8 Foreword by the Minister of Education, Youth and Employment I would like to commend the Director General of Education Dr Cecilia Borg and the National Curriculum Council for the important initiative they have taken to ensure our schools have clear and strong guidelines in shaping policies to promote and improve the healthy eating habits of our children and youths. The Working Group appointed by the DGE and chaired by the Assistant Director of Education, Margaret M Ellul is to be congratulated for the sterling work they have done and for the quality of the guidelines which the Division of Education is now publishing. My appreciation also goes to the Education Health Services, the Health and Safety Unit and the Home Economics Seminar Centre of the Division of Education and to the Health Promotion Department of the Division of Health. I belong to the post-world War baby boom generation born in a society with vivid recollections of the horrors and hardship that the war brought with it. At table, stories by our parents of the pains of hunger they had to suffer during and immediately after the war abounded. In those days of want, schools played a crucial part in ensuring that the post-war baby boom generation s diet was supplemented with a cocktail of vitamins and health and dental screening. This has had an immensely beneficial effect on the health status of my generation and of those that followed. Today s society cannot be more different. The health status of the Maltese people improved by leaps and bounds but is today besieged by a consumerist and instant gratification approach to the way we shape our eating habits and life styles. A visit to many of the wards of our hospitals will immediately strike us with the many health conditions treated there that could easily have been prevented had better eating habits and healthy life styles been consistently followed. Once again, our schools are being called to intervene proactively, in synergy with the Health Promotion Department and other agencies, to embark on a strong and effective strategy to educate our children and young people in the beauty of healthy eating and drinking habits and healthy life styles. The Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan is yet another important tool in the hands of College Principals and Heads of School to help correct and redirect the creeping bad eating habits which are having an increasingly negative effect on our health. Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are. This old adage is still very valid today. We have to commit ourselves to a culture where healthy eating habits and other healthy life styles and environment will make of our children and young Maltese and Gozitans the finest and most healthy citizens in this region. LOUIS GALEA Minister of Education, Youth and Employment 3
9 Message by the Director General Eating is important and essential, however excess or lack of eating is dangerous. How much, what and when to eat are not natural instincts but skills that need to be taught and change according to the age, and body mass of the individual as well as to other external factors including weather and physical exertion. The, aware of its role to instruct and its ability to influence change, has embarked on these publications to ensure that schools have adequate guidelines in this regard. The TASNE study commissioned by the National Curriculum Council had recommended appropriate school nutrition environments and it was for this reason that, in August 2006, I set up this working group made up of different stakeholders within the under the chairmanship of Ms. Margaret Ellul, Assistant Director to lay down guidelines so that schools would be in a position to formulate their own policy regarding Healthy Eating. The terms of reference clearly indicated that the TASNE report was to serve as the basis of the eventual guidelines. The subject matter was to be incorporated in the existing syllabus and to form an integral part of what was being taught in class. Healthy eating is a way of life and its importance cannot be isolated from every day reality. At the same time, school Tuck Shops have to serve as the practical expression of this philosophy. In this way, schools would be encouraging the desired eating patterns not only in the schools themselves but, hopefully, influencing the National pattern, present and future. I would like to thank all the members of the Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan (HELP) Working Group who have worked assiduously in formulating this policy. It is now up to the schools to take the matter in hand. Schools are the ones who influence most as they are nearest to the child. They have also contributed directly to this Study through their experience, their contributions and their encouragement. I have no doubt that once the Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan is in their hands they will own it thus ensuring that healthy eating for a healthy lifestyle not only continues to occupy high priority on the School Development Plan but will work hand in hand with parents and other stake holders to ensure a Healthy Nation. Dr Cecilia Borg Director General 4
10 Executive Summary Interventions targeted at healthy eating need to occur early in childhood and adolescence in order to prevent or reverse the adverse effects of overweight and poor eating habits (Onge, Keller, Heynsfield 2003). Schools can function as an important opportunity for prevention (Carter 2002) as they provide the most effective way of reaching large numbers of people including youths, school staff, families and community members (WHO 1998). The improvement of children s lifestyle relies on action carried out in school settings. This document is designed primarily for schools and aims at encouraging schools to: give high priority to healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle on their school agenda; design, implement and monitor school healthy eating lifestyle plans. This Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan (HELP) outlines the goals and highlights the school environment, school curriculum and school nutrition as the three key objectives for this initiative. Each objective has been developed to include Strategies, which need to be implemented, so that schools are turned into healthy schools. They will need to consider to what extent their current practice reflects these objectives, to identify opportunities for improvement and to get started. The section entitled Our Contribution focuses on key areas of improvement. It highlights the Food & Nutrient Based Standards, which have been established to cover food and drink provision across the school day, and outlines clear time frames for action. 5
11 Monitoring and enforcing of these set nutrition standards and conditions is another key area for improvement. The roles of the Healthy School Audit Board have been clearly identified to ensure regulation and enforcement. The booklet Our Resources provides material and ideas to support schools in providing and developing a Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan. Schools might have different starting points and therefore, they are to focus on their priorities and then select the most appropriate material. This booklet comprises: Schools have already started taking initiatives to create an environment which supports a healthier lifestyle. There is growing support for measures that encourage children and adults to make healthier life choices. The debate about this initiative involves working in partnership across society towards the development of a whole approach to a healthy lifestyle. This is a challenge. Practical and valid targets have been set. Working together across society, the aims at making significant progress in fulfilling the goals of turning our schools into healthier schools. A step-by-step guide on how to develop a Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan. This process aims at facilitating staff discussion and at providing a clear audit of the role and profile of food and drink in schools. A Food and Beverage audit pack which is aimed at helping schools review current practice. The water and milk guidance will support schools in improving current provision and promote consumption of milk and water.

12 Introduction The well being of each and every child is of utmost importance and is an essential aspect of effective education for all. We believe that a healthy young generation contributes to a more productive population, a better quality of life in adulthood and lower health care and social costs. In Malta, over the last century, there have been great improvements in health and life expectancy 1. We all however, share a common concern about nutritional related disorders, childhood obesity and the fact that the percentage of Maltese individuals who are considered as overweight is among the highest in the world. The incidence of diabetes in children and the high incidence of cardiovascular disease and diet-related cancers are other challenges to health in the Maltese scenario. We recognize that the Maltese society is changing. The economic and social climate together with the influence of the media have led to new patterns of eating, playing and working which might adversely affect healthy lifestyles for children. It is an accepted fact that people s behavioural patterns are often set early in life and influence their health throughout their lives. Infancy, childhood and adolescence are critical stages in the development of people s health in later years. We are convinced that good eating habits and regular physical activities contribute to lower rates of childhood obesity and a lower incidence of diet-related chronic diseases. If we want our young generation to optimize its physical, social, emotional and mental health, we need to empower our generation with the skills it needs to lead a healthy lifestyle. We share the responsibility of promoting the health and well being of our young generation with several stakeholders including parents, the community at large and other entities. It is in partnership that we are working towards the development of a whole approach to health. This is not an easy task: indeed it is a challenge to us all. We believe, however, that there is a growing support for measures that will encourage children and adults to make healthier life choices. We are encouraged by initiatives which schools are taking to create an environment which supports a healthy lifestyle. This is the start and not the end of the journey. We have set practical and valid targets and we are confident that by working together across society, we would fulfill our goals of turning our schools into healthy schools and of contributing towards a holistic education to future generations.

14 Goals and Objectives Schools have constantly worked to improve the levels of education and have over the years given importance to investing in health aspects. The ultimate aim has been to assist in the process of raising students achievement, improving standards and in giving our young generation the confidence to learn. Today, more than ever, we believe that schools can provide students with the skills they need to be confident about leading a healthy lifestyle. The core themes which schools need to address are healthy eating, physical activity, emotional health and well being, and personal, social and health education. For the purpose of this document, we will limit ourselves to healthy eating as the main theme for discussion. In line with the recommendations of Malta s National Health Policy and the WHO Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Policy, we need to ensure that people across our society have adopted healthier patterns of living. In expressing the ethos and philosophy of its schools, the Education Division is reconsidering the role of all aspects of food in schools. In this sense, the Education Division is outlining the following as its main goals for its Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan: to ensure that Maltese schools deliver a holistic education; to make provision for the setting up of the necessary frameworks, resources and support needed by Maltese schools to help students adopt healthier patterns of living. Schools can influence attitudes to food, sports and physical activity through the Curriculum and the wider environment. They can encourage students to make informed choices by offering healthy drinks and food options that reflect what is taught in the classroom. Our message must be consistent, co ordinated and related, to the way people actually live. 9
15 The is proposing a multifaceted approach which touches different aspects of school life, through the following three objectives: 1. To provide a supportive school environment which encourages a healthy lifestyle and promotes healthy choices early in life; 2. To make provision for a flexible curriculum which highlights health, diet, nutrition, food, safety and hygiene, food preparation and cooking and which promotes physical exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle; 3. To ensure that clear and consistent messages about food, drink and healthy eating are being delivered across the school day so as to reinforce the healthy lifestyle message. Schools will need to consider to what extent their current practice reflects these objectives. As part of this document, we are providing support material (Our Resources) to enable schools to identify opportunities which help them meet these objectives and therefore, improve the health and well being of all. 10
16 Our Contribution In outlining this Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan, the is upholding the principle that students dietary habits should be safeguarded and is committed to support schools in their efforts to ensure healthy eating school environments. The key area for improvement in schools is food provision across the school day. It is time to move from debating the issue and determining the solutions, to investing in ways of ensuring the provision of healthy food in schools. The General Guidelines for Healthy Food Consumption issued in April 2006 by the Department of Curriculum Management 2, have been introduced in order to reduce their intake of foods high in fat, salt and sugar and to increase the daily intake of students whole grain food, fruit and vegetables. The has now established Food and Beverage Standards to cover food and drink across the school day 3. These Food and Beverage Standards have been based on those recommended by the Task Force for Appropriate School Nutrition Environments (TASNE) and which have been revised by the staff at the Home Economics Seminar Centre. They aim at enhancing the provision of food with high nutritional value and prohibit food with minimal nutritional value. The has also worked on Nutrient Based Standards 4 which specify the nutrient levels that schools should strive towards so that school food provision is of high nutritional value. 2 DCM Circular No.38/ Appendix 1 Document 1 Food & Beverage Standards List of Permissible Foods Document 2 Food & Beverage Standards List of Permissible Drinks Document 3 Food & Beverage Standards List of Prohibited Foods Document 4 Food & Beverage Standards List of Prohibited Drinks 4 Appendix 2 Document 5 Nutrient Based Guidelines for Food & Drink Providers 11
17 As advised by TASNE, the is adopting nutrient standards for key nutrients which have critical significance for health outcomes. These standards have been revised and indicate the maximum amount of fats, saturated fats, total sugars and salt sodium levels per 100gr/ml that a product may contain, for it to be considered healthy. These new standards will apply to all food and drink provision, including food and drink sold in tuck shops. These standards also apply to the celebration of special events. The time frames for implementation are as follows: Launch of food and beverage standards in schools With immediate effect Implementation of food and beverage standards for tuck shops September 2007 Compliance date for all primary and secondary schools Jan 2008 Another key area for improvement is the monitoring and enforcing of these set nutrition standards and conditions. The Education Division will establish within the Directorate for Quality and Standards in Education, a Healthy School Nutrition Audit Board. This Board will be composed as follows: A Chairperson in the grade of Principal Education Officer A Nutritionist A Subject Co Ordinator/Assistant Head with experience in Health and Safety A Subject Co Ordinator/Assistant Head with experience in Home Economics This Audit Group will need to be supplemented from time to time with the participation of the following: Head of the Education Health Services A Health Inspector An officer responsible for Finance from the Department of Corporate Services An officer from the Consumer Protection Department The President of the Association of School Councils Any other expert from other fields who may be deemed necessary. 12
18 The duties of the Healthy School Nutrition Audit Board will be as follows: Keep nutrition standards updated and formulate additional ones; Regulate all health, safety and nutritionrelated activities and events in schools. For this purpose, Heads of School are requested to organise these activities through this Healthy School Nutrition Audit Board; Ensure compliance with the set national food and beverage standards and regulations by carrying out regular periodic audits; Liaise with the Health Inspectorate Unit to ensure that food and drink provision on school premises is compliant with Maltese food safety legislation; Take any necessary enforcement action to ensure that school food and drink provision is in accordance with the standards set by the and food safety legislation; Ensure that guidelines and action plans concerning students having special dietrelated conditions, such as diabetes and food allergies, are in place; Liaise and work in co ordination with the Education Health Services, the Home Economics Seminar Centre, the Health and Safety Unit, the Malta Standards Authority and other relevant public and private entities, so as to maintain a healthy nutrition environment in schools; Ensure that the tuckshop contracts are in compliance with standards; Issue certificates of approval to local food manufacturers/importers/distributors whose products fall within the parameters established in the food and nutrient standards; Carry out any other duty as directed by the Director General for the Directorate of Quality and Standards in Education, so as to enable schools to provide healthy nutrition and environment. 13
19 The has assigned the roles of support and guidance of this Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan to the: Education Health Service [EHS] Health and Safety Unit [HandS] Home Economics Seminar Centre [HESC] 5 To improve students nutritional behavioural patterns and knowledge, these centres have to be involved in health promotion through collaboration with different sectors and stakeholders. Shared collaboration between our Ministry, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry for Rural Affairs and Environment, the Ministry for Family and Social Solidarity and the Ministry for Competitiveness, is central for strategic planning. Besides this, we also believe in partnerships that include students, parents, staff, the Faculty of Education, members of the Local Councils and non governmental organizations e.g. Federation of Industry and the Chamber of Commerce. This collaboration is important to create a social and physical environment conducive to healthy eating and to reflect the diverse range of needs. 5 Appendix 3 Document 6 Education Health Services Document 7 Home Economics Seminar Centre Document 8 Health and Safety Unit 14
20 Strategies The commits itself to provide the following additional measures to facilitate progress towards healthier living: Provide guidelines for schools on how to draft their own school healthy eating lifestyle plan 6 ; Start work on the formulation of Nutrition Related Quality Indicators for inclusion with key areas of the School Development Plan; Embark on establishing a regulatory legal framework for School Nutrition to support a healthy lifestyle. These regulations must also apply to shops/hawkers who operate in the vicinity of the school premises; Work on a new plan to give every student an entitlement to learn about nutrition and cooking from 2008; Inspect every school tuck shop at least once a year; Set up a working committee to study physical activity; Ensure that physical activity will not be limited to PE lessons but will be integral to the school experience; Ensure that the Senior Management Team of schools is also involved at the planning stage of new schools being built, so as to facilitate the provision of a healthy eating environment which is conducive to healthy eating; Ensure that schools allot money for the daily provision of 200ml of milk for every student; Provide additional resources in relation to portion-servings sizes for food in schools 7 ; Propose the regulation of advertising so that the messages conveyed in the media will be consistent with nutrition messages in schools; Ensure that products sold are certified by the Healthy Eating Nutrition Audit Board; Forward to all school providers the Food Preparation Guidelines 8 and ensure adherence; Work with other stakeholders to train and support parents, staff and tuckshop operators involved in catering in schools, e.g. ITS to train tuckshop operators; Provide additional support and guidance to Heads of School when drawing up and monitoring contracts of school tuck shops; Collaborate with the Health Division in undertaking surveys of students dietrelated behaviour, so as to identify trends and determine which action needs to be taken at school and at a national level; Make provision for the Education Health Unit in collaboration with the School Health Services to measure students height and weight on an annual basis and keep a database. 6 Our Resources Instructions on how to develop a Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan 7 Appendix 4 Document 9 Portion Sizes and Servings 8 Appendix 5 Document 10 Food Preparation Guidelines 15
21 Objective 1 TO PROVIDE A SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WHICH ENVISAGES A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND PROMOTES HEALTHY CHOICES EARLY IN LIFE Children spend on average a third of their waking lives in school. The school environment, attitudes of students and staff, as well as what students learn in the classroom have a major influence on the development of their knowledge and understanding of health. The school ethos and environment must, therefore, set the tone for the behaviour and attitudes which are expected of both staff and students in relation to healthy eating. We want schools to take a holistic view of health and focus not only on the acquisition of knowledge and understanding but also on the development of complementary attitudes and skills. Schools, however, also need to provide the culture and environment needed to support the taught curriculum. Schools need to develop different strategies if they want to foster a positive attitude to diet, nutrition and physical exercise. The informal curriculum and the school s own nutrition practices must complement and reinforce classroom teaching on nutrition and exercise. A whole school approach to a healthy lifestyle needs to be developed, followed and maintained. Democratic decision-making is integral to effective whole school approaches to improving health. A whole school approach engages students, teachers, parents, school administrators and other partners in a cooperative effort to encourage healthy lifestyle habits among the school community. This approach develops an ethos and environment that supports learning, adopts a democratic approach to nutrition-related decision making and, in so doing, promotes the well being of all. The whole school community has to be invited to take part in policy development and in its implementation. In partnership, we need to engage in a range of strategies to achieve standards. Using a holistic approach, we need to create a supportive setting which influences the perception and actions of all those involved within the school. 9 This concept emphasises the needs of the individual at the centre of the entire organization. 9 European Network of Health Promoting Schools 2006 WHO Initiative 16
22 For us all to succeed in this, we need to consider the following key aspects of performance which are important for the support of the whole school approach: shared aims; informed and committed leadership; a supportive ethos; a systematic approach to self evaluation; a good development planning process; careful curriculum planning; a focus on learning and teaching; giving students a voice; provision of support services; focused staff development; partnership with parents and community; environment. Schools need to employ these strategies if they want to make a significant contribution to improve the quality of life of their students, staff and the wider community. A positive school ethos which promotes a healthy lifestyle will not only influence health but attainment, achievements and expectations. 17
23 Strategies To achieve this objective, schools are to: look at health issues as contributing factors to school improvement and therefore, should be part of an ongoing discussion on policy and practice of the school at staff meetings; ensure that a healthy eating lifestyle has been listed as a priority in the School Development Plan; identify a member of the Senior Management Team to oversee all aspects of food in school and to spearhead the process of developing a school healthy eating plan; identify healthy eating school activities in their Development Plan which can be delivered through other priorities; ensure that these healthy school activities are set out in the school parent handbook/ newsletter; establish mechanisms for involving parents, the whole school community and other stakeholders in this policy development; give pupils a voice by establishing mechanisms for involving pupils in policy development of healthy eating, e.g. through school councils, healthy school task group, etc.; work together with the Education Health Services, the Health and Safety Unit, the Home Economics Seminar Centre and other stakeholders, in the provision of support services for students and parents; encourage students to take some responsibility of aspects of a school healthy life; provide a welcoming and secure eating environment that encourages positive interaction of students; give staff opportunity to share information, learning and experience with other schools and to visit them to gain support and knowledge of good practice; identify and organise healthy eating activities/events; carry out an internal audit of the nutrition environment; ensure that professional staff development plans include training in nutrition and other related issues; develop and implement home-school agreements in consultation with parents; consult staff on their training needs through a regular consultation process; define the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders; carry out students needs assessment because this will influence teaching, learning and curriculum planning; invite the wider community partners to take part in aspects of school life, e.g. open days, prize days, school bazaars. 18

"Good kids are like sunsets. We take them for granted. Every evening they disappear. Most parents never imagine how hard they try to please us, and how miserable they feel when they think they have failed."
"Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out."
"The art of never making a mistake is crucial to motherhood. To be effective and to gain the respect she needs to function, a other must have her children believe she has never engaged in sex, never made a bad decision, never caused her own mother a moment's anxiety, and was never a child."

0 - 3 Final
Collmenter, D-Backs blank BrewersJul 19, 2011 - 5:55 AM
Collmenter's (5-5) past two starts have come against Milwaukee as he went six scoreless innings on July 6 and gave up just three hits and a walk with three strikeouts, but did not factor into the decision.
"He threw an exceptional game," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "He was pounding the zone. He had 105 pitches, 74 strikes."
Monday, though, he was even better as he gave up just three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts to snap a four-game losing streak. His last win had come on June 3 against Washington.
Gerardo Parra's double-play groundout in the third plated Henry Blanco for the only run needed by Arizona, which has won three straight.
Randy Wolf (6-7) pitched a strong game as he gave up just three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits with a walk and three strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings, but he lost for the third time in his past four starts.
"I thought he threw the ball well tonight, we just couldn't help him out," said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke about Wolf. "He did a nice job out there again for us."
Singles from Nyjer Morgan, Prince Fielder and Yuniesky Betancourt accounted for the hits for the Brewers, who entered off a four-game series split in Colorado.
Milwaukee is tied with St. Louis at a half-game back of surprising Pittsburgh for first place in the NL Central.
Morgan singled with one out in the first and moved to second on a Mark Kotsay groundout. Fielder, whose three-run home run in the All-Star in this stadium last Tuesday led the NL to victory and earned him the MVP, then hit a bouncer that Willie Bloomquist made a diving stop on and was able to throw out Morgan at home from his knees.
Arizona scored in the third to take the lead. Blanco led off with a single and Collmenter reached base and Blanco was safe thanks to a bad throw to second by Wolf on a sacrifice bunt attempt. Bloomquist then singled to load the bases and Parra hit into a 4-6-3 double play that saw Blanco cross the plate.
The seventh inning saw the Diamondbacks pad their lead as Chris Young doubled with one-out and Roberts drilled a 1-0 pitch over the wall in left for his second home run in as many days.
After Betancourt led off the sixth with a bunt single, that was it for baserunners for Milwaukee as Collmenter set down the next nine batters in order and David Hernandez went 1-2-3 in the ninth for his ninth save of the season.
Game Notes
Arizona took two of three from Milwaukee in early July...Wolf fell to 10-5 in 20 career starts against the Diamondbacks in his career...Roberts has 13 home runs and 40 RBI on the season. Both are career-highs...Yovani Gallardo takes the mound for Milwaukee on Tuesday and will be opposed by Barry Enright.

This thread is full of AWESOME! Finally Captain America on the big screen, and THOR is coming out this summer also. It is a great time to be a Comic Book fanboy.
This is a discussion on America Will be Avenged in Only 5 More Months!!!! -- Photos within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Guys, we only have 5 more months to wait: The makers of this new Marvel movie have decided to arm Captain America with a Colt ...
Guys, we only have 5 more months to wait:
The makers of this new Marvel movie have decided to arm Captain America with a Colt 1911A1 !! Apparently all sorts of evil Nazi scum are going to fall victim to his 1911A1 pistol!!
Is the Colt 1911A1 an appropriate weapon to arm a Super Hero with??
The movie stars Chris Evans, best know for playing the "Human Torch" in the two Fantastic 4 movies.
Here is a photo taken during a break in the filming of the movie, showing a stunt double on Captain America's motorcycle.
Note the 1911A1 on his right hip, and the scabbard holding a Thomspon sub-machine gun on the right side of the motorcycle.
Looks like there may be some gratuitous Tommy Gun action in this flick too!
I can remember watching Captain America on the Animated Marvel TV series back in the 60's when I was a kid.
Does anyone else remember the Captain America Theme Song from the TV show??
We have only had to wait 45 years for a movie to be made.
The 1960's vintage Captain America carried no weapons, other than his shield, which was only used as a non-lethal weapon. I guess that since it was a kid's cartoon show, they had to dummy down Captain America regarding the violence level.
You may recognize the actor that plays the evil Nazi Super Villain: the Red Skull, in the movie:

I would have hoped that they would use a vintage Harley or Indian rather than a new model made to look old. This kind of detail is what makes or breaks potentially great retro style movie.
Of course I am assuming that this movie is supposed to have taken place in WWII Nazi times and not some alternate reality present day setting.

From what I understand Cap was a soldier during WWII before he became Captain America so he would have been familiar with the Colt 1911. In today's society I believe Cap could use all the help he can get. Lord knows he has alot to clean up. I haven't seen the previews yet but just this thread has brought back alot of good memories. Go get 'em Cap!!!
He wasn't a Soldier first, he was too small and weak, but wanted to serve which is why he was offered the super soldier program, which turned him into Captain America. Really looking forward to this movie!
"Don't start none, won't be none!"
I see he is using boots with the two buckles. I had a pair of these I wore to school during WWII.

Marvel has basically milked every other superhero they can into a movie. I wouldn't be surprised if they were building into a massive Avengers movie... which could be cool.
I'm definitely looking forward to this one! It's looking like this may be one of the few heroes unaffected by political correctness. Here's hoping it's a good one!

I think that's the plan: Iron Man-Avenger, Hulk-Avenger, Captain America-Avenger, Thor-Avenger, hell Spider-Man was once an Avenger. There have most likely been Avengers from the Fantastic Four and the X-Men also. It will be epic especially if they can retain all of the star power they've got wrapped up in these films.

I was going to post something on it, but was fuming from the incompetence and thought better of it...
If anyone else watched it I'd love to hear other takes on the matter.

Watched it to check what was being talked about. Problem was within 30 seconds i knew it was skewed in favor of the antis and not non-biased.

Yep, I managed to watch all of 10 minutes till the narrator dismissed 80 million gun owners as a minority.

it was just more anti biased crap. the Philly cop was especially disgusting: "unfortunately, people still have the right to have guns..."
what a moron.
the only bright spot was the woman who was buying her first gun. she was a crackshot! i hope to does well, and enjoys her new gun.
""it was just more anti biased crap. the Philly cop was especially disgusting: "unfortunately, people still have the right to have guns..."

Unfortunately, idiot Philly cops still have the right to spout ignorance...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
The wife and I watched it the other day. We felt that it was almost completely biased towards the anti's (go figure). Felt bad for the Philly cop shot in the face. As stated above, about the only bright spot was the young mother looking to buy a gun to protect her family. Good for her.

Nonetheless, whether we gun owners are a minority or not is irrelevant. By definition, no crimes are committed by law-abiding gun owners. It is criminals who commit crimes. We law-abiding gun owners are exercising our God-given, natural, human right to self-defense and to have and carry the tools necessary to that defense.
That's it. Period.
Keeping in mind that 80 million gun owners does not include the roughly 16-20% of the population who are minors, 80 million is pretty darn close to half of those legally allowed to own.
Our population is about 310 million; of which about 20 million are illegal aliens or other aliens prohibited from gun ownership. Another fifteen million are felons or folks who have served time in jail. There are probably only about 160 million individual households--I'm taking a rough guess. So if that 80 million gun owners represents in fact 80 million households, it is pretty dang close to being an actual majority of those lawfully permitted to own; and may in fact be a majority of those lawfully permitted to own.
The numbers need careful examination against both definitions and census data, and could well show that a majority of households have at least one gun.
Given that so many live in gun unfriendly places like Chicago, DC, NYC, LA, it becomes immediately clear that gun ownership outside of these areas is clearly an activity of the majority and not the minority.
I watched the show. I can't say I was dissapointed with it as I never thought they would be fair.
National Geographic TV Takes Aim At Your Guns
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
National Geographic Channel ran a show last night entitled, "Gun In America." According to the program, there are millions of misguided gun owners across the nation. Why? Because your guns are supposedly more likely to harm you than to help you in an emergency.
"As a society, we're totally out of control with weapons," said one Philadelphia cop who was interviewed during the show. "You need to limit access that people have to these type of firearms."
That was the basic thrust of the program. National Geographic recited the usual worn-out factoids that are peddled by the Brady Campaign. It only cited anti-gun cops. And for every person who was filmed stating he or she believed in a right to own firearms for self-defense, the program would cite "facts" to prove that such a hope was misplaced.
Gun owners should let the President and CEO of National Geographic know that the channel should stick to showing pictures of kangaroos and foliage -- images that we normally attribute to National Geographic's magazine -- and keep his personal, anti-gun views to his private conversations around the Christmas dinner table.
The National Geographic Channel presents itself as an educational, unbiased alternative. But "Guns in America" was hardly unbiased, as can be seen by the following agenda items that were pushed during the program:
1. "Guns in America" would have you believe that the guns in your home are 22 times more likely to kill a family member than to protect you. This statistic can (surprise, surprise!) be found on the Brady Campaign website, but its source has been highly discredited. The factoid originates with Arthur Kellerman, who has generated multiple studies claiming that guns are a net liability.1 But Kellerman has been found guilty of fudging his data, and even the National Academy of Sciences has stated that his "conclusions do not seem to follow" from his data.2
The truth of the matter is actually quite encouraging for gun owners. Anti-gun researchers for the Clinton Justice Department found that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense, which means that each year, firearms are used more than 50 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.3
Isn't that strange? You would think anti-gunners wouldn't mind citing a study that was commissioned by the Clinton Justice Department! Apparently, the results of the study didn't fit their agenda.
2. "Guns in America" overstates the number of children who die by unintentional gunfire. The program would have viewers believe that a child dies by accidental gunfire, once every two days. But you can only reach that figure if you count violent-prone teens as "children."
In fact, when you look at the statistics involving younger children (ages 0-14), you see that kids have a greater chance of dying from choking on things like the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that you feed them.4 Hmm, why doesn't National Geographic want to report on those killer peanuts?
3. "Guns in America" portrays twelve times as many negative uses of guns as positive uses -- even though in the real world, the truth is quite the opposite (as guns are used at least 50 times more often to save life than take life). The program does start with a dramatization of a legitimate self-defense story with an actual 911 call playing in the background. But after that, every dramatization is about drive-by-shootings or cops being shot or gang-related warfare.
The lesson for the viewer is: Guns are bad.
4. "Guns in America" only quotes anti-gun "authorities," thus leaving the impression that all law-enforcement support gun control. Never mind the fact that when one looks at polls of the police community, they overwhelmingly hold pro-gun attitudes:
* Should any law-abiding citizen be able to purchase a firearm for sport or self defense? -- 93% of law-enforcement said yes.5
* Do you believe law-abiding citizens should be limited to the purchase of no more than one firearm per month? -- 70.1% of law-enforcement said no.6
* Do you agree that a national concealed handgun permit would reduce rates of violent crime as recent studies in some states have already reflected? -- 68.2% of law-enforcement said yes.7
It's bad enough that a liberal teacher's union controls the education of our kids in the public schools, and that many of them are being brainwashed with politically correct thinking. We don't need supposedly neutral programs like National Geographic peddling the Brady Campaign's favorite factoids to an unsuspecting public.
ACTION: Please contact Tim T. Kelly, the President and CEO of National Geographic Ventures (which includes their television division), and urge him to steer the NatGeo channel away from politics. If the National Geographic Channel can't run a balanced program -- where they use real statistics -- then they just need to stick to filming those cute little animals that helped make their magazine so famous.
You can go to Cruise Ship Engine- National Geographic Channel to cut-and-paste the sample letter below into their webform. Since you will need to select a Topic, please choose "I have a complaint." And for "Department," we would suggest selecting "Factual Questions" or "General."
---- Pre-written letter ----
Dear Mr. Kelly:
I will think twice before ordering the National Geographic magazine, because I don't want to help you fund any more anti-gun propaganda. Your Explorer show entitled "Guns In America" -- which has run several times this month -- was heavily slanted to the gun control position. The show used fallacious statistics without rebutting them, all in an effort to demonize firearms.
For example, "Guns in America" falsely claimed that guns in the home are 22 times more likely to kill a family member than to serve as protection. That is simply not true. The author of this study, Arthur Kellerman, has been discredited many times (by groups such as the National Academy of Sciences), so it's shameful that your channel would even cite his work.
Second, "Guns in America" overstates the number of children who die by unintentional gunfire. In fact, when you look at the statistics involving younger children (ages 0-14), you see that kids have a greater chance of dying from choking on things like the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that you feed them. Can I expect to see a show in the near future highlighting the danger of feeding children?
Third, "Guns in America" portrays twelve times as many negative uses of guns as positive uses -- even though in the real world, the truth is quite the opposite. According to statistics from the Clinton Justice Department in 2007, guns are used at least 50 times more often to save life than take life.
Finally, "Guns in America" only quotes anti-gun "authorities," thus leaving the impression that all law-enforcement support gun control. Never mind the fact that when one looks at polls of the police community, they overwhelmingly hold pro-gun attitudes. (Please see the poll results on the website for the National Association of Chiefs of Police.) Why were none of these authorities ever cited?
The National Geographic Society's purpose is "to increase and diffuse geographic knowledge while promoting the conservation of the world's cultural, historical, and natural resources." I would submit to you that pushing gun control is far afield from your stated purpose.
1 Arthur Kellerman has generated multiple studies that claim gun owners are more likely to be injured by their guns than to use those guns in self-defense. His results range from 3 to 22 to 43 times more likely to be injured by a gun in the home. His methodology has been debunked, however, many times over. (See endnote 2.)

The grunge-inspired Aussie garage rock quartet follow 2006's 'Vision Valley' with this, their fourth album. Working once again with Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith), who produced their first two albums, they continue to explore the schizophrenic nature of their sound, and the rock numbers rock even harder while the jangly, acoustic West Coast tunes are even more floaty and psychedelic.
