When considering the task of the Great Commission in light of the global plight, it is an overwhelming mission. If you've been watching the Arab Spring revolutions that have been devastating Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and Turkey recently you'll get a pretty stark picture of the human heart. In spite of these nations attempting to throw off tyranny and run after the freedom that other nations seem to enjoy, the fires of revolutions have primarily brought devastation, economic hardship, and instability to regions where the flames have kindled. In Syria alone, nearly 100,000 people have died in a quest that likely ends in greater bondage than what was originally thrown off. In addition, these countries reside in the 10/40 Window, an area known to be incredibly hostile to the influence Christianity. Thus, it is a place where the spiritual lives of its people is reflected in the landscape: dry, arid and dead. What hope does such a place have?
And yet dwelling on the woes of such an "obviously" troubled region can blind us to the deadness of our own country. If we turns their gaze to states closer to home, we realizes that even in places where freedom and tolerance are celebrated and embraced, in the "land of the free" itself, there is a very real deadness. People abuse their freedom to indulge in a number of unholy practices, and idolize people, ideas, and things rather than worshiping God. While this may be a land of plenty, it is all the more deadly for its apparent benignity. What hope does such a place have?
In the book of Ezekiel we, along with the prophet, are led to ask the same question. The people of Israel had been conquered, slaughtered and carried off to foreign lands to be slaves. They trusted in the idols and gods of the nations surrounding them and in their own might. They failed to uphold their end of the covenant with Yahweh. He removed his protection after the Israelites consistently rejected the grace God consistently offered. God had promised that they would be a nation forever, that they would be ruled by the line of David for eternity and yet they were scattered to the four winds. How would it be possible for them to regain the land? What hope do such a people have?
When God enters in to clarify the issue, it is not to alleviate Ezekiel's fears, but to confirm them. God begins by showing Ezekiel a vision of a valley of dry bones (If you haven't seen this depiction of it, go watch it, it's well worth the two minutes). The bones are "very dry," exceptionally lifeless even for bones, and they themselves cry out, "Our bones are dry, our hope has perished; We are cut off." God asks his prophet, "Son of Man, can these bones live?" In a sense, God asks Ezekiel, "What hope does such a place have?" Ezekiel, standing in the midst of the desolation of an entire nation, knows that there is no way that these bones can live. But he doesn't stop by just looking at the bones, he looks to the God who made the bones. He speaks to the Mighty One of Israel, and his reply demonstrates his faith and hope: "Oh Sovereign God, you alone know."
When considering the spiritual status of the world, we need to look beyond what is humanly possible. We need to look to the one who created us, because He and He alone knows whether spiritual life can come to a person or to a people.
Our hope is the same tremendous hope that was given to Ezekiel and the remnant of Israel. In the latter half of chapter 36 God promises spiritual life to his people beyond anything that they could have dared to imagine or hope for. They are promised holiness and cleanliness in place of their sin and idolatry. God promises to replace their hardened stone hearts with hearts of flesh. He promised to set his spirit on them, not for a short time, but perpetually and continually – to be in communion with God and to know in their hearts the way He would have for them. To drive the point home, God has Ezekiel walk among the bones and prophesy to them:
"Then he said to me, "Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord." [Ezekiel 37:4-6]
Miraculously, flesh covers bone. Sinews, tendons, muscles, organs and skin form where before there was only dust and death. God is replacing the hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. But there was not yet any breath in the bodies. "Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.'" In both passages, the word breath can also be translated spirit – thus God is placing his Sprit into the bodies he has caused to form. Then they rose and stood, an "exceedingly great army".
In these verses we see the impact that a person submitted to the will of God can have on the dead. God could have just formed flesh and breath and put them on the bones as he did in the beginning, without the help of Ezekiel. Instead, God graciously includes his servant in the process and allows him to be a source of physical awakening in the bones, and a spiritual awakening in the lives of the Israelites. The hope that these people have is a mighty God, who has provided a perfect sacrifice, priest, prophet and King to intercede at his right hand forever (see Hebrews, esp. 7:23-8:13). They also have the hope that God's prophets will see the nations' dead bones, and prophesy life to them. May we see dead people everywhere and seek to preach the hope of the Gospel to a dying world.

Pre-Opera Events. Free for ticket holders.
2:30pm En decouvrant Don Carlos (Discovering Don Carlos)
One of the most dramatic events in the history of operatic scholarship was Andrew Porter's discovery, in 1967, that dozens of pages of unknown music by the mature Verdi could be recovered from orchestral parts preserved at the Paris Opera. Mr. Porter returns to Caramoor to tell the story of this adventure in a panel discussion on the rediscovery of Don Carlos with Philip Gossett and Will Crutchfield.
3:30pm Pages inconnues (Unknown Pages)
Andrew Porter introduces the Caramoor Bel Canto Young Artists as they sing excerpts from the Don Carlos music Verdi later cut or revised – including some passages never before performed in public, such as a version of the last act that begins with Don Carlos (not Élisabeth) waiting alone at the Monastery of Yuste.
4:30pm Schiller dans le musique (Schiller in Music)
Friedrich Schiller was the dramatist to whom Verdi turned to more often than any other for operatic subjects, and his visionary idealism inspired dozens of other composers as well. Caramoor delved into this body of works in 2011 (when another Schiller opera, Guillaume Tell, was on the bill). This performance returns to that theme with a fresh program, this time emphasizing the Verdian connection.

'An Evening of Silent Film' series returns to USC
Internationally renowned silent-film accompanist Dennis James returns to Columbia Dec. 3 for an evening of silent film with live musical accompaniment.
The 7:30 p.m. performance is set for the University of South Carolinas School of Music recital hall and is free and open to the public.
James will perform with the film, "The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg," a witty, romantic comedy about love across the class divide, directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
Upon the film's release in 1927, a review in The New York Times noted that German-born Hollywood director Lubitsch "lives up to all that has been written about him. He may be a stylist, but he is one who does not choose to repeat on any of his past bright camera ideas. Yet the satirical shafts, the careful attention to telling details, the half-second notes and the keeping within certain bounds, inform the spectator, even though the name of Lubitsch was not emblazoned on the screen, that it is the master from Berlin who has directed this splendid shadow story."
This is the seventh in an annual series of "An Evening of Silent Film" screenings with live accompaniment by James, a visiting research fellow in USC's Film and Media Studies Program.
James tours internationally as a composer and musician specializing in historically, musically and cinematically informed scores for silent film. For more than 40 years, James has played a pivotal role in the international revival of silent films with live music. He tours worldwide and has played such venues as the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, The Louvre in Paris and across Asia.
The series is hosted by USC's Film and Media Studies Program with generous sponsorship from the School of Music and the College of Arts and Sciences.

Herald staff
EVERETT — Police are investigating a report by an Everett High School student who says someone tried to abduct her on her way to class Monday morning.
The girl told police she was walking to class around 8:05 a.m. near the 2300 block of Wetmore Avenue when a man stopped his car next to her and asked her if she wanted a ride, Everett police officer Aaron Snell said.
She told police she said "No thanks" and continued walking.
A few seconds later, the student reported feeling someone grab her arm and realized the same man was pulling her toward his vehicle, Snell said. The girl told police that she struggled and pulled free and then ran to school and immediately reported the incident.
Officers searched the area but didn't find anyone matching the description the girl provided.
She said the man who grabbed her was black, in his 20s, about 6 feet tall, heavy set and moustached. The girl said he was wearing a plaid shirt and driving an older tan four-door sedan.
The student was not physically injured, Snell said.
The Everett School District sent an email letter to parents Monday morning that described the incident. The district also provided several safety tips.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Everett Police Department tip line at 425-257-8450.
The school district said students always should tell family members where they are going and when they expect to arrive. They also should walk or ride bikes in pairs or groups and never hesitate about asking a responsible adult for help.
District officials also urge students to be alert of their surroundings and to not wear headphones or to text while walking.

From time to time it\'s time to talk together.
I thought that you might want to hear what happend within the last 4 months.
So I will give you the actual state of my work.
Since several months I focus completly on ZF2 development.
This means on the other hand that all new features and changes are instantly available for the next major release and must not be reworked.
When you want to follow me simply watch my github repository: https://github.com/thomasweidner
Actually I worked on fixing several small issues. Those are for example:
I added handling for floats within the Null filter. This has been missing in past.
Zend_Filter_Alnum/Alpha and EmailAdress had public variables. This has changed in favor of accessor methods to provide consistency to the other filters.
Now Zend_Translator can be used in phar libraries.
And auto-routing has been added. The users browser settings are used as routing information.
GreaterThan and LowerThan can now handle equal numbers.
IP can now handle hex, octal and binary noted IP adresses.
Behind the scene I am working on V2. It's a complete rewrite of all locale classes.
Those are just a few examples.
In sum there are more than 80 issues which have been worked on and fixed since april.
Still much work to do.
Feel free to contact me directly when you think that an issue is missing or should be done first or also when you want to me to write about something in detail in my blog.
For coding help please contact the mailing list.

Using GIT with Zend Studio
- Posted by thomasw at 20:42:45 // //
- Zend Framework, Other
Hy fellows,
in one of my last posts I described how to use GIT under Windows.
Now as Zend released Zend Studio 8 and ZF migrates to GIT with the next major release it's time so see how those can be matched to work together. Note that this is not fixed to Windows but should work regardless of the use OS in any environment.
What do you need to start?
I assume that you already have a working GITHUB repository as described in the last post.
Then you need a installed version of Zend Studio 8 or newer.
Installing GIT
Now you need to make your Zend Studio aware of GIT. Therefor we need to install EGit. EGit is a module for Eclipse which makes Zend Studio (which is based on Eclipse) understand GIT and provides several tools for working with GIT.
- To install EGit open Zend Studio
- Click "Help"
- Click "Install New Software…"
- Click "Add…"
- Enter "EGit" as "Name"
- Enter "http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates" as "Location"
- Select all modules by clicking "Select all" (you could omit the two moduls only containing "Source" if wished)
- Click "Next" until you see the license agreements
- Click "Agree" on all license agreements (of course read the agreements before you agree)
- At last click "Finish"
Now EGit will be installed within Zend Studio. As last step you will need to restart Zend Studio (if it is not done automatically).
Security preparations
When you already used GIT you will know that it needs RSA keys. So our next step is to make new keys which will be used within Zend Studio to commit to GITHUB.
- Open Zend Studio
- Click "Window"
- Click "Preferences"
- Expand "General"
- Expand "Network Connections"
- Open "SSH2"
- Go to the tab "Key Management"
Now you can eighter use an existing key or add a new one.
To load an existing key:
- Click "Load Existing Key…"
- Within the explorer window go to the directory where you stored the existing key for GITHUB and select it
- Enter the "Passphrase" when your key needs a passphrase
- Confirm the "Passphrase" when your key needs a passprase
- Click "OK"
It is preferred to make a new key instead of loading an existing one. Therefor:
- Click "Generate RSA Key…"
- Leave the passphrase empty (this simplifies the later handling)
- Click "Save Private Key…"
- Click "OK" to confirm that you want no passphrase
- Within the explorer window go to the directory where you want to store your keys
- Click "OK"
- Click "OK" once more
- Open GITHUB within your Internet Browser and login to your account
- Click "Account Settings…"
- Click "Public SSH Keys…"
- Click "Add another public key…"
- Enter "Zend Studio" as Title
- Copy the public key which you can see within Zend Studio as key into GitHub
- Click "Add Key…"
At last, regardless is you added an existing or created a new key, click "OK" within Zend Studio to close the preferences window and save the settings. You have successfully prepared Zend Studio to be used with your GitHub account.
Connecting to GitHub
The next step is to connect our GITHUB account to Zend Studio.
- Open Zend Studio
- Click "File"
- Click "Import…"
- Now expand "GIT"
- Select "Projects from GIT"
- Click "Next"
- Click "Clone…"
- Open a Internet Browser and login to your GITHUB account
- Click your ZF2 repository
- Click"HTTP" (it is near SSH, HTTP…)
- Copy the link which is shown (should look like "https://email@example.com…." into your clipboard
- Copy the link from your clipboard into "URI" within the opened Zend Studio tab
- Enter your GITHUB password within "Password"
- Click "Next"
- Click "Next" once more to add all branches
- Enter the directory into "Directory" where you want to store the local repo (this should be an empty/new directory)
- Click "Finish"
This step will take several minutes as it now copies your remote repository to your local drive.
We're done. You have successfully connected your GIT repository with Zend Studio.
You can now do your complete work from within Zend Studio. It supports all needed tools. Some of these tasks I will describe now:
Create a new branch
To create a new branch do the following:
- Right-Click your project
- Click "Team"
- And then click "Branch…"
- Click "New Branch…"
- Enter the name of the new branch to "Branch Name…"
- Select "Rebase" (with "None" you will not be able to commit your changes to your GitHub account)
- Click "Finish"
Now you're working within a new created branch.
Keep in mind to use the proper naming convention.
"hotfix/ZFxxxx" for quick fixes and "feature/XXXX" for new features. Always use "ZFxxxx" when there is a related issue within Jira.
Committing changes
Committing your changes is also quite simple:
- Right-Click your project
- Click "Team"
- Click "Commit"
- Enter a note about what you're committing within "Commit Message…"
I always use notes like this:
[feature/MyFeature] - changed something - another change
- Select the files which you want to commit
- Click "Finish"
Now your change is stored in your local repository. To send your changes to your GITHUB repository you need to do the following:
- Right-Click your project
- Click "Team"
- Click "Push to Upstream"
- Click "OK"
At last your changes are also available within your GITHUB repository.
To have your change integrated within ZF2 you need to make a "Pull-Request" from your GITHUB repository.
The above description does not only work for Zend Framework but can also be used for other projects.
I hope you find this post interesting so I wish you a good work and have fun with GIT.

Zend_Locale 2.0
- Posted by thomasw at 22:57:59 // //
- Zend Framework, Announcements, I18N, Locale
Hy fellows,
first I want to wish you all a good start into this new decade.
Then I wanted to inform you about some news for Zend Framework.
Within the last days I began a complete rework of the I18n core for ZF.
The first class which will be reworked is Zend_Locale as it's the base class for I18n within ZF.
The following changes will be done for Zend Locale 2.0:
CLDR update to 1.9
This integrates the most actual locale database within ZF
Usage of a fallback locale
This locale can be set and used as fallback when the wished locale is not supported
Usage of a fixed locale
This locale can be set and will be used regardless of any other locale which the accessing user wants
This removes the workaround from Zend_Application
Add locale providers as base
This allows to use other locale providers than CLDR
This will remove Zend_Locale_Format and integrate it into the used provider
Rework CLDR to be a provider
Add INTL as new provider
This allows to use INTL when available alone or in combination with CLDR because the INTL extension does not provide all informations like CLDR
Add a way to upgrade a locale
This would allow to provide informations for language locales when no region was given (f.e. when a user gives 'en' and wants to have informations from a region (f.e. currency))
Add script support
This allows to use locales which provide several scripts within the same language like Azerbaijani, English or Hausa.
That's the actual plan for Zend_Locale 2.0 and will be the base for all other reworks.
Please note that all spoken will be done within Zend Framework 2.0 and not be migrated to 1.x.

WATCH: New Zealand Haka Dance Draws Humorous Reactions From Team USA
Listen to Yahoo! Sports Minute on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) The New Zealand national rugby team has been performing the Haka for over a century. Known as the All Blacks, the squad has carried out the traditional Maori dance that features yelling, stomping feet and, yes, tongues sticking out since 1905. In recent years, other Kiwi teams have participated in the ritual, including the national basketball team. Such was the case Tuesday in a matchup with Team USA during the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The reactions by several NBA stars, including Derrick Rose, James Harden and Kenneth Faried were priceless. Rose looked baffled. As did Harden, whose blank stare was noted on Twitter.
The face of Harden watching the New Zealand Haka pic.twitter.com/yHSjTRlIxB

Faried raised an eyebrow. As for the game itself, the American were not intimidated by the Haka, winning 98-71. But, oh those expressions.

Wuthering Heightsby Emily Brontë
Classic novel of consuming passions, played out against the lonely moors of northern England, recounts the turbulent and tempestuous love story of Cathy and Heathcliff. A masterpiece of imaginative fiction, the story remains as poignant and compelling today as it was when first published in 1847.

Editorial Reviews
Gr 7 Up
This audio version of Emily Bronte's classic is narrated by Ann Flosnik. Initially, her narration makes it difficult to distinguish between characters, but as the tale progresses, her vocal characterizations become more dramatic and unique for each character, drawing listeners deeper and deeper into this dark and brooding love story. The first disk of the set also contains a PDF ebook of the full text of the novel which can be downloaded. Some students will want to read along with the narrated version, while others can use the ebook as a reference tool for class assignments. A nice addition to classic literature collections and a good way to enhance the English curriculum.-Anita Lawson, Otsego High School, Otsego, MI

Read an Excerpt
I have just returned from a visit to my landlord--the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A perfect misanthropist's heaven; and Mr. Heathcliff and I are such a suitable pair to divide the desolation between us. A capital fellow! He little imagined how my heart warmed towards him when I beheld his black eyes withdraw so suspiciously under their brows, as I rode up, and when his fingers sheltered themselves, with a jealous resolution, still further in his waistcoat, as I announced my name.
"Mr. Heathcliff?" I said.
A nod was the answer.
"Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts--"
"Thrushcross Grange is my own, sir," he interrupted, wincing. "I should not allow any one to inconvenience me, if I could hinder it--walk in!"
The "walk in" was uttered with closed teeth, and expressed the sentiment, "Go to the deuce": even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathizing movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself.
When he saw my horse's breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered thecourt--"Joseph, take Mr. Lockwood's horse; and bring up some wine."
"Here we have the whole establishment of domestics, I suppose," was the reflection suggested by this compound order. "No wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge-cutters."
Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man: very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy. "The Lord help us!" he soliloquised in an undertone of peevish displeasure, while relieving me of my horse: looking, meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner, and his pious ejaculation had no reference to my unexpected advent.
Wuthering Heights is the name of Mr. Heathcliff's dwelling. "Wuthering" being a significant provincial adjective, descriptive of the atmospheric tumult to which its station is exposed in stormy weather. Pure, bracing ventilation they must have up there at all times, indeed: one may guess the power of the north wind blowing over the edge, by the excessive slant of a few stunted firs at the end of the house; and by a range of gaunt thorns all stretching their limbs one way, as if craving alms of the sun. Happily the architect had foresight to build it strong: the narrow windows are deeply set in the wall, and the corners defended with large jutting stones.
Before passing the threshold, I paused to admire a quantity of grotesque carving lavished over the front, and especially about the principal door; above which, among a wilderness of crumbling griffins and shameless little boys, I detected the date "1500," and the name "Hareton Earnshaw." I would have made a few comments, and requested a short history of the place from the surly owner; but his attitude at the door appeared to demand my speedy entrance, or complete departure, and I had no desire to aggravate his impatience previous to inspecting the penetralium.
One step brought us into the family sitting-room, without any introductory lobby or passage. They call it here "the house" pre-eminently. It includes kitchen and parlour, generally; but I believe at Wuthering Heights the kitchen is forced to retreat altogether into another quarter: at least I distinguished a chatter of tongues, and a clatter of culinary utensils, deep within; and I observed no signs of roasting, boiling, or baking, about the huge fireplace; nor any glitter of copper saucepans and tin cullenders on the walls. One end, indeed, reflected splendidly both light and heat from ranks of immense pewter dishes, interspersed with silver jugs and tankards, towering row after row, on a vast oak dresser, to the very roof. The latter had never been underdrawn: its entire anatomy lay bare to an inquiring eye, except where a frame of wood laden with oatcakes and clusters of legs of beef, mutton, and ham concealed it. Above the chimney were sundry villainous old guns and a couple of horse-pistols: and, by way of ornament, three gaudily painted canisters disposed along its ledge. The floor was of smooth, white stone; the chairs, high-backed, primitive structures, painted green: one or two heavy black ones lurking in the shade. In an arch under the dresser reposed a huge liver-coloured bitch pointer, surrounded by a swarm of squealing puppies; and other dogs haunted other recesses.
The apartment and furniture would have been nothing extraordinary as belonging to a homely, northern farmer, with a stubborn countenance and stalwart limbs set out to advantage in knee-breeches and gaiters. Such an individual seated in his armchair, his mug of ale frothing on the round table before him, is to be seen in any circuit of five or six miles among these hills, if you go at the right time after dinner. But Mr. Heathcliff forms a singular contrast to his abode and style of living. He is a dark-skinned gipsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman: that is, as much a gentleman as many a country squire: rather slovenly, perhaps, yet not looking amiss with his negligence, because he has an erect and handsome figure; and rather morose. Possibly, some people might suspect him of a degree of underbred pride; I have a sympathetic chord within that tells me it is nothing of the sort: I know, by instinct, his reserve springs from an aversion to showy displays of feeling--to manifestations of mutual kindliness. He'll love and hate equally under cover, and esteem it a species of impertinence to be loved or hated again. No, I'm running on too fast: I bestow my own attributes over liberally on him. Mr. Heathcliff may have entirely dissimilar reasons for keeping his hand out of the way when he meets a would-be acquaintance, to those which actuate me. Let me hope my constitution is almost peculiar: my dear mother used to say I should never have a comfortable home; and only last summer I proved myself perfectly unworthy of one.

I decided to read this book after I saw it mentioned several times throughout the 'Twilight Series' by Stephenie Meyer. In the book 'Eclipse', Bella compared herself to the character of Catherine and being that I had never read 'Wuthering Heights' I thought I would give it a go. I'll have to admit that it was hard to read at times because the language back then was so different yet beautiful as well. I could definitely see similarities between the love triangle that exists between Catherine, Heathcliff, and Edgar compared to that of Bella, Edward, and Jacob in 'Twilight'. I think it was a good story and I'm glad that I did read it because now I can go back through the 'Twilight' books and know what Bella means when she mentions the different characters from the story. Good stuff...
To read this novel is to succumb to a world that is strange and beautiful and cruel and mesmerizing. It reads like a dream written in poetry. It is not an easy read, but it is well worth the effort it takes to understand its complex structure, psychologically nuanced characters, and rich language. It's reputation as a love story is misleading. It is a story of love in all of its complex manifestations but not the romantic love of pulp fiction. The love Bronte refers to is love that is ambivalent, sadistic, obsessive, and, literally, maddening. Wuthering Heights is a true work of art that deserves to be read and re-read.
I'm generally not interested in the 'classic' genre and I was expecting a really slow start to Wuthering Heights, because that is what I discovered with reading Jane Eyre (I do understand that they are written by two different authors but I had expected their literary styles to be similar because the sisters were so close to each other). When I read the book for school over the summer, I was delighted to find the story fast paced, interesting, and simple yet still powerful. The intense, complex, (and somewhat boring) conversations that took place in Jane Eyre are absent from Wuthering Heights. The deeper meaning in the story is instead found more within the characters' actions, and relationships with one another. I found the characters loveable and memorable, though some of them were a little twisted.
All of my life, I had heard of the dark novel, Wuthering Heights. I had read reviews describing its complicated twists, evil characters, and intense plots. After years of putting it off, I bought it, not giving myself the chance to look back at the Classics section on my way out. I decided it was time. Cautiously opening the first page, I prepared myself. I prepared myself for a long, complicated, sometimes scary read. What I got was a hurricane of emotions that I believe every human being is capable of. Not only was it an absorbing, fascinating read, but it was a revelation. I realized for the first time in my life that every human has a dark side that he keeps hidden in the chambers of his heart. Yet what if we, the human race, were to let our emotions rule us? What if our passions were portrayed for all the world to see? I imagine that is what Emily Bronte had in mind when she first envisioned this novel, her soul masterpiece. She exposed the human race as it really is: Warm, Passionate, Tempestuous, Melancholy, and sometimes a bit Playful.
I actually got into this book by Stephanie Meyer's 'Twilight' series because they mentioned it a lot in those books. Im extrememly glad I did take the time to read this book though because it was fanominal. It's your classic love story, with a twist of evil you didn't think possible from one person [that person being Heathcliff]. The old english talk can get confusing, so it's definately one for the older readers. All and all, it's one of my all-time favorite books.
I am really passionate about Wuthering Heights. After reading it in 10th grade, it's been my favorite romance novel. It's so intensely intense. I actually don't have this version of the book, I have the Norton edition, but I really like this cover. To sum up Wuthering Heights in a sentence, it's a novel that tells the story of two people, Catherine and Heathcliff, who are fiercely, and almost violently, in love with each other but can't truly, physically be together until they are in the grave. It's simply phenomenal!
This is a great book, however, this version is sprinkled with typos. For example, every time there is an apostrophe followed by two "L"s, it comes out as an eleven. I.e., "We'll" becomes "We'11," etc. It's not exactly a deal breaker, given that it's a free copy. It does get a little taxing to try to figure out each typographical error.
i'v heard much about this book from many people,decided to finally read it. had a hard time keeping names straight and who's who. and who was the strory teller. once i finally caught on to how the book was written i enjoyed it the whole time. i didnt want to put it down. i cant believe how much drama was put into one book. i think i will read it again soon. it wont be a disapointment to anyone reading it.
I had a love/hate thing with this book. It's really weird but I want to read it again.

Clinical research is research conducted with human subjects, or material of human origin, in which the researcher directly interacts with human subjects. Clinical research helps doctors and researchers to find new and better ways to understand, detect, control, and treat illness. A clinical research study is a way to find answers to difficult scientific or health questions. For example, the study might explore the best ways to treat people with colon cancer. By studying cancer cells from patients, researchers may be able to determine the specific genetic mutations (changes in gene sequence) that caused the normal, healthy cells to become cancerous, and may help doctors decide on the best drugs to prescribe or surgeries to perform. Clinical research today may help other doctors in the future screen their healthy patients before they ever develop cancer.
All clinical studies are based on a set of rules or directions called a protocol. A protocol describes what types of people are eligible to participate in the study; determines the schedule of tests, procedures, medications, and dosages; and sets the length of the study.
If a clinical research study involves testing or studying a drug or medical device to see if it is a safe and effective treatment for people, it is called a "trial." For example, a clinical trial may test the effectiveness of a new drug for treating Parkinson's disease.
Many new medicines and drugs are found to work in the researcher's lab, and to be safe and effective in animal tests. But drugs and devices must be proven to be safe and effective for people before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can approve them and doctors can prescribe them to patients. The FDA has strict rules that govern how clinical trials are conducted. These rules are designed to ensure the safety of those who participate.
Clinical trials of experimental drugs proceed through four phases:
In Phase I clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment for the first time in a small group of normal, healthy volunteers (about 20 to 80) to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase II clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (about 100 to 300), including patients with the particular disease, to see if the drug or treatment is effective, and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase III clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (from 1,000 to 3,000), including patients, to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to other commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase IV clinical trials are done after the drug or treatment has been approved by the FDA and marketed for public use. These studies continue testing the drug or treatment to collect information about its effect in various populations and gather data on any side effects associated with long-term use.
In many clinical trials, one group of patients will be given an experimental drug or treatment, while a control group is given either a standard treatment for the illness, or a placebo (a harmless "fake" drug), or no treatment at all.
In a "blinded" or "masked" study, participants do not know whether they are getting the drug being tested, or whether they are in the control group. The goal is to prevent the so-called "placebo effect" from influencing the results of the experiment. The placebo effect is the phenomenon of patients feeling better simply because they think they are receiving a helpful drug or treatment.
Sometimes, clinical trials are "double-blind" or "double-masked." That means that neither the participants, nor the study staff members, know who is receiving the experimental drug and who is in the control group. Studies are performed in this way so that neither the patients' nor the doctors' expectations about the experimental drug can influence the observations and results.
Clinical research is a vital part of finding new treatments and cures for diseases. Carefully conducted clinical studies are the fastest way to find treatments that are safe and effective. By volunteering for a clinical study, you would be participating in research that may result in a new treatment for a deadly or debilitating disease.
Before you agree to participate in a study, you must be given complete information about the study, known as "informed consent." Informed consent involves two essential components: a document and a process. The informed consent document gives a summary of the research project (including the study's purpose, research procedures, potential benefits and risks, etc.) and explains the individual's rights as a research participant. This document is part of an informed consent process, which consists of conversations between the research team and the participant, and may include other supporting material such as study brochures. The informed consent process provides research participants with ongoing explanations that will help them make informed decisions about whether to begin or continue participating in the research project (See: Informed Consent for Genomics Research). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides details about informed consent with the information page: Informed Consent for Clinical Trials [fda.gov].
Because participating in a clinical study is an important decision, there are many questions that you should consider before agreeing to participate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have prepared a list of questions to help you get the information you need to make a decision about participating: Taking Part in Research Studies: What Questions Should You Ask? [cdc.gov].
Clinical researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) are developing advanced methods for studying the fundamental mechanisms of inherited and acquired genetic disorders. Their goals include both discovering the molecular basis of human genetic diseases, and creating new technologies to accelerate further genetic research.
NHGRI investigators are working to uncover the genetic components of common disorders such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, as well as less common conditions such as Marfan syndrome (Learning About Marfan Syndrome) and neurofibromatosis (Learning About Neurofibromatosis).
To this end, NHGRI scientists often study families with a history of inherited diseases. This helps to unravel the complex roles that multiple genes and environmental factors play in disease. Such studies will enable the development of effective and reliable gene-based diagnostic tests, and can lay the foundation for genetic treatments.

What system and VM package are you using? (i.e. Windows 7 with VMPlayer...)
Hi !
Thanks for this sexy-looking release !
I´m using it in VM-Ware Fusion and noticed, that VM-Ware-Tools seem not to
be installed. I tried to do it, gunzipped and untared the package, but the
vmware-install.py is giving me an error.
Is it necessary to install VMWARE-TOOLS ?
If so, how ?

Some Secrets of the Qur'an
There is Surely Ease with Every Difficulty
God has created the world to test mankind. As an inherent feature of this examination, He tests man sometimes with blessings and at other times with hardships. People who do not evaluate events in the light of the Qur'an, fail to give the appropriate interpretation to events, and become downhearted and fall into hopelessness. However, God reveals an important secret in the Qur'an, which only true and submissive believers can perceive. This secret is revealed as follows:
As God informs us in these verses, no matter what sort of adversity a person experiences or how a situation is overcome, God creates a path that will lead to a way out and gives relief to believers. Indeed, a believer will witness that God grants ease along with all hardships if he remains steadfast in his patience. In other verses, God has given the good news of guidance and blessings to His servants who have fear for Him:
God does not place a burden greater than one can bear
God, the Merciful, Compassionate and Just, creates ease in everything and tests people within the limits of their strength. Forms of prayers God commands man to perform, difficulties He creates to test him, responsibilities that He charges man with are all in proportion to his individual capabilities. This is a good news and comfort to believers, and a manifestation of God's mercy and grace. God relates this secret in verses as follows:
It is easy to live by God's religion
A great majority of people think that religion will make their lives difficult and impose on them hard obligations. This is a delusion that Satan whispers to man to lead him astray. As mentioned earlier, religion is easy. God states that He wills ease for believing people after difficulties. Besides this, the fundamentals of religion such as putting trust in God and having an understanding of fate, removes all burdens, difficulties and causes of distress or sorrow. For a person who lives by God's religion, there is no distress, sorrow or despair. In many verses, God promises to support those who submit themselves to Him and who help His religion, and to give them a good life both in this world and in the hereafter. Our Lord, Who never breaks His word, states as follows:
God gives the good news to believers that He will render those who comply with His religion successful:
As these secrets reveal, one who sincerely turns towards God's religion has chosen right from the beginning, a path of ease that will bring success and benefit both in this world and in the hereafter. To disbelievers, on the other hand, just the opposite applies. Disbelievers already have a life filled with sorrow, sadness and loss both in this world and in the hereafter. At the moment they decided on disbelief, they lose both the world and the hereafter. This is related in verses as follows:
God is the Possessor and Creator of everything. It is surely above and over any power or support for a person to earn God's friendship, aid and support. The one who takes God as his friend and submits fully to Him will live, both in the world and in the hereafter, in bounty and blessings, and no hurt will come to him from any source. This is an immutable fact. Since this is the case, every man of wisdom and conscience should comprehend these secrets revealed in the Qur'an and choose the wise and correct path. That disbelievers cannot understand these clear facts is another secret by itself. No matter how intelligent or well-educated they are, they do not use their reason so they are unable to understand and see these facts.

1:30p - 3:30p - DANCING TO RAI
Rai music is a popular genre of world music from the Northern African country of Algeria. Rai is pronounced "rye" or "rah-AY" and translates as "opinion". Rai music began in the late 1980s as a combination of popular music and traditional Bedouin desert music. Rai in the 1980s: when artists such as Ahmad Baba Rachid blended traditional Rai with modern pop sounds.
The tonal and instrumental influences of traditional Bedouin music, not to mention cultural and religious influences, are really a keystone of the Raï music genre. Rai lyrics are often somewhat bawdy and blunt, describing both the pain and joy of daily life. They are usually in Algerian Arabic and French. Translations of Rai songs often read much like lyrics that many would associate with American blues. Many Raï singers such as Khaled, Cheb Mami, live in France Many people are unknowingly familiar with the sounds of Rai, as Sting (formerly of classic rock band The Police) utilized the vocal stylings of Rai star Cheb Mami on his album Brand New Day, and Mami's work was particularly notable on the song "Desert Rose".
For Algerians RAI means 'opinion' or 'advice' but also embodies the concept of freedom of opinion. Rai music and dance are based on improvisation. Like 'Ya Leyl' in Egyptian music, the term Rai became one kind of 'stop-gap' when the singer lost the inspiration in his poetry.
Rai dance has the fluidity and the sensuality of Arabic- Andalusian roots, the strength and energy of the mythical Berber priestess, the earthiness of the African soul ,the inspiration of the Sahara-desert and the expression of the great Mediterranean seaport Wahran.
Amel TAFSOUT will teach a choreography and invite the students to improvise to the music. She also will give a background about the different Rai styles.

Sunday, June 2
11a - 12:30p BERBER SHIMMIES
This fertility dance comes from the North-Eastern Algerian Mountains of the 'Kabylie' and is performed with a long scarf while the dancer is doing very small and fast hip movements.The shimmy and the trembling movements are related to pregnancy and fertility, because they help the woman to give birth without to much pain.It is a very hearthy and proud dance. Traditional Berber dances are mostly ritual in nature. The dance is both a public and personal expression, rich in symbolic dimensions that deal with subjects such as the fertility of Mother Earth, the rites of marriage and birth, and the communication between the earthly and the Divine. The Kabyle Berber dances are drawn from this rich colorful dance tradition that has been sustained by the unveiled, earthy, powerful and proud women of the Kabylia.
1p-4p - SUFISM:BREATHING, MOVEMENT & HEALING
In Algeria it still is possible for women to meet one afternoon in order to release their problems, fairs, anxieties and frustrations in the dance.
"Dancing is not rising to your feet painlessly
like a speck of dust blown around in the wind
Dancing is when you rise above worlds
tearing your heart into pieces and giving up your soul."
"Dance is the movement of those who try to shed off their earthbound bodily garb to leave the material centre of gravitation and to be drawn into a loftier, spiritual world; of those who leave the realm of confused everyday movements to whirl around the spiritual sun like dust motes, like atoms; of those who join the movement of the blessed in Paradise,...." -Annemarie Shimmel
This workshop is for people who have some knowledge about dance as a healing form and who are open to go in a spiritual journey.
For those who want to stick around...

Who is AMEL TAFSOUT???
The legendary Amel Tafsout, meaning 'Hopes of Spring', is an inspirational first source master dance artist, choreographer, instructor, frame drummer singer and one of the finest exponents of North African traditional and contemporary Maghreb Dance of our time. With two M.A degrees in Sociolinguistics and Romance languages, a research in dance anthropology, and a long training in various healing practices, Tafsout's knowledge of her culture and her experience in many dance styles and music make her very unique.
Raised in Algeria among the finest traditional dancers and musicians, Tafsout was fascinated by dance and music since childhood. In her early twenties, Tafsout moved to Germany where she founded the Pan Arabic dance company 'Banat As Sahra'. In the late 80s, she moved to London, U.K. where she taught and performed at various dance and music festivals and founded 'The Tafsoutettes' Dance Company. While currently living in the U.S.A. she is still performing and teaching worldwide.
Tafsout is like a voyager between countries, culture and languages. Having worked and lived all over the world, unsurprisingly, migration has been a constant theme in her work. Fluent in 5 languages, she is always aware of the impact that cultures have in art and how that can be expressed in dance.
Amel has lectured, danced, taught, sung and conducted anthropological research in many countries. She has been featured in various TV programs in Europe and North Africa. She also published many articles related to dance and Maghreb women in academic and popular magazines. Her research focuses on the Ritual in Maghreb dances as well as looking at dance as a healing form. She explores the rich tapestry of movement and rhythm that has woven over time between Spain and the Maghreb, Africa and the Middle East, the Mediterranean Sea and Europe.
She had mesmerized audiences around the world with the earthy fluidity of her dance, her expression, her stunning stage presence and great spirituality

Hi all, got some weird issues. I was using and enjoying Neon (official repo) with 10.1 but decided to go to the nightlies of XBMC and Neon SVN from passion-repo only a couple days ago. I seem to be having a strange problem with the Recently Added. Even after deleting %appdata\XBMC and uninstalling XBMC and doing fresh reinstalls twice, the problem is still there. I've supplied some screenshots, I can't figure it out!
Note: Its the same with "Use Large Recently Added for Movies/TV" checked.
If I see correctly from the current Neon screenshots sticky it should be just like it is in the official repo, 3 posters that are scrollable.
Recently Added Movies
Recently Added TV
Also, should that Recent for Settings be there?
And my TV shows won't scroll past a certain point if going by page with the right scrollbar. If I scroll in the actual list 1 by 1 (fast or slow) it will go to the bottom.
Bonus: Slow fades between Recently Addeds (Wasn't sure if that was a bug as well)
(Showing the Zookeeper fanart still after flipping to TV Show)
I'm sorry if I should've split up these questions, just figured I'd keep it organized within one thread.
I absolute love this skin! Thank you for all the hard work. Its the perfect addition to my living room setup and a breeze for everyone in the house to use. Thank you!

And the problem is? Recently Added has undergone a complete remake since the official repo version. I've also just pushed an update to fix the highlight/selected item colors and some text positioning.
Next up will be to work with Ronnie's new script...

lol ok. Thank you for the fast reply! Personally I liked the old one but I, like most people, don't do well with change. I hated Windows 95 when they introduced the start menu and did away with Program Manager. I'll definitely get used to it and look forward to future updates, thank you for the fantastic skin!
I'll try the push! If the selection colors are fixed that will help fix a lot of the confusion. Thanks again!!!!

As a part of our annual Girls' Issue, we asked the best female surfers in the world questions that few would dare to ask. Can you believe someone once called sweet little Coco the "C" word and that she beat Clay Marzo in a heat when they were groms? Read on young grasshopper…
What's the funniest or worst swimsuit malfunction you've ever had?
I have to say the bottom turn at Snapper Rocks kind of killed me this year.
Bottom turn shots?
Yeah, Snapper, because it's so close to the beach everyone sees everything!
Too much information?
[Laughs] Yeah I was like 'I'm going to wear bigger bottoms.' You don't know really until you see the pictures and then your like 'holy shit!'
Do you think the top woman could win a Men's WQS 4 Star?
Heck yeah!
Is having a girl compete in a men's event good or bad for surfing?
I've never really done it. Well, I did when I was a kid and I beat Clay Marzo. I don't really see the point though.
Do the top girls get paid more than the bottom guys on the World Tour?
Yeah, I think so. Sorry boys.
What's the stupidest and/or meanest thing a guy has ever said to you in the water?
I got called the "C" word out at Winkipop.
Harsh! That guy's lucky your Dad wasn't out there with you that day.
Yeah and then he was all bummed because I called him a kook.
Have you ever used your body to distract a guy in the lineup in order to get a wave?
[Laughs] I always think about that when I crank up my bottoms but I don't know if it's ever really worked or not.
What's the biggest board you own?
6'8". I have Mason's boards if I ever need bigger.
How do viral videos of surfer girls dancing in their underwear affect the sport?
Are you talking about us? Because we weren't in our underwear!
Okay, in their bikinis.
I don't know. We got so much publicity out of that and so many comments about how it's changing women's surfing. But I don't know, I feel like it's nothing new—we do that everyday. To get the reaction that we did out of it was really weird. I was like, 'Wait we have like ten of these videos!' It shows everyone's true colors and personalities and how close we all are.
That's awesome. Yeah, you guys have like 100,000 views from that clip alone.
Yeah, my blog alone got like 170 comments in Portuguese. It's crazy!
FYI this next question is pretty funny, but a lot of guys want to know this stuff: Is it hard to surf with boobs?
No, they've never really gotten in my way. You might have to ask Lisa [Andersen] that question.
What is your biggest fear as a surfer?
I think life after the World Tour is pretty scary to think about.
Like what you're going to do for work and stuff?
You're going to have to get a job!
Totally! I've seen a lot of people go through it lately and it's scary.
Another weird question—Is there really a worry to surf sharky areas while it's your time of the month?
No, I don't think it's as if I got cut, or at least that's what I tell myself.
Yeah Laura Enever said that you guys googled it.
If I don't want to surf and the photographer is being annoying, I definitely use it as an excuse.
Well now you just ruined your excuse!
I know. I do it to Jason Kenworthy [Nike photog] all the time.
Who will be the next pro surfer to pose for Playboy?
[Laughs] Laura Enever!

GSA Unveils FirstGov en Español Web Portal

GSA # 10048 firstname.lastname@example.com
GSA Unveils FirstGov en Español Web Portal
Spanish-Language Gateway Continues President's Push for Citizen-Centered Government
WASHINGTON, D.C. – FirstGov.gov, the U.S. government's official Web portal, has developed FirstGov en Español, www.espanol.gov, a new Spanish-language Web site to meet the needs and preferences of the 28.1 million Spanish-speaking
residents in the United States.
The FirstGov.gov and FirstGov en Español portals are managed by the U.S. General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services and Communications.
"President Bush, through his E-gov initiative, challenged the government to employ the latest in technology to create a more efficient, citizen-centered, federal government," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry, announcing the formal launch of the site. "FirstGov en Español is yet another example of making it easier for the public to interact with federal government agencies."
A fundamental tenet of President Bush's E-Gov Initiative is making the government more accessible to citizens and FirstGov en Español fills that role for an important segment of the population. FirstGov en Español makes it easy to
access tens of thousands of federal and state Spanish-language Web pages. One click on www.espanol.gov (FirstGov en Español) and all government Spanish language sites are instantly available, making FirstGov en Español one of a kind.
As a gateway to all federal and state Web pages written in Spanish, FirstGov en Español connects the U.S. Spanish-speaking population with information on a vast range of topics such as health, education, housing, and benefits to questions about citizenship and voting. Visitors to FirstGov en Español can also perform various online
transactions, all in Spanish. They can also choose to phone in or email questions, all answered in Spanish. FirstGov en Español will work with federal agencies to expand access to programs and services that serve the Spanish-speaking community.
At FirstGov.gov or www.espanol.gov, visitors gain easy and convenient access to information about their government. In addition, the portals link to online services available from federal, state, and local government Web sites ranging from Social Security benefits and passport applications to buying stamps and applying for student loans.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 13,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in more than 8,000 government-owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

Reviews forSlow-Cooked Stuffed Peppers
My Review
Average Rating
"These were great, will be making them again."
"Made this tonight for dinner. I used regular long grain white rice and added a little water to the bottom of the crock pot. I cooked on high for 4 hours. The peppers were very tender and the filling was delicious. Definitely a keeper!"
"This has to be my favorite recipe. easy to make, The next day leftovers are awesome too."
"This was an on the fly, let's see what I have in the pantry because I'm snowed in kinda deal for me that turned out very good.I didn't have whole peppers but had chopped mixed red, yellow and orange in the freezer from my over abundance this past fall so I used them. Also didn't have pepper jack cheese but substituted Colby Jack and some chopped jalapenos.I had all the other ingredients and also added 1 can of Ro-tel diced tomatoes with lime and cilantro just because I always add tomatoes to my stuffed peppers.In place of sour cream I used fat free plain Greek yogurt."
"First time I made this, I cooked rice separately and was good. Second time I added 1/4 cup diced tomatoes to uncooked rice. Worked great."
"Good, but better the second day. I added a tablespoon of water to each pepper to make sure the rice cooked properly. No rice issues."
"Great flavor"
"What a fantastic way to make stuffed peppers that come out so tender and delicious. I used brown rice, which wasn't quite done when we were ready to eat, so I spooned some of the liquid from the bottom of the crock pot into the peppers. After another half hour or so, they were perfect. We enjoyed the tex-mex flavors, and I will use this method for my other stuffed pepper recipes in the future."
"My hubby and I love these! So easy to make and so yummy! Great with sour cream! I cooked the rice before I stuffed the peppers!"
"What is "Converted Rice"? I usually use the original rice that comes in a plastic bag and takes about 40-45 mins. to cook. Is "converted" rice the fast cooking kind that comes in a box and cooks in about 5-10 min? Or, can I use original white or brown rice? I'm rating this only because it's the only way to submit this question....I can't figure out any other way to get my question answered through Taste of Home. This recipe does sound delicious and I do plan to try it if I can get my question answered."

Creative-editing award goes to first-time student filmmaker
University of South Carolina senior Clayton Tilley's short film has been selected from among a dozen finalists for the second Moving Image Research Collection (MIRC) Award for Creative Editing (ACE).
Tilley is a journalism major from Traveler's Rest and the son of Mike and Marie Tilley.
The award celebrates innovative use of archival film footage in "The Moving Image," a media-arts course that introduces undergraduates to all aspects of film and video production.
"In my film, I used the Kuleshov effect, a montage effect based on a psychological study that was first used by Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov in the 1920s," Tilley said. "The project also gave me the chance to use Final Cut, a professional film editing software that I hadn't worked with before."
Tilley, who had never heard of the USC's Moving Image Research Collection before taking the class, marveled at the resource.
"Our school is privileged to have so much history at its fingertips," he said.
MIRC's interim director Mark Cooper agreed.
"The archive exists to preserve these resources so that they may continue to inspire audiences and nurture creative talent," he said.
For the class project, faculty members Dr. Laura Kissel and Dr. Jennifer Tarr selected film clips from the Fox Movietone News Collection to teach aesthetic principles of editing and to develop technical skills in working with editing software.
"Using MIRC footage allowes us to achieve some learning objectives, and it enables us to introduce students to one of the marvelous film collections housed at the University of South Carolina," said Kissell, an associate professor of media arts and director of the Media and Film Studies Program.
Tarr said archival footage is useful as a teaching tool for beginning students because it encourages them to compare their own interests and objectives with those of the original filmmakers.
"We look for varying subjects but wanted images with action and movement in them," said Tarr, a media-arts instructor. "We try to avoid images that would dictate the message too obviously."
Students complete films of about a minute in length. Entries are judged on the effectiveness with which students use editing to establish graphical, rhythmic and spatial relationships on screen.
For a first-time filmmaker, the exercise proved a lesson in patience. Tilley offers advice for anyone working with archival footage.
"Keep watching, even if it seems it's going nowhere, because inspiration can be found in something as small as a facial expression," he said.
A unit of the University Libraries, MIRC welcomes use of its collections. Located at 707 Catawba St., MIRC is open to the public weekdays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. More than 3,000 hours of rare archival material are available to view on videocassette and DVD.
Jarid Munsch, also a senior journalism major, won the first MIRC ACE in Fall 2010. View the winning MIRC ACE films at www.sc.edu/library/mirc/ace2010.html.

"I thought we were bestfriends!" I yelled at her. "We used to be best friends, but we will never be the same again." she said. "ITS THE BOYS' FAULT! How could we let boys get between us?" I asked sadly. "At the time, love was more important." she said and walked away. I just lost my best friend. Now the only person I have left is Niall. I knew we shouldn't have gotten involved with One Direction and 5SOS.
