In an April 4, 2014 column for WorldNetDaily, Pat Buchanan once again fawns over Vladimir Putin, whom he hails for leading "the counter-reformation against the new paganism" and "the same-sex-marriage pandemic."
With Marxism-Leninism a dead faith, Putin is saying the new ideological struggle is between a debauched West led by the United States and a traditionalist world Russia would be proud to lead.
In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God's side. The West is Gomorrah.
Buchanan, who has a very extensive history of insisting that only straight white people should count as human beings, declares that "in the culture war for the future of mankind, Putin is planting Russia's flag firmly on the side of traditional Christianity" and against "the West's capitulation to a sexual revolution of easy divorce, rampant promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, assisted suicide – the displacement of Christian values by Hollywood values."
Once again, what readily becomes apparent is that Pat Buchanan really hates freedom.
In 2013, the Kremlin imposed a ban on homosexual propaganda, a ban on abortion advertising, a ban on abortions after 12 weeks and a ban on sacrilegious insults to religious believers.
"While the other superpowers march to a pagan worldview," writes WCF's Allan Carlson, "Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12."
Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?
In the new ideological Cold War, whose side is God on now?
Historically, "God" tends not to wind up on the side of the people who think name-dropping Jesus automatically makes them right.
This is, after all, the same man who annexed territory from Georgia and Ukraine and defended accused war criminals Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad, all facts that Buchanan's raging boner for theocracy blinds him from seeing.

The cover looks really good on my 2016 White Tundra. It was easy to install. In fact, I installed it the same day as my Bedrug bed liner, and the bed liner took longer to install than the UnderCover Elite LX Tonneau cover. The construction is very solid, and the hardware looks beefy enough to do the job. It is, without doubt, very functional. They put a lot of thought into the design and it shows. It will provide an insulated barrier against the blazing sun for items in the trunk (bed).

Sabreena was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was comfortable and easy. If we had any spare time she made sure she filled it by showing us extra things such as gardens and a tea house. She was always happy to translate for us, even getting out of bed on the sleeper train to tell us what a sign meant, even though we told her she needn't bother. I couldn't ask for a better tour guide. "
Had a great time, I filled out one of these on paper too, but 10/10 would recommmened. "
I was delighted with both my tour and our guides. The entire trip exceeded my expectations. One of the many winning features of an On The Go trip is the easy, relaxed and reassuring manner with which the guides dealt with any unexpected occurrences. I particularly enjoyed the schedule as there was a superb balance throughout the trip which allowed us as a group to see everything whilst also giving us free time to enjoy places on our own but always with the safe knowledge that Feng was never far away. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone who wants to travel with the very best tour operator available today."

This was going to be an Aspire/Acquire, because $880 is a bit steep for our summer shoe budget. But as it turns out, there's absolutely nothing even remotely close to this Fendi Twisted Textured Metallic Leather Platform Sandal on the market. And trust us: we looked. For about three hours. We're that crazy about the style of the boldly contrasting gold and silver straps and elegantly textured leather. Looks like we'll just have to suck it up and sell a kidney.

|sponsored by ICS
|Opened: 2009-02-06 18:09
If a PanedWindow starts off with orientation=VERTICAl and you create two children, everything lools OK = the children appear one over the other with a horizontal separator and sash between them. If you then change orientation to HORIZONTAL, the two children should appear side-by-side with a vertical separator and sash in between. the children appear horizontally, and the sash is between them, but the separator remains horizontal across the middle of the PanedWindow (behind the children, but visible between them) instead of becoming vertical.
This problem exists in Motif 2.1.30 and 2.2.3. The old ICS XiPanedWindow widget does NOT have this problem; it solves it by correctly modifying the child separators in ist SetValues method with this code: ForAllChildren(new_pw, childP) { Pane pane = PaneInfo(*childP); if (pane->separator != NULL) { XtSetValues(pane->separator, sep_args, num_sep_args); } }
Created an attachment (id=236) Patch
Fixed in CVS HEAD and openmotif_2_3 branches.
You may use Paned widget instead. It has almost the same functionality as PanedWindow. PanedWindow is deprecated as duplicating widget of Paned.
It does not take into account default heights of paned children, and quite easily, if you move the paned sash, program goes in cycle and then crashes, after widgets negotiate for space for some time, in a visible jitter. take ddd http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/ and compile it with the latest OpenMotif. You will see that Paned window does not work properly, if at all.
firstname.lastname@example.com says: "PanedWindow is deprecated as duplicating widget of Paned." That is good to know. Is there a list deprecated functions and widgets somewhere? XmPanedWindow man page does not say it, and I could not find anything in documentation.
The proposed patch is not good, it sets to 0 all panes. Just try to start demo/setdate
Created an attachment (id=248) Refix
Fixed in CVS HEAD and openmotif_2_3 branches
*** Bug 1490 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Even with this latest fix, my program programs using PanedWindow, after window resize goes in infinite loop and crashes. I revert back to PanedW.c version 1.4, it works fine. I will attach DDD screenhot to demonstrate where it happens.
Created an attachment (id=250) DDD screenshot of loop resize crash
Dropped patch in botch HEAD and openmotif_2_3 branches for release 2.3.3

LOL You've got the wrong place concretebob. The battle here is in Iraq, not Afganistan. There are no caves, and all the rest of that that you posted. In Iraq they have satellite tv, cell phones, etc.
I believe that they can even get Fox News.
By JIM KRANE
Associated Press Writer
NEAR FALLUJAH, Iraq - The skies over Fallujah are so crowded with U.S. military aircraft that they are layered in stacks above the city, from low-flying helicopters and swooping attack jets to a jet-powered unmanned spy drone that flies above 60,000 feet.
Much of the focus has been on the massive U.S. ground assault to reclaim the insurgent stronghold, but the complex air war is an indication of the effort and equipment the United States has invested in winning the battle for Fallujah.
No fewer than 20 types of aircraft have been thrown into the fight, including 10 fixed-wing planes, three types of helicopters and seven kinds of unmanned drones.
"We call it the wedding cake. It's layered all the way up," said Air Force Lt. Col. David Staven, who leads the ground targeting effort on a U.S. base outside Fallujah.
Much of the air war is being directed by 10 teams of ground controllers, who moved into the city with Army and Marine fighters. The controllers call down bombing raids or rocket attacks on insurgent positions in the city, said Staven, who leads the 9th Expeditionary Air Support Operations Squadron.
"You take out the threat from the air so you don't have to get soldiers into the building to clear it on foot," said Staven. "It's better to take the enemy out from a distance than to go face to face with him."
American warplanes relentlessly pounded Fallujah over the past three days, pouring cannon fire, rockets and bombs onto the city, sometimes just blocks ahead of advancing U.S. troops.
A pair of AC-130 gunships fired their entire arsenal of ammunition on Fallujah during Monday night's assault - launching dozens of 105mm shells, hundreds of 25mm rounds and more than a hundred 40mm rounds.
"They'd just walk rounds down the street in front of the Bradley teams," said Staven, 43, of Great Falls, Mont. "They sent two gunships home with no rounds left."
On Wednesday, an Apache gunship sank five boats in the Euphrates River that the military said were used to resupply guerrillas with rocket-propelled grenades and mortar shells.
The front line strikes are directed by Air Force or Marine tactical air control teams, who carry computers and laser target designator gear in backpacks, climbing to rooftops of Fallujah and pointing out targets for Air Force, Marine and Navy attack jets.
The teams' laptop computers allow them to glean targeting coordinates from live video transmissions from unmanned spy planes droning above Fallujah.
Some teams are paired with Army or Navy special forces teams or snipers, working on the front lines and calling airstrikes within two blocks of their own positions.
The crowded airspace meant that attack jets bombarding the city Wednesday had a three-minute window to scream down and demolish targets - and then clear out - before another followed on its tail.
Strike jets fly in high-altitude "holding areas" until they are given bombing coordinates, Staven said. U.S. warplanes bombing the city include Marine F-18s and AV-8 Harriers.
The city is also being pummeled by Army Apache and Kiowa helicopters and Marine Super Cobra gunships, as well as the unmanned Predator spy plane, armed with Hellfire missiles.
There are also a slew of unmanned spy planes - including the Hunters and Pioneers - that relay targeting imagery to controllers, as well as a manned Air Force Joint STARS craft monitoring ground traffic and an observation plane that the military requested be unidentified.
At least two aircraft outfitted with "electronic warfare" equipment have flown in the battle of Fallujah, jamming cellular telephones and other communications signals, some of which can be used to remotely detonate insurgents' bombs.
On this Army base outside Fallujah, Staven leads a four-man team watching spy plane video to find mortar teams or rocket launchers and then feeding their positions to pilots flying over the city, or via chat rooms to the nearby Marine air operations center.
"This is how we're controlling the air war," Staven said, pointing to a bank of five computer screens in the dusty, crowded nerve center of the 1st Cavalry Division's base.
The constant air and artillery bombardment has to be demoralizing for Fallujah's guerrilla defenders, Staven said.
"Suddenly you see that mortar team disappear. You never heard it coming. That's got to weigh heavily on their minds," he said.
No but there are tunnels, and I can't believe they could sit still long enough to hear a pep talk.
The article below your post refers to jamming cell phone signals and radio transmissions.
I have a friend in Fallujah, with the SeaBees. I hope he's OK.
May God place His hand upon them, and keep them safe.
Are these "foreign fighters" shoeless, so that can enter and exit their Mosques/ammo dumps, etc. quickly?
"Are these "foreign fighters" shoeless, so that can enter and exit their Mosques/ammo dumps, etc. quickly?"
LOL. No. I read on another thread that the local Sunni's don't trust the 'insurgents' and force them to leave their footwear as a security deposit for weapons. Why? Because there have been times when 'criminals' (?) identifying themselves as genuine jihad fighters have taken weapons away and sold them....life is very very complicated in the arab world....
Thanks a million for the info, Fred!
AP says those arrested are Iraqis.
How can they be so sure?
If they go back into the city, we get another chance to kill them. If we put them in a holding pen, we have to use troops and supplies to look out for them, and they'd probably be released later to make IED's and kill us.

He's saying "Oh, believers! Never rely on Alta Vista Babelfish to translate Arabic in to English! No infidel will understand the will of Allah and his prophet, peace be upon him, if you are so unwise."
It's starting to make sense now, when we go into the next city the jihadis will have to think twice about the offer to leave before the bombs start dropping.
Puter won't load day 180 for me any longer tonight? Maybe tomorrow. Good night.
Good night Gucho. Sleep tight!!

Both games are available at Buffalo Wild Wings, 4050 Wilder Road. But the restaurant's general manager Brad Lone said the timing of the games limits business.
"When they're together like this it actually hurts us," he said. "We don't have enough seating for all the fans."
Lone said he expects Buffalo Wild Wings to be packed between noon and early afternoon because of the two bowl games. The restaurant seats nearly 300 people but Lone said it won't be enough to meet Saturday's demand.
"We don't do reservations, so people need to plan ahead," he said. "We're not going to push people out or give them just an hour or so to watch the game, either. We want people to enjoy the whole experience, so it's really hard for us (to accommodate everyone)."

Today is April 15th. Everyone throughout America knows the 15th of April is called 'Tax Day.' Many people mumble and complain about the 15th of April. The day tends to cause many people stress, due to the idea of paying out money that they may not have.
Today, in Muskegon, many people are exasperated and irritable. Several companies are being run without management; other places the owners are crabby. While many of the local accountants are running on minimal sleep, most will be staying open late, for the non-conformist who would like to make a point by waiting until the last possible second to hand in their checks.
While it is known throughout the world that people don't like giving money to 'Uncle Sam', it is Biblical to do so. The Bible explains the importance of paying one's taxes and the consequences if they don't. Romans 13: 1-7 is all about paying taxes. It says, starting in verse 2, "So anyone that rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished." Going on to verse 6 it says, "Pay your taxes, too, for the same reasons. For government workers need to be paid, they are serving God in what they do."
Paying taxes may not be easy in this economy, but it is the right thing to do, and Biblical to do so. Today while you march in the post office, perhaps you should go with a smile on your face. The postal workers are forced to be there later than normal, the accountants are forced to be in later than normal, and it is all because people want to wait to get their taxes in. Today is a good day to make it a point to be kind to people, and to thank God for what you have. Give yourself a pat on the back; you are doing a good deed by paying your taxes.

TigerText (for iPhone) to revolutionize the way we send and receive SMS
X Sigma Partners, an L.A.-based company, announced the availability of TigerText, a new application for iPhone set to revolutionize the way people send and receive text messages.
Leveraging on patent-pending technology, TigerText lets you send messages that "delete off of both the sender's and receiver's phone after a set period of time."
You can set the messages' lifespan from 1 minute up to 30 days after receipt. After a message is deleted, it can no longer be retrieved, since it's not stored on any server.
"I can't think of anyone who would not want this protection. It is not about hiding what you are doing or trying to be deceptive. It is about protecting your privacy. In today's fast paced world, everyone is guilty of running at the thumb at some point in time. No one would want every text they send to live forever. Business texts are safe from leaks or corporate spying; personal messages are kept private; embarrassing texts simply disappear," says Jeffrey Evans who worked on TigerText.
iPhone users can download the TigerText application here, or by searching it in the App Store. The application is free for the first 15 days of use, or for the first 100 text messages. After that, it's $1.49 per month for 250 texts. If you want unlimited texts, you have to pay $2.49 per month.
TigerText apps for Android and BlackBerry will be released soon. No word yet about the availability of versions for Symbian, Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7.

The Airway Heights City Council adopted its reclaimed water plan at the June 16 meeting. The Department of Ecology approved the plan before it was brought to the council.
Public Works director Kelly Williquette explained that the city developed the reclaimed water plan to evaluate the use of reclaimed water in the city and to outline a capital improvement plan for recommended improvements.
The source for the reclaimed water is the city's Water Reclamation Plant, between South Russell and Lawson Street. Williquette said the facility treats around 600,000 gallons of wastewater a day. The...

Columbia Musical Treasury of All Time Favorites presents:
The Sensational Sixties.
This started out as a poem written in 1899 by Cuban writer Jose Marti. The poem is about a girl from Guantanamo and was written from the point of view of a Cuban revolutionary. In the early 1960s Pete Seeger heard Hector Angulo singing a Cuban folk song using Marti's words based on a traditional melody adapted by bandleader Joseito Fernandez. This was the time of the Cuban missile crisis and the peace activist Seeger decided to adapt it in honor of Marti. He combined Marti's original Spanish with spoken English and made it into a song for the peace movement.
In 1966, a Los Angeles folk trio called The Sandpipers recorded a version of this that hit #7 in the UK and #9 in the US. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)
The song is made of 2 parts which do not have any relation whatsoever:
Part 1 - In the 19th century, an anonymous popular song circulates with the words "guarija guantanamera," which means peasant-woman from Guantanamo. It was collected and arranged in 1932 by Joseito Fernandez, who made it the hallmark of his orchestra and popularized it as a dance called "Guajira-son," which he used in place of "Bolero" in closing every ball. "La Guajira is therefore the name of a dance too.
Part 2 - It's not before 1958 that Julian Orbon combined this popular refrain with some quatrains taken at random from the immense poem Versos Sencillos (simple verses) by Jose Marti. It commences with, "Yo soy un ombre sincero," but you have to wait for hundreds of verses before finding: "Con los pobres de la tierra." At last words well in line with the acclaimed Seeger -Guthrie protest song style. Marti never mentioned any Guajira from Guantanamo in those verses. As in many popular songs, you can't find any logical link between the verses and the refrain. (thanks, Denis - Paris, France) -GBvC_dTQZ7k

Paul Reiser may be best known today for his many film and television roles, but like most sitcom stars, the "Mad About You" funnyman began his career onstage. Ranked No. 77 on Comedy Central's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time, Reiser returns to the Vegas stage Aug. 23-24 to perform his relatable brand of stand-up comedy at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino.
"It's something I've wanted to do," Reiser admitted to Examiner.com during an interview on Aug. 19 when asked about performing stand-up comedy again. "I missed it, and my comic friends kept pushing me to do it, I just never got up out of my chair. Eventually, I ran out of excuses. I MC'd this charity event and had a lot of fun. The audience was great, and I realized I hadn't had an experience like that in years. I liked it. It was a lovely reminder of what I used to do and enjoyed. It was like being reunited with old friends."
Reiser said that "in his heart" he always considered himself a comedian ("My idols were Bill Cosby and George Carlin—not Robert De Niro and Lawrence Olivier," he stated), though he knew he couldn't call himself that having been away from the stage for so long.
"I was overwhelmed—I was busy," he replied when asked what took him so long to make his triumphant return to stand-up. "Then after ['Mad About You'] ended, I was busy with other projects. I wanted to go back when the time was right, when I could write new material. I didn't want to be telling the same jokes I told when I was 35."
For those who've never seen Reiser perform live before, the comedian promised there wouldn't be any surprises with his material, like some other comics who are known for their more family-friendly personas on television, but then tell R-rated jokes onstage (think Bob Saget, Tim Allen and Brad Garrett).
"I'm not smart enough to make stuff up; I just talk about what happens," Reiser said. "With 'Mad About You' (which Reiser co-created), that was about couples. It always had this feel of what happens when a couple leaves the party, closes the car door and starts talking—that was the show. Now, I talk about being in my 50s and raising a teenager and being married for 25 years. I think it was Bill Cosby who said, 'The most personal things always end up being the most universal.'"
Reiser added that the meet and greets he frequently hosts after his performances have ended up being "a surprising treat," as he gets a chance to chat with his fans and learn "what episodes rang true" for them from "Mad About You."
"I never got to meet the audience before," he said.
While Reiser's been on the road more regularly as of late, performing "two or three weekends a month," when he's not on tour, he's still performing at local comedy clubs testing out new material.
"I'll stop in and do 5 to 10 minutes of new stuff to work things out," he said. "There's always so much more to learn."
When he's not busy honing his craft, Reiser said he escapes to Las Vegas "once or twice a year" with his buddies or his wife. In fact, the father of two was just here a month ago with his 17-year-old son. When asked about what restaurants he likes to visit when he's in town, Reiser replied, "There are so many. Twenty years ago, there was just an Italian restaurant and some bad Chinese food."
Reiser said he enjoys dining at SW Steakhouse inside the Wynn, as he usually craves a "great steak" when he's visiting ("There's just something about Vegas," he said. "You just want to eat a big piece of cow, it's such a testosteroney town."). The New York native also said he loves Rao's inside Caesars Palace, as it brings "a little bit of New York" to Sin City. As for any guilty food pleasures, Reiser just replied, "Everything in front of me I'll eat—there are very few things I don't."
While Reiser may have visited Las Vegas recently, the real question "Mad About You" fans want to know is how often he visits with his former costar, the lovely Helen Hunt. Reiser said the two do "keep in touch," and that he actually saw Hunt just two months ago. Unfortunately, he doesn't see his "My Two Dads" costars quite as frequently. While Reiser admitted he "bumped into Greg [Evigan] a year ago," he jokingly said his TV daughter, Staci Keanan, "must be 77 now."
The father role is becoming second nature to Reiser lately, not only because of his own kids, but also because of his upcoming film projects. Reiser currently has two movies in the works where he plays a father: the "very funny comedy" Life After Beth starring John C. Reilly, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick, and the "great father-son story" Whiplash starring Miles Teller.
"I play dads now," Reiser said.
As for whether or not the family man will write another book, The New York Times bestselling author admitted he never planned on writing the ones he did—The New York Times bestseller Couplehood, its follow-up Babyhood and his most recent book, Familyhood—but joked that the next one would have to be called Deathhood.
For now, fans will just have to see Reiser come full circle when he returns to the stage this Friday and Saturday inside the Suncoast Showroom. Show time is at 7:30 p.m. and tickets start at just $15.95, plus tax and convenience fees. To purchase your tickets, call 702.636-7075 or simply click here.

New Advances in Excitonics Promise Faster Computers
By Dario Borghino in Gizmag, October 1, 2009
Much of today's research in electronics is geared towards obtaining faster computing and higher communication speeds. Researchers at UC San Diego are no exception, and have recently announced they have made another important step towards achieving exciton-based computation at room temperatures. Excitonics exploits the unique properties of excitons instead of the usual electrons, and promises much faster performance by interfacing more naturally with optical communications such as fiber optics.
The findings were published in the advance issue of the journal Nature Photonics, and are a follow-up on the team's previous work on the subject, in which they demonstrated an exciton-based integrated circuit working at 1.5 K (around -272 °C), a temperature that can only be achieved in specialized research laboratories.
This time, the team managed to build an integrated circuit operating at temperatures of 125 K (about -148 °C). While this is still far from the general idea of warm, it is nonetheless a big step towards the ultimate goal of making exciton-based devices work at room temperatures. Temperatures around 100 K are, in fact, within the reach of a much broader community of researchers, because they can be easily reached with commercially-available liquid nitrogen.

While felines have been hitting the headlines, Zealandia staff recently welcomed two canines to the sanctuary – to sniff out the genetically-challenged little spotted kiwi for Victoria University PhD researcher Helen Taylor.
Percy and Breeze may belong to a species known as one of the biggest killers of kiwi, but dog handlers James Fraser and Natasha Coad have trained these two English setters to sniff out kiwi, whio, pāteke, snipe and kākāpō to aid their conservation. Fraser and Coad run their own business "With a Nose for Conservation" from Akaroa, contracting to DOC and other organisations. This time the team were employed to locate five little spotted kiwi males who had dropped their transmitters, plus extras if possible for Taylor's study of the Zealandia and Long Island populations.
"We actually found 30 birds, in just four days, and 10 of those were littlies, which is great to see. Every bird we found was in good condition – which means they're all finding enough food and aren't having to fight too much over territory" said Fraser.
Taylor takes genetic samples from all the birds found, which she can use to show the parentage and relationships between them. With kiwi, the males sit on the egg, rather than the female and over the upcoming breeding season Taylor aims to track at least 24 males at Zealandia, all fitted with special transmitters to help her monitor their breeding success.
With a clever piece of software and some local volunteer help Taylor can detect which males are incubating eggs without having to directly check the birds each week.
"A tiny mercury switch in the transmitter translates the movement of the bird into information; that information is sent out as a pattern of beeps we can pick up with a receiver. It still means someone has to be there to listen in but we don't have to use cameras or enter the nest each week" said Taylor.
Little spotted kiwi are the smallest and second rarest species of kiwi (around 1700 alive today) but thanks to conservation efforts on 7 offshore Islands plus Zealandia's 'mainland Island' they are the least threatened, with a conservation status of 'Recovering'. However, all little spotted kiwi alive today stem from just five birds thought to have been transferred to Kapiti Island almost 100 years ago. It is the effects of this 'genetic bottleneck' that Taylor's research seeks to expose.
Despite the limited gene pool, Zealandia Conservation Manager Raewyn Empson has seen an impressive growth rate of kiwi at the sanctuary.
"We transferred 40 little spots here from Kapiti during 2000 and 2001 and the latest estimate is around 120 birds so they have done incredibly well and we're really pleased with their success. It's great to receive extra information on our birds from Helen's research and it shows how vital our links with Victoria University are. We both benefit from working together – plus it's a pretty convenient location!"
Taylor hopes her findings will help lay out a more certain future for little spotted kiwi.
"The main purpose of my PhD is to try and inform the conservation management strategy for these birds. Hopefully, the results we generate will be useful for planning future translocations and sanctuary areas for little spots. It's really time and labour intensive and I couldn't do it without my volunteers so it's lucky that there's such a great group of them at Zealandia who are willing to help out. I've been bowled over by people's enthusiasm and dedication to this project."
Mystery of the founding five
Hugh Robertson heads up the Kiwi Recovery Programme for DOC and is a recognised kiwi expert but even he can't be sure about the exact 'bottleneck' size little spotted kiwi went through or who moved them to Kapiti Island:
"The record states five 'kiwi' were introduced to Kapiti Island from Jackson Bay on 12 October 1912 (along with 3 kakapo) and we think these were the founders of the Kapiti population."
"(Early conservationist) Richard Henry was ranger on Kapiti from 1908, but I don't know if he was still there in 1912. It seems likely that he would have been involved in some way, but again no proof exists that I am aware of."
Extra information:
"It's been really interesting to be able to watch the behaviour of these birds up close, including the interactions between pairs and the interest that female birds show in the nests. Other than laying the eggs, the role of female LSK in reproduction is unclear, as it's only the male who incubates the egg, but when we stake out nests at night to catch chicks for the study, the female will often come around to check out what's happening, sometime even grunting to the male who's still in the nest. It may be that there's a stronger family dynamic at play than previously supposed." – Helen Taylor
Around four little spotted kiwi were found on D'Urville Island, two of which survive on Long Island today but do not appear to have bred successfully. Victoria University research indicates the entire Long Island LSK population stems from just two Kapiti birds.

Day the Earth Stood Still Movie Reviews
Day the Earth Stood Still
Release Date: Dec 12, 2008
Genre: SciFi/Fantasy
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Day the Earth Stood Still
Classic Sci-fi back on the Big Screen. Though it has been a long time since viewing the original version, they were able to pull off a decent remake. There are some great effects, not necessarily new effects, but at least the updates are admirable. The spooky old-style soundtrack effects added a nice nostalgic feel. All of the actors did a great job and John Cleese's presence was iconic.
The only real downfall was the ending. There should have been a little bit more to the use of special effects. Also, it would have been nice too see how the overall outcome would take its tole on the future of Earth. Still worth checking out.
3 Stars.
If you only see 150 movies this year, put this one on your list. A depressing reminder of why Hollywood will put itself out of business. It's written for idiots and takes away any of the impact of the original idea. There are some laughably awful lines. It reduces Reeves and the great Kathy Bates to cartoons of themselves. The whole thing is so transparent, and the effects so obligatory it becomes a slap in the face of the public who some money hungry producers assume will eat anything served on a platter with enough publicity. What a scam. That's not to say its as bad as some, just insulting and useless.
I was hoping the aliens would destroy the earth so I wouldn\'t have to watch Jaden Smith anymore. Let\'s see, Klaatu comes to earth to determine whether humans are worth saving. So the first thing that happens is the humans shoot him and take him prisoner, great impression. However, Klaatu decides earth is worth saving because the white woman loves the bratty african-american child. Please, kill me.
I enjoyed the experience, especially the performance by young Smith. I thought Reeves and Connelly could have had more interaction yet that did not spoil it for me. Also I liked the special effects and the soundtrack. The environmental and spiritual messages were well received by this viewer!
The Day the Earth Stood Still starts out with such promise, but that quickly fizzles out despite an array of special effects. Perhaps it should have been titled The Two Hours the Movie Stood Still. Menacing aliens might just be thinking about destroying our planet. Exciting, compelling and suspenseful, right? Not in this movie. I found myself not really caring. Just destroy us already, aliens, if this is the best we can do. It didn't help that the movie pounded home the obligatory politically correct "message" as the reason the aliens are doing all of this, or that these sophisticated ET's couldn't have thought of several better solutions just as I, an inferior earth being, managed to do in about ten seconds. Perhaps if there had been some chemistry among the stars this movie would have had more appeal. But, as I learned in chemistry class, sometimes you mix two perfectly good substances and nothing happens. They are inert, which is the direction I found my mind going watching this film. If you must see it, wait for the video. Then at least you can get up to make a sandwich while the alien Klaatu ponders the direction of our future. Or better yet, find the original flick from 1951. It's weak on special effects, long on story, making it diametrically the opposite of this remake.
Sorry, but I was also very disappointed with this much-advertised movie, considering I've seen the 1951 version maybe 10 times and would see again!!
Evidently, I've become very "de-sensitized" by the extreme violence on TV and in movies, as I kept "waiting" for eye-boggling special effects in this new movie version, but that never happened!
Also, I didn't understand how the obvious psychological problems of the step-son related to the theme of the movie, unless his eventual reconciliation with the step-Mother/Scientist was one of the "reasons" why the aliens should re-consider eliminating all humanity from the planet!?!?
The very modern "Gort" was awesome with a much more flexible and realistic body; obviously, a believable take-off from some video-game!
I was intrigued by the part where Gorts eye-beam "followed" the scientist back-and-forth as he walked in front of the robot!
That menacing stare made me somewhat apprehensive, but only for a few seconds as the rest of the show had me looking at my Watch because nothing unusually spectacular happened after that scene.
I'll spend $7. at the box-office again BUT ONLY because I promised my grandson "we'd see that movie together!"
I liked this movie. And I think Keanu Reeves does a really good job when he plays a guy that doesn't have to emote at all. Actually come to think of it I believe that's the only type of character he's played in the last five years … but I digress. This was a fun movie with a bit of social commentary in it. If you like science fiction and the government playing the bad guy then you will like this film. Kathie Bates is always good in whatever roll she plays. And John Cleese, I could write odes to that man. If ever there was a film icon Mr. Cleese would be it. Anyways he was good in the film too. I also thought it had an interesting story line, showing how humans were in fact killing the world.
The one thing I am not a fan of is throwing kids into films just so they can be little brats and do things that kids probably wouldn't do just so your story can move a certain way. In general I am not a fan of kids in movies, they aren't cute leave them out they are just annoying and I really think Jaden Smith doesn't help. But that's just my opinion some people love kids in film.
Overall I liked the Day The Earth Stood Still. It won't win any awards but that's not what they were going for. Check it out if you like action and science fiction.
I was intrigued by the previews for this remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, but the movie simply didn't live up to them. Like the recent remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, it seems to lack any real purpose. It's more like Steven Spielberg's World of the Worlds, in some ways, than The Day The Earth Stood Still. It's a summer blockbuster released for some reason in the dead of winter. Sometimes it succeeds as that brand of escapist fare, and there's nothing wrong with that per se.
But in many ways, it's a mess. The story seems interesting at first, capturing a very realistic unease surrounding humans' first contact with aliens. But it just becomes a boring parade of clichés after a while, and the most intriguing questions about humanity's future never really get answered.
One stand-out detail, however, is the updating of Gort, the robot (it's not exactly accurate to say he's a robot in this version, but close enough). He's even more impressive in this version than he was in the original, proving Hollywood's progress isn't all bad.
It's easy to pick on remakes of great films, but The Day the Earth Stood Still is an interesting update to Robert Wise's classic. First of all, while the original is still great, let's be honest, it does feel dated. For this version, director Scott Derrickson has updated the message, and it's a timely one. The idea in Wise's film was groundbreaking for its time—perhaps it's not an alien invasion we should worry about, but the harm we can do to our own planet. Once again, our danger to ourselves is front and center here, but it's no longer nuclear war that the movie is worried about. It's an environmental message this time, and the "solution,†as it plays out, is pretty shocking. It leaves an impression and like the original gives the audience something to think about after its over.
Yes, this is a film for different times. The focus is a lot more on action and effects than the original. Keanu Reeves' Klaatu is not as interesting a character as Michael Rennie's was in 1951. But Derrickson is to be commended for balancing the demands of today's movie crowds with classic intelligent sci-fi. He's been trying to get this movie made for years, and his concern for making the best remake possible shows all the way through.
A huge disappointment even with a great cast. Story was never fully explained, and we didn\'t get to see much of the \"stood still\" part either. The old movie was way better. Yes we don\'t deserve this planet, but we don\'t deserve this crappy movie either.

The program will clear and mow overgrown lots, remove abandoned vehicles and take other measures to clean up the area bounded by Perkins Road to the south, Wells Street to the north, College Drive to the east and Delta Street to the west.

Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- Drexel Stewart, 87, homeowner, seated, talks about Operation Restore Pride, as Carl Harris, center, and Donald Spurlock, right, paint the side of his house in the Valley Park neighborhood Monday. Operation Restore Pride was established by Mayor Kip Holden to clean up distressed Baton Rouge neighborhoods. Steven Ward | Advocate staff writer July 25, 2013; 3:10 p.m. Comments Drexel Stewart's Barber Street home in the Valley Park neighborhood of Baton Rouge was the first house on the street. Back in 1949, Stewart didn't have electricity, gas or water. "The bathroom was outside and I used butane to cook," Stewart, 87, said Monday morning outside of the home he built 64 years ago. Stewart spent some time Monday recalling what it was like to live in Valley Park in the 1940s Monday while four city-parish Office of Community Development employees painted Stewart's house a light gray. Stewart's neighborhood doesn't look like it did in the years right after World War II. One of Baton Rouge's lower income neighborhoods, Valley Park is punctuated with overgrown weeds, dilapidated houses, and faded graffiti. Valley Park looks rough. Baton Rouge neighborhoods that look rough are the targets of the city-parish's seven-year-old Operation Restore Pride program. Using federal grant money aimed at beautification, Mayor-President Kip Holden created the program after taking office in 2006 in an effort to clean up distressed neighborhoods. Holden had the city-parish broken down into eight regions and the zip codes with the lowest incomes were chosen for the program. The first neighborhood in 2006 to get help from Operation Restore Pride was Zion City. After that, Brookstown, Eden Park and Melrose East all received program help. Holden held a news conference Monday morning in front of the New Gideon Baptist Church on Balis Drive in the middle of Valley Park to kick off a week of sprucing up work to be completed in the neighborhood by the end of the week. Holden said beautification becomes a public safety issue in a blighted neighborhood whether the distressed neighborhood attracts mosquitoes and rodents or drug dealers breaking the law. When asked if ever sees drug dealers in his neighborhood, Stewart nodded. "There are drugs all over. I see it all the time. When you see so many cars all going to just one house, you can bet that its (drug dealing) going on," Stewart said. Stewart's home is one of three owned by Valley Park seniors that financially qualified to have some minor work done this week as part of the program. "It's wonderful," Stewart said when asked about the beautification efforts in Valley Park as well as the paint job his house was getting Monday. "I can't do it. And I can't pay someone to do it. When you just live off your social security, it's hard," Stewart said. Holden called the smiles and thanks he gets on the program from residents such as Stewart "priceless." "Some of these people haven't been able to afford to get work done to their homes since Hurricane Katrina," Holden said. "You just can't let people live in squalor," Holden said. Besides cutting overgrown lots, removing abandoned vehicles and cleaning up graffiti, the Baton Rouge Fire Department will be handing out fire alarms and showing Valley Park residents how to use them.

First Baptist is located in the small community of Pound, WI. Originally known as the Polish Baptist Church, it was, for a time, the largest Polish Baptist congregation in the United States. In 1948 the church voted to change the language to English and the name to First Baptist Church.
Today, First Baptist is a thriving congregation of the redeemed who worship our Savior, evangelize the lost and serve our community as the hands and feet of Christ.

Fans of Robin Williams stopped what they were doing when they heard the news of the star's death and went to Hollywood. The outpouring of love in Hollywood is overwhelming and people have been pouring in to the area since the news of the entertainer's death went public. According to Pix 11 on Monday, Williams' star is at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has flowers surrounding it. The star's neighbors on the sidewalk are Rex Harrison and Burgess Meredith.
When visiting the star on Monday afternoon, I noticed there wasn't a dry eye on the street. Fans who want to pay tribute to the entertainer definitely don't need an address to find the star in Hollywood. A crowd of sad people have been gathering around the area since the news of Robin's death broke. With tears running down their faces, flowers in their arms and a lack of understanding found in their hearts, fans were sharing moments on how Williams' work once impacted their lives.
Taking pictures of the five point star that is cemented into the sidewalk, fans have been posing all afternoon. Hundreds of pictures of Williams' iconic star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame have been uploaded on social media as people reflect on the actor's life.
The news of Robin Williams' death has surprised and shocked the entertainment world and Hollywood has been hit hard. While no formal announcement has been made on what public (or private) memorials might be offered for people to attend the sadness found in Hollywood won't be going away anytime soon. People are already making arrangements to come to Hollywood this weekend to pay tribute to the man and his work.
Robin Williams was an iconic figure in the entertainment world. He had a career that spanned over 40 years and his fans have taken the news of his death hard. Expect to see a crowd around Robin Williams' star all week in Hollywood and maybe even longer. Robin Williams made millions of people laugh and he will surely be missed.

Early in today's trading session, the December British Pound broke through the last swing bottom at 1.6063. The series of lower-tops and lower-bottoms clearly signify that the Sterling is in a downtrend.
Based on the rally from the August 28 bottom at 1.5747 to the September 21 top at 1.6304, a new retracement zone has been created at 1.6026 to 1.5960.
Overnight, the futures contract broke to the weakside of a downtrending Gann angle at 1.6084. This is today's resistance. The next support is an uptrending Gann angle from the 1.5747 bottom. This angle is at 1.6027.
The intersection of the uptrending Gann angle and the horizontal 50% level has formed a potential downside target and support cluster at 1.6027 to 1.6026. Traders should watch for a technical bounce following the first test of this area. A trade through it could run sell stops into the Fibonacci level at 1.5960.
Fundamentally, expectations of a weaker economy continue to pressure the Sterling. U.K. industrial production is expected to show a drop of 0.5 percent in August. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research will also announce its estimate for third-quarter gross domestic product after the production numbers are released.
Although there are economic factors to consider, the biggest influences on the British Pound will continue to be the lingering sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the global economic slowdown. Risk-off scenarios should continue to pressure the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen.
