Saving the Chilean mine workers

by Sanne

This morning I was allowed to read the first thing that the 33 miners buried Chile were all saved. Besides the joy for the families, joined by yet to relief. When we decided for our honeymoon in the Atacama desert, the miners were trapped for 14 days. When it became clear that the rescue should take until December, introduced himself to me the question of how to enjoy my honeymoon carefree when must fear "under me" 33 miners their lives. Actually irrational, because we will be hundreds of miles away from the crash site. Now that the rescue operations are complete, I am more so at the Atacama desert, with its brilliant landscape.

Whether the rescue was a technical masterpiece or miracle now, everyone must decide for itself, on its part before each their own opinion. I'm glad for my part, if I have to make such an experience before.

At the conclusion nor the SWR3 Comix Stoiber , the rescue of the Chileans explains. He has rightly recognized that bunnies need in the pit 10 minutes from Chile to Stuttgart, or was it the Munich airport? ;)

Stuttgart 21 as the valve of current policy

by Andi

Where to start in Stuttgart 21 or # s21, and where do you stop? I have to admit the facts regarding the project, I am not familiar to 100%, but all I've read and heard points to similar conditions as in out of the Karlsruhe combined solution. Similar cost explosions and similar disagreement on the part of the population with the policy concerning the meaning and purpose of the measure.

Nevertheless, S21 is being pursued because it was so completely legitimized again and again thoroughly democratic. So I wonder how it could then come to such action as yesterday in the park in Stuttgart.

All the signs for me pointed out that there was a peaceful demonstration. A conscience pledged police would have to pull the ripcord and de-escalating intervention. De-escalating in this case, my opinion would have been not to allow the felling of trees by the eviction. So now an "unnecessary" part of the construction project was completed instead of waiting for a referendum.

All in all, I stay back stunned, as it may happen that a student demonstration as originally started action results in even Spiegel Online by a civil war talks.

DPA sets by: injured in Stuttgart. # S21 on Twitpic

The man in the picture, at the rally as far as I understand it lost his eyesight ...

If you look at in the same context, the excitement about recalculation of Hartz IV and the extension of nuclear power over the will of the citizens of time, one need not wonder in my opinion, that develops an unhealthy climate Sarrazin. So a climate in which the people fooled by the policies simply happen and are susceptible to such trickster Sarrazin.

The video of Baden-Wuerttemberg Interior Minister and his statement that mothers and fathers of their children have virtually used as shields. Just to say such a perfidious.

Read value is also the compilation of many tweets to # S21 at Fixmbr . Also a large collection found in Opalkatze .
Now hope that this evening in Stuttgart moderate and proportionate really approaching.

Addendum: On 9 October will take place in the German Embassy for a reception to mark German Unity Day. At this reception Stefan Mappus (CDU) is well known, Baden-Württemberg Minister President, here to participate in Riyadh. I'm curious even know if it in any form, are reactions to the current situation in Stuttgart, or whether only the knock-friendly shoulder. We have to, because of Susan's work in the German school, an invitation. We will look at the least :)

New Work for Women

by Sanne

This is what's driving in Saudi Arabia. Previously we were only allowed women in education and medical professions to work. The banks have Ladies Sections in which the women are used only by women. This also applies to the ladies Sections in shopping centers where there are some shops, where women collect. For white noses, there are also times office jobs, but rather the record. In the messages, women can work here. Now, however, will see a new profession. At h, one of the many supermarket chains here in Saudi, is nearby female cashiers. Unfortunately, only in Jeddah, where it is received already more open than a little here in Riyadh. Of course, the outcry in the Konservatisten was great, but the new chairman of the Savola Group, the Saudi Minister of Labor, with the protective hand of the king. Also there since last year, a mixed secondary school after the university was open so even for female students.

This message managed it even in the German press . After only one day a denial was common. It would be issued a fatwa, also called for a boycott, the chain would make a bicycle kick that women but not expected to the cash register . Only that's not quite right. Yes, a fatwa was declared, however, an unauthorized and is therefore invalid. The women were not transferred to other departments. The contrary, a second supermarket chain called Marhaba also provides cashiers and a female panda would hyper hire more women.

In order not to give false impression that women are vollverschleiert behind the checkout stand. This segregation is perpetuated. For the ladies will collect in Familiy Sections. Some men are thus no way to have a look at the ladies to throw.

Of course a lot of persuasion will be complied with. There are many dissenting voices. One argument, for example, that the unemployment rate is so high that the women the men should not take the job. Fears that Saudi men are still bad now was expressed. be the fear that women are tired of the obfuscation and it sounds by store. Then it would only be a small step up the women also were going to start car! But just as vehemently as the step is praised. Whether the way to Riyadh is seems questionable, since we live here but in the stricter part of the country.

Now we'll have time to go to Jeddah to shop at Panda and Marhaba :)

Hi Dad! Help. Finally Dad - The sequel to Caveman

by Andi

Sometimes advertising works after all. Recently we heard of "Hi Dad! Help at last Papa ", the successor to Caveman piece. The latter had visited in 2007 we visited. Now for Hi Dad! again led Esther pig director not long and we zöckerten cards we worried for the play in the theater house in Stuttgart.

The play takes place after the wedding of Tom and Heike, with the relationship it had gone to Caveman. Tom, in our case represented by Martin Luding, describes how his life is like after the wedding and actually everything is as it should be from his perspective. Were it not for the recurring questions of the relationship, because when it would be far from them now. From there it goes in quick succession, and Tom finds himself in esoteric prenatal classes again he reviles skillfully. It may also not lacking, as it adapts during pregnancy out of loyalty to his character by his partner and asks that future pregnant men may also get compliments for this achievement. It follows the birth, with its floor lord and disbelief, as to the rapid removal from the hospital, where Tom and Heike not even know yet what they all have to consider now.

What is not missing is the detailed description of sleep deprivation and the resulting power games between the two. So who loses the battle for the rising need to feed the baby. In the end, Tom shows a conciliatory course, and also confirmed the cliché that children are a fulfillment ;)

Of course, also plays Hi Dad! As already Caveman with all clichés about pregnancy, birth and the time with the baby. But that very skillfully. This of course was the stage presence of a Martin Luding, which one naturally notes the years of experience. However, it also notes that not only plays the role of Luding, but survived. This is probably mainly because Luding the last two years with his first child, just made the experience that play and he is also just back in the heyday of pregnancy infected. Thus, so basically less play, as much more laid-lived practice and everyday experience of a young father ;)

Who could Caveman is also Hi Dad! find his pleasure. We were there in any case already given some Vorgeschmäcke ;)

Avatar is a tribute to 3D

by Andi

avatar-aufbruch-pandora There are films that take themselves for any event in the cinema to see and then there will be nothing. So it was me the last few years several times, but on Avatar but I've finally made it. And since I often read that the film makes sense only in 3D, it also had the idea to be with the additional dimension. Why are there because otherwise the movie day? It was then "only" 9.50 € for a film-long, what I feel is still too expensive. Well.

I was already on Up - Top of the 3D effects quite excited , the Avatar has considerably reinforced. First, there is of course the difference is that it is up to a pure comic book movie. The result is that the recognition arises not so, as at Avatar, a film of the real world, the case.
For other uses 3D avatar not only catch to the effect (the course), but can rise above all about the feeling you are in fact the middle of it. As an example, a scene is called, sit in the soldiers in a troop carrier. By 3D I got the feeling of confinement that exists in that vehicle, without question also conveys feeling. And those moments can be pulled out many times.
You can see the film, then, that it was made for 3D, ie the third dimension of it was already in the planning for the movie before it even went to the technical camera implementation.

Leaving the dimensional effects behind and focus on the pictures is also impressive avatar. The implementation of the Na'vi acts, so I thought for a second about whether these creatures really are. There was no moment at which I was thinking about it, "the moment was indeed filmed in a blue / green box, eight time, whether it detects edges in the cooperation between real and virtual elements." But, that seems to me that thought until after the end of the film or in writing this article in his head tells me that the implementation has worked.

About the story may argue if you want, I liked it, and simply entertain. It may be that it has weaknesses, but I have not noticed. Instead, I found many details, such as the compound of Na'vi with their "horses" or "flight animals" to match the overall concept of the life of the Na'vi in harmony with nature. Otherwise, it is of course only a first broken patriotic soldier who takes over the infiltration into the Na'vi his own harmony with nature, and of course the love and ultimately fighting for the Na'vi. But as the mix of effects, images and story perfectly fit for me avatar is definitely a great _Kino_Film. I suspect however that he has only half as good at home, so I would also recommend any James Cameron's work created just for the movies to see in the movies. So then he is still running ;)
