Bored and utterly fed up with the wait for new episodes or word of any sort, the Avatar cast has decided to follow Mai's lead and begin making their own commecials. During this commercial break, Katara   more...ad Toph have a major disagreement, Mai does her own commercial, and Piandao takes certain viewers on a trip down nostalgia lane.

I had to tread fairly cautiously with some of the products--kids can't drink beer! So, that stuff is left to the adults. Three TV commercials, one radio commercial, one informercial. Enjoy!





The voice in Mai's commercial is Cricket Leigh, the girl's own voice. Just like before. I couldn't use it last time due to a lack of clips...but now, it works so well, it's freaky.

This was a real challenge for me. I'm very good with maps, but to venture out beyond Taipei city on my own was a stretch. I consciously knew that I would get lost, and within 20 minutes, I had already   more...taken the wrong turn. hah.  less

Not wanting to go to work, I take a detour. I make a quick spin before going into the office to relieve the depression... and then I'm happy again.

Wellington is New Zealands Capital.
26 April 2008 was the Capital Coast Adventure where over 200 of us gathered in Wellington for an awesome motorcycling adventure.
This clip is like a DVD outtake, not   more...part of the route but certainly part of the adventure... for some of us at least who took a wrong turn at instruction #27  less

Abstract Thoughts on Capital Punishment,

secret government

Clip...

Just wondering if I'm the ONLY geek here...

Archaeology, Cultural Anthropology – The vanished capital of the Pharaoh

secret government

Since our nation's founding, the government -- colonial, federal, and state -- has punished a varying percentage of arbitrarily-selected murders with the ultimate sanction: death.

More than 14,000 people   more...have been legally executed since colonial times, most of them in the early 20th Century. By the 1930s, as many as 150 people were executed each year. However, public outrage and legal challenges caused the practice to wane. By 1967, capital punishment had virtually halted in the United States, pending the outcome of several court challenges.

In 1972, in Furman v. Georgia, the Supreme Court invalidated hundreds of death sentences, declaring that then existing state laws were applied in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner and, thus, violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantees of equal protection of the laws and due process. But in 1976, in Gregg v. Georgia, the Court resuscitated the death penalty: It ruled that the penalty "does not invariably violate the Constitution" if administered in a manner designed to guard against arbitrariness and discrimination. Several states promptly passed or reenacted capital punishment laws.

Today, states have laws authorizing the death penalty, as does the military and the federal government. Several states in the Midwest and Northeast have abolished capital punishment. Alaska and Hawaii have never had the death penalty. The vast majority of executions have taken place in 10 states from the South and over 35% have occurred in Texas. In 2004, the high courts of Kansas and New York struck down their death penalty statutes as unconstitutional and the legislatures have yet to reinstate them.

Today, about 3,350 people are on "death row." Virtually all are poor, a significant number are mentally disabled, more than 40 percent are African American, and a disproportionate number are Native American, Latino, and Asian.

The ACLU believes that, in all circumstances, the death penalty is unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment. We also believe that the death penalty continues to be applied in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.  less
