in Galicia,.
   The harvest of oats is now, with scarcely an exception, completed, and
presents a
 good return.
   Maize has made great progress during the present period. Having generally
 favored by the weather it has attained a stately height and has everywhere
 ears. Its condition justifies, in the west provinces of the empire, the
hope of a good
 crop, and in Hungary it has also materially improved.
   Potatoes and beets, in the western half of the empire, are for the most
part in ex-
 cellent condition. In the eastern they suffer partially through drought;
still, most.
 gratifying intelligence has been received from that quarter. Potato-rot
is observed,
 not only in Silesia and West Galicia, but also in some localities of Moravia,
 Austria, and Gorizia.
   Hops have just been plucked in Bohemia, but not yet in Galicia. By Postelberg
 and abundant and perfect umbels are found, while in Wittingau the harvest
is esti-
 mated at only one-half. Good crops are promised in Galicia, Upper and Lower
 Wine has lately made satisfactory progress. In consequence of repeated rains
 rious evils have occurred. Especially the grape fungus (oidium) has affected
the vines,
 and has not only extended into Southern Tyro!, Istria, and Dalmatia, but
also into
 Vorarlberg, Gorizia, and Croatia. Moreover, the "1Brenner," which
has prevailed for
 some past months in Southern Tyrol has planted itself in Gorizia. Further,
in Dalma-
 tia the "tortrix," and in Istria, the "1black rot,"
has appeared; finally, the decay of
 single grapes occasionally shows itself.
   In the last-named provinces the anticipated hopes of an abundant vintage
may be
 somewhat diminished. In Lower Austria and Styria, however, the prospects
of a good
 middling vintage are maintained, and in Hungary-the grapes, where not overabun-
 dant, show a very good development.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Trilogy

I have to admit, when I first heard The Hobbit was being stretched into two movies, then even more so following the eventual decision to make it a full Trilogy, I wondered how they could possibly follow up the sheer scale and epicness of The Lord of the Rings films using only a couple hundred page children’s book as the source.

The answer comes pretty quickly in the main narrative of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey from a quote by Gandalf discussing Bullroarer Took’s knocking the head of goblin leader Golfimbul off and down a rabbit hole, simultaneously winning the Battle of Greenfields and inventing golf.

“Every good story deserves a little embellishment.”

The embellishment is in full force well before the story starts, as the movie begins with both a flash-back and a flash-forward.

The reason for the popping about in time is very clear:

This is not a film adaptation of the stand-alone children’s book The Hobbit, which ended up being the first published story taking place in Tolkien’s Middle Earth, as it was written.

This is a return to the already established in full detail, history and grandeur of Jackson’s cinematic Middle Earth, using the story from The Hobbit as a framework.

The opening dual timed prologue provides two important elements:

The Flash Forward presents Bilbo and Frodo to reintroduce to this version of Middle Earth, by using familiar characters and establishing when the story takes place with respect to the films that have come before.  It also serves as a reminder that before the events of those films, the Hobbits’ lives were more light and fun than subsequently shown.

The Flash Back presents how the history of the dwarves ties in with the history of this version of Middle Earth. More importantly, it also shows, while the novel is a much smaller scale when compared to the later volumes, these movies will be just as impressive and Massive (pun intended) as their predecessors.

The story however, is set in a different time of Middle Earth, and with a main character in a different point in his life.  This allows the film, while still being consistent with the world established in the previous trilogy, to remain more fun and fanciful.

Lord of the Rings is a war story set at the very end of the Third Age of Middle Earth. It leads into the Age of Men and is the end of magic in Arda.  The monsters are defeated, the dwarves remain underground, the Hobbits fade and blend in, and the mundane human world takes over.

The Hobbit takes place earlier in the age, when magic has only just started to fade.  There’s still a dragon left, there are more wizards about (and they are more active), the varied and fantastic races are in full swing, and the main force of evil is still in hiding.  In short, it’s a more fun and fanciful period.

The biggest difference may come from the Hobbits that each story focuses on.  The journeys of the Hobbits in Lord of the Rings were designed to reflect the effect going off to World War I had on British boys.  Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin all began as innocent youths at the start of Fellowship, and grew up to be inexorably changed by the hardships they endured:

Merry and Pippin, the most carefree and whimsical of the characters, matured to become men and soldiers of Rohan and Gondor respectively.

Frodo was so traumatized by his journey and burden he could not return to any kind of normal life and sailed into the West with the other magical individuals as the Third Age ends.

Sam returned, bursting with the courage and strength he found within himself, to become a husband, father and leader of the community.  As such, he’s the only one to truly build a place for himself to be comfortable back home in the Shire…because he was that awesome.

Bilbo starts his adventure as a middle aged, comfort seeking, stay at home.  His journey is more about rediscovering youthful enthusiasm, and internal strength and worth than a coming of age story. As such, it lends itself easily to lighter and more fun situations.   It probably helped that Martin Freeman has established himself twice (Hitchhikers, Sherlock) playing a British everyman who is far more capable and adventure loving than he first appears.

Lighter and more fun doesn’t take anything away from the experience, however.

Mainly because Peter Jackson and company know what they’re doing when it comes to Middle Earth.

The scenery, whether digitally augmented, constructed in miniature, or plucked from the amazingness of New Zealand; remains breathtaking.  Unfortunately, 3D makes my family nauseous sometimes, and definitely would have in this case. A shame really, as I suspect the 3D tracking shots in and around that scenery are amazing.  Still, I'd rather be able to share the movie with my family than see it in 3D, usually alone at midnight.  Family togetherness and sleep are two things one can never get enough of.

Howard Shore’s score remains epic, augmented, once again, by Tolkien’s own song lyrics. Setting these poems to music and weaving them into the narrative added power to key moments, in and around both new and familiar leitmotifs.

The effects, character design (which is often also effects), acting and combat choreography all remain up to the standards previously established.

Speaking of effects and acting, I need to specifically point out Gollum’s “first appearance”.
It amazed me even more this time around that he’s basically an advanced cartoon character, as his performance was mesmerizing.  In Lord of the Rings the dichotomy between Gollum and Sméagol is very clearly presented as an internal battle between the evil and good(ish…mostly) sides of his personality.  In this depiction of Bilbo’s encounter with the long time slave of the ring, it is very clear that the split emerges from hundreds of years of despair and loneliness.  The large amount of emotion and sympathy generated by what comes down to a creepy and decrepit looking digital puppet is mind blowing.

Not only does this crew know how to create Tolkien’s world based on his writing, they also have established, yet again, that they are quite adept at knowing when to make alterations to enhance the tale when importing it to the new medium.

Many of the events in the original novel center around Bilbo and the Dwarves being fairly easily captured, rescued by someone or something, and then making a run for it.  To create more self-reliant protagonists, the lead characters have been given heroic upgrades:

Being bagged by the Trolls in their sleep was replaced by a battle the Dwarves were clearly winning before Bilbo’s life was threatened.

Similarly, the book has our heroes running like hell to escape, after Gandalf pops in to whack the Goblin King.  The impressive melee against the entire goblin city as the dwarves hack their way to freedom is much more cinematically satisfying.

Bilbo becomes a valued member of the band, both mentally and physically much quicker in the film as well, adding to his likeability.

Other changes made to the story line come from creating it in full knowledge that it is a prequel to the three epic films that were made before.

Much like the opening prologue (and other flash backs to that battle) built huge action packed scenes out of only a couple of lines in the book, returning actors allowed for something similar.  Gandalf’s trip to confer with the white council in the novel served to keep him out of the action for a bit, and allow the dwarves to get in more trouble.  Bringing back Cate Blanchett and Christopher Lee to interact with Ian McKellan and Hugo Weaving and play out a meeting between Galadriel, Saruman, Gandalf, and Elrond provided an outstandingly compelling scene with actors at the top of their games showing the building of the characterizations seen in the Lord of the Rings.  Note the introduction of Galadriel into this scene provides a desperately needed female character to make my daughter happy.  Note too, that the woman is the only one with a firm grasp of everything that is going on…much like real life.

I expect we’ll be seeing more of the type of foreshadowing from that scene, which doesn’t exist in the original book, simply because the novel was completed years before Lord of the Rings was released.  (And hopefully more crazy awesome stuff based on quick literary mentions…Stone Giants, HOLY CRAP!)  The expanded role of the Necromancer and Witch King (again, amped up from mere mentions in the book) may well be used to define the coming of the Nazgul and rise of Sauron to his giant freaky eyeball form.  It’s not impossible that Sauron’s continued hold over a certain dwarfish ring may be used to explain Thorin’s eventual descent into destructive selfishness.

Legolas will definitely be seen in the realm of his father: Thranduil king of the wood elves.
(Who looked most majestically awesome riding his megaloceros if I do say so myself.)

Hopefully we’ll get some more returns and cameos. Aragorn, a Númenórean, was 87 in Lord of the Rings, and a young Strider “skulk by” wouldn’t be out of the question.  Arwen, another immortal Elf, could show up at any time since her father and grandmother were already in the "White Council" scene.  Gimli, while only in his sixties is too young (fora dwarf), to accompany his father on Thorin's quest.  He certainly could easily decide to meet up Gloin and his other relations after the Misty Mountain is retaken.  Even those not born yet could always be in more flash forwards to the Red Book of Westmarch.  Hopefully we’ll get to see the Right Honorable Mayor Samwise.

It’ll be interesting to see where they put the break between next two films as well.

Will part two be all of Mirkwood, ending with the conflict against Smaug, leaving part three for the Necromancer’s rise and the Battle of Five Armies?

Will Azog (dead before the Novel even begins) remain the big bad Orc all the way through the ending, continuing to tie together what are disparate encounters in the novel, and take his son Bolg’s place in the Battle of Five Armies?

Could I be more excited about the Battle of Five Armies?

Yes, because I’m also asking…

Will it end there, or will we see Balin’s triumphant retaking of Moria?

I don’t know, but I do know the movie features the poster child for proving that expanding minor roles and being more fun and fanciful doesn’t mean a drop in quality or power.

Radagast the Brown.
Sylvester McCoy’s portrayal of Radagast is, by any definition, completely goofy, loopy and unhinged.

However, he also:
Defeats a ghostly witch king single handedly and steals his sword.
Raises an ally from the dead (OK, it was a hedgehog, but still, RAISING THE DEAD!)
Turns away a horde of giant evil spiders.
Outraces and confuses a battalion of highly trained and lethal Orcs and wargs on a sledge pulled by BUNNIES.

Fun and fanciful maybe, but the dude FREAKIN’ ROCKS!

McCoy’s competence hidden behind silliness was very similar to his interpretation of a certain Time Lord, which brings up an important point:

His inclusion means we have a scene of Magneto, Agent Smith, Colonel-Doctor Irina Spalko and Dracula discussing the importance of the quest of Arthur Dent/John Watson against Sherlock Holmes/John Harrison; based on evidence provided by the Seventh Doctor.

This is greatest Tolkien centered Geek Conjunction since Mr. Spock sang “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” amongst the Radagast like hippies of 1967.

Lightness aside, there are still classically heroic characters.  Thorin Oakenshield's inner strength and leadership more closely resemble Aragorn than Gimli, and the loyalty and comradeship earned through battle between he and the dwarves is palpable.  Gandalf also has several impressive moments demonstrating he is the same wizard who immortalized the line, “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”  Likely Bard the Bowman and, of course, fellow archer Legolas will be of similar heroic bent.  Beorn could go either way, but I expect McCoy’s Scottish countryman Billy Connolly will be closer to “Magnificently Insane Bastard” as Dain Ironfoot, than a classic hero.

This movie packed in an incredible amount of both word for word material from the book and additional material pulled from offhand mentions and throw away lines.

I was convinced by its sheer density, that there was no way we could be getting an expanded edition release for home viewing.

The announcement stating, in the fourth quarter of next year, a version will be released on blu-ray with an additional fifteen to twenty minutes of character moments, epic battles and gorgeous set pieces had me quoting Thorin’s manly tear inducing line:

" I've never been so wrong in all my life."
"(Peter Jackson) Forgive me for doubting you."

What's a Hobbitt?
Does it have to do with that weird animated special they used to show where the dude got his finger off because of too much bling?

Jeff McGinley said...

Hey, Don't pick on those Rankin Bass animated specials. That was all the Tolkien adaptations available for years.

Unknown said...

I saw the it in 3d, you weren't missing anything. nice writeup. We both re-read the hobbit before watching this and it was almost useless, you're right it wasn't an adaptation. It was thoroughly entertaining though. can't wait for the next one.

Jeff McGinley said...

Thanx for compliments and comments. Pity about the 3d. I re-read it as well. I wouldn't go as far as almost useless. It did point out at how good they are at adapting what started as a small story into what has grown into a much larger Middle Earth. Much of it was taken word for word, when cinematically appropriate. The two dwarves songs fit the lightness of the start, but foreshadowed things to come, while the singing goblins were wisely left out.

Was Martin Luther King, Jr. a Good Man?

Each Wednesday I publish one of my old columns that I hope will be informative, instructive, insightful, and sometimes inspirational. Following is a column from 2008.  My new, brief eBook, Martin Luther King, Jr.: Judged by His Character, Not His Color! is now available at Amazon.com for $3.99.

Martin Luther King’s statement that a person should be judged by his character not the color of his skin is a majestic thought. I will do that as I look at King, and I wonder if radical leftists, King worshipers, white liberals, black non-thinkers, media moguls and others will do the same?
Some “conservatives” need to do likewise!

Some will object to my research, questioning my motives but do my motives really matter? Isn’t it the truth that is important? Don’t people of character care about truth anymore?

Richard John Neuhaus said of King: “Dr. King was, for all that was great about him, an adulterer, sexual libertine, lecher, and wanton womanizer.” Neuhaus is a well-known liberal theologian and writer. My research also indicates that King was a drunk, plagiarist, bisexual, and Marxist. Try to remember that we are not concerned with his race or complexion, but his character.

If I were looking at David Duke and did not deal with his past involvement with the Nazi movement, I would be accused of bias or poor research. In the interest of truth am I not required to do the same with King? If not, then why is he exempt from a careful, honest look at his past to make a decision about him in the present? If I am wrong, please correct me.

No person deserves to be called a journalist if he refuses to look at both sides of an issue or if he/she refuses to give proper weight to all arguments because of prejudice. If a writer is fearful of where the truth will lead him, he should be selling insurance.

During the eight years I wrote columns for USA Today, I asked the editor if I could do a column on King’s plagiarism, however, I never got permission. I had read the story of King’s literary thievery in the London papers during a stopover from one of my trips from the Middle East. The editor of USA Today either did not believe me or more probably did not want to take the heat for breaking the story. The Wall Street Journal broke the story a couple of months later although they did so gingerly.

It is noteworthy that the American media was then forced to deal with King’s plagiarism, but even then they defended him! One main defense was that it was a “black thing,” which was an insult to honest, decent Blacks. When you quote King you don’t know whom you are quoting!

Why is there little debate in the King controversy? During the eight years I wrote columns for USA Today, the editor would not permit me to do a column on King although every year in early January, they always did a page dealing with him. I have one issue that has five columns dealing with King without one critical word on the whole page about him! That is a disgrace to all honest journalists everywhere.

Evidence proves that King had numerous affairs with various women plus numerous one night stands with prostitutes; two black columnists reveal that FBI tapes support the charge that King was bisexual having been heard during a sex orgy with his “best friend” Ralph Abernathy. King was also caught running naked after a woman down a Norway hotel hallway during his trip to accept the Nobel Peace Prize! The night before he was killed he spent the night with two women and fought with a third, according to his “best friend” Ralph Abernathy. If a man will not keep his marriage vows, he is not worthy to walk my dog.

According to the Bible, King was not even a believer in Christ! He rejected Christ’s deity, His virgin birth and his physical resurrection so according to II John he should not be honored; in fact, no one should “bid him God speed.” Furthermore, I challenge anyone to produce one example of King, a Baptist preacher, ever seeking to get lost men to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Never happened because he did not believe that was essential.

King, like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Rudy Giuliani and assorted Republicans was a man without character, and informed, honest, decent Americans should not be honoring him with a special day each year.

While I was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives, a member introduced a bill to memorialize King before we had his national holiday forced upon us. The memorialization meant nothing since we did them almost every day as routine.

When the King vote came up (it was a voice vote since it was no big deal) mine was the only negative vote out of a hundred. No one in the senate voted no. I wondered where all the conservatives were. Soon they surrounded me saying that they should have voted with me but didn’t think it was worth the flack. I was told that had I demanded a recorded roll call vote and spoken against the memorialization, there would have been repercussions with my legislation!

The following year the same thing happened in exactly the same way! I started to speak to the issue and demand a recorded vote but did not do so. Why? I don’t know. Some might say it was peer pressure. My conservative friends told me, “Don, it won’t do any good and could hinder your chances of getting your bills even assigned to committee.” It was the only time I did not follow my principles while in office.

King does not deserve a national holiday but instead he should be exposed as a fraud, a fake, and a fool, and I would feel the same about a white conservative!

As for celebrating King’s birthday, I will not do so but I will take the day off since it is my birthday!

Muslim Invasion

The Fuse is Burning!

by Don Boys, Ph.D.

Muslim Invasion

Muslin Invasion: The Fuse is Burning! is an interesting, informative, and for the politically correct and infuriating read. Islam, Muslims, immigration, Jihad, Sharia, and the war against our civilization, culture, and creed is a present reality. Gutless public officials are selling us short either by complicity with the enemy or due to a doctrinaire commitment to idiotic tolerance ideology. Whatever the case, citizens must stand up against the invasion now before it is to late. The author suggests that the fuse is burning and the results will end in a complete upheaval of America and every free nation, unless we act now. Forget the lame stream media. Forget Obama. Common sense mandates, our very survival demands that we act NOW to keep America from going off the cliff; This book promises to be a life changing read.

Furr Gatling Guns

I’ve always been interested in Gatling guns. I remember reading about them in a book on the history of Colt Firearms as a kid. When I first learned about the scale Furr Gatling Guns I started looking for one. FJ Vollmer had an offer price listed for them, and that put me out of the market at the time. Articles would appear in Machine Gun News or Small Arms Review about them. I was loaned a 1/3 scale 1874 Carriage Gun at one point. I’ve since acquired both a 1/3 scale 1876 Camel Gun and a 1/3 scale 1874 Carriage Gun. I’ve bookmarked every one that I’ve seen for sale, and hope to get those links both posted and archived here shortly.

In cleaning my desk, I just stumbled upon the manual for my 1874. So I scanned it for posterity. INSTRUCTIONS FOR 1874 MODEL

So I’ve had IPv6 connectivity since September 2007 from my house, initially thanks to SixXS. I last reached out to one of my Service Providers just weeks before SixXS ended service. They continue to not support IPv6, nor have a schedule for supporting IPv6. My other provider has started supporting IPv6 for their home users, but on the business side it would appear to be a bit more difficult to gain connectivity with IPv6. Which reminds me I need to call them again, since their online support tools don’t support business customers. Hopefully you can see that I continue to have IPv6 connectivity. This connectivity is published from AS16881 via the LISP-Beta Network.

Serbu Super Shorty

It has been almost 20 years, or at least, according to this article by Jeff Zimba. The Serbu Super Shorty

As a close friend of Mark Serbu I asked him at a Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot to make me the shortest possible AOW, Any Other Weapon in BATF Jargon. The oldest emails I have about this are from August 1997, so it must have been the April shoot that year. The original prototype was built on a Maverick 88, had the spring loaded folding grip, but the action bars would bind, per Mark it required a little English. Mark promised to get me another with improvements, number 300 was a Mossberg 500 that functioned flawlessly. I mention the number 300, because he promised number 100 would be mine if he ever reached that many. As well I have a Remington 870 based one, and a Holster.

Now we have a myriad of copies out there. Mossberg has even started to sell the Compact Cruiser AOW. Then we have the Typhoon 12 with a 5-round box magazine.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

The other day when I saw a photo of me playing with our dog Wilbur, I was momentarily surprised to notice the extent of my vitiligo. During summer months, areas where I have remaining skin colour tan, creating greater contrast between pigmented and unpigmented areas.

It occurred to me that being startled to see my vitiligo in a photo is a result of having programmed myself years ago to avoid looking in mirrors. At 45, I'm thankful to no longer be as emotionally handicapped by vitiligo as I was at 19 when it first began and through some of my 20s. Though I wish I could more freely enjoy the outdoors on sunny days without all sorts of sun gear, I recognize and give thanks for all that living with vitiligo has taught me.

But getting back to the the thought on mirrors - because it was exceedingly difficult for me to process my ever-changing appearance through my 20s, I avoided looking closely at myself in mirrors. You might wonder how this is possible with mirrors being virtually everywhere. It's quite simple to do, really, you keep your gaze off yourself while in the bathroom and don't turn on the lights unless absolutely necessary. Our younger son has asked me on a few occasions why I never turn the light on when I'm brushing my teeth, shaving, and washing up - he continues to find it amusing and a sight of curiosity to see me shave and clean up in the dark. I tell him the truth, that it's an old habit that came out of being emotionally distressed about my vitiligo as a young adult.

Noticing the extent of my vitiligo in that recent photo made me think about when mirrors were invented, and what life was like when humans could only examine their appearance via their own reflection in water or perhaps in polished metals.

Historians generally agree that the first rudimentary mirrors used by humans were likely developed in the 1400s. In 1835, a German chemist developed a process for applying a thin layer of silver to clear glass, and once his technique was improved upon, it wasn't long before mass production of mirrors created a world where humans began identifying with their physical appearance.

I find this fascinating, that for most of human history, people went through life without a clear idea of what they looked like. Their sense of self - their identity - had very little to do with their physical features. Rather, I would imagine their identity was tied to the people they spent time with, the work they did, where they lived, and of course, what they thought and felt. Imagine such an existence for a moment and compare it to what we have today where technology has allowed our phones to become mirrors that record images and videos that can be shared with the world in a few taps - we can even add whiskers that move with our noses and animal ears that move on top of our heads!

Today, there is an epidemic of what psychotherapists call "the worried well" - people whose basic needs for survival are more than being met, but who are handicapped by depression and anxiety. Some might think that this is a stretch, but I wonder if widespread adoption of mirrors was ground zero, the harbinger of an epidemic of partial paralysis from issues related to self-actualization. If we weren't hyper-aware of what we physically look like, would we be as anxious, vain, jealous, petty, afraid, and covetous as we can be at times?

I think it's pretty clear that the less we focus on ourselves and the more we put our energy toward being of service to others, the more fulfilled we feel. This doesn't require that we neglect ourselves, only that we strive to value relationships and our contributions to this world more than we value how we look, or in some cases of social media use, how we appear to look. This isn't a manifesto being written in a cabin off grid. We are all living in the same matrix, and I am merely wondering out loud.

When our boys were tiny, I used to think about how they would react to one day realizing that my skin is different than most. Would they be embarrassed or ashamed of my appearance? Would they feel bad that others might make fun of them because of me?

One day when our older son Joshua was 8, he and I were standing around before one of his tennis classes and another boy came up and asked me why my skin is the way it is. I explained it to him like I always do with kids, giving the analogy of how some animals have different colours, and how it's the same with me, that it doesn't hurt, that I just look different. After the boy nodded and moved on, Joshua sidled up to me from the side, and without a word, wrapped his little arm around my shoulder and gave me a good squeeze.

That was the moment when I realized that I didn't have to fear our boys having a harder lot in life because of my appearance. It was the moment when I realized that both of our sons have real warmth in their hearts, and that they will attract plenty of goodness with their caring spirits as they walk through this world. It was the moment that marked an emotional turning point in my journey with vitiligo, the moment when I took a huge leap forward in feeling free of it. Healed by our 8-year old son's heart and his little left arm.

One can not really avoid all mirrors. I was always taught to "like" the person I saw and to this day (70 years later) I always smile at the ever changing person in the mirror. Darkness or acceptance?

I would agree, and I am not suggesting that people avoid looking in mirrors. I'm a fan of being good to oneself and even trying caring self talk while looking in the mirror, as Louise Hay has made popular for many.

I heartily agree with your comment "the less we focus on ourselves and the more we put our energy toward being of service to others, the more fulfilled we feel." I have long felt that those acquaintances I have met who battled depression were always the same ones who could only talk about themselves and their problems. As for the vitiligo and the worry you had about your sons, allow me to share this with you. We have a family friend, classmate of one of our sons, who began visiting us a lot after high school, then ended up living with us a few years. After awhile, one gets used to whatever is on the face of a friend - mole, birthmark, or in your case and his, vitiligo. He was very self-conscious about it, but later on after he had married and had a couple of kids, he happened to grow a beard for a short time. That was the coolest beard I have ever seen! In the unpigmented spots, the hair was white, otherwise it was brown. It reminded me of a pinto marked horse (I grew up on a ranch). Really, I had not given a thought to his facial pigmentation for years until seeing that remarkable beard. If you ever choose to grow a beard, I would love to see a picture.

Thank you for such a thoughtful post, Sandi. I'm sure that your son's friend remembers your family with fondness, as there are few greater feelings than being accepted just as we are - how lovely that you did this for him.

I don't take a lot of photos of myself close up and in good lighting, but if such a photo ever materializes, I will be happy to share it. I have come to embrace my vitiligo in many ways, and this has become possible partly thanks to the kindness of many - I count you among them! - Ben

Dr Kim: Today's story was another taste of the perfection of your gift of sharing in so many matters that affect our lives. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much, Lee, your encouraging note means a great deal to me. - Ben

Hi Dr Kim
Thank you for sharing your experience. Have you tried avoiding lectins to heal vitiligo and has that worked? Appreciate all the blogs about food and exercises with clear instructions and demonstrations. You look amazing and vibrant. Best wishes!

I haven't tried systematically avoiding lectins - I've received a few other notes about lectins since posting this, so I'll definitely be looking into it, though truth be told, I haven't done anything specific to try to cure my vitiligo in many years, as my instinct tells me that I'm closer to the end than to the beginning of my time here, and there are so many other things I am interested in doing with my remaining time. I appreciate you sharing. - Ben

Hi Dr Ben
you are only 45, it's all relative, you could live until you are 100! I hope you do so in continued good health.

Thank you Hilda! I will be thankful for every day. :) I wish you many wonderful days as well.

- Ben

How do you shave well in the dark? I would be afraid of cutting myself.

There is some residual light from windows and such, so it's not done in complete darkness. An old habit that I would probably be wise to correct! The thing is, I have very little facial hair and what comes in comes in slowly, so I only shave about once a week, so it's not something I think about too often.

Mirrors are such a double edged sword. On the one hand, you'd cross the street when you saw me some days, if I didn't do a quick reality check in the mirror before I go out for the day. On the other they can be overly distracting and draw us into narratives of should's and wishes for something impossible.

I think the key is perhaps not to get drawn into a narrative, as in do not expect to find the cover of Vogue or Equire in there. Those photo shoots take hours for a reason. Back before mirrors were invented and they weren't very good back then, I doubt anyone expected to look like a queen or a prince in the mirror. most people had funny features that we would hardly allow to pass these days like big warts or funny ears, and they were Ok with it.

So when I feel that tightening, "Take a moment breathe with your feet on the ground, and see how you feel," is what I always tell myself. That's what I liked about your story; "It doesn't hurt." I used to notice how I loved myself in the mirror more at the end of dance class. It is all in the mind. Now I like myself more, and I probably look a lot worse as I was a lot younger & way cuter then.

I really enjoy your newsletter and blog, and read it all the time!

Thank you Madeline! I appreciate you sharing.

- Ben

Dr. Ben Kim,

Thanks a lot for sharing your story with us. I wish you were my brother! Namaste.

My skin problems are the exact opposite of yours, Dr. Kim. Facial hyperpigmentation that started about 15 years ago that's been resistant to everything I've tried. So I'm familiar with the tyranny of the mirror. It's annoying but I'm relatively healthy, don't take any medications and have plenty of energy. So now at 56, it's a wash. I used to wear makeup even at home and definitely when answering the doorbell. But now my family is used to and actually used to hate that I wore makeup indoors. You and other commenters are right. Acceptance by those you love is healing. I was a counselor by training so I've seen first hand this kind of healing power. But the most powerful healing power is the one you are exhibiting here. Self acceptance. Self love. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) how rare this is. So now a days I accept the curious looks I get at the door and am grateful for all the truly beautiful things I get to enjoy in this life. Thanks for your examination of this topic.

There is beautiful energy in your writing S. Thank you so much for sharing. I find it is also healing to feel we are not alone in some struggle, and though our skin health challenges are opposite in appearance, the emotional journey has likely been similar, so thank you for helping others like me know we are far from being alone. - Ben

I absolutely love your occasional thought provoking post. While mirrors reflect some things and while people often see what they expect to see instead of how others see them, I believe some of the biggest negatives on how we see ourselves has been caused by those trying to sell their product (whatever it happens to be) and by us as a population buying into their beliefs. And because it starts at such a young age, we grow up believing whatever it is that we hear/read, etc. I have even lately found myself paying attn. to what society says is the right look, etc. and have called myself on it. However, on the reverse side of that is the expectation of some who will try to tell you that you must love their look because society says it is ok for them to love it themselves (Mostly this is in fashion and personal ways of dressing). We are all different and do not like the same things and we all need to realize that this is so and simply concentrate on those things that are less seen. As it has been said before, Beauty is only skin deep. And it is mostly what is below the skin that counts. Thank you Dr. Kim for sharing these thoughts.

Thanks so much for contributing to this conversation in such a meaningful say, Sandi. We can all benefit from the reminders in your post. - Ben

8 Car Driving Tips For Beginners

8 Car Driving Tips For Beginners

How Do You Go About Instructing A New Driver With No Experience Whatsoever How To Drive?

If you are a total newbie in handling a manual car, read these 8 car driving tips for beginners carefully. To teach a young 17 year old student with no experience whatsoever how to drive is indeed a very formidable task to perform. It is like, expecting the driving instructor to do what David Copperfield does, make the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur disappear.

When I think about the above, which I have to do, it sometimes makes me wonder in amazement, how for over forty years, I was able to carry out this duty to my students.

Today, I will attempt to lay out the best manner to impart this knowledge to someone who wishes to take up driving. Before we continue further, remember that since 1st January 1970, the law stipulates, instructing someone who does not know how to drive is against the law and therefore illegal. You can easily be arrested by the police and the J.P.J. authorities.

Who then has the authority to teach new students in the art of driving?

The answer to this is the driving school or institutes instructor, and no one else.

The instructor, you should remember possesses the certificate to teach. This certificate, in the driving school arena is known as the S.M.2 certificate.

In spite of knowing the above, you may still wish, to say, teach your son or daughter how to drive. Well then, here goes regarding how best to impart the art of driving to your children.

The methods I would suggest to you are:

1) The 10 and 2 position to hold the steering.

Explain to the new driver, the hands are to be placed ideally at 10 and 2 position. The steering, advise the student, should be held firmly and not gripped too tightly.

Remember, in times of emergency, an instructor will have to swerve the steering to avoid collision. A student gripping on to the steering tightly, will prevent the instructor from reacting fast enough when dangerous situations occur.

Therefore, a good instructor should test the steering grip of the student by pushing the steering left to right, ensuring that it can rotate fairly easily.

You will be surprised how a 5 foot girl, when in fear, will hold on to the steering. And believe me, her strength is way much stronger for an adult instructor to handle.

2) Explain how to switch on the ignition key.

Many do not know how to switch on or start an engine. Therefore, the first thing a new student has to be taught is how to start a vehicle. Explain to the student, one has to turn the ignition switch 3 times to the right before a car can start.

Practice this 2 or 3 times. Do it a few times till you are satisfied that your student can actually start a car.

Why is this important?

Because if the car should stall suddenly, you as an instructor will not be able to re-start the car for her. With traffic following behind, the student is the only person who can solve the problem of a car stalling. She has to be able to re-start the engine herself.

You cannot help her as the ignition switch is too far and out of your reach. Hopefully, you get the idea of how vitally important you have to teach your new student how to start a car.

3) Explaining how to manipulate the signals or indicators.

Next, the necessity to explain how to manipulate the signals or the indicators. Show the new student that pushing the indicator left of downwards to the right, indicates the intention to go towards the right direction.

4) Adjusting the driver’s seat.

A new driver should be taught how to adjust the seating position. Show the new driver, using the left hand, that there’s a lever under the driver’s seat which controls the seat forward or backwards. The incline adjuster is located beside the right hip of the driver.

5) How to adjust the handbrake.

Adjusting the handbrake is important. Inform the new driver to install the handbrake, one has to pull up the lever. It’s the releasing of the handbrake that poses some difficulty.

To release the brake, firstly pull up the brakes half an inch, press the release button and leave the handbrake down.

6) The gears of a manual car.

To drive a manual car, one has to learn up where the gears are located. In most cars, there’s a diagram of the gear positions imprinted on the gear knob.

Teach the student the positions of gear 1 to 5 plus the free gear. Also inform the new student, that when wishing to engage any of the gears, you should step on the clutch.

As this is the first lesson, do not bother about the reverse gear. Leave the learning of this difficult gear for another lesson.

7) The horns.

Teach or show a new student where the horn is located. Some are in the centre of the steering stalk, while others are located at the side of the steering wheel.

8) The clutch, the brakes and finally the accelerator.

Explain the various important mechanism of the clutch, the brakes and the accelerator. Explain to the new driver which leg he or she has to use. If necessary, make a new driver learn by heart the positions of the gears.

Not knowing the exact position of each gear will cause difficulty when learning how to drive.

There are other items of a manual car to be learnt. But what I’ve demonstrated to you this far will be sufficient for you to drive a car. Other things and aspects of a car will be demonstrated to you at a later stage.

Hopefully, with the advice I have given will be able to assist you to teach someone you have or care for how to drive.

    Hi author, nice n useful blog.. Just asking if you could help me..
    I already have car license but I have not been driving for almost 5 years now..
    I got scared after an accident and could not overcome the fear on the road..
    Now i’ve been thinking of taking driving lessons frm nearby driving school..
    do you know if there is any driving school that can teach a license holder like me…??

    • Cikgu Yap March 21, 2010 at 12:09 am - Reply

      5 years is rather long time. You have been psychologically affected by your accident. To overcome your fear, you need a very good and patient driving instructor.

      The above instructor need to slow and instill confidence back into you.

      Whether you will be able to find an instructor of such caliber as I described, is anybody’s guess.

      Anyway, I hope you succeed in finding him. Best of luck to you.

      By the way, where are you located?

  2. Alice Joseph May 30, 2010 at 9:04 pm - Reply

    I recently started my driving lessons after going through the normal procedures for obtaining my license. I’ve never driven in my life nor do I know anything about cars. So, it was indeed an excitement for me when I started the 8-hour requirement lessons. However on the second day of my lesson, my instructor started raising his voice and showing his displeasure, in fact he made stopped the lesson 10 mins before the lesson time ended. Clearly he is not communicating with me well and I’m expected to know when to change to gear 2 while driving – this is an example. I don’t mind him being strict with me because I really want to learn but definitely not on my second day!! I did not want to get into an argument with him either because then it would affect our ‘relationship’ and this will make lessons harder to handle. Please advise what I should do. I’m thinking of changing my instructor/driving school after the 8 hour lesson requirement and take my subsequent additional lessons from another instructor who would be more patient and sincere in teaching me to drive. Looking at your profile, I wish I could continue my lessons with you but based on location, I’m not sure if you would be keen. I live in Setapak whereas you are in Klang.

    Thank you.

    • Cikgu Yap June 1, 2010 at 3:59 pm - Reply

      Having an unsuitable driving instructor obviously will cause you lots of unpleasantness. Should you fell uneasy with your present instructor, by all means, seek another who is suitable to you.

      You are right! An instructor who is impatient and cannot communicate with you will make learning very unpleasant.

      Thank you for you kind words. As you say, you are in Setapak and I am in Klang. Make sure you find the correct instructor in your next quest. Best of luck!

    Beginner also probably can`t drive at night. I`m always need to able look at my clutch,brake and gas pedal to have confidence. I already have a P license and yet to drive on the road.

    • Cikgu Yap August 19, 2010 at 12:03 pm - Reply

      Looks like you need more lessons and practice. If possible, ask some family member or friend to assist you.

  4. Suresh More April 22, 2013 at 8:45 pm - Reply

    I have Passed car driving test and did car driving practiced for one month with instructor and drive car for 3/4 times on my own, without instructor. The confidence was built but then one day, while reversing car parking, by mistake, I pressed accelerator in place of break and the car banged backside fence but luckily no one was injured.

    From that time on, for last three months, I have not drived my car and have lost the confidence.

    Please suggest how to install the confidence back.

    Suresh More

    • Cikgu Yap April 23, 2013 at 9:57 pm - Reply

      New drivers should ideally not get in sort of mishaps. They will lose confidence. I suggest you take up further refresher lessons to get your confidence back.

Cosmetic Dental Care

Bonding is a process in which tooth-colored material is applied to tooth surfaces, sculpted into shape, hardened, and polished to match surrounding teeth.

Open Folder in Visual Studio Code

Now this is handy.

I do a lot of development on my local machine, and I came across a nice little macOS service that will open a folder in Visual Studio Code.

If you use Visual Studio Code, I highly recommend this. It’s a quick and simple way to get VSCode open on a certain location with little effort. You can download the macOS service from Runar Ovesen Hjerpbakk’s Github repository. The instructions to install it are there as well.

Once it’s installed you just right click on any folder, go down to Services in the context menu, and select Open in Visual Studio Code. Easy peasy.

Katy Perry’s Roar Is About John Mayer?

Katy Perry's Roar Is About John Mayer?

Katy Perry has hinted her new single Roar is about her on/off boyfriend John Mayer.

The singer has scored a big hit with her latest single, soaring to the top of the pop charts following the song’s release at the end of August after her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

She has now spoken about the song’s inspiration, revealing she wrote the track while reeling from a break-up, leading fans to wonder if the subject is her current boyfriend Mayer, who she recently reunited with after a split earlier this year.

In a new interview with BBC Radio 1, she said, “Roar is a song I wrote as I was a little bit upset. I found myself having a break with my boyfriend, who I loved very much and it really hurt my heart. I said to myself, ‘I need to see what is going on with me and make sure I’m all good.’ When you breakup with someone it’s easy to say they are crazy and think it’s all them, but, honestly, maybe there is 50 percent responsibility on your behalf. It was just time for me to be honest with myself.”

Mayer recently revealed he was blown away heard Roar, telling Billboard, “I remember hearing it, going like, ‘Wow, what an interesting experience’ to hear something that you identify as massive before it’s massive… In a way you get swallowed up by it, it’s so big. Because it’s such an incredibly big song that it doesn’t need you to tell anybody, while you’re eating lunch, millions of people are going to be dancing on tables to that.”

Revolutionary Invention Relieves Spine and Back Problems by Simply Using the Power of Magnets

Millions of people suffer from bad posture, which leads to daily back pains. The only solution seems to be medical help. Could this revolutionary new product in the market relieve your back pain, in an ingenious way?

Summary of Article: In the modern world, humans spend most of their time sitting down. The number of people suffering from back pain due to bad posture is achieving alarming levels. This simple yet highly effective invention will comfortably help you achieve a better posture and therefore release the pressure on your spine. The result, massive improvements with your back pain. Click here to get it 50% off…
Many people are using harmful pharmaceutical drugs to manage back pain. However, BackHero – a 100% natural product – promises to relieve you of your back pain with no chemical risk at all. BackHero, a magnetic posture support aid, is changing the way in which people sit, stand, and walk for the benefit of their spine.Using magnetic elements that work in line with your nervous system, it might just be the effective product which we’ve been waiting for, which allows you to relieve your back pain naturally.

What is BackHero?

In today’s highly digital world it is easy to sit on the computer or couch for hours without realizing how slouched and bent your back is. As a result, though, your back gets misaligned which results in back pain. Your back has to be straight, but if you continue your days without proper back posture, you might notice that is causing more harm than good.

Now there is a new product on the market, which researchers have concluded to be very useful and easy to use on daily basis. We loved the simple, yet the ingenious idea of it, and had our researchers take a look at the product, to make sure that it really works…

What is it? BackHero is comfortable and easy to use posture corrector, which has built-in magnets. It comes with adjustable straps, fits most of the body shapes and it is made of elastic and breathable cotton and neoprene, so it is easy to use even on very hot days.
BackHero gives you your control back. You don’t have to solely count on taking pills, remedies, and powders. Instead, by using BackHero, you’ll receive a 100% natural product which is used by thousands of chiropractors and they recommend it worldwide.BackHero lines your back, shoulders, and neck, relieves pain and discomfort and relaxes sore and tired muscles.

What is the secret of BackHero?

For many years medical experts recommended aspirin, paracetamol and other dangerous pain relief products for lower back pain, neck pain and general back pain. In recent years though, it has been scientifically proven that these traditional products are not effective at all. After such announcements in medical journals worldwide, BackHero’s researchers strove to find a product which in fact is effective.

BackHero differs from other products in many ways. First of all, we have noticed it is exceptionally cheap. It doesn’t matter if you have high or low income, it is reasonably priced compared to most of the powders, pills, drinks and other products on the market. Additionally – and importantly – it really works! You buy it once and it works until you no longer need spinal treatment. So simple!

Unlike other products which are consumed traditionally, BackHero is also easy to remember to use. You simply just wear it when you get dressed in the morning and take it off in the evening when you no longer need it. With other products, you need to remember to take them regularly – without satisfactory results.

What are the benefits of BackHero?

Our researchers, who spend hours sitting with bad posture on their computers, were very excited to try BackHero themselves.  Instead of giving just a list of possible benefits, they decided to list the advantages, which they really experienced. As a result, the potential customers of this product really get a sight of what positive things can be expected.

Firstly, the researchers noticed how comfortable the spinal support was. Thanks to soft and elastic fabric, it was easy to wear and take off. When it was on, the only way to notice it was there, was that they could sit in a more natural position. After only a few days the results were apparent. The suffered less spinal pain, they didn’t have sore muscles or back pain and one of the researchers even noticed fewer headaches. Integrated magnets together with the position itself, they gave the researchers a chance to relax their muscles without back posture or without putting the weight on other parts of the body.

  • Flexible neoprene and cotton material
  • Comfortable to use
  • Straightens your posture
  • Reduces back and neck pain

Who can use BackHero?

BackHero is a product out of which anybody can benefit. It is suitable for both genders, fits most body shapes and sizes, and it fits unique body shapes due to its flexibility. In our opinion, this is very important, because not all the products suit everybody. Typically, there are more effective to some, but not for all.

We have noticed that BackHero is trendy in many ways. Back pain and posture problems are not only an issue for a certain type of person. Regardless of the lifestyle, at any moment people can start suffering from back pain and bad posture. Either you are a mother carrying a child on your hip, a construction worker who bends down to move bricks all day, or an office employee in front of the computer, BackHero can be the product you have been looking for.
Only in a few days, this posture support will help to change your life.
