Schizophrenic! The Muddled World of Egalitarian Media Politicos
By Jeff Ziegler
Published November 1, 2000
In scrutinizing the orgiastic exclamations of America's political commentators, I am dismayed by the lack of critical thought and the convoluted reasoning so consistently displayed by the national media both electronic and via the printed page.
While media gurus on rare occasion give some tacit acknowledgment to the notion "ideas have consequences," this lofty ideal is generally overshadowed by a folksy egalitarianism that sets raw emotion as the dominant impulse in national politics. In this sense, the modern media culture doesn't even field an objective humanistic social-political agenda. Hence, we as reformers who often posit our biblical ideal as the antithesis to Humanism, are put in the unenviable position of having to inform the humanist as to the pinions of his own beliefs in order to articulate its persuasive defeat.
To modern media politicos, subjective warm fuzzies carry greater sway than objective policy. This was recently illustrated in Ohio with the endorsement by a major newspaper of a liberal female judge for the Ohio Supreme Court. That they endorsed a liberal judicial activist is not the great wonder but instead the rationale or lack thereof in doing so. The newspaper in question, had over the years, consistently opposed the statist and tyrannical views of this particular judge. Yet, when it was time to proffer endorsements in the latest election cycle, the newspaper enthusiastically endorsed the same wayward woman! The editorial staff lionized her as a judge who renders her decisions with "fearlessness and total passion" and fully ignored the injurious consequences of her judicial oppression which they had only recently opposed.
Such schizophrenic behavior is not confined to Ohio newspapers. In our current national crises regarding the Presidential election, the national media has passed some surreal boundary. Emotionalism marked by hourly polls has overshadowed all concerns for the Constitution, the thoughts of the Founders, or the objectivity of the rule of law. It matters not to the media culture whether the candidate is a socialist, a communist, or a fascist, all is acceptable as long as there is a demonstrative gush of total passion, and mercurial emotion. In other words, subjectivism rules supreme!
The media boys just don't get it. Public officials make public policy. Those policies have real consequences which are beyond polite debate fraternities and stale, moribund think tanks. In the case of abortion, demonstrated sincerity on the part of the judges who enacted Roe v. Wade is of little consequence to the 40 million babies who have been slaughtered by their "total passion." Raw emotion, while an underdeveloped humanistic urge, is just as dangerous, if not more so, than its more intellectually advanced and philosophical cousin. The challenge for the reformer is in cutting through the schizophrenia of hyper-emotionalism and exposing the lie of the humanistic ideal with the objective truth of God's inscripturated will. This is not an easy task and is akin to nailing "Jell-O" to the wall. Indeed, when examining the national media and its political discourse, it has devolved, to coin a phrase, "from the vertebrate to the jellyfish."
Rev. Jeffrey A. Ziegler, the president of the National Reform Association, is also founder and president of Christian Endeavors and Reformation Bible Institute, and co-founder and moderator of The Association of Free Reformed Churches, and a minister at Shiloh Christian Church in Leroy, Ohio. He has lectured in over 600 churches and ministerial conferences in North America, Great Britain, and Germany. Jeff is also president of The Continental Group, a think tank for political activism. His articles have appeared in the Chalcedon Report, and The Christian Statesman. He can be reached at 35155 Beachpark Drive, Eastlake, Ohio 44095. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
"When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing." – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist's suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn't have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
"…a high technology "Uncle Tom's Cabin" arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement." – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation's moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America's dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren't looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Letters to the Editor
Date: February 20, 2014
by: Compiled by Observer staff
+ Eizenstat is wrong about Israel
Dear Editor:
I recently attended a speech Stuart Eizenstat gave at the Jewish Center. When he said Israel was alone, except for the United States, in its affairs, several Canadians who were present hooted and hollered, saying no, Canada was with Israel. Eizenstat replied, "But there's nothing Canada can do because it's such a small power in the world."
How stupid! Eizenstat said this just as Canada's prime minister was visiting Israel and many Canadian government officials were publicly deriding Oxfam's attempts to delegitimize Israel.
There is no place for arrogance in dealing with potential allies of Israel. The little country of Costa Rica was the first at the U.N. to recognize the new state of Israel. Eizenstat needs to be retired. He doesn't know anything about the future of the Jews.
David M. Selcer
+ Homeless were cooperative
Dear Editor:
I would like to personally thank the homeless who gather at Pineapple Park for giving up the fountain for the children and families that have been using it during the farmers market on Saturday mornings. When I asked them if they could find another spot for a while last Saturday, they were very cooperative even to the point of mentioning it needed a little cleaning up. I let them know that was fine and we would sweep up a bit. I commend these folks for doing something good. When it comes to kids, they have a big hearts.
Phil Pagano
Operations manager / Sarsota Farmers Market
+ Comment was in poor taste
Dear Editor:
As a retired Sarasota Police sergeant I applaud the efforts of Chief DiPino and the officers at SPD for reaching out to all citizens in a social setting such as this. I think a majority of citizens feel the same way and look forward to meeting and talking to many of the officers this way. However, I do not appreciate the article taking a small but effective shot at a negative stereotype, which many people flaunt toward all uniformed officers, and that is, of course, the "donut" comment. You may think it's funny, but the officers don't. Just because they are public servants and work for the taxpayers is not an excuse to take a cheap shot at being funny. Think about it, would you do the same if the group were black, Hispanic or gay? This type of perceived humor is expected by people on the street — it's not supposed to come from local media.
Bob Gorevan
+ Scrooge and the workhouse
Dear Editor:
Your opinion regarding jobless benefits sounds like Scrooge talking about the workhouse. The labor participation rate is the result of decades of "corporate welfare" that began with Reaganomics. The American labor market has been destroyed by this policy, which enriches the wealthy American aristocracy at the expense of the middle class. People want to work, but the wages they get are lower than the benefits! The solution would be to raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour. That's what you should be calling for! That would lower benefit and food stamp usage.
Ray Castle
Mr. Castle: Why stop at $20 an hour for the minimum wage? Why not go all the way — guarantee everyone a job at $100 to $200 an hour and eliminate poverty altogether. — Editor

- Your retort to letter writer Ray Castle comes across as snide, childish, and not contributing whatsoever to the debate. The letter writer has taken the time to write to your paper, made a reasonable suggestion, and apparently the best you can do is take it to the extreme, erect a straw man, and "heroically" knock the straw man down. Silliness will not make the world or our country a better place. If this is the best you can do, I suggest just letting your letters to the editor stand on their own like most other newspapers do.

Good news. The folks over at the Chugiak-Eagle River Senior Center will soon be able to resume their exercise regimes when the new treadmill arrives. According to Monika Dahlberg, the center's business development and operations director, the old treadmill was officially taken out of service last week.
Anchorage may soon have one less golf course. A study began more than a year ago by Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and 673d Air Base Wing commander determined that base's golf programs may have excess capacity.
In the world of high school sports, it is as much personality as it is athleticism that dictates which seniors will be scooped up by universities vying for fresh talent. It is no surprise the upbeat, buoyant personality of soccer talent Tristyn Hall has been approached by several universities in the past year.
Hometown rivals Chugiak Mustangs faced off against Eagle River Wolves at the Eagle River High School gym Feb. 20. A large crowd turned out to cheer both teams. First up, the Mustang girls out-shot the Wolves 56-36.
It appeared to be over. With less than a minute and a half left in the Alaska School Activities Association First National Cup semi-final state championship game at the Menard Sports Complex in Wasilla, the Soldotna Stars led the Chugiak Mustangs 1-0.
Eagle River High's girls finished atop the Anchorage Scholastic Bowling League standings following the final week of play Feb. 6 at Center Bowl. The Wolves finished with 196 points, 11 ahead of second-place Bartlett. Chugiak's girls (121) finished sixth.

The New Orleans Saints remained perfect on the 2013 NFL season on Sunday, after defeating the Chicago Bears 26-18 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.
The New Orleans Saints are feeling pretty good right now. A year ago the team had yet to win a single game and entering Sunday's game the Black and Gold are one of two teams in the NFC still unbeaten. A quarter of the season is in the books and we have learned quite a bit about the 2013 Saints.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been nominated for Fed Ex Air NFL Player of the Week, along with Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers. You can vote to get Drew a win!
Drew Brees threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns, and the Saints cruised past the Miami Dolphins, 38-17, in New Orleans on Monday night.
Week 4 of the NFL season wraps up tonight at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome as our New Orleans Saints host the Miami Dolphins in a battle of 3-0 teams.
NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell makes almost $30 million a year. He is higher paid than CEOs of companies like Walmart and Coca-Cola.
New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week, for his week three performance against the Arizona Cardinals.
It was just an all around terrible day for the Arizona Cardinals on defense. In addition to the 31-7 thumping at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the hands of the Cardinals defense got damaged too.
Brees, Graham have big days

Video Update: March 2014 – Interview with Associate Professor Kelly Sims Gallagher
By Admin On March 12, 2014 · Leave a Comment
This month I speak with alumna Kelly Sims Gallagher, associate professor of energy and environmental policy at The Fletcher School, about her latest research, her upcoming book, and several exciting developments at the Center for International Environment and Resource Policy (CIERP), where she is the director.
Kelly's new book, The Globalization of Clean Energy Technology, looks at the barriers to cross-border technology transfer in order to better understand the challenges and develop solutions to increase diffusion of clean energy technologies. Kelly received her MALD ('00) and her PhD ('03) from the The Fletcher School. We are so proud of her accomplishments.
Also, the Fletcher Reunion 2014 is to be held May 16 – 18. View the complete schedule and registration information. Hope to see you there!

How a Sense of Calling Can Affect Career Decisions
New research reveals that having a strong sense of "calling" early on in life may help later in navigating the tension between choosing the career you want versus choosing one for financial stability and job security.

India imports 30% of its gas needs, and this may soon become 70%. Kelkar emphasizes a top price for efficient use and to incentivize all-out exploration.
The Kumar Mangalam Birlacontrolled company had Rs 63,300 crore of debt at the end of March on a consolidated level. It is already dealing with poor aluminium demand.
Of the 204 coal blocks cancelled by the Supreme Court, 59 were allocated to power plants with combined capacity of over 67,000-mw capacity.
The Centre and a clutch of industry associations have pleaded with the Supreme Court not to deallocate 46 coal blocks that are already under production or are about to start production.
"It will be done soon," Union Coal Secretary S K Srivastava said here when asked whether e-auction would be carried out in January next year.
Data will include grade of coal in the reserves, investments made in setting up equipment and building infrastructure.
The government is planning to complete coal block allocation through auction by February next year, a top official said.
The floor price for each tonne of coal, specific to each block, will be calculated on the basis of their NPV — the current valuation of future earnings from each coal block.

Looks like this company tried to pump as much hype as possible to get folks to forget that they just reported a 12 MILLION dollar loss for the quarter.Keep riding the Hype folks, I'll ride the facts and take my money elsewhere.
Oh yeah.The financials are great.
Irish, you mean you don't believe OPMG?
You certainly don't.So your place here, or MO, is Free Speech. You are MLK of the OPMG message board. You don't actually buy and sell stocks. That's great to know. LMAOIt takes all kinds I suppose.HOBO
$12 Million loss for the QUARTER.How much are the top executives of OPMG making????
as for the 12 mill loss, you view , put mildly, an unsophisticated one.The company is a pile of offal, but the 12 mill is not an 'operating loss'.Part is, part isn't , understanding the difference makes a difference.
Good idea. Go elsewhere. You and justfacts and intheknow PLEASE go elsewhere!
Why? Because we don't get caught up in the Beiber Fever? Do you want some cheer leading or the truth?
11 millin non-cash, get the facts straight.
non cash loss
Good. Go away. Nobody likes you any way. Take your football with. We've got 3 more.
You need a little more study of the causes of the loss.Pay particular attention to non-cash expenses.
A loss is a loss. If it wasnt a loss it would be a GAIN which it isnt. Its A LOSS period.
It's what bashers do. They take partial facts and don't report the whole truth.

March is Women's History Month: "Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives" is the theme for National Women's History Month 2015. The theme presents the opportunity to weave women's stories - individually and collectively - into the essential fabric our nation's history. Accounts of the lives of individual women are critically important because they reveal exceptionally strong role models who share a more expansive vision of what a woman can do. The stories of women's lives, and the choices they made, encourage girls and young women to think larger and bolder, and give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience. Knowing women's achievements challenges stereotypes and upends social assumptions about who women are and what women can accomplish today.
Contact the Branch Program VP,
The theme for National Women's History Month (NWHM) 2015 is "Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives."
The 2015 (NWHM) Honorees were chosen for their pioneering leadership and accomplishments in researching and sharing the stories of women's lives. Their achievements - individually and collectively - have been essential in weaving the amazing and courageous stories of women's lives into the fundamental fabric of our nation's history.

The 41-year-old legspinner is still fascinated by his craft and knows he can still get the job done. As long as he doesn't actually have to watch too much cricket
Interview by Faraz Sarwat
May 24, 2012
Related Links
Players/Officials: Stuart MacGill | Shane Warne | John Buchanan | Muttiah Muralitharan
Teams: Australia
I like that when you look at the number of Tests I took to get to 200 wickets, it was relatively fast, but then in time it was ten years. I kind of like that. I think that's fun.
Shane Warne and I very rarely played together when we were both at our peak. A lot of the time when Shane and I played together, he was either injured or coming back from injury or going into injury. When we did, it was pretty formidable.
Like most kids growing up in Australia in the '70s, I wanted to bowl fast like Dennis Lillee, and I certainly tried to be a fast bowler. Dennis was a friend of the family's and I just enjoyed watching him play and I wanted to be him.
John Buchanan was of the opinion that economy rates won you one-day cricket. I still disagree with that. I think if you take ten wickets in a one-day match, you win the game.
Everybody knows I like reading. My new job is in advertising, and reading is now my living.
Everybody always talks about Muralitharan, but he very rarely got the wickets that Shane and I got in the same environment. He's a very good bowler, his record will probably never be beaten, but you can only judge people when they are playing in the same environment, and I remember very well that Shane completely outbowled him on a tour of Sri Lanka.
Shield cricket in the '90s and 2000s was tough, but it wasn't more competitive than international cricket. You had guys like Jamie Siddons, Stuart Law, Darren Lehmann, Michael Kasprowicz and Andy Bichel playing for their states. There were some amazing players. Jamie Siddons didn't play a Test match and he was a ridiculously good player.
I'm very disappointed I didn't get a chance in the IPL. I know that I can still take wickets and I know I don't like playing cricket if I don't. I only want to take wickets, so from a team's point of view, I'm a pretty handy acquisition.
My dad bowled legspin, so I tried to bowl spin as well as bowl fast. I did both until I was about ten years old. I realised I wasn't a very good fast bowler, so from then on I was bowling spin all the time, and I really enjoyed doing what my dad did.
I don't really like watching cricket. I quite like sitting in a corner with a book. It relaxes me. I think you get very tired watching cricket on a cricket tour. Sitting and reading a book is like being on a holiday. Wake me when it's time to bowl.
There are a number of us who still rate the '98 tour to Pakistan as our favourite. I've been to Pakistan twice - I went with an A team as well.
The hardest batsman to bowl to for a spinner was Brian Lara. There's no spin bowler in the world who hasn't been smashed by him. In Shield cricket it was Darren Lehmann and Michael Bevan. Lehmann was the best player of spin in Australia by a long way. Bevan wasn't too far behind. Lehmann would try to hit you from ball one, really hard. As far as right-handers go, VVS Laxman was right up there.
|"I don't really like watching cricket. I quite like sitting in a corner with a book. Sitting and reading a book is like being on a holiday"
Warne and I are both prepared to say that we weren't the biggest fans of Buchanan. You only need to look at New Zealand's experience recently to know that there aren't very many environments that he's worked in that have been successful. I think he was gifted the best team of all time when he was coach of Australia.
When I got my best innings figures in Tests (8 for 108), I didn't come on to bowl until they were almost 200. People say it was against Bangladesh and it doesn't really matter, but they were none-for when I came on to bowl, so it was quite a satisfying haul of wickets.
In Pakistan, we found the people are incredibly friendly. It's clean, the structure is good, the food is good. When you consider that culturally our two countries are so different, we got along with everyone so well and we were looked after so well. I don't like Westerners saying, "Oh, we shouldn't go there", because they don't understand and they don't know how good it is.
The whole Big Bash Twenty20 experience, for me, was up there with some of the best experiences of my life, because we won though we were tipped to finish second-last.
I think I would have been a good ODI player for Australia. But once again if I look at my ODI career, I only played three games but I got six wickets.
Everybody always says that the Australia versus Rest of World game was a farce because the world team didn't try and all that sort of stuff. I know Shane has this opinion too, that he and I bowled really well, and it was no surprise to us that we won the game comprehensively.
Murali was a great bowler but Shane was special in Australian conditions, when you consider that we don't have Asian spin-bowling conditions. Shane was very good - his control was ridiculous.
Dad played a few games for Western Australia, and it was cool to do what he did.
When I started playing first-grade cricket for my club, I looked at [getting] five wickets a game. When I started playing, the most anyone got, when I first looked, was 5.25 wickets per Test. And I thought, "Right, I'm going to go for five", and I ended up getting just under that. That was a really cool thing for me.
I would have loved to have played 100 Test matches. I think my life would be a little different if I had, but if you look at the game historically, 44 Tests is plenty. Forty-four Tests and 200 wickets - I'm very happy with that.
As a spinner, if you're going to get hit in Twenty20, you've got to balance that with a strike rate that's decent. There's no point getting smacked around if you're not taking any wickets. That's the trade-off.
With Sachin Tendulkar, you were very hard-pressed to find an opening, but he didn't really ever get away from me. He made a 200 somewhere, but he occupied the crease, whereas Lara and Laxman would try to smash you and invariably get away with it.
It was actually 17 books, not 24 books that I read on the tour of Pakistan. I've changed it a number of times.
I do consumer insights for an advertising agency. It's quite good fun and sort of like being in university again. They've been very good to me. They let me take six weeks off over the summer for the Big Bash and they let me come here [Toronto].
I find T20 cricket pretty easy for a bowler, provided you don't get upset. It's great for older players. You know that if you get hit for six, it doesn't matter. The batsman's trying to hit you for six every ball, so if you bowl a dot, it's a win.
I enjoyed playing with Warne, and I think it's very difficult for spin bowlers now because they don't get to compare themselves with him. They can only compare themselves with his stats and that's not something they can win. I'm very lucky to have played with him.
There was no question about me playing for another club. If Stuart Clark, the general manager of the Sydney Sixers, hadn't managed to find a spot for me, I wouldn't have played in the Big Bash.
I'm very disappointed at not playing many ODIs. Until recently I was the leading wicket-taker of all time in domestic one-day cricket in Australia. I did very, very well for New South Wales. I got lots of four- and five-wickets hauls. New South Wales won a lot of one-day tournaments - they may have even won five during my career.

Very kind staff, english speaking, good location, breakfast was served after our Nasca lines flight and everything went well.
The service received was brilliant. Pickup from the bus station was free, we were allowed to keep the room all day at no extra charge which was really good as our next bus was at night. Breakfast taken after trip over Nasca lines. Organised a interesting trip to cemetary at short notice for a good price.
Room was basic but clean though with everything needed. Had a huge fan on wall which was noisy. We didn't need it much but in summer may be a problem.
+ we arrived very early (8am) and already got our room + it was possible to get our breakfast on the day of arrival instead on the day of departure
- the room just had a window facing the corridor
Angela was an angel. She made us breakfast earlier because we left for the airport at 7:30. She even let us use the room until 21:30 because our bus was leaving at 22:30 ( check out is at 11:30!) with no charge ! Best stay until now in peru.
Bit noisy like Most hostal in peru.
The stuff was very friendly, we helped us to arrange a trip to Cahuachi pyramids with a private guid for good price. The room was simple but clean. Tte breakfast was very good. Very good location.
Our tripple room has a window which leeds to a corridor - thing so typical for hostels in Peru.
The couple who owns and runs this small hotel is adorable and very helpful, they will try to make sure you have everything you need. Great location about 7 min walk to the Plaza de Armas and the main bus stations to other towns (Ica, Paracas, etc). Excellent breakfast (eggs, jelly, bread, fresh juice, butter, ham). This was the only hotel I stayed in Peru that had a hair dryer. Great shower too with hot water (also rare in Peru...)
Friendly staff. Breakfasts were excellent. Staff are happy to assist in travel needs & tours and prices were competitive.
For the price this was an excellent stay.
Friendly helpful owners
The nicest owners I have ever met!!! Very helpful with tours- I was flying over the Nazca Lines 2 hours after I arrived. They arranged 2 other superior tours. Great time!!!!!!
All was wonderful- stay at Anccalla Inn. They are the best.
Very helpful friendly staff. She gave great advice and went out of her way to help. Rooms great and clean. As a solo traveller I wanted a place to relax so I took a room instead of dorm great decision.
Not a big point but the breakfast was simply bread and omelete followed by fruit. Filling but i always went out for a second breakfast.
The friendly service and tours that the hostel booked for us. Excellent advice things to do without pressure sales and we were able to leave our luggage in the room during the day we left. The best loose leaf tea we have had in Peru.
The shower didn't have much water but considering the difficult water situation in Nasca which is located in the desert, this is to be expected.
Friendly hostel with very nice breakfast
The Angela couple is really a super kind heart hosts. They are willing to give any advice and assisting I needed for trip and well-thoughtful of picking me up from bus station in case i'm lost on my way. Ancalla inn is located near to bus station , souvenir shopping street and good restaurants. Ancalla Inn brought me a great experience.
The breakfast is good. Clean and the host is very nice.
The owners, wife and husband, are very friendly and so kind!
Staff were excellent: accommodating and knowledgeable. Tours and overflights of the Nazca lines were easily and quickly arranged. Anccalla is also close to the bus stations and central plaza.
Clean and safe. Hotel prepared the breakfast in a lunch box for us because of the early check out next day.
When our bus arrived earlier than expected 4.00 am; despite having to wake them the owners welcomed us and gave us a room. Throughout our short stay they were extremely friendly and helpful. 'Breakfast in bed' was a bonus.
Room was a little basic; but commensurate with the price!

Washington, DC - Support of the overall concept and for a two-step Request for Qualifications (RFQ)/Request for Proposal (RFP) procurement process, as well as identification of project complexities, were among the emerging themes of the responses to the recent DC Streetcar Request for Information. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin follow up steps related to points raised in the submissions.
"Responses to the RFI identified key areas of the project where additional analysis is needed prior to issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP)," stated DDOT Director Terry Bellamy. "This is exactly the type of information we were hoping for when we issued the RFI. It will allow us to produce a more informed and therefore, a more effective RFP."
The project areas identified by the respondents for additional analysis include:
The DC Streetcar team is beginning follow-up steps related to these topics. The process will include internal analysis and additional industry outreach. DDOT Director Terry Bellamy will host an industry forum and webcast in November to discuss the feedback gained from the RFI process and share the District's plans moving forward. Additional industry sessions will cover the overall program as well as individual project components. The results of these steps, along with input from the Mayor's Streetcar Financing and Governance Task Force, will inform the future RFQ/RFP process.
"Proposals of this magnitude are often time and resource intensive. Respondents indicated support of a two-step process where firms or teams would be short-listed after a Request for Qualifications," said DDOT Chief Engineer Ronaldo "Nick" Nicholson.

No matter what time you stumbled back to your hotel the night before, the first-thing-in-the-morning DSquared show always gives you a swift kick in the ass, reminding you why you came to Milan in the first place. Imagine—or at least try to—lots of dudes with eight-packs and waxed chests hanging out at a camp site (complete with tents, trees, and a dirt floor) wearing low-slung boxer shorts and rubber rain boots, striding out onto a football-field-long wooden dock (the runway). Layer on top of that plenty of blasting classic rock—from "Sweet Caroline" to Kid Rock's ridiculously cheesy but also ridiculously catchy "All Summer Long"—some ponchos, some backpacks, and some hiking boots, and you've got your basic ass-kicking DSquared show.

12" Treated Cone WooferRugged woofer is perfect in larger traditional three way systems or as a subwoofer. It has also seen great success as a bandpass subwoofer in automotive applications.
I bought two for a three way system that I was building. I put them in boxes with a little over 2 feet of air space. I also have them crossed over at 500HZ. At first I did not like them much and was quite unimpressed. After about two hours of listening to them they have started to loosen up a little and are starting to sound better. These speakers will not move a lot of air however they are not to bad. They seem to be a little more detailed then other woofers I have hear and they are also not very loud as well. I think they are a middle of the line woofer and if you are looking for the gutter shacking drive this is not going to make you very happy.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Naval officer apologizes to family
Sold top-secret data to Russian agents
HALIFAX -- Just over a year after his web of deceit unravelled in a drab police office, a Canadian naval officer convicted of selling secrets to Russian agents rose in court and issued a simple, 30-second apology.
Staring at the judge and with his mother sitting behind him, Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Paul Delisle for the first time publicly acknowledged his years of treachery and the emotional toll it took on his family.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to my children, my parents and my family," he said in a hushed provincial court in Halifax on Friday, slowing once to contain his emotions.
"I love them very much and I'm sorry for the hurt and the pain that I caused them. It's the same for my friends and my colleagues.
"If I could go back in time I would, but I can't and so thank you."
Delisle, 41, pleaded guilty last October to breach of trust and espionage after he was caught trying to transmit sensitive military information to Russian agents who had been receiving a treasure trove of data from him for almost five years.
Crown attorney Lyne Decarie asked for a sentence of at least 20 years in prison for communicating information to a foreign entity that could harm Canada's interests, and five years for breach of trust. They would be served concurrently.
She left it to the judge's discretion whether to sentence Delisle further for a second count of communicating information to a foreign entity.
The defence is seeking a sentence of about nine to 10 years for all of the offences. Both agreed to a fine of $111,817, which was based on the amount of money Delisle collected from his Russian bosses over the years.
Judge Patrick Curran reserved his decision until next Friday.
Decarie argued that Delisle's actions warranted a stiff sentence because his activities damaged Canada's relations with its allies, endangered intelligence agents and exposed their methods of gathering top-secret material.
Not only did this involve Canadian intelligence, but material shared by the so-called Five Eyes community of Canada, the U.S., Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
"It's a complete disregard -- a complete disregard -- for the safety of these individuals," Decarie said in her closing arguments. "I believe there was very serious harm done to Canada."
Decarie said the father of four blamed others for his troubles, didn't try to protect intelligence sources, volunteered his services rather than being recruited and jeopardized the safety of his loved ones.
"And for what reason? He was going through marital problems. He was upset," Decarie said, adding that many people experience similar problems.
"I'm glad they don't all walk into the Russian Embassy and betray Canada."
Video provided Friday by the Crown showed the moment Delisle cracked under questioning by an RCMP officer in a grey-panelled room on Jan. 13, 2012.
Slumped in a chair and wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans, Delisle finally confesses to Jim Moffatt, who patiently reveals that they have been monitoring his email and have screen grabs showing communications with his Russian agent.
"So you know Jeff, we have you, OK -- you're so caught Jeff, you wouldn't believe it," Moffatt says to him. "There is always a reason why people do a thing they do."
At that point, Delisle crumbles and describes how he felt after discovering that his wife of 19 years cheated on him twice.

Chola art and Architecture
Chola art and Architecture
The Cholas continued with the legacy of the Pallavas which have an impression in the artistry of Chola art and culture.
The Chola dynasty was a prominent Tamil dynasty that ruled primarily in the south of India until the 13th century. Among the rulers, Karikala Chola was the most famous among the early Chola kings, while Rajaraja Chola, Rajendra Chola and Kulothunga Chola I were well known among the medeival emperors. They were famous for developing
Tamil literature
along with art and architecture. They built temples not only for religious activities but also economic purposes. The Cholas continued with the legacy of the Pallavas, which have an impression in their art and architecture. Lofty temples and sculpture in stone and bronze acquired heights in excellence like never before, during the Chola domination.
Development Of Architecture:
The Cholas were great pioneers in temple building; they incorporated characteristics of the Pallava temple- building traditions. A large number of temples were built al through their kingdom, which carried the significance of the Dravidian temple design. Architectural trend that followed during the Chola rule, consisted mostly of the temple architecture. And it got hype from the conquests and the genius of Rajaraja Chola and his son Rajendra Chola I. Most of the features of the early chola architecture can be spotted in the later architectural monuments which were the temples only. The two temples of Tanjavur and Gangaikondacholapuram are evident of the maturity and splendor of the Chola architecture. Improvements were made on the styles of these temples later on like, the `torus moulding` in the basement, which was rounded and then had a smooth surface, though in a few cases it is ornamented with vertical grooves or ribs. The `makaratoranas` become tall with narrow reverse curves on each side. Other features like the `kumbhapanjaras` were also developed and carried on top over the abacus, the structure of a `panjara`. The `phalaka` also transformed to thinner types and the padma below it, which was inverted and smooth in earlier, later had petals.
Sculpture duting chola dynasty :
The Chola dynasty has some of the best speciments in bronze and other sculptures. Among the existing specimens in museums and in the temples itself we find sculptures or fine figures of
in various forms of Hindu incarnations. The Chola sculptural medium was bronze which was based on style and technique of the Andhras. The technique during that period was cire perdue, or the lost wax process in which a model of the object complete in all details is first made in wax with wax stems projecting from it at strategic points. The statues were all distinct since the mould were destroyed. When the strict rules of measurement and iconography laid down in the shilpa-shastras were followed, they became similar. The great image of Shiva-Nataraja in his cosmic dance pose, was the most famous among these which not only symbolises the creation and destruction of the universe, but also believed a visual sermon by the devotees.
Style of Chola art and architecture:
Chola art and architecture is distinguished into three groups which helps to classify the styles which are different in each group of architecture. The first group belonging to the period from the accession of Vijayalaya to the accession of Rajaraja I where the stylistic uniqueness detach itself from the structural temples of the Pallavas. The torus moulding in the basement, which is chamfered, is
found in the earlier
Chola temples
, later it got rounded. The cornice was of a flexed shape, and the exterior of the shrine walls had no extravagant sculptural decoration. Sub shrines for attendant divinities (parivara-devatas) were another feature that helped in the development of the temple complex. Two significant changes in the temple complex were the augmentation of parivãra shrines and the introduction of a separate shrine for the goddess. The final phase of the chola architecture revealed a much more mature style. Dãräsuram, Tribhuvanam, Jambukesvaram and Chidambaram bear testimony to this fact.
The Cholas have a rich history in art and architecture and their specimens still exist among us either in museums or temples. They have acquired fame not only in India but abroad as well. Their style was unique which gave an impetus to the whole style of temple building.

I want ultracopier to manage the copy instead of Nautilus.
When I open Nautilus, select a file or folder Ctrl + C (or X), open another folder then Ctrl + V, I want this:
instead of this:
There was a dialogue with the nautilus developers late 2010 but it fizzled out without a conclusion.
The developers said that the current nautilus infrastructure does not allow for the integration of ultracopier with nautilus.
It was mentioned, it should be possible via nautilus scripts - but those scripts cannot be invoked via keyboard - only via the nautilus menu.
Thus to answer the question - no - and not very likely.
The version 0.3 is not ready to use (lot of bug, need be in beta, not in pre-alpha). But it have some improvement to help to integrate to other GUI, for windows a plugin just overwrite the copy handler and send the copy list via the catchcopy protocol. If nautilus allow overwrite copy handler it will be very simple to write a plugin to integrate Ultracopier.
For that, ultracopier wait and listen copy with catchcopy protocol, the version 0.3 will be better to intergrate into gnome. For that's, gnome (nautilus), need send copy to software compatible with catchcopy protocol (like ultracopier).

An overcast and unusually chilly morning didn't stop the Fairmount Community Church from hosting its inaugural antique and fine arts show Saturday June 11 at Shove Park.
The idea envisioned by Nancy Kahn, chair of the facilities board, came about after a subtle observation.
"We used to do a craft sale, a garage sale and flea market," Kahn said, "but it became less attended and just wasn't doing as well as we hoped ... I came up with the idea of an antique show in the first place because it was different."
Roughly 25 vendors and five demonstrators hailed from across Central New York. From Camillus to Syracuse to Liverpool out to Auburn, many set up shop, bargained and finagled with prospective buyers.
Impeccably dressed mannequins stood astute, showing off vintage threads. Through a camera lens, wildlife suddenly became larger than life. Paintings by Camillus' Ceil Pigula brought new meaning to a hard day's work - complete with wine glasses and a bottle of Merlot.
Appraiser Ed Becker, armed with a magnifying glass and medium-sized briefcase, estimated the value of a few people's timeless objects. Pocket watches, perfume bottles and oversized paintings - nothing was turned down.
"The most satisfying thing really is [spiritual] almost," said Becker, a certified appraiser since 1974. "I can take an object - many different objects, I've had over the years - and put it in my hands, and almost feel the history through my body. It gives me chills sometimes."
Norine Stephan of East Syracuse, a former nurse, said retirement was a chance to get back to doing what she loved and dabble in the arts.
"When I got married I had no time for painting," Stephan said. "But I always knew that when I retired, I was going back to painting."
A photograph of multi-colored kayaks positioned neatly in a circle and a compliment from an interior decorator helped re-launch Stephan's production of pictures, multi-media paintings and pen and ink drawings.
