The imagery of that first nationally televised presidential debate, one of four that fall, marked a turning point in the election and, more significantly, a sea change in what the nation's political contests would look like forever after.
In many ways, the 1960 election was the first modern American political campaign, with all its TV-induced stagecraft, symbolism, and microscopic media glareso evident this year in the race between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain as another new medium, the Internet, scrambles the rules all over again.
"Those debates changed the conversation entirely," says Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia. "Television is all about image, not substance," Sabato says, adding, "Kennedy was elected based largely on what happened in those debates."
More than 70 million people (out of a nation of 179 million) watched that first debate. Vice President Nixon, 47, had been a debater in college and was expected to overwhelm Kennedy. But the 43-year-old Massachusetts Senator, with his TV-friendly poise, seemed to gain support from many people who had questioned his relative inexperience and youth.
Debating Who Won
On a Chicago studio set far more simple and stark than any seen in the 2008 campaign, the pair ticked off answers to fairly dry questions about education, the minimum wage, and the federal debt.
The next day, the nation's reaction underscored the power of the television tableau: People who had listened to the debate on radio were more likely to think Nixon had "won," while those who watched it on TV were more likely to think Kennedy came out on top. TV viewers tended to think that Nixon, who was recovering from the flu but had declined to wear makeup, looked awful, right down to his light gray suit, which made him blend into the studio's backdrop. Impressions of viewers from Nixon's hometown of Whittier, Calif., made clear just how indelible the television images had beeneven to an exceptionally friendly crowd.
"He looked sick, but also a little unsure," Albert W. Upton, who had been Nixon's drama coach at Whittier College, told The New York Times. And Nixon's former law partner, Thomas Bewley, said, "Dick just didn't look good. His...clothes were wrong. He didn't have the old spirit."
'The Action Is in the Studios'
Nixon learned his lesson: In the three debates that followed, he wore a darker suit and makeup and didn't pull his punches, as some felt he had in the first meeting.
Much like the Internet today, television seemed to become ubiquitous overnight: By 1960, 90 percent of American homes had a set. The new medium forced candidates and campaigns to evolve on the fly: That year, Nixon and Kennedy both appeared on The Jack Paar Show, the precursor of The Tonight Show. TV ads, first used in the 1952 presidential election by Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, became a critical part of elections in 1960. Historian Theodore White, who wrote about the 1960 campaign, said: "Television is the political process; it's the playing field of politics. Today, the action is in the studios, not in the backrooms."
Nixon's commercials trumpeted his experience as Eisenhower's Vice President, promised to keep America safe during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and warned that Kennedy would raise taxes. Kennedy's ads presented him as ready to lead during a time of great tension in the world, highlighted his commitment to create jobs and equal opportunities for all Americans, and questioned whether Nixon was exaggerating his experience. (One ad showed a clip of President Eisenhower in which he was unable to name a single major contribution by Nixon as Vice President.)
Americans were riveted. With Eisenhower finishing up his second term and unable to run again, neither candidate had the advantage of incumbency. And Kennedy was seeking to become the first Roman Catholic in the White Houseas dramatic a first in 1960 as those possible this year when a black man, Obama, could become President, or a woman, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, could become Vice President.
That November, the election was decided by the narrowest margin in decades, with Kennedy winning the popular vote by a fraction of 1 percentfewer than 120,000 votes. The close margin set off a debate about whether fraud had changed the outcome in places like Illinois, which Kennedy won. In Chicago, Mayor Richard J. Daley (his son is Mayor today) held off releasing results until hours after the polls closed. Almost 50 years later, the extent of voting shenanigans in 1960 and whether they actually affected the result is still hotly debated.
After a dramatic inauguration in January 1961, President Kennedy, with a young, attractive family that intrigued the nation, went on to use the media in ways that no President had before. He invited photographers into the White House to take candid photos of him and his family, helping to create the Kennedys' Hollywood-like mystique. He allowed his presidential press conferences to be televised liveafter which he would analyze tapes of his performance, right down to the lighting and camera angles.
Cuba Crises
Kennedy's brief presidency was most notable for several dramatic developments in the Cold War. In April 1961, in an effort to overthrow the new Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, he ordered the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion by a group of C.I.A.-trained Cuban exiles. Many were killed or captured, and an embarrassed Kennedy found himself negotiating for the return of survivors.
In October 1962, after seeing evidence that the Soviet Union was installing nuclear missiles in Cuba, Kennedy ordered a Naval blockade of the island nation, which is only 90 miles from Florida. After 13 tense days in which Washington and Moscow were on the brink of nuclear war, the Cuban Missile Crisis ended when the Soviets backed down and removed the missiles.
A little more than a year later, on Nov. 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in a motorcade in Dallas; Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, who was two cars behind in the motorcade, took the presidential oath that afternoon. In case anyone doubted the impact of the 1960 presidential election, consider this: Despite the fact that millions of households around the nation watched the Kennedy-Nixon debates, no debates between the major-party candidates for President were held during general elections for the next 15 years. In large part, that was because incumbent candidates found ways to decline them: 1960 made it clear just how risky they could be.
From TV to YouTube
But starting with the 1976 race between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, debates became the norm, a high-pressure requirement for any presidential hopeful. And the intense spotlight of TV meant that witty soundbites and campaign blunders became iconic moments in presidential races.
In 1976, President Ford misspoke when he said that Poland, at the time still a Communist satellite, was independent of the Soviet Union; it was a gaffe that haunted him through Election Day, when he lost. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan, who some thought had grown too old for the job, effectively put the question to rest by lightheartedly pledging during a debate not to "make age an issue" for Walter Mondale, his younger Democratic opponent. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush was seen impatiently checking his watch while debating Ross Perot and Bill Clinton, who went on to win the election.
This year, debates, soundbites, and campaign-trail miscues could also have a dramatic impact in November, amplified all the more by the 24/7 nature of cable TV and the Web.
"That 1960 race changed a lot, and you can see its impacts still," says Vanessa B. Beasley, a communications professor at Vanderbilt University. "It changed who ran for office."
"And now, in an age of YouTube, image matters even more," Beasley adds. "It's more important than ever that a candidate be telegenic, and that he act not too hot and not too cool. We're watching for all of it."

When Jesus calls us, he calls us to something much bigger than ourselves. As the Church, we are commanded to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. This is more than a pithy saying or a figure of speech—we are called to be his tangible presence in the world, working to further his Kingdom. We do this by caring for both the spiritual and physical needs of the world, whether it is our next-door neighbors or people across an ocean.

A Daily Word - Dec. 28, 2010
It doesn't take a lot of money to expose a man's greed. I learned this lesson firsthand as a seminary student, when my wife and I were living on her small salary and what little I could make working part time. In one such job a haberdasher I had worked for before promised to pay me over Christmas not by the hour, but on commission. On that promise I became a man with a mission. I was selling suits and socks and pajamas and ties all day every day. I out-sold 10 or 12 others who worked with me, skipping meals and breaks so that I could spend more time on the floor. I could not wait to get that check, and surprise Jo Beth with what I had done.
When the check did come, I was the one who was surprised. I received no commission, but instead the same minimum wage I had made previously. A day or two later, I went back to the store, and reminded the owner of his promise. Another month went by, and a check came in the mail. After thinking it over, the owner sent the extra money I was owed, with a very brief note. I had earned it. I felt I deserved it. And heaven knows we needed it. But I had also thought about little else in the time since it was promised.
The next Sunday I took the check with me to church, signed the back of it, and put it in the offering plate. In just a few seconds, greed was crucified in my heart by giving. It is a lesson I have learned and re-learned many times since: you don't kill greed by getting. It only dies when we give.
Beware and be on your guard against every form of greed...

Matchup: Patriots at Ravens
8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium
Published: Sep 20, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
5-Star Players
Ray Rice, RB, Ravens. Another day, another stellar effort from Rice. Though he only carried it 16 times, he averaged 6.2 yards-per-carry and added six catches for 53 yards. Even without the touchdown, Week 2 once again showed why Rice is arguably the best back in fantasy. The top-three selection is a must-start.
Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots. Gronk was already one of the top two tight ends out there. For as long as Aaron Hernandez is out, he might be the best. For as good as the Ravens reputation is, they just gave up 157 yards to Brent Celek. Gronk should be in for a nice day at the office Sunday.
Justin Tucker, K, Ravens. Tucker's seen three field-goal attempts in each of the first two weeks. Even better, he's hit all six. We expect a similar output this week against a Patriots defense that is suspect. Tucker has emerged as a clear starter.
Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots. Things may have ended badly for Gostkowski last wee, but fantasy owners can hardly complain. He hit four of five field-goal attempts, including a pair of 50-plus yarders. The Ravens defense probably won't stop the Patriots, but they could slow them. We expect multiple attempts again for Gostkowski.
4-Star Players
Ravens defense/special teams. The Ravens gave up yards and points to the Eagles passing game, but they were able to generate three turnovers and two sacks. We expect them to pressure the Patriots, who struggled with Arizona's pass rush last week, and to lock down on the run. Any defense facing the Patriots is a bit of a risk, but odds are they're as good a unit as you're going to find on the wire right now. Start them unless you have an alternative with a clearly superior matchup.
3-Star Players
Tom Brady, QB, Patriots. Brady's Week 2 wasn't bad, as he threw for 316 yards, one score and one interception. It just wasn't the day owners expect from their star quarterback. The Ravens present another tough test for him. Brady shouldn't be sat in any league, but a good-not-great performance might be in the cards this week.
Dennis Pitta, TE, Ravens. Last week we recommended a wait-and-see approach with Pitta. He ended up with 15 targets in Week 2, catching eight of them for 65 yards. There's still some skepticism here, but it's hard to ignore a tight end getting that many looks. He's not a bad fill-in candidate for an owner that's lost a tight end to injury or is feeling uninspired by their current options.
2-Star Players
Stevan Ridley, RB, Patriots. Ridley was less effective in Week 2 but still tallied 95 total yards. Unfortunately, he gets a Ravens run defense that remains strong -- they held LeSean McCoy to 3.2 YPC last week. Functioning a the Patriots early-down and goal-line back, Ridley is an RB2 even in this tough matchup. However, he will likely need a score to have a solid day.
Wes Welker, WR, Patriots. Welker was demoted from his starting role last week, but because of the injury to Hernandez, he saw a ton of the field anyway as the Patriots' third receiver. While that is likely to continue, owners should be a bit nervous. It looks like the Pats are fazing Welker out of the offense. Hopefully for his owners the Hernandez injury represents an opportunity for him to regain his spot. Right now, he's a somewhat risky WR3, especially in standard leagues.
1-Star Players
Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens. Flacco's Week 2 against the Eagles was a far cry from his splendid Week 1 performance against the Bengals. Then again, given the horrific performance of Brandon Weeden against the Eagles and his strong outing against the Bengals, it seems to speak to the strength of the Eagles secondary or the weakness of the Bengals. It also suggests that Flacco might not have yet made the leap to elite level. He could be a useful fantasy option, but even against the Patriots, he's not one of the top-12 QBs out there. Play him if your other quarterback is in a tough matchup.
Danny Woodhead, RB, Patriots. Woodhead's gotten some work this year as the Patriots change-of- pace back, but he has yet to do much with it. There's really not enough upside to justify Woodhead starting for you, even as an injury replacement. He's not much of a handcuff either, as Shane Vereen would be the likely backup to Ridley once Vareen is back from injury.
Brandon Lloyd, WR, Patriots. Known as a big-play threat, Lloyd racked up catches in Week 2 but not yards, catching eight balls for 60 yards. He has yet to score in two games, though his 129 yards on the season is a respectable total. Against the tough Ravens defense, he represents a WR3. He should pick up some yards, but he'll need to score to have a strong day.
Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens. Smith had a tough time against the Eagles corners, though his day was similar to Week 1. He again had two catches, this time going for 51 rather than 57 yards, but he did not find the end zone. That type of day isn't a total washout, but it is troubling that Smith has only be targeted eight times in the first two weeks. He's still a WR3, but his lack of targets is limiting his upside. PPR leaguers should check to see if they have a safer option this week.
Jacoby Jones, WR, Ravens. Jones hauled in a touchdown on his one catch last week. He was targeted just twice. You can and should do better than a receiver who is seeing that few looks.
Julian Edelman, WR, Patriots. Edelman the new Welker? He may have taken Welker's job, but the fourth-year man still has a long way to go to match his productivity. Even though he was on the field a lot, Edelman had just 50 yards on five catches (six targets). It's possible his role will grow with Hernandez out, but right now, Edelman is guy to stash on your bench, not start.
Patriots defense/special teams. The Patriots offense was strong against the Titans in Week 1 but merely "OK" as a fantasy option in Week 2 despite facing a poor offensive team at home. They didn't generate a lot of pressure, getting just one sack, and they didn't record an interception against the erratic Kevin Kolb. They did recover two fumbles, but we're a little nervous about them against a superior offensive team with a dynamic running back.
0-Star Players
Bernard Pierce, RB, Ravens. With just seven rushes in two games, Pierce is nothing more than Rice's handcuff.
Anquan Boldin, WR, Ravens. Boldin was swallowed up by Nnamdi Asomugha last week, catching just two passes for seven yards. This will be a bit easier this week, but Boldin's lack of big-play ability severely limits his fantasy usefulness. He's heavily reliant on TDs to post solid numbers. Look for other options this week.
Deion Branch, WR, Patriots.He's back. Again. But fantasy owners should not bother with him. Branch is too far down the pecking order and lacking in ability at this point to be useful in fantasy. .
Kellen Winslow, TE, Patriots.Signed off the street with Hernandez hurt, Winslow brings a name to the Patriots offense, but he may not bring production. It would be surprising to see him get a big role right away, as the Patriots have plenty of reliable options already on hand. He's off the fantasy radar for now.
Ed Dickson, TE, Ravens. Dickson has seven targets in the first two weeks. That's 17 fewer than Pitta. It's clear who the favored tight end is in the Ravens offense. Dickson has lost his fantasy value.

Richard Willson Landscape Painting
Shopping Cart
Richard Willson
Los Angeles, CA - United States
E-Mail Richard Willson
Richard Willson is a plein air and landscape painter in Los Angeles, California. A co-founder of the Mount Washington Plein Air Painters, his work seeks to create empathetic observation of the interaction of the natural and built environments. The geographic focus of his work is the communities of Northeast Los Angeles.
Willson's art is influenced by the urgency of global environmental challenges. He sees plein air painting as a way of understanding and appreciating nature and human activity, leading to the view that 'observation is environmentalism'. Plein air painting places the artist in a context of changing light, weather, seasonal variations, and plant cycles. It also provides opportunity to observe human activity with nature. In Willson's case, a bridge, road, or building is often seen in relation to natural settings.
Willson's paintings are a parallel effort to his research and teaching activities on environmental sustainability as a professor at Cal Poly Pomona. Willson holds a Ph.D. in Urban Planning and has studied art at Otis Parsons Institute in Los Angeles.

Today at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the next-generation Ford Focus Wagon made its debut. This family of new Ford Focus models, along with new C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, introduce a host of class-leading technologies and features to C-segment.
The new Focus is from Ford's new global C-segment platform and will be sold in more than 120 markets worldwide with 80 percent parts commonality across all markets. European and North American Focus production will start simultaneously in late 2010, and it will go on sale early in 2011.
While the four-door sedan and five-door hatchback models of the Ford Focus will be available in the U.S., the new wagon revealed today in Europe will not. Sales of the previous Focus wagon in the U.S. dwindled to just 4 percent by 2007, showing the overwhelming preference for the other body styles offered. However, another model based on Ford's global C-car platform will be added to the U.S. market – the 7-passenger Grand C-MAX is scheduled for launch in North America late in 2011.
Here is a look at the extensive list of major features and technologies that will be available across the new Ford C-car range (depending on vehicle, series and market):
MyFord™ – Within the cockpit, the most significant innovation is the company's next-generation driver connect technology, MyFord, which provides the driver with a state-of-the-art combination of controls and display screens to operate key vehicle features. On high series vehicles, the MyFord Touch system includes an 8-inch touch screen, allowing the driver to control a wide range of functions via a clear and intuitive color display.
SYNC® – MyFord is complemented by a new generation of Ford's powerful SYNC connectivity package, which includes sophisticated voice control system, Bluetooth® and satellite navigation, along with connection points for a wide variety of external devices and media players. The Ford SYNC system will make its European debut in the next-generation Focus when it is launched early in 2011.
Active Park Assist (semi-automatic parking system) – Unlike many expensive camera-based systems, Ford Active Park Assist uses sensors around the vehicle working in tandem with Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS), to guide the vehicle into a parallel parking space. The length and depth of potential spaces are measured and if suitable, are identified for semi-automated parking. The steering is then automatically controlled while the driver operates accelerator, brake and gear controls.
Adaptive Cruise Control – This improved cruise control system helps to maintain a preset cruising speed as well as a preset distance from vehicles ahead. When the system senses a vehicle in front, it decelerates automatically to keep the preset distance, accelerating back to the preset cruising speed once the road ahead is clear.
Blind Spot Information System – This easy-to-use, radar-based feature alerts drivers to obstacles that may be hidden in the blind spot. When traffic enters the driver's blind spot on either side of the vehicle, a warning light in the corresponding side mirror illuminates, helping the driver to change lanes safely. The warning lights are positioned so the driver does not get distracted during normal driving.
Auto High Beam Control – This improves driver visibility significantly during night driving. Using a forward-looking camera, the system detects light sources ahead and when oncoming vehicles are sensed, automatically switches to low beam to avoid glare. The high beam is also deactivated in urban areas.
Electric power steering with pull-drift compensation and torque steer compensation – This minimizes fuel consumption, while also helping to eliminate unwanted steering disturbances.
Ford EasyFuel – This award-winning, capless refuelling system helps to prevent drivers from misfuelling their vehicle.
Ford Keyless System and Ford Power start button – Ford's easy-to-use keyless entry and push-button start system.
Rear view camera – This is a tailgate-mounted camera for safe and accurate reversing, with a clear image displayed on the centre console screen.

As the name suggests, this breed of cat originated in Germany. It bears a striking resemblance to the famed British Cornish Rex. However, the German Rex is not as popular as the Cornish Rex.
It is medium-sized cat with with long, slender legs and a round face. Although muscular, it is heavier than the Cornish Rex. The German Rex is also blessed with well-developed cheeks, large ears, and affectionate, alert eyes. Its whiskers, meanwhile, have a slight curl and its nose exhibits a small break.
The most remarkable feature of the German Rex, however, is its short, silky coat with extremely short awn hairs. Unlike the Cornish Rex, the awn hairs are thicker than the hair in the undercoat, which makes the cat look woollier.
This is a friendly, lively cat that will brighten up your day. It gets along well with everyone, including children and other household. Active and playful, it can be taught to play games such as fetch. In fact, the German Rex is so intelligent it can be taught to perform acrobatic tricks on cue.
Though active, this breed has tremendous patience and is extremely loyal. When not playing with its owner, it enjoys lying down and being petted..
The short-haired German Rex does not require much grooming. In addition to regularly examining its ears and eyes for infections, requires only a weekly brushing with a bristle or fine comb to smooth its hair.
Because German Rex cats lack sufficient hair to absorb oil secretions, they easily greasy and need to be bathed frequently. Wrapping the cat in a towel immediately after bathing will make it easier to dry its hair.
The history of this cat can be traced to Germany in the mid-1940s (some argue 1946, while others say 1947 or 1948). However, it was not taken seriously by most breeders until 1951, following the discovery of the Cornish Rex Cat in 1950.
According to experts, the first German Rex was a female feral, black-colored cat discovered shortly after the end of World War II. Dr. R. Scheuer-Karpin rescued her after she saw her wandering the gardens of the Hufeland Hospital amongst the ruins of war-torn East Berlin, and named her Lammchen (Lambkin). Lammchen possessed the same wavy-haired gene that is prevalent in Cornish Rex cats and produced many litters over the years. In 1957, she was crossed with one of her children. The first litter of German Rex kittens appeared as a result of this mating.
As the years passed, more German Rex cats made an appearance. In 1960, two female Rex cats, Marigold and Jet, embarked on a new adventure when they found themselves transported to the United States. A black male named Christopher Columbus followed in their footsteps. These cats laid the foundation of the Rex breed in America.
Until 1979, the Cat Fanciers' Association only recognized cats which resulted from a union between the Cornish and the German Rex cats. As they resembled each other, it was natural that one breed would overshadow the other.
The Cornish Rex continued to capture public interest, while the German Rex participated in shows in its native land as late as the '80s. However, fewer German Rex cats exist today.

our winter storm watch has progressed in stages to a blizzard warning. Suddenly I feel completely unprepared, as we opted to accept a last minute invite to a friend's house for dinner instead of being responsible and staying home to prepare. We are not getting up at 5am to do what we can… fingers crossed that we will have enough time with power to do what needs to be done.
Hi all,
Our latest foster is stumping us with the house training. He basically has no inclination to go outside.
Our guess is that he never spent any time in the house wherever he came from; his behavior suggests he was used only for hunting.
We have tried treating & praising when he goes outside (but her rarely goes outside.) Our organization recommended trying to introduce a "substrate" for him to pee on (newspaper) in his preferred indoor peeing spot, and then transferring that substrate outside. He just started peeing other places in the house rather than on the newspaper. We try to drag him outside mid-stream when we catch him, but he is generally so excited to smell stuff outside that he forgets he was peeing, then resumes peeing when we are back inside. We have tried working out a schedule where he knows when he will be outside. We have tried walking him around the yard until he goes (not fun in this weather).
Basically, nothing is sticking.
Other ideas? tricks? Anything?
Our fake wood floor is de-laminating in his choice spots, the house is starting to smell, and we had to take the throw rugs up off the floor.
A recently-published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highlyfluoridated water have "significantly lower" IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas.
In a 32-page report that can be…
Can we brainstorm low-cost ways to make our house Narnia like? Or perhaps some Narnia-inspired activities?
And I don't like omelettes all that much.
Today, we brought up the crate and bed that Buckley had used to prepare for another foster dog we are getting on Monday.
Penelope seemed a little stressed out by it, but she is generally an anxious type. She was smelling, doing a little pacing, but then seemed to calm down.
I just caught her trying to squat on the bed in that crate, right after we had been outside. She has some urine problems, but seriously, she had literally only been back in the house for 2 minutes.
I'm wondering if she can smell Buckles on the bed? Thoughts? Ideas?
I have to reuse crate & beds because, well, we aren't made of money. I did wash the bed, and I can't smell him, (he was sick, and a bluetick, all rolled into one, and therefore had a pretty distinct odor) but I know I can't compare my nose to hers.
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
sounds like an earthquake, hun.
It could have been, but there is no scuttlebut on FB about it, and because they are so rare in RI there is almost always scuttlebut. It sounded more like an explosion, it was really weird. But I have never been in an earthquake, so I really have no idea.
We are on a bit of ledge here or something because we aren't that close to the highway but when a big tractor trailer rolls by a certain spot with a heavy load we feel it. I actually thought maybe there was a bad accident on that stretch of highway, but my partner just drove over and didn't see anything… perhaps it will remain a mystery, or perhaps I just felt my first earth quake and didn't even know.
So some loud explosion-like something just shook the house…
I thought that a car ran into us or someone had decided to take a battering ram to the basement door. As I was running around trying to figure out what the h&^% was going on, the neighbor called.
"Did you hear/feel that?" She thought it was in her house.
Then a third neighbor thought it was in their house.
Oddly, we have heard no sirens,seen no other signs of trouble, and most of the other neighbors haven't even turned their outside lights on.

Malcolm Gladwell's article is an activist based story about some college students who went to a local coffee restaurant and they came across some trouble. Long story short, the waitress refused to serve the students because of their skin color. Instead of the kids accepting this, they proudly stood up for their rights and began to protest. This protest got so known that it affected people into other states, including Texas.
Malcolm Gladwell's main point is that we don't need all of these social websites to practice activism. He actually believes Facebook and Twitter are the complete opposite of what is used to practice actual activism. Gladwell disagrees with the majority of our society, saying that he does believe that different forms of social media will not start a revolution.
Personally, I completely agree with Gladwell saying that using social media is not the way to practice true activism. Activism was practiced before Twitter and Facebook were even around in society. Back before these social sites were available, we practiced activism without social media so there is no reason as to why we can't practice activism without them now.
I can say that I do trust Gladwell's judgement, but I also somewhat disagree with him thinking that the media doesn't the power to start a revolution. No matter how known the revolution, social media is a very popular and powerful invention and considering how quickly information can spread, social media has the possibility to be a major threat to our society and World as a whole.
Since the past week and a half our class discussions have been on The Shallows and about how the internet is affecting our brains and intelligence, I decided to comment on my opinion of what the internet is doing to us. To start, I agree that the internet is changing the way people think, function, and even learn as individuals.
To be even more specific, I am so personally worried about how anti social the internet is allowing people to be. Such basic, everyday tasks that used to force people to be social and interactive, is all able to be done behind a computer screen. For example, we can now online shop for almost anything we could possible need, which allows people to stay at home and antisocial instead of going to a mall or active setting. Also, we can order any food to go or for delivery through the internet, which once again cuts our social and communication skills because we dont actually have to interact with others in order to do something we need done. Again, online banking is another huge example of an everyday duty that used to force us to be socially involved but now is available entirely online.
Most importantly, I am concerned for our children and young adults that have chosen to do online schooling and online classes. Online schools defeat so many purposes of what a school in general is known for. School is supposed to teach kids how to interact with others, do physical tasks, and be disciplined and socially comfortable with society. Online schooling does not allow any of these things to be possible for our kids today. Not to mention, cheating and dishonesty in all sorts of school work is much more prone to happen through online schooling than in a normal classroom setting.
All around I feel as if the Internet is affecting us in a very scary way, but I have come to realize and accept that the internet is our future, and we have to accept the realities of todays world.
Here is a quick discussion on our weeks movie screening named Strike. Strike was a 1925 film, and a silent one at that. It was the first full length movie project of Sergei Eisenstein, who was a Russian filmmaker. Strike is a government celebration of the 1905 Bolshevik revolution. The plot consists of a series of unfortunate events that happened to the workers of a metalworks plant. The Czarist regime is unsympathetic to the workers, and they helped the plant owners to protect the victims. The workers are tired of poor wages, long hours, and harsh treatment by their supervisors,.which triggers a restlessness and strike planning among them. The workers eventually revolt and do go on strike. Eisenstein's theory of the montage of shocks first appeared during this time. Eisenstein was the first to fully understand the value of using sudden shock images to get his point accross as drastically as possible. Eisenstein used the silence throughout the film to move our attention to the details in the movie and force the viewers to actually pay close attention instead of just subconsciously watching a film, (which is what usually happens to us today in regular films). I have found that this film is most famous for a part near the end of the movie where the violent suppression of the strike is cross cut with footage of all of the cattle being slaughtered. There are several other points in the movie where animals are used as metaphors for the conditions of various individuals, but the cattle is the most dramatic and exaggerated. Eisenstein created a brilliant phenomenon during his time, and his technique has been praised and copied over the years. I learned through this film, and many of our readings and assignments this past week in class that Images are more important than I ever realized, and we truly our visual and detail oriented learners.
The Maltese Falcon, written by Dashiell Hammett, is an action novel with many suspenseful twists and turns throughout the story. It was set back in the late 1920's in San Francisco, so life was fairly different back then compared to how we live now. It was far easier to get away with things back in those days, meaning that laws were not as strictly enforced.
This particular novel had many important characters that all played a major part in making the story as spectacular as it was. For example, we had Sam Spade (the main character) who was the main detective that I believed had a very dominating and powerful role. He lead the discovery of the murder and he always left us feeling like his intentions were a mystery.
Next we had Brigid (AKA Miss Wonderly) who was the manipulating, but yet beautiful woman who caused all the controversy and conflict in the novel.
Another main character was Miles Archer, who I felt had a very pathetic personality and he brought confusion and suspense into the story with his dysfunctional marriage and delusional outlook on life.
There are many other characters that added life to the story, including Effie Perine, Joel Cairo, and Casper Gutman, which all played a part in the murder or the finding of each scenario throughout the book.
The novel, The Maltese Falcon, had its fair share of suspense, violence, bribery, dishonesty, and terror. From trying to find the bird, to trying to detect the murder, to discovering Miles Archers dishonest love life, this story had plenty of cliff hangers and suspense to keep us readers interested throughout the entire story.
I can honestly say that I have read plenty of mystery stories, and many suspenseful novels, but it is easy to say that The Maltese Falcon topped them all as being the most intriguing and exciting novel of them all.
The movie we watched in class this week, Adaptation, really opened my eyes to see a different view on screenwriting, producing, and plot story lines. As easy as the movie Adaptation was to watch and follow along with, it still had many surprising twists and scenarios that us as viewers would not have expected to happen. For example, the character Susan Orlean created an imaginary intimate relationship and chemistry between her and the orchid lover, John Laroche. Also, the book and the movie both had two different plots, considering the book did not mention Laroche's attack from the alligator, but the movie is what let us know the "true?" ending. But, do we really know what really happened to John Laroche?
Movies like Adaptation are often portrayed as a mind game to the viewer because as soon as we feel like we are going to catch on to what is happening and figure out what the author is going to do, it then switches its course. Also, another thing I noticed was that Donald Kaufman, the brother of the screenwriter character Charlie Kaufman, was only in the film. This ties together the fact that John Laroche's death was not in the book either. It leaves us viewers wondering, and it made me believe that it may have just been two separate stories with similar plots.
Between the drugs, sexual scenarios, vulgar humor, and twisted story line, Adaptation is clearly an intriguing movie. A movie such as this can only be written and produced by people with great talent, because a film like Adaptation could get extremely confusing and somewhat hard to relate to as viewers. Overall, the film Adaptation was enlightening and a great brain workout.

Pet Adoptions
We are deeply committed to the health and well being of every pet, not just the pets in our care. That is why we work with local shelters to help lost and abandoned animals in our community find new homes.
It isn't just our hospital. The entire family of VCA Animal Hospitals works with shelters and humane societies across the United States to promote successful pet adoptions.

When you're ready to adopt, please consider adopting an animal from one of the shelters listed below. Together we can make sure your adopted pet has a long, healthy, and happy life.
Fauquier SPCA
