User-written Scripts
Dear script authors and those just learning:
The CHDK Forum has a dedicated Script Writing and uBASIC section. The forum's design and capabilities make it far easier to discuss and help with the sometimes confusing nature of scripts and uBASIC. You are strongly encouraged to post on that forum so that you can get assistance more rapidly and in a much more easy-to-follow discussion format. I hope you can join us there!
For beginners, there is a tutorial: TutorialScratchpad
Final scripts will still be added here as the main Scripts Archive. The above mentioned forum is only for those who would like some assistance or input from others with similar goals in mind.
→ See also the Scripting Cross Reference Page for the complete list of CHDK scripting commands for Lua and uBasic.
The scripts that are posted below were written by CHDK users, and are contributed as is.
Please note: since late summer of 2007 a number of special builds of CHDK have been developed with additional uBASIC commands and features. Thus, some of the scripts contributed recently may not run on all versions of CHDK.
Further, some of the recent scripts use the set_prop command. This directly modifies particular memory locations that store some camera settings. The Digic II and Digic III cameras apparently have different property number assignments. Currently (mid Nov, 2007) only the Digic II assignments have been determined an any detail. So, if you have a Digic III camera, be cautious in using any script that uses these commands.
Note to script authors and users. Try to make screenshots or post example pictures of your scripts in action.
Scripts recommended for use with Canon S5 IS and or Digic III processors
- Drivelapse script for recording a time lapse from a moving vehicle. Use this for road trips etc.
- Ultra Intervalometer (best script)
- Fast Motion detection (latest version)
- Countdown Intervalometer is an easy to use intervalometer script suitable for the casual user.
- Time lapse script variable shutter speed (prevents camera from taking underexposed shots during timelapse.)
- HDR time lapse (Starts at 300 as default for pictures. Easier to understand in some respects than the Ultra Intervalometer. Someone needs to find a way to combine the 1st and 2nd scripts' user features as the 1st script doesn't show what's going on, rather just shoots. The second script tells you delay for 10 seconds so at least you know you're still taking a shot)
- Multipurpose Motion (Sexy script. Could use for monitoring, or even photo shoots for banquets and such.)
- Zoom Shoot! Zoom takes a shot zooms in with one step takes another shot zooms in and so forth.
- Long Exposure Intervalometer (Its purpose is for NIGHT shots. Takes long exposure shots continuously for applications such as night time time-lapse or to take image stacking shots for astrophotography. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS SCRIPT. IT TAKES LONG EXPOSURES, SO DON'T PANIC WHEN YOUR SCREEN GOES BLANK FOR 15 SECONDS. IT'S TAKING A PICTURE.)
- Shutter Speed Stack (A variation on the above script.)
- Lightning script -- fudgey (Lightning script which captures quick successions of light bursts.)
Older Scripts (Use at own risk)
- Time Bandit 1.0 -- Arman Bohn This timelapse script creates a sequence of jpegs which can be turned into an a video on your PC.
- Make ANY Single-Shot Intervalometer into an HDR-Bracketing Script (valuable CHDK usage info, not a script)
- Unlimited Interval Shooting
- Ultra Intervalometer
- OMNI Intervalometer (Use in burst mode with new Tv-bracketing for HDR!) (does not work with Canon s5 IS)
- yet another accurate intervalometer
- A Simple Intervalometer (Added 9/28/07)
- A fast "intervalometer" (uses continual mode, so interval duration not under your control)
- My first intervalometer
- Simple bracketing+Intervalometer
- accurate intervalometer (Uses Fingalo's get_tick_count for timing)
- Long Exposure Intervalometer
- Time Lapse Photography -- Shoots continuously with an interval. Uses Fingalo's get_tick_count to make timing more accurate
- Increasing Intervals HDR Nightshot Script -- Shoots 7 images with shutter times getting longer each shot.
- Accurate Intervalometer with power-saving and pre-focus
- How to use CHDK + Custom-Timer settings for all manner of bracketing without a script. (see note at bottom)
- Focus Bracketing v1.1 (deprecated)
- Multipurpose Bracketing
- EV bracketing with TV and AV commands
- Focus Bracketing with set_focus and get_focus
- Fill-Flash Bracketing
- OMNI-Bracket
- Universal Bracketing
- an ultra fast HDR bracketing script for A6xx (5 bracketed pictures in 5 seconds !!!)
- symmetry EV bracketing
- G7 HDR Bracketing
- Bracketing and EV correction
- Simple Bracketing for A460
- Scene Bracketing
- Scene Bracketing(lua)
- Scripts for Canon A640 (New: now updated for the AllBest build)
- HDR with stacking
- HDR time lapse
- Zoom Shoot!
- Zoom-Video
- Tele-Macro-Mode
- Zoom_Series
- macro DOFstacker
- yet another DOF stacker (Best of the bunch for macro! IMHO)
- a property case value tester
- HDR for G7
- Multipurpose Motion Detection (Uses Fingalo's firmware)
- Universal motion detection (Uses Fingalo's firmware, A610)
- Shutter Speed Stack (AllBest build)
- Show which key has been pressed
- Motion detection with adaptive sensitivity
- Easy Zoom & MF while Video Recording
- Photo Rations
- Time Lapse Video Interval Time mod
- Led flashlight
Old / Obsolete
- Lightning Photography (Obsolete with CHDK Build #144 and later, see note on script page.)
- Tally-Torch (Funny but obsolete, see new LED commands.)
- Cable Release (Obsolete unless you need a mechanical trip, all new builds have USB remote!)
Other Resources / Archives
- Some more scripts that may not appear here at the Wikia archive. Due to the easier method of jointly discussing and working on scripts at the CHDK Forum some new scripts are showing up there that you may not find in any other places. For example: some newer and faster Lightning Photography /Motion Detection scripts have been added (among others).
- (Are there scripts archives from any other-language forums out there? Please share.)
- An interesting collection of unique scripts, written primarily for the SD1000/IXUS70 camera (DIGIC III), but can easily be converted to most all DIGIC II cameras by following the directions in the simple REM comments in them. Worth checking them out. They use some creative shortcuts that can be applied to your own scripts, or used as-is.
Information for contributors
Please add your debugged and tested scripts to this section. Reserve discussion and help for writing your script to the CHDK Forum: Script Writing (or the now rarely-used discussion section (tab above)). Final scripts will appear on this page.
- Scripts added here should include:
- Camera model that you wrote it on.
- Other camera models that it is known to work on.
- The CHDK build required to run it (if it's an extension beyond GrAnds builds).
- Any special instructions that may be required for running the script.
- Your script!
- Since some scripts require special instructions that might be too lengthy to write into the script itself with "print" statements, I think it would be a good idea to start a common practice of including a short but informative text-file with each script, that could be saved by the same filename. Using a .TXT extension so the file may be referred to as a help-file using CHDK's "File Reader".
- It has been found that some people are irresponsibly/foolishly sharing collections of scripts without the important accompanying documentation for each script. Try to include some extra info in the header of your script in the form of rem statements that might help the unfortunate people that might get hold of undocumented scripts. Beginning of script example:
rem Author: Your Alias/Name rem For S-Series ONLY! rem Requires Fingalo's build v 106 or later! rem Use with caution! Read documentation!
To post your own script to this main Scripts page:
- Click on the EDIT TAB at the top of the page (not the ones beside each entry).
- Scroll to the bottom of the list of scripts.
- Add new line
* [[uBASIC/Scripts: <<YOUR SCRIPT TITLE>>|<<YOUR SCRIPT TITLE>>]]
- to the list.
- Save changes.

Chair and Department Executive Officer
Welcome to the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Iowa! As the Department Chair, I am excited about our educational mission. We are a top psychiatry department nationally in clinical care and research, with rankings in these areas of 19th in U.S. News & World Report and 18th in National Institutes of Health research funding. We similarly believe we are a top department in the educational domain, as we are deeply committed to excellence in teaching. This commitment led us recently to expand our psychotherapy training and to introduce a new approach to teaching comprehensive clinical care.
Our faculty includes some of the world's most distinguished investigators whose presence contributes to a spirit of inquiry. For example, Nancy Andreasen, has made key contributions to our understanding of clinical features and brain structure changes in schizophrenia. And William Coryell has illuminated the long-term course of mood disorders. The research of these and other experts provides residents with the latest information about the causes and treatments for many mental disorders.
Residents have an opportunity to learn and ask questions of leaders in their field, including, geriatric psychiatrist Susan Schultz, for example, who is President-Elect of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry and deputy editor of the American Journal of Psychiatry. Other national leaders include Donald Black, an expert on anxiety and impulse control disorders, and President of the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists. Faculty members receive high marks for their teaching and for providing high quality patient care.
Teaching occurs through didactic courses and seminars, but also through informal interactions. I personally see a patient each week with our residents and discuss case formulation and management with them. A casual atmosphere encourages interaction between residents and faculty. Many residents have published the results of research projects or literature reviews under the supervision of a faculty member, an activity that provides another valuable educational experience.
Our goal is to provide residents with a broad education that will prepare them for life-long self-learning and dedication to the practice of psychiatry at the forefront of evolving knowledge. We seek to provide residents with a variety of educational experiences so that they may choose among the many available career options. Our residents consistently score high on national examinations and frequently receive national awards. One, Erik Vanderlip, was elected Member-in-Training Trustee of the American Psychiatric Association. Another, Obiora Onwuameze, won the Lilly Resident Research Award from the American Psychiatric Association. The success of former residents in both clinical practice and academic settings attests to their quality and to the effectiveness of our training program.
We welcome your interest in the department, and look forward to getting to know you and letting you know more about the terrific opportunities that exist here in Iowa City. Both the city and the department are wonderfully friendly places with a strong sense of community. Come have a look. You'll like what you find!

In Their Footsteps: Woman Suffrage Historic Sites In Washington, DC
The American woman suffrage movement is recognized as officially starting in 1848, at the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention in New York. At the conference, women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott wrote and signed a Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, outlining issues and goals of the emerging women's rights movement, such as increased education and employment opportunities, divorce and child custody laws, and the right to vote. The most radical and difficult goal to achieve turned out to be women's right to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment, allowing women to vote, did not pass until 1920.
Before the Fourteenth (1868) and Fifteenth (1870) Amendments passed, woman suffrage supporters joined with people who wanted suffrage for black men too in the American Equal Rights Association. After the Amendments passed enfranchising black men but not black or white women, the woman suffrage group split. Some women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed a radical group, National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), demanding the right to vote and tried various tactics to do so. Others like Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, formed the more moderate group American Woman Suffrage Association (AMSA), arguing that women's right to vote would improve society because women would vote for the most moral reforms.
In 1878, a Woman Suffrage Amendment was introduced in Congress, but it took until 1919 for it to pass in both the Senate and the House. Two years later in 1890, the NWSA and AWSA overcame their previous divisions, joining as the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), strengthening the movement.
In 1913, Alice Paul and Lucy Burns formed the Congressional Union, later called the National Women's Party (1916), and led women in forms of civil disobedience, such as picketing the White House and hunger strikes when they were jailed. Their actions garnered more public attention and support nation-wide for woman suffrage.
In the end, it took the efforts of a wide-range of women, from the most radical who wanted women and men to be equal in all aspects of public life, to women who wanted the right to vote so that they could better perform their perceived role as the moral reformers of society before women were enfranchised. In 1919, the Nineteenth Amendment passed in Congress, and in August 1920, the required thirty-six states had ratified it, and on August 26, 1920, the amendment officially passed. This tour of suffrage-related sites allows you to walk on the same ground where suffragists fought for the right to vote. It is our hope that you not only have a greater understanding of the struggles women went through to gain this basic right, but that you will be inspired to vote.
1. Frederick
Douglass National Historic Site

Cedar Hill was the home of antislavery and women's rights lecturer and activist Frederick Douglass (1817--1895) and his second wife Helen Pitts Douglass. They lived there from 1877 until Frederick's death in 1895. Helen bequeathed the house to the Frederick Douglas Memorial and Historical Association. Joining with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, the association opened the house to visitors in 1916. Inside the house is a virtual exhibit that features items owned by Frederick Douglass and highlights his achievements with the abolition and women's rights movements.
2a. Pennsylvania Ave
On March 3, 1913, charismatic and devoted women's suffrage leader Alice Paul (1885-1977) organized a massive suffrage parade down Pennsylvania Avenue the day before President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. Inez Milholland led the parade wearing a white cape, astride a white horse. Behind her stretched approximately 8,000 marchers, twenty-six floats, ten bands, four mounted brigades, three heralds, and six chariots. More than half a million people came to watch them, though some came to jeer and harass the marchers, leaving few people to greet president-elect Wilson when he arrived by train that same morning. Having been unable to convince President Wilson to pass a new woman suffrage amendment during his first term in office, the activists pursued different tactics during his second term.
2b. White House
Location: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Self-guided tours are available for groups of 10 or more: Tues - Sat: 7:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

After President Wilson's re-election in 1917, Alice Paul and other women's suffrage crusaders picketed outside of the White House for many months, protesting the disenfranchisement of women. These brave women were the first people ever to protest at the White House. America entered World War I during this time but this did not stop Paul and the others from protesting. Instead they carried banners asking how the United States could fight for democracy abroad when women did not enjoy it at home. People passing by often harassed them, and eventually the police warned the women that they would be arrested if they returned to picket. The women returned and were arrested or given fines. When they continued to return, they received harsher punishments, primarily sentenced to prison terms at the *Occoquan Workhouse. Conditions at Occoquan Workhouse included solitary confinement and forced feedings for women like Paul who went on hunger strikes to protest the prison conditions.

After President Wilson endorsed the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which stated, "The rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The Amendment passed in the House of Representatives on May 21, 1919, and then passed in the Senate two weeks later. Woman suffrage supporters then focused their efforts on a state-by-state campaign to achieve the required ratification of the amendment by thirty-six states. On August 24, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th amendment, when the youngest member in the Tennessee legislature, Harry Burn, voted in favor of woman suffrage at the urging of his mother. Two days later, the amendment officially passed.
Although these statues are not necessarily related to the suffrage movement, there are six statues of other women in Statuary Hall: Mother Joseph, Esther Hobart Morris, Jeannette Rankin, Dr. Florence Rena Sabin, Maria Sanford, and Frances Willard in this prestigious gallery.
Visitors to the Capitol can view the Suffrage Statue of Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton is on display in the Rotunda.
3. Sewall-Belmont House and Museum
Location: 144 Constitution Ave., NE
Open: Tues - Fri: 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., Sat: noon - 4 p.m. Tours are given on the hour and last approximately one hour

In 1929, the Sewall-Belmont House became the headquarters of the National Woman's Party (NWP) and the Washington home of its founder, the suffragist leader and author of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), Alice Paul. Over the 43 years that she lived here, Paul organized many campaigns for the ERA's passage. The house is now a museum with an outstanding collection of fine art and artifacts from the woman suffrage and equal rights movements including sculpture, portraits, political cartoons, historic photographs, suffrage banners and Susan B. Anthony's desk. The one hour tour includes a short video, Equal Rights Amendment: Unfinished Business for the Constitution.
4. Mary Church Terrell
Location: 326 T Street, NW (not open to the public)
Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) was a well-known and respected
educator, suffragist,
and civil rights activist. Terrell was the first African-American
to serve on the D.C. School Board (1895-1919). She was an active
member in the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA)
and co-founded the Federation of Afro-American Women within it
to address issues the mainstream suffrage movement was not. In
1897, Terrell became the president of one such group, the National
Association of Colored Women. In 1909 she increased her civil
rights activism by becoming one of the founders of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). At
the age of ninety, she also led a successful drive to end segregation
at public places in Washington, D.C. through sit-ins, boycotts
and picketing.

being barred from voting for the first 133 years the United States
Constitution was in place, women are now active in the legislative
and judicial branches of the United States government.
Women's role in the judiciary branch started when a schoolteacher from New York, Belva Ann Lockwood (1830-1917), became the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court. Her first political actions were to campaign for equal pay for women teachers, join the American Woman Suffrage Association, and persuade Congress to pass its 1872 bill guaranteeing female government employees equal pay for equal work. Lockwood then joined the Equal Rights Party, and she studied at the District of Columbia Law School. After obtaining her degree, she was barred from practicing law in the Court of Claims and the United States Supreme Court. In 1876, Lockwood drafted a bill to permit women to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. After three years, Congress finally passed the bill and in 1879, Lockwood became the first woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court. Now women not only argue cases as lawyers, but since 1981, have served as Supreme Court Justices. Ruth Bader-Ginsburg is currently a Supreme Court Justice and the first female justice, Sandra Day O'Connor, announced her retirement from the bench in July 2005.
On the ground floor of the building, visitors can enjoy changing exhibits, Portraits of Justices, and a 24-minute film about the Supreme Court.
6. The Library of Congress
Location: 101 Independence Ave, SE
Open: Mon - Sat: 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Admission: free
For more information, visit: http://www.loc.gov/library/
Visitors to the Library
of Congress can view one of the most extensive collections of
documents pertaining to the woman suffrage movement available.
The long struggle for woman suffrage was well documented and has been the most widely researched and debated topic in American women's history. This is in great part due to the record keeping in the 1870s of suffragist leaders Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Matilda Joslyn Gage. Between 1881 and 1886 they published three extensive volumes called The History of Woman Suffrage. Members of the movement also published various pamphlets, autobiographies, and memoirs.
In 1903 Librarian of Congress Ainsworth Rand Spofford convinced Susan B. Anthony to donate her collection of books and other printed material to the Library of Congress. She agreed and her records are now kept in the Rare Books and Special Collections Division. The Library's curators began collecting manuscripts, photographs, writings of the movements leaders, records from the leading national suffrage organizations, and other papers relating to the struggle for women's rights and then assembled a compelling documentary history of the suffrage campaign, dating from its early connections with the abolition and temperance movements in the mid-19th century, up to its final victory in August 1920. In addition to learning about the suffrage movement at the Library of Congress, the Library launched an online photo gallery in August 2005 to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It can be viewed at: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/

This article is SO relevant for me because I recently cut someone out of my life because I no longer wanted to hold my tongue on my Facebook and Twitter page for fear of offending her AND because I didn't want to hear her mouth whenever I criticized religion and theism.
No Atheists Don't Have to Show "Respect" For Religion
I'll try my best to respect people but respecting religion...nah.
My former friend just couldn't get this through her head and unfortunately, I had to cut her off.

I am a little concerned about your statement, ".......I don't change my opinion of someone if he kills someone." I would suggest to you, sir, that you do indeed "change your opinion" of someone who kills someone. The circumstances under which that killing takes place will have a lot to do with your "opinion" of him after it happens. For instance, if he kills someone while trying to steal from them, your opinion of him is likely to be much different than if he kills someone who is attacking his young daughter.
I will go further and say that I think it likely that your level of respect for him will be based on your opinion of him. However, I think that you make a good point that you would never lose ALL respect for him. I refer to that level of respect as the "bare minimum" and is given to him based solely on the fact that he, no matter how bad, is a fellow human being.
It is this bare minimum of respect that prevents us from applying torture or other inhumane treatment to him. It ought also prevent us from ever applying the death penalty to anyone. We make a habit of punishing those who we have determined have broken our laws. I would offer the opinion that we do this, in large part, because of our religious teaching. Even those who do not grow up part of a religion are still living in societies that are religiously oriented; and have been for centuries.
Part of religious philosophy is that the "All Powerful" has the right to punish those who disobey. We have adopted this concept as part of our social system. We have the "All Powerful Government/Ruler" who set laws and exact punishment for those who transgress those laws. Like religion, we DO NOT examine the reasons for those laws being transgressed. Nor do we examine how to prevent this from happening. We "believe" that punishment and the threat of punishment alone is sufficient to enforce obedience to those laws.
As we have seen with religion, where no amount of evidence or even common sense can change a religious belief, so too can we see that the population in general "believes" in punishment as a "cure" for law-breaking, with no substantiating evidence to support that belief. In fact, there is much evidence that using punishment as a means of ensuring obedience to laws and social norms is an abject failure. So much a failure that countries, such as the US where punishment is fairly harsh, have the highest incidence of initial crime as well as the highest incidence of repeated criminal activity by those who have been "punished" once or more already.
My point here is that, along with religious belief, we also have other beliefs that cause us to take actions that are not of benefit to ourselves as a society or to individuals with whom we must deal. We hold numerous such "beliefs". I would suggest that, as atheists who claim to hold dear the concept that religious beliefs ought to be examined carefully, so too should we advocate that ALL "beliefs" should be examined. It seems less than productive to advocate the examination of religious belief only.
I have observed that those societies which have the highest numbers of atheists are also societies in which it is more common for the people to be skeptical of other commonly held "beliefs". It seems to me that it is easier for people to examine their religious beliefs when they are accustomed to examining most beliefs. In societies where many other beliefs prevail without examination, so too will religious belief flourish.
All of us have met people who claim to be "atheists" because they do not believe in a "god", yet they "believe" in astrology or spiritualism or some such thing. I do not call such people true "atheists". Some might argue that they are indeed atheists because they don't believe in a god but I think that they have merely substituted belief in a god for another nonsensical belief. They still believe in some "all powerful" influence over the affairs of mankind that is not proven, by rational means, to exist.
I agree with you, maybe I had chosen wrong words, what I tried to say is what you said. If someone kills someone else I will still consider him a human being and I will punish him but not with force, not with physical punishment but with some kind of work that will make him useful to society, to make him reflect on what he did and to become an example to the everyone.
We hide offenders behind fences, we don't show how they are punished (except in exaggerated ways on television or films) at least not all types of crime. Of course some will say, but they are dangerous, you can't send them into community and except them to behave. To this I have no answer.
Most of us in North America are accustomed to the fact that our present system of dealing with those who break our laws does not work. Most of us also tend to say something like, "But what else can we do?" We do not, however, ask that question seriously, very often.
One of the things that we can "do" is to look around the world and see if anyone else has any answers that might be of some help to us. Since it is common for us to "believe" that we have the most advanced society in the world (not even nearly true) we tend to ignore other countries' solutions.
Any search of the world for such answers about what to "do" with lawbreakers will produce some amazing results. We, in North America have an 87% recidivism rate - 87% of those we send to prison the first time will end up back there again. Not what one would call "success".
The Scandinavian countries are said to have a 5.5% recidivism rate. What does that tell you? Do you think our government ought to take a serious look at what those folks are doing to have such a high success rate? Yeah, so do I. But they won't. imprisoning people is "big business" in North America. Too many people, including our politicians, are making big bucks from this system.
In order to get our governments to adopt a better system we'd have to convince them that, a) the system really IS better, and b) that they could make just as much "under-the-table" money from any new system as they do now, and c) that it is worthwhile trying to get the population of the country to accept that "punishment alone" doesn't work. And this is a big problem. Since a high percentage of our population are members of religions that still "believe in" and approve of "punishment, punishment, punishment" it would be very difficult to get them to examine that "belief" rationally.
This is only one of the examples I could give you in regard to how "beliefs" - all kinds of beliefs - are harming us and our nations. To me it is imperative that we atheists be in the forefront in advocating the replacement of belief with reason at ALL levels of our society, not just in the religious areas.
Jesus a Christian?-fail! He was a religious Jew (if he existed) and never intended to create a new religion. He stated that there is only one God and in the Jewish faith trying to make yourself out as a god is blasphemous in the extreme and punishable by stoning. The so-called early Christians (followers of Jesus) were led by James, Jesus' brother who ultimately chased Paul away for preaching his own idiosyncratic version of Jesus' life. At this stage the term 'Christ', (from Greek, Cristos) was probably not commonly used. It became embedded by the guys who wrote the gospels in Greek. (Jesus' language was Aramaic and most of his disciples were illiterate)
I think it was Matthew who wrote (not Matthew the Disciple, but a Greek-speaking Jew) who saw Jesus' teachings as a further enhancement of Jewish faith and it's ultimate pinnacle. Paul made the Christian religion open to Gentiles who for the first time were also promised salvation (this was the exclusive privilege of Jews, followers of Yahweh/Jehovah at that stage).
I have a couple of points about this comment.
First let me ask: Do you also deny respect to someone who has cancer? Or to someone who is suffering psychosis? What about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder such as that suffered by our troops who have seen action recently?
I would have a hard time giving someone who rapes or molests anything more than a very, very minimum degree of basic respect. Yet I know that the disorders they are experiencing are mental health problems.
I have two choices. I can refuse them any respect as human beings. This allows me to call them derogatory names and beat or kill them. That solves their problem but I'm afraid it would cause one for me.
Or I can allow some tiny bit of respect for their humanity to mix with my sympathy for the mentally ill, and try to encourage our governments to fund research that might lead to a way to remedy their illness. We don't know a great deal about this kind of aberration yet. BUT we DO know that in many, many cases it stems from having been victims of such behaviour while they were children. It is a horrible fact that we don't do very much for children so abused. We just let them grow up bent and twisted. Then when they act this way we just want to bury them inside some prison forever. I wonder if it wouldn't be better if we just euthanized any child victim of such abuse so that they can't grow up to be twisted and sick perpetrators of it.
Yeah. I can hear you scream from here. THE CHILD IS AN INNOCENT VICTIM!! You'd never agree to that child being put to death. You'll wait until that child grows up, hurts other children, and THEN you'll want them put to death or incarcerated for life.
We, as a society, NEED to solve this problem. We aren't doing it. We are so afraid of "being soft" on such mentally ill people that we won't even try to cure this illness through research by trained professionals. Do you know that it costs about $80,000 per year to keep someone in jail? Do you know that it costs only 2/3rds of that to keep someone in a mental hospital and do research on them? But we don't do this. And our society and our children are paying the price for us not doing this.
Perhaps this is a time when both respect for another person who is ill and self-respect should join together to lick this problem. Just as with the religious, we DO NOT have to respect their ways to still have basic respect for their humanity.
What do you think?
I spy a false dichotomy!
Speaking of which, aren't sex registries filled with people neither dead, institutionalize, or imprisoned?
If you do indeed spy such, please identify it; if your lordship please.
Sex registries won't do you, or anyone else, any harm. Those who have been released into the society, untreated, unchanged, and likely to do harm again, will.
Have you ever checked on how many of them are in your neighbourhood? If not, you're in for a shock!
I don't see dichotomy ether, probably because I don't know what dichotomy is :P
I forgotten about people who kill because they have no options, I mean, the dog did tell him to kill people, now if dog tells me to kill someone, I first sh*t my pants and then bloody go outside and kill someone ;D
False dichotomy--A type of logical fallacy that involves a situation in which only two choices are offered when there are additional options. False dichotomy can arise intentionally when the fallacy is used to attempt to force a choice.
Often the favored attack choice of theists, especially concerning abortion issues.
Regarding sex registries, I think the only people who should be on them are repeat offenders.
It bothers me that a guy who is 21 and has a 17 year old girlfriend is labeled a sex offender for life.
Sometimes the parents are okay with the age difference but the one time they get pissed off, they can press charges. That's pretty messed up if you ask me.

- Brian: "Billy was always good to you and you ratted him out!"
- Johnny: "Billy's a one-way SOB and he doesn't give a shit about the club. If you think Billy'd stick his neck out for you, you're dumber than I thought!"
- ― Johnny Klebitz confronts Brian Jeremy and his crew
End of Chapter is a mission in The Lost and Damned. It is given by Jim Fitzgerald to Johnny Klebitz.
Once again you'll venture to Jim's location and undertake his next mission. It seems Brian, Billy's lapdog who abandoned the crew believing Johnny sold Billy out, is asking for a truce. He took a small contingent of other Lost MC members with him who also believe Johnny's a rat and thus defected into Brian's leagues. Instead of a truce, Johnny wants blood. Brian is a snake and stabbed his true brothers in the back by defecting, therefore Johnny, Jim and Terry decide to lay the smackdown on him and his crew. You lead the way (being the president all of a sudden with Billy's recent incarceration) and arrive on-scene to speak with Brian. Things don't go so well in the discussion and Brian calls for his backstabbing crew to come and kill your group. Time for a major gun battle.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Meet Brian at the docks
- Take out Brian's faction
- Chase Brian's faction and take them down
- Go to Jim
There are a few different waves of enemies in this mission. The first starts immediately after the cutscene. In front of you, members of Brian's backstabbing crew will ride on their bikes in circles. On each bike is a driver and a passenger who acts as a gunner. Popping the bike drivers with an SMG will work well. After these bike-riding foes are downed, another wave of enemies arrive. This time it's a van-load of enemies. There's three waves in total involving vans full of enemies. Once they're all killed, the bike-riding death duos return. Use the previous tactics and take these traitors out. After these, the last holdouts of Brian's gang will climb over a nearby wall, coming from Acter Industrial Park. They should be easy to kill as they take a long time to actually jump over the wall and cannot attack while doing so. Finally, the last wave appears. A couple more cycle duos will take off trying to leave the scene. This is unacceptable, so chase them down on your chopper and sawed-off these traitors. After all this killing, go to Jim. Johnny, Jim and Terry have effectively wiped out what was once the Lost MC membership. Seems more people than just Brian and a few cronies thought you were a rat. Being the coward that he is, Brian didn't stay to participate in or even watch the events of the fight unfold. He's managed to escape - for now. After this Johnny cuts his ties with Brian.
Video Walkthrough
- Brian's crew - Killed by Johnny, Jim, Terry and Clay for paring with Brian.
- The vans that Brian's crew attack in are Laundromats. They can be stolen, and the Player can only obtain and drive it when abandoning the scuffle halfway through which would mean Jim's Death and cause the mission to fail, driving the van while going after and killing the runaway bikers will cause you to lose the van, though if Jim is a bit further away from the bikers and after killing all of them, the game will insist that you wait for him, this is probably the only way to obtain the van while completing the mission. Also, when the runaway bikers try to get away, if you let them get away while in the van, you will lose it as you will spawn at the lost clubhouse with Jim and the van will not be at the parking space.
- Driving the Laundromat van will spawn more Laundromats as well as Speedo's.
- At the end of the mission, Jim rides off. If a large vehicle is in the parking space he will ride into it and him and the vehicle will explode, this will not affect anything. You will need to load up the autosave game (if it's enabled) for your vehicle to be re-spawned there.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama (www.incnow.tv) - Indiana Tech had its baseball season come to a close Saturday when the Warriors fell to top ranked Faulkner University 15-2 in the NAIA National Championship Opening Round.
The fourth-seeded Warriors were looking to avenge a loss to the top seeded Eagles earlier in the tournament, but Faulkner scored early and often to put the game out of reach, scoring all 15 of their runs in the first four innings.
Ben Christian and Bryan Brudi had two hits apiece as the Warriors finished with 12 hits on the afternoon.
Tech starter Zach Sailors suffered the loss, and reliever Josh Flory was solid out of the bullpen with 4 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
Indiana Tech finished their season with a record of 33-18.

Transport Minister Dr Harrison Mwakyembe has instructed the Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority management to come up with a clear plan for rescuing the company, ailing mainly due to poor management.
Dr Mwakyembe made the call yesterday in Dar es Salaam during a meeting with management and employees of TAZARA and Tanzania Railway Workers Union representatives.
"Southern regions and Zambia are not supposed to transport their goods through roads but railways, and if the joint venture is the problem we can end it in order to solve the problem," said Dr Mwakyembe.
He said which has since 1995 TAZARA changed managing directors eight times, can improve the country's economy within a short period of time if managed efficiently.
For his part, the Transport Deputy Minister Dr Charles Tizeba called for thorough investigation of TAZARA by the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB).
He requested the minister to allow him to call upon the anti-corruption watchdog to probe TAZARA.
Dr Tizeba also said his ministry shall find a way for the Surface and Marine Transport Regulatory Authority (SUMATRA) to have power to regulate TAZARA under the joint venture of Tanzania and Zambia.
"Currently SUMATRA has no authority over the joint venture, it is something to be looked into, so that it can fulfill its responsibilities without breaching the terms of the contract between Tanzania and Zambia," Dr Tizeba stressed.
He said lack of medical insurance among employees and the payment of cash on medical bills create loopholes for corruption.
Erasto Kihwele who is Secretary General of Tanzania Rail Workers Union (TRAWU) said TAZARA employees were yet to be paid their salaries for March and April.
Kihwele added: "Lack of fuel has made TAZARA unable to operate on its own. We need 8.5bn/- in order to purchase fuel and components for six months."
Kihwele also said TAZARA employees have requested for the formation of new board and the removal of the managing director and his deputy from office.
He said the top bosses had never attended any employee meeting to hear their problems.
"We don't have a pension scheme, which should ideally be under the National Social Security Fund, so when we retire we end up with nothing."
For her part a Controller of TAZARA Teresia Mahalagati said the charges on goods transported by the authority are low compared to the transportation cost.
Mahalagati added: "The weighbridge of the authority is causing a big loss because it is not operating properly. Train wagons are overloaded and under-declared, thus denying the authority revenues."
The deputy managing director of TAZARA Damas Ndumbaro said that he signed the cheque of all employees' salaries last Thursday, and that it was for the bank to complete the transactions in order for the workers to get their money.
When asked about poor management, Ndumbaro responded: "There can never be a good management under a poor system. But I cannot resign. I need to work for the benefit of TAZARA because so many MD's have left the office over the years and nothing much has changed."

A charter bus carrying 50 children and adults on a ferry got stuck, causing delays to one route in the east.
According to ferry workers, the coach bus was one of six headed to Camp Donlee on the Minnosott Beach-Cherry Branch Ferry. Only two of the big buses can get on the ferry at a time and one of them got caught between the platform and the ferry.
A tow truck had to be brought in to help lift up the bus and the ferry became operational again shortly after noon.
As for the 50 people on the bus, they got to Minnesott Beach on a different ferry so they could catch up with their group.
The D.O.T. says the bus had an air ride suspension failure, and while that's safe for road travel, it caused the bus to become too low to the ground and become stuck on the ramp.

Great vacation getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at Heron Ledge! Despite being close to the highway, 2 other cottages, a campground and a marina, it was remarkably quiet and very peaceful. We enjoyed the views of the lake and Valcour Island / Lighthouse from the deck of Lynn's Cottage, and we were most appreciative of the fully equipped kitchen, cable television, wi-fi, in-unit washer and dryer, and the really comfortable bed. The linens and dishes were top-notch, and I was able to find an appropriate pot / pan / dish for everything I prepared in the kitchen. We were close to many wonderful attractions, good restaurants and a variety of shopping opportunities---all of which we took advantage of! The owners and cleaning staff were most pleasant, and Sue, the realtor with whom we dealt when making our arrangements, was extremely helpful. It was a great experience, and we look forward to visiting again!
Clean, cozy and an outdoorsmans getaway.
Great location for a family or a fisherman. Everything was just perfect. Property is very clean and owners were pleasant. A great time.
Wonderful Week
A great home and responsive owner. We arrived 4 hours early and the maid was more than happy to accomdate us and let us unpack the car. House was spotless with lots of attention to detail. Little things were addressed like the silverware tray was completely clean and the drawers were all lined and free from dust. This is not what you would expect in a summer rental - - really nice sheets, and good quality mattresses, nice paintings, The second bedroom is a great set up for kids with nice lighting and toys. Some of the towels were a little threadbare but there were plenty of them. The house was older but it has lots of charm. They had a good DVD collection and a large screen TV for rainy days. The lake is crystal clear although you need an old pair of sneakers to keep your feet safe from the shale. The lake deepens gradually with no steep drop-offs or holes. A nice but small row boat is right on the beach. Our children loved it. Fishing was very good even off the dock. The flower garden was there as advertised but it needed a little work (understatement) but the lawns were great. The owner checked us in and came once during the week. to check in on us.

Outdoor Rooms
Posted by Cynthia | Filed under Musings
As the season is upon us to spend more time out of doors, I've spent a fair share of time looking at inspirational outdoor spaces. I find I am drawn to those that are uncluttered, and have an element of sculpture about them. Providing the objects in an outdoor room space to breathe, makes these spaces live bigger, and allows us to enjoy the sculptural quality of the furniture, which could get lost in a grouping. Not unlike the power of the vast expanse of an open landscape, these outdoor rooms provide a canvas for the pattern of shadow and the interplay of the objects in the space. That doesn't necessarily mean an outdoor room needs to be large. These great effects can be felt in the smallest of courtyard or patio. Take account of the direction the sun will splash down upon your place, and the perfect placement of your seating or table to engage it. Dramatic. Simple. And, oh so lovely.

January 17th, 2013
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
If you need something to warm you up in these cold winter months, a hot buttered rum might be just the ticket (provided you're of age, of course).
Warmed alcoholic beverages are particularly popular at this time of year; warm apple cider and mulled wine are often served to help heat up guests when, baby, it's cold outside. One of the more well-known warm beverages is the hot toddy.
Traditionally, a hot toddy combines an alcohol (bourbon, Scotch, rye, dark rum or brandy) with hot water, honey and spices. A hot buttered rum - a variation of a toddy - incorporates, as you probably guessed, butter and rum into the recipe.
A hot buttered rum starts out by making a batter. This isn't your typical cake or pancake batter. Instead, it's a bit of butter, some sugar and spices (nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and allspice are popular choices) muddled together. Equal parts of rum and water are added to fill the glass. Voila – you've just made a hot buttered rum.
For additional variations, try a dark or spiced rum in your recipe.

County financial officers are working with insurance companies to correct what they believe is an ongoing taxing mistake that costs the county as much as $1 million annually, according to figures from the judge-executive's office. But this correction will cost some city governments funding, and create additional work for county employees.
Judge-Executive Duane Murner and county financial officers recently discovered the insurance premium tax - a tax on property owners in Oldham County - has been misdirected by insurance companies to the wrong jurisdictions.

|It has been suggested to move/rename this page to The Mendez Brothers - discuss
Diego and Armando Mendez were characters of the Grand Theft Auto series whose appeared as the main characters and the secondary antagonists of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories .
They are the two most powerful drug kingpins and well known philanthropists in Vice City circa 1984, and the heads of their own crime organization, The Mendez Cartel when the events of the game takes place. The brothers are of Bolivian descent.
The voice actor for Diego is Ruben Trujillo, while Armando is voiced by Yul Vasquez.
In GTA Vice City Stories, Diego and Armando are first mentioned in mission Brawn of the Dead by Jerry Martinez, telling Vic Vance that the shipment of coke that Victor Vance and his brother Lance had stolen from them belonged to the Mendez Brothers.
Later, Diego and Armando have Vic and Lance brought to them, where they tell them Martinez stole the shipment, and use some pictures of Martinez with the cops and a fake license to prove this to the Mendez's. Vic and Lance keep working for the Mendez brothers until they decide to take over all of the Vance's businesses by dumping them in a burning oil storage and leaving them for dead.
Vic and Lance escape the burning oil storage and seek protection from Ricardo Diaz, who eventually helps them destroy the Mendez brothers' bonds with a Domestobot. In revenge for the destruction of their bonds, Armando has Louise Cassidy-Williams, Victor's girlfriend kidnapped, in the process of rescuing Louise, Lance is heavily injured, and Louise is killed by Armando Mendez. A vengenceful Vic then confronts a flamethrower wielding Armando and guns him to death.
Diego, after hearing his brother was killed, seeks refuge in his compound in Downtown. Then Vic Vance, with the help of Ricardo Diaz and Phil Cassidy, steals a Hunter helicopter and uses it to raid the compound. He is eventually shot down, but makes it to the compound and after slaughtering many of Diego's men, confronts Diego in the compound's roof. There they are joined by Jerry Martinez and a final confrontation starts where Victor manages to kill both Martinez And Diego for good.
Diego is the more quiet of the two and only speaks Spanish, while the more charismatic Armando is the one with greater control of the organization. Reni Wassulmaier implies that he/she had relations with Diego. They also own a Domestobot, which was destroyed by Armando when Victor took control of it and destroyed his bonds.
Character design
Armando seems to be based on Scarface's Alejandro Sosa, as he bears a striking resemblance to him both in appearance and personality, while Diego resembles Giorgio Moroder circa 1984. The brothers' names are a play on Argentinean soccer star, Diego Armando Maradona.
Murders commited by the Mendez brothers
- Louise Cassidy-Williams - Kidnapped and killed to lure Lance and Vic to a trap. (Killed by Armando Mendez)
- The two brothers are possibly based on the character's of the 'Diaz Brothers' a pair of fraternal drug dealers who are mentioned in the 1983 film Scarface and physically featured in it's 2006 video game adaption.
- Armando Mendez is primarily based on Alejandro Sosa, the main antagonist of the film Scarface.
- In Diego's artwork, he is holding a Beretta M12 sub-machine gun, which is absent from the game. It could have been present in the beta.
- Interestingly in the mission "Light My Pyre " if the player is to use the flamethrower against Armando he will not take any form of damage, however this may be a simple glitch .
- According to Armando he and his brother are utilitarians, as well as Diego being a fan of Plato's work while Armando is a fan of Aristotle's work. This is true, Utilitarism defends that mankind should always look towards finding pleasure, while both brothers have become drug dealers for personal gain.
- There are rumors saying that T-Bone Mendez from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is related to the brothers, however the brothers are Bolivian while T-Bone is Mexican, so this is unlikely.
- In the mission, Last Stand, Vic originally also had to kill Armando Mendez, not just Jerry Martinez and Diego Mendez.

|hope college > van raalte institute
When the director began his work in January of 1994, the first home of the Institute was a corner of the Retired Faculty Office in Van Zoeren Hall at Hope College. In 1996, when Dr. Swierenga was invited to become a member of the Institute, it became apparent that additional room was needed for the growing Institute. New headquarters were established in the Lumir Building at 100 East Eighth Street, on the edge of Hope's campus, in March of that year. This building has since been purchased by Hope College. With the move of the Institute headquarters from cramped space in Van Zoeren Hall to 100 East Eighth Street, sufficient office space was made available for all the members of the Institute. Thanks to another major gift from Peter H. Huizenga, the college furnished and equipped five offices, a staff room, and the reception areas in our new location. Office furniture designed and built by the Haworth Company has been used throughout the offices and in the reception areas. Modern office equipment includes computers, microfilm reading machines, and a fax machine, copier and scanner.
An additional benefit of moving into our new location has been the opportunity to acquire artworks which illuminate aspects of our research. Significant among these are an oil portrait of the Reverend Dr. Albertus C. Van Raalte in his middle years, on loan from Hope College's art collection, and a 27 inch bronze statue of Van Raalte, a copy of the maquette created for the nine-foot bronze statue recently placed in Holland's Centennial Park. (See "Dedication of the Van Raalte Statue," later in this report.)
The Reverend Gerard Van Heest, Hope College Chaplain Emeritus and a Hope graduate in the class of 1949, contributed a signed portrait of Mr. Abraham Kuyper, prime minister of the Netherlands during the reign of Queen Wilhelmina. Another benefactor of the college, John Vennema, nephew of Hope's fourth president, the Reverend Ame Vennema, contributed a large etching of Queen Wilhelmina, which was created in 1898, the year of her ascension to the throne of the Netherlands. This etching had hung in the law office of Mr. Vennema's father, who was Consul General of the Netherlands, in the Chicago office, from 1914 to 1941.
A fine etching, dated 1729, of the historic Synod of Dort which was held in 1618 and 1619, was contributed by the director, who also donated several smaller pieces. A painting by Mae Van Ark hangs in the director's office, providing an intriguing reminder of the Institute's recent history by showing the Burger King restaurant which originally was in the location where the offices at 100 East Eighth Street now stand.

May 2, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden says the Obama administration is "absolutely committed" to curbing gun violence in the United States and will push to tighten gun laws in response to last week's schoolhouse massacre in Connecticut.
Biden says he and Obama believe that, quote, "even if we can only save one life, we have to take action."
Biden is a longtime gun control advocate. He's overseeing the response to Friday's killing of 20 schoolchildren and six adults in Newtown, Conn.
Obama set a January deadline for the group, which is considering changes such as reinstating a ban on military-style assault weapons, closing loopholes that let gun buyers skirt background checks and restricting high-capacity ammunition clips. Biden was meeting Thursday with Cabinet members and law enforcement officials from around the country.

Repeatedly demanding "What is your stance on abortion"? Seriously, Scythe, was that you all those times over all these years here?
Try again.
The LLA is a total non-event to me. Let me repeat...do not care. It simply extended the time a person could file a lawsuit for wage violation or some shit. It was already 180 days to file and I believe the act simply extended this time...don't care. Not exactly a hot button or even an issue for the nation at this time. Wow, this fucking concerns you about Ryan at this time?...lol.
Womens right to choose is their right. I hate what it is, but I do agree that women have that right to do what they choose. Period. Romney/Ryan are not going to approach this subject imho. They have far greater things to worry about. Changing this law is not a priority and they would probably lose if they were stupid enough to even attempt it.
Obama can't even get a friggin budget together since he's been in office and is burying this country. Ryan has a budget...for quite a while actually. This is what we need at this time.
Correction: Both sides have budgets at the ready, but the congress can't pass anything for shit because they're too busy bickering like children. Kind of like what's going on here.
Obama got an omnibus spending bill passed, which is fairly standard stuff. But Congress hasn't passed an actual budget since 1997. Where is your god now?
Those are also called cont. resolutions and they are a god dam joke. Talk about pissing away tax dollars. There's more pork in those CR's than in a real budget. Obama campaigned on change and has done nothing. My point was that even the first 2 years with a dem congress he wouldn't pass a budget. Clinton was no genius but he knew how to work accross the board with republicans and actually passed a real budget. Ryan at least has a real actual budget in writing...Obama doesn't.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - There are some new restrictions for trap fishermen as their Gulf of Maine shrimp season gets under way.
Maine Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher lowered the daily limit from 800 pounds to 500 pounds for trappers for their season beginning Tuesday. Trappers will be allowed to haul around the clock, Monday through Saturday.
Late last week, Keliher also lifted time-of-day restrictions on trawlers, allowing them to cast nets around-the-clock on Mondays and Wednesdays, the days they're allowed to fish.
The shrimp season got under way on Jan. 23 with a big quota reduction that lowered the limit to 1.4 million pounds, a 74 percent decrease from 5.3 million pounds last year.

Sun and Ice is a manufacturer of solar cookers in Germany. They have introduced a new parabolic solar cooker, which hopes to capture a portion of the market for parabolic cookers due to its simple design elements. Two versions of the cooker, called the Premium 14 and Premium 11, use less material and simpler construction equipment than found in the SK14. Read about it.
The highly efficient solar cookers of Sun and Ice are available at any time of the year and within all degrees of latitude. You will be surprised at which short time dishes including cake, meet, stew, pizza, bread or pasta are ready to serve.
The solar cookers of Sun and Ice are easily and quickly assembled and disassembled, and the swivel-type rack belonging to it allows to direct the cooker towards the sun.
Due to a ceramic protective layer the reflecting material is weatherproof and sheltered from saline air as well as from pollution by chemicals.
News and recent developments

text: Saturday. A glance at the eclectic cultural happenings at Boulder's Dairy Center for the Arts on April 26 may imply a number of different events: movies, art, music, food, monologues — even a magic act. But the fourth annual MMMMMBoulder! truly earns its name by uniting all those in a community-oriented setting (think vendor tables, galleries, food trucks, etc.), augmented by live performances and screenings. This year's event spotlights area filmmakers, music from acts like Martian Acres, Covex and Lisa Bell, dance from 3rd Law Dance/Theater, local storytellers, illusionists, visual artists and (perhaps most important) beer, wine and grub from some of Boulder's finest, including Bon Appétit Mobile Bistro, Boulder Bowls food trucks and Shamane's Bake Shoppe.

An Advanced Style Makeover
After my divine run in with the girls from England(check out yesterday's post for the full story), I thought I'd brighten up Carol's day with an Advanced Style makeover. Carol has been a bit down lately, so she decided to come to New York for her 66th birthday, in order to get re-inspired. Carol rarely wears color so after a trip to Debra's, where we played with hats and put some bright make up on her, we headed over to Off Broadway Boutique. Lynn, Pat and the gang were ready to lend a helping hand for Carol's final transformation.We were even able to convince her to put on a little color.What do you think of Carol's new look? I hope you enjoy the videos above. It was truly wonderful running into these fantastic ladies who showed me that the ladies on Advanced Style are inspiring others to feel good about themselves.

Hi Ari. You didn't just make Carol's holiday, you may have transformed her life! Isn't it amazing how such beautiful women (the two of them and, in fact, all the rest of us!) never think of themselves as beautiful? And Carol - I know your village and, although the Brits can be a little judgemental :), GO FOR IT and add some color to your life. You are truly gorgeous!!

Ari...I was writing about how older people can find new friends. In retirement communities it seems that many men and women are very lonesome while standing in a crowded room. It occurred to me that you colorful friend might be an inspiration. Don't you think people that dress or wrap themselves in color invite conversation? I included a screen shop of your friend. Thank you for the connection.
- May 20, 2011 at 11:47 PM

I really like Carol's look in the fuchsia jacket. Perhaps her usual look is more conservative than she'd like, but Carol's classic conservatism is a nice foil for a colorful artistic piece like that. It ends up looking dramatic but confident, and it works!
