"You don�t know the horrible aspects of war. I�ve been through two wars and I know. I�ve seen cities and homes in ashes. I�ve seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you, war is Hell!"When this theme is in play, war is a hellish, nasty, traumatizing nightmare, and anyone who comes out of it alive will end up a Shell-Shocked Veteran. Those who take pleasure in it are Ax-Crazy Blood Knights or worse. This trope gained its name by the famous quote from General William T. Sherman, "War is all Hell, and I have every intent of making it so." Most people quoting it shorten it to the trope name. The motives for war are depicted as being irrationally primal; survival, pride, greed, need for resources, dogma, fear, disgust, hatred, wrath, retribution, power, insanity, personal conquest, or even all of the above prevail. For the average man and woman, the brute force of wartime authority overrides any thought of their own. Sometimes, the war is shown to be unwinnable, despite all the sacrifices made. There is a correlation between being on the losing side of a war and making a work following this trope: compare treatments of World War II and the Vietnam War in American media. War Is Hell works often show the cumulative long-term effect of exposure to pain, deprivation, violence, and military culture: the horror goes on and on, dehumanizing everybody a little more each night. Heroes in theses stories will typically struggle to Prevent The War, or end it as bloodlessly and quickly as possible. If not, then merely surviving physically, and with most of their humanity and sanity intact. Truth in Television, though fiction may exaggerate, and the degree to which this is true will vary from war to war, country to country, and even soldier to soldier. One thing sure, someone is going to cry. However, most (but not all) works that use this trope completely ignore the (common in real life) idea that sometimes war is necessary. Historically, this trope might be Newer Than They Think. There is a long literary tradition of glorifying war: bravery, discipline, manliness, martyrdom and the right of the strong to take from the weak. As photographs, film and other forms of mass media from the front became more and more common, the newer trope became more and more mainstream, eventually making said tradition obsolete — it's easier to glorify war when you can't see it up close. Though isolated examples of this date back to The Renaissance (in non-fiction), the earliest recognized instance of widespread belief in this trope is probably the Thirty Years' War, which dragged on forever, ruined the German states, and involved such frequent changes of alliances that nobody was really sure why anyone was fighting anybody. The mass armies' constant need to raid the populace for conscripts and food meant that it directly affected a large segment of the population when before, wars had largely passed the vast majority of the people by. As a result, several artists of the period depicted war as a distinctly nasty experience, and popular accounts like sayings seem to confirm a rather gloomy attitude. However, after the Thirty Years' War ended, European militaries grew smaller and wars further from the people (until the Napoleonic Wars, at least), and the trope receded. The American Civil War prompted another early expression of the trope: US Army General William Sherman is commonly credited with saying "War is Hell." Rebel General Robert E. Lee held a similar sentiment: "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we grow too fond of it." It was the first modern 'Total War' and chewed through a hitherto-unheard-of proportion of that country's countryside, people, and wealth. Furthermore, it was the first war that was extensively photographed and one public exhibition of war-photos, The Dead of Antietam by Mathew Brady, made for such a powerful impression that one reviewer said of it: "Mr. Brady has done something to bring home to us the terrible reality and earnestness of war. If he has not brought bodies and laid them in our dooryards and along the streets, he has done something very like it." However, since the reasons for that war (ending slavery) were obvious to everyone fighting, in the fields and factories, and overseas —the horrors of war were just that bit more bearable than they might otherwise have been on account of it them being done in a genuinely good cause. The trope was only really... entrenched... in European culture during World War I, which was far bloodier and had no great moral cause that the people fighting it could comfort themselves with - though during the war itself the British successfully managed to slander Germany as an aggressive expansionist power that wanted to dominate the world (she'd had problems, but wanting to Take Over the World wasn't one of them). Thanks to near-universal conscription in all the major countries of Europe, a large number of writers and poets of the early 20th century had combat-experience, and they did not like what they saw. Well, there was this one recorded World War I soldier who did enjoy his wartime experience spent safely out of harm's way in a series of cosy bunkers and went on to start the most destructive war in human history - a war which ensured that this trope endured in modern culture even into the 21st century. There are several reasons for this. One is that we aren't born as sociopathic soldiers and most modern societies frown on killing for any reason. Most military basic training spends quite a bit of effort to instill into recruits that killing is acceptable and the ends justify the means because their enemies are "savage" and/or "subhuman". For a good look, Full Metal Jacket is a movie to watch. Still, overcoming a lifetime of moral imprinting is very difficult. Many past societies taught their Child Soldiers from birth that killing in war was their noble destiny, so they avoided this problem. Second, being in constant fear for your life and limb is obviously stressful. Especially in the era of modern industrialized combat, which is more dehumanizing than ancient combat. Back then, if you were a genuine badass who is strong and skilled with weapons, you felt like you were in control of your destiny. Furthermore, war often took the form of raiding and rustling and might have actually been fun; exceptions include those who were conquered and thus couldn't write poems. Modern warfare with its mines, partisans, snipers, machine-guns, grenades, mortars, artillery, gunship-helicopters, ground-attack aircraft, firestorms, poisonous gasses, deadly toxins, infectious diseases, and massive conventional and nuclear bombs, mean that death can strike without warning or defense- instilling a mindset of paranoia, insignificance, helplessness and nihilistic despair similar to that portrayed by Lovecraftian Fiction. Chemical, bilogical, and nuclear weapons in particular render your actions more-or-less totally meaningless, as your life itself depends entirely upon whether or when the enemy chooses to use them upon you. Third, the societies that promoted war were also Crapsack Worlds; life was already a short and unpleasant hell anyway. Illness such as bubonic plague could kill you slowly and painfully, food and water was rarely enough to feed everyone, and losing a limb meant losing that precious scrap of food on the table, since there was no such thing as veteran support. Karma Houdinis roamed the streets while No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. Again, past warring societies put further that the very least you can do is to fight and quickly die in an adrenaline rush knowing you did something meaningful. In Norse Mythology, those who died in combat went to Valhalla. And finally, we live in an era of Freedom of Expression where everybody can write and express their opinions. Past societies tended to disdain slaves along with "the common folk" and only recorded the way they lived in general terms. Anything they didn't like was censored easily. War has probably always been hell for poor people: When armies are small and aristocratic, the noblemen trample all over your fields, ruining your crops; when they're large, you have to leave your farm or shop, potentially leaving your family without support, to pick up a spear and some pathetic armor and join the army, or perhaps get in the galleys and row, or Made a Slave...and still, armies trample all over your crops, except when they steal them. These opinions would not be found very often in pre-modern writings, because the people who held them neither knew how to write nor knew anyone who did and would care to listen; today, these stories get picked up fast. This doesn't necessarily discredit war or render it obsolete. If anything, this trope has helped promote justifications of conflict along the lines of it being either a "Necessarily Evil" or an undesirable, last-ditch option when more peaceful means fail. In that regard, especially in North America and Britain, World War II is the shining example of that considering the nature of their enemies and the fact that they were the victors with relatively light losses. In addition, paradoxically and in one of the most confounding ironies known to man, it's been argued that war in some sense has been good for something: namely helping make larger, stable and more peaceful societies possible while reducing the risk of violence over time, and thus less war. May overlap with, but not to be confused with, Hell Is War. Contrast War Is Glorious, which is not mutually exclusive with War Is Hell, especially when the audience gets a kick out of seeing people kill each other, no matter how ugly or condemning the work is. See also Armies Are Evil (highly negative takes on the military). This is Truth in Television, past, present and future. As such, real life examples would be redundant.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A police SWAT team leader who was convicted of assaulting a man while off-duty at a bar has been fired by Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau.
The termination took place on Feb. 21, 2013, but wasn't made public until Wednesday.
An Anoka County District Court jury decided back on April 13 that Sgt. David Clifford was not acting in self-defense when he punched Brian Vander Lee, 44, on June 16, 2012, at Tanners Station in Andover. Jurors found Clifford, 48, guilty of first-, third- and fifth-degree assault.
Clifford joined the Minneapolis police department in 1993 and had received two Medals of Valor, a Lifesaving Award and other department accolades.

Dierks Bentley Ready To Rush The Stage
Dierks Bentley has been tapped to perform at this year's Grammy Awards and is nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for his Number one song, "Home," but he's ready to rush the stage for an award, if his friends, the Grascals win. "Well, I mean, let's look at the stats. I've been nominated for 12, okay? So, I'm pretty used to clapping for somebody else and the camera's right there [clap, clap, clap, clap]. I got that down pretty good. I'm nominated, I think, for 'Home,' for Vocal Event of the Year, but The Grascals, I wrote a song, a Bluegrass song, that's nominated, The Grascals are nominated for Bluegrass Album of the Year. I talked to Jamey the other day from The Grascals, and I said, 'If you guys win, can I rush up there with you?' 'Cause it's a good year for them. The Del McCoury Band is not nominated, there's no, Ralph Stanley's not nominated, Steve Martin-rogue category, so as far as Bluegrass goes, The Grascals' got a pretty good shot. So, if they win, I'm running up there, so I can say I did it, because it's a tough thing to win one, I've found out. But it's always cool to be nominated." Even though, the "Tip It On Back" singer may have been kidding about going onstage with The Grascals, Dierks is always appreciative of the recognition from the Grammys. "It's always cool to be nominated."
The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will air February 10th at 8pm ET on CBS.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA/AP) In another move for LA, the Lakers signed free agent Nick Young, who starred at Southern California during his college career. The 6-foot-7 guard-forward averaged 10.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 59 games for Philadelphia last season.
"At 6'7," Nick's size, ability to create his own shot and athleticism make him a versatile player who will give our lineup multiple looks on the floor," said Kupchak. "He's an exciting player, and we're excited to have him on our roster."
Young previously played in Los Angeles for the Clippers, and was with Washington during his six-year NBA career.
The deal is for one year worth $1.18 million — the veterans minimum.

Canadian trucking giant TransForce closed its $248 million acquisition of Dynamex Tuesday, outbidding transportation investment group Greenbriar Equity.
TransForce was the unnamed "excluded party" in a bidding war that doubled the per share value of the same-day delivery carrier's stock over three months.
The purchase expands $1.8 billion TransForce's same-day business in Canada and gives it a major inroad to the U.S., which accounts for 62 percent of Dynamex's sales.
Dynamex joins a long list of TransForce subsidiaries. The group owns several less-than-truckload carriers, including Canadian Freightways and TST Overland Express, package carrier Canpar, 29 truckload carriers operating in Canada and the U.S. and several specialized logistics, fleet management and oil-related companies.
Dynamex's Canadian sales rose about 6 percent in its last fiscal year. The Dallas-based company reported $406.5 million in revenue in its last fiscal year, with nearly 40 percent -- roughly $154 million -- of those sales sourced in Canada.
Greenbriar Equity first bid $210 million for publicly owned Dynamex in October, and raised that bid to $238 million to counter an offer from TransForce. TransForce upped its bid to $248 million in early December.
The bidding war drove the per share value of Dynamex stock from about $12 in September to just over $25 -- the per share amount bid by TransForce.

Double stroller?
We are overjoyed! EDD 10/08/13 for our first baby. Prayers and good energy to all of you through this journey!
"Your MIL doesn't need a therapist. She needs a priest. Last I checked, therapists don't perform exorcisms." -scamper2402
I tried two different double wides- the Jeep Wrangler umbrella and a double wide jogging stroller but hated taking up the whole sidewalk and it was really hard to take in stores. I finally got a Phil & Teds and love it! It's the size of a single jogger...I'm not a limo or a double wide. It's so easy to push, folds small, and can be used as a single or double.

I was looking closely at double strollers, but my DS will be 3 when lo is born...so I think I'm just going to keep my BOB single stroller.
The Kolcraft Contours is awesome looking if you are going to use it- I have tried it out in a store and it's smoooooth and great to steer.
I decided against one because LO is coming in Oct, it usually snows by halloween here, and I really don't see myself strollering anywhere until at LEAST the end of April. And if I do, I can wear LO and stroller DS, or stroller LO and DS can walk and I can put the ergo/moby in the stroller storage.

For $12 you can get connectors to turn two umbrella strollers into a double (and then they can un-snap again if you just need one). I got the umbrella strollers on clearance at CVS for $3!! I figure DD won't need the stroller as much once the LO is here but it will be nice to have the option for her to sit down. We could also un-snap them mid-trip if we needed to split up for any reason.

On January 25, during protests commemorating the two-year anniversary of the revolution that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak, human rights organizations received 19 reports of violent sexual assault. Attackers used blades to cut victims in at least two of these attacks, including on or near their genitals.
Although these attacks were unusually severe, a vast majority of Egyptian women face other forms of sexual harassment every day. A report published in April by the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality shows that 99 percent of Egyptian women have experienced some form of sexual harassment. The most common manifestation of harassment came in the form of touching, with 96 percent of women saying they've experienced it. These figures have risen since 2008, when a similar study reported that 83 percent of women experienced harassment.
"Many people have told us that they feel safer, more confident, and more intimidating to harassers after taking self-defense."
Now, some anti-harassment organizations are beginning to turn to martial arts as a way to help cure Egypt's sexual harassment epidemic.
Tahrir Body Guard, an organization that formed in response to the widespread reports of sexual assault in Tahrir Square, is centered on the belief that women have the right to protest safely in the square just as men do. They have organized anti-harassment patrol groups to rescue and protect women in the square. In February, they began an initiative that aims to help women protect themselves through self-defense, not only in the square, but throughout Cairo. Every other week, Tahrir Body Guard offers a free class for women in Samia Allouba Gym and Fitness Center in Mohandiseen, Cairo. Trainees learn simple techniques that target vulnerable areas and require little strength, such as finger twisting and windpipe striking.
Harassmap is another organization that seeks to end the social acceptability of sexual harassment. It uses online mapping and reporting technology to raise awareness: Women who have experienced harassment can use Harassmap to report details of the incident and receive support. The organization also recommends that women receive self-defense training and lists a number of martial arts studios on its website. Rebecca Chiao, co-founder and project leader of Harassmap, says that self-defense training reduces trauma experienced by victims of sexual harassment. She has noticed a significant increase in the number of self-defense classes available over the past three years. "Many people have told us that they feel safer, more confident, and more intimidating to harassers after taking self-defense," Chiao said.
Later this summer, Harassmap will work with Lina Khalifeh, the founder of a group called SheFighter to organize a public women's self-defense seminar in Cairo. SheFighter is based in Jordan and is the only women's self-defense studio in the Middle East designed for women, by women. Khalifeh founded the organization when she found out that her friend was beaten almost daily by her brother and father, who then confiscated her paycheck. "Arab women face many challenges every day. Men often have a controlling attitude towards women sharing their opinions or even starting their own businesses," Khalifeh says. SheFighter's main goal is to empower women through self-defense skills. Khalifeh has received many emails requesting she open a SheFighter branch in Egypt, as Egyptian women are increasingly eager to acquire these skills.
Researchers in the United States who have studied the psychological effects of self-defense training found that it does tend to empower women. In a review of twenty such quantitative studies, Leanne R. Brecklin of the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Illinois concludes that self-defense training needs to become a priority of the anti-rape movement in the United States. "Self-defense training can provide an alternative view of women as independent, strong, and capable and may undermine violence against women and gender inequality," she argues . In addition to enhancing rape prevention strategies, self-defense training also provides women with many physical and psychological benefits, such as increased self-esteem, confidence, perceived control, and assertiveness.

- Jean Paul Gaultier Planning Streetwear Line
- Posted 26 months ago by Jack Lowe · style · 7759 Views
French haute couture fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has announced that he is planning to launch a men's and women's streetwear clothing line in Spring 2014. Apparently Gaultier is still hashing out the details of his five year agreement with licensing company Ittierre SpA, so details on the line are limited, but it sounds as though the price point will be lower than usual and the target market will be a lot younger.

Alhurra, the U.S. government-funded Arabic news channel, paid former Bush and Clinton administration officials, lobbyists and high-profile Washington journalists tens of thousands of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money to appear on the network as commentators, according to interviews and a review of company records.
A number of payments went to people tied to the White House and the Republican Party. Chad Kolton, a former spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence and Federal Emergency Management Agency; Trent Duffy, President Bush's former deputy press secretary; Jennifer Millerwise Dyck, a former aid to Vice President Cheney and former CIA spokeswoman, and Terry Holt, the spokesman for Bush-Cheney 2004, were among those paid to appear.

Hillary Clinton's age and health status are "fair game" if she throws her hat into the race for the 2016 presidency, the Republican Party leader said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press."
I dont think theres a graceful way to bring up age, health and fitness for a candidate who wants to be president of the United States, said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus when asked about reports that Republican strategist Karl Rove claimed Clinton could have suffered brain damage from a blood clot two years ago.
"It was fair game for Ronald Reagan. It was fair game for John McCain," Priebus added.
Reagan took office in 1981 at age 69, and McCain was 72 on Election Day in 2008. Clinton is currently 66 years old.

1994 Geo Prizm Question: Change timing belt
Answer #1ZeeTech November 17, 2010, 04:53Master
This is an interference engine. If the engine lost timing due to timing belt failure, there is a big possibility for valve damage. In this case the cylinder head has to come off and valves replaced / inspected.

Toyota hasn't made an "interference" motor in years- the 4A-FE definitely isn't. -Here's a link to Autozone's Vehicle Repair Guide for a '93 (My car is a '94 Prizm with the 1.6 as well, and that's what I have listed, and what it's supposed to be referencing... Don't know why it's not pulling up the right year, but should be the same DOHC from '93 to '94 ) Have fun and Good Luck!

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Milwaukee Film Festival pick: Day Three
The Milwaukee Film Festival cruises into the weekend with 27 screenings Saturday alone.
There's an appearance by Milwaukee director and "Soul Food" creator George Tillman Jr. at a screening of his new R-rated film "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete," at 7:30 p.m. at the Oriental, and of his 2009 film "Notorious" at noon at the Downer Theater.
But my pick of the day is the bleak and compelling "Beyond the Hills," at 9 p.m. at the Fox-Bay. The film by Cristian Mungiu, the Romanian director of "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" is set at a remote and austere monastery, where a group of orthodox nuns and their spiritual leader find their faith tested by an unwanted visitor from the outside world. »Read Full Blog Post

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The boy wizard from Britain has returned for the fifth installment of the Harry Potter film franchise. At the age of fifteen, Harry Potter is about to enter his fifth year at Hogwart's Academy of Magic when circumstances force him to draw his wand in a public area. As such, he is witnessed by a non-magic person using his wand; a violation of rules that the Ministry of Magic does not look at kindly. Now Harry is faced with expulsion from his school and familiar surroundings, and soon finds himself at a controversy about the ending sequences of the fourth film. In The Goblet of Fire, Harry came face to face with the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, and additionally witnessed the death of new friend Cedric Diggory. Though we know Harry went through the ordeal as the audience, many people within the story refuse to believe that Voldemort could be returning to reek havoc on the world.
With Harry getting blasted by those in power, Hogwart's stops teaching defenses to the dark arts, thus leaving anyone who might be attacked vulnerable to those that might attack them. Finding this unacceptable, Harry along with friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley decide to teach those who are interested spells that can help them in grave situations. Harry starts to develop into a leader within the story, and soon we get to see what his character is really all about. Simultaneously, the audience is introduced to The Order of the Phoenix, a group of outcasts and do-gooders who want to fight should Voldemort and his forces try to undertake any further evil deeds. With the prospect of the evil side of magic gaining strength, and the Ministry refusing to realize the consequences of such, Harry and his group of friends must make a stand in order to defend what is right.
Where the past films have all been about Harry Potter's development as a wizard and skills that he gained along the way, this story really shines the light on him as the one person that needs to lead the "good" side of things. As such, the focal-points of the story start to focus on how he can share his knowledge, and help to develop the powers of those who will fight with him. It is a rebellion of sorts as well, as many kids at Hogwart's buck the authority being thrust upon them, and try to learn all of this in secret. We all know that there is a fight coming, but the main drama of the story is whether Harry and his friends will be ready in time. From this standpoint, The Order of The Phoenix was able to build up a high level of excitement, and as a viewer you knew that all of the tools they were learning would come in handy one fateful day. Along those lines, this is one of those films that does a lot of building in order to have a pretty climatic conclusion.
From the perspective of just reviewing what was on the screen, I think that there were a lot of flaws within this film. Having not read the novel, there were characters that I didn't recognize or know anything about, and the film didn't explain who they were or what they were doing in certain scenes. There was no real explanation of who was in The Order, and there were times where it seemed like there were big plot-holes that were probably glossed over by readers of the novel as common knowledge. For me though, these holes really put a crimp on some of the enjoyment of the story, and led to a few moments of head-scratching when the final credits had been rolled. That being said, and even though I thought the editing could have used a little improvement, I really did enjoy myself watching Order of The Phoenix. The film was exciting, dramatic, and there were many scenes I would want to see again, which is really what a film like this is all about. Compared to other Potter films though, I felt this one was a little lacking. I think in the end, even though there were some holes in the telling of the story, that it was still enjoyable enough to garner my recommendation.

There's a lot of confusion about Hadoop and where it fits into the overall Big Data landscape. Datamation takes a look at this open source software framework that stores and analyzes large data sets distributed across multiple servers--and dispels six big Hadoop myths.
Myth #1: Hadoop is a database
Hadoop is often talked about like it's a database, but it isn't. "There's nothing in the core Hadoop platform like a query or an index," said Marshall Bockrath-Vandegrift, a software engineer with Damballa, a security company. Damballa uses Hadoop to analyze real-time security threats.
Myth #2: Hadoop Will Require Programmers
Depending on what you plan to do, this myth may come true. If you plan to build the next great Hadoop-based Big Data suite, you'll need programmers who can write in Java and understand specialized MapReduce programming. However, if you're content to build on the work of others, programming shouldn't scare you off. Most data integration tools will have GUIs that abstract MapReduce programming complexity, and many come with pre-built templates.
Myth #3: Using Hadoop is Cheap
This is a common misconception associated with anything open source. Just because you're able to reduce or eliminate the initial costs of purchasing software doesn't mean you'll necessarily save money. One of the problems with the cloud, for instance, is that it's so easy to run a science project on Amazon that developers of all sorts throw projects up in AWS, forget about them, but keep paying for them.

After President Obama gave his speech on Syria last night, there was a scramble to get reaction from the region's congressional delegation, and fit it into the tight space in this morning's Spokesman-Review. We wound up with a shortened version of the reaction. For a fuller version of their comments, go inside the blog.
