end of Congress' summer recess.
The administration proposal is now subject to a 60-day public comment period.
"Anyone who values the national forests for solitude, recreation, clean water, and open space needs to write in to the U.S. Forest Service and voice their support for the conservation rule of 2001," McCue says. "It's really important that people educate themselves and get involved while they still can."
For specific details about the proposal, visit the U.S. Forest Service's Roadless Area Conservation website at roadless.fs.fed.us.
Information about how to comment on the proposed change is available from the Southern Environmental Law Center website, selcga.org.
