Passion, heat and love. These words capture the essence of the ruby. This gemstone is one of the four classic precious gems - emerald, sapphire and diamond being the other three - and possibly the most coveted. Sure diamonds are a girl's best friend, but put on a blood-red ruby tennis bracelet and you will sizzle.

Documenting the Surge: US Soldier's Films Expose the Realities of the Iraq Occupation

Army Sergeant Casey J. Porter has many battles to fight, and unlike the dramatizations of politicians and media commentators, his battles are concrete, real, and hard fought. During his time as an enlisted soldier deployed in Iraq, Casey has undergone an evolutionary process, one that has taken him from warrior to peace activist. His talent and passion for filmmaking have given him the perfect medium for his personal expression. Utilizing his current circumstances and natural talent as a filmmaker to speak out against the war, Casey's films have turned the heads of people like Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! and filmmaker Michael Moore.

"We have an entire generation of people in their twenties and thirties who have never gone through a war...the media and government have gotten so good at the creation of messages, people don't know the reality" - Casey J. Porter

Voter Turnout Didn't Set Record

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:37:48 GMT

clipper's remarks: Democrats' passion wasn't matched by GOP

When the official counts are in, Gans said, the final tally may approach 129 million, which would be almost 62 percent of eligible voters, up from 60.6 percent four years ago but below the 1964 turnout rate of 64 percent of eligible voters under Gans's formula.

In counts posted as of late yesterday, Obama led McCain 67 million votes to 58.5 million, with 1.7 million votes cast for minor party candidates and write-ins. That is a popular-vote margin of about 6.7 percentage points.

Other factors, including down-ballot contests for congressional seats, state offices, and statewide ballot questions also might have affected turnout in some states.

While some states trumpeted high turnout figures based on the number of registered voters, neither Gans nor McDonald use voter registration figures as the basis for determining eligible voters because the quality and maintenance of current voter lists varies greatly from state to state.

Turnout in last week's election increased from four years ago but fell far short of some forecasts largely because many Republican voters either stayed home or left blank the presidential section of their ballots.

"I looked at the significant increase in registration and the long lines at the early-voting polling places," said Gans, who has been studying turnout rates for 36 years. "It turned out the intensity was one-sided; it was on the Democrats' side."

McDonald concurred, saying, "It became more evident to voters at the end that Barack Obama was going to win. That probably tamped down the turnout and disproportionately affected the Republicans."

As of yesterday, more than 127.1 million votes had been recorded in unofficial state tallies, many of which did not include some uncounted mail-in or provisional ballots, a Globe review of the websites of state election agencies showed.

LOOKING INTO

the images of award-winning wildlife photographer, Michael Huggan from Four Marks, can illicit an unexpected emotional response, such is his ability to convey his passion and understanding for his subject.

I say looking 'into', because that is what his extraordinary photographs demand.

clipper's remarks: Last quote from him:
"If you think about it, we are all made of mechanisms and neurones and codes and stuff. Human hardware and software. That's more fundamental to dance than characters and stories, isn't it?"

Interesting

Do cyborgs choreograph? Is there dance on Mars? Ask Wayne McGregor: an advanced-level humanoid who explores such questions in dance form.

As a youngster, he liked computers as much as disco,

McGregor's early pieces revealed him to be an utterly distinctive soloist

involved in some ongoing research projects with university scientists to explore body-brain connections

Science and technology are popular McGregor themes, appearing sometimes in the staging (thermal imaging on screens, prosthetic limbs, digital animation) and sometimes in the process (using computer-generated models or ideas from neuroscience and cardiology as source material).

In his own words

It's funny, people tell me that my work is futuristic, but I always say it is about what is happening right now

Is there a danger of science taking over my work? I don't think so. My passion is making things with the body

The Deadly Game Of Gaming

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:04:55 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: in 2005, after a 50-hour Starcraft session. All we can say is we hope he won.

The man, identified only by his family name Lee, sat down to play the online battle simulation game Starcraft at an internet cafe in the southern city of Taegu last Wednesday morning and stayed there for the next three days, stopping only for brief naps or toilet breaks.

South Korean newspapers reported that Lee had recently been fired from his job because he spent too much time playing computer games. When he failed to return home by Friday, however, his mother asked his former colleagues to find him.

When they reached the cafe, Lee told his friends that he would finish the game and go home. He died a few minutes later.

Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea and professional gamers can earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches.

Jeff Dailey and Peter Burkowski

What They Tried to Prove:
That they were the ironmen of the 80s video game scene.

The Method:
Jeff Dailey and Peter Burkowski were teenagers and avid video gamers, aged 19 and 18 respectively. Their game of choice was the popular arcade hit "Berzerk," in which players control a stick-figure character who is trapped in a perilous maze populated by ambiguously-shaped robot enemies.

Jeff and Peter both had a passion for the game that bordered on dangerous obsession. Fatal obsession, you might say. Fatal Attraction you would not say, because it wouldn't make any sense in this context.

What They Actually Proved:

In 1981, Jeff Dailey died of a heart attack after posting a dazzling high score of 16,660. A year later, Peter Burkowski achieved two similar high scores, and also died of a heart attack shortly after.

What is apparently real is video game addiction, a sickness of the mind which also claimed the life of 28-year-old South Korean man Lee Seung Seop

Mind mapping designed for you

The benefits of using mind mapping techniques have been known for years. But for us, it goes way beyond trying to create a solution that allows a user to create digital mind maps. Our passion lies in providing tools that help a student organize their data and notes more efficiently. We understand the importance of working and collaborating in groups and have tried to help facilitate that process.

Mead Map is organized left to right, providing a much faster overview of your structure. It is the first mind mapping application made with keeping the limitations of a computer screen top of mind. By automatically collapsing topics that aren’t being used, Mead Map allows you to work on the details without losing sight of the bigger picture.

Iraq will serve as an early test of Obama's skill in weighing options and measuring risks. The next few months should give an indication whether he can end the Iraq war without risking new violence that could threaten U.S. interests throughout the Middle East. If things don't go well he'll have to decide whether to slow the U.S. departure despite his promise to remove American combat troops within his first 16 months

Rebirth of Principled Opposition...

clipper's remarks: I held my nose and supported McCain because he was the better choice than Obama to me. Heck, Sen. Clinton was a better choice than Obama but she would not have fired up the black vote in droves.

But I'm ready for a new leader...if there is such a thing in America anymore. I'm not looking for charisma, or celebrity, or smooth-talking, or promises of the moon. I'm just looking for someone who will take back the original intent of our Constitution and our freedoms to prosper by our own labor and responsibility. Is there someone with a passion for the American values that have made us the greatest Country on this earth and made us a haven and beacon for others? I'm not really sure. Good people do not want to subject themselves to the ridicule, the slander, the microscopic inspection of what's in your trash can.

But ever the optimist...which I am not...Rush states:

THE REBIRTH OF PRINCIPLED OPPOSITION
...honoring elected officials doesn't mean we cannot challenge them, oppose them, or debate them

"In America today, the sun seems to be shining a little brighter; the birds are chirping happier melodies. The smell of spring has displaced Old Man Winter. In fact, winter will not come this year; its cold, harsh winds won't chill the souls of men

The shackles of the past -- which for so long have bound too many of us -- have been shaken loose. And the process of rebuilding the conservative movement has begun.

•Can we oppose the idea that confiscatory taxation produces prosperity, when in fact it punishes economic growth? Yes, we can!

•Can we oppose the belief that one's earnings must be redistributed for the false promise of fairness? Yes, we can!

•Can we oppose the belief that it is immoral to secure our own borders, or defend ourselves from terrorists intent on destroying us? Yes, we can!

clipper's remarks: The elections were only the first step. A promise of change. Now, we wait...

Obama was elected and that gives great hope, but the problems still remain. Unjust greed-driven wars, torture, economic turmoil etc. There is still a lot of anger out there, so please don't blow it, America. Don't let the world wait in vain for common sense and peace to prevail. Keep the pressure on for change. The world is sick and tired of war. Aren't you?

This Election Was Personal - And Angry

This election was exhausting. The campaigns were passionate in a time when deep fears griped each of us.

Even George Bush supporters believe he was treated unfairly by world events beyond his control - but those events happened to all of us.

All of us, Americans and our fellow earthly citizens, have been deeply impacted by the past eight years. It makes no difference if Bush was the cause or merely the victim. Each of us have lived through some of the most traumatic events in history. Each of us took the outcome of this election personally.

But there it was, the world is not on hold during these elections.

The dread of a dismal economic future was felt around the world and passions flared.

Fear of the outcome was driving the passion

But the passions remain. Deep passion does not dissolve by merely counting the votes.

We continue to see deep anger

We cannot discount the anger.

We felt this ourselves.

This election became personal.
