Tactical Buddha?

Hanging out in the ‘stan, taking a breather.

We saw someone snoopin’ and poopin’ on us from a distance from the rooftop of a mud hut complex and decided to check it out. Once I called it, the rear team swung wide from the left, the front team swung wide from the  right, and the middle moved in straight towards the compound. As we got closer a few mopeds with MAMs took off, and as we cordoned off the area and began our sweeps it looked like a dry hole. As we started talking (via the terp) to the dudes in the mud hut, it became apparent that not all of them lived there; even more concerning is that people that claimed they lived there did not know anyone else. We broke out the metal detectors and found a couple of freshly buried under folder AK47 type rifles and some loaded mags.

It was not a completely successful day, but it disrupted enemy movement is a previously (for the most part) uncontested area.

One Hell of a View

It’s been a while since I have posted, so naturally I might as well begin with an update. I have been busy with normal things like work, life, love, and all kinds of other things. I “got a new job,” got married, and had a son to name a few of the significant events since last post. I don’t actually plan on keeping this up to date, except for maybe a few things here and there; let’s start with a picture from a long week at work.

We were on an island that is about 300mx500m, depending on the tide, shooting mortars to mark targets as fixed and rotary wing swooped by to shoot. Some of these got pretty interesting, maybe a little too close for comfort. A Huey shooting at the rapid rate in the pitch black night from about 2km away, a C130 flying by at about 100ft ASL and we’re at 50ft, 100*F and what felt like 200% humidity. I have no idea how those brave souls on Gilligan’s Island made it.

Taking a Breather

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there’s some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost

Saving Private Ryan: Character Types

Mise en scène allows us to characterize an actor into certain categories based on their roles in film. In Saving Private Ryan, there are three characters that can easily be placed into one of these categories, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon and Barry Pepper. Tom Hanks can be placed into the personality category, this is due to his generally calm and calculated persona with a few moments of personal grief that he manages to overcome. One example of this in Saving Private Ryan is when he makes the ethical decision to attack the Germans at the radar station; after the hastily planned yet successful attack was complete, Tom Hanks has his signature moment of grief in solitude then returns back to the rest of the soldiers.

Next is Matt Damon, he is fresh, innocent in appearance yet turn out to have a more bold bias for action than his looks reveal. An example of this is when he insists on staying and fighting with his new found brothers in arms, rather than heading in a safe direction.

Finally is Barry Pepper, who is an Interpreter, “this involves actors interpreting well-known roles” (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014, sec. 5.5). In this film he interprets the role of a sniper, with a good-old-boy personality and large amount of confidence in his shooting abilities.

When it comes to Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, the category of personality remains the same, the story might be different but they each have their own signature way of going about how they insert their personalities into the characters. As said before Tom Hanks has a calm and calculated demeanor, this includes movies such as, Captain Phillips, Cast Away and The Da Vinci Code. In each of these movies, Tom Hanks plays the role of a regular guy whom is put into difficult situations, yet manages to overcome the adversities by displaying patience, intellect an fighting internal conflict with vigilance. For instance in Cast Away, Tom Hanks is stranded on an island and manages to keep track of the day and time using sunlight, tracking the wind patterns and living off the resources of the island he is stranded on.

Saving Private Ryan: The Use of Sound

According to Goodykoontz and Jocobs (2014), there are three basic categories of sounds, dialogue, sounds effects, and music. Dialogue is essentially characters of a film talking, sound effects are real-world sounds used in a movie to draw the audience in, and music can be either actual music playing or a score of musical notes in the background (sec. 8.4).

In the movie Saving Private Ryan, each of these categories are being used to establish a wartime theme. Focusing specifically on Omaha Beach landing scene, there is mostly just dialogue and special effects until right when the initial assault is near completion, at which point music presents itself as we are shown all of the dead bodies. The use of realistic sounds, and using music mostly during transitions, helped to establish a realistic theme and allowed the audience to focus on the overwhelming barrage of sound effects and dialogue that presents itself in during war. Focusing again on the initial beach landing, the use of sound was used to set the mood and leave the audience with a sense of uncertainty. For instance, one moment all you hear is waves breaking on the shore, then it cuts to a landing vehicle full of people, but the only thing you can hear is the roaring engines and water rushing by, but everyone is silent. The silence is broken by people vomiting then the driver announcing they are about to land and Tom Hanks shouting out last second preparations and tips to help everyone make it through; this progression of sounds leads the audience into a sense of nervousness.

These first few minutes of artillery and machinegun fire whizzing by, artillery blowing up, people shouting out orders, and even the metallic ding of someone getting shot in the helmet, this movie might immediately be assumed to fall into the epic film genre.

The effect of using realistic sounds, specifically in regards to special effects and dialogue, varied depending on who the individual viewer was. According to a The Inquirer news article (1998), there were some veterans of the war who had difficult time even viewing the movie and caused “one hell of a tightening in my chest, and I couldn’t breathe and I shed a lot of tears“(McCrary). For others it was merely an immersive film experience.

If one of the elements was removed, such as the sound effects, there would have been little to no reaction to actions of the characters in comparison to with sound effects. Also the dialogue helps to establish character development and the sense of urgency in everything they did.

American Sniper Review Part 2: Lighting

In the movie American Sniper there are a wide array of lighting techniques used in the film, but this is primarily comprised of low-key and natural lighting. The first thing the viewers will notice, is the majority of the film was produced outdoors. This factor, especially in regards to constant fluctuation in weather, greatly impacted the director and cinematographer’s ability to achieve the desired lighting effect. Some of the elements that had be considered when achieving lighting conditions were wind, clouds, rain, the position of the sun and moon, and also the phase of the moon for example. This technique of using natural light as a primary source helped to achieve an authentic feel of not only shooting and moving in the mean streets of Iraq, but also capture emotional scenes such as Chris Kyle’s wedding and first hunting experience.

An example of when the position of the sun was used to the advantage of the scene, is when the Marines and a SEAL are patrolling down the street. The colors of their uniforms would normally help them blend into a neutral colored background; but since the sun was slightly high on their back, it highlighted the shoulders and head of the SEAL creating a halo effect. This captures the audience’s attention just before the significant event of that scene took place. It also aided in allowing the audience to be surprised by the event by shifting the focus in a rapid, yet nonchalant fashion.

There is also one specific character who is introduced to the plot, moving through the shadows of the city to get to his position. In this scene the use of the low-key lighting, combined with stealth movement, aids in character development; this lighting also foreshadows how we might expect to the scene to develop and how we encounter him later in the movie. Here are some behind the scenes clips from Screen Slam (2014), showing the cinematographer capturing this effect at 0:16 into the Youtube video.

As previously stated, American Sniper uses a wide array of lighting due to its portrayal of not only the battlefield in Iraq, but also a bit of the home life from before and after Chris Kyle’s deployments. In a beginning scene where Chris Kyle first meets his wife, three point lighting is used to cautiously illuminate the bar, allowing the director and cinematographer to highlight facial features of the main characters as they interact. Here are some behind the scenes clips from Screen Slam (2014), starting at 3:19 you can see the use of a white screen to reflect the fill light.

In each of these scenes, if a different type of lighting had been used, the desired effect of authenticity could not have been achieved. For example, if a high-key lighting was used while Chris Kyle was on a rooftop, aiming in at his targets, the cinematographer might not have evoked the desired emotions since this type of lighting is normally used for “comedies, happy scenes, institutional and office scenes” (Goodykoontz, 2014, sec. 6.4). The same also applies for scenes such as the wedding, if a low key lighting had been used, it might have evoked some darker emotions or maybe even lead the audience to believe the marriage itself was part of the an internal or external conflict.

Google has made significant improvements for screen reader users when using Documents and the Document List, but these tests show that support for screen reader users is still poor and the needs of people with other types of disabilities have not been met. Considerable work still needs to be done to ensure that people with all types of disabilities can fully use the Google Application suite.

Based on the amount of concentrated effort Google has made to Documents and the Document List and the significant shortcomings that still remain, it is likely that all aspects of the Google Application suite will have similar levels of non-support for many types of disabilities.

We hope this report will allow Google to understand the breadth of the problem when designing accessible Web applications and the issues faced by people with varied disabilities and assistive technologies when trying to access their products.

I just wanted to thank all of the people that have supported me either by visiting blog (, by browsing my SlideShare account (, or by sitting through my demonstrations of Dynamics AX and inspiring a lot of the content. Over the past 6 or so months I have been retooling some of the more popular posts and have been able to turn them into a book which was published this week J

Thanks again for all of the visits to my site, and watch out for volume #2.

The Service Management area within Dynamics AX allows you to track all of your service order contracts and service orders for your customers, will track all of your time and expenses against the service orders, and will also pass along any chargeable items to the receivables department for automatic invoicing to the customer.

Service Management has additional functions as well that allow you to track the items that are being serviced, define the tasks that are allowed to be performed against a service order, and also track the symptoms, diagnosis, and resolution to service order issues, making it a great tracking and analysis tool.

In this walkthrough we will show how you can create service agreements and orders, and then how you can use the additional tracking features within Service Management to get a tighter handle on your service orders.

Dynamics AX allows you to configure your own Vendor Evaluation Criteria and then track the vendor performance against any or all of the criteria that you have defined. When you combine this with the Power BI tools, you get a great way to rate vendors, and also a nice way to present Vendor Scorecards.

In this worked example we will show how to configure the Vendor Evaluations, and also how to create a simple Vendor Scorecard without breaking a sweat. Read More

The Lean Manufacturing capabilities are new with Dynamics AX 2012, and they give you a different way of managing your manufacturing processes as compared to the traditional discrete manufacturing models of BOM’s and Routes.  Don’t be scared away though by its new terminology and constructs that it uses to model the manufacturing processes.  It shares a number of the processes that the traditional manufacturing models use, and is pretty easy to configure if you know the right steps.

Also, you don’t have to be a pure “Lean” organization to use the Lean manufacturing processes that are built into Dynamics AX.  You can pick and choose what you use, and even create hybrid manufacturing models that blend both the traditional and lean processes.

In this worked example I will show you how you can create a simple set of Lean Manufacturing processes and see them in in action.

The topics that are described within this series are:

In this worked example we worked through the setup of a set of simple production and transfer Kanbans.  The interesting thing about these processes, is that you don’t necessarily need to be a Lean Manufacturer in order to take advantage of these capabilities.  For piece work, then this process works really well, and also the transfer Kanbans can easily be used by traditional manufacturers to replenish floor stocking areas.

Once you have worked through these examples, you may want to branch out and try other areas of the Lean Manufacturing that we didn’t address in this presentation.  Features that you may want to try include:

  • Having multiple activities in a Process Flow that are chained together.
  • Using the bar code scanning to further automate the job reporting process
  • Using the planning and scheduling in conjunction with the Lean Manufacturing to create the purchase forecasts etc.

This is a really useful feature within Dynamics AX.  Just because you have always used BOM’s and Routes does not mean that you can’t dabble in Process Flows and Activities.  Give it a try and I’m sure you will like what you find out.

If you want to view the original post which may have additional content then click here.

This week I was challenged to find a way for one of our customers to view how many customers they have by zip code, and compare it to the population within the area so that they can determine if they should accept new customer requests. Their customers are actually sales people, and they did not want to have more than one customer per 10000 people within the local zip code or surrounding area.

In this worked example I will show how I used the new suite of Power BI tools (Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View & Power Map) to allow them to analyze this information in a simple, and also very cool way. Read More

Let’s Paint the Town…Turquoise?

Unpacking the glory that is Starburst.Yesterday, my mom, Patrick and I drove to Portland to take a few items to our new place, and clean and paint.  Some of the choice items?  My Starburst dishes…since these beauties cost an arm and a leg, I wanted to get them safe and sound in their new home before our entourage of family and friends help us move in, guns blazing.

One thing I was really eager about was the fact we got to paint at this place.  While I have often lived in places which allow painting, we just never did it, but there was this one wall that screamed, “PAINT ME TURQUOISE!”, which we did.

The wonder of color...

After some thought earlier this week, we also agreed to paint a wall in the bedroom as well, and we settled on a lime green color, which will go nicely with the turquoise comforter the bed will have.

Talk about color!

After many hours of hard work, which included painting, wiping out cupboards and drawers, loads of Lysol, and vacuuming, I think everything came out pretty darn well!  We even decided to paint another wall turquoise.

*whew!* Now we just gotta move in!

Now, we just have to move in!  Tomorrow my dad and I are headed to Rickreall for their swapmeet and flea market, then it’s study! study! study! Since I have two finals come Monday (one at 8 am, quickly followed by one at 10 am!) and a final Tuesday, along with an essay!  Then it’s several days filled with packing, and then graduation and moving! I can’t wait!

A Dummy’s Guide to Calvinism

The Crucifixion- Matthias Grunewald (1470-1528)

Is there a God? Is He sitting some where twiddling His thumbs or biting His finger nails as the world spirals into debauchery? Ever fancied taking a peek over His shoulder and catching Him taking a cat nap or slumped over in a yoga- pose with legs helplessly inter twined?  Calvinism is associated with Reformed Theology the Theological system associated with the Reformer John Calvin that emphasizes and underlines the vitally important truth that God  is in control of all things, not man; that God is the source of salvation; and that men and women can do nothing to save themselves. It emphasises our total dependence as guilty sinners on the mercy and grace of God for salvation. The Father chose a people, the Son died for them, the Holy Spirit makes Christ’s death effective by bringing the elect to faith and repentance, thereby causing them to willingly obey the gospel. The entire process (election, redemption, regeneration) is the work of God and is by grace alone. Thus God, not man, determines who will be the recipients of the gift of salvation. In popular vernacular, Calvinism often refers to the Five Points of Calvinistic doctrine or Doctrines of Grace regarding salvation, which make up the acrostic TULIP. These are simply five key teachings found in the Bible that were written down as articles by the Synod of Dort in 1610. This was done to counter the five articles published by the followers of a man named Jacobus Arminius that were at variance with the Bible.

If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright. Martin Luther

T- Total Inability or Total Depravity

Because of the fall, man is unable of himself to savingly believe the gospel. The sinner is dead, blind, and deaf to the things of God; his heart is deceitful and desperately corrupt. His will is not free, it is in bondage to his evil nature, therefore, he will not – indeed he cannot – choose good over evil in the spiritual realm. Consequently, it takes much more than the Spirit’s assistance to bring a sinner to Christ – it takes regeneration by which the Spirit makes the sinner alive and gives him a new nature. Faith is not something man contributes to salvation but is itself a part of God’s gift of salvation – it is God’s gift to the sinner, not the sinner’s gift to God. Scripture references: Ephesians 4:18; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 1:30; John 15:25; Luke 19:14; John 5:40; Isaiah 5:20; Titus 1:15; Deuteronomy 32:18; Hebrews 2:1; John 12:39; John 6:44+65; John 3:18.

U- Unconditional Election

God’s choice of certain individuals unto salvation before the foundation of the world rested solely in His own sovereign will. His choice of particular sinners was not based on any foreseen response of obedience on their part, such as faith, repentance, etc. On the contrary, God gives faith and repentance to each individual whom He selected. These acts are the result, not the cause of God’s choice. Election therefore was not determined by or conditioned upon any virtuous quality or act foreseen in man. Those whom God sovereignly elected He brings through the power of the Spirit to a willing acceptance of Christ. Thus God’s choice of the sinner, not the sinner’s choice of Christ, is the ultimate cause of salvation. Scripture references: Psalm 65:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Romans 9:11; Ephesians 1:4,5,9,11; Romans 11:5; Romans 9:15,23; Psalm 103:11; 1 Peter 1:2-3; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Jonah 2:9.

L-  Limited Atonement or Particular Redemption

Christ’s redeeming work was intended to save the elect only and actually secured salvation for them. His death was substitutionary endurance of the penalty of sin in the place of certain specified sinners. In addition to putting away the sins of His people, Christ’s redemption secured everything necessary for their salvation, including faith which unites them to Him. The gift of faith is infallibly applied by the Spirit to all for whom Christ died, therefore guaranteeing their salvation. Scripture references: Acts 20:28; John 3:14+15; Galatians 1:4+5; Revelation 13:8; John 6:38+39; John 17:9,10+24; John 10:11; 1 Peter 2:21; Romans 5:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Romans 8:33+34; Luke 1:68; Revelation 5:9; Isaiah 53:11.

I-  Irresistible Grace  or The Efficacious Call of the Spirit

When the gospel is preached, an invitation is issued by the Lord to all people to come to him for salvation. However, as the first article clearly states, the natural state of all people renders them incapable of responding to this invitation, except to reject it. So when God calls an elect sinner to repentance and faith in Christ Jesus, he does so by sending his Holy Spirit to work a great change in that sinner’s heart, enabling them to see their sin and their need of a saviour and leading them to put their faith in Christ alone for salvation. The Lord, by his Spirit, irresistably draws his elect to himself, raising them to spiritual life and making them willing to trust in Jesus. Scripture references: Matthew 11:28-30; John 6:37; Matthew 23:37; John 5:40; Ephesians 1:12,19; Ezekiel 11:19+20; Psalm 110:3; 2 Thessalonians 1:11.

P- Perseverance of the Saints

Once God has saved elect sinners, he continues to keep and preserve them by his power and grace and will never let them go. Thus, they persevere to the end and can never be lost. This doctrine is not  to be taken as a license to go on sinning, as if the believer is free to act in any way he chooses now that he is eternally secure in Christ Jesus. The true believer will show signs of a growing desire for holiness and an increasing loathing of sin. The one who attempts to use the grace of God as an excuse for sinful living is in all probability not a true believer, for where there is spiritual life, the fruit of the Spirit will become evident. Scripture references: 1 Peter 1:5; James 4:6; Philippians 1:6+19; John 6:39; John 10:28+29; Romans 8:38+39; Romans 8:8; Galatians 5:13-26

In Conclusion Think this through:

1. Classic Arminianism• One must persevere in faith to be saved. • True believers can lose their faith…. • Those dying without faith in Christ are condemned. “The believer who loses his faith is damned.”

2. Antinomianism• One need not persevere in faith to be saved. • True believers can lose their faith. • Those who lose their faith are saved, since they once believed. “The believer who loses his faith is saved.”

3. Classic Calvinism• One must persevere in faith to be saved. • True believers cannot lose their faith, since it’s God’s gift. • Those dying without faith in Christ are condemned. • Those who “lose” their faith never had it to begin with. • God will preserve true believers and they will be saved.

“The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox’s gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.”—C. H. Spurgeon

    So refreshing to come across a website that is not Arminian (giving glory to man for his salvation or making man his own saviour) but is Calvinistic (giving glory to God for the salvation which he freely bestows on the objects of his eternal love).

  4. Paul May 31, 2010 at 02:03

    Good Article.. But just wanted to let you know that its “Jacob Arminius” and not “James Arminius” from whom the term Arminianism sprang

    • Acidri May 31, 2010 at 08:26

      Thank you Paul. I will effect the correction as soon as possible.

    The five points outlined by the word TULIP are essential to the true gospel. Brother Harold Camping taught this outline on Family Radio for years. He didn’t give credit to Calvin…he simply taught that the Bible presented these great truths. To God be the glory!

AccuStream Report Forecasts Audience, Revenue Growth For Online Listening

Total listening hours to Internet radio are forecast to expand 22% in 2011 building on a more sound economic foundation in 2010, according to a report by AccuStream Research.

In a brand new update to their annual study, AccuStream finds that advertising supported listening (excluding Shoutcast and paid subscriptions) reveals a 5% drop in monetizable inventory in 2009 as large, pure-play services Yahoo Radio and AOL Radio were folded into CBS Radio, while independent operators grappled with royalty rate structures assessed against audience size.

However, ad supported listening hours are forecast to improve 20% in 2010 as inventory sellout rates continue to rise, royalty rates slightly more favorable to smaller operators are reset and mobile platforms achieve greater scale. AccuStream’s forecast for 2010 revenues predicts sellout will reach 55% and generate $135 million in 2010 (audio and video media buys alone), a 41.6% growth spike. The market grew by 13.9% in 2009.

The report pinpoints several factors responsible for the accelerated revenue projection, including greater emphasis being made by terrestrial broadcasters with online extensions to implement a highly localized sales strategy, supported by several companies offering better national sales execution and bundled online solutions to radio broadcasters. The emerging mobile platform is a contributing factor in the growth as well. Mobile music media spend is forecast at $6.7 million in 2010.

Look for more on this report next week as I spend more time with it..

Audio Artist Spotlight: Viceroy and Stacey Pullen

Two extremely talented, versatile, and drastically contrasting artists take over Audio this weekend (that’s the fun in it, right?). Viceory makes his return to Audio this Friday, with Detroit techno mainstay Stacey Pullen in the booth on Saturday.

With two unique styles hitting our Funktion One system this weekend, here’s a taste of each.

Friday, March 23: Viceroy

If you’ve lived in San Francisco for awhile, it’s highly likely that you’ve heard of Viceroy. A Bay Area local and connoisseur of what has been called “summertime disco”, this artist lives by the mantra “jams not bangers” and seems to carry around a pocket of sunshine to every deck he touches. Summer is his musical vibe, regardless of what season it may actually be.

He’ll be bringing his specially curated Lost In The Sauce show to Audio on Friday, which has served as an opportunity for Viceroy to break out of his normal sounds and instead dive into the realm of perfect-for-the-dancefloor disco, soul house and more.

You can find tickets and details here.

Saturday, March 24: Stacey Pullen

Describing the mastermind that is Stacey Pullen is no easy feat – as a DJ, producer, record label owner and pioneer of the legendary Detroit techno scene, he has shared his signature style with venues across the globe and back.

Pullen’s atmospheric techno sound was immensely influenced by none other than Detroit’s own Belleville Three – Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. He started his dive into the musical realm at an extremely young age, playing the flute in his school band. He dabbled in percussion as he played the drums and found inspiration in an array of unique genres including hip-hop, Indian and Jazz. His sound is eclectic and mesmerizing, pushing a story of melodies underlined with a pulsating bassline beat.

Grab a ticket to Saturday’s show and find more info here.

Mark Obenshain: Four Pinocchios for the Washington Post on voter ID

obenshain2We live in the age of the fact checkers. There’s PolitiFact,, and of course the Washington Post’s “Fact Checker.” But when the media itself gets it wrong, who will fact check the fact checkers?

Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that over 450,000 voters lacked proper identification to cast ballots in Virginia. That’s a shocking number—so let’s take a look at it, Fact Checker style.

About 450,000 voters in Virginia may lack the proper identification needed to cast a ballot in the November midterm elections, the Virginia State Board of Elections said Thursday.

— The Washington Post, September 25, 2014

The Facts

Right off the bat, the Washington Post has a problem: the Department of Elections never said that. Instead, the documentation they provided to the Post showed a much lower number: under 200,000.

Eventually, after the Department itself called them on the numbers, the Post issued a correction. But that’s only scratching the surface of this bad reporting, because the number they trumpeted has very little to do with who does or doesn’t have ID.

The Department of Elections provided a “filtered” count to the Washington Post, which that august newspaper evidently concluded wasn’t newsworthy enough to include in an article that gave space to three critics of Photo ID. The Department’s filtered count isn’t perfect, but it’s a best high-bound estimate of individuals whomight actually vote and don’t already have a known alternative ID.

The filtered count excludes military, overseas, and federal-only voters—we already know that they have photo IDs, whether or not they have a Virginia driver’s license—and then limits the total pool to voters whose last activity (e.g., voter registration, voting) took place during or after the last presidential election. With the filter applied, we’re looking at 93,117 voters, compared to the 457,931 originally reported by the Washington Post.

And even that doesn’t tell the full story. Midterm election turnout is a lot lower than presidential turnout (compare 71.8% turnout in 2012 vs. 44.0% turnout in 2010), which cuts into the number even further.

We’re still not done, though, because there are of course plenty of non-dmv IDs that can be used to vote, from U.S. passports to student or employee IDs to other government-issued photo IDs to, of course, the new (and free) Virginia Voter Photo Identification Cards.

Remember, moreover, that any disabled or homebound individual is automatically entitled to vote absentee by mail—and that doesn’t require a photo ID. The voter in a nursing home who hasn’t had a driver’s license in years? Doesn’t need one; doesn’t need any photo ID to vote.

And if a voter really doesn’t have any form of Photo ID? They’re still covered. They can go to their registrar’s office and get a free one. They can even, on Election Day, go to any registrar’s office and get a free temporary ID to use at the polls that day, or to ensure that their provisional ballot gets counted.

Critics of Photo ID have long claimed that hundreds of thousands of voters would be affected. During the debate on passage of SB 1256, the liberal Commonwealth Institute issued a breathless reported estimating that Virginia might have to issue as many as 869,703 free IDs at a cost of $20.2 million.

Fast-forward to this week. So far, registrars have issued a total of 1,083 of them at an estimated cost of—wait for it—$3,250 (not counting initial equipment expenditures).

When legislators debated SB 1256, the State Board of Elections estimated the issuance of 4,299 free IDs a year for the first few years. We’ll have an accurate count soon enough, but right now, that figure looks to be on the mark. The number the Post used is over 100 times higher.

The 450,000 voters figure trumpeted by the Washington Post is just the latest in a long line of overwrought numbers that obscure the fact that Virginia’s voter ID law won’t deny any legitimate voter the right to vote.

The Pinocchio Test

If the Washington Post can make such a staggering journalistic error, they can certainly forgive my appropriation of their “Pinocchio Test” to their own claim.

Not only was the Post off by 130% in its initial headline, but it cited a nearly irrelevant figure—nearly 500% off the more pertinent figure provided by the Department of Elections, which is itself a high-bound figure which was never intended to indicate that these individuals lacked photo ID.

Once you got past the Post’s headline, the article qualified its claim, noting that alternative IDs can be used and referencing the provisional ballot process, but the paper repeatedly conflated driver’s licenses with DMV-issued IDs (many voters have non-driver’s license photo IDs) and gave ample ink to critics of the law crafting highly unrealistic horror stories. That’s not journalism; it’s PR for Democratic critics of the bill.

Mark Obenshain is a Harrisonburg state senator.

Making its entry in the compact SUV segment, Honda India's BR-V SUV has gotten off on a good starting having garnered over 10,000 bookings since its launch last month. The company conveyed that consumers have given preferred both petrol and diesel engine options on the SUV to an equal measure, while the 3-year unlimited kilometre warrant has also been a strong driving force.

Speaking on the positive response attracted by the BR-V, Yoichiro Ueno, President and CEO, Honda Cars India said, "The recently launched Honda BR-V has received a good consumer response with over 10,000 bookings since launch. BR-V has amassed strong interest from both young and middle aged customers. We are confident that it will attract more customers with its strong desirable values."

Adding further, he said, "As per current demand, BR-V has witnessed equal consumer preference in petrol and diesel variants. The new warranty policy of 3 year unlimited km warranty for BR-V has been very positively accepted and is one of the driving forces for good acceptance of BR-V in the market."

Honda BR-V Bookings

It needs to be seen if sales of the Honda BR-V will match up to that of the Hyundai Creta

The Honda BR-V is credited for being the only seven-seater compact SUV in the segment and was with a price tag of ₹ 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). We drove the BR-V earlier this year, which is powered by 1.5-litre petrol and diesel engine options, and is the third product from the Japanese car maker to be based on the Brio platform. The SUV also gets some interesting bits like the segment first paddle shifters on the petrol CVT variant, while both the engines come paired to a 6-speed manual transmission.

Even with the resemblance with the Mobilio MPV, the Honda BR-V gets a comprehensively redesigned front and rear, while the cabin takes inspiration from the City sedan, benefitting from a premium appeal. In terms of features, the BR-V gets the essentials including start-stop button, automatic climate control, height adjustable driver's seat, roof mounted AC vents and a lot more. Safety tech includes dual front airbags available as standard across all variants, while the diesel trims also get ABS and EBD as a standard feature.

The compact SUV segment has been one of the fastest growing in the country, having kick started with the Renault Duster and was taken to a whole new level with the in-demand Hyundai Creta. Industry trend reveals that the compact SUV segment grew by over 40 per cent. With a positive initial start, it will now be interesting to see how the BR-V sustains its momentum in the market over the coming months.
