The Story (continued)
Apocalypse Now (1979)
The next morning, Willard is found imprisoned and standing upright in a tiger cage. Surrounding the cage are other slaughtered bodies lying about (with the sound of buzzing flies). The prisoner is interrogated in a one-sided, convoluted conversation with the photojournalist who circles around the cage:
Why would a nice guy like you wanna kill a genius?...Do you know that the man really likes you? He likes you. He really likes you. But he's got something in mind for you. Aren't you curious about that?...There's something happening out here, man....I know something that you don't know. That's right, Jack. The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad. Oh, yeah. He's dying, I think. He hates all of this. He hates it, but the man's, uh. He reads poetry outloud, all right?...He likes you 'cause you're still alive. He's got plans for you. No, no, I'm not gonna help you. You're gonna help him, man...I mean, what are they gonna say, man, when he's gone, huh? 'Cause he dies when it dies, man. When it dies, he dies. What are they gonna say about him? What are they gonna say? He was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had plans? He had wisdom? Bulls--t, man! Am I gonna be the one that's gonna set them straight? Look at me. Wrong! (Pointing with a jabbing index finger) You!
After eight hours of waiting on the boat, Chef calls in on the radio, and identifies himself as the "PBR Street Gang" to Almighty. A pair of feet ominously approach the tiger cage, where Willard is bound like an animal. During the rainy night, he looks up to witness the evil Kurtz's atrocities first hand - he sees Kurtz approach wearing camouflage paint on his face, illuminated by the light of the fire. The hungry and terrorized man is presented with Chef's grotesquely severed head in his lap. The scene fades to black.
Through a sun-lit opening in a new, walled-in prison enclosure, children (and bald-headed Kurtz) view Willard and wave their hands through the slit.
[Apocalypse Now Redux:
Kurtz' character is more fully revealed (both in the daylight and through his interactions) as he speaks to captive Willard in a metal shed. He more clearly explains his bizarre and renegade defection from the world (and society) and muses over the insanity of war. In a monologue, Kurtz quotes an actual lie-riddled, flag-waving, weekly Time news magazine article while surrounded by children. He unmasks deceit and disparity concerning the war while reading the American media's news magazine and its political assessments of the military situation in Vietnam:
"September 22, 1967, Volume 90, number 12. The War on the Horizon. The American people may find it hard to believe that the US is winning the war in Vietnam. Nevertheless, one of the most exhaustive inquiries into the status of the conflict yet compiled offers considerable evidence that the weight of US power two-and-a-half years after the big buildup began is beginning to make itself felt. White House officials maintain the impact of that strength may bring the enemy to the point where he could simply be unable to continue fighting."
Is this familiar?
"Because Lyndon Johnson fears that the US public is in no mood to accept its optimistic conclusions, he may never permit the report to be released in full. Even so, he is sufficiently impressed with the findings and sufficiently anxious to make their conclusions known to permit experts who have been working on it to talk about it in general terms."
No date, Time Magazine.
He also mocks American intelligence operations:
"Sir Robert Thompson who led the victory over Communist guerrillas in Malaya is now a RAND Corporation consultant recently returned to Vietnam to sound out the situation for President Nixon. He told the president last week that things felt much better and smelled much better over there."
How do they smell to you, soldier? (He stands.) You'll be free. You'll be under guard. Read these at your leisure. Don't lose them. Don't try to escape. You'll be shot. We can talk of these things later.]
Willard is released from the metal cage and kept alive with water and rice by the mercy of his captor, for some purpose known only to Kurtz. While Willard recovers from his ordeal, the Colonel reads to him from T. S. Eliot's poem The Hollow Men. [Eliot was inspired to write this poem by Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.]
We are the hollow men.
We are the stuffed men leaning together at peace filled with straw.
Alas, our dried voices when we whisper together are quiet and meaningless as wind in dry grass, or a rat's feet over broken glass in a dry cellar.
Shape without form, shade without color, paralyzed force, gesture without motion.
The unglued photojournalist interjects his own pronouncements about dialectics during the reading, recalling the words of the French widow about duality. He reveals that he has reached his own personal end:
He's really out there...Do you know what the man's saying? Do you? This is dialectics. It's very simple dialectics. One through nine. No maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space. You can't go out in space, you know, without like, you know, with fractions. What are you gonna land on? One-quarter? Three-eighths? What are you gonna do when you go from here to Venus, or something? That's dialectic physics, OK. Dialectic logic is, there's only love and hate. You either love somebody or you hate 'em...This is the way the f---ing world ends. Look at this f---ing shit we're in, man. Not with a bang. A whimper. And with a whimper, I'm f---ing splitting, Jack.
[His words are derived from the poem's famous last two lines that he has undoubtedly heard many times: "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper."]
In voice-over, Willard feels ambivalent about his mission's task, finding Kurtz brilliant but rambling and spiritually troubled - as the camera pretentiously pans across mythic texts in Kurtz's headquarters (The Holy Bible, From Ritual to Romance by Jesse L. Weston [this book inspired T.S. Eliot's poem "The Wasteland"], and James Frazier's The Golden Bough):
On the river, I thought that the minute I looked at him, I'd know what to do, but it didn't happen. I was in there with him for days, not under guard. I was free, but he knew I wasn't going anywhere. He knew more about what I was gonna do than I did. If the generals back in Nha Trang could see what I saw, would they still want me to kill him? More than ever probably. And what would his people back home want if they ever learned just how far from them he'd really gone? He broke from them and then he broke from himself. I'd never seen a man so broken up and ripped apart.
Kurtz speaks of the "horrors" that he has seen in the bloody conflict, and denies that Willard has any moral right to judge his actions or behavior:I've seen the horrors, horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that - but you have no right to judge me.
Kurtz also believes that "moral terror" and "horror" are necessary to preserve civilization as he philosophizes with further pronouncements:
It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face. And you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.
Willard also listens to Kurtz - in a major monologue meditating on life and death - as he recalls a turning point in his life. It was an incident from his American Special Forces days a few years earlier (it "seems a thousand centuries ago") when Vietcong guerrillas came into a native village and hacked off the left arms of South Vietnamese children who had been inoculated against polio by his Special Forces:
I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We'd left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio. And this old man came running after us, and he was crying. He couldn't say. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were, in a pile - a pile of little arms. And I remember, I...I...I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized - like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond, a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, 'My God, the genius of that. The genius.' The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure! And then I realized, they were stronger than me because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men -- trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts who have families, who have children, who are filled with love - that they had the strength, the strength to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill - without feeling, without passion, without judgment - without judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us.
Kurtz believes the atrocities revealed for him the moral strength and commitment of men who loved their families and could still act so monstrously "without judgment" - with a primordial instinct to kill. According to him, those revelations have accentuated the moral ambiguity of war and justified his rampage in Cambodia - a mass-murder and mutilation of the enemy "without judgment," to shorten the war. [The Killing Fields (1984) was also about the 'secret' war and bombing of Cambodia to drive out the Khmer Rouge - that ultimately led to an internal bloodbath. Swimming to Cambodia (1987) was a semi-comic monologue by actor Spalding Grey, dealing - amongst other things - with his experiences as a bit player during the filming of The Killing Fields (1984).] Kurtz wants primitive men, similar to agent Willard on his mission, who can kill without judgment "because it's judgment that defeats us." The conventional war effort of Americans (with high-tech bombs and other machines and weapons of war, and a judgmental news media) will ultimately be defeated by triumphant opposition forces of primitives that are committed and determined.
The berserk Colonel tells Willard that his chief worry is that his son back home won't understand him after he has been assassinated, that he might judge his father's raids to be atrocities:
I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything. Everything I did, everything you saw. Because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me, Willard, you - you will do this for me.
The scene shifts to preparations for a caribou sacrifice, even as Kurtz commands Willard to preserve the truth about him. (Lance blends in with the native peoples, with his face paint, loin-cloth, and half-naked body.) Willard has returned to the patrol boat, where the radio transmission from Almighty startles him (the radio's voice questions his next move: "This is Almighty standing by. How do you copy?")
Accepting the inevitable, Willard is poised to kill Kurtz as an act of mercy. In a climactic moral battle that rages within himself (in voice-over), he questions his own commanding officers. Though secretly identifying with and admiring Kurtz, Willard understands that he must perform his God-given duty as an officially-sanctioned assassin - who makes no judgments about his orders:
They were going to make me a Major for this and I wasn't even in their f---in' army any more. Everybody wanted me to do it. Him most of all. I felt like he was up there, waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out like a soldier, standing up. Not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead, and that's who he really took his orders from anyway.
He slips off the boat and approaches toward the sacrificial temple. Waiting in his temple headquarters, Kurtz allows Willard to carry out his sacrificial mission that night. Willard's head rises up out of the steamy primordial depths of filthy water as he begins (and ends) his quest, to seek out his prey for the slaughter - the imposing, bullish Kurtz. Lightning strobe effects and the frenzied rhythmic sounds of the Doors' The End accompany the stalking and slaying of Kurtz with a machete.
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus tonight...
Kurtz is reading into a tape recorder in his quarters, faced sideways before the golden light of his inner sanctum.
We train young men to drop fire on people but their commanders won't allow them to write 'FUCK' on their airplanes because it's obscene.
He turns and permits his own sacrifice when he sees Willard approaching. It is a ritualistic slaughter, brilliantly cross-cut with the brutal sacrificial killing of a carabao/water buffalo by the natives as a ritualistic sacrifice to their gods. As he dies on the ground, Kurtz mutters a few final, dying words, accepting the evil present in the human soul:
The horror. The horror.
[The words duplicated the last words in Joseph Conrad's story upon which the film was based, Heart of Darkness.]
The old king/chieftain of the people is sacrificed, in order for the land to become liberated. As Willard exits from the compound, his eye catches one of Kurtz' type-written documents, where he reads "Drop the Bomb - Exterminate Them All!' scrawled in red ink across one page. For a brief moment, he sits at Kurtz' desk, contemplating the opportunity to take the Colonel's place as a new god and king. The subservient villagers bow down to their new powerful god-like leader, and although he is tempted, Willard refuses to bask in their reverence. With the bloody machete and Kurtz' papers in hand, Willard is given a path through the awed, native throng. They lay down their weapons as he passes. [This climactic scene has a surprising, uncanny resemblance to an unlikely film, The Wizard of Oz (1939). The hero, who has journeyed to a strange land, is worshipped by the local people after vanquishing their god-like leader and liberating them. The Wicked Witch of the East is eliminated, as are the Wizard and Kurtz - who are similarly bald, oppressive, and usually hidden from view).]
With his bloody mission accomplished, Willard guides stoned-out Lance to the patrol boat so that they can begin their return journey. They retreat in the gunboat as the natives close in on them on the banks. As they pull away, a cleansing hard rain begins to fall and static-filled radio transmissions from Almighty play on the soundtrack. Willard abruptly shuts off the radio (preventing an immediate airstrike?). During a series of slow dissolving images, Kurtz's last words are echoed again.
A. The film fades to black. [The closing credits roll and are played silently against a solid-black background. These credits were added to the film's 35mm screenings.]
Two Other Treatments of the Ending and Credits:
B. In the 70mm version of the film (for its initial limited release), there were no opening titles or closing credits for the film (nothing but a one-line copyright notice at the end of the film) - printed credit booklets were issued to audiences, but this became impractical when the film was distributed more extensively.
C. Director Coppola fiddled over what would be the 'final cut' version of the 35mm film, so various editing and differing release versions were screened at showings in 1978 and 1979 - many with alternative endings that ultimately were not used. Many theatre-goers at the time recollect this alternative ending -- as Willard and Lance started downriver, the credits rolled over surrealistic (even psychedelic) explosions of the temple, Kurtz compound, and the burning jungle. (According to Coppola, this left-over footage made a good visual backdrop for the credits.) The Philippine government required the destruction of the Kurtz compound after filming ended - and this footage was used over the closing 35mm credits, but never became part of the 'final cut' (Part A above).
Were the explosions the result of an airstrike? [The explosions recall one of Kurtz' type-written documents titled "Drop the Bomb - Exterminate Them All!']
[Apocalypse Now Redux: Conventional end credits are played at the film's conclusion - after the fade to black. Non-scrolling white text on a black background.]

Could this motor be permanently mounted to the underside of a sail boat and used as the main propulsion system in a saltwater environment?
6 months ago
- Florida(read all my Q&A)
A:No, the EM is designed specifically for installation on the anti-cavitation of an outboard or IO lower unit on a planning typed boat hull (a hull that lifts the EM motors out of the water when the boat is "on plane"). Mounting the EM motor on the rudder of a sailboat is not what the EM motor was designed for and would add considerable drag to the boat when under sail.

Republican Tom Emmer is targeting Independence Party candidate Tom Horner's past PR contracts with state government. In a news release, Emmer criticized Horner for receiving government contracts during his time at Himle Horner (read the story here). Here's the release from Emmer:
"No wonder Tom Horner wants to raise billions in new taxes and grow government at a double-digit percentage increase. Horner has milked government for millions of dollars in lucrative contracts," Emmer said at a campaign appearance in Faribault. "Tom Horner wants to maintain business-as-usual even though voters know that the status quo is not working."
The Star Tribune reported today that Tom Horner's firm Himle Horner has received millions from state and local governments to write speeches, rehab the Department of Transportation's image after the 35W bridge collapse, and for work on the Northstar commuter rail project.
"Tom Horner believes that struggling Minnesota families and businesses owe government more of their money in the worst economy in two generations to help line Mr. Horner's pockets. My perspective is different: I think government should do its most important tasks well, but we can only create jobs and keep our economy moving by making government live within its means."
Horner campaign spokesman Matt Lewis issued this statement on Emmer's critcism.
Any candidate for governor who views his opponent's demonstrated ability to work with local units of government as a detriment is going to have some serious problems trying to lead the state of Minnesota.
But on a larger note, is this a game that Rep. Emmer really wants to play? Tom Horner's public clients have always been visible. Horner actually took the extraordinary step of completely divesting from his firm and relieving himself of all clients and all potential conflicts of interest.
It's more than we ask of Rep. Emmer and other sitting legislators. We don't even require that Rep. Emmer tell us which industries and clients he is representing while he is actually voting as a member of the legislature. But I don't care to get into a back and forth on who Rep. Emmer. I think Minnesotans are focused on the policies and the vision that all three candidates are offering in this election, Rep. Emmer's ideas included. And when past clients have arisen in policy discussions Tom Horner has actively volunteered that info.
Horner has a background of working with a wide range of groups from Northstar, as Rep. Emmer suggests, to the Hospitals, to Project 515 to the Chamber of Commerce, which endorsed Rep. Emmer. Mr. Horner has run a business, has been active in organizations ranging from Catholic Charities to Serve Minnesota, has run a U.S. Senate office, taught at St. Thomas and done much more. All of these experiences help shape his knowledge and ability to create coalitions around key issues facing the state.
Since he brought up the budget though, I also think that his campaign needs to address the reality that MPR's PoliGraph pointed out last week.
Emmer isn't the only one targeting Horner. The DFL Party is criticizing Horner in a new web video. They argue he's ignoring the problems facing the middle class.

I'd also echo Marcia's comments and suggest that an exact match between the words in a meta element and the words on a page is not really the issue - what's required is a relationship between the contents of both, and if it's SEO you're after, a relationship that your target search engine is capable of identifying.

I'd agree that meta keywords are a waste of time, apart from perhaps a few very fringe cases.

Personally, I think the keywords meta element has so little weight that you'd be hard pressed to do anything that qualified as 'bad'. The strongest I'd go for would be 'pointless'.
I agree. It's almost pointless to spend effort thinking about the keywords meta.
That said, if your page were ever flagged for manual review and you had a ridiculously spammy keywords meta, I tend to think that it would work against you with the manual reviewer.
Also, an historical footnote... way back, when Inktomi had a search engine, there was a time when they did look at meta keywords, and I remember one Inktomi search engineer telling me that they considered metas in the keywords that weren't also on the page as a spam signal.
More recently, several years back, Yahoo was hinting that they did look at meta keywords. The search boost that a meta keyword might provide for a word that might generally be found on pages was probably infinitesimally small, but it was thought that the inclusion might help with misspellings. I don't know where they are on this now.

These days the most common advice I give about meta keywords is: delete them, and don't spend any more time on them.
Yes, I completely agree. I've just been omitting the tag for a while now. There was a point where I was including keyword metas for "bookkeeping" purposes (or perhaps for the rare directory that might want to use them), but they're really not worth the effort.

Nice write up, let us know how they work on the range. I see it does change the profile a bit.
This is a discussion on Tritium/Fiber Optic Hanggun Sights for my XD-45 within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have been using the TruGlo brand fiber optic sights on my hunting bow for years now, so I had my dealer order a set ...
I have been using the TruGlo brand fiber optic sights on my hunting bow for years now, so I had my dealer order a set of their Tritium/Fiber Optic Handgun Sights for my XD-45. All I can say is WOW!!! They are amazingly bright in the daylight and the lime green is surrounded by enough black that they don't dissappear against a foliage background. I had to wait until the evening to really be able to see the brightness of the tritium running through the fiber, and it is bright but not too bright. The large fibers really enhance the ability to line up the sights without problems in the dark.
I only have one concern. These are made for the XD pistols (TG131XT) and not Glock sights (TG131TG1 or 2) installed on the XD, and there is a very visible gap between the bottom of the sight and the top of the slide, about the thickness of one of my standard business cards. I really don't think this will matter functionally, it's just a asthetic matter to me.
One thing I was wondering about before installation, was if the tritium vial will light up the exposed fiber on the top of the sight, in the dark, making it glow when the gun is in the holster and the rear sight is exposed. Yes it is concealed under a shirt or some other cover garment, but could still put off a slight glow through the fabric. It does not.....only the end of the fiber glows and the front of the sight (facing the bad guy) is closed, to house the tritium vial and can't be seen. I am guessing this is inherent to the fiber design.
I had the sights installed by my local gunsmith who has the proper type of pusher vise to do the job without damage to either seg of sights. He did tell me that the rear factory sight on the XD's he has replaced are the tights of all the sights he works with, and wouldn't you know it that he said myne were almost impossible to get out. Installed the sights and labor for installation ran me a few pennies past $110.00. I must say thay change the profile greatly. The front sight is looong and shortens the sight length by about 3/4". I have no problem with this but others looking for a longer sight to sight length may not like it.
He placed one of the laser bullet sighting devices in the gun and at 20 yards the sights lined up to point of laset dot impact. it top of the sight actually cut right through the middle of the dot, just the way I like it. I have never liked the 6 o'clock sighting hold.
I hope to get to the range next week to check out this alignment. Here are a few pics, so I dont get razzed:

I just got my xd45 today and cant wait to try it out. I had an xd40 sub before and it was stolen. I have to say I am very impressed with springfield on these. I dont mean to be rude but those sights look terrible from the side. I am wanting night sights myself but the factory sights look a lot cleaner. Once again please dont take that the wrong way.
speakle,Originally Posted by speakle
I agree.....thats why I dont look at it from the side.....ROFLMAO!!! It takes a lot more than an opinion from someone to get me riled. I do like the way the sights work though. I saw a pair of the non-tritium fiber optics on another XD Sunday and they were half the size of mine. Oh well, I'll just have to live with a gun with loooonnngggg sights.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!!
I have these on my P229 and I love them (I also had them on a Glock 26 I used to own). The sight picture is pretty consistent going from one lighting situation into another, and they are probably the brightest night sights I have ever seen, (I've used both Trijicons and Meps). Not too crazy about the profile either (specially on the 229 since the top of the slide is rounded and the base of the rear sight is flat), and it does shorthen the sight radius a bit, but there are trade-offs for just about anything anymore.

Hope you like them....
Is there a space between the top of the slide and the bottom of the sights?

There is a space between the top pf the slide and the bottom of the rear sight. It is pretty noticeable from the side. I was thinking of manufacturing some sort of filler piece to bridge that gap and give it a more finished appearance.

The Town of Kearny, incorporated in 1898, is a residential, commercial and industrial community, with urban suburban characteristics, that is poised to become a 21 st Century leader in commercial and retail sales and a hub for global operations. Within a mere radius of 250 miles lies one of the richest markets for goods and services in the nation. A number of States as well as over 60 million consumers are all within overnight delivery range of Kearny's producers.
Kearny is surrounded by an enormous concentration of purchasing power, disposable income, and goods and services production. Projections suggest that this translates into the potential for reaching over 20% of the nation's net effective buying power, nearly $800 billion. Approximately 18% of the nation's retail sales, or $255 billion, are derived from these nearby markets. Further, these markets boast one of the highest household incomes in the country, an average of $66,900 per household. As a focal point of these markets, Kearny represents an outstanding staging area for all types of good, products, and services.
Kearny's proximity to the nation's richest markets is overwhelmingly enhanced by its strategic location. Kearny is the epicenter of the Northeast marketplace; the bridge to regional, national and global commerce. Kearny offers access to major highways, world-class air facilities, water ports, and national rail links.
Over the past 11 years, Kearny has implemented one of New Jersey's most successful Urban Enterprise Zone programs. Kearny's Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) is unique because it encompasses both retail and industrial sales sectors. Retail sales immediately jumped in Kearny when the UEZ program was implemented during the 1992 Christmas shopping season. And funds from a rapid increase in retail business are being used to make major improvements in the town's infrastructure, public safety and security and in the shopping district's overall aesthetic appearance. Presently, as Hudson County continues its economic expansion and continues to attract an influx of domestic and global businesses, Kearny has included additional acres of land into its UEZ to further stimulate commercial development. This expanded UEZ will offer business-to-business product suppliers a primary hub for relocation and for locating sales operations.
Kearny will receive even more recognition as the result of the planned infrastructure and ongoing Streetscape improvements that it is undertaking as well as the implementation of its Redevelopment Plans for Passaic and Schuyler Avenues and its over all Zone Strategic Redevelopment Plan.
Although Kearny is experiencing large-scale business growth, its industrial and residential/commercial sections are geographically separated, and that makes this town a great place to both live and work.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Please save youself time and money, and do not use this company. My experience with them was rude from beginning to end, regardless of the representative. I had plans on three vehicles in a row, (I didn't have any of them for very long).
After being suckered into the first policy with the whole "your offer is for this first phone call only" bit, I was essentially bullied into carrying the plan over into the other vehicles. This is partly my fault for not being as strong-willed as I should, but any type of bullying should not be in a business like this. I was once told that I should be thanking the man instead of arguing because he was "my savior" for offering me such a good plan and price under the circumstances.
Each person was not pleasant even through purchasing my plan and then transferring it. However, when I sold the third car and pursued a refund. The process of being told which paperwork was acutually needed to process the refund took a few weeks (it was tough to get a straight answer). Then when it was finally processed, I waited nearly five months for the money. Keep in mind, I never did make a claim on any policy. This was with me calling them at every fake deadline they gave me for when they would have my refund. If I had not kept on them, who knows how long it would have taken, as they clearly had no motivation.
Bottom line, these people should not be in any type of customer interaction business, let alone sales. I cannot speak for the claims process or the warranties they actually sell, as they may be just fine. But as the company who sells these policies, they are terrible all around and should not be allowed to opperate.

Date of Stay: January, 2015
Permanently closed as of Jan 2015. Just the hotel remains in operation.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
The City of Beulah owns this Campground. In the past it was a mobile home court but the city has converted it for RV hookups. The lots are 50 X 100 so there is plenty of room. They just built a comfort station that has a kitchen, showers, bathrooms, laundry, and a TV area. Rent is 300/month, 90/week, 15/night. A lot of workers use it for a place to stay when they are working in town at the power plants. About 5 sites have a cable hookup but you would need to call the cable company and have them activate it under your name. Overall a nice workman campsite.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This campground is a fairly new start up. They are still working on moving some dirt and installing fire rings. I am working at the power plant nearby till early November and the family that runs this campground is very accommodating around my schedule. They have weekly, monthly and yearly rates available. This campground is also set up to stay open after freezing. They have heat tape on a quarter of their water hook ups.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
We love this place. Clean and Family Friendly. We stayed at site 67 for a short week and really couldn't ask for more. We went to Storybook Land, saw a water ski show, played on the beach, rented some bicycles, had campfires every night and slept in. What a great vacation.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
I stayed here while I was working in Enderlin. It is basically a grassy 3 acre field that has 3 full hookups. Nothing special except for a cheap place to stay. The city office was very accommodating around my work schedule. I talked to Cindy who is the City Auditor. This place is not mentioned on the website so make sure you ask if interested.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
A typical city park with some swing sets and a playground. We came up here to play in a softball tourney and the ball diamonds are close by. I enjoyed my stay for a couple of days. It was nice to get away and enjoy the slower life in a smaller town.

A navigating rat animat
Ball, David, Heath, Scott, Milford, Michael, Wyeth, Gordon, & Wiles, Janet (2010) A navigating rat animat. In Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems, MIT Press, Odense, Denmark, pp. 804-811.
Accepted Version
(PDF 608kB)
This paper presents a new rat animat, a rat-sized bio-inspired robot platform currently being developed for embodied cognition and neuroscience research. The rodent animat is 150mm x 80mm x 70mm and has a different drive, visual, proximity, and odometry sensors, x86 PC, and LCD interface. The rat animat has a bio-inspired rodent navigation and mapping system called RatSLAM which demonstrates the capabilities of the platform and framework. A case study is presented of the robot's ability to learn the spatial layout of a figure of eight laboratory environment, including its ability to close physical loops based on visual input and odometry. A firing field plot similar to rodent 'non-conjunctive grid cells' is shown by plotting the activity of an internal network. Having a rodent animat the size of a real rat allows exploration of embodiment issues such as how the robot's sensori-motor systems and cognitive abilities interact. The initial observations concern the limitations of the deisgn as well as its strengths. For example, the visual sensor has a narrower field of view and is located much closer to the ground than for other robots in the lab, which alters the salience of visual cues and the effectiveness of different visual filtering techniques. The small size of the robot relative to corridors and open areas impacts on the possible trajectories of the robot. These perspective and size issues affect the formation and use of the cognitive map, and hence the navigation abilities of the rat animat.

(IDAHO FALLS, ID) – Dozens of drivers were involved in weather-related accidents around the region Saturday. A three-car pileup involving a semi-trailer along I-15 south of Idaho Falls sent one person to the hospital. Police responded to several slide-offs on I-15 near Inkom as well, two of which resulted in drivers being taken by ambulance to Portneuf Medical Center. At least one fatality was reported in the Gem State Saturday as well when the driver of an SUV was struck by a semi-truck near Caldwell. Authorities are urging drivers to slow down, especially on freeways and highways.

hi guys,
ive replaced the rear brake pipes on my e53 4.6 v8 x5 as they failed MOT, ive found major problem bleeding the fluid from the caliper, the fluid will only trickle out rather than pressurised. there are no kinks or tight bends in the pipes and when i removed the connector on the chassis leg brake pipe the fluid pressure is the same.
is there a certain way of bleeding these systems? ive tried manually bleeding it, pressure bleeding and reverse bleeding (from the caliper back)
is there a pressure sensor on the abs pump that may be affecting this?
thanks in advance guys

NFL Superstar Blasts the League's Marijuana Policy
Retired football star Ricky Williams is speaking out against the NFL's marijuana policy in an exclusive, tell-all interview with The National Marijuana News. In 2004, Williams made headlines by retiring from professional football after testing positive for pot and being served with a $650,000 fine and a four-game suspension.
He's not the only former NFL player to call on the NFL to allow marijuana. A few weeks ago, former Broncos tight end Nate Jackson said he believes the NFL will have no choice but to remove cannabis from its list of banned substances.

Agent Orange (Hybrid)
The Agent Orange strain of marijuana is a three way cross between Space Queen, Jack's Cleaner and Orange Velvet Skunk that delivers its wonders within just 55 and 65 days when cultivated indoors. AO is a hybrid mix of Sativa and Indica the develops very heavy buds, coated with white crystals and blazing orange hairs. It smells like stinky cheese mixed with a bit of diesel fuel and various spices. The taste is likewise spicy, yet sweet and full. The buzz is trippy; mixing feelings of calming body stones with energetic mental lucidity.
Marijuana Legalization Effort Gears Up In Italy
An effort to legalize marijuana is getting underway in the Italian parliament, with some 60 lawmakers having signed onto a motion to do just that by the time it was rolled-out three weeks ago. Now, the "all party" group is getting to work on the twin tasks of drafting an actual legalization bill and getting it enacted into law.
The effort is being led by Sen. Benedetto Della Vedova, who is also Italy's undersecretary of state for foreign affairs. Della Vedova was a long-time member of the country's Nonviolent Radical Party, but was elected to parliament as a member of the centrist Scelta Civica.
The Radicals are a small but influential party that has called for marijuana legalization since the 1970s, and Della Vedova's pot politics go back to the last century as well. He and other Radicals were arrested for publicly distributing hashish at an anti-prohibitionist rally in 1995.
They didn't get much political traction then, but times have changed. Della Vedova is a senator, not an agitator; there is support from within the governing coalition and even from within law enforcement; and the Italian public seems to be ready to relax the pot laws.
A little more than a year ago, the country's top court threw out a 2006 law that put marijuana in the same legal category as heroin and cocaine and swelled the country's prison population. That Berlusconi-era approach has been replaced by a sort of decriminalization, where users face misdemeanor charges, but only fines or administrative penalties, such as suspension of a driver's license. But people caught growing plants still face possible jail time.
That softening of the marijuana laws went largely unopposed and unremarked upon. A more remarkable indication of changing attitudes was the February release of the National Anti-Mafia Directorate's annual report. That report from Italy's top crime-fighting organization said frankly that marijuana prohibition had failed and that it was time to consider legalization.
In view of "the failure of prohibition," the group will draft "a pragmatic, non-ideological bill" regulating marijuana, thus diverting profits from organized crime from organized crime,"Senator Della Vedova told reporters as he announced the measure. "Repressive action has totally failed."
The time has come, he said.

Pot group opts out of enlisting Tommy Chong for lobby fight
The national trade association for marijuana wants to keep "Cheech and Chong" out of the fight for legalized weed on Capitol Hill.
In an email to Tommy Chong's representative and supporter obtained by The Hill, Aaron Smith, co-founder and executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) said the group "is here to break 'stoner' stereotypes rather than reinforce them and Tommy's character (very brilliantly) embodies that stereotype."
As a result, NCIA has decided not sign the actor and marijuana activist as the group's celebrity advocate for it's legislative push known as Lobby Days, scheduled for the end of April.
"We decided that a celebrity presence would ultimately distract from the overall mission, which is for members of Congress and their staffs to meet some of the thousands of small business owners who make up the legal cannabis industry," NCIA Spokeswoman Taylor West said in an email Tuesday. "When a celebrity joins in, even with the best of intentions, it unfortunately pulls the attention away from the broader membership and our message that these are everyday businesspeople who deserve to be treated fairly."
West went on to say that NCIA has the "utmost respect" for Chong's long history as a marijuana advocate.
"Ultimately, our goal with Lobby Days is to shine a light on our overall membership, whose work to build a responsible industry often doesn't get the attention it deserves, and give them a chance to have their stories heard on Capitol Hill," she said.
Peter O'Neil, CEO of the C and C Cannabis Co. in Seattle, said the company has pulled its membership from NCIA over the decision to drop Chong.
O'Neil said he thinks Smith sold the D.C. media and elected officials short.
"They understand that Tommy is an entertainer who has also been an advocate for cannabis for over 30+ years," he said. "If his presence gets more folks to start the conversation about making cannabis legal at the federal level, creating a new green industry that creates jobs and tax dollars then that is great."
In his email, Smith said he's concerned about advertisement on youtube that never aired, which shows Chong smoking while driving and nodding off at the wheel.
"This sort of message is exactly the opposite of what we are trying to do with our efforts to legitimize the industry by showing it in a positive and responsible light," Smith wrote. "Further, promotional advertising like this is actually a violation of our member code of conduct."
In an email, Chong's representative Jon-Paul Cowen, of Chong & Chong Entertainment, said "there are no issues on this end and we all still share many of the same goals with NCIA."
"We were invited to participate in Lobby Days by one of NCIA's members who apparently did not vet it with his superiors," he said. "For our part, we were simply going there to show our support as we all want legalization to happen in 2016. "

The Forbidden Bounty
Book by: Vincent Lakes
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy
Chapter1 (v.1) - The Forbidden Bounty
The cozy softness of the crackling fireplace together with the dreamy candles created a mesmerizing atmosphere in the main hall of the inn. But instead of the usual busy chatter, there was only one voice talking that night. A loreteller had arrived to amuse the people of Crisval, bringing the tales and legends of old for his audience to enjoy. It was a rare opportunity, for such traveling entertainers had disappeared almost entirely since the beginning of the darkness that gnawed the land of Valdor, just like the rest of Belmora. This old man, however, was still rambling, still passing the riddles and mysteries of old through skillfully built thrilling stories.
The crowd, about thirty people altogether, listened intently. Some of them enjoyed the self-made dark beer of Master Kendraf, the Darfin innkeeper from Khaldur, who brewed it by using an ancient recipe of his ancestors. Those who did not care for the beer had a mug of rich and nice honey mead, also safe-made of course. Nobody really knew why Kendraf had arrived to Valdor, for it was quite rare to meet a Darfin around those parts. Everybody liked Kendraf in Crisval though, and not least because of his unmatched skill in smithing. Whoever needed their tools, bridles or weapons fixed, Kendraf was the Darfin for the job. But despite the more than adequate skill in smithing, his true love was the Two Moons Inn, the gathering place of the villagers since the day it was bought by this tenacious man who posessed a flaming desire to renovate the old and rotten warehouse into a comfortable and flourishing roadside inn. Needless to say, he did an amazing job with it. And because of his open and cheerful nature, no one really cared about his past, not even the lurkers who always sought reasons to betray others for coin or bread. He was simply too popular to be touched by filthy rumors and accusations.
"The leader of the Unseen, none other than the great Drua Cardoval, ordered the other three mystics to act quickly and hide the grimoires they had in their possession, for if they did that successfully before the Inquisitors arrived, they could have a slight chance of staying alive a little longer." The loreteller glanced at his audience and noted how deeply concentrated and well captured they were by the story. Smiling cunningly, he continued.
"But their time had ran out. The wooden gates of the cavern came down as the pale wraiths broke through without facing much challenge. The small cavern offered no safety for the terrified mystics who knew the fate that waited for them if the dreadful hand of the Ironcrown could catch them. They had to run, but there was nowhere to run to. And like being mere air for them, the Inquisitors ignored the weak defenses Drua had been able to carve on the cave walls during the short time they had dwelled at the hidden cove. Their attack was swift and ruthless. Figures in grey robes and cloaks, cold blades exposed, ashen and cracked faces frozen in colorless grin - the Inquisitors - the undead servants of Azaron the Fallen. And quickly they overwhelmed the lesser mystics, but Drua Cardoval was stronger than most mystics of her time. She fought with the flare of her enchanted staff, but the shining of the crescent-shaped jewel could not harm the dead as the light of Awen flickered and died before them. Finally, after a furious battle, the Inquisitors defeated and captured Drua, but it took four of them - four of ten to bring her down. A strong and powerful mystic she was, and so much more she could have been had the times been better for those with the secret knowledge." The old man paused for a while to have a sip from his mug, then he coughed lightly and turned his grey eyes at the silent crowd.
"She was wrecked!" he suddenly exclaimed, causing the people to sigh in imminent excitement. "The Garkin guards raped her over and over again in the dungeons at Sannath, for she was a woman in her prime, and once they were done with her, a stake was built in the middle of the town square where she was purified by fire. And slowly she burned, able to smell her own reeking blood, hear the crackling of her skin, feel the immolation of her limbs. And as she screamed out her bottomless pain and distress, the people of Sannath cheered and laughed. They threw rotten vegetables at her, for they were too scared to show compassion, too scared for their own hides. While the horrid atrocities took place in the middle of the town square, the Inquisitors watched from the shadows, silently like mist that rises from the river in the morning. When the fire finally died out leaving nothing but a pile of ashes and blackened bones, they left quietly without anyone even noticing. The people refused to see or hear the insanity in the actions of the Ironcrown. The Garkin invaders have secured absolute control over the land, and even the good King Praed Arnan is strengthless against the ongoing oppression." Smoothly the loreteller had changed into present tense, which had not gone unnoticed by everyone in the room.
Restless murmur rose among the people as they were beginning to wake from the mesmerizing effect of the loreteller's voice, realizing that what the old man had just said was considered treason by the current law. But the loreteller did not seem overly worried. Keeping a mysterious and sly grin on his face, he raised his hands, momentarily silencing the room with this dramatic gesture, which gave him enough time to speak.
"I'm almost finished, but please, hear the last words of the story and make what you will out of it. Drua Cardoval was burned at the stake on that dark day, but the Inquisitors were unable to recover any writings from Thorncove. Does this mean that all hope has been buried forever, or that it's merely waiting to be discovered? I will let you all be the judge of that."
"Traitor!" someone from the crowd yelled daringly, and many others answered with accepting hollers. Chaos took over the Two Moons Inn as most of the people, confused and startled by the disturbing tale, were glaring around nervously in case there were lurkers around.
Master Kendraf was glad that no Garkin soldier happened to wander into the inn while the old man had been telling his story, for it would have been certain inprisonment, and he did not think a man at such high age could bear it very well.
"Lorinel, take your children and come with me," he said firmly to a woman who had been sitting in the back, listening to the story with her son and daughter. She was an old friend of the innkeeper, a harmless farmer who had been selling Kendraf a lot of their produce over the years, thus helping him greatly at keeping the inn running smoothly. But now there was trouble on the way, and he did not want his friend to get hurt in the heat of it. And as he guided her and her children toward the kitchen, he happened to glance at the fireplace where the loreteller had been sitting, but he could not see the old man anymore, almost as if he had vanished away like a puff of smoke rising from the chimney.
"Come Celenth, Sarakin, we must follow Master Kendraf," Lorinel rushed, herding her children impatiently in front of her.
"Why we're in such a hurry, Mom?" Celenth asked while they sneaked out of the backdoor into the dark, drizzling night.
"I will tell you later. There could be serious trouble here soon, and I don't want you to get hurt."
The girl knew better than that, she knew of the law and how the tale she had just heard violated it shamelessly, but in her sudden, fearful state she had trouble connecting those two things. Celenth wiped the ravenblack hair off her face as she followed Kendraf through the backyard and into the bushes standing in between the yard and the narrow village road. The boy, wearing a thick black cloak with a deep hood leaving his face completely in the shadows, never spoke, but followed closely in the footsteps of his sister.
"You should be able to get home from here," the Darfin said quietly.
Lorinel nodded moderately. "Thank you, Kendraf. Are you going to be safe?"
"I think so," he pondered. "There were no Garkins at the inn, but I don't understand what that old man was thinking; they're not supposed to tell stories of the darkness we live in."
"Whatever the reason, we must live with it. I pray dearly that no evil falls upon you because of it," Lorinel whispered and waved quickly at the Darfin as she guided her children through the bushes and disappeared into the night.
"Yes, me too," Kendraf muttered silently to himself before returning back to the inn. He would have a lot of work ahead before he could smother the unrest, and the guards of the nearby outpost were probably on their way by now, which just made the situation even more complicated. The old Darfin sighed deeply as he opened the backdoor of his inn and walked inside to meet the restless crowd.
"Are you all okay?" Belgar asked worriedly when the door of their small house opened a lot sooner than he had expected. He had finally finished the tasks for the day and was relaxing in his large, comfortable chair by the fireplace when he saw his wife rushing in with the children.
"Yes, we are," Lorinel assured. "But the loreteller might not be, for his tale was not about the heroes of old or the legends of other ages, but instead he went on about the Unseen and their hiding place right around here!" She was clearly upset by the loreteller's strange decision, but Belgar comforted her by wrapping his arms around her.
"Don't worry, Lori. The main thing is that you all got safely back home. Now, let us have some tea before it's bedtime, it'll be good for all of our nerves." The warm smile on his face washed Lorinel's worries away, and eventually she returned the smile.
"You're right, my dear. I'll make us some, and maybe some biscuits for the children?"
"That would be great, Mom," Celenth answered for him, her grey eyes beaming excitedly. Sarakin, on the other hand, showed no signs of interest, but that was nothing unusual. The boy took his heavy cloak off, revealing how slim he really was. The dark hair with odd natural copper highlights that formed a flaming pattern around his head hanged down to his shoulders, covering much of his sickly pale face and the stinging, ice blue eyes. With his long, thin and extremely nimble fingers, he hanged the cloak on a hook by the door and walked toward the back of the house where his and Celenth's rooms were located on opposite sides of the corridor.
Lorinel turned to her daughter and sighed. "Please, make sure he eats a little, too."
"I will, Mom," Celenth promised, sitting on his father's chair by the fireplace. Staring into the fire, she was already thinking about the book she could engross in once she was alone in her own room. Even the most harmless works were kept away from the public, the times were such when no one wanted to take unnecessary risks by having books carelessly lying around, not to mention it had always been fairly rare to have books in farmhouses.
It was highly unusual for the commoners to have the skill to read, but Belgar, who had learned it from his father, made it an utmost importance to teach his children, and his work had paid off with both having deep passion for the written word.
The book she so eagerly hungered was about the Immortals that were almost forgotten since the church had faced its demise a hundred years earlier, but for some reason Celenth found great comfort and calmness in those writings. She shared this passion with her brother, but the content they were interested in could not have been more different. Celenth enjoyed anything historical and religious, specifically all books about the ancient Immortals, the old legends of their deeds and teachings; but Sarakin had taken a far more dangerous road by studying the writings of the mystics, the deepest and darkest secrets of Sul'Awen - the secret language, and because of that his parents shared a mutual concern for him. He had not been able to lay his eyes upon a true grimoire as of yet, only some lesser books of general knowledge about mystics and the structure of the writing, but they would have been plenty enough to sentence him to death instantly should the Garkins or some filthy lurker discover any of it. But everything had changed that night.

He asked only justice for 4'J,U prote.3t the colored people at the south,: the wliite people at the north,: and its' citi^ns at home and abroad.

Mr. Outhwaite offered a resolution declaring Featherstone not entitled to his seat. This was rejected-138 t� 144- Mr. Hitt of lUmois voting with the Democrats.

Berlin, March �.-Speaking at the banquet of the provincial diet at Biand-enburg, Emperor William said: "Whoever will help me is welcome; those who hinder me I will crush." The emperor dwelt upon the remen brance that the people of Brandenburg had stood stead � fastly by his house, both in its troubles and Its joyous days, and It was m the hour of need, he said, that one learned to know his true friends. He had been reproached for having indulged in too much travel, but he would advise his people to travel as much as possible, and thereby learn to judge men and thmgci. "It.is bytravel,'^ he said, "that I have learned to - judge politics from the out-sidej and. have thereby, been prevented from taking over hasty steps." He intended to follow the traditions of his grandfather, and complimented the gallant'army that had ever stood by iiis side; ' Huvtien TroubieM.
