The Leveson inquiry into the "culture, practice, and ethics" of the British press resulting from the News International phone-hacking scandal has caught science journalism in its tractor beam.
In the course of his opening statement in mid-November, Robert Jay, counsel to the inquiry, mentioned that "members of the scientific community may be providing the Inquiry with evidence along the lines that much real harm is done by certain sections of the Press who, it is said, do not always apply the scientific method to their reports or commentaries upon subjects of topical scientific interest."
In an editorial last week, the journal Nature urged scientists to use the Leveson inquiry as an "opportunity to fight back against the agenda-driven reporting," asserting that:
Journalism that favours attitude over accuracy is more common than scientists suspect, and not just on the comment pages or in the tabloids. And it is also more damaging — with news editors behind the scenes ordering certain lines on high-profile stories, no matter what the science says.
Not many people or groups within the scientific community seem to be availing themselves of the opportunity to complain, however.
Fiona Fox, the chief executive of the London-based Science Media Centre (SMC), sent an e-mail to a network of science communicators in the UK called STEMPRA and received "lots" of responses from scientific organizations saying they did not plan to submit anything to the Levson inquiry.
So the SMC, a press office and clearinghouse for scientific information and contacts, solicited feedback from a group of science press officers and journalists and submitted a twelve-page document saying that although it "does not believe that science reporting should be treated as a special case," it welcomed the chance to "step back and reflect" on the ways to improve coverage.
"When the media gets it wrong the impact is devastating and causes real harm to individuals and society," the Centre argued, citing case studies involving the credulous or sensational reporting of alleged connections between childhood vaccinations and autism; sleeping position during pregnancy and stillbirth; and misdiagnosed miscarriages and early termination of pregnancy.
In addition to erroneous and misleading reporting, the SMC's statement addressed the issue of agenda-driven reporting, as singled out by the Leveson inquiry.
"We accept that the UK's newspapers have a fine tradition of campaigning newspapers and we would not want to argue against that," Fox wrote in an e-mail. "However we state that we do not accept that requirements and standards of accuracy can be sacrificed to a newspapers' campaigning agenda as has happened before with newspaper campaigns against genetically-modified crops, climate science, etc. Taking an editorial line against GM or climate change is one thing - but including inaccurate or misleading news reports in the newspaper is wrong and should not happen."
The SMC's most significant recommendation to the inquiry was that the UK's Press Complaints Commission (PCC)—an independent arbiter with no real parallel in the US—change a rule stating that only an individual scientist involved in a story can file a complaint, allowing the organization representing the scientists and others in the scientific community to file as well. Beyond that, it counseled the Leveson inquiry to take a number of other sensible, but familiar measures:
• New guidelines for the reporting of science - these guidelines would be drawn up by science journalists and used primarily by news editors and general reporters. They could also be used by a newly strengthened PCC to help adjudicate on complaints.
• Encourage newspapers to appoint at least one news editor and sub editor with a background in science reporting.
• Encourage newspapers to ensure that all science stories are checked by specialist science reporters and that news editors defer to their specialists' judgment on the quality or otherwise of science stories.
• Headlines on important public health stories should be agreed by the relevant science reporter.
• Basic science training should be offered as a matter of course as part of the overall training of journalists.
• Corrections of serious inaccuracies should be as prominent as the original story, including in how they are promoted (e.g. via social media).
The Wellcome Trust, a charitable foundation that supports biomedical research and the medical humanities, is drafting a submission for the Leveson inquiry. The group declined to share any details, but the document will be posted on its website once its finished, according to senior media officer Craig Brierley.

It could not be easier to get to, being in such a central location, very close to the central bus/train station, making it incredibly convenient for all travellers whether arriving by coach, train or aeroplane (the bus shuttle from Naples Airport travels non-stop directly to the bus station in minutes) - and right in the midst of all the local attractions. Not only does Robby's House have all of these plus-points, but it is also probably the most economical B&B in all of Naples. All-in-all, any visitor to Naples would be well advised to stay at Robby's House.

Hula: Merrie Monarch's Golden Celebration
Directed by Roland Yamamoto
"Hula is the language of the heart, therefore, the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people." These are the words uttered by King David Kalākaua describing the importance of the traditional dance. Although everyone has either heard of or seen a hula performance, few outside of the Hawaiian islands understand the rich cultural history and elaborate storytelling behind the fluid motions. HULA: MERRIE MONARCH'S GOLDEN CELEBRATION provides a deeper look into the 50th anniversary of the namesake festival and its performers.
Past winners of the festival's Miss Aloha Hula titles and the Hau'oli Hula Maidens discuss their experiences with hula. More than simply an exotic dance, hula is vastly more meaningful in its ability to create community and carry tradition.
- Derrick Leung
Guests In Attendance: Roland Yamamoto (Director)

Na Loea: Lolena's Legacy
In a period of rapid change and fading traditions, there were a few that sought to pass down Hawaii's native language to the younger generations. One of them is Lorena, a native speaker from Ni'ihau, Aunty to her young students. She passes down not only their precious native tongue, but also the importance of familial affection and cultural heritage.

Loving the Curve is up to your fingers
The BlackBerry Curve really comes down to a decision about the keyboard.
It seems almost treasonous to diss the ">BlackBerry 8300. It's thin. It's got style. And it does everything except make breakfast for you. It has a 2 megapixel camera, plays MP3s and videos, and you can pop in a microSD card. It's a decent phone. And of course, there's that superb push e-mail.
So, what could go wrong? Well, the keyboard.
If you liked the 8800, sell it on eBay and grab the 8300 fast. You'll love it. If anything, the tiny space between keys makes it even a bit easier to type. But after three days of solid usage, the part of my hand located between my thumb and index finger is aching.
Absent that, the Curve is great. But that insolvable problem that's causing my hand to hurt is sending me back to my 8703e.
Ah, comfort.

Probably the coolest business card ever, this Space Invaders design stands out from generic products of its kind. Created by Italian Art director Paolo Castellaneta, these cards are a way to set yourself apart from others in a big way.
The cards are shaped like the famous video game characters, and are made from bright neon plastic. The cards come in a variety of colors, including red, orange, green and blue. The material used for the plastic was plexiglass and silk-screen.
Anyone who received one of these at a meeting would be sure to take notice of their business over anyone else's. Castellaneta's design, above all, stands out from the crowd and makes a reference to beloved games of years ago.

On Body Image
Show of hands: Who has struggled with their body image? Okay, put your hands down (I'm lowering mine).
Now, who has finally grown secure in her own skin only to have her pre-teen or teenage daughter begin to question things like why she doesn't look as thin as so-and-so and why her thighs are so "blarby"? Okay, put your hands down (I'm lowering mine).
So, I'm not a child psychologist and don't begin to say that I have the answers to such questions. I try to lead by (healthy) example, and serve (mostly) healthy foods in hopes that my daughter will feel empowered and, therefore, secure.
Meantime, I came across this beautiful celebration from Reader's Digest of what naked bodies look like from the point of view of a massage therapist. I read it to my girl (and will subject my boy to as soon as he starts asking questions about his "blarb"). Hopefully, you'll find it equally illuminating when and if such questions arise in your home.

We have an older house with plaster walls and would like to mount the TV to the wall. When they removed part of the wall in another area of the house I remembered seeing metal mesh in some parts. We have a cheapy stud finder and that one has failed at finding studs, so we bought a more expensive one, and I am not sure that the results can be trusted. I also do not want to turn the wall into swiss cheese trying to find the studs. Is there any good way to find studs in these walls?
**Also posted in This Old House section*** |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a single very expensive stud finder that works on plaster, but it will mess up if expanded metal is present. Expanded metal was used to strengthen interior corners, hold metal bead on exterior corners, and even as the entire lathe in place of wood strips. By a couple 1/16 inch drill bits and start hunting. While nominally on 16 inch centers, older house often wander a little. The lightweight spackling putty makes short work of filling the small holes. the drills will quickly be dulled, and not be useful for anything else without sharpening. The plaster will |

there are stud finders that have deep scan and similar modes and that work fairly well in plaster. always double check a result by scanning a couple feet up on the same vertical plane. the studs will be 16" apart from the center of one to the center of the next. starting from the corner, you can measure out in 16" increments and get a good idea where the stud will be. then you could drill a single hole and if you don't hit a stud, use that hole to find the location of the stud. do this by fashioning a rigid metal exploration tool out of an old coat hanger and linesman type pliers. this can work but you have to slowly rebend the hanger a number of times to get a good idea of distance. how big is the tv? a big anchor in a plaster wall can hold a lot of weight. |

@ civ_IV_fan, we have a 40" TV. |
"deep scan and similar modes and that work fairly well in plaster" Not really. There are many other things in plaster that make them fail (like metal mesh) and all the 'deep scan' in a $50 detector is not going to help. Move into the $150 range and you can get some that work more often, but they are still fooled by metal mesh (and fail badly if the mesh is the lathe). |

Thank you for the responses. @Brickeyee DH and I did exactly what you suggested and we were able to mount the TV to the wall in the middle of the studs. We got it done on Saturday and it is still on the wall so I guess that's a good sign. Thanks! |

Toshiba Gigabeat-U Media Player: 24 Colors, No Periwinkle?
Toshiba has rolled out a new series of Gigabeat-U digital media players in a huge variety of 24 candy-like colors.
With colors like bamboo, rattan, peony, persimmon and green onion, I thought I was looking at the paint swatches at the Home Depot.
While they may look purty, the Gigabeat U103 series doesn't offer anything particularly earth-shattering in terms of features. The media players have 1GB of flash memory, a small OLED color display and can play MP3, WMA and WAV tunes. I do like that they have a built-in FM receiver with recording capability, as well as an FM transmitter for sending your audio to your radio, a feature sorely missing from Apple's iPod line.
The U103 players go on sale today in Japan for ¥13,800 (about $113 USD.)

Although researchers have long suspected that HIV-1's origins lie in some way with chimpanzee infection through a closely related virus SIVcpz (simian immunodeficiency virus from chimpanzees), only a few captive apes had been found to harbor SIVcpz. In the study, UAB Professor of Medicine Beatrice H. Hahn, M.D., and her team conducted the first-ever molecular epidemiological survey of SIVcpz infection in wild-living chimpanzees in west-central Africa. By analyzing ape fecal samples collected by trackers from the forest floor in remote jungle regions of Cameroon, Hahn and her colleagues were able to detect SIVcpz-specific antibodies and nucleic acids (viral genetic information) in as many as 35 percent of chimpanzees in some ape communities.
The UAB investigators went on to molecularly clone and sequence the complete viral genomes from four individual chimpanzees. According to UAB post-doctoral researcher Brandon Keele, Ph.D., lead author of the report, "this allowed for unprecedented genetic comparisons to be done between HIV-1 and its closest simian virus counterpart." He went on to say that "finding this cluster of naturally infected chimpanzees will allow us to explore the natural history and behavior of SIVcpz in its natural host and help us begin to unravel how and why SIVcpz made the jump to humans."
Hahn, who for more than a decade has led an international effort to elucidate the origins of HIV-1, emphasized that the current study could not have succeeded without a close working partnership with Cameroonian government officials and with other collaborating scientists, including George M. Shaw, Ying Ying Li, Jun Takehisa, Mario Santiago, Frederic Bibollet-Ruche, and Yalu Chen from UAB; Fran Van Heuverswyn, Florian Liegeois, Eric Delaporte and Martine Peters from the University of Montpellier, France; Elizabeth Bailes, Louise Wain, John Brookfield and Paul Sharp from the University of Nottingham, England; and Severin Loul, Eitel Mpoudi Ngole and Yanga Bienvenue from the Project Pr�vention du Sida au Cameroun (PRESICA).

Wyoming Student Loans
Find Affordable Aid from Experienced Lenders
Wyoming boasts a strong higher education presence, with noted colleges and universities spread across the state. Colleges like Casper, Northwest and Sheridan provide degree programs in liberal arts and technology fields. University of Wyoming is a first-class research center, with a study body that exceeds 13,000 students annually.
Community colleges like Western Wyoming Community College fill valuable educational roles for students seeking associate's degrees and certifications for skilled trades and other vocations. The lesson for college-bound high school graduates? - Though it is not the higher education hotbed found in states hosting greater numbers of major-metropolitan ares, the State of Wyoming puts-worth viable schooling options for college students at all levels, and in all academic majors.
The financial aid landscape for Wyoming college students includes gift-aid, like scholarships and grants, which does not require repayment. Whenever possible, free-financing is the preferred option, leaving college graduates debt-free following school. But the costs of higher education frequently exceed the free-money that is available, so needy students turn to loans for supplemental college funding.
Federal Opportunities for Wyoming College Students
Federal financial aid programs provide the deepest resources for college funding, including free money grant programs like Pell and Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants. Some government grants, like those issued through the longstanding Pell Grant Program, are dispensed based on each student's college financing requirements. And while they are need-based, they are designed to help students with moderate to low incomes. FSEOG Grants, on the other hand, are reserved for the students displaying the greatest levels of economic hardship.
Federal Loans provide a low-interest fixed-rate option for students requiring financing beyond grants and scholarships. The loans were once issued by private banks, but today are administered by the Department of Education. The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program services subsidized and unsubsidized borrowing options for undergraduates and graduate students.
Wyoming college students are well-served by government-backed loans, because interest rates are currently around 3.4%, and do not change during the life of the loans. Subsidized versions provide government-paid interest during certain periods, like during attendance and grace periods following school.
Help From Your Home State
Wyoming college students enjoy access to state-funding financial aid programs like the Hathaway Scholarship and the Douvas Scholarship. The Hathaway Scholarship is administered in four separate parts, each carrying specific eligibility requirements. The program is designed to provide merit-based incentives for state students to succeed in secondary and post-secondary scholastic endeavors.
Qualified applicants submit SAT or ACT scores, alongside current transcripts and faculty recommendations. Scholarships are applied to tuition and expenses at the state's community colleges and at the University of Wyoming. First steps toward application include submitting the federal financial aid evaluation form known as FAFSA. The Free Application for Federal Student Assistance helps the Wyoming Department of Education work with the Federal Government to determine your financial aid needs for college.
Your college campus financial aid office uses FAFSA data to assemble a package of assistance that meets your tuition needs, and helps cover additional higher education expenses like room and board, transportation and books. When additional resources are required, students use private lenders to close the affordability gap.
Alternative Loans for Wyoming Students
Alternative, private, student loans are a go-to resource once other forms of aid are depleted. Because they are issued by for-profit banks and credit unions, private loans are not as student-friendly as those disbursed by government agencies – interest rates are higher, and the loans carry origination fees and other ancillary costs.
The greatest distinction, however, is the credit-based nature of private financing. Where government-sponsored student loans do not require good credit, privately issued funding does. If you are a low-credit or no-credit borrower, expect to land student loans with the help of a credit-worthy co-borrower.
What to do with Multiple Loans
Borrowers carrying more than one federal student loan are eligible for Federal Direct Consolidation Loans, which allows them to be combined. By lumping outstanding debt into a single consolidated loan, students are able to cut interest rates and adopt repayment schedules that line-up with their ability to pay. By structuring affordable payments, borrowers avoid default and protect credit.

"Right now is a time when many people feel afraid and unsure. Economic, health, and safety fears seem to be at an all time high," Moore said.
Moore, who holds a master's degree in counseling, said, "fear can keep us from living healthy happy lives, as well as lead to more violence and pain. It's often a vicious cycle. The message of 'Fear Not! Courage for Every Challenge' is simple. You are not alone in the struggle and God will help you."
In this insightful, heartfelt book, Moore walks you through some key areas of life where you can regroup and reclaim what fear has stolen from you.
Written from the perspective of someone who has learned to face many fears; fear of lack, fear of people, fear of failure, fear of family responsibility, this penetrating, yet easily readable book will help you identify fear and the places it has wounded you.
"My prayer is that in this book readers can find hope for a fearless life, where there is abundant courage for every challenge" Moore added.
Moore will be signing books at White Wing Christian Bookstore, 3750 Keith St. N.W. Aug.10, from11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Robin's Fresh Take: Healthy Slow-Cooker Dinners
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, January 14, 2011I don't know what I would do without a slow-cooker this time of year. I can throw a bunch of ingredients into the pot in the morning (or even the night before) and dinner is ready 8 hours later. And, if I'm not ready, (if soccer runs late or homework takes too long) the meal stays warm and waits for us. Plus, when it's cold outside, there's no question an aromatic, one-pot feast warms your heart and soul. Here are my favorite healthy slow-cooker recipes.
Slow-Cooker Dinners Made Healthy
It's super-easy to make slow-cooker meals healthy — they require little fat, and the braising process that occurs over long-simmering keeps lean meats moist and vegetables tender and flavorful. So what should you put in your slow-cooker? Check out some of my favorites (and then send me YOURS!):
Savory Pot Roast With Vegetables
Sear a 2-pound beef bottom round roast in a little olive oil until browned on all sides. Fill the bottom of a slow-cooker with cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, baby carrots, sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped white onion. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt, black pepper, dried oregano and dried thyme. Place the beef on top of the vegetables and pour over a 28-ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, until beef and vegetables are tender. To make gravy, whisk about 1/4 cup of flour into about 1/2 cup of the pan juices and then return the mixture to the rest of the pan juices; simmer on high heat until thickened.
Pork Loin With Apricots and Apple Cider
Place a sliced yellow onion and sliced turnip into the bottom of a slow-cooker. Place a 2-pound boneless pork loin roast on top of onion and turnip and season with salt and black pepper. Top pork with 2 cups dried apricots. Whisk together 1 cup of apple cider, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon ground cumin; pour mixture over pork. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 to 9 hours, or until pork is tender.
Mexican Chicken With Salsa, Black Beans and Corn (pictured)
Place a sliced yellow onion and green bell pepper in the bottom of slow-cooker. Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) on top of onion and pepper. Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Combine 2 cups prepared salsa, 4-ounce can minced green chilies, 15-ounce can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup frozen white corn and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until chicken is cooked through. Serve with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese sprinkled over top.

When the BMW Sauber F1.08 was launched back in January, the team admitted they had taken a gamble with its design philosophy. Mixed results from winter testing suggested that gamble may have backfired, but two races into the season and things couldnt look more different. Lying a clear second in the constructors championship, it seems that McLaren and Ferrari could have a real fight on their hands by the time we get to Europe. Not surprisingly, team principal and BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen, is rather happy with progress
Q: How do you review the situation after the first two races of the season?
Mario Theissen: Naturally we're extremely pleased with the way the season has started off for us. Two second places by Nick and Robert in Melbourne and Sepang, Robert on the front row of the grid in Australia, Nick claiming the fastest race lap in Malaysia, plus 11 points in one race and 19 in the championship - that's an outstanding achievement and a strong basis for the coming races. It demonstrates we have been making steady progress since the roll-out in mid-January. I wasn't just gratified by our good results, but above all by the performance and pace we managed in both races.
Q: The BMW Sauber F1.08 didn't come up to expectations in the first tests. How did the engineers deal with that?
MT: It was the first real acid test for our young team. Since the first outing in Valencia the day after the launch, we refused to be diverted at any stage and systematically continued along our planned path. Measured data and driver feedback were compared, causes analysed and a whole package of measures adopted - with success. In the weeks following the launch of the F1.08, we not only brought the car up to speed but also learnt a great deal in the process. In retrospect these were extremely productive and motivating weeks. Willy Rampf and the entire team deserve a huge compliment for never once losing sight of the goal even under extreme pressure.
Q: You mentioned a package of measures. What precise modifications have been made to the car?
MT: During the first tests we very quickly established that the F1.08 is a far more complex car than its predecessor. It wasn't a case of an individual component in the car not working. The key factor was that, in the first tests, individual elements weren't interacting with each other perfectly. We rectified that step by step. It was a matter of fine-tuning the overall package, which we managed to improve through dozens of minor alterations. On the aero front we optimised the interplay of the front wing, deflectors and underbody, and in terms of mechanics, for example, we modified the front suspension slightly. These are all changes you can't see but which all add up to a significant improvement in performance. And, of course, with each test we were able to gather new data that now enables us to find the right set-up for varying conditions.
Q: So will you be pitching your season target higher now?
MT: There's no call for that really. Our goal is to close the gap to the leaders and win our first race. That's a fairly ambitious goal and we're sticking to it. In the first two races we managed to open up the two-way battle. We were faster than one of the two top teams on each occasion. But one shouldn't draw any premature conclusions. We're still not on a par with Ferrari and McLaren-Mercedes. However, the latest results are certainly a great incentive for everyone. The clear message to the workforce is: we can make it.
Q: How much potential remains inside the BMW Sauber F1.08?
MT: We've still got several arrows in our quiver and certainly haven't exhausted our entire potential yet. The next major step is planned for the European curtain-raiser in Barcelona. For us one thing is clear: risking a major concept leap in the winter has paid off. Now it's up to us to systematically continue along the path we've embarked on.
Q: How do you rate the performance of your two drivers?
MT: Both of them have delivered what we expect of them. Not just in the two races, but prior to that during the important testing work over the winter. Both of them have prepared single-mindedly for the new season. And both of them have got what it takes to claim the first win for our team. They also know that it takes more than just a few fast laps. The drivers are leaders within the team and have a huge impact on the team spirit and the ongoing development of the car. Both of them are bringing this awareness into play, and I am very happy with the results so far.
Q: How did you fare with the standard electronics in the first two races of the season?
MT: There was the occasional hiccup, but that was down to the fact that the application had not yet been perfected and was unrelated to the basic software. There were no malfunctions that might have threatened to end the race or compromise driver safety.

Dog vs. human language
Name: Michelle Conte Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Why can't dogs talk like humans?
In very simple terms, they aren't made for it. In order to produce any kind of vocal sound, we not only need a set of vocal chords (or vibratory organs of some sort), we also need an air pipe and cranium shaped to deliver the vibrations in the right way -- you actually use your own head as a sort of sounding plate for several primary sounds (non-percussive) Dogs don't have the right shaped heads for the job, as well as the inability to vocalize many of the percussive sounds which make up a good percentage of our languages due to a differently shaped mouth. However, all things considered, we'd be ill-equipped to call meetings over long distances by simply howling, like dogs and their kin are wont to do in the wild.

Losing weight can give you momentous health benefits and that is why you should always be concerned about the amount of weight you gain and lose. The problem, however, is that some people are not very sure about how they can keep their body weight in check.

There are very many sources of information on topics related to weight loss and staying fit that you can rely on. If you're looking for in depth info on garcinia cambogia then visit here.
One of such sources is Dr. Oz's television station. This station has helped thousands of people to lose weight through viable super fruit diet plans.

The importance of using Doctor Oz's super fruit diet is that it will save you the money and time you will spend going for other weight loss methods such as fitness instructors and so on. It is also a better way of avoiding risky weight loss procedures such as surgery, which is also very costly.
With Doctor Oz, you just need to ensure that your meals comprise of a special diet comprising of acai berry, African mango, green coffee extract, raspberry ketone, and other weight loss fruits. This diet will enable you to dispose of the unwanted fats in a very short period of time. But what is so special about this super fruit diet?

Two years ago, I was privileged to attend a veterans event that gave me chills, goose bumps, and a lump in my throat, as it did for most every guest.
This Tuesday evening, you will be able to experience a similar feeling, thanks to a heartwarming documentary that wonderfully captured that scene and others like it. The film is coming to this region for a one-night only showing.
Back in 2011, at Chicago Midway International Airport, I watched curious Cub Scouts, girls with flowers, and older loved ones with promised kisses wait patiently with tiny American flags.
I watched gray-haired military veterans wait in decorated vests as leathery as their weathered skin alongside hundreds of others to create a patriotic flash mob.
Proudly sporting red, white and blue hats, shirts and props, they held handmade posters: "Welcome Home!" "Thank You!" and "We Love Grandpa!" They converged to welcome home heroes from a bygone era but obviously not from a forgotten conflict, World War II.
The crowd came to give belated gratitude to local WWII vets who took part in Honor Flight Chicago, a day-long excursion to Washington D.C. The national program was founded in 2008 to recognize WWII vets with a day of honor, remembrance and celebration from a proud and grateful nation.
The flights escort WWII vets, average age 88, to the nation's capital for long awaited visits to the World War II Memorial, as well as other war memorials. The flight's all-expenses-paid mission is to show those vets that America has not forgotten their service and sacrifices, even 65 years later.
Most of these vets stuffed their memories, experiences, and painful struggles from that war into their duffel bag and never talked about them again. But now the documentary, "Honor Flight: One Last Mission," takes a gentle peek inside those decades-old duffel bags to reveal one amazing story after another.
"They never got the welcome home that they deserved," the film's narrator explains.
"Honor Flight" profiles four World War II veterans and a Midwest community that comes together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Roughly 1,000 WW II vets die every day, so just getting them on any Honor Flight in time is a constant battle.
The film was created by Freethink Media, a production company devoted to telling stories about freedom, human well-being and achievement. This movie illustrates that with flying colors and the star-spangled colors of freedom in this country.
"The film features Orville Lemke, a former plumber and beloved father of nine who fights to hold off terminal cancer so he can make the trip, and Julian Plaster, an 89-year-old poet who has survived almost all of his friends and family," the film's website states.
"Honor Flight also chronicles the stories of veterans Joe Demler and Harvey Kurz. They raise money for and promote the Honor Flight program to help fly as many of their fellow veterans as possible," the site states.
Demler was famously pictured in Life magazine as "the Human Skeleton" upon his liberation from a German POW camp. Days from death, he weighed just 70 pounds.
His comedic sidekick in the movie, Kurz, saw the iconic flag go up at the Battle of Iwo Jima, unbeknownst to the shoppers he bags groceries for at his local Pick n' Save.
"We have an urgent task to connect with as many of the veterans and get them their day of honor before they pass away," said volunteer Pete Stenberg, a Northwest Indiana photographer who is presenting the film's premier in this region.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, the film will be played at the AMC Showplace Schererville movie theater, and you're invited to attend. If you are a vet, or know a vet, even better. It should be a magical night.
"I have already talked to an Army and Navy recruiter about coming to the theatre in full uniform to honor the vets," Stenberg said. "And also to police, firefighters, bagpipers, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Patriot Guard to see who can participate that night."
The film will be shown only once at the AMC Showplace Schererville, and all WWII veterans will get free admission.
"Lake Hills Volunteer Fire Department has purchased 30 tickets for us to distribute to any World War II vets who can attend," Stenberg said.
Tickets are $11 and can be purchased online at www.tugg.com/events/3499 or by contacting Stenberg at 558-0042 or via email at email@example.com. Tickets cannot be purchased through the AMC Theatre, Stenberg noted.
For more info on the film, including a poignant trailer, visit honorflightthemovie.com.
"Myself and other volunteers are feverishly working to get the word out to the public about the importance and urgency of Honor Flight Chicago. Our mission is to bring our World War II veterans to visit their memorial in Washington, D.C., at no cost to them."
Several local WWII vets have taken part in the program, including 85-year-old Gil Hancock, a U.S. Air Force plane mechanic from DeMotte who was nominated by his daughter, Laurie Clippert.
In 2011 at Midway Airport, the Munster woman joined her mother, Rose Hancock, her husband, Steve, and their two children to welcome home her father.
"I'm just grateful to be a part of this," Gil told me before he left for Washington.
At 8:55 p.m. that night, a color guard of grizzly vets marched through the crowd parading American flags of various sizes. The crowd buzzed in anticipation, as if awaiting celebrity rock stars.
At 9:06 p.m., a volunteer strolled through the crowd holding a large sign stating, "PLANE HAS LANDED." The crowd erupted into cheers.
At 9:21 p.m., the sound of bagpipes could be heard in the distance playing a collection of patriotic military songs. The crowd joined in to sing "God Bless America."
Soon after, the elevator doors opened and the first wave of WWII vets invaded the baggage claim area, most being pushed in wheelchairs by young female sailors.
"Here they come!" a volunteer yelled.
Gil looked around him at all the fuss and said, "This is one of the greatest days of my life."
In the award-winning film, this very reaction was echoed and amplified by every vet who flew on the Honor Flight. The next best thing to seeing this scenario in person is to watch this movie. You won't be disappointed. It poignantly embodies the true spirit of our country.

Old nuclear test site
this wiki
Redirected from Old Nuclear Test Site
Old nuclear test site | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I'm so done being confined in this human body. So, today I moved in to the shack at the abandoned test site. There should be enough radiation there to turn me into a ghoul. All around me this world is bleak and dreadful; is it so wrong to want a body to match it?
"— TrashThe old nuclear test site is a location in the Mojave Wasteland.
The old nuclear test site is a highly radioactive area of the desert inhabited by feral ghoul reavers and glowing ones. Feral ghouls also wander the surrounding hills.
Although the site is mostly fenced off and inaccessible, the nuclear test shack in the compound can be entered. On a nearby hill to the northwest is a sandbagged observation area with chairs and five pairs of authority glasses.
Notable lootEdit
- The two rescued Powder Gangers from the quest Booted will travel here and come to a stop at the area just in front of the nuclear test shack, where they will most likely be killed by the many high-level feral ghouls. If the ghouls are cleared out beforehand, the two prisoners will stand around in the area until the ghouls respawn.
- The center of radiation is not the crater, but is located closer to the shack, and tops to around 9 rads a second near the shack's door.
- Arcade Gannon will have some comments about the site when first brought to the area.
- Arcade's comments about the area claim that the test site was a nuclear waste dumping ground, which means that either Arcade's source of information was incorrect, or the test site was a dumping ground before nuclear bombs were tested here.[1]
The old nuclear test site appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
- ↑ Nuclear waste disposal. Pre-War, people figured there was so much desert in Nevada, you might as well turn it into a big dumping ground. - VFSArcadeGannon.txt

HELLO fellow pinteresters! I am amazed at how many hits this one page gets every day! I'm so glad that my little project could inspire or at least intrigue so many! Just wanted to let you know that I have now created an ETSY of my other creations. Feel free to stop by and take a look! Again, thank you for stopping by, I LOVE DIY! Maybe I should post more projects :)
I was at Walmart today and found these candle stands. I immediately thought "ooooh, cake plate!"
It's true.
So I bought
ended up finding 4 plates! They were just so pretty and lovely and sooooo Ashley.
Next stop. Michael's to find that super duper strong glue. I found the tube, whipped out my phone with the Michael's app coupon pulled up and got it for a discount (around $2). Score.
Deciding which plate to go on which candle stand took 5 minutes because of the varying heights of the candle holders. The whole which plate looks best with which height dilemma. Typical right?
Next, get the glue ready.
Clean off plates and candle holders. Turn plates upside down. Apply thin strip of glue along the edges of the candle holder and press into the center of the plate. I went along the edges in various spots where the candle and plate met to give it extra support. Let sit for 24-72 hours before using.
Daring, are we? |
Whole project was under $30. And we all know cake plates can go for almost $15-20 per, especially if they are big ones like the two big plated ones I have. Each of my cake plates would come to about $7 each. I just love mine! And the colors go perfectly with my color scheme in my humble abode :) Now, I know that if I ever want a cake plate... I will ALWAYS remember I could make one for a fraction of the price. Hmmm.. blessing or curse? haha

Hello everyone. I've been following this forum on and off for about a year now. My wife and I are moving out of the US for good and are planning on buying bedroom and living room furniture to take with us to our new apartment (furniture too expensive where we're going).
Shipping abroad means that store reputation is especially important because we won't have time to deal with refunds or exchanges (we need to maximize the likelihood of getting right the first time). It also means that warranty periods will be of little value to us, because they will become void once we move overseas. This forum has a lot of info on quality of manufacturers relative to each other (i.e. good, bad, this is better, etc.), but I haven't been able to tie this info with our budget. We have a budget of $6000 for the bedroom and $6500 for the living room. Our main questions that we're struggling with now are: 1- what good brands can we afford based on this budget?
FYI, for the bedroom, we're targeting the following pieces:
For the living room, we hope to buy:
Our style is not contemporary, but more like "transitional." For example, in bedrooms, we liked the thomasville king street collection, or the stanley louis louis sleigh bed. Don't think we can afford those, but just to give you an idea. Your thoughts on the above 2 points of concern are very appreciated. Thanks. p.s. I have a separate budget for the mattress. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Their are some manufacturers that provide a international warranty, so try and look for those. When shopping in NC their are freight forwarding firms that can help you with shipping. |

I'm apologizing in advance for the dumb question. I'm a novice.
I did the Wordpress quick install, and the first time set it up under /index. Then, decided I wanted to have it point to a sub-folder off my main site, so under "manage installations" i deleted that one and re-installed under /blog.
Changing my mind again (woman's prerogative and all), I deleted that one as well, and tried to re-install a third time with the wordpress site as my homepage. However, now, when I try to set it up with no extension (or a /index) extension, it will not allow me, because it says the /index page already exists.
When I got mysite/index, i get the /index of /index page.
How do I delete this so that I can re-install wordpress to direct there?
