This is my second video project taken with my Nikon D800, Nikon 35mm f/1.8, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 85mm f/1.8 and a Samyang 14mm f/2.8

The footage was taken within the last year and I took about 35,000 pictures, however many clips didn’t make it in to this video, the final video consists of 15,000 single RAW photos.

All single videos are available in 4K for purchase, most of them have a resolution of 7360 x 4912 pixels.

On the current dictators map, they forgot Yoweri Museveni, who’s been President of Uganda since 1986.

He’s a dictator, no doubt about it. Granted, he’s perhaps not as hardcore as others, or even former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin Dada (certainly one of the more bizarre dictators of the Twentieth Century, to put it lightly) but he’s still a strongman with an iron grip on power.

Some people would insist that Obama is a dictator because he passes laws with a majority of Congress and approval of the Supreme Court that upset the minority party.

Wow, I had some great insights in a dream I had last night about a couple w/kids who were being celebrated on the internet as some kind of celebrity geniuses who were being credited as the “inventors” of some kind of water purification method. I had gone to visit them to see what the ruckus was all about because what I had read just didn’t add up.

I was in the process of exposing them as total frauds who were actually anti-social layabouts, and who neglected their kids in favor of smoking dope all day and didn’t believe half of what they touted. their kids were left to run around naked because the parents simply didn’t want to take the time to wash clothes, for instance, nor to even prepare proper meals, and parents claimed they were “home-schooled”. They said it was “natural” and I said, what about winter? They lived in a fairly rural area of Colorado in sort of a large lean-to attached to a cave (or hollowed out place in the hillside), although it was difficult to find out how long they had been there. Their “fame” was a recent development.

The water purification method, which they claimed worked in both isolated locations (such as their own “farm”—which never saw a plow, BTW) and for city dwellers as well, actually turned out to be some kind of iodine tablets they’d had left over from a camping trip long ago which they had mixed up with crushed vitamin C or something. Like I said, I was still figuring it out, but oddly, no one had bothered to analyze the ingredients, no one had questioned them and now a cult had been built up and people were defending and protecting them.

A lot of their “success” was because of their anti-social, hippie-Jesus-like existence and gentle, mocking FU to The Man (they never showed anger but sometimes the constant grinning seemed idiotic). They were very scrungy looking but had plenty of the con artist charm going for them. Very importantly, they could quote the Bible easily, but you had to ask; they didn’t exactly “push” it on you, but a lot of people asked. It seemed a time in which people had lots of questions, but they were asking them of the wrong people, like these, who they themselves had elevated via the internet.

It was almost as though this couple were pushing acceptance of poverty and living a minimalist lifestyle on people, even as it was questionable as to how they were able to purchase all that land and the large vehicles before their “fame”, and why they didn’t use their birth names. Lots and lots of questions which I was only beginning to get started on.

Saudi religious police warn against New Year’s celebrations

english.ahram.org.eg

“Saudi Arabia’s religious police has warned against celebrating the New Year’s Eve in the ultra-conservative Gulf kingdom, the local Okaz daily said on Sunday.

“The Commission of the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, known unofficially as Mutawaa, based its warning on a religious edict from the top committee of Saudi clerics banning such celebrations, the newspaper said.

“Saudi Arabia follows the Muslim lunar calendar, unlike all other Gulf states that use the Gregorian calendar.”

re: #1 Gus

When you’ve got such a high percentage of people thinking that what in retrospect was a minor event that doesn’t rate against say, the Marine Barracks bombing in 1983, you’ve got a party that is so unhinged from reality that they make Mount Everests out of every ant-hill and are so distorting history and reality that it’s hard to find any common ground at all.

But then again, the GOP response to Benghazi isn’t a disease unto itself; it’s a symptom of a larger move by the GOP to attack every action by the Obama Administration in the hopes of destroying it. It’s the same thing with the GOP government shutdown and the ongoing assault on the ACA.

It’s all intended to hobble the administration and destroy this president’s legacy, even if it means torpedoing the economy, keeping millions of people from getting affordable health insurance, or hobbling US foreign policy.

For the second time in two days, a terror attack has ripped across Volgograd, Russia.

Yesterday’s attack was at the central rail station, where 17 were killed and dozens injured.

Today, a trolley car was blown up and at least 14 people killed.

On Sunday, 17 people were killed in a terror attack by a suspected female suicide bomber at a railway station in Volgograd. And on Friday, a car bomb killed three people in the southern Russian city of Pyatigorsk, 170 miles east of Sochi, where the Olympics will be held.
In October, another female suicide bomber was blamed for a bus explosion in Volgograd that killed five people.

The blasts on Sunday and Monday were probably connected because the TNT and shrapnel-packed bombs were “identical,” said the spokesman for Russia’s main investigative agency.

“That confirms the investigators’ version that both terrorist attacks were linked,” Vladimir Markin told Russian television. “They could have been prepared in one place.”

The remains of the presumed bomber had been collected and were being examined, he added.

Earlier, federal investigators had said that the bus blast came from a bomb that most likely had been planted in the vehicle’s passenger area, according to The Associated Press.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but the leaders of an insurgency that aims to create an Islamic state out of Muslim provinces south of Volgograd have urged militants to use “maximum force” to stop the Olympics from being held.

The death toll from today’s attack is now up to 15.

The article goes on to note that there was another bombing in Volgograd back in October that killed 6 people. That’s 38 people murdered by Islamic radicals in one city in three attacks. Olympics or not, the hammer needs to come down and an intense anti-terrorist sweep needs to be launched in Volgograd.

Reading through some of the wingnut “criticism” of the NYT article pretty solidly shows that they’re dedicated to their interpretation of events. They seem to have backed down from the most popular of the CT assertions (“He let Stevens die!”), but still hang tight to the belief that there’s no other conclusion but the one they reached within hours of the attack, that Al-Q was responsible and the White House “lied” about the video. And, in classic projection, they accuse the NYT of not being flexible in considering alternative interpretations of events while continuing to pound the conclusion they’ve reached as being the only logical one.

Which Putin will no doubt do, to ensure both his authority and the safety of the people attending the Olympics, in about a 50-50 mix. A crackdown will lead to further unrest, guaranteed, but maybe the Russians can keep things down to a slow simmer until after the Games are over.

There’s a bit of a darker side there, for it was with the walls of the monastery Egwin founded at Evesham that Simon de Montfort’s body (minus his head) was buried following his defeat by King Henry III’s son, Prince Edward (later King Edward I, Hammer of the Scots).

I went over to the guys in the warranty department and of course they said I have to do everything through channels, so I called Customer Service and they are coming to retrieve the vehicle and take it to the dealership, and then they will examine the windshield (what’s left of it) and determine if the replacement is covered by warranty, which it probably is.

Anyway I don’t care if it takes a couple of days because tomorrow I’M GOING TO CALIFORNIA!!!

Good morning Lizards. Low 40s and hazy here in Philadelphia this morning.

Eagles defeated the Cowboys and got into the NFL playoffs. How far they proceed is up for further speculation. KC kicker missed a 41 yard FG attempt yesterday at the end of regulation — and that ended up keeping Pittsburgh out after three other necessary results for them getting in occurred via the 1pm games; e.g. Baltimore and Miami losing and Pittsburgh winning. Congratulations to San Diego. (Dear Andy Reid, please remember that 40yd attempts are not shoo-ins. Maybe you should try to get closer next time!)

Looks like another low attendance day at work. Hopefully the batch jobs will behave today and I can actually work on documentation.

34 Dr Lizardo  Mon, Dec 30, 2013 5:39:15am

It’s about 43 here, sunny but hazy.

I couldn’t figure out what the source was of the awful smell in my apartment’s bathroom. I thought at first something was wrong with the pipe for the wastewater, but it wasn’t that. Then I thought maybe a pigeon or a rat had been trapped in the ventilation shaft behind the bathroom wall and died there.

Nope.

Turned out the downstairs neighbor, Mr. D_____________, had died in his apartment several days ago and the stench was from his body decomposing in the heated apartment.

At least that’s the neighbors told me when I saw one of them on the 12th floor earlier today. Mr. D________________ lived alone; he was about 80 or so, and the smell on the 12th floor apparently became even worse then it was up here on the 13th floor in my studio, so someone called the police.

They busted down the door, and sure enough, they found Mr. D____________ .

I wonder how Russia was affected by Snowden’s NSA revelations? He’s probably being “questioned” as we speak.

You know Russia figures into the pattern of worldwide terrorism.

Why would anyone want Snowden in their country, much less give him asylum?

Russian officials are neither as stupid, nor as sympathetic, as the Greensnow people are giving them credit for. They are only interested in information and if that information has been compromised by Snowden’s revelations, he will pay the price.

Yeah. He was a nice fellow, actually. His nearest family lives in Australia, so the apartment’s been sealed off until they get here. They were notified yesterday. The stench on the 12th floor is unreal, and they have the balcony door to the late Mr. D___________’s apartment as well as the hallway windows to air it out.

re: #36 Justanotherhuman

Anyone who thinks that the US doesn’t have an “understanding” with Russia on counter terrorism hasn’t been paying attention for the past 12 years. Islamic terrorism isn’t targeting just US interests. They also target Russian interests too, so there’s a need to share (but just how much is actually shared depends on who’s doing the talking, the issue involved, and just how much cooperation is being given at any point in the US-Russia relationship).

We saw that there was some sharing around the Boston bombing, but there was also questions about whether Russia was sharing everything they knew, and shared it in a timely fashion.

Russia has an interest in stomping out the Islamic terror groups that operate in Southern Russia and the neighboring regions. Attacks ahead of Sochi are going to mean security will be significantly boosted for the Games, but it also means that the terror groups will try to carry out attacks during that time to show that even the heightened security can’t stop them from inflicting mayhem.

Yes, I figured Russia was being a little reticent with the Tsarnaev info because the father was a Russian official, and they were natives the Russian govt was trying to protect, if even only loosely, until guilt could be established. That’s not such a surprising position for them to take in the case of the Tsarnaev brothers.

These bombings, however, are a whole different ballgame.

(Though probably the closest so far was getting up quickly once while running a fever or something - I am pretty sure I temporarily blacked out since I came to lying on the floor of the bedroom and wondering why my shoulder was sore.)

So, why was he not living in Australia? Too attached to Ostrava to leave?

He was born here, and he loved the place too much to leave. He’d seen a lot in his life; the Nazi occupation, the expulsion of the Germans, the arrival of the Red Army, the fall of Communism.

He’d been employed for a long time at a now-defunct mine in an administrative capacity. He was nice enough to give me some old hockey and football club pennants, three of which were autographed by the teams.

He was a nice fellow.

Given the age you described for him (80+) I presumed that he’d seen some “interesting times”.

When I was much younger (23), my first job was in Casper, Wyoming. My neighbor in the apartment across the hall was Mr N, an older man who lived alone like Mr D. One wintry morning, I went outside to find Mr N had scraped my car’s windshield before he had done his. After that, we often exchanged the favor. (Wyoming winters offer many such opportunities.) We visited each other a few times. He was Norwegian-American, first gen American like my Swedish-American mother, so we talked about the Scandinavians immigrating to America. Then, he took ill, and moved out of the apartment. A year later, I left Casper. I really liked the old guy.

It’s victim blaming, something the GOP has gotten good at in recent years. In this case, we’re supposed to believe that the GOP was “compromising” when it said it would “settle” for just delaying the individual mandate for a year in exchange for a continuing resolution that wouldn’t even go that long.

Doubtful that’s a Great White so close to shore, though it’s possible. Perhaps a smaller species, though the Bull Shark and Sand Tiger Shark don’t live off of Cali’s waters.

Well now. This guy was gay yet lived a normal life. Still, he was a sodomite and liked the poo-poo instead of the vagina. An atheist too. Doesn’t help. Never repented. HELL FOR ETERNITY FOR THEE!

Yeah, I managed to get a wingnut’s little brain to pop with that last night. He tried to compare God punishing people for their sins to people being arrested and imprisoned for crimes. I pointed out that we don’t allow death row inmates to be absolved of their crimes if they repent in the midst of their executions, which he declared was proof that God was more forgiving than man. So I finally pointed out that that’s the flaw in the whole “sin is unforgivable” business, the God allows one to live a life of sin but repent on their death bed and be guaranteed a place a in Heaven. So the whole idea that you must live a virtuous life “or else” does not in any way jibe with the idea of a loving and forgiving God.

people can’t deal with their own mortality —at least in Western Culture. We don’t teach that the cycle-of-life includes death. There seems to be no honor in normal everyday death. Only soldiers get to have that.

Presented without comment:

Con Men Prey on Confusion Over Health Care Act

To the list of problems plaguing President Obama’s health care law, add one more — fraud.

With millions of Americans frustrated and bewildered by the trouble-prone federal website for health insurance, con men and unscrupulous marketers are seizing their chance. State and federal authorities report a rising number of consumer complaints, ranging from deceptive sales practices to identity theft, linked to the Affordable Care Act.

Madeleine Mirzayans was fooled when a man posing as a government official knocked on her door. Barbara Miller and Maevis Ethan were pitched by telemarketers who claimed to work for Medicaid. And Buford Price was almost caught by another trap: websites that look official but are actually bait set by fly-by-night insurance operators.

Some level of fraud or abuse is predictable with any big government program, and administration officials expected a few bad actors to emerge. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.; Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services; Edith Ramirez, the chairwoman of the Federal Trade Commission; and other officials met at the White House in September to discuss possible pitfalls.

But now, the technical failures troubling the HealthCare.gov website, as well as the law’s complexity, threaten to make matters worse. Only a tiny fraction of Americans have been affected so far, but state authorities and the F.T.C. are reviewing the issue aggressively.

WHY was it ok to leave out Japanese Americans?

It wasn’t. The racism can’t be excused by using historical context.

It was wrong then and it is wrong now.

Gee, increased home schooling and demanding that creationism be taught in schools alongside or in place of evolution and the net result being the GOP even more skeptical about evolution?

I’d say that’s a natural evolution of their anti-science position. It’s a feedback loop of stupidity.

But! For laughs, Krugman slapped the title “Bitcoin Is Evil” on his post. Though he never actually argued that Bitcoin is evil, that was enough to uncork the wrath of the Bitcoin army, which bombarded Krugman with what he called “rage-filled missives.”

Not satisfied, Krugman further poked the bear by calling the Bitcoinistas “humor-impaired.” He also called their mothers hamsters and declared that their fathers “smelt of elderberries”, proving once and for all that Krugman is actually French (hi, Monty Python).

There’s a lot of craziness involving Fukushima. Some of it might even be true.

Not sure that they’re pulling homeless to work on Fukushima, but there are ongoing reports that TEPCO keeps hiring shady subcontractors who are themselves using subs to do hazardous work without revealing the extent of the dangers and not compensating people appropriately.

The government there has been making a show of cracking down, but it ultimately falls on TEPCO to do the work and hold them accountable.

Report: NSA Intercepted Computer Deliveries To Fit Electronics With Spyware

In what sounds like a story from a spy movie, the report claims that TAO used high-tech gadgetry like computer monitor cables that track what’s going onto the screen and USB sticks with special transmitters that could send data back to the NSA.

In order to get access to personal electronics like computers, the report says the NSA would grab electronics while they were on the way to their destinations and fit them with special espionage software in secret workshops, and then send them on to their intended recipients.

The report also says the NSA even spied on Microsoft, using its crash reports to help spies exploit weaknesses in computers that run Windows. The NSA seemed to have fun with this, the report alleges, replacing Microsoft’s usual error report message with: “This information may be intercepted by a foreign sigint (signals intelligence) system to gather detailed information and better exploit your machine.”

Makes you want to read those error messages a bit closer, eh? Meanwhile, Microsoft says any info customers send with those reports isn’t anything to worry about.

New Jersey asks residents to change names rather than upgrade outdated DMV software

And it’s not just people with hyphenated or two-part names that are limited by New Jersey’s horribly out of date system. The MVC database only allows for up to nine characters for a first name, so someone with my incredibly common first name of Christopher is shortened to “Christoph.” And anyone with a name like D’angelo has that apostrophe stripped right out to form “Dangelo.”

The thing is that a well-written story probably wouldn’t justify a marketing budget built on hype and visuals-driven ads. There’s also the fact that visuals are universal, while good character development often gets KO’d in the foreign box office by language difficulties.

re: #343 Eclectic Cyborg

Well, Tom Cruise pulled off the general concept with “The Last Samurai” and it was profitable. This looked like a crash-up of a famous Japanese samurai folktale, “300” and “Hobbit” style special fantasy effects, and Reeves tossed on top to be the Hollywood “A Lister” to bring in the US box office since most of the rest of the cast are Japanese.

And the film spent an additional year in production to add more 3-D effects and such. Which, to me, also indicates that they knew they had a bomb on their hands and thus hoped to salvage things by piling on more effects and hyping it up in the hope that it could recoup costs with a profitable but short run before the word got out how shallow it was.
