Dee Brown held several jobs, none of which are indicative of what was to come. He was a library assistant at the USDA, technical librarian for the War Department, librarian at the University of Illinois, and professor of library science there. In 1971,1 he took a great deal of research,passion, and dedication and, borrowing a line from a Stephen Vincent Benét poem,2 wrote an important book on the history of the American Indian: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: an Indian History of the American West.
Some have said that it was the first history (he concentrates on the thirty years from 1860-1890) to be told from an Indian perspective. While not strictly true, one cannot underestimate the impact of the book because it did something that no previous book did, it presented it in an easily accessible format for the general reader. It wasn't a history text to be relegated to classrooms in colleges and universities, but a popular edition that was available at your local bookstore. Not only a critical success3, but a popular one, it has sold over five million copies, one million of those in hard cover (no Stephen King, but impressive nonetheless) and been translated into fifteen languages.
For many readers (then, as now), the history of the Indian has not only been told by and from the point of view of the victor/conquerer, but came from other popular outlets like television, movies, novels, and comic books (admittedly a more important medium for the dissemination of culture in the past than it is today). In most cases the stories were totally fictional or fictionalized versions of "what happened." Information was usually inaccurate or misrepresented and Indian stereotypes would enhanced and perpetuated. They were savage,scalping heathens that had to be beaten back by the heroic soldiers and pioneers of the Old West. This book took all those images and stereotypes and set them aside to give a more objective history (sympathies noted). Indians were not one dimensional stock-characters from a mass produced western, they had families, feelings, philosophies and world views, prejudices, flaws—they were human just like the rest of us.
One of Brown's strong points was the research he did to not only give an accurate account of the stories but would give the statements and feelings of the people involved (on both sides) in their own words. A glance at the "Notes" section confirms this by showing that he went to the notes of treaty councils, congressional records, reports from government agencies, and autobiographies of those who are part of the story. Not only does this enhance the credibility and accuracy of the book, it functions to do something else: it allows him to tell it not as a dry history of facts and details hung on the skeleton of chronology, but as stories with all the dramatic elements that can (and should) be found in a good history book. This is at the heart of the book's popular success. The novelistic approach lets the reader "get into" the "characters" and the drama (and tragedy) of the stories. It also makes the impact all the more immediate—something that Brown wanted and the readers undoubtedly responded to (and continue to do so).
Accompanied by numerous photos of the people being written about about, Brown mainly tells about the events and history of the tribes of the plains during his time span (not to say it focuses strictly on there, as he deals with some tribes of the Southwest, the Northwest, and the Great Basin). Given the time period, that was where most of the remaining Indians could be found. Some have criticized that sometimes confusing chronology of the book. Not without merit but it deserves explanation. Since Brown is telling the stories of many tribes (the Sioux Nation—which was made up of many tribes ranging from Minnesota to Colorado, Apaches, Comanches, Modocs, Utes, Paiutes, Cheyenne, Arapahos, and other) in different locations, there is some necessary overlap in time between chapters. This can't be helped as historical events don't tend take place on a premeditated time schedule. The only way to avoid this would be to cut out the comprehensiveness of the coverage or to simplify much of the detail. That he refuses to do that is to the benefit of the reader.
To give more historical context, each of the nineteen chapters had a short list of dates contemporary to the "story" it contains (within reason, given what is noted above). Important events in the history of the United States are mentioned, some related to the events of the book, some not. Brown also begins each chapter with one or more quotations from Indians, often ones who are a part of the events in that chapter. He also reproduces some sheet music of Indian songs (with translation) form the Bureau of American Ethnology Collection. All these things, the words (and songs) of the Indians both at the beginning of the chapters and within the stories, the black and white photos, and the novelistic approach bring the history alive to the reader in a way no textbook ever can and with an impact no novel could.
After a short chapter on the general postcontact history, the book traces the events and people from the Navaho's "Long Walk" through the Sand Creek Massacre, Little Big Horn, and finally to the massacre of the title—an event that effectively ended any hope for the resurgence of the Indian on the plains or elsewhere unless it was under terms dictated to him. The original introduction ended with Brown hoping that
if the readers of this book should ever chance to see the poverty, the hopelessness, and the squalor of a modern Indian reservation, they may find it possible to truly understand the reasons why.
And in the introduction to the thirtieth anniversary edition, he writes:
We rarely know the full power of words, in print or spoken. It is my hope that time has not dulled the words herein and that they will continue through the coming generation to be as true and direct as I originally meant them to be.
That the book is still in print and readily available at most local bookstores is testament to the power of those words and the people and events they describe.
1The copyright is 1970, however.
2The quote appears on its own page before the start of the work. It is the final two lines of the poem "American Names":
I shall not be there. I shall rise and pass. Bury my heart at Wounded Knee.
3The back of the current edition, alone, has raves fromThe Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker; the New York Times getting the cover.
Some personal comments. Not only a compelling read but an important book on the history that, even today, is largely ignored, glossed over, or misrepresented. Because of the style, it is a good introduction to the subject, though a small knowledge of the history and (perhaps especially) the geography and locations would help the reader. A good general history that outlines such things would make a helpful companion piece (I highly recommend Carl Waldman's Atlas of the North American Indian, including histories, contexts, essential maps, and other good information from precontact to the present). The way Brown includes what are relatively well known incidents along with stuff that even someone somewhat versed with the history of the Indian would be unaware of makes it all the better read.
I did wish for more footnote/endnotes and detail—but that's just me, the typical reader usually doesn't want to be paging back and forth or looking to the bottom of the page time and time again. Really, my only criticism (which is still mild and not meant to deter the interested reader—I liked the book) is of two of the key events. I felt that the Sand Creek Massacre was not given the full treatment for what horror happened there that day. Perhaps it would be too difficult for the general reader to read the testimony of all the atrocities (at least in 1971). On the other hand, it isn't "glossed over," either. I'm just being picky. Finally, I was surprised that the final incident—for which the book was titled—seemed almost abbreviated in length. Not only because the incident deserves more space because of the tragedy and its importance in a historical context, but because it seems so much shorter than what comes before. Other than the "general history" chapter, it's the shortest one. Perhaps by then, the numerous treacheries, broken treaties, atrocities, and miseries have probably worn down reader and writer alike.

part number resource?
is their a website or pdf that has illustrations and part #'s for our WKs? I have searched around but havent found anything yet.
Re: part number resource?
you wont find much with part #'s and if you do...the are more than likely old. The part #'s change so often.
Re: part number resource?
yea I've seen in the past how you can have multiple part #s for the same part.
I found this website: www.oemworldparts.com you can search my model and year, and they have illustrations for alot of the components. however they dont give the actual part #. on a side note..........I am looking for the sensor that goes into the stock air resonator on the 3.7L engine. I found an "air temp sensor"......does that sound correct? Not sure if its for intake air temp, or exterior air temp lol. |
Re: part number resource?
Scott, shame on you! http://www.wkjeeps.com/wk_brochures.htm#MANUALS I won't tell Milous.:thumbsup: Dave |
Re: part number resource?
That sensor is not for exterior air. If you take the shroud off thats on top of your grill and look down you will see a little sensor on the bumper with a wire coming off of it. Thats the ambient air temp :)

OK, there are a couple ways of looking at this. First, the astonishing headline news: "just under half of the parents have implemented internet filtering or parental controls, leaving nearly 60% of youngsters in the 12-15 age group to use the internet unsupervised... one in six users aged 5-7 are also mostly left to use the internet unsupervised as well." OK, if these numbers reflect anything like similar trends over the last decade or so, shouldn't we have seen by now a wave of injury and trauma? I mean, if this sort of situation is dangerous, shouldn't we be seeing casualties by now? If 60 percent of children ran through red lights, we'd be hearing about it. So, given these statistics, what is the case for Internet Safety, properly so-called?
It brings to mind a case from Halifax last night. In what must be a case of Worst. Babysitting. Ever. a naked three-year old child was found wandering up the on-ramp to a major bridge leading over the harbour. A person, when interviewed, expressed shock and said, "he could have been kidnapped or something." And I'm sitting there and thinking, your child is walking outside naked in late October on a major road leading over a bridge, and your perception of the risk is that he might be kidnapped? I think a lot of 'Internet Safety' falls into this category. Children face risks, sure, but they are at much greater risk from more immediate threats than from unspecified danger posed by the internet. Today: Total:56

I think we are closer than ever to being able to realistically comprehend a future without textbooks. Digital textbooks offer a world of improvements: not only are they lighter and more portable, they allow instant updates, collaboration and lower costs (in theory, at least). From the Q & A with Andy Chlup of the Vail School District: "Teachers are able to focus on what is the best way to creatively teach the learning objectives. So, often teachers are limited to teaching with the resources they have. We aim to leverage the nearly unlimited potential of the Internet to give teachers access to virtually any resource they can dream up. This includes materials created by other teachers, subscription services, and many incredible free resources out on the web." Today: Total:47

Again, this is why I have devoted work to online learning. ""The proportion of students who graduate with more than $40,000 in debt jumped sixfold during that period, to 7.7% of the 1 million grads in 2004, or 77,500 people. Most will struggle for more than a decade to work it off..." They will, during this time, defer home ownership, investing in a business, and many other things taken for granted by a person who sails through their education without the need for financing.

I have long felt that the reputation of the 'elite' universities is due mostly to marketing and money. Case in point: "Carol Hymowitz, writing for the Wall Street Journal, insists that when it comes to earning a degree 'Any College Will Do.' Hymowitz notes the words of some of the nation's top executives who insist that the 'path to the corner office usually starts at state university.'" Today: Total:50

I oftent talk of teaching being 'modeling and demonstrating' (rather than 'information transfer'). But what does that mean? Modeling and demonstrating what? This post is a good insight into this. Things like goal-setting and self-reflection can be explicitly demonstrated. "While natural talent may be overrated, deliberate practice is not. In fact, deliberate practice is the place where self-reflection, work ethic and ambition all meet." (We will ignore the Dale's cone/pyramid diagram in the sidebar). Today: Total:121

This post reads like a news article summarizing some of David Wiley's views and activities, so it feels a bit odd reading it on his 'Open Education' blog (it was written by someone called 'Thomas', according to the RSS feed; no attribution on the web page). Despite the oddity of the presentation, the message is worth heeding: "the Internet and wealth of developing technology provide young people outside of education with a sense of 'openness, connectedness, personalization, and participation' that is simply not found at the university level today."

In the wake of Randy Pausch and this post celebrating both Pausch and Jim Valvano it seems appropriate to link to this earlier post citing from a talk by comedian Patton Oswalt. "First off," says Oswalt, "Reputation, Posterity and Cool are traps. They'll drain the life from your life. Reputation, Posterity and Cool = Fear." Right. "Secondly: The path is made by walking. And when you're walking that path, you choose how things affect you. You always have that freedom, no matter how much your liberty it curtailed. You... get to choose... how things affect you." Right again. And, finally, "There Is No Them."
Why does any of this matter? A little (very personal) story: as I was walking around Memphis, late at night, in the dark, talking to people on the street, I realized, I was not afraid. It was, for me, a very unusual feeling. You know, because you can say all this stuff about being your own person and all that, but in the end, this knowledge (like all knowledge) comes down to having the right sort of feeling, the right sort of sensation. Which, once had, is impossible to thereafter ignore (kind of like, as I have so often said, finding Waldo). We may get to choose - yes - but there is a very long journey between the choosing and the feeling, and that is what exploring the world is all about. Today: Total:32

Interview with Walter Bender on the reasons he left OLPC and where he expects the Sugar system to go in the future.

This essay looks at the use of the internet for open content from the perspective of the 'tragedy of the commons'. I think the main utility of the article is that it shows that the internet is very different from a pasture - it (and this is my perspective now) is kind of like a pasture that keeps growing and growing, a pasture characterized by abundance rather than scarcity.

The Venice Film Festival is done for another year. Actually, that's far from true: the festival doesn't wrap up til tomorrow, when top gong Golden Lion, and other prizes, will be awarded. And since we departed on Wednesday, a few more high-profile films have been unveiled, including Brillante Mendoza's "Thy Womb" (word on which is fairly middling), Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep" (which we hear is the actor/director's best since "Quiz Show," and Brian DePalma's "Passion" (thanks to Jamie Dunn for reviewing that for us on the Lido).
Although we can't say we've had much to compare it to, we've found the last two years in Venice to be a blast: going to work every day on a boat takes some beating, and we can't imagine that many festivals can compare with the faded glamor of this festival, or the diverse and exciting range of world premieres.
All that said, Alberto Barbera's first year (back) in charge could probably only be deemed a middling success. Last year saw us give three top grades (to "Wuthering Heights," "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and "Alps," but there were also some real disasters ("W.E." and "A Burning Hot Summer"). This time, the selection was deemed, not least by us, to be more or less down the middle — few, if any, train wrecks, but also few films that truly knocked critics' or audiences' socks off. And that's something that's reflected in the list of complete reviews from Venice (from best to worst) that you can find below.
Still, there are bound to be teething problems when a festival gets a change of leadership, and there was something to like in even the most disappointing films we saw — the performance of Riz Ahmed in festival opener "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," or those of Jason Bateman and Frank Grillo in "Disconnect." All in all, it was a thrilling and challenging week at the movies. You can read about our five favorites below, along with links to our complete coverage, ranked from best to worst, at the bottom.
"A Hijacking"
For various reasons (mostly business), it took us a couple of days to get around to reviewing this Danish/Norwegian under-the-radar gem, which we basically walked into on a whim. So we were as surprised as anyone to realize, as we wrote it up, that "A Hijacking" had sneakily become our favorite film of the festival. A docudrama-style tale about the fictional capture of a Danish cargo freighter, and the months-long, drawn-out process to free its crew, director Tobias Lindholm (a recent collaborator of Thomas Vinterberg, and co-writer of cult TV series "Borgen") fails to sensationalize the material, or include anything that doesn't feel entirely truthful. Grippingly shot, beautifully acted and enormously powerful, it was the best surprise we've had all year.
"Stories We Tell"
When a director heads into the documentary world, it's tempting to think of it as a digression, a chance to stretch the legs and have a little fun before doing something more substantial. That's what we were expecting from Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell," anyway. What we got was the best film yet from the director of "Take This Waltz," a deeply personal mystery of a movie that straddles the boundary between documentary and autobiography, Polley movingly revealing a secret from her own family's past, one that, remarkably, stayed under wraps until the day of the first Venice screening. If you've managed to avoid it, we can't encourage you enough to keep it that way — we saw it at the ideal time, when no one else knew of the film's secrets, and it'll reward you if you go in cold. One of the most widely adored films at both Venice and Telluride (where it was one of RP's favorites as well), it now also feels, a week on, like one of the best films of the year.
"To The Wonder"
A brief confession: "The Tree Of Life" didn't do much for me. Visually stunning, of course, and fitfully brilliant, but it also felt a little like the emperor's new clothes to me, Malick getting a pass on things like a thirty-minute progression from the dawn of time to the present day that had been scorned by Charlie Kaufman in "Adaptation" a decade earlier. So why is it that we loved "To The Wonder" when so many found it to be Malick drifting into self-parody and pretentiousness, the exact same thing we felt the director's last film was guilty of? Ultimately, we simply connected more with the subject matter, found the unfashionable sincerity to be more deeply felt, and the actors given more to do. It may be that we have a different taste in Terrence Malick movies than most, but regardless, we came out of the film walking on air.
"Paradise: Faith"
We nearly didn't go to see Ulrich Seidl's second film of the year, and the second of a trilogy ("Paradise: Hope" will complete it next year — one suspects a Berlin premiere is in the cards in February), because the first part, "Paradise: Love" hadn't yet screened outside of Cannes. As it turns out, the film stands on its own just fine, and turned out to be a savagely funny, surprisingly tender look at religious obsession and marriage, one which managed to get the festival, and the filmmaker, criticized for blasphemy. Any film that features a woman masturbating on a crucifix is going to face that charge, and Seidl clearly doesn't feel warmly toward religion (it would make a curious double bill with the defiantly spiritual "To The Wonder"). But to get caught up on the more controversial aspects would be to overlook a filmmaker in total control of his craft, and a film that, while imperfect, contains a number of scenes that have haunted us ever since, and two outstanding and courageous central performances. Not an easy watch by any means, but certainly made us keen to seek out more of Seidl.
"The Master"
Maybe we simply had lower standards as kids than you guys, but there was a certain amount of outrage in the comments section that I gave "The Master" a B. For future reference, a B, as indicated in the review, is, for me at least, a film that does an awful lot right, but that a few things holding us back from truly taking it to our hearts. So don't get me wrong: there was a lot I loved about Paul Thomas Anderson's latest — the stunning visuals, the hypnotic editing rhythms, the outstanding, career-best performances from Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams. It's also the point at which Anderson stepped free, for the most part, of his more obvious influences — Altman, Scorsese, Kubrick — to make a film that it feels as though it couldn't have come from anyone else. There's a distance to the film that made it harder to really take into our hearts than some of those above, but the overwhelming reaction of everyone we talked to after the screening was a desire to see it again, and we'll certainly be at the front of the queue — there's every chance that it'll grow in stature on second viewing.

Varsity 8 and JV8 to Row For Gold in Sunday's Finals
April 20, 2013
Day 1 Results | @GW_WomensRowing
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. - The George Washington women's rowing team advanced two boats to the Grand Finals of the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association (SIRA) Championships on Saturday on Lake Mellon.
GW's Varsity 8 and JV8 will each row in its respective Grand Finals tomorrow while the Colonials' Varsity 4 will compete in the B Final.
The Varsity 8 dominated the field in its morning heat, navigating the 2,000-meter course on Lake Mellon in 7:09.25, nearly 20 seconds ahead of second-place Oklahoma City (7:28.30). Florida Tech came in third place in 7:34.95, followed by Tulane (8:01.52), Miami of Ohio (8:13.74) and Colorado (8:19.58).
The Varsity 8 then clinched a spot in Sunday's Grand Final with another first-place performance in the semifinals. The Colonials edged out Nova Southeastern at the finish line by three seconds, finishing in 6:45.80.
The JV8 did not appear in a morning heat, but clinched a spot in the Grand Finals with a second-place showing in the semifinals, finishing in 7:18.10. Kansas State won the semifinal race in 7:09.00, ahead of GW, Jacksonville (7:44.29) and Purdue 7:54.10.
The Varsity 4 finished in second place during the morning heat, finishing behind VCU. The Rams won the heat in 8:06.60, ahead of GW (8:16.80), Charleston (8:30.46), Miami of Ohio (8:33.21), Washington University (8:36.09) and UT-Chattanooga (9:00.11).
Needing to finish in the top three to advance to the Grand Final, the Colonials finished just outside in fourth place in the V4 semifinals. Central Oklahoma (8:02.90), Nova Southeastern (8:10.70) and Stetson (8:17.00) earned the bids to the Grand Finals while GW (8:19.60), Tampa (8:22.90) and Jacksonville (8:58.80) will row in the B Final.

I found this page on PTSD today, that I have to say is one of THE best, single informative pages that quickly outlines the issues and complexities, medication and treatment methods, for living with and dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
The opening statement: "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychological disorder formed by exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. It is linked to physiological changes within Posttraumatic stress disorder the brain, affecting the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. PTSD has biological, psychological and environmental causation and implication."

Information for Patients
Myositis means inflammation of the muscles that you use to move your body. An injury, infection, or autoimmune disease can cause it. Two specific kinds are polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis causes muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of your body. Dermatomyositis causes muscle weakness, plus a skin rash.
Other symptoms of myositis may include
- Fatigue after walking or standing
- Tripping or falling
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
Doctors may use a physical exam, lab tests, imaging tests and a muscle biopsy to diagnose myositis. There is no cure for these diseases, but you can treat the symptoms. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are first treated with high doses of a corticosteroid. Other options include medications, physical therapy, exercise, heat therapy, assistive devices, and rest.

I have a very old, very thin cat. He's about 14 years old, and he's been to the vet. He had a few battles with cancer, but that's been taken care of. The vet feels something in his belly, either an intestinal mass or lymphoma, both aren't really worth treating at his age because it's either (chemo) too traumatic, or (surgery) just wont buy him much more time anyway.
he's still drinking, still grooming, but weak. he doesn't have much of an appetite. i bought high fat, high calorie special food for him, but he's still not interested.
i'm going to try mixing it with ground beef (his favorite) but is there anything else i can give him? i want to keep him comfortable (and give him a LITTLE more strength and energy via calories) so other than things like ground beef, and the food from the vet.. is there anything else high calorie and high fat i can give him? is it safe to give him cream or half&half... will cats eat egg yolks? any other suggestions. sometimes when my dad cooks he'll save the grease from the meat, so maybe we can pour some of that in his food....
any suggestions? anything that an old kitty even with no appetite really can't turn down?

Craig This week's picture book for children has a little bit of everything, including some history, vivid color, action and humor. It bears the seal of the Caldecott Honor for illustration.
The book, a combination of history and fiction, is based on one aspect of aviation - the hot-air balloon. According to notes at the book's end, two Frenchmen, the Montgolfier brothers, are credited with the invention of the hot-air balloon.
On Sept. 19, 1783, the brothers tested one of their balloons - with some passengers, too. The balloon was fifty- seven feet high and forty-one feet in diameter and weighed 1,596 pounds. The basket and its passengers weighed an additional 900 pounds. The author says this information is historical record.
But just what happened during the flight? Nobody knows for sure. That's the fiction part of this book.
"Hot Air: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Hot-Air Balloon Ride" was written and illustrated by Marjorie Priceman.
The book begins on Sept. 19, 1783. The place is the palace at Versailles in France. Thousands of people (also dogs cats, and birds) look on as Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier get their balloon ready for take off. Among the spectators are King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antoinette and American ambassador Benjamin Franklin.
What a splendid sight it is! Red and gold trim sets off the balloon's royal blue color. The passengers - a rooster, duck, and sheep - aren't seen at first. They're hunkered down in the basket. The animals are scared, and who can blame them?
The balloon floats off into the sky, and from this point on, the story is told almost completely by the illustrations.
The only words are animal sounds (including a "mmmoooooo" from the rooster when the balloon passes over a herd of black and white cattle).
Eventually the animals sit up and look around. Then they seem to be enjoying the ride. The animals' facial expressions tell all.
And then the balloon floats over a town, and a sudden wind rocks the basket. Some laundry gets sucked off a clothesline and flies upward and into the basket. The rooster looks quite comical wearing a pair of green ruffled pantaloons over his tail.
A boy sitting on a rooftop takes up his bow and aims for the basket. The arrow bends as it hits the bottom of the basket, but not to worry. No harm is done, and the arrow comes in handy later on.
Lots more excitement is in store for the three animals.
They come dangerously close to a sharp point on a tower and are attacked by a bunch of birds. Finally their balloon is punctured.
This is a fun book!
"A Brief History of Montgolfiers' Balloon" is found on the inside covers of the back of the book.
Priceman also received a Caldecott Honor in 1996 for "Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin" by Lloyd Moss.

This year, raunchy comedian Seth Rogen took aim at everyone from Mel Gibson to Chris Brown as the host of the Film Independent Spirit Awards. Next year, one of Rogen's buddies will try his hand at the gig: Andy Samberg.
The "Saturday Night Live" veteran turned film star will help hand out prizes to the best in the indie film world at the 28th annual telecast in February.
Samberg, 34, is no stranger to being an emcee, having served as the host of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. This year, the actor co-starred in the big-budget Adam Sander flop "That's My Boy" and lent his voice to one of the animated characters in "Hotel Transylvania." But he also appeared with Rashida Jones in the independently financed "Celeste & Jesse Forever," a romantic comedy about a couple getting divorced that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
Samberg has some big shoes to fill, as Rogen earned rave reviews as the host of this year's show. The Spirit Awards, which are held in a tent on the Santa Monica beach, are known for their laid-back vibe -- and Rogen capitalized on that, frequently using expletives and going after top entertainment personalities.
Referring to Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive," for example, he quipped: " 'Drive' made Jews so scary I thought Mel Gibson directed it."
The 2013 Spirit Awards will take place on Feb. 23, and will be broadcast later that evening on IFC.

Take a look at this short lecture (only about 10 minutes) that Jim Hanas delivered as a part of the "useless lecture series" that he helps curate.
According to Hanas, the point of his address was to debunk what he calls "America's Big Lie," the one perhaps best epitomized by Andy Warhol's famous remark about each of us getting our 15 minutes of fame. The stats that Hanas uses are surprisingly effective for disabusing we Un-Famous Masses of our illusions about someday rising above the hoi polloi. Particularly shocking was the 51%, that's FIFTY-ONE PERCENT, of 18-25 year olds who claim that to be famous is one of their generation's greatest goals. Hanas attributes this phenomenon to "the explosion of fame itself" and, although he doesn't mention it specifically, I'm sure that at least one big fuel source for that explosion is reality TV, which makes fame seem so very achievable. (I mean, just look at VH1's Tiffany Pollard, a.k.a. "New York." How hard can it be?) But as it turns out, there are only 4,536 famous people today-- and that's even using a generous definition of "fame." So the odds that any one of us might join their ranks is, as Hanas points out, less likely than odds that we will be put to death by a legal form of execution.
Obviously, reality TV is not the only culprit here. MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter surely share part of the blame, allowing us to broadcast the most mundane of our activities and thoughts, reinforcing the myth that we really are that interesting. And, alas, if I'm being completely forthright, I would have to include blogs as well. Hanas' lecture forced me to ask myself, regrettably and uncomfortably: why DO I feel the need to have a "counter" on this page? Is it perhaps because, somewhere deep in the recesses of my consciousness, I may think that each new click (almost 30 grand now!) somehow validates that I am not alone in the world? that people know me? that they may even care what I think?
[I pause to reflect on the profound irony of my publicly airing these reservations about my own fame-drive. And then I continue.]
As someone who has an insatiable fascination with and genuine appreciation for many of these fame-craze culprits (Facebook, reality TV, blogs), I'm ambivalent about how much they are to be condemned. There are a lot of benefits to the increasingly large and increasingly accessible "social network," not the least of which is the expansion of our community-building skills and vocabulary. But, of course, participation in and access to multiple communities cannot be an end-in-itself. Perhaps this is a problem of confusing quantity and quality. Whatever "fame" is, and I'm not sure it's all that easy to define, at least one characteristic must be that more people know you than you know. And as we all know, there's a very fine line between famous and infamous.
When I was young and our family would go on road trips, I remember regularly passing water-towers in various small towns, which almost always had been marked-up by some kid who climbed up it late one night with a spray-paint can and made him- or herself "famous." If I read the graffitti aloud from the backseat, my mother would always remark: Fools' names, like fools' faces, are always seen in public places. (Isn't it weird how those rhyme-y adages stick with you after so many years?) Anyway, I suppose the moral there was that fame for fame's sake isn't a goal worth pursuing... and I suppose that Hanas' lecture has prompted me to be a bit more vigilant about making sure that things like this blog don't end up being spray-paint on some Hicktown water-tower.

California Raisin Marketing Board
(559) 248-0287
California Raisins Available to all Students in Nation's Second-Largest School District
Los Angeles Unified School District Kicks Off
(FRESNO, CA. November 19, 2003) The California Raisin Marketing Board (CRMB) announced today the expansion of its successful "Raisins Rock" marketing program into 450 schools of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). The program will be officially launched on Thursday, November 20, at Glenfeliz Boulevard School. The school is holding 3 assemblies for the CRMB to talk about health and nutrition to their students.
Raisins Rock is an unconventional approach to marketing commodity-type products through foodservice programs. To compete with branded snack food and soda companies, the CRMB persuaded the USDA to replace their generic packaging with kid-friendly boxes that proclaim "Raisins Rock". The CRMB supports the program with point-of-sale materials including sneeze guards, banners and posters.
With raisins a long time favorite of their students, LAUSD foodservice and administrative personnel recognized the potential for Raisins Rock packaging and point-of-sale materials to make California raisins even more attractive to students. They agreed to participate in the CRMB program because they felt it would encourage more students to choose nutritious alternatives to fatty and processed-sugar-loaded snacks. A unanimous vote by the LAUSD Board of Education to prohibit the sale of junk foods in school vending machines and student stores and putting strict limits on the amount of fat, sugar and sodium in any snacks sold during the school day continued to support this decision. Then, legislation to prohibit all public elementary, middle and junior high schools in the state from selling sodas on campus signed by California Governor Gray Davis in early October provided further incentive.
According to a Los Angeles Times article, the Federal Center for Disease Control considers more than 15% of American children aged 6-19 to be obese, up from 6% two decades ago. Also, doctors are seeing more children with "adult" ailments linked to obesity, including high blood pressure, clogged arteries and type-2 diabetes. These risk factors are especially high for Hispanic children, who make up the majority of students in this district.
In fact, for many pediatricians today, the country's most pressing health issue is overweight children. Poor eating habits and lack of exercise have brought childhood obesity to an all-time high. Bursting with flavor, chewy raisins add sweetness and energy to kids' diets. Low in sodium and fat-free, naturally sweet, providing carbohydrates, fiber, potassium and other minerals, California raisins are good to eat. Kids love them! That's why Raisins Rock! California raisins are a natural for nutritious school lunches and snacks.
This announcement follows an order from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for over 37 million individually sized boxes of raisins to use in school foodservice programs in selected areas throughout the country. CRMB's "Raisins Rock" marketing promotion won wide acclaim in 2002 as a pilot program for the Denver Public School's Food and Nutrition Services.
John Beck, president of CRMB, says, "There are about 5,000 raisin farmers in California and they are adamant about kids getting turned on to healthy foods. They recognize that kids need to develop a palate for raisins because they will be tomorrow's grocery shoppers. So CRMB's goal is twofold: (1) help kids make healthy choices today and (2) develop tomorrow's customer base."
About The California Raisin Marketing Board – Created by a State Marketing Order in 1998, the California Raisin Marketing Board is 100 percent funded by 5,000 raisin grower members. Their mission is to support and promote the increased use of California-grown raisins throughout North America and to sponsor research of the fruit's nutritional benefits.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Our customers have been instrumental in helping us choose and design new components. You've offered great ideas for new bits and fair criticism that help us improve existing offerings. All this reinforces two principles I've long held: Our customers collectively, and often individually, know more than we do, so we listen to them. And I always try to hire employees who are smarter than I am.
Most of our staff has already left for the holidays (with well deserved bonus checks). Thanks guys! But three of us remain here ready to ship any orders placed before 3pm Eastern time today. All orders that arrive later will be shipped on January 4. The free shipping deal will end on January 3.
Have a wonderful holiday !!!

You know the rule, people: no posts unless we get dunk face. Look at this crazy move by James Johnson. Up-and-under, in traffic, and then having the stones to toss an off the backboard alley-oop to himself.
I'm still trying to figure out if the alley was necessary or just added flair. Whatever, it's good.

A game made by arcade lover FOR arcade lovers.
For a game to be good it must be fun for ALL players. Cave Story clearly misses that point.
Still, it's a good game, and i personally enjoyed it. Whether or not you'll enjoy it too depends on how much will power you got.
Minecraft is truly a great game. It is both challenging and fun to play. The huge amounts of freedom to do whatever you want has never been seen in any other game.
The problem is that "to do whatever you want" doesn't involve much choice. The gameplay itself is quite shallow, and the play usually doesn't have much to do except, well, mine and build stuff. After a while, even the fighting starts to feel like nothing but a minor disturbance.
The lack of a large variety of blocks to spread across this huge world, and a purpose to keep moving on and playing this game simply ruins it.
Maybe some NPC's, quests, goals and challenges will make this game a true masterpiece. Until then, it's a 6/10.

Gridlock in Washington is a good thing!!
They only work something less than 1/4 of what the average person works now, if we could just get it down to a week or 2 per year think of our money they wont spend!

Jerry Sloan released a statement on Saturday regarding his abrupt resignation as head coach of the Jazz last season.
"I would like to set the record straight regarding my retirement from the Utah Jazz ," he said. "I had the unwavering support of the Miller family during my 23 seasons as head coach with the franchise and I left on my own volition. It is not true that the Millers undermined my authority as head coach. I had their complete backing to run the team as I wished and was assured that no player could ever overrule my decisions.
"The Millers encouraged me to stay with the team and gave me multiple opportunities to do so. They felt strongly that I should wait at least until the end of the season to resign and did everything they could to keep me coaching.
"I do not wish to make any further statements regarding this issue. It is time for me and my family to move on and I ask that the media respect my wishes and respect the integrity of the Miller family and all that they have done for the Utah Jazz and this community."
Sloan's Statement Insists He Had Support Of Ownership

Review of "Laura Numeroff's 10-Step Guide to Living with Your Monster"
By Laura Numeroff
Laura Geringer Books, 2002
Review by Christian Perring, Ph.D. on Apr 14th 2002
This guide is incredibly useful for children who need advice about monsters. Not about escaping from them or slaying them, but keeping them as pets. When picking monsters, for example, it recommends that you should choose one who can play the banjo and tie his own shoes. The illustrations are very clear -- they show you a monster playing the banjo, and other monsters trying to dance. There are also helpful hints about finding the best name for your monster; "Fluffy" is probably not the best selection. The pictures are the best part of this book; there are lots of small details that careful scrutiny will discover, so you will be able to read this book again and again without getting bored. Excellent stuff!

Author of Choclatique—150 Simply 150 Elegant Desserts, Running Press, 2011
A couple of weeks ago I ate breakfast at Richard Walker's Pancake House in La Jolla, California. I ordered their Baked Apple Pancake (which is an apple-filled, cinnamon glazed Dutch Boy pancake). I started to make one these this weekend at home, but found I didn't have any apples. I already had the pan heating in the oven and was ready to go. What is one to do when you have 4 hungry adults waiting for something special for brunch?
The solution… I love French toast and I love bread pudding, so I thought why not make a combination of both for a special weekend brunch. I added the chocolate chips in place of the apple mixed in with the batter and created what I call Ed's Breakfast Baby.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 20 to 25 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
4 to 5 pieces of thick-cut white, egg or brioche bread, cut in large cubes
1/2 cup whipping cream
1-1/4 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Choclatique Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips
1 cup of corn flakes or frosted corn flakes with almonds
- Preheat an oven to 400°F.
- Set an oven rack to lowest third of oven and place a large 12-inch skillet in the oven to heat. You want the skillet piping hot before you add the French toast mixture.
- Cut the bread into large thick cubes.
- In a blender mix the cream and the milk together. Add the eggs and the egg yolk and blend well.
- Add the baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract; blend until frothy.
- Add the butter to the empty hot skillet in the oven allowing it to brown.
- In a large bowl quickly add the batter mixture to the bread cubes and chocolate chips and lightly stir to mix thoroughly.
- Take the hot pan from the oven (close the oven door so you don't lose the heat) and carefully pour the French Toast batter into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the corn flakes over the top and place the skillet back in the hot oven.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the mixture is golden brown, firm and pudding like.
- Remove from the oven and cut into quarters, top with powder sugar or serve with warm maple syrup. Or maybe both.
ChefSecret: If you don't have whipping cream handy, add an extra egg, 1-3/4 cups of whole milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in place of the cream. You can also drizzle the French Toast with chocolate syrup instead of maple syrup.
