Nobody that has seen Star Wars can ever forget the exhilerating feeling of watching the spaceships fly through space in what was the pinacle of special effects in 1977. However, now George Lucas and Industrial Light and Magic are investing $10 million to recreate the Star Wars trilogy in special editions to be released in 1997. Almost all of the ships from the previous films will be replaced with computer generated vehicles. Which raises an interesting question: which works better? Hand-built models or computer graphics?
As in just about any effects shot, with models it's the details that count. Model builders, computer or otherwise, will spend hours working on the smallest items to bring the level of realism to the highest possible. After all, an audience will quickly get bored with an object if there isn't anything interesting to see after the first look. Details are a big part, and it's relatively easy to modify a hand-built model with a small piece from a battleship model, or other off-the-shelf set. However, computer graphics people can't do that. A little spray of paint for the model builder is several days of drawing textures and then applying them for the computer people. A quick dent in the plastic will translate into a couple hours of reworking the wireframe, and then rerendering the entire object. If it's one large, static model you're trying to build, a hand-built model will probably be the fastest, easiest and cheapest. But once you begin to grow beyond just the one model, the pros begin to move toward the computer's side.
When creating the large number of spaceships for his Star Wars films, Lucas had a couple of options to make the large space battles come to life. The first was much more time consuming: he could have the effects people build a different model for each craft. Or he could take a quicker and cheaper way, and take numerous shots of the same model, or a small number of models, and composite them together to make it appear as if there were a number of ships flying about. But there are problems with both of these approaches. To build a large number of models is expensive and takes time. But to shoot just a few models limits what the audience is seeing, and to pull off such an effect, the camera couldn't stay on one ship too long, or the viewers will realize it's the same ship over and over.
The problem is further complicated by lighting. To get a certain level of lighting on one ship is not a problem; just position a light and let the camera roll. But to get the lighting to fit the same on hundreds of ships is almost impossible. Small flaws quickly become amplified, and the shot becomes transparent. Computers can solve the lighting problem and the difficulty of creating numerous ships.
By taking the original model on the computer and replicating it several times, a graphics artist can make small changes on each of the wireframes to keep the ship from looking the same, and then combine the models into the same shot with a static light source. This ensures that all the models will have the same amount of shading, as if they were all being filmed at the same time.
Computer models also allow for a much greater degree of maneuverability. Rather than needing to reposition the wires and bars that keep a hand-built model in place, and then moving the camera to keep the shot right. With a computer model, moving the wireframe to fit the request is faster and easier. And rather than needing to set the camera on a robotic arm and move it past the model, often resulting in a blocky effect, a computer can simulate a path of motion for a ship and execute it numerous times without error or need for adjustment. Computer generated ships can also be manipulated to fit the constraints of gravity and centripital force. Mathematical models guarantee that a tight turn by a fighter plane will look as if the ship were turning in real life.
Basically, models have one big plus working for them. There's nothing more impressive than a large pyrotechnic display to amaze the audience. As Independence Day demostrated, models still have a good grip on the explosion area. Small charges can be set and sequenced to obliterate a scale model of a structure. Explosions are one thing that computer artists haven't been able to emulate correctly. The small particles that explosions create have to be individually built and rendered. Mathematical models can create realistic flight paths for the debris, but a computer can't really work out the structural weaknesses of a building and pinpoint where the blast will break out the walls. And if any fire is required (it usually is), programmers have yet to render a realistic looking flame. Models are quite simply more realistic, faster and more cost effective when dealing with explosions.
For the most part, models and computer graphics each have their pros and cons. They work best when put together. A prime example is a certain shot from Twister. A oiltanker was scripted to fly down from the sky and then explode ahead of the character's truck. A CG rendered tanker was created to fly from the sky, and a large full scale model was built to drop in front of the truck and explode. A perfect combination of two technologies, the scene comes off flawlessly.
To conclude, each technique has it's own uses. Computers are quickly replacing what models used to do, but the models still have a position to fill. Until the next generation of computer artists works out the kinks in 3d rendering, we'll continue to see a small version of the White House exploding on screen, and we'll still be content.

With CCTV systems so advanced now, they offer so much more to the customer now than ever before and with this, items such as CCTV cameras and wireless systems can now be placed in more secure locations and still offer exceptional quality images and footage. In previous systems for example, the high and distance of the location of CCTV cameras was subject to certain limitations, mainly pixel capabilities and in particular signal strength on remote systems.
Technological advancements have now enabled even budget CCTV systems to be powerful enough to offer legible images and recorded footage from cameras located in more distant higher positions, further from the reach of vandals and smaller to aid better camouflage properties. With this information to hand, there are more possibilities on choosing the right installation points for cameras and cables, or self contained units used in wireless systems.
Cameras can now be placed higher and in more discrete locations around your homes exterior, not just to reduce the chance of damage but to preserve the aesthetic look of your property. We offer a helpful guide on the most effective places to place cameras and cabling and offer the reassurance that even if you choose to locate your CCTV equipment further from the subject you wish to monitor, the performance of cameras today will still ensure high quality footage for you.

Does it have class 1 and class 2 activity like test and tren?
And then another... Due to test and tren having both class 1 and 2 activity are they often stacked together or is one or the other used?
Just thinking about running a 1ad utt and 4ad utt with tren cycle. Good idea. I know when stacking you want to stack a class 1 with a 2 to get the best results cause you attack it by both ways.

Did you just have a dog bite? If yes, do not just sit there and do nothing about it. You can take a legal action against the owner of the dog for exposing the lives of others to danger. This case ensues when this dog owner does not properly secure the dog. You can get a Dog bite injury Attorney Portland to help you make this claim.
If you have just been injured and want compensation from it, the amount of compensation will depend on the degree of injury. Hence, the more grievous the injury, the higher the compensation. A good Portland injury lawyer will ensure that you receive the right amount of compensation commiserate with your injury.
Do you know that your family members can help you to make claim for personal injuries? Yes, this is possible especially when it comes to Mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure. If they use the services of an Portland construction accident lawyer specializing on personally injury cases, they are likely to be successful.
When settling claims cases with insurance companies your attorney will certainly advise you to be patient, as he is also expected to have tons of patients too, because insurance companies might want to buy time. If you and your legal team fail to budge this will show them you are serious and will eventually settle in your favor.
A lawyer who wants to measure the maximum settlement worth of a case, can carryout a jury research to get an insight into verdict juries that have been handed out in similar situations. What you may not know is that the verdict of a jury normally acts as a precedent on settlement rates.
That injury of yours may take long years to heal. During this time you are likely to face anguish and excruciating pains if you do not get help from an experienced attorney to help you get claims in this regard, you will lose all round.

I have been trying out these new Kind nutrition Bars Lately. Boy, do I love them. Eating nutrition bars is not something that I have been into, in fact most , brands taste very pasty, chalky and too thick for my taste. Than to top it all off they leave a nasty aftertaste in my mouth. Many nutrition or health bars contain way to much sugar, and are full of fillers and synthetic vitamins. Synthetic Vitamins in fact are not even utilized by the entire body completely, in fact in some people it could even cause adverse reactions.
So as you can see picking out nutrition bars to eat was never high on my list. Than one day I was in health food store and on the isle I saw these kind bars. These bars kept on getting my attention, I did not try them the first go around. Than the second or third time I went back to the store I decided to give them another try. I am so glad I did. I ended up trying their peanut butter and chocolate combination the first time around. Man did I fall in love in love with these kind fruit and nut bars, they taste so good!
It was like eating a sneaker bar, but not as sweet.
If that gets you thinking.
I have never tasted a nutrition bar packed with so much deliciousness.
To top it all off, these bars are made with:
- Ingredients you can actually say.
- Filled with only non GMO (genetically modified organisms).
- Very, very low sugar content.
- Very low calorie content if you count calories, how ever I follow a (traditional foods way of eating). So counting calories is irrelevant to me.
- KIND's all natural whole nut & fruit bars put an end to hunger by delivering all-natural nutrients like fiber, protein, calcium and iron. (I know this for a fact because when I snack on them in between meals, I don't get hungry or experience a drop in my blood sugar levels. )
- According to a Yale Study, snacking on two kind bars a day can help with naturally suppressing your appetite and reduce overeating.
- The Kind Bars are high in Fiber.
- Filled with a ton of all natural protein, with no chemical additives.
- Completely Kosher!
- Even Gluten free!
These kind power bars, kind snack bars whatever you want to call them is just what its name implies. They impart a kind holistic way of making food and that is better for your health.
Not to mention the fact, they come in all kind of flavors! From Macadamia and Apricot, to almond and coconut. To peanut butter and strawberry, and the list goes on. They include three lines.The Fruit nut line, the Kind Plus Line which is packed with a nutritional boost, than last but not least the healthy grains lines. Filled with ingredients such as whole grains amaranth, quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat.
Totally a health benefit.
Since I found these kind nutrition bars I have loved them and will continue to eat more. They have become a staple for myself and family and great to give to kids. I feel as if I have finally found my one true nutrition bar.
When you get a chance give Kind a try, I promise you will love them.
Ready to give them a try, check them out here!

The Royal Hideaway is a member of exclusive hospitality consortium Leading Hotels of the World, and as such is one of the most luxurious properties in the area. It features upscale rooms with high-end amenities, a full-service spa with great treatments, several pools, and the best food around. The beautiful grounds, overall sophisticated vibe, adults-only policy, and beautiful beachfront location a short drive from shopping on Playa's Fifth Avenue make it one of the most attractive options for couples in Playacar.
As one might expect from the ultra-luxurious Banyan Tree brand, the Banyan Tree Mayakoba is one of Playa del Carmen's most sought after resorts. All of the 164 villas feature sleek Asian-inspired decor and Mexican textiles -- as well as walk-in showers, plunge pools, walled-in grass lawns, patios with hammocks, outdoor bathtubs, and fully stocked bars. The grounds, white-sand beach, and lagoon-like pool blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature. When you consider the high-end spa, plethora of outdoor activities -- such as golf, snorkeling, and eco tours -- and the fantastic dining, it's very hard to find anything wrong with this property. Only the Rosewood Mayakoba can compare, but the rooms are arguably a little nicer here -- though Rosewood has the superior spa.
Rosewood Mayakoba is a gorgeous, peaceful retreat within the resort community of Playa Del Carmen, set on a mile-long stretch of beach. Though it features an extensive children's program, the resort largely attracts couples with its serene atmosphere, upscale restaurants, and spa. The 128 suites feature attractive contemporary decor -- picture clean lines, white walls, and rich woods -- as well as high-tech amenities and private outdoor plunge pools. They have an open-air vibe, with many floor-to-ceiling windows, and the overwater lagoon suites have swim-up access. Plus, suites include freebies such as Wi-Fi, fresh fruit, and bottled water. Seaweed debris along the beach keeps the Rosewood from being flawless (although they diligently attempt to keep it clean by sending staffers to rake it away), but otherwise this hotel is top-notch -- for guests willing to pay top dollar. Some may prefer the rooms at the Banyan Tree, but the spa is nicer here.
The Grand Velas -- set on over 80 acres of mangroves that meet a postcard-perfect beach of white sand and turquoise waters -- is one of Riviera Maya's most sophisticated properties. It features 491 top-notch suites spread out in three different buildings (two family-friendly, one adults-only), all with their own stunning pool complexes, gyms, and restaurants. The property is so huge guests will need to take a three-minute shuttle ride from the farthest building to the beach, but the hotel's spotless service, outstanding food, luxurious spa, and wonderful amenities make it a great pick for discerning (and well-heeled) travelers.
The El Dorado Royale is an adults-only resort with a whopping 450 acres of tropical jungle along the Riviera Maya. For walkers, be prepared to exercise the legs here, otherwise jump on one of the many golf carts scooting from one end of the property to the other. Staff members go out of their way to keep guests smiling, and these free rides are a good way to experience the manicured grounds. There are 13 pools in total -- an important aspect, as the ocean bottom is too rocky for most to enjoy. However, the mile-long sandy beach is still suitable for games, strolling, and dining (romantic candlelit dinners are possible). For other options, the resort calls itself a "gourmet" all-inclusive, and offers a dizzying array of restaurants, as well as bars, nightlife, spa treatments, and on-site activities to keep everyone busy. When in need of an escape, the tour desk arranges off-site excursions, or guests can take a shuttle service to visit Cancun or Playa del Carmen. There are three total sister properties in this area, and the Royale is the most basic -- though rooms still feel luxurious with white-linen-draped canopy beds, balconies or terraces, walk-in showers, Jacuzzi tubs, bathrobes, and stocked minibars. The resort is attached to the newer Casitas section with additional amenities such as outdoor showers and private plunge pools.
Few properties in Riviera Maya offer the level of privacy the Fairmont Mayakoba does. The 401 contemporary rooms are set amid tropical forests and lagoons, and feature modern amenities, upscale bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers and separate jetted tubs, and nice views, either of the lagoons, the forests, or the ocean. Granted, sprawling grounds mean guests will need a golf cart or one of the BMW bikes the hotels provides to move around. Property highlights include a high-end spa, a number of dining options, five attractive pools -- including a 10,000 square-foot main pool, a kiddy pool, and an adults-only pool -- and a great location on a white-sand beach a few minutes north of Playa del Carmen. However, it's not an all-inclusive resort and there are a few pesky fees.
With just 41 private villas, the Viceroy Riviera Maya attracts couples looking for a quiet, romantic retreat. The rustic-luxe villas -- with thatched roofs, partially canopied beds, and updated amenities such as large flat-screen TVs -- all have their own plunge pools, outdoor showers, and hammocks. They also all have bug spray. The Viceroy is all about relaxation; the restaurants are casual but upscale, the spa features outdoor treatment rooms and a steam room, and the serene pool overlooks the ocean and the seven-mile stretch of white-sand beach. Though families do come, the resort provides very few family-friendly amenities (there is no kids' club) so families may consider the still peaceful but family-friendly Rosewood Mayakoba, just a few minutes away.
The former estate of an Italian duchess, the ultra-luxurious Esencia oozes Mediterranean elegance and style. With just 29 rooms spread over 50 acres, the property feels intimate and exclusive, and shows a thorough attention to detail in everything from the services to the decor. Upscale, contemporary rooms are housed in two-story buildings set amid lush tropical grounds, and feature lots of high-end amenities, including pre-loaded iPods, Molton Brown toiletries, and in some, even private plunge pools. The gorgeous spa, excellent restaurant, and relaxing pools with ocean views are highlights.
This 97-room all-inclusive resort feels more like an upscale beach community -- complete with thatched roofs and quaint seaside cabanas. Rooms are spacious, with airy island-style designs and lots of luxurious touches, like deep-dish sinks, flat-screen TVs, and private patios or balconies. Some suites are swim-up, which border the gorgeous pool linking a group of suites at ground level. The four on-site restaurants offer a decent variety to guests, including a bar dedicated solely to tequila, though those staying for more than an extended weekend may find the options a bit limited. But families will appreciate that the restaurants offer kid-friendly options, and the daily kids' club -- a bright, fun space with tons of games and toys -- is a great place for children to hang out while adults dine or visit the spa.
The Palace offers a high-end all-inclusive experience on a gorgeous stretch of white-sand beach 15 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. It's the smallest, newest and most upscale of the three properties in the Barcelo complex, with 756 beautiful rooms surrounded by gorgeous pools and manicured grounds. All rooms are Junior Suites or Suites with pretty bathrooms featuring separate showers and tubs. There's a lot for everyone here, from couples to families to groups, but those who want to party will have to walk to the hotel's sister properties next door, and non-Club Premium guests should expect to pay for Wi-Fi.

How Verizon kept wireless service going after Sandy hit
With Hurricane Sandy due to hit the East Coast in a couple of days, Verizon Wireless executive Mike Haberman tested his house's back-up generator and ended up finding a faulty circuit that he quickly fixed. So when the outage hit his house in Morristown, N.J., he was able to get enough power to his laptop and phone to work from home last week.
That's a good thing, because Haberman was one of the key people coordinating the carrier's efforts to keep service going at a time when massive power outages wreaked havoc on the East Coast. … Read more

11 highlights from the premiere indie film festival
By Geoff Berkshire, Metromix
"Martha Marcy May Marlene"
Atmospheric and unpredictable, "Martha" was the clear standout among Sundance's narrative features. Starring Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister of Mary Kate and Ashley) in a stunning breakout performance as Martha, a young woman who escapes from a dangerous cult, the movie also marks an incredibly assured feature debut for writer-director Sean Durkin.
Shifting effortlessly between Martha's experiences with the cult (led by Oscar nominee John Hawkes in a sinister turn) and her difficulties adjusting to a "normal" life with her older sister (a magnificent Sarah Paulson), the film emerges as a slow-burning psychological thriller of the highest order.
Read the quick reaction.

Suns owner Robert Sarver stands with his front office
Led by Alvin Gentry, a team featuring Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Jason Richardson and Grant Hill won 54 regular season games and two playoff series before bowing out to the eventual champion L.A. Lakers in six games.
Shortly thereafter the Suns saw general manager Steve Kerr depart, ultimately being replaced by Lon Babby and Lance Blanks.
Now the team is 13-28 and in the Western Conference's basement, with just three players left from the WCF team and a new coach.
So even though it seems like the Suns are trending in the wrong direction, Suns owner Robert Sarver says his confidence in the front office he's assembled has not been shaken, even with the questionable hire of Lindsey Hunter to replace Gentry.
"Time will tell whether some of those decisions are the right decisions or not," Sarver told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday. "This is a business where not all decisions are right. Some are right, some are wrong."
Sarver said the decision to go with Hunter was Blanks', because he said he himself "is not in the position a position of telling general managers who to hire as a coach."
He did say he has the ability to veto the GM's decision, but after doing some research he was on board with the hire.
But as of now, the Suns are not getting the benefit of the doubt. Media and fans alike seem to think the team is heading in the wrong direction, and have little faith that things will turn around in the near future.
But that's the goal, and Sarver explained part of that involves a culture change, which can be difficult at times.
"If Lance and Lon wanted to do the easy thing and the popular thing, they wouldn't have done that," he said of promoting Hunter. "I want people working for me who are committed to doing what they think is in the best interest of moving this franchise forward. That's what they did."
Sarver notes the questionable nature, though.
"Whether they made the right decision or not, time will tell," he said. "In this business everybody has a track record, and time tells and you can go back and check on it.
"But they made what they thought was the best decision in terms of who can help motivate these guys, who can believe in these guys, who these guys will believe in, who they'll play hard for and who will establish the type of culture and systems in place that will give us the best opportunity for success the last 41 games."
That's when Sarver -- and the Suns -- would prefer one judges the decision to replace Gentry with Hunter.
"Listen, not all popular choices are right and not all right choices are popular."

When some people say" hey, I acknowledge extremists are bad, but what is wrong with going to church to volunteer, give to the needy, help the community" what do you all say? just wondering
Good and generous people do good and generous things. If they are religious, then many of them use religion as a vehicle for their natural tendencies. If they were to leave religion behind, they would still do those things.
What's wrong with throwing some worship X's way? Because, X doesn't exist, and it would be a waste of my time to fake believing in a poorly crafted fairy tale.
Bam! Well, I think you took this question, rolled it up and smoked it.

@ Nate Lundgren,
That is exactly it! They do ZIP and that is the cycle that does NEED to be broken. Religion promotes the idea of co-dependence..to it's "god" and therefore in turn, its claimed "charitable works" all done in the NAME of this "god".

Sebastian Vettel is relishing the opportunity to chase instead of defend when the Formula One season resumes in Belgium next weekend.
Having been the one with the target on his back last year, this season the picture is very different.
Red Bull have failed to recapture the form that carried Vettel to a dominant second World title while their rivals have been quick to capitalise on the changing conditions.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the only driver with three wins to his name this season, is leading the Drivers' Championship on 164 points, 40 ahead of Mark Webber and an additional two in front of Vettel.
But rather than become despondent at his position in the standings, Vettel says he's relishing the chance to attack.
"The one who is leading is always the one everyone else is after," said the German. "I think he is in a good position but we still have a lot of races to go.
"I think it's a better position, or a better Championship in that regard; to be able to catch rather than if you only have two cars that work properly and the first four are always given.
"I think the way the racing has been this season you can catch up points pretty quickly.
"Right now we are in the position that we are, and we'll do our best from here. We still have a lot of races to go and I think we are very hungry to come out fast at the end of the season."

Choosing Civility in a Rude Culture
Professor Pier M. Forni has devoted his career to convincing people to conduct their lives with kindness and civility
- By David Zax
- Smithsonian.com, December 01, 2008, Subscribe
We are facing a crisis. There is a growing consensus that the situation is dire—and looking bleaker every day. Almost everyone has contributed to the problem, and everyone is a victim of it.
This catastrophe? The "coarsening of America," as our pandemic of rudeness has been called. And if it seems alarmist to speak of rudeness in catastrophic terms, consider some of the arguments advanced by those who do: that incivility costs the nation more than $100 billion a year in accidents on the road, that billions more are lost to diminished productivity at work, and that many acts of violence have their origins in acts of rudeness. And beyond the physical damage, they say, there is reason to believe that rampant incivility is damaging to the soul. Humans are deeply social creatures, after all, so it seems logical that good social relations should improve our lives.
Armed with such logic, a coalition of the hopeful is trying to buck the rude trend, even to reverse it. They are fighting, you might say, a civil war, and if they succeed, then perhaps someday decades hence schoolchildren on field trips will crowd at the foot of a bronze statue of Pier M. Forni, professor of Italian literature at Johns Hopkins University, who will be remembered as one of the greatest generals in our nation's struggle for civility.
Professor Forni is too humble to speak of himself this way, and since he fights primarily with words (and, on some occasions, cupcakes), he would hardly find a military analogy apt. But after publishing two books on civility, including the bestselling Choosing Civility: The Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct, and founding the Civility Initiative at Johns Hopkins, he has emerged as a leader among the forces of polite resistance.
At our first meeting, I tried to be on my best behavior but broke two of his rules before our interview even began. First, I was late, and second, I declined his offer of a glass of Prosecco. He explained that he keeps a bottle handy to offer visitors "comfort in a few bubbles." The sparkling wine comes from Veneto, the region of Italy where Forni was born 57 years ago and whose tones have carried into his gently accented English.
Living outside one's native country almost inevitably makes manners and mores visible in a new way, and so it was for Forni when he came to study literature at UCLA in 1978. He says he will never forget the shock he felt when a Los Angeles nurse called him by his first name, something a polite stranger would never have done at that time in Italy. Still, Forni became used to American ways (he now urges his European friends not to confuse American informality with rudeness), and indeed he took more than two decades to reinvent himself as a secular prophet of good manners.
He says a "midlife crisis" induced that sudden change—however different, he notes, from the usual response of buying a red Ferrari. One day in the mid-1990s, Forni was discussing a Dante canto with a roomful of Hopkins undergraduates when he had an epiphany: even if he imparted everything there was to know about Dante, he realized, he would have failed as a teacher if his students were to go out and be rude to an old lady on the bus. In 1997, he began what was then called the Johns Hopkins Civility Project, a cluster of research and outreach programs that have studied the effects of manners and their lack in sites as diverse as schools, hospitals and a maximum security prison. In 2002, he published Choosing Civility.
The book extended Forni's epiphany at least a hundred thousandfold, to judge from the number of copies sold, and launched him into the role of commentator on matters of civility. It also cast him into a decidedly more private role: that of an ad hoc counselor for the many of his readers who share with him their personal problems. Would it be rude to give a copy of Choosing Civility to my spouse? they ask. Is there a civil way to prevent my 15-year-old from spending unsupervised time in the house with her 20-year-old boyfriend? How can I get my young employees to fall into line?
The book begins with an epigraph from Henry James: "Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind." Forni's work—the hundreds of pages published, the numerous college courses taught, the dozens of speeches given—is only a series of variations on that simple theme. The professor doesn't claim to be saying anything new, only presenting truths in need of rediscovery. "I see my work as pulling brambles apart from the entrance to the old forgotten mine that still has an ore of silver," he says.

Civility is increasingly impossible since it runs contrary to the aggressive and deceptive nature of the corporate culture of America as well as the political party that openly and unashamedly serves as the big bussiness handmaiden. Dr. Forni is isolated from all this in his ivory tower, so he can afford to skip around the edges (symptoms). If one is bombarded daily by insincerity, lies, business and political propaganda that slowly but surely wear down your nervous system and physical being, is it any wonder that people will be increasingly impolite? The culture as a whole is corrupt and incivility is just a symptom. Still, dr. Forni should travel around the world more to realize that whatever politeness deficit America has, it is still one of the humanly warmer and more civil countries compared to the rest of the globe.

Fortunate not to have been raised by my U.S.-socialized parents, by the time I was sent to join them, at age eight, I had been made well aware by my Chihuahua born grandparents of my responsibility to always respect the cultural "Other". Provincial and uneducated, they nevertheless insisted in a civil household in which I was able to extrapolate and expand on their excellent injunctions and precepts. I was left a thoughtful and humane child, well "hard-wired" in the positive direction required to navigate many of the pit-falls of a bitterly racist southern California society of the 40's and into the post-war years. I was applying early on the concept of "the personal is political". Unfortunately such an awareness did not automatically promise an easy life in a child who early on and into high school could well discern "good upbringing, or lack of it" in my teachers and peers. I cannot divest myself of the idea that our economic system is quite the brutaliser and coarsener, as a diluter of good "breeding" if I may call it that. I cannot but laud an emphasis on civility and and the assured self respect that comes with it, but frankly I am hopeful that a national success in that area only hastens a confrontation with the capitalist system, which seems to me poisonous to good domestic and foreign relations. Case in point: there is a joke going around which asks "what's the difference between 9/11 and a cow? You can stop milking a cow after ten years". That joke is on us.

Many moons ago I wrote a series of cautionary tales focussed on girls 5-8 yrs old.The themes of the stories covered the many aspects of acceptable behaviour.One story The Tale of Dolly Duress-who always left her room in a mess-had this poem[perhaps doggerel is more accurate]which is apropos to this string.
Thank You, is so easily said,Yet sadly, oft forgotten.
The action of a well-bred child, ignored by the ill-begotten.
Courtesy should e'er be taught, As soon as a babe can speak.And by example,shown the way,What moral path to seek
To open doors for others,And let them go ahead:
To give up your seat to an elder,or a mother-to-be instead
Not to push and shove to be first,Stand in line--be cool Pity the pushy child perchance, Raised by a thankless fool?
Don't say"I want",say "May I have? And "thanks" when you get your request.
Ask any adult, you'll find they'll agree, A courteous child is the best.
The poems are written in ABCB form, rather than the couplets shown here,to condense space for content.

I can remember when news media and live reporters, book reviewers and even movie reviewers used a person's title with their name, such as "Mrs. Dandy Stribling", instead of addressing them or citing them using just their last name, as in "Stribling". This grates on _my_ understanding of civility, though it's around me everywhere I turn. It's simply another step down to "accepted" incivility and personal disrespect.

I have found through out my dealings with others that they are just as civil towards you as you are to them (i.e. a viriation of the Golden Rule - Be civil to others and they will be civil to you)
Posted by Frederick M. Knox on August 21,2009 | 11:24 PM
Professor Forni's concept of civility overlaps with the concept of social intelligence. Keep in mind that people tend to act in a similiar fashion as those around them. For instance, when I went to a posh restaurant, I dressed up and minded my table manners more. When I worked in a warehouse, I chose to dress down & forego some manners. Neither instance implied that my concept of manners had changed but I adapted those manners to be more like my peers so that I could interact with them in the least conflictive way possible. In both cases, I was civil and this civility enabled me to interact even better with my peers. Civility, as a tenet of social intelligence, has its own rewards...being civil towards your peers translates into greater civility on their part towards you.
Posted by Sharon Lina Pearce on August 21,2009 | 07:08 AM
This country has turned the teaching of competition and winning as the only avenue to being the best. Best of what, self - ego-stroking, looking after "number one" only & first. This is the key to being un-civilized. Being Civil in thought and actions means looking out for those for whom you touch with your attitude, your actions and communications as a sense of being "a part of something greater than self". At age 50 I finished a degree in Sociology and went on to Mediation Training to possibly offer myself to mediate family issues associated with separated families. It never came to fruition as I ended up collecting Court Ordered Child Support to be sure children had support from the absent parent. Now I am retiring......maybe I can step up as Dr. Forni has done. How very much I wish and truly pray daily for peaceful lives here and peaceful civility in every life on this planet especially the children who can make the future more civil.

Our society has a multitude of people who think not being rude is talking in softer voice as they tell you in so many words to "go to hell". Today many people seem to even have special training in how to be passively aggressive without appearing to be rude. I think they are a much worse for me than for instance an ex-marine who uses a loud voice to warn you not to bump into him again while walking on a crowded street. The marine knows when he is being...."loud and clear" and is expecting you to respond accordingly.

Just a small habit (rule) can go a far way in the act of civility in children (and adults). I have the 'rule' (I'd like to better refer to it as a 'lesson') in my 6-9 yr. old Montessori classroom that we never use the words 'boring' or 'stupid' , as both words give off a negative and unkind connotation. (We call them the 'b' and 's' words.) This habit (of not using the word) has been followed faithfully for more than 10 years, and I seldom have to 'give that lesson' nowadays. It truly teaches the children to be respectful, especially in the words they use to communicate with each other, and rises the bar of 'etiquette'! Needless to say, the whole school tries to follow the lesson.

The rudness that has over taken my beloved country has saddened me. When I was growing up politeness was a given part of our training as civilized people. I brought my children up to respect people and they are doing the same with their families. It dosen't hurt to say please, thank you and excuse me. Life would be more pleasent if we went back to treating people as we would like to be treated instead of being rude and abrupt. It is so good to know there are many others that feel the lack of civility in our culture.

I remember my mom telling me that as soon as my siblings and I could talk, she taught us to say "Please" and "Thank you". It became second nature. As a teen I got out the habit because I thought I was being rebellious and that my don't-give-a-flip attitude was cool. When I entered the world of customer service work, I learned that customers were more cooperative if you were kind and polite. I am now trying to teach my 3-year-old daughter "Please" and "Thank you". I'm always asking her "What do you say?" I know some people might feel that my child doesn't fully understand the concept of civility and she might not. But I do know that her demanding tone changes to pleasant when I remind her to say the magic words. When people say that the rules "merely add a veneer of civility where what is needed is deep and genuine compassion", I say so? It's much easier to have folks follow rules than it to make them genuinely care.

Several years ago I asked a lovely hostess from England this question," Why do most people from other countries, especially Europe it seems, dislike Americans? She answered,"Americans are so rude and demanding in our country when they travel." I thought over her response and said quietly to her, and, quite sadly really," We do not have to leave our country to be rude to people as we do that here to our own people."

There is a preponderance of incivility today, but respect, compassion, tolerance and tact are antidotes to aggression, hostility and violence.

This should be required as of kindergarten if parents are unable to teach their children at the earliest age. It makes life so simple and so much more pleasant. Civility, ethics and simplicity are the measure of real elegance, in addition to self respect and respect for others. We live by example by family and our peers.

Lord, if I didn't at least intellectually know it (I haven't quite mastered acceptance yet), that I cannot control anyone else's behavior, the uncouth conduct of 98% of my fellow tenants in this HUD-subsidized high-rise would have me beside myself and screaming in frustration! I must admit I only started noticing ill manners so acutely about the time I moved in here, but I do see it elsewhere. I hear tenants yelling in the non-sound-proofed hallway, slamming doors, trying to jam onto the elevators before allowing others off....I've ridden busses where cell-phone users talked non-stop from my boarding till I disembarked 45 minutes later....years ago, I often felt slighted when a friend who had call-waiting would put me on hold to answer her other line...even table-manners (now that we eat and drink constantly and on the move) have declined: people chew food without closing their lips, I once had a TennCare driver who popped, smacked and slurped her gum open-mouthed the whole time--she didn't even care what her passengers preferred to listen to on the vehicle's radio; we were subjected to her cacophanous (to me) choice in "music" OK, it's bad manners for anyone to keep griping as I have, but I'd like to at least try to help civilize my fellow tenants if anyone can give me any ideas.

Thank goodness someone else has recognized that there is hardly any kindness or civility anymore. I've talked often to my family and friends of instances where I've come home from some errand and I have a story about how rude someone was in the store or in the parking lot. I've been especially upset with employees in the stores, where you're spending your hard earned money, and they act as if YOU are the one who's rude by asking a question or for help! I said years ago that anyone under 35 is ignorant of the words "please", "thank you", or "excuse me". Do you think we could bring this trend back? Thank you for listening to my rant.

I have just discovered, with admiration Prof. Forni's books on "Civility". So often I am discouraged by the inability of many Americans to hold open the door for courtesy to the next approaching entrant. I am so discouraged by the habit of grunting without the ability to enunciate "thank you". Even these trivial basics contribute to a gentler atmosphere if implemented. Civility is fundamental to a civil society; without it we exist in an uncivilized unleashed society.

Little Karoo, or as it is locally known the Klein Karoo, is a semi-arid valley surrounded by mountains. At first glance you would be forgiven for thinking the Little Karoo is a barren, dusty and dry tract of land but on closer inspection you will be surprised to see the amounts of life it holds. With dry, hot summers and wet, cold winters, this fertile land is perfect for fruit, wine and livestock farming.
Early European settlers quickly saw the potential of the region and soon the abundant wildlife, which once roamed these vast plains, was all but wiped out to make way for the growing demand of human settlements and agriculture. Today Inverdoorn Game Reserve plays a vital role in the reintroduction of endemic species such as lion, rhino, elephant and buffalo back into the region.
A visit to the Little Karoo is a visit into the heart of South African history and culture. Starting in the south with Ceres, the gateway to the Little Karoo, it reaches all the way to the ostrich "capital" and home of The Cango Caves, Oudsthoorn, in the north. The lush, hikers' paradise of Barrydale in the west and the historic town of Uniondale in the east, complete the circumference. With many more historic sites and natural attractions to enjoy in between, this is a very special region indeed.
Inverdoorn Game Reserve is instrumental in the conservation and rehabilitation of endangered species in the Little Karoo and are also custodians of the rich and diverse succulent plant life that the Little Karoo is characterised by. Strange alien shapes, with the tiniest of flowers, or large bulbous cacti with spiky thorns are but a few of the wonders you will discover here. If you are lucky enough to be here during the spring, the Karoo will greet you with a carpet of blooming wildflowers in every imaginable colour.
When the day has passed, the night sky will reveal a few ancient secrets of its own and it is clear why the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere is found in Sutherland, a little deeper into the interior of the Little Karoo. However, you do not need to travel any further than Inverdoorn Game Reserve for a spectacular show of shooting stars.
For more information of sights and attractions in this wonderful region, the Inverdoorn team will be happy to assist.
Amongst the wonders of Nature exists a splendid place situated in the magnificence of the vast open Karoo landscape, Inverdoorn Game Reserve & Iziba Safari Lodge. The 10 000 hectare property is a resourceful and stylish 'oasis' destination, only a 2.5-hour drive from Cape Town city centre.
Inverdoorn offers guests the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really get to grips with a cheetah through its Exclusive Encounters package that allow guests to spend time interacting with the cheetahs through stroking, petting and giving the cheetahs water. Guests who opt for the five-star luxury accommodation packages automatically enjoy the one-on-one encounters while an optional extra package is available to other overnight guests and even day visitors.

The Can-Do Man
Rolling Stones renaissance man Ron Wood sits down with Premier Guitarto talk about his star-studded new solo album, I Feel Like Playing, hisfavorite ' 55 Strat and tweed Champ, and how he's managed to conquerthe world several times over as both a renowned guitarist and painter.
If September 23, 2010, had a single unifying theme, it had to be "seize the moment." At least for Ronnie Wood and a handful of heavy-duty guitar fans who happened to be in New York City that day. Premier Guitar's editorial director, Joe Coffey, and I had gone there to seize the rare opportunity to interview the Rolling Stone about his new solo album, I Feel Like Playing, and we'd certainly done our best to begin the adventure in keeping with the "seize the moment" theme: After touching down at JFK airport the night before, we'd jumped at the chance to eat at an Italian restaurant that, with all its vinyl and shades of brown, had to be straight out of The Godfather. And on the morning of the interview, we jumped at the chance to be personally led through NYC's labyrinthine public transit system by Sandy, a stereotype-busting Brooklyn native who happened to overhear us asking about the best route to Wood's hotel.
And that was just the beginning of the seize fest. After changing trains a couple of times and getting yelled at by a very disturbed woman in Grand Central Terminal, we finally arrived at the unbelievably swank New York Palace Hotel. We were pretty early for our interview with Wood, which was scheduled for 2 p.m. So, we stowed our bags and took advantage of the intervening hours to briefly take in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, vintage and boutique guitars at Rudy's Music, and the best lamb gyro ever (only four bucks from a street vendor!).
But the whole time we were hyper-cognizant of how easily our trip could fall apart. We had to catch a 4 o'clock train to another event (see the Experience PRS story on p. 204), which meant there was pretty much zero wiggle room if Woods' other
interviews went long. We'd be left high and dry. So we made a point of getting back to the hotel an hour early, knowing full well that things can change on a dime when you're dealing with a mega star.
And in this case, they did.
See, it seems we weren't the only ones doing all the carpe diem-ing that day. It turned out Wood had been invited to lunch with Mick Jagger, President Bill Clinton, and President Obama. The two presidents were in town for the UN General Assembly, and apparently they're big guitar nuts, too, so they rang up some pals. When we let Wood's people know we were there, they said, "Good, we'll send someone for you in 10 minutes." We were the last group of journalists to talk to Wood before the afternoon's interview schedule was pretty much obliterated by presidential order.
So we seized, baby, we seized. (Be sure tocheck out HD video excerpts at premiergui-tar.com.) You could say everyone there—us,the presidents, Jagger, Wood—was seizingthe moment, really. But as we soon foundout, that's kind of been Wood's MO hiswhole life. "I always try the impossible," hetold us. "Always think, 'Yeah, I can do that.'Nine times out of 10 it works."Indeed, at 63, Wood seems to be seiz-ing more opportunities now than ever. Anaccomplished painter, he had just comefrom opening his own exhibit at the ButlerInstitute of American Art in Youngstown,Ohio. He's got his own line of clothes atUK-based Liberty department store. Just afew months ago he reunited with his formerFaces bandmates and plans to tour withthem next year. He took the stage withEric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, DerekTrucks, and John Mayer at the CrossroadsFestival earlier this year. And his new albumfeatures guest spots by Billy Gibbons,Slash, Kris Kristofferson, Bobby Womack,and Eddie Vedder, among others. As if thatweren't enough, he's working on plans totake I Feel Like Playing to Broadway with thecast of Britain's Stomp dance troupe.
Despite being as giddy about his lunch date as we were to be in his 40th-floor corner suite, Wood was the complete gentleman as we discussed his favorite gear and what it was like to cut tracks with Slash and Gibbons—and not once did he rush the interview or act like he had to scram for more important company.
How did the new album come about?
It was a natural chain of events, really. I left home, like you do, and I had songs like "A Thing Like That" and "I Don't Think So" and lots of phrases going through my mind. I started the whole thing off with [billionaire real estate developer and film producer] Steve Bing. He said to me, "Hey, Ronnie, I wanna hear you play—people want to hear you play. I hope you don't mind, but I booked the House of Blues tonight for you. I've got [famed session drummer] Jim Keltner out there, and I've got Ivan Neville." And then I said, "Well, I've got Flea, he's in town, and I'm here with [session vocalist/ Stones backup singer] Bernard Fowler." So I said, "Come on, let's all go to the studio, then, and make a start." So, we started with "Spoonful," a number that goes down through the years and that I was inspired by—I was inspired by Howlin' Wolf. Willie Dixon wrote it. That was a nice suggestion from Bernard. He said, "Why don't we start with that one, man. You could really do

Recipe by Stacy
"Mouth-watering and easy to adjust to your personal tastes. Bakes up light and spongy. No eggs, milk or butter. My toddlers all want 2nds and 3rds of this when I make it!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary
3 cups all-purpose flour
This was very good! I made this exactly as written and thought the flavor was great. This is definately a bread for the rosemary lover. This would be great dipped in some garlic infused olive oil. I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing. :)
I tried this recipe and followed it exactly. My bread machine says to add the yeast last, but I went ahead and let it proof in the bottom of the machine bucket like the recipe says. The loaf didn't turn out at all. It smelled wonderful, but it never rose and it was a hard deflated mess.
69 Ratings
Easy. Dense bread with light crust. I used fresh herbs so doubled the amount.
Added a tiny bit more yeast and set my breadmaker on "quick rise" because I thought it a bit overproofed the first time, and I also add a touch more oil, too. Otherwise, great recipe. PARTICULARLY GOOD used as bread for hot roast beef grilled sanwiches with Tillamook Vintage White Chesddar. MMMMmmmmm. . . .
Oh my, this is the best white bread to come out of my bread machine in a long time. I followed the recipe exactly, but put the ingredients into the pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer of my machine, NOT in the order listed here. I used bread machine yeast, so did not proof the yeast in the water; I added the water and oil, then the flour, then the spices, salt, and sugar around the edge, and put the yeast in a little crater in the middle. My machine makes 2-3 lb loaves so I set in on white, two pound, light crust, and it rose up so fluffy and perfect. Great sandwich bread too! I've printed this recipe and can't wait to make more.
Terrific recipe! I brought it to a dinner party, and it was a big hit with the crowd. Served with soft butter or olive oil, it is the perfect (and simplest!) appetizer.
This is the best recipe my bread machine has ever made! The recipe is excellent and was gone in about an hour! Reading other reviews, the bread came out dense. However my loaf came out light and fluffy! I after the 10 minute yeast/ sugar wait, I added olive oil, then the mixed seasonings and salt, and finally the flour. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with my loaf coming out fluffy but HOORAY! GREAT LOAF!!
It turned out just like the photo and the taste is wonderful. For my machine is was a 2lb rapid loaf 1.5 hours on lite crust, then let it cool.
