|Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
Re: How do I read POST data that is not encoded, and was submitted without a parameter nameby sevensven (Pilgrim)

Great post Robin, thanks for the memory lane ;^)
Now, in my previous post to c-era previous question, I said that you could use CGI.pm (using the sample upload script that you where providing) and that was true, but only if the post data came encoded, wich it did since LWP::UserAgent plays nice with CGI and encodes the data.
CGI.pm cannot be used directly to solve your problem because it uses &; as CGI parameters separators and it will get confused by your XML sample file (as you can see if you send the CGI instance into Dumper)
The code in CGI.pm thats prevents its use is :
Now, I do agree that CGI.pm gives you a nice framework with things like carping to browser, etc., and if I said previously that CGI.pm could be used, I'll make him behave :^)
You can create a new module, let us call it xmlCGI.pm, wich inherits from CGI.pm and redefines parse_params
xmlCGI.pm could be something like this :
Every cgi that uses xmlCGI.pm will receive a parameter named xml with all the post data.
Now, as with my previous post, I've got working code to back my claims ;^)-- sevensven or nana korobi, ya oki

What are your favourite/best Mac games? You wishlist for Mac?
Posted 03 March 2019 - 06:39 AM
These are the favourite Mac games, Mac games I consider the best:
- Doom 3: Played it on Windows and later replayed it on the Mac and it's still a fantastic FPS.
- Prey: See Doom 3: Simply a fantastic and very original FPS.
- Mafia II: Played the first game on Windows and considered it a great game with a beautiful and very good story and a soundtrack which delivers a good atmosphere. Played Mafia II on the Mac and it's even better than the first game. Just a shame the game's so short and there's no free-ride. The game's just so good, after finishing it wished there was more of it.
- Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun: Commandos and Desperados were very good and enjoyable games. This game just takes all that's good about those games and even manages to improve them. After finishing it I wished there was more of it. The same developers are now working on Desperados III, which I'm really looking forward to.
These games have already been released for the Mac, but I haven't had the time to play them, but they're definitely on my wishlist:
- Rage: I've always enjoyed games from id Software and I'm sure I'll also enjoy this one.
- Mafia III: From what I've heard it's not of the same quality as the first two games in the series, but I'd still want to play it.
- The new Tomb Raider games: They look like enjoyable games of good quality.
- The Metro games: They look very interesting and having the option to play the game with Russian voices is a big plus for me. I also played Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun in Japanese. It just adds to the realism of the game.
- The Life is Strange games: I like games with a good storyline and these games seem to have a very good one.
These games don't have a Mac release, but they would be an instant buy for me if they were released for the Mac:
- The 2016 iteration of Doom and the upcoming Doom: Eternal: I've played the 2016 version of Doom on Windows and it's a really good FPS.
- The new Wolfenstein games.
- The upcoming Rage 2: Unfortunately Rage was the last game from id Software to be released for the Mac. The new Doom and Wolfenstein games are only available for Windows, so I don't think we can expect Rage 2 to be released for the Mac.
- The updated version of Age of Empires II (HD edition or whatever it's called): I've played the original Age of Empires II for hundreds of hours back in the days on Windows and even today I play it from time to time. I never get bored from playing skirmish missions in this game.
- Far Cry: Also an older game, but stil very enjoyable. It's a game that get's incredibly difficult towards the end, but I've always considered it to be a very good FPS.
- Max Payne and Max Payne 2: I think both of them have been released for PPC. It's a shame macOS doesn't have the backwards compatibility of Windows, because I've always enjoyed these games and would really want to play them again without having to rely on Windows.
- Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: See the Max Payne games.
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Again, see the Max Payne games.
- Mafia: The second and third game of the series are available for the Mac. The first one is also a very good game and I'd really like to be able to play the whole series on my Mac without having to rely on Windows for the first one.

Max Payne 1 was released by MacSoft back in the day. Im sure you could get the windows versions of 1 and 2 to work in Wine since theyre old enough.
Loved Shadow Tactics too. Cant wait for Desperados.
My top five Mac games are Alpha Centauri, Riven, Baldurs Gate II, Ferazels Wand, and Warcraft III. I think Im old.

I first saw Unreal running on Mac at MacWorld Expo on a Mac edition Voodoo card. I really enjoyed the immersive atmosphere of the game. If it had better writer-ship, akin to that of the Marathon series (1 & 2 are on this list for me, Infinity didn't do it for me) and original Halo, another two great games, it would have been a lot more memorable.
Games I've played (finished or not) and really enjoyed; Prey, Diablo III, Doom 3, RAGE (ending was typing id), Falcon 4.0, Max Payne 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Dead Effect, Dying Light, Half Life 2, Left for Dead 2, Mad Max, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (great action!), Metro: 2033 & Last Light, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, SOMA, Tomb Raider (& Rise of), Torchlight (haven't played II yet), Dragon Age: Origins, The Talos Principle, Portal 1 & 2, and Shadow Warrior.
Honorable mention: Arashi. I'm still waiting for someone to port it from the 68k code.
Wishlist (instant buy if made available for macOS); NIER: Automata, Fallout 4, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (already own via Steam), Ashen, Death Stranding (I'll keep smoking), Killing Floor 2, Witchfire (Not Released but would be my rare pre-order), Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us (2 is looking amazing), Mass Effect 1 & 2, Inside, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, anything else?

+ Uninvited. (and if we're really going prehistoric, Sacred Armour of Antiriad on the C64, and Rocket Ranger and Faery Tale on the Amiga).
Anyway. My favourite games on the Mac from more recent times; the Infinity Engine RPGs, Dragon Age Origins, Spiderweb Software's Exile/Avernum series, Diablo II, the original Torchlight, WoW (boo), the Life is Strange series, Planetbase, Tomb Raider Anniversary.
And yes, I'd love to see a release of Skyrim for the Mac (laughter).

Yeah, I also don't have high hopes the third Metro game is going to make it to the Mac, but let's just hope it will.
I still own the Windows versions of Max Payne and Max Payne 2. It's a shame you can just install old games (or whatever software) on Windows and most of the times it just works while compatibility of Mac versions keeps on breaking over and over again. The switch from Mac OS Classic to Mac OS X, the switch from PowerPC to Intel and now the end of 32-bit is going to kill compatibility for even more games and apps. I'd wish I could just buy old games for the Mac from eBay and just install and play them like Windows users can. It's a shame we have to rely on Windows versions even though the game was actually released for the Mac back in the days.

That's exactly what I've been doing for several years now: Don't read anything about the actual story, because I know it's a story-driven game and knowing what's going to happen would completely destroy the experience.

I still have to play the Witcher games. I know they're really good, but I still have to find the time to play them. Considering the fact the Witcher games are of such high quality their new game also has be good. Everything looks very promising.

I'm just repeating what other people are saying. I don't have any experience developing games, but I'd just expect at least some programming skills would be useful.
I've just remembered another game that I'd love to see on the Mac: F.E.A.R. What a fantastic game this was: Beautiful graphics, great gameplay, nice atmosphere and maybe the best A.I. in a game ever. I own the Windows version and a Mac release would be an instant buy for me.

PoP was incredible. It was the first side-scroller I ever played. I dont think Ive ever felt so accomplished beating a twitch-based game since.
One of my childhood memories I can distinctly remember as a kid is finding the sequel in Best Buy (I dont think I was aware it existed) and rolling around on the floor begging my dad to let me get it. Luckily he said yes.

Saigyo's best poetry was written while quietly observing nature from his mountain home. In a spring poem entitled 'The Bush Warbler Idling', he compares himself to that reclusive bird. Saigyo is alone in his hut, like the bird: Seeping through the haze, the voice of the bush warbler— few people passing, mountain village in spring. This poem evokes the sound of gentle spring rains, and gives us a glimpse of the poet's frame of mind: Curtained by spring showers pouring down from the eaves, a place where someone lives, idle, idle, unknown to others. He identifies his lonely hermit hut with his physical body, expressing the spirituality of his beliefs: If I can find no place fit to live, let me live no place— in this hut of sticks flimsy as the world itself.

Satō Norikiyo (佐藤義清) was born in 1118 in Kyoto to a noble and a fairly wealthy family, and grew up studying martial arts and training to serve the emperor. During his teens, he became a private guard for the emperor Toba, who had abdicated his throne. Satō Norikiyo witnessed the traumatic transition of power from the old court nobles to the new samurai warriors. After the start of the Age of Mappō (1052) , Buddhism was considered to be in decline and no longer effective as a means of salvation. These cultural shifts contributed to the sense of melancholy or sabishisa in his poetry.

In 1140 at the age of twenty-two, for reasons now unknown, Satō quit worldly life to become a monk. He later took the pen name, Saigyō meaning Western Journey, a reference to Amida Buddha and the Western paradise, and spent the rest of his life traveling throughout Japan, returning to the capital periodically to participate in imperial ceremonies. He lived alone for long periods of his life in Saga, Mt. Koya, Mt. Yoshino, Ise, and many other places, but he is best known for his many long, poetic journeys to Northern Honshū, which later inspired Basho in his Oku no Hosomichi" ("Narrow Road to the Deep Interior) .

Sankashu (Mountain Hut Anthology) , his major work, contains poems on love and other seasonal and miscellaneous topics. The Mimosusogawa utaawase ("Poetry Contest at Mimosusu River") is a poetic masterpiece in which he pitted his own poems against each other. Many of his poems are included in the imperial anthology Shin kokin-shu. He wrote about solitude and loneliness, often using images from nature to portray his emotions.

2018 truly was a year of up and downs, from the rallies and marches for freedom, rights, and protection for all and a more diverse representation on the big and small screen, to the disastrous state of politics, particularly sexual and gender politics, all over the world.
But we, the people, continue to fight – and especially the LGBTQ community has been making waves that should not go on ignored. So a bunch of our 4YE editors got together to highlight some of their very favorite moments of the year. These include influential people, specific movies, tv shows, games, plays, and plenty more.
There was so much to talk about that we needed to split this up into two parts.
So, without further ado, let a brief but nonetheless very personal review of #20GayTeen in popular culture commence!
The second annual ClexaCon was in April, and it was amazing to see how much it had grown from its first year. There's a million cons out there nowadays, but the thing that makes ClexaCon stand out is that it focuses on and celebrates queer women in all forms of media. The weekend is filled with important conversations about representation and a chance to meet some of the people helping to bring that positive representation on screen. Clexacon is a chance for a lot of LGBTQ people to relax and be themselves and be surrounded by their people and it's always a good time.
ClexaCon is also the place where I had an opportunity to meet Chyler Leigh and she held my hand and really, how can that not go on a review list??
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
Last year, if you had told me that I would be putting an Assassin's Creed video game on an LGBTQ review, I would have called you crazy, but here we are. This year, Ubisoft did something they hadn't done before and added an RPG aspect to Assassin's Creed: Odyssey in addition to giving players a choice of playing a male or female character. While not the first opportunity to play a female character in the franchise, it was the first time players were given the option to ONLY play a female character side eyes Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.
The gameplay is pretty much the same if you pick Alexios or Kassandra and you can romance men and women, giving you the opportunity for a hella queer game. AKA a chance for every queer women to finally fulfill their fantasy of running around Ancient Greece and seducing every woman possible.
Hayley Kiyoko
2018 was the year of Hayley Kiyoko. Despite making music for years and having released three Eps prior, Hayley released her debut album Expectations in March. This was followed by a North American Tour in Spring, as well as a European leg in the fall of 2018 (which will continue early in 2019). She also toured with Panic! at the Disco in the summer and performed with Taylor Swift during her Reputation tour – because why take things slow when you're on a roll.
The openly gay singer also released music videos for her singles "Curious" in January and "What I Need" in May, both of which have already surpassed 15 million views. And her first music video, "Girls Like Girls" (2015) has just crossed the 100 million views mark in December. But those are not the only milestones in Miss Kiyoko's life in 2018. She also won the Push Artist of the Year award at the 2018 VMAs in New York City, a win which she dedicated to queer women of colour, and Billboard named her their Rising Star at the Billboard Women in Music event (an evening she spent flirting with Ariana Grande like the boss she is). NPR named her one of the most influential women in music of the 21st century, alongside the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga or Rihanna. Not a bad bunch of queens to be thrown in a pot with.
After struggling with her sexuality for many years Kiyoko is now living her very best life while her fans celebrate her as "Lesbian Jesus". Her music videos, many of which she directs herself, depict lesbian relationships in order to normalize them, and her video for "One Bad Night" sheds light on violence against transgender women. She continues to be an advocate for LGBTQ rights and a source of hope for queer women everywhere. After the VMA's she said her win was "proof that every time someone tells you 'no' because you're not straight enough, masculine enough, feminine enough, or simply that you are just not enough, you are more than enough. And you can do this. So keep going."
I am thankful for Hayley's art, for having songs and truly stunning music videos depicting female-female relationships as normal, and playful, and challenging, as sensual and incredibly sexy but never oversexualized, as all the things they can be. This art is offering women-loving-women a platform, whether they be lesbian, bisexual or pan, and has created this wonderful community of support where, more often than not, the LGBTQ community is made out to be "the other". Thank you, Hayley, for making 2018 a little bit more bearable.
Another influential musician this year was Ashley Frangipane, better known to many as Halsey. She began 2018 hot off of her second album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, which debuted in summer 2017. HFK, more so than Halsey's other work, includes references to her bisexuality with songs about same-sex relationships, such as her collaboration with Lauren Jauregui, "Strangers". Halsey has been incredibly open about her sexuality, and has been a vocal activist. She was awarded the GLAAD award for Outstanding Music Artist in May 2018, and used her acceptance speech to offer information on homeless youth, especially amongst those that identify as LGBTQ, and encouraged others to get involved with local shelters.
On January 20th, Halsey attended the Women's March in New York City, and delivered an emotional rendition of a poem she wrote called "A Story Like Mine". She addressed her own experiences of sexual assault and about how she performed through a miscarriage, before calling for action, and asking for inclusivity. "But we are not free until all of us are free, so love your neighbor, please treat her kindly, ask her story and then shut up and listen", the actress said. "Black, Asian, poor, wealthy, trans, cis, Muslim, Christian. Listen, listen and then yell at the top of your lungs, be a voice for all those who have prisoner tongues".
Halsey spent most of 2018 touring the globe, from the US and South America to Australia, Asia and Europe, before dropping her most successful solo single ever yet, "Without Me". She went on to perform the very personal song countless times, from late night talk shows and the EMAs to the Victoria Secret's annual fashion show. However, after comments made by Victoria Secret's Chief Marketing Officer about how plus-size and transgender models are not part of the "fantasy" they are trying to sell, Halsey took to Instagram. She said she had "no tolerance for a lack of inclusivity" and made a sizeable donation to GLSEN, a charity protecting LGBTQ youth.
And yet, no other performance sparked as much controversy as her latest performance of the song on The Voice. During the finale of the competition series Halsey performed the song alongside dancer Jade Chynoweth. Their interpretative dance has had the homophobes raging, expressing their anger over its overtly sexual nature. Halsey remained unbothered, stating she was proud to upset less tolerant viewers. The young singer has previously expressed annoyance about people oversexualising the same-sex couples in her music videos, and set the record straight that they "do a lot more than pretend to finger each other with giant acrylic nails, which doesn't happen in real life, by the way."
Oh Ashley, there's truly no one who gives less of a damn about heteronormativity and gender norms and looks so damn good while doing it. Stay angry babe, and use that pain for good – like that third album we are all waiting for. Halsey is an artist I'd be proud to fight alongside.
Love, Simon
In Spring of 2018, 20th Century Fox released the romantic comedy Love, Simon, based on the book Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli, and while it may not have been the most critically acclaimed film of the year, it was still a massively important one.
Love, Simon tells the story of a teenage boy trying to make sense of his sexuality while keeping this big secret from his friends and family. He finds a friend in "Blue", another gay kid at his school whose identity is unknown. They strike up a friendship, and eventually more, via email but when Simon wants to meet the other boy, Blue stops contact. Things go from bad to worse when the emails are leaked and Simon's homosexuality is revealed to the whole school, as well as his family. Simon's family and friends are supportive and eventually both Blue and Simon gather the courage to seek each other out.
We follow Simon through his journey from insecurity through the distress of having your coming out taken from you to finally accepting who you truly are. But we also witness him falling in love. While there have been many movies depicting LGBTQ relationships (most notably Brokeback Mountain or Blue is the Warmest Colour) Love, Simon is the first big-budget wide-release blockbuster to feature a gay lead AND have a happy ending. It's a feel-good film which isn't meant to alienate. It's a motion picture intended for mass consumption which depicts a happy non-hetero relationship, and while that shouldn't be a milestone it is. And it makes us so damn happy.
What are your personal favourite LGBTQ moments of the year?

Primary schools already operating book rental schemes are to be allowed to avail of a State funding programme originally established to support the setting up of new schemes only.
Around €8m will be shared among schools, amounting to between €18 and €20 per child, depending on whether or not they are categorised as disadvantaged.
The Government made €15m available in the last Budget.
The funding was originally intended as a support for primary schools that had yet to set up a book rental scheme.
However, schools with existing schemes complained that they were being punished for having shown initiative by establishing rental schemes without special State support.
The Department of Education said 400 schools applied for seed capital under the programme.
However, €8.3m has yet to be spent.
It has been decided to distribute this balance among schools with existing rental schemes.

My research follows three axes. First, I am interested in the use of novel technologies as cognitive augmentations, both at the level of individuals and collectives of individuals. Second, I am also working on philosophical issues relating to technological change. Finally, I am interested in the analogical interface between technological and biological evolution, which leads me to worry about issues of interdisciplinary collaboration and interfaces.

The SNP have selected their candidates to fight next year's European election which is set to take place just a few short months before the Independence referendum.
Delegates to the party's spring conference in Inverness selected six from a strong field of fifteen who wish to represent the party in Brussels and Strasbourg.
The SNP's two sitting MEPs, Alyn Smith and Ian Hudghton, are joined by four others who will be ranked by party members in the next few months.
Commenting, Alyn Smith MEP said:
"I am delighted and grateful to have been reselected to fight next year's European election for the SNP.
"The next year is a hugely important one for the SNP and Scotland. The European elections will serve as a direct pre-cursor to the independence referendum with roughly three months separating visits to the ballot box.
"What I and the SNP will be doing between now and then is showing how our work in Europe is delivering for Scotland now. From winning a better deal for our farmers to ensuring our universities have fair access to research funding, we've been able to do a lot for Scotland but we would be able to do so much more as a full Member State in the European Union.
"I look forward to delivering that message on the high streets and doorsteps across Scotland with my fellow candidates between now and next year."

Some people refuse to use the word failure. Instead, they substitute words like slip-up, setback, glitch, mistake—or at least frame the failure in a positive light. Take IBM founder Thomas Watson, for example. He was legendary for his ability to turn a serious mistake into a...

Add Drop Shadow Effect To Your Pictures Online
As you might have noticed, adding the drop shadow effect to pictures and screenshots make them look a lot nicer on a website.
Here is a screenshot of my blog without the drop shadow effect:
If you want something faster and easier to use there is a online tool called dropshadowz.net. You just need to upload your picture and within 10 seconds you'll be able to download it with the drop shadow effect added. Definitely worth a bookmark.

I use Photoshop for adding Drop shadows but the tool makes it faster especially if we are in a hurry. Thanks for the link Daniel! 😉
Mir Imran Elahi
Thanks Daniel for sharing this tool
Excellent I'll be downloading that later. I wondered how you achieved that and yes looks really cool. Many thanks
Working fine for me. Good share. I need this feature badly as my blog is all about picture and photography.
HP van Duuren
Yeah, that's a great idea it adds a little more depth to it,
although currently I hardly ever use photo's on my Blogs yet.
I know there are lot's of places where you can buy – or get Photo's, only currently – even on my Digital Camera-ideas Blog – I hardly ever place photo's. I am however working on building my own – Stock Photo Catalogue – and already have hundreds of photo's in several catagories, I also have a special web-address where I have some of my photo's published.
Thanks for your post, it's something to keep in mind it might actually be an interesting idea to share with my Digital Camera-ideas Blog readers….,
All the Best,
To your Happy – Blogging – Inspiration,
Good tip! I uploaded some pics and gives a "deeper" look of your pics.
Sean M Kelly
To be honest I can't see any difference!

It can also be done with CSS. Add a class to your theme and then you can add it to any photo, but also be able to add it to divs and other block level elements.
.shadow-right {
/* Add the Shadow */
-moz-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #505050;
-webkit-box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #505050;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-bottom: 6px;
padding: 0px;
Bali Homeland
I prefer this way, using CSS rather than editing the image. Because when you get bored with the drop shadow style, you can just remove the CSS.
Previously I just confuse whether to border the image or not to border the image. But this post bring better idea, drop shadow 🙂
Daniel Likin
Hi Jason,
Thanks for you trick, anyway, can you tell me how to move the shadow effect to the top and left position, instead of right and bottom.
Daniel Likin
I think my reply got marked as spam. Here's the short version…
Change the first 2 "4px" to "-4px", it's that simple.
- Jason
Daniel Likin
Thanks bro.. It worked
- Bali Homeland
Took me a minute to figure this one out also. I was looking for a shadow inside the screen shot not of the screen shot itself. I use Snaggit and there is a drop shadow feature there. Never really thought about this though.
Daniel Likin
Hi Daniel Scocco,
Before commenting to this article, i must tell you first that i have become a big fan of your blog since the day i read one of your blog post called Blog Post Checklist.
That article has blown me away, and i've also learn something from that article, and the lesson is, it only takes 1 article for a person to love a blog. Wow. Hope i can make such a brilliant post like yours for my blog in the future.
Anyway, Drop Shadow Effect has become one of the most important thing every time i insert picture to my blog. I usually used the image editing feature from Microsoft Power Point (the 2007 version), as it offers great feature to modernize the look for our posted image in the article.
But, i'll also give it a try for your recommendation.
Daniel Likin
Bash Bosh
This is a very good and effective online tool indeed. But if you are a blogger, you can use a much simpler solution.
Windows Live Writer is a blogging software, developed only for a bloggers. Allows you to do so much necessary things, including to add shadows to your images (+ much more other effects and borders) automatically.
But, if you are not a blogger – this tool can be useful for you!
Daniel Scocco
Well not everyone uses Windows 🙂 .
Bash Bosh
lol you're right 🙂

Ron Pereira
Oh, duh! Now I see it… the whole webpage has the effect. Going for another cup of coffee now. Ha!
Ron Pereira
Being truthful I can't tell the difference between the two images you share. Both seem to called "dbt5?"
But I am a huge fan of the drop shadow… use it on just about every image I use. I actually use Snagit editor as I can quickly resize, add the effect, and save. But it's not free!
Dinesh @ DailyBlogMoney
Thats a good share.
When we use wordpress admin panel to publish a post somewhere with different computer, this online tool will be helpful.
The link is working fine here too.
Find All Answers
Strange that the link goes to Google either when clicked directly or if I copy paste the address to the address bar.
Interesting thing though.
It will be great if you could fix the link Daniel.
Daniel Scocco
It's working fine here. Are you sure it's not your browser?
It redirects to Google for me too on Firefox, Chrome is fine…

Nope this is not another blog in support of Elon Musk, it is another obituary.
Adam West the caped crusader of my youth died yesterday.
Batman and his pow-zap-wham-splatt Roy Lichtenstein pop type choreographed fights with the henchmen of the Penguin and the Joker was not available on the TWW TV channel in Wales, well at least not in our living room on our black and white TV.
It was only during the occasional visit to my grandmother's sisters house in Chatham Kent that I got a glimpse of Batman and Robin in the early evenings eating a Shippam's paste sandwich and roast chicken flavour crisps off a plastic plate.
Its about the only memory I have of those visits apart form doing the Hokey Cokey with "aunt" Molly and and her husband Les at their local club and a special lightbulb that heated the bathroom of their Bungalow.
Batman was a revelation, I had no idea he was American, I had very little understanding of what was America. Batman was a step towards adolescence from Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation of Torchy the Battery Boy, Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray.
Catwoman was always going to be lot more interesting than Aqua Marina. Gerry Anderson still had Space 1999 up his sleeve.
I stopped buying Commando war comics and shouting "himmel" and "ausweis bitte" in the playground and instead read DC and Marvel purchased before the Washington Cinema Saturday club from Mr Snell.
I stopped drawing aerial battles between Spitfires and ME109's and started drawing Batman, Thor, the Silver surfer and Captain America.
The grey spandex TV super hero with his yellow utility belt was the bees knees until the arrival of Napoleon Solo a few years later.
I have the original corgi car, Batman and Robin are still in their seats.
Atomic Batteries to power Adam West.

Bluegrass Beacon: Clinton's backflip on charter schools 'a step backwards'
Hillary Clinton supported charter schools before being endorsed by the big teachers' unions and receiving access to their cash and get-out-the-vote efforts.
Clinton wrote in her memoir "It Takes a Village" that she favors "promoting choice among public schools," while later claiming "charter schools are a way of bringing teachers and parents and communities together."
Now, after guzzling union-flavored Kool-Aid, Clinton is flip-flopping so hard against reasonable education reforms, including charter schools – claiming they "don't take the hardest-to-teach kids, or, if they do, they don't keep them," that even President Obama's supporters howl.
Peter Cunningham, an assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Education during Obama's first term, disapproves of the Democratic Party platform on "The 74," claiming it "affirms an education system that denies its shortcomings and is unwilling to address them."
A report from the highly respected Manhattan Institute in Clinton's adopted state of New York suggests her newfound claims are flat wrong, finding that students who are disabled, learning English or performing low on standardized tests "are as likely to remain in charters as in traditional public schools."
Charter-school opponents in Kentucky have pushed similar misinformation for the past several years.
One of their favorite claims: charter schools get rid of disruptive, troubled or low-performing students whereas traditional public schools must accept all enrollees. Therefore, the argument goes, charters appear to perform better in many areas of the country because of such attrition.
However, Manhattan's analysis of enrollment and test-score data from New York City, Denver and an anonymous urban Midwest school district "found that low-performing students are just as likely to exit traditional public schools as they are to exit charters."
The Wall Street Journal editorial page responded to Clinton's backflip by suggesting: "If you want to see public schools that really don't tolerate disruptive students, go to your average rich suburban school."
Charter schools are more likely to attract those students in danger of failing in the traditional public schools to which they have been assigned; these are the students about which charter-school opponents – which now apparently includes Clinton – feign concern.
According to the Center for Education Reform, a greater percentage of charter-school versus traditional-school enrollees are black (28 percent to 16 percent), Hispanic (28 percent to 23 percent) or qualify for free and reduced-price lunches (63 percent to 48 percent).
Charters in growing cities like Atlanta aren't only enrolling more minority and low-income students, but they're succeeding in getting these children to a level of academic proficiency that gives them a fighting chance in life.
Black students in Atlanta charter schools significantly outperformed their fellow blacks in traditional public schools in nearly every key academic category on the 2015 National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP), including in fourth-grade reading (216-199) and eighth-grade reading (266-243) and math (278-255).
Meanwhile, Kentucky School Report Cards show the academic-achievement gap between black and white eighth-graders in the Jefferson County Public Schools – Kentucky's largest school district – widened between 2012 and 2015 on the ACT's EXPLORE test results in all key academic areas, including English, math, reading and science.
The students on the losing end of this gap are the ones who would most benefit from charters in Kentucky – one of only seven states that still doesn't allow charter schools.
Obama supporter Cunningham calls out Clinton and the Democratic Party platform for its proposed restrictions on charters in ways that would make them less effective.
It's "a step backwards" that will particularly harm "low-income black and Hispanic children," he adds.
Kentucky Democrats should take a cue from Cunningham and embrace the approach taken by many of their fellow Dems nationwide, including United States Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., who, when he was Delaware's governor, not only signed a bill opening his state to charter schools, but also enrolled his two sons in charters.
More than 14,000 children are enrolled in Delaware's charters today because a Democratic governor dared to put his bill-signing pen where his principles – not teachers'-union lackeys – stand.

After cleverly adapting such hit series over recent years as True Blood (True Mud) and Mad Men for its G-rated audience,Sesame Street has finally paid homage to its awards-winning PBS peer Downton Abbey. The parody, Upside Downton Abbey, filters the Crawley household down to its two most authoritative characters, the Dowager Countess and Carson, as they attempt to serve and eat entry-level British foods (tea! crumpets! steak-and-kidney pie!)—a task that would be much easier to accomplish if their sprawling Yorkshire estate were not situated upside down. "Well, of course everything is upside down," puppet Dowager Countess snaps to puppet Carson after he drops another dish onto the ceiling. "This isUpside Downton Abbey!" We very much look forward to future episodes in which Lady Mary plays hide-and-go-seek with a sleepy Turkish diplomat and Bates is sentenced to an indefinite period of time-out. Watch the clip below—at the very least, to see Maggie Smith re-created in fuzzy puppet form.

New One Piece Pirate Musou Trailer Sets Sail
Have you been keeping an eye on One Piece Kaizoku Musou? I haven't, but after seeing this newly released trailer I definitely regret that. The art style of the anime has been captured wonderfully and the environments look great. It definitely looks a lot better than any of Koei's other 'Musou' games. The trailer is a whole four and a half minutes long, and it shows off plenty of combat, adventuring, characters and general awesomeness.
I expected something really special after hearing about Namco-Bandai and Tecmo Koei partnering up and was greatly disappointed to learn it was a One Piece game. After seeing this trailer, my interest has definitely been piqued. One Piece Kaizoku Musou currently has no North American release date but will go on sale in Japan on March 1st. Hit the break for the trailer.

NY Newsday: Muslim Leaders upset at Prophet Muhammad drawings
When the 1988 film, "The Last Temptation of Christ," in which Jesus is tempted to live out his life with Mary Magdalene, the Islamic Circle of North America, based in Jamaica, Queens, joined with some Christians in protest. They did the same when an artist at the Brooklyn Museum of Art depicted Jesus as a naked woman, said Assistant Secretary General Azeem Khan.
"We interact with non-Muslims every day," he said. "We understand the misconceptions. Overseas, there's just an expression of anger that's just reinforcing a negative image."
Muslims are taught from the time they are young to try to emulate Muhammad in their everyday lives, by treating neighbors with respect and generosity, and completing good deeds. The Islamic Circle of North America distributes biographies that speak to Muhammad's virtues.
Azeem Khan, of the Islamic Circle, said another part of their efforts to show the beauty of their faith involves turning the camera on themselves.
"With so much negative propaganda, we realize we have to document our own community," he said. The New York chapter of his national organization has its own media department, recording their events by photography.

Diets that leads to belly fat reduction| April 28, 2017
Naturally, our body isn't meant to store fat, It might raise your eyebrows, but it is what it is, and the science has proved it as well. So this means that cutting the food from your routine in order to cut pounds is neither a safe way nor an effective one. The people who are living their life while choosing what to eat or not and counting their calories are living their life in a lie. Actually, in order to lose weight in a proper and healthy way, you just have to respect your body's natural hunger and sleeping rhymes. If you are doing these two things right then you do not have soaring energy levels but also a slim and sleek body.
There is a word CRAP that is being very strongly used in a belly fat reduction diet. It is a short form for certain kinds of foods that if you are preventing can lead to a flattened belly that you always have ever wanted. C stands for caffeine R for refined sugar A stands for Alcohol and P means processed foods. These are such types of foods that cause more negative to your body than the positives. These items are also termed as the biggest enemies of a flattened belly. So before starting the following amazing foods for belly fat reduction, It is necessary that you say goodbye to these set of food items.
There is a reason that we call some of the foods as belly-flattening foods. The first reason is that they naturally satisfy your body's need for food and as well as taste. These food items have a tendency to give you a good night's sleep. It is scientifically proven that by having a good sleep cycle you not only enjoy a good health but belly fat also stay away. You will observe that if you are not getting a good sleep in the right time you will get into bad eating habits and thus your food craving will rapidly increase.
Here are a few food options as a diet plan to reduce belly fat. The main thing here is to focus on foods that are high in Monosaturated Fats (MUFA) as they help burn belly fat. This article is just a trailer the more detailed content about belly fat reduction is available in https://fitbeautysalon.com/product/weight-loss/
Day by day the advantages of eating fish are increasing and especially in light of current learning you will even love the fish more as ever you have loved it before. We know from consistent scientific learnings that when your eating regimen is inadequate in omega-3s, the characteristic rhythms of pineal gland—the pea-like gland in the focal point of your cerebrum—are perplexed, prompting modifications in the generation of melatonin, your rest hormone. Creatures with an omega-3 shortfall don't rest amid their standard rest periods—they're up and turning in their wheels a similar way that people with sleep deprivation do.
An eating regimen rich in omega-3s, then again, can support heart wellbeing, bring down your danger of dementia, and enhance your fields. With respect to weight reduction, numerous omega-3 bearers are rich in protein. Furthermore, a great many studies affirm that Protein makes you feel full. You even consume a larger number of calories processing protein than you do when you eat fats or carbs. Step by step instructions to get your measurements: If you aren't eating a lot of omega-rich nourishments—think sardines, salmon, halibut, walnuts, flax seeds, and dull verdant greens—you ought to be! In the event that you aren't getting enough effortlessly, you can take fish or flax seed oil supplement.
Oat Meal:
There is still much open deliberation whether it's beneficial for you or not. In any case, the truth of the matter is that oats taste incredible and it keeps you more full for such a great amount of longer than some other sustenance. It's likewise loaded with fiber. Make a point to choose plain oats as opposed to the seasoned kind, as the last is loaded with fake enhancing and sugar.
As though you required another reason to eat nuts, these greasy vegetables are an awesome wellspring of a state of mind boosting magnesium. Without enough magnesium in your body, the piece of the cerebrum that directs melatonin is misled, disturbing your rest. An uptick in magnesium is the thing that advises creatures it's a great opportunity to rest—for us, not having enough of it might assume a part in regular emotional issue (SAD), the dejection—and carb-longing for—condition brought on by the low light of winter.
A recent report by USDA analysts, distributed in Magnesium Research, found that magnesium supplementation can help individuals who experience serious difficulties to nap calmly as the night progressed. One gathering of the 100 tossers and turners over age 51 was given 320 milligrams of magnesium a day, while the other gathering was given a carbon copy fake treatment. Following 7 weeks, those taking the magnesium were resting better, and, as a reward, had brought down levels of unsafe irritation, a maverick response by the resistant framework that is ensnared in coronary illness, growth, diabetes, and Alzheimer's infection.
Olive Oil:
Whenever you're cooking, make sure to incorporate the more olive oil. The hormones present in the olive oil trap your cerebrum into feeling that your stomach is full. You could even take a stab at expending a tablespoon of olive oil 15-20 minutes before your supper with a specific end goal to eat less.
This natural product is loaded with MUFA and contains elevated amounts of beta-sitosterol that assistance to battle midsection fat. Attempt to incorporate a greater amount of this organic product in your breakfast and in your plates of mixed greens to stock up on its advantages.
Just around your bedtime, crunch on a couple of tart Montmorency fruits. These fruits are one of the various plant-based wellsprings of melatonin, the rest hormone. (Bananas and corn have it, as well.) While there's no confirmation that they'll help you fall asleep, thinks about having found that sustenances like these can bring melatonin step up in the body. Does melatonin help you rest, as well as it's an effective cell reinforcement that can shield your cells from free radical harm, the kind that prompts malignancy, Alzheimer's, and different ailments? That ought to help you rest simple. The most effective method to get your dosage: Eat them entirety! In case you're not a devotee of fruits, drink the juice. In a current review, individuals who drank 8 ounces of a tart cherry squeeze in the morning and another 8 ounces at night for 2 weeks detailed they rested all the more soundly.

The early days of American immigration had certain standards for those entering the country.
It was an orderly process. There were designated areas where immigrants were screened. If you check immigration records, you can see dates, names, point of entry, etc. My oldest son is investigating the records of his great-grandparents who immigrated from Italy. He found the Petition for Naturalization for the DeMar side of the Family.
Integration into the American way of life was a high priority. Learning English was a must, even though my grandparents struggled with their new language. On my mother's side, my grandfather moved the family closer to the city of Pittsburgh with his large family (12 children) for more opportunities.
Immigrants had to make a case for their entry into the United States. There was a process and rules to follow. The vast majority of immigrants embraced the underlying Christian values of the nation.

Can we trust our government to do a thorough screening process? That's the big question. We're getting promises, but we've given promises before.
How times have changed. The United States is about to change because the standards for immigration have changed. Islamic radicals are using our nation's very liberal immigration laws to seek entry.
The following is from Front Page Magazine. The entire article is worth your time to read:
"Before 9/11, the trial run for the attack was the World Trade Center bombing. The key figures in that attack, from Ramzi Yousef, the nephew of 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, to the Blind Sheikh, whose ambitious plans involved bombing New York bridges and tunnels, asked for political asylum.
"Ramzi Yousef showed up with a fake passport and claimed to be an Iraqi refugee seeking political asylum. He was released on his own recognizance and told to show up for a hearing. He never did.
"His co-conspirator, Ahmed Ajaj, went on filing for political asylum even while under arrest for his role in the World Trade Center bombing. Their pals, Mahmud Abouhalima, who routinely told passengers that 'In Islam, the people are the weapons,' and Mohammed Salameh, were illegal aliens who had applied for amnesty as agricultural workers. But they didn't go on to pick lettuce or blueberries."

Recently we changed the name of these procedures from dental cleanings, "dentals" or "dental prophylaxis" to CORE, as it is more representative of the complicated work that goes into a "dental".
CORE stands for Comprehensive Oral and Radiographic Examination.
During a CORE, we examine your pet's mouth for any tooth fractures, ulcers, oral masses, inflammation, swelling or other abnormalities. We use an ultrasonic scaler to clean the calculus from the teeth, then measure the gumline for any hidden pockets. Pockets occur where the bone has receded away from the tooth due to the accumulation of bacteria. We perform full mouth radiographs (x-rays) in order to examine the integrity of each tooth, and confirm the overall health of the tooth, above as well as below the gumline. We can then make an educated decision on whether any tooth needs to be extracted. Finally, we polish the teeth to keep the surface of the tooth smooth, so calculus cannot form as easily. A routine CORE for a dog usually takes 40 minutes to 1 hour. With extractions the procedure can take up to 3 hours or more, depending on how many teeth are extracted.
We also celebrate National dental month in February: receive 10% off dental services.

Zero Down Home Financing
If you are attempting to finance your home purchase or refinance with zero down home financing, you should first understand why it is often a very bad idea and how such financing plans helped lead to the economic meltdown of the last few years. I will explain the two primary ways people obtain zero down financing and then explain why these aren't always such a great idea.Suffering High Interest With PMITo avoid making a down payment, lenders provide borrowers the option to pay exceptionally high interest rates along with private mortgage insurance (PMI). Many home buyers do not seem to mind because those payments are all in the future and they want their house now. Modern people are particularly stubborn about parting with their cash; they often prefer to pay off debt slowly even when they have the cash to pay it off all at once.Zero Down Financing is Short Term: Learn to Think Long TermBut once you commit to such a mortgage, you set yourself up for stressful disasters should any sudden employment problems ambush you or should any unexpected expenses intrude on your life. If and when this happens, those far off monthly payments that seemed so much easier than making a single large down payment will start to feel like incessant waves breaking on the shores of your financial peace of mind, slowly wearing it away.Crafty Financing Isn't Always Good FinancingAnd if you really can't afford the private mortgage insurance on top of the high interest loan, aggressive lenders will guide you toward obtaining a second mortgage. You can then piggyback that second mortgage on the first loan to cover the down payment and avoid having to pay PMI (PMI must be paid on any loan where less than 20 percent of the home value is paid up front).Get Real And Be WiseBut the question you have to ask yourself is this: when lenders are bending over backwards to help you get a loan you could not possibly afford without jumping through hoops, is it really a good idea for you to engage in such an investment? You would be surprised how many home buyers suffer from buyers remorse just months after they have committed to a crazy high monthly payment.If you can't simply show your savings, your income, your debt and you credit score and obtain a direct loan from a single, reputable lender, instead of forcing the issue you should consider stepping back and getting your financial ducks in line. Don't dive into the deep end seeking instant gratification.

A couple months ago, I was with some of my English buddies and I used the word "ninja." I did not use it as a noun, I used it as a verb–meaning "to steal," saying something along the lines of "I totally ninja-ed that cupcake." I gasped and covered my mouth.
My gamer girl was out.
I apologized, saying that my gamer lingo came out, and a friend asked, "Who do you know that games?" I looked around a bit sheepishly, pointed to myself and said, "Me?" At that point, it was her turn to gasp, and cry out, "Kelly! Don't tell me that! Gamers are people who don't know how to socialize! You're so much better than that!"
Although, intellectually, I know and understand that there are people who still view gamers as anti-social dorks, I have difficulty understanding how that phenomena (which is what it really is) exists. WoW alone has over 10 million subscriptions. That's not including the millions of people who have bought the game but unsubscribed. That also doesn't include the other various MMOs out, which net a few hundred thousand subscribers each, or the myriad of console games out there. How could anyone actually believe that gamers are so anti-social?
Most people believe that the term "gamer" doesn't mean "one who games or plays games," but rather view it as a tool for identification, with binaries as simple as "male/female," "black/white," or in this case, "gamer/normal." To identify yourself as a gamer typically invokes the image of the hard-core gamer, those who have headsets on while playing CoD4 in a dark room, talking to imaginary avatars on their screen. Yet so many forget that gaming includes things like those iPhone games you may play while waiting at the doctor's office, or joining your friend in a rousing match of Guitar Hero. If you enjoy playing Text Twist on a web browser, you, too, may be a gamer.
In 1993, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) made an addendum to the term "gamer," adding that it means "a participant in a war-game or role-playing game." Given this definition, one can see how the stigma may have formed. In '93, Role-playing included LARPing, D&D, Warhammer, and the like. If you know what those things are, you can probably guess how the whole anti-social tag became associated with gamers. We didn't have the hugely popular casual gaming sect like we do now.
But that doesn't mean that things should stay the same. After all, I'm not a linguistic pundit who vies for the purification of English; I believe language is almost a living thing–changing with the times. As such, the "gamer" tag needs to change. The stereotype of the basement-dweller has changed, and while there is certainly a sub-culture of gaming, it is not isolated. Conventions such as PAX, BlizzCon, E3–even Comic Con–all draw in thousands of people. San Diego Comic Con, while not being exclusive to the gaming culture, even drew in a bevy of celebrities. And given this change, I truly think the term CAN become acceptable.
I didn't mean for this post to be didactic, but sometimes I feel like it needs to be. I'm sure several of you know what my experience feels like–it was as if terming myself a gamer made me into a different person. Now, my friend and I have hung out several times since then and there are no issues between us. But for one evening, I was the anti-social basement dweller to her, as opposed to the successful, extroverted person I am–simply because I acknowledged my gamer-speak had come out. This prejudicial stereotype exists, but hopefully, much like other prejudices, this one will end over time.

Are Montessori children exceptional?
There is a girl I pass most mornings at school. She makes eye contact and says hello, she will often ask about Caspar or tell me something short about her day before running off to class. Can you guess how old she is? Seven! She is seven and has exceptional social skills. Why is this do you think? Because she is an exceptional child or because she is a Montessori child?
It could be a bit of both but it really gets me thinking. Are Montessori children exceptional? My answer is a resounding no. Montessori children are not exceptional. They are regular, everyday children who have the opportunity to live to their potential.
"These are not exceptional children in a Montessori class; they are just socially well-equipped. They know how to do the right thing in most circumstances and reap rich rewards because of it. Their self-esteem grows and adults respond warmly to their polite, caring ways." - Susan Sanders at Metamorphosis Montessori.
Have you ever walked into a Montessori classroom and found the children working diligently, engrossed in their work? It's easy to think these are particularly smart, quiet or well behaved children. Friends have mentioned that Montessori wouldn't suit their loud, robust or even inquisitive child. Thinking that it takes the opposite for Montessori to work. The article Every Child Has Exceptional Potential tackles this exact issue.
"So, be assured, it's not that Montessori only works with exceptional children. Rather, from our point of view, every child is blessed with exceptional potential, your child included." - Peter Davidson at MariaMontessori.com.

Child marriage is a global phenomenon. UNICEF defines "child marriage" as the percentage of women 20-24 years of age who were first married or in a union before they were 18 years old. It is practiced across cultures, religion, ethnicity and race in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, South Asia and Europe. One in three girls are said to be married before they turn 18. The top 20 countries where child marriage is prevalent are: Niger (76%), Central African Republic (68%), Chad (68%), Mali (55%), Bangladesh (52%), Guinea (52%) South Sudan (52%), Burkina Faso (52%), Malawi (50%), Mozambique (48%), India (47%), Somalia (45%), Nigeria (43%), Eritrea (41%), Ethiopia (41%), Madagascar (41%), Nicaragua (41%), Uganda (40%), Sierra Leone (39%) and Cameroon (38%). It is estimated that about 700 million women alive today were given in marriage when they were children (under 18 years of age), of which 17% of these women (about 125 million) live in Africa. Driven by factors including poverty, insecurity and religious traditions, marrying off girls once they reach puberty or even before then is a deeply ingrained social custom in Africa, South of the Sahara. Approximately 39% of girls in sub-Saharan Africa are married before the age of 18. Why is Africa leading the world in child marriage?
There are various reasons for child marriage Africa. The defunct tradition that girls are supposed to get married early and bear children is still alive. Parents may marry off their daughter due to poverty or out of fear for their safety. Some parents feel ashamed if no one comes to give their daughters "hand in marriage." Although there have been efforts to empower girls through education and career development, gender inequality and the low value placed on girls are still prevalent and underlie child marriage. Child marriage is also prevalent in countries that have experienced multiple protracted humanitarian crises, particularly civil war leading to displacement of people, terrorist attacks, such as, the Chibok school girls kidnapping in Northern Nigeria, and drought in the Sahel region of Africa.
What does this mean to our sisters, daughters, nieces and cousins in Africa? It means we are moving one hundred years backwards. It means Africans are not acting in concert with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) aimed at banishing a whole host of social ills that affect humankind. On the list of these social ills are to: eradicate extreme poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality and empower women. Giving young girls to older men in marriage is not empowerment. It is slave trade by other means.
The drumbeat to end child marriage worldwide is louder now than ever before. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) is leading the fight against child marriage with resolutions to galvanize international collaborative action against child marriage. On 19 December 2016, the UNGA adopted a second resolution on child marriage at its 71st Session. The resolution was co-sponsored by Zambia and Canada, supported by more than 100-member states. It is gratifying that an African country (Zambia) co-sponsored this resolution. While Zambia may not be speaking for the whole of Africa, it is hoped that Africans, from the village level to the cities and to those in the diaspora would join the global community to end child marriage.
Girls did not ask to be born. They should be given equal rights as boys in education and above all, that inalienable right to make choices on matters that affect them. Girls should be in school till adulthood and not forced into marriage to well-to-do men. There are enormous benefits for both individual girls and societies at large where girls are allowed to go to school and complete their education. Education and training bring an end to "home-making" career traditionally assigned to women, and empowers girls to venture into non-traditional, non-farming employment. From the World Bank perspective, child marriage hampers global efforts to reduce poverty and population growth and has negative impacts on women's and children's health, educational achievements, and earning capacity. Most of the maternal and child health problems experienced by young mothers would be reduced, with greater benefit to the society.
International laws or resolutions are empty promises unless enforced. It is contended that the fight against child marriage should start at the family and village levels. Family members and the girls themselves should be at the forefront of this fight against the archaic custom of child marriage. Regrettably, African governmental institutions are dominated by "traditionalists," who will do all they can to maintain status quo in the name of custom or religion. The government has a greater role to play in terms of legal and policy changes, strengthening social systems and providing services, working with families, communities and the girls themselves to change the social norms impinged upon girls' human rights.

Star Wars (cont)
Via Dan Drezner, comes news that Star Wars contrarianism isn't extends beyond first trilogy, and that some people actually argue that Revenge of the Sith (?!?) is a better movie than Jedi. This is ludicrous, and Drezner does a fine job of dismantling that idea.
But while we're on talking about Star Wars, I just want to gratuitously share some of the best material I've seen about the series.
If you have lots of time on your hands, want to laugh and also getting some good film criticism and insight, Red Letter Media's amazing video takedowns of the prequel trilogy are a must-watch.
Even more intelligently, the Star Wars Origins site is simply one of the most precious artifacts on the internet. The author breaks down all of the influences of the Star Wars trilogy using the "Hero with a Thousand Faces" template that Lucas famously aped. In doing so, Star Wars Origins goes way beyond fanboyish analysis but provides simply the best deconstruction I've ever seen of mythical/epic storytelling. If you have any interest at all in storytelling broadly understood, you simply must read the site, and I guarantee you that even if you're familiar with "Hero with a Thousand Faces" and many of the influences that shaped Star Wars (Flash Gordon, Kurosawa, Lancelot…) you will still learn many things.

As an example of the sort fanaticism the Obama "Change" campaign is whipping up, consider the video here of an Obama "regiment" videotaped last year in Kansas City, Missouri. (Note: the same state where prosecutors and cops went after people who dared say anything negative about the Anointed One. For more on the Obama campaign's attack on free speech and political debate, see Obama mobilizes rapid response on Web.)
Enthusiastically supporting your banker supported insider for president is one thing, but marching around in cammies in paramilitary fashion chanting like boot camp Marines is another thing altogether.
From the description of this video on YouTube:
I called and spoke to Bernard [at the Colburn School in Kansas City], who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this "regiment" because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda.
He assured me that he didn't know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, "Oh this is not good. I had no idea" I told him I'd take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, "what's the main concern? Because I want to understand where you're coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this."
Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn't we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.
I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?
He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up.
We in America and Around the World should not idolize our politicians.

Idolization is one thing, parading kids around in Nazi Youth fashion in paramilitary gear is quite another. As Webster Tarpley has noted, Obama's mass following has all the elements of a bottom-up fascist movement. Hitler's brownshirts were also fond of pseudo-military titles.
Is it possible this paramilitary display is an isolated incident or can we expect more of the same after Obama is elected? Recall Obama's speech on July 2 in Colorado Springs. "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded," the candidate declared. "If we're going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't this rather a big deal?" asked WorldNetDaily.
Indeed, it is a big deal, especially if this proposed "national security force" will be comprised of brainwashed kids who are told by their militant elders that any disagreement with Obama is a punishable offense, as it apparently was in Missouri.
In Germany and Italy this sort of opposition to the cult of personality leader resulted in the opposition either dead or rounded up and put in concentration camps.
