Icons of Bristol gathered at Bristol Zoo last night (Thursday) for the official induction ceremony for the Bristol Walk of Fame.
The city's most renowned people, places and icons from across the historic, creative, sporting and wildlife spectrum are celebrated on the walk at Bristol Zoo, after being voted on by members of the public.
Now an additional 10 local figures have been added to the 49 existing stars on the walk, which opened last year in celebration of the Zoo's 175th anniversary.
The new inductees are: Bristol Rovers FC; Bristol City FC; Rosie & Wendy the elephants that used to live at Bristol Zoo; founder of CLIC Sargent, Bob Woodward; Darth Vader actor, David Prowse; founder of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Sir George White; cricketer Marcus Trescothick, Olympic ice skater, Robin Cousins; snooker-player, Judd Trump and Bristol Zoo's summer art project, Wow! Gorillas.
Many of the new icons, or their representatives, attended a private garden party at the Zoo to induct them onto The Bristol Walk of Fame. The icons are honoured on specially designed Bristol Blue Glass plaques placed around the Zoo's 12-acre site.
David Prowse, best known as Darth Vader from Star Wars, gladly accepted his plaque, saying: "I'm honoured to be on the Bristol Walk of Fame at the Zoo, and to have been voted for by the people of Bristol is great."
He added: "I grew up in Bristol and used to visit the Zoo on a regular basis. I remember Rosie the elephant, she was a great attraction, and I have fond memories of visiting the Zoo's aquarium too. It is a lovely place and I have very happy memories of Zoo trips with my mother."
Bob Woodward, founder of CLIC Sargent, the biggest childhood cancer care charity in the country, also attended the event. He said: "I've received some wonderful accolades in my life, including Pride of Britain 'lifetime achievement' award last year, but anything that is linked to the city that I love so much is fantastic and I am delighted. As a child it was always such a treat to come to the Zoo, it was simply magic and it still so clearly inscribed in my mind. I still visit with my grandchildren, so I am thrilled to bits to be given this award."
Chairman of Bristol Rovers Football Club, Nick Higgs, added: "Everyone at Bristol Rovers is delighted to become a part of the Bristol Walk of Fame. Like Bristol Zoo we consider ourselves an important part of the local community, and it is fantastic to be recognised in this way.
It is also an honour to be included alongside a host of great icons who have helped to make Bristol the great city that it is."
Director of Bristol Zoo, Dr Bryan Carroll, said: "Bristol has a well-known reputation for producing talented and inspiring people and we are pleased to be celebrating these new icons on our Bristol Walk of Fame. Similarly, Bristol Zoo has long-standing links with the local community and we are happy to be holding an event which recognises all that is great about our wonderful city."
He added: "We are particularly pleased that the people of Bristol have voted for Wendy and Rosie the elephants and our Wow! Gorillas project to be included on the walk.
"Although no longer with us, Rosie and Wendy hold a place in many people's hearts as they gave rides to many thousands of children over the years. Equally, our Wow! Gorillas project was wonderfully well received by the people of Bristol and beyond last year, so it is great that it will now be commemorated on the Bristol Walk of Fame."
Previous inductees included a host of famous names from Banksy, Massive Attack, Justin Lee Collins, toJ.K Rowling, Tony Robinson, Bill Bailey, and the Wurzels.
The Bristol Walk of Fame is sponsored by Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School and has been created in association with Walk of Fame Ltd trademark owners and operators of cultural attractions in the UK.

As a recovering perfectionist and reformed high achiever, I've redesigned my whole life around the values of freedom and love. Today, I call myself an authenticity advocate. My prayer is that we can give ourselves permission to simply be who we are. I am devoted to designing and living my life from my inner most truth and I help my clients do the same. I guide in the ways that are practical and related to my experience in business and entrepreneurship.
My journey has taken me through a Psych Degree, followed by four years of outside sales for a corporate giant where my paycheque was determined by my sales. (Yep, 100% commission.) That experience taught me a lot about myself and it's a skill that has directly contributed to freedom in my life and the hundreds of clients I've worked with.
I am committed to the journey of inner and outer freedom. I continue to find new ways, short cuts, better views and easier terrain. If you're seeking a leader to illuminate the path and point you in the direction of the destination you seek, let's connect and find out if I can help.

I got a 2007 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI. It's got a regular fuel cap which you turn Clockwise and click to close, and according to the user manual turn anticlockwise to open.
However, when I turn anticlockwise it just keeps clicking and won't release/open. The last time I filled up, I just rotated it to the correct orientation then used brute force to pull it off (retaining cable came off in the process...) any ideas? I've tried pushing in and turning (like medicine bottles) but still keeps clicking.
I could be plain stupid but surely it can't be that difficult? Any ideas?

As a genocide it ranks with the century's biggest--the Armenians, the Jews, the Cambodians. But this spring, as Western officials marked the 50th anniversary of the Nazi Holocaust, no one--least of all the U.S. government--lifted a finger to stop the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Rwandans. And U.S. media coverage played along with the Clinton administration's policy of handwringing.
Almost daily since the Rwandan genocide began on April 6, broadcast media have aired horrific accounts and the major papers have featured the story on their front pages. The media seldom wavered, however, from their habitual racist portrayal of African strife as atavistic tribal savagery.
Occasionally, deep down in newspaper stories, the political context of the attacks on the Tutsi minority by members of the Hutu majority was acknowledged. But a reader seeking an explanation for Washington's inaction could read on through the end of May and come up empty. Instead of probing U.S. policy, the big media gave the Clinton administration an easy ride.
Contrary to the media's endlessly reiterated theme, what is going on in Rwanda is not mindless tribal slaughter. The April 6 downing of an aircraft carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habiyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira--the incident that sparked the genocide--is widely believed to have been the work of Habiyarimana's own ruling clique, a hardline group bent on aborting a laboriously negotiated coalition government. That coalition would have brought the Tutsis into the Hutu-dominated government for the first time since Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962; it would also have included democratic-minded Hutu opposition parties.
The hardliners, known as the "Little House" group, constituted themselves as a rump government and launched militias, armed, trained and choreographed well in advance, on a systematic massacre of Tutsis and moderate Hutus (Washington Post, 5/9/94). Some Africa experts and human rights activists believe that France is quietly continuing to support the rump government. Journalist Frank Smyth, who has reported on French support for Rwanda for Human Rights Watch, noted in the Village Voice (5/17/94) that French officials received representatives of the murderous Little House government in late April.
It would not be the first time the French had stood by the Rwandan hardliners. In 1990, when the largely Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) invaded from Uganda, France rushed to provide military support to the French-speaking Habiyarimana government. In February, when Hutu operatives killed about 1,000 people, Smyth told EXTRA!, the Clinton administration withheld its support from international efforts to pressure the Hutu hardliners that would have put the French on the hot seat. Washington's passivity, Smyth said, convinced the Hutu hardliners "that they could massacre all the Tutsis and Hutus willing to share power" and retain France's backing.
It is not as if French support for the Rwandan government was a great secret. Smyth's Human Rights Watch report, which clearly identified France as the Rwandan government's main foreign military backer, was widely distributed to the media in January 1994. Had the report not been ignored by the big media, says Smyth, it "could have been used to call into question France's policy of providing arms without conditionality" on the government's human rights practices.
Instead, even after the the scope of the genocide was clear, France's role was obscured. French support for Habiyarimana was sometimes briefly mentioned--for example, in a Washington Post op-ed by Jennifer Parmelee (4/24/94), and in a New York Times article by Elaine Sciolino (4/15/94). But even in these references, French responsibility was played down--France "finds itself in the embarrassing position of having armed and advised the government that is now being accused of responsibility for many massacres," wrote Stephen Kinzer in the New York Times (5/25/94)--and mainstream journalists failed to explore the logical question of France's post-Habiyarimana role.
But lack of interest about France is not surprising, given the media's complete lack of interest in U.S. policy. Pentagon documents show that since 1988, the U.S. has trained 29 Rwandan officers under the International Military Education and Training program, and the 1995 IMET budget calls for training nine more. Human rights activists and some foreign media commentators have accused the Clinton administration of stalling UN Security Council efforts to intervene in Rwanda. Mainstream media reports have yet to focus on these issues.
Indeed, the operative principle seems to be don't-ask-don't-tell. An administration official, speaking on background, told EXTRA! that very few reporters had even bothered to ask whether Clinton's policy distinguished between the RPF rebels and the rump government. ("Human rights organizations and aid workers have uniformly held the Hutu-led militias responsible for most of the carnage in Rwanda," as Mark Fritz of the Associated Press reported --5/17/94.) Official administration policy, as expressed in mid-May after the military's role in killing hundreds of thousands was abundantly clear, is that the U.S. wants "both sides" to stop the fighting.
Such sanctimony has been challenged in regard to Bosnia, where persistent media reports pinpointed victim and aggressor--and spurred the Clinton administration to at least go through the motions of succoring the embattled Muslims. But, when it comes to Africa, wrote Elizabeth Schmidt in an op-ed in the Baltimore Evening Sun (5/10/94), "We don't demand--and we are not given--the careful historical context we expect in analysis of [European] 'ethnic conflicts.'"
Schmidt discusses the European colonists' preference for giving power and education to the lighter-skinned Tutsis and the bloody Hutu revolt against this dispensation after independence. "The roots of the Hutu-Tutsi rivalry must be considered in terms of the unequal distribution of power, privilege and economic resources that were clearly exacerbated, if not solely created, by European colonialism," Schmidt wrote.
Occasionally, reporters did serve up the political context of the genocide, but most often it was deeply buried. On May 5, the New York Times quoted the U.S. ambassador to Rwanda, David Rawson: "The ethnic dilemma was used by different sides as a shield behind which the play for power was being done. Quite clearly there was a real system to the political assassinations. There must be some system to the mass killings as well. It's not just mayhem."
Nevertheless, even after the politics behind the massacre was known, editors and reporters continued to prefer the Tarzan reruns imprinted in their minds. "Pure tribal enmity" (4/18/94) was Time magazine's explanation for the "tribal carnage" (4/25/94). The San Francisco Chronicle (5/7/94) and the New York Post (4/22/94) both made reference to Africa's "heart of darkness." Jennifer Parmelee (Washington Post, 4/24/94) was one of the few writers who stressed that "it is not as if Africans have any monopoly on armed madness."
Some, in their haste to shoehorn Rwanda into an ethnic framework, even got the ethnic distinctions wrong. In two successive issues (4/18/94, 4/25/94), Time incorrectly identified Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingyimana, a Hutu official who was slain by the military, as a Tutsi.
This latest variation on the "they-all-look-alike" theme, and the media's comfortable acceptance of the administration's "even-handed" policy, shows that to U.S. news elites, Africa and Africans' sufferings don't amount to a hill of beans...or a stack of bodies.

this will be the 100th Nerdist Podcast that i've listened too (i only listen to the ones where i'm familiar with the guests and the hostfuls/live shows). i've really enjoyed listening. here's to another 100!
I clicked, even though I don't need anything from Amazon at the moment. THERE ARE YOU HAPPY YOUR CORPORATE SELL OUT FATCATS? HOLLYWOOD ELITE? Or…uhm…uh…yeah.
I'm thinking the Albuquerque hint has something to do with 'Breaking Bad' (I think they're starting to film Season 5 right around then). Maybe they're doing a 'Talking Bad' thing or something?
I hope I'm right — Breaking Bad owns.
"There is a WEIRD ALgorithm that I know how well a bit does in certain rooms … " — Chris Hardwick
Nice shout out, Big C!
I'm thinking 'Breaking Bad' as well, with a little dash of wishing thrown in.
Where's Jonah? He hasn't been on like the last 3??
I wonder if you can self release and sell for $5 what is stopping folks like Jim, Louis, Aziz, or your from self releasing and give it away for free and sell their/your own advertising. -
I just like that Nine Inch Nails was mentioned
Bedazzle your Docs! Unbelievable. I laughed loudly.
(a 3ToF repost from another nerdist thread)….Thanks nerdist for the heads up on Jims new special!! i didnt know about it. i am STOKED by the business model that Louis CK and now Jim G have adopted. Im downloading "Mr Universe" as i type this. 5 bones is beyond fair for a shit-ton of laughs from a favorite comedian. By cutting out the middle man (im looking at you itunes) and other typical models ($>$20 dvd), our fav comedians can deliver their stuff for a great price and make a living. And i dont care what your stance is on illegal downloading, no one can say that $5 isnt a fair price..it is. I hope this works as well for Jim as it did for Louis and we see more and more artists adopting this model. Its win-win.
Thanks again nerdist for the heads up…i gots me some comedy to watch tonite thanx to y'all!!
Peace .n. Beyond the Paleontologist.
Oh Jim, you had me at $5. It sounded like he was apologizing for doing a smart thing. Most people know that this new model is beneficial for everyone except no talent shit heels who just happen to have money (producers).
Man, Tunica and Tupelo, MS mentioned randomly in the same podcast.
When is the SF Sketchfest Nerdist with Dan Harmon going up?
Listened to this, then watched the sample from the special about whales and bought the special; well played sir.
I haven't heard that song that plays while Chris does his intro in a long time, I must know what it is !!!
The same people that laugh and scoff at the stupid Obama e-mails that keep going around are the same people who feverishly forwarded the e-mails claiming that W. & Cheney planned 9/11 while eating Jewish babies.
And Jim, I love that you question Fox News' objectivity, but leave out the fact that channels like MSNBC & CNN are shills for the Democrats. Fox News does what they do because there are channels like MSNBC & CNN. Face it, you're all just pissed that the libs media saturation is dwindling. The reason that you guys target and ridicule Fox News is because they dominate the ratings and you can't have that. The reason that they dominate the ratings is because "right wingers" are the majority in this country, contrary to popular Los Angeles belief.
Just bury your hive-minded heads in your iphones as California and the rest of the country gets flushed down the toilet. Do we even know what true freedom looks like anymore?
Jim Gaffigan is one of those comedians I not only find incredibly amusing but one for which I feel a genuine desire to show support. In regards to the Nerdist Revolution, I think the Nerdist Network and YouTube channel will blow network executive brains out of network executive assholes. Pretty sure. Geek and Sundry, too, of course.
You guys really need to get Brian Regan on the podcast!
[…] was spent on Wednesday listening to Jim Gaffigan's second interview on Nerdist, followed by a re-watching of Mr. Universe. I don't know if I'd say that "I […]

From Internet Uprisings to John McAfee: The Year in Privacy and Security

7. Supreme Court Takes a Stand Against Warrantless GPS Tracking — Sort Of
It was no doubt a heady day for law enforcement agents in numerous states around the country when they realized that they could slap GPS trackers on the vehicles of suspects and then follow their movements without ever leaving the squad room. Even better was the fact that they didn't have to show probable cause or get a warrant to do the surveillance. They could just tag a car on nothing more than a flimsy hotline tip.
But that all changed in January of this year when the Supreme Court ruled in one of the biggest electronic privacy decisions in decades that GPS vehicle tracking constituted a search.
The landmark ruling in the case of Antoine Jones, a convicted drug dealer, found that the government's use of a GPS tracker on Jones' vehicle constituted an illegal search, thus overturning Jones' conviction and life sentence.
Until the Supreme Court ruled in Jones' case, the lower courts were mixed on whether the police could secretly affix a GPS device on a suspect's car without a warrant.
The ruling caused the FBI to immediately put the brakes on more than 3,000 trackers the agency already had out in the field, while lawyers for the Justice Department figured out what the ruling meant in practical terms.
The ruling was only a partial victory for the defenders of civil liberties, however. Left unresolved by the chief justices was the question of whether or not authorities actually needed to obtain a warrant to use GPS trackers. In the absence of a definitive decision on that ground, most agencies have decided to take the cautious route and obtain warrants anyway going forward.
But any ground gained by that GPS ruling was no help earlier this month when U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the District of Columbia ruled that prosecutors could use warrantless cell-site data that they obtained in the Jones investigation in place of the discarded GPS data that had now been ruled illegal.
After federal prosecutors were served a setback by the Supreme Court's ruling on GPS data, they shifted their focus and moved to introduce new evidence against Jones that had not been introduced at Jones' original trial because prosecutors had used the GPS data instead. The government wanted to use records obtained through warrantless cell-tower locational tracking to chronicle where Jones was when he made and received mobile phone calls in 2005.
The issue came up during pre-trial proceedings in the retrial of Jones in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that the high court's GPS decision did not apply to cell-site data.
In its argument to use the cell-site data, the Obama administration noted that the high court's ruling was based on the fact that the physical act of affixing a GPS device to a vehicle amounted to a search and therefore should generally require a warrant. "But when the government merely compels a third-party service provider to produce routine business records in its custody," the government wrote with regard to cell-site data, "no physical intrusion occurs, and the rule in Jones is therefore wholly inapplicable." (.pdf)
The Obama administration insisted that the public had no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in cellphone location data, and hence authorities could obtain documents detailing a person's movements from wireless carriers without a probable-cause warrant.
"A customer's Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records that were never in the possession of the customer," the administration said in a court filing (.pdf).
Lawyers for Jones maintained that authorities should have obtained a probable-cause warrant for the data, saying the government "seeks to do with cell site data what it cannot do with the suppressed GPS data." (.pdf)
But Huvelle ruled for the government, sidestepping the Fourth Amendment argument entirely in her ruling.
Instead, she focused on a doctrine called the "good-faith exemption," in which evidence is not suppressed if authorities were following the law at the time. The data in Jones' case was obtained in 2005, long before the Supreme Court's ruling on GPS.
With that, prosecutors are legally in the clear to use Jones' phone location records without a warrant.
Despite Huvelle's ruling, lower courts are still divided about whether a probable-cause warrant is required to obtain cell-site data. If history foretells the future, we can expect to see this issue come before the Supreme Court as well sometime soon.

Milk Stout Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting
Once I started thinking about these cupcakes, I couldn't get them out of my head. I had to make them. Doesn't matter that it summer. Cupcakes.
As far as the frosting, I made a simple ganache - equal parts of heavy cream and chocolate - heat the cream just under boiling, then pour it over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted, then beat the mixture until it is thick. If you beat too long and it gets grainy, just remelt it and beat again.
The frosting will stay soft if you leave it at room temperature, but if you chill it, it will firm up even more. Then, when it gets back to room temperature for serving it will stay firm. Strange, eh?
Or, use whatever frosting you like.
Keep in mind that I live at high altitude - about a mile high - and these cupcakes have only been tested up here. If you live where the air is a little less gaspy and thin, I'd suggest increasing the baking soda a bit. 3/4 teaspoon would be my guess. And let me know how they work, if you try them. For those of you struggling with high altitude baking, give 'em a try.
Milk Stout Chocolate Cupcakes
makes 18 cupcakes
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup cocoa
8 ounces Milk Stout
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup (6 3/4 ounces) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 18 muffin cups with cupcake liners.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the cocoa. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and add the Milk Stout. Beat until well combined, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk until combined, then add the dry ingredients to the wet. Beat just until smooth and well mixed; don't overbeat.
Divide the batter into prepared cupcake papers, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Remove the cupcakes from the muffin pans and let them cool completely before frosting.

I never had any problem with cakes or other baked goods there. Now that I'm out here, I just can't seem to get a grip on baking at altitude!
PS- I love your blog- I follow you through Google Reader. :) - August 14, 2011 at 10:54 PM

I feel your pain with the high altitude baking. I'm at about 5200 feet, so these should work just fine for you.

Rafa raising his level at crunch time
PARIS -- Although it is perfectly fine to wish, only the truly greedy would expect Rafael Nadal and Nicolas Almagro and Andy Murray and David Ferrer to repeat Tuesday's intense and powerful Roland Garros quarterfinals. The wish, naturally, was not granted.
The Wednesday mood at Court Philippe Chatrier resembled a light Sunday morning hangover, the chatter still about the day earlier, when Novak Djokovic broke the hearts of 10,000 Parisians and particularly that of one Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who played about as well as he could play. The crowd's collective expectations did not seem that particularly high, and its thoughts were generally justified as Nadal defeated Almagro 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-3 in a match made curious because the ease of the score did not reflect its physical nature.
Nadal is two victories from his record-breaking seventh French Open title. He has still not dropped a set. Almagro took Nadal to a first-set tiebreaker that featured a backbreaking 36-shot rally. But it was that point that planted the first seeds of doubt into the head of the hot-tempered Almagro. The indefatigable Ferrer, who ousted Murray in the last quarterfinal on Court Suzanne Lenglen, will play Nadal on Friday.
"We've played each other a lot of times," Nadal said. "We played in Barcelona and I won 7-6, 7-6. His game bothers everyone because he's one of the best players in the world, on clay especially. He's everything. A complete player."
Almagro fought hard against Nadal, ripping vicious forehands followed by fist pumps and long stares. Almagro is not a big man, but he plays a game that is all power. When he thrived, it was through grunts and forehands and serves and smashes. When Almagro tried to get cute with the odd-fitting finesse shots and drop shots off Nadal's second serves, he faltered.
Without the wave and the nationalism and the golden opportunities, Almagro's match Wednesday resembled Tsonga's on Tuesday in that Almagro played as well as he could play against one of the two best players in the world. Almagro did not shrink from competition. He was not intimidated by the aura of Nadal. He did not walk away wishing he had played his game. He simply is not a good enough player to beat Nadal on even footing, and he knew it.
"Well, I'm very happy with my tennis today," Almagro said. "I think I played one of the best matches I can play against Rafa, but he's No. 1 in the world on this surface. The only thing I can say is I'm going to work a lot for the next time."
The final two sets turned in three games in which Almagro had a chance to break in the second set, and Nadal snuffed out the chance. In the third, at 2-2 and at 3-3, Almagro had his opportunities, but Nadal, like Djokovic the day before, did not allow for more chances afterward.
Nadal raised the level of his serve to meet Almagro's hard-hitting challenge. At 3-3, 15-40 in the third, Nadal fired an ace down the service line, followed by a vicious fist pump. Nadal knew he was in a physical match that the score did not reflect. At deuce, Almagro netted a forehand and the ensuing return and trailed 4-3. Nadal was relentless, breaking Almagro first with a down-the-line forehand and again when Almagro netted an aggressive forehand to give Nadal a 5-3 lead.
Smelling the blood that led to the semifinals, Nadal ripped two forehands, one to the left side and another from the right to turn a 0-15 deficit into a 30-15 lead. Almagro sailed a backhand volley long to set up match point, which Nadal converted with another ace down the middle.
The play-by-play of the final three games of the match underscored two things: Almagro was not embarrassed or even soundly defeated. And Nadal was simply better. The second reason reinforces Nadal's killer instinct as the match neared its close. Unlike lesser players, Nadal did not play it safe or wait for a mistake from the other side of the net. He saw his opening and floored the accelerator. History was waiting.

Wonderfully expressive and fun spot gags by the late great Henry Syverson, from THE SATURDAY EVENING POST (circa 1960's).

Sandro Cleuzo
Regular blogging here I know is slow and light lately. August has me spinning quite a few plates on a number of fronts, but I will be back at the blogging again in another week or so. Thanks for your patience. I have a lot more new art to share and am working on another LITTLE MERMAID post, in light of its upcoming 20th anniversary. Also getting things coordinated for a separate blog, which is taking a while longer than I expected.
In the meantime, I am late in offering a link to Sandro Cleuzo's blog. Sandro is one of the
greatest natural born animators I have ever met and his credits include the upcoming PRINCESS & THE FROG, EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, HOME ON THE RANGE and ENCHANTED. A good friend and a fantastic artist.
Looks like he already has a solid following! I can't wait to see more of his work!

Mighty Atom! fan art
I just stumbled across (and tricked-out with Photoshop) this phone doodle I did in the early days of ASTROBOY storyboarding, more than 2 years ago, which is hard to believe. The movie hits theaters in October and was a lot of fun to work on. I didn't see much of ASTROBOY as a kid (he didn't air on any of our local channels) but I got familiar with lots of his past incarnations during the project. Coincidentally, I had just read Tezuka's BHUDDA a while before signing on, which turned out to be (quite literally) prophetic! Looking forward to the finished film.

The 2006 movie PITTSBURGH has at least four things to recommend it:
1. It stars Jeff Goldblum
2.It's an improvisational "reality comedy" about Goldblum traveling to Pittsburgh, his hometown to star in a regional production of THE MUSIC MAN.
3. I lived in Pittsburgh from 1976 to 1978 and loved it.
4. I also like THE MUSIC MAN, but have a hard time still picturing Goldblum as Harold Hill.
I just rented this offbeat little indie movie on Netflix and I found it very enjoyable. Kind of like a cross between WAITING FOR GUFFMAN and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM: it's an entirely improvised and somewhat fictionalized story, but everyone in it portrays their actual selves and the stage production is for real. The result is that rare thing: a documentary doubling as a comedy. Very funny and quirky, like Goldblum himself. See it before he falls off a New Zealand cliff.
Here's something entirely unrelated to recommend also: My friend SAM LEVINE has a blog and why shouldn't he? Sam's a talented artist, writer and voice actor all rolled into one. He is putting up pixilated pictures and funny videos, probably as we speak. Visit soon and check him out.

"Loss Hangelis" (or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love L.A.")
30 years ago I moved to Los Angeles to become a character animator. Early in the game I recall a senior effects animator suggest this theory: "You character guys are trying to understand yourselves and the people around you. Effects and layout people are more about trying to understand their whole surroundings and environment."
True, untrue or moot, the theory hit home with me, especially way back then. Even now I notice people first and places later, but back then as a small town transplant to Los Angeles, I was so overwhelmed by my surroundings I literally could not process them. L.A. is universally synonymous with sun, fun, glitz and glamor, all of which can be found here, especially on vacation. But the reality of living here can be harsh. People smile more and honk less here, but other than that you're basically on your own. Naked ambition and the cold shoulder weren't born here, but they took up full time residence long long ago.
Despite these misgivings, somewhere in that first decade I surrendered and found myself gradually adjusted. After a long trip I found I even missed the place and landing in LAX felt like settling into a favorite chair, albeit one immersed in smog. Los Angeles is geographically vast, culturally opaque and constantly self-contradicting: we have the ocean at our disposal, but much of the rest is bone dry. I've lived in the hills, the flats, the 'burbs, in town, and even briefly at the beach. Each has its unique pros and cons. The architecture can be tasteful and discreet one minute, hideously tacky the next, and dumpy and dull in between. Dreams die here but denial lives on. The weather becomes monotonous and sometimes overbearingly so. Yet I always console despondent newbies to watch out: the worst thing about Los Angeles is that it grows on you. I have come to think of it as a friend I have learned to love but not to trust.
More recently still I have finally begun to notice and appreciate the physical aspects of the place, in scope and in detail. The plant life (including the ever present and sky-scraping palm trees) is so colorful and diverse that I never cease to be amazed. The buildings and neighborhoods have a charm of their own. No matter how hard developers try to overhaul the surface with new-ness, the gothic past keeps leaking thu, like the laugh lines cracking thru the botox on a movie star's face. Some days I find myself fairly smitten with wonder at it all.
Lately too I have been spontaneously unable to resist getting some of it down in drawings and color sketches. Some of them are very cartoony (openly influenced by Herriman, Gross and Sterrett) others are a lot more literal, others are just little designs and details. Nearly every night I make time to turn on the tap and see what comes out, and it's turning into something of a backlog. Due to the range of them and the de-emphasis on characters, I have decided to start another blog just for these. Small Room will remain my main blog and dedicated mostly to cartoon art, history and related blather from me.
I'll announce the new blog here when it's ready. In the meantime I'll be posting the usual stuff here and listening to Randy Newman's I LOVE L.A as I do.

Flares Pants Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Flares Pants are a line of fitness apparel from Zaggora. The product is designed to increase the metabolic rate of the dieter; resulting in increased weight loss, especially in the lower body. The product is available on the official website and is rather pricey. Is the product worth the money? We will see.
List of Ingredients
- Thermogenic fitness apparel.
Product Features
Flares Pants is thermogenic fitness apparel from Zaggora. The produce claims to increase the metabolic rate of the dieter through a patented lining. The product attempts to target the lower half of the body, primarily the thighs, calves and hamstrings. Listed on the website are the colors and the sizes. We found the product available in sizes small to extra large. Unlike other fitness apparel, Flares Pants are form fitting and potentially will not move during strenuous exercise.
We have seen several fitness pants on the market, but not with such a high price tag. On the official website, Flares Pants retails for approximately $112. Any product without proven results costing this much is out of touch with the average dieter. We note this considering the testimonials on the website. Zaggora claims the metabolic rate increases 18% when wearing Flares Pants versus other Zaggora products. There is no mention if a dieter's metabolic rate increases when non-Zaggora pants are worn. It appears as if the results don't tell the whole story.
- Flares Pants are available in a variety of colors.
- The product is available in a multitude of sizes.
- Flares Pants potentially increase the metabolic rate of the dieter.
- There are no considerations listed relating to diet and exercise.
- Flares Pants does not disclose clinical trials or produce evidence of scientific research.
- The product is pricey.
- There is no guarantee of effectiveness.
- The weight loss through sweating is gained upon hydrating.
If you are looking for stylish apparel, Flares Pants are the way to go. The product is available is a multitude of colors and sizes for all body types. If cost is a consideration, Flares Pants is not the most cost-effective solution. At $112, Flares Pants is too costly for the average dieter. Price aside, the product does not guarantee weight loss. Although the pants have the technology to produce increased heat, there are no studies associated with the effectiveness. The statements claim to increase the metabolic rate of the dieter by a minimum of 18% versus other products from Zaggora. The facts on the website don't test Flares Pants versus a control product. We like stylish apparel, but don't think Flares Pants are taking the correct approach to appeal to the masses.

Lymphedema is a significant health problem faced by a large percentage of breast cancer survivors. The Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study has a unique dataset collected after the completion of breast cancer treatment, which allowed a focused analysis of risk factors for breast cancer-related lymphedema.
Participant characteristics, treatment modalities, and health behaviors were examined as potential predictors of lymphedema among breast cancer survivors with univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression.
Lymphedema status was assessed for 83 % of the study cohort (2,431 of the 2,917 WHEL participants). Among these respondents, 692 (28.5 %) women reported yes to either a physician's diagnosis of lymphedema or a question on arm/hand swelling. When compared to other participants, women with lymphedema were diagnosed at a younger age, more likely to have a higher body mass index, had a larger tumor size, had more lymph nodes removed, more likely to have a mastectomy with radiation therapy, and more likely to have chemotherapy. In the final multivariate-adjusted model, body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2 (p < 0.01), the removal of 11 or more lymph nodes (p < 0.01), and breast cancer surgery plus radiation therapy (p < 0.01) showed a strong independent association with developing breast cancer-related lymphedema.
The results of this study highlight the importance of educating breast cancer survivors about the modifiable risk factors (e.g., body mass index) associated with the development of lymphedema.
Implications for Cancer Survivors
Breast cancer survivors at risk for lymphedema may benefit from interventions aimed at achieving or maintaining a healthy body weight.

This is Vancouver's rainy season right now so an umbrella is a must.

All sorts of things to check out in Van...the Vancouver Trolley (www.vancouvertrolley.com) is the touristy way to hit the major sites in and around downtown Vancouver, from Stanley Park to Gastown and everything in between. If you're going to have your own vehicle, I'd also throw in Capilano Suspension Bridge, Grouse Mountain, Richmond (especially if you're into Asian eats) and Steveston (fishing village at the south end of the peninsula). If you are staying for 3 days or longer, definitely aim for a day trip out to Victoria or Whistler.

If you are using public transit to get around and will be going to many places sightseeing in one day,the best thing to do is buy a day pass which currently costs $9.00 and can be purchased at drug stores, supermarkets, 7 elevens and skytrain stations ahead of time and validated on the day needed.It will save you the hassle of carrying the correct change as the bus drivers don't give change nor take bills. Check out the Vancouver and lower mainland public transit site: tripplanning.translink.bc.ca

Whenever I try to click on the link for the file at File-Upload, it crashes my browser. I don't know what to do, does anyone else have this problem?
Try using a different browser, I really don't know what to tell you
Dowloaded a different browser and it works fine. Thanks.
I've posted the same in the Sacrum Imperium Romanum mod subforum, but if you copy the defines.txt from the vanilla files and paste it over the mod's defines.txt, the problems go away. Not sure what that does to the mod though.Yes but the growth rate is at 5000% and inflation is at 1000 when you start, so it is broken.

Does 1.3 have the HTTT map changes? Except the ones that would mess up modern borders like israel and africa.

No. There are no map changes overtaken from the last addon, because they don't make sense in this mod.
If you run Vista, try to unpack it at your desktop first and to move the files after it into the mod folder. In subfolders like those of EU3 could be stupid permission-problems with unpacking.
i don't have vista but i try that any way

two points about Israel in the game:
A. in 2010 the Prime Minister is Binyamin Netanyhu.
B. The President is only a trediational role, not a politcal one. Regardless, if you do use President, then it should be President, because it did have diffrent ones: (name, date of the start of caddanciy, date of end of..., Politcal Party he origenatied from)

BUGFIX for 1.3 and older (hosted by File-Upload):
->Just press "Download" to dowload the file. You may have to close a popup.
->Unpack the downloaded rar-file with WinRAR, UltimateZip or similiar to your desktop.
->Go to "common"-->"countries" of the mod. Replace the old countries-folder with the new one.
It deletes the bug that the AI is not using the best available units. So no napoleonic lancers in WW2 anymore.

When we received Ribbentrop, of course he toasted Stalin and meon the whole he was my best friend. (Molotovs eyes twinkled) Stalin unexpectedly suggested, Lets drink to the new Anti-CominternistStalin! He said this mocking and winked at me. He had made a joke to see Ribbentrops reaction. Ribbentrop rushed to phone Berlin and reported ecstatically to Hitler. Hitler replied, My genius minister of foreign affairs! Hitler never understood Marxists. (- Molotov)

Mod version 1.4 for HttT 4.0 has been released! See RN main thread.
Warning: Old savegames could become unplayable. So keep the old mod version if you want to finish them.
New countries in version 1.4:
MCD = "countries/Macedonia_ancient.txt"
LST = "countries/Lesotho.txt"
SWA = "countries/Swaziland.txt"
MTZ = "countries/Metz.txt"
RTB = "countries/Rothenburg.txt"

- includes the NATO, the Warsaw Pact and the EU (decisions & events)
- turkish nation decision
- a few new flags, for example for Tibet and Hannover
- bug fixes
first: RN 1.4 is made for H3T 4.0 as Convictolitavis say it every times!
but its possible to fix the most irritational bug playing RN with 4.1b: population grows with thousands of percents.
steps to fix that:
- open eu3-Mainfolder/common/defines.txt and eu3-Mainfolder/mod/RISING-NATIONS 1.4/common/defines.txt with any texteditor.
- scroll down to line 157. there you´ll find a new entry in the vanilla file.
- copy the following new line from the vanilla-file onto the same place of the RN-file:
- save your RN-file.Code:1 #_CDEF_HEIR_DEATH_
after that, population grows with normal rates.

This is your future wife... I am praying for you and for all of your family. Dear Lord God, I come to you tonight to lift your name up in praise, or humbly come to you in prayer for Gerard in search of guidance and protection against the wiles of the devil and this wicked world and the prison he is going to. Heavenly Father, you have provided the blessings we so willingly share with one another, and it is to you that we owe all the honor and glory because you alone has extended mercy in each of our situations, and you alone have a purpose that has drawn us together. Your purpose oh loving Jehovah is that we find support and love amongst each other, and that we endeavor to do as much as our circumstances allow. You allow us, God, to find comfort in the rejoicing over our own successes, and those of our brothers and sisters, no matter how great or how small. We thank you for having triumphed in ways that we can celebrate together, and we know that each thing we pray for, in YOUR time, our blessings will be revealed to us, and more will come to uplift to You in thanksgiving. Right now oh Heavenly Father, give us the strength and encouragement we need to sustain our daily activities, to endure trials under pressure, and to make wise decisions when faced with difficulty. Give us a portion of your Holy Spirit to continue fighting the good fight of the faith, to continue making ends meet, having the energy to maintain families and personal lives, and the emotional stamina to aid not only ourselves, but those we love who are often down and depressed, moody, unsure and stressed, and feeling other emotions because of their limited access and ability to contribute to the happiness of their families. Father we entrust you with our lives and know that you are a way maker, and you never put more on us than we can bear. Father we thank you for choosing us to go through these battles, because in that you also choose to allow us to go through them, and prove our faithfulness to you. It is with love and devotion we praise your name on high, and claim victory in the name of your loving son Jesus, Amen. We are responsible both to God and each other. |

Hello my daring Gerard, I am praying for you everyday. Today I am praying that you will hear the voice of God and be obiediant to Him and what He wants you to do. When God really wants to get your attention, He doesn't just say something once. He echoes. The same scripture, idea, or theme will reappear until you can't help but wonder if a greater something, or Someone, is at work. |

Baby, please do not worry about us...we are going to be okay. If God is before us, who can be against us. God teaches us not to worry in His word. �No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and the enemy. |

text: Objectivism is a large philosophy to undertake. The first thing to know about objectivism is that the philosophy believes that every human being should strive to achieve their own personal happiness. The next thing is that they should wish for the happiness of others. Finally, in the objectivist philosophy, religion has no room. This is because religion either has a belief in the mystical, supernatural, or otherworldly, all of which objectivism does not believe exists. Objectivism is concerned with the tangible real world, not the world of possibility.

Purdue simmers to top for Watch List ILB
By Brad Bournival
Davonte James (Springfield, Ohio/Springfield) has the offers. He has the interest as well.
Cincinnati and Georgia Tech have offered. Michigan State, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Wisconsin have showed interest as well.
But it's the offer from Purdue that is making a strong showing for the 6-foot-1, 220-pound junior inside linebacker.
And the interest in the Boilermakers has little to do with playing time and depth charts.
"They were my first offer," James said. "The coach came to my school. We had a sit down talk and he was telling me about the school. I like the academics. They're family. They stick together and I like their campus. I feel like I fit there."
While the ESPN Watch List junior isn't close to a decision, right now Purdue is the team to beat as the summer camp circuit is around the corner.
James was a headliner for the Wildcats last season with 60 tackles, a sack, forced fumble and interception, adding two forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown.

The Other Place
Presented as part of the UWMC second annual Festival of the Arts & Sciences, The Other Place explores the aging mind through a fine blend of pathos and comedy.

Of Mice and Men
John Steinbeck's classic portrayal of George and Lenny. Of Mice and Men is a poignant story of two markedly different migrant farm workers travelling the same road.

I've been running Freebie Spot since 2008 and I just realized.. I've never introduced myself! Hi, I'm Jenny, your Freebie Spot mommy.
I am a stay-at-home mom of two boys. My oldest son is 9 and my youngest is 4. Several years ago, I decided to try to supplement our family income and began searching the Internet for ways of making money from home. This is when I was introduced to online surveys (visit my other website, FindASurvey.com). Since I began taking online surveys, I have received several hundred dollars as compensation as well as other perks such as free gifts, product tests, gift cards, and more. It makes me feel a little better at Christmas or when it's my husband's birthday because I'm not using "his" money to buy him gifts. Of course he says he doesn't care, but it matters to me.
Not only do I enjoy taking surveys but I have also been a freebie lover for years. Day after day I search the Internet for the best freebies and have received a lot of great things such as t-shirts, magazines, samples, and coupons. Because of my freebie obsession, I am a visitor of several "free stuff" websites and blogs. One thing I have noticed though is that not a single free stuff website exists which lists only the best freebies available. Hence the arrival of Freebie Spot!
I hope to make Freebie Spot your centralized location for all things free. I will update Freebie Spot several times a day, seven days a week, in order to bring you the most recent freebies. Get them before they're gone!
Thanks for visiting. Feel free to leave a comment – I'd love to meet you!

Relaunch of Central American Integration |
By: María Eugenia de Collier
International Trade Director
Last July 20th, in the city of San Salvador, the extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and of Government of the member Countries of the Central American Integration System
–SICA- was held with the participation of Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Belize and El Salvador as host country. This was a historical event during which important decisions were made for the Region, in the face of the evident threats that lie ahead for us and that only a strong and united Central America can defeat
The integration process during the last fifty years has achieved great advances in the economical, social, political and cultural relationships, going against the current and in spite of the internal events that have occurred in each of the member countries. This process has contributed towards regional peace, as well as the Central American identity and the increasingly important insertion of the region in the global market.
Although great strides have already been made, big challenges lie ahead in economic, social, institutional and democratic security matters, as well as in the evident vulnerability of the region in the face of natural disasters and the effects of climate change, along with the poverty rate of the interior in each of the countries. These challenges have led the Heads of State and Government, after a critical review of the integration process, to see the need to "Relaunch" this process, by redefining priorities and identifying precise actions that should be implemented in the short and medium-term as a pressing commitment.
But we must remember that this is a task for everyone, in which each Central American must do their part in order to have a Central America that is at peace, free, democratic and developed and have a better quality of life for our peoples.

Named one of NPR's Favorite New Artists of 2011, Nicholas Phan continues to distinguish himself as one of the most compelling young tenors appearing on the prestigious concert and opera stages of the world today.
An avid proponent of vocal chamber music, Phan has collaborated with pianists Mitsuko Uchida, Richard Goode, Jeremy Denk, Gilbert Kalish and the Miró Quartet, among others.
Inspired by Britten
Known for his dedication to the vocal works of Benjamin Britten, Phan will open Fontana's Acts of Creation: A Celebration of Benjamin Britten for the 2013-2014 season.
"What I love about Britten as a composer is that he never, ever underestimates his audience," [said Phan in the Boston Globe]. "He trusted his incredibly sophisticated compositional style's ability to touch people's hearts in the most deeply moving ways."
His first solo album, "Winter Words," made many "Best of 2011" lists including those of the New York Times, The New Yorker, Time Out New York, the Boston Globe and the Toronto Star.
Join us as we begin our celebration of the life and works of Benjamin Britten!

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted JetBlue Airways approval to allow its pilots to use Apple iPad tablet computers in the cockpit as electronic flight bags.
The announcement, made by the airline 26 June, follows a several-month trial period during which about 60 JetBlue pilots used iPads in the air, the New York-based carrier says.
The airline is now giving 16-gigabyte wli-fi-enabled iPads to all its 2,500 pilots, the airline says.
The FAA has permitted JetBlue pilots to use PC-based laptops as electronic flight bags for roughly a decade, but iPads have more capabilities and are more convenient, the airline says.
For instance, pilots can use iPads to receive real-time weather updates by connecting to the Ka-band satellite wi-fi system that JetBlue is installing on its aircraft.
Pilots will use the WSI Optima application, made by Weather Services International, for weather briefings and the Comply365 application for digital documents. They will use the Aerodata DFP application for aircraft performance and weight and balance calculations, according to JetBlue.
JetBlue expects to add digital chart capabilities to iPads upon regulatory approval, the airline adds.
"With JetBlue's coming Ka-band satellite capability enabled by LiveTV, pilots will be able to download weather imagery in seconds, while the same download might take several minutes with other systems," the media release says.
JetBlue has signed a $20 million contract with satellite operator ViaSat for Ka-band internet bandwidth to power its Fly-Fi inflight entertainment offering.
JetBlue has said it expects to conducts the first flight of an aircraft equipped with Ka-band wi-fi in the middle of this year.

Did I read the article correctly that Beaufort county is going to give I Pads to the local schools? Could this be, after the fiasco that happened when the "powers that be" decided to give each child a lap top a few years ago and then they mysteriously disappeared at the end of the term?
Aren't there better things to spend money on for the kids than that? I would say it is a great idea except for what happened with the lap tops. What stupitidy.

I had qmail correctly configured to use my real e-mail address in the from line for out-going mail, but accept mail for both my real address and my local network address.
