Role in the film
When her eldest son, King Richard prepares to leave for the Crusade while her youngest son, Prince John is left to govern his kingdom in his absence, Queen Eleanor is asked by one of King Richard's loyal knights, the Earl of Huntingdon, to take care of his daughter, Maid Marian in his absence, which she agrees to do. After the Archbishop of Canterbury gives a blessing for the King's Crusade, Queen Eleanor kisses her son good-bye for good luck.
A few days later, an archery contest is organized by Prince John and his new Sheriff of Nottingham at the Nottingham fair to determine which archer is the best to serve Prince John and form an army of good arrow shooters under their command. As it turns out, it is Hugh Fitzooth and his son, Robin himself the winners. However, Robin gives his prize to Marian as he learns that she is leaving for London with the Queen. On the way to London, Queen Eleanor and Maid Marian are greeted by Robin and his father before his father is murdered by Red Gill, one of the competitors and the Sheriff's men, for having defied the Sheriff after the Queen and Marian left the fair. Luckily, Robin avenges his father's death by killing Red Gill, thus, begins Robin's life as Robin Hood, an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
Two years have passed, King Richard's Crusade has ended in failure, and the King finds himself imprisoned in Austria to be held for a ransom of 100,000 marks; much to Queen Eleanor and the Archbishop's dismay and Prince John's joy. Knowing that her youngest son hasn't raised and refused to contribute to the fourth of the ransom, the Queen and the Archbishop go to Nottingham to consult him. At his castle, Prince John lies to his mother; claiming he never knew or heard of his own brother's capture and ransom from his mother's messengers, whom he also claims they never reached him as well.
Using his wit, he decides to hold a donation tomorrow at Nottingham Square. Still, the Archbishop and his mother suspect he's up to something. Prince John gives them an excuse by telling them that he's been busy forming an army of foresters against Robin Hood and his outlaws known as Merrie Men. Having known Robin Hood all her life, Maid Marian refuses to believe his story (including the story of how his father was killed) and tries to persuade the Queen to allow her to find Robin and prove her his loyalty to their King. But the Queen refuses since she is her responsibility and Prince John continues to mock and rebuff Robin Hood.
The next day, during the donation, the Archbishop and the Queen are present as Prince John and other lords contribute for the King's ransom. Maid Marian, having disobeyed the Queen and disguised herself as a page, presents everyone with Robin Hood and his men's donations; much to Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham's chagrin and the Queen and the Archbishop's joy. When the Sheriff tries to object on behalf of the Prince, Robin and his men (disguised as peasants) make him pay 1,000 marks; an act which provokes the crowd to ask for as well from him. To avoid embarrassment and suspicion, Prince John has the Sheriff donate as well (1,187 marks) while Robin and his men inconspicuously empty out the rest of the treasury (more than 10,000 marks) into one big chest and present it forth to the donation in front of everyone too, thus, the deliverance of their King is assured; much to the Prince and the Sheriff's shock.
Refusing to give up all his tax money and to allow his brother to return home safely, Prince John plans to disguise his men as Robin Hood's outlaws to steal his money back tomorrow while the Queen and the Archbishop are conveying the ransom through Sherwood Forest. Knowing Maid Marian has been fraternizing with the outlaws and could see through their deception, thus, jeopardize their plan, Prince John and the Sheriff have her imprisoned in the dungeon and make his mother believe she is with Robin Hood.
As the Queen and the Archbishop are passing through Sherwood Forest with the ransom money, they are ambushed by Prince John's guards, disguised as Robin Hood's outlaws. The Queen tries to order the impostors to leave the chests alone (which they hesitate to do since they're guards who follow anyone of royalty) until Robin and his real men arrive to stop the attack. The Queen and Archbishop learn of the deception and Prince John's treachery through the impostors' true uniforms and one of the impostors, forced to confess by Little John. The Queen and the Archbishop also learn of Maid Marian's true whereabouts when Queen Eleanor mentions that she went off to see Robin again last night (or so Prince John wanted her to think since he actually imprisoned her in the dungeon). The Queen, having been given the responsibility to look after Marian by her father in his absence two years prior, wishes to go back to see to her safety but the Archbishop reminds her of their main objective concerning the King and his ransom. So, the Queen and the Archbishop continue with their journey to Austria to pay the ransom for King Richard's return to England while Robin and his men handle Prince John and the Sheriff and rescue Maid Marian.
A few days later, after Prince John's defeat and the Sheriff's death, Queen Eleanor is last heard by her eldest son, King Richard, who has safely returned to England after his ransom's been paid, having vowed to marry Maid Marian to Robin Hood, now knighted the Earl of Locksley, at Huntingdon Manor.

The Camino de Hierro hotel is one of the best places to be in this city. I have decided to visit this country with my husband and I'm not sorry at all. It was one of the nicest vacations in my entire life. This is the second time I go to Cuba, but first time in this city. To be honest, I didn't know much about the hotel and the location, but I heard from friends that it was nice. And now I can confirm that is more than nice place. It is an awesome hotel.
When we arrived at the airport, I thought that we are going to travel a lot but I was so wrong. After a while we arrived at the hotel. Even from outside the hotel looks great and gives some sort of excitement. It is a typical Cuban architecture and that is the reason more why I like it. The employees are very polite and welcoming. They are always there for you no matter which part of the day and night it is. That is a very positive thing. The rooms are clean and big enough to fit all your stuff, so you don't have to bother about that either. The toilet is clean and there is always a hot water available to you and the other roommates that you have (in case you have of course). All the features installed in the room are working excellent so we didn't have any issue with the temperature or anything like that. The only negative thing at the Camino de Hierro hotel is that on the balcony there is always dust from the street no matter how hard the personnel is working to keep the hygiene standards.
So all in all this is a very nice place to stay no matter if you travel alone or with family / friends. There is always something that you can do. And after all, the purpose of the visit is to explore the country, not to stay in the room all the time isn't it? I would recommend the Camino de Hierro hotel to all of you that plan to stay in this city at least one night.

The only thing I can say I don't like about this hotel is the fact that it was pretty noisy which was a no but every other thing was great. My room was great, it was clean as housekeeping was regular and daily, and beds were comfortable for me except for the noise coming from all the traffic and square. The dining was great and I enjoyed the meals served. I think the only problem that would make me not come back here while on vacation because I need a peaceful and quiet place to relax would be the noise coming from the square and the hotel is located there. The services from the reception staff as a bit slow but was efficient and the other staff I met, I was impressed by how caring and reassuring they were about the noise. I didn't stay long here because I couldn't stand the noise and I needed somewhere quiet I could relax and spend the rest of my holiday so I left on the third day. Every other thing in this hotel was great, the rooms are clean and spacious, they have comfortable and soft beds and the housekeeping service was efficient as well. There was hot water and bathroom was clean. The room had the basic amenities that I needed and everything was in working condition. The hotel is chic but for those who would want to visit here, here is a tip, go for the rooms on the second floor, I think they are less noisy.

SANDY — Alta High defensive back Austin Lee confirmed earlier today that he committed to sign a letter of intent with the University of Utah on Tuesday night.
Lee, a 6-foot, 185-pounder, was also receiving a lot of early attention from such schools as BYU, Utah State, Stanford, Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon State.
"Utah offered me Tuesday afternoon, and I committed to them that very night," said Lee. "I had a feeling that the offer was coming, and when it did, Utah was really the only school I wanted to go to, so I committed.
"Utah had been really recruiting me hard over the past month. I spent a lot of time up there, learning about their program, and I love everything about their program. It was an easy decision for me to commit."
Lee was a first-team all-state selection last season, recording 101 tackles, two sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles and 14 pass breakups. He is rated as a 3-star athlete by scout.com, and was recently named as one of the top 21 overall performers of the Badger elite 7-on-7 tournament held in Las Vegas.
"The biggest thing I like about Utah are their coaches," Lee said. "Coach Jay Hill was my primary recruiter, and I really built a good relationship with him. I also got to know coaches (Morgan) Scalley and (Kalani) Sitake, and I absolutely love them and can't wait to play for them.
"I haven't had the opportunity to meet with Coach Whittingham yet, but I will be meeting with him very soon. I've seen how he runs practices, and I love how he goes about his business. He's a great coach."
Lee had been courted heavily by BYU and by Stanford, with both schools looking close at offering him a scholarship before he committed to Utah.

All Red Sox fans consider themselves a part of Red Sox Nation, but if one lucky Cotuit lad garners enough votes he'll become an official, well, official in Red Sox Kid Nation.
Kathleen Szmit photo KID NATION KID – Cotuit resident Aaron Kanzer, a die-hard Red Sox fan, is hoping to snag enough votes to get elected as a captain of the Red Sox Kid Nation. Aaron Kanzer runs for special Red Sox election All Red Sox fans consider themselves a part of Red Sox Nation, but if one lucky Cotuit lad garners enough votes he'll become an official, well, official in Red Sox Kid Nation. Kid Nation is a special "kids-only" part of Red Sox Nation where kids sign up online for a membership that includes perks like collectible lunchboxes, hats and other Red Sox memorabilia. And, as a special bonus, a certain number of applicants are chosen from a pool to represent their communities and states as captains of Kid Nation. Cotuit's Aaron Kanzer is one such kid hoping that enough votes will fall in his favor to make him one of the 12 captains. Kanzer originally entered Kid Nation in the hopes of getting deals on tickets but was enthralled even more after learning about the Kid Nation campaign. "There was an essay contest to become one of the 25 chosen finalists," said Kanzer. "Out of the 700 submissions I was one of the 25." Kanzer, 13, whose favorite player is Kevin Youkilis, is an avid Sox fan who proudly shows off the "shrine" in the corner of his bedroom that features posters, books, photos and more. When not studying, preparing for his upcoming bar mitzvah or playing his beloved drums, Kanzer can be found online checking the status of his Fantasy Baseball team, most of which is comprised of Red Sox players. "My team's going down the tubes right now," he said. "Two of my players – Matsuzaka and Ortiz – are on the injured list." While others might want to be a Kid Nation captain because of the free game tickets or the year of free Hood ice cream, Kanzer is in it for more. Should Kanzer become one of the chosen captains, he would report directly to Red Sox Nation President Jerry Remy and Vice President Rob Crawford. If elected, Kanzer plans to use the opportunity to positively represent Massachusetts' youth. "It's 'Kids Helping Kids,'" he said, recalling the Kid Nation slogan. "I'm the only person south of Boston running for this." 'Kids helping kids' is something Kanzer believes firmly in. For the past year, as part of his bar mitzvah community service project, he has volunteered his time to the Special Olympics. According to Kanzer's bio on the Kid Nation page on the Red Sox website (http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/fan_forum/pop/kn_captains/candidate_aaron_k.jsp), with Special Olympics "I would help the mentally or physically [disabled] children feel as if they are just as capable of playing sports as any kid would be." Kanzer also writes that "I think 'Kids Helping Kids' means that kids like us that have the opportunity to go to Fenway to meet our favorite players should give these kids either a chance to go to Fenway Park, or bring their favorite player to them to make them feel as great as any kid would feel." To help Kanzer get elected, his friends and family – dad Gordon, mom Lauren, brother Bryce and sister Emily – have launched an election campaign via e-mail and Facebook. "I can get 10 votes per e-mail address," said Kanzer. "I think the coolest thing is that everybody is really into it and is really supportive. It's really neat to see how all the kids [at school] reacted to it." Kanzer, who is a straight-A student and a recently named NELMS (New England League of Middle Schools) scholar, hopes to someday venture into sports management. Meantime, he's hoping for enough votes to win a spot on the Kid Nation board on June 23. "This means a lot to me," said Kanzer. "This is something that my whole entire life has been about. Anybody you talk to who's into baseball who knows me will say, 'He knows everything.'"

Apple is reported to be developing Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) in house for the next iPhone smartphone. The TDDI single chip solution is expected to come with integrated fingerprint sensor as well. Therefore for the next iPhone, there will be no more physical Home button, instead, the screen itself will have dual functionality, one is to unlock the device while another one is as navigational purposes.
In the recent years, Apple had already done some development internally. With the expansion of the in-house development by Apple, it is likely to make a huge impact on the external semi conductor companies worldwide. One thing for sure is that the order from the giant technology company will decrease than the previous years. However, if there is a huge demand from the consumer, it is most likely that Apple will need to outsource the manufacturing part to other companies to help them to fulfill the demands. Global semiconductor companies are also going through some changes. Since the beginning of this year, there are several big companies which merged or acquitted by other company. This includes Avago's acquisition of Broadcom which is also one of the major Apple suppliers.
The next iPhone smartphone is rumored to be thinner and bigger display with the removal of Home button. However, nothing can be confirmed until now.

The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) is a system designed by the US Department of Energy using highly specialized software to model the Energy Efficiency of a home. The more efficient the home, the lower it's number on the HERS Index. A true Zero-Energy Home would rate Zero. The average existing home today rates about 130, and today's code minimum home rates about 100. All of our homes rate less than 55, (without PV, or other power generating equipment) which means that they will each use less than 55% of the energy of a code-built home.
The HERS rating system uses a very sophisticated software program called Rem-Rate. This program analyzes the insulation levels in each of the walls, floor, and roof. It takes into account the energy efficiency of the windows and doors, how well the home is air-sealed, and finally what heating and cooling equipment, appliances, and lighting systems are used in the home. The program can then determine how much energy will be required to supply the home under average use per year. Energy production equipment is then taken into consideration, such as solar photo voltaic panels, or wind generators, to come up with the final number for the house.
It is our goal to take the HERS number far enough below zero that the home can produce enough energy to offset the energy used to build, and then finally to recycle the home at the end of it's life-cycle. If we can also power the transportation systems used by the occupants, we will have really accomplished something really important! To date, about a dozen of our plans have proven to generate enough surplus energy to power the owners car! In September, 2012 we trade-marked the name "Positive NRG™ Home" to identify the home plans that can achieve this lofty goal.

GENDERING ONLINE SEWING, PART 1 -- This post is the first of a series featuring snippets of my Gender-Studies M.A. thesis on the online sewing community.
The online sewing community has enriched my life in many ways. Most of all, however, it has improved my sense of embodiment (i.e., how I feel in my body).
Like many women in our image-focused culture, I have struggled with body image and weight. This is probably because I learned through magazines, television, and the Internet that a girl's looks are of paramount importance, and that mine were somehow inadequate.
The complex system of media and corporations that produce these damaging messages is what feminist-theorist Sandra Lee Bartky calls the "fashion-beauty complex" (a reference to the "military-industrial complex").
Learning to sew my own clothes and adjust them to my own unique body has enabled me to distance myself from this system by giving me the power to "Make my clothes fit my body, and not my body fit my clothes." (This is actually the title of a paper I presented at the 8th European Feminist Conference in Budapest in May.) The "problem" is not my body: the problem is the clothes.
After interviewing members of the online sewing community, I realized that I was not alone in experiencing this change in the way I related to my body. As one blogger said: "Self-acceptance is possibly the most powerful part of the sewing and knitting blogging community. [It's about] understanding that your hips or your belly probably aren't going anywhere – that you're with them for life. You can either fight it, or work with it. The better answer is to work with it."
What about you? Have you found that dressmaking – and blogging about it – has improved your overall embodiment and body image?

You will find in this source the concept of the "fashion-beauty complex," among other useful theoretical tools derived from her feminist appropriation of Michel Foucault's framework.

Day 6: A Tool to Covet
Today's topic is tools, and how we use them in knitting. What is the one tool that you use more than others, and why is it so awesome?
I'm not sure if it counts as a tool, but I have chosen to talk about my iPad. I bought it about two years ago, and I have used it every day since. I downloaded Goodreader on it, which is a PDF reader, and I have all of my patterns in there. The program allows you to draw lines and write notes on the documents, which means that it's very easy to keep track of where I am in the patterns. It also functions as a small computer, which means that I can look up techniques on youtube or Ravelry while I'm knitting, and I can have music or audiobooks going as well. It's pretty much the best thing I ever got. I have the oldest version, and as I bought it after the iPad 2 had come out, it wasn't too expensive. But I'm pretty certain that once it gives up I'll fork out the money for a new one, no matter how much it costs!
I can't really think of a tool I have that I regret buying though. I have a couple of needle brands that I don't really use, but I still don't regret buying them to try them out. I still plan to give them away here on the blog eventually, but I'm saving all of that stuff up for the four year anniversary that's coming up in June. Other than that, I think I use most of my stuff, although since I got the iPad I don't really use my document holder that I got from KnitPicks a couple of years ago. I used that one for all of my patterns before though, so I definitely had a use for it.
Ok, short post today. I'll be back tomorrow for the final instalment in the Knitting and Crochet Blog Week!

The main areas to sort out are:
- labels and documentation - are these integral to the work, or do they have a different function?
- do my fabrics appear to be art or fabric samples?
- how can I create a poetic space that speaks to the audience?
- which items should I leave out?

When it is time for you to begin thinking about moving because of a job change or you just need a new home that is closer to your current job but you are on a budget you might want to consider hiring a moving company
that will offer packing and boxes. There are some local movers that do supply these services at a low price. Making it easier on you to concentrate on just arranging your new home and getting settled in.
Moving can be very frustrating to say the least and when you are looking at moving to a new city or even to a new state you might need to find a company that offers long distance moves, if you do some research online you will be able to find local movers or even long distant movers that will fit in to the budget that you have planned out. A moving company will normally supply drivers that can pack and load all of the heavy house hold furniture that you want to take with you. This is always a good service to consider so that you will not have to risk hurting your back.
When it comes to packing and boxes unless you have already found all of the boxes you need and have spent many long hours doing your own packing there are a few long distant movers that will provide these type of options for you. Most long distant movers understand how difficult it is for a person to move and normally they will do everything possible to make it a little easier for you. Once you have made the decision to move you have a few different choices of how you can find and hire a company that has different sized trucks and have the option of offering you long distance movers. If you decide to look online for movers you will be able to bring up a lot of different company's that you can talk to about where you need to have your belongings taken to. You can also look though your local yellow pages and see what they might have to offer, most states have a lot of different movers that can do whatever it is that you need done and some of them have prices that will fit in to your budget all it takes is a little research to find the right one.

I got my sketchbook in the mail today for the Sketchbook Project, and am I extremely intimidated! My theme is "science project gone wrong" and the sketcbhook is mine to transform and mail back to the Brooklyn Art Library by January 15th.
Breaking news! Due to a recent flurry of sketchbook requests, they are extending the deadline for signups to November 15, so if you still are interested in the project, here's the link again: http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject/exhibitions
Anyhow - back to my new sketchbook - there are 40 empty pages, the last 16 perforated (why?). It would seem so simple, if I didn't look through the website and discover what people actually have done to their sketchbooks. Things like: they take the thin paper out and replace it with heavier paper, re-sewing it in the center. They make the pages fold out to poster-size. They don't just SKETCH in this little bitty sketchbook, they transform it.! How ironic that I'm in the middle of an altered book project with my 6th graders that seems to be going on FOREVER, and now I've got my own and I don't know where to start.
I'll keep you posted on my progress (or lack thereof)!
9 comments:
I am feeling the same way and my sketchbook hasn't even arrived yet!! I did stumble on some inspiring sketchbook/journaling sites this morning, though. Have you heard of Danny Gregory? (http://dannygregory.com/category/journals/) I loved looking through the journal pages that he shares at this link!!ReplyDelete
I would feel the same way. So much so, in fact, that I'm not even entering. Ha! Good luck.ReplyDelete
I have 14 5th and 6th graders that are participating in this project. I am hoping our sketchbooks arrive next week, then we can get to work! It does seem very intimidating, especially the thought of trying to get the students to really think outside the box. I'm sure I will be pleasantly surprised at their creativity! I'll be participating also, so hopefully they can be my inspiration!ReplyDelete
I love it when the tables turn. You are going to get to feel like a student which is a really scary feeling! I had the same problem when I went to a workshop where we had to create art in an hour. I was freaking out and thought how do my students do this?ReplyDelete
Wish I had time to join you but I've got too many projects working.ReplyDelete
Erica, you've got the biggest project of all growing inside you right now - and there's nothing more important than that one!ReplyDelete
So exciting! A couple of friends and myself joined as well. My book arrived a month or so ago, haven't touched it yet...but I have lots of ideas...just need the time! Love to hear about everyone's progress. Best of luck ♥ReplyDelete
The Sketchbook Project looks like so much fun!. I am extremely tempted to do one as well, but I just don't know how I would find the time to do it.ReplyDelete
It is so exciting that you are signed up for this. I am going to give this some serious consideration since the deadline to order a book has been extended.ReplyDelete

Grand Master
Alex Anatole
Grand Master
The Master came because it was his time to be born.Chuang Tzu
Grand Master Alex Anatole was born in Moscow, Russia. At a young age, he was introduced to Master Lu Yang Tai, the "Enlightened One," a Taoist sage with genealogical lineage extending to the ancient origins of Taoism. From the age of eight, Alex was his only disciple, learning all aspects of the Great Art — philosophy, healing, martial arts, astrology, and religious procedures. After twenty years he was ordained a Taoist priest, building several underground Taoist temples in Russia — hidden from the religious persecution of Soviet times. Eventually his spiritual activities became known to the authorities and he fled to the United States. This was foretold by prophesy with his given Taoist name of I Yan Lung, "He who brings true Tao to the West."
In 1976 Grand Master Anatole immigrated to the United States. Near Boston, he built the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies and its Temple of Original Simplicity, recognized as one of the few authentic Taoist temples outside China. It maintains close ties to the few surviving temples in Shanghai while Master Anatole continues the tradition of imparting Taoism through a classical program of philosophy, religion, meditation, and Chi Quong. Initially, he adopted a quiet approach to teaching Taoism but observed with great concern the distorted teachings of his beloved faith. Motivated by a desire to preserve ancient Taoism in its purest form, he writes and lectures throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
Grand Master Anatole has a PhD from Moscow University and his temple has been profiled in numerous studies, including Harvard's Pluralism Project. He is the author of The Truth of Tao.

The Truth of Tao Reveals Taoism's Ancient Secrets
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is one of the most widely read books in the history of mankind, second only to Christianity's Holy Bible. And yet for twenty-six hundred years, its teachings have been shrouded in mystery and subject to conflicting interpretations. Now, for the first time, the secrets of this powerful religious and philosophical system are explained to the American audience in a way that is understandable and practical. Grand Master Anatole takes the reader on a journey of enlightenment, eliminating the confusions of Western and Eastern cultural values, explaining the principles of Lao Tzu's teachings and how to apply them in every day life. In the Truth of Tao, Taoism's elegant system logically unfolds, uniting the physical, mental and spiritual realms until ultimately the purpose of life is revealed. The book is now available in English and Russian editions, with a Chinese translation underway.

The Essence of Tao
Taoism is codified in the Tao Te Ching, which was written in the sixth century B.C. by the ancient sage Lao Tzu. Despite being history's second-most translated book after the Bible, its eighty-one poems have often been interpreted with confusing, contradictory, and sometimes blatantly incorrect explanations. The Essence of Tao removes the mystery surrounding this important philosophy and religion by reordering the core poems of the Tao Te Ching into a logical framework based on Taoism's nine core principles and then explaining these principles in easy-to-understand language. Grand Master Anatole uses ancient and formerly "secret keys" to help unlock Lao Tzu's mysteries, including Taoism's famous paradoxes. The Essence of Tao will help the reader get a clear view of reality in order to create a content existence.

Tao of Celestial Foxes – The Way to Immortality (vol 1-3)
The Creed of the Foxes dates back thousands of years. The worship of gods known as foxes is based on a belief in animistic, foxlike, spiritual deities that are part of the cultural and religious fabric of Asia. To clarify the underlying principles of the Fox tradition, Master Anatole creates for the reader a framework of understanding that focuses on ancient Chinese and Japanese History yet encompasses a structure of beliefs shared by Shamanistic cultures that span the world. Master Anatole also provides a compendium of related aspects from a wide range of culturally and historically diverse practices to illustrate the common beliefs regarding the moving energies of the soul after death, while demystifying Taoist correlative cosmology – the basis for all Taoist and Fox metaphysics. Ultimately, he builds to the logical conclusion that the purpose of our lives is to achieve intellectual evolution and spiritual immortality.

A Synopsis of Taoist Teachings for the West
Over the last 33 years literally thousands of people have studied with Grandmaster Alex Anatole at the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies – Temple of Original Simplicity. It has been brought to the attention of the Center that certain people are using the name of Grandmaster Alex Anatole and the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies – Temple of Original Simplicity claiming affiliation to use the Grandmaster's credentials for commercial purposes.
In the last 33 years Grandmaster Alex Anatole has only ordained two students that are officially certified to teach Taoism, and their names are withheld due to privacy issues. Anyone else claiming affiliation or using the name of Grandmaster Alex Anatole or the Center of Traditional Taoist Studies – Temple of Original Simplicity for commercial purposes is a charlatan and an imposter.
The Center of Traditional Taoist Studies – Temple of Original Simplicity will not tolerate the use of Grandmaster Alex Anatole or the Center in a way that misrepresents Grandmaster Alex Anatole's or the Center's relationship with any current or former student. Further, Grandmaster Alex Anatole's standing as a legitimate Taoist priest demands that credentials related to Taoist priesthood be verified prior to dissemination.

Taoist exhibition in Paris, France
In May 2010 Grand Master Alex Anatole was invited to attend an exhibition devoted to Taoism in Paris, France. "The Way of Tao" (La Vole du Tao) — which means Another Path of Being was held in Paris at Galeries nationales du Grand Palais near the Champs-Elysées. This beautiful exhibition gave Western visitors an introduction to a totally unfamiliar way of thinking and the concept of Man's place in the universe. Displaying several hundreds of Taoist artifacts such as paintings, sculpture, pottery, bronze and textiles, the exhibition allowed visitors to see and understand how Taoism has developed over the centuries, based on some fundamental guiding principles. The collection of artifacts came from the Musée Guimet in Europe, the United States and Taiwan. "La Vole du Tao", the first monumental exhibition of this kind in Europe, was a successful attempt to visualize Taoism, presenting the mix of philosophy, religion and popular Taoist beliefs that has influenced life in China for more than two millenniums.

Tips for Using Career Connections
NOTE: This system is best accessed for the first time through hard-wired connection. If you encounter problems, clear your cache and try again.
Post a resumé. Although you can access summer/seasonal, internship, and full-time opportunities after simply registering on CC, employers tell us that it is frustrating when a student/alumnus does not include a resumé. They want detailed information about your qualifications and most likely will not contact individuals who do not provide it. We highly recommend that you take time to post your resumé if you want to be seriously considered by employers.
Prior to posting your resume, send it to email@example.com for a review by our resume review team or schedule an appointment to have it reviewed in person or virtually by calling +1 814 393 2323. Uploaded resumes that have not been reviewed by the career development center may take an additional 3-5 business days to process. If your resume requires many changes, it may delay approval.
When you update your resumé, be sure to upload the new resumé to your online account.
Update your account profiles at the end of each semester.
Update your "anticipated" college graduate date on your account profile. Employers often search for candidates by Graduate Date. If you do not list your anticipated college graduation date, you may miss out on opportunities.

Why are we using Career Connections (CC)?
Many of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education institutions partner with Symplicity which enables us to provide free online services to students, alumni, and employers. Clarion University is part of this collaborative project.
Disclaimer: The Career Connection Network is a clearinghouse of information regarding job and experiential education opportunities. The listing of a position should not be interpreted as an endorsement. The Center for Career and Professional Development is not responsible for safety, wages, working conditions, or other various aspects of employment.
Due to the volume of job announcements posted to the PA State System universities, Clarion University's Center for Career and Professional Development is unable to research the integrity of each person or organization that lists an internship or job on Career Connection's database. Therefore, students and alumni should personally research openings and organizations prior to submitting a resume to an organization or entering into any employment agreements.

Jennifer and Ikaika were about the best I've ever seen them and there were fine performances from Manish, Toni, and our host Maria. Headliner Chris Clobber's set had some sparkling material even I hadn't heard before. Oh yeah, and I wasn't bad if I say so myself.

Currents Literary Magazine
Currents is a Drury student-produced literary magazine that cycles new issues around campus twice a year. Sometimes Currents has a theme, and sometimes it doesn't. If you are human and have a small splotch of creativity and are a Drury student, you should submit. The Currents staff continually accepts submissions of fiction, non-fiction, essay/review, interview, poetry, comics, art, and photography. New issues can be found in random buildings around campus and are always free to students, faculty, and staff.
Created in the pre-Gutenburg Age (OK, pre-Facebook Age) by Drury student Eric Ferguson, Currents has transformed from a "punk" idea to a widespread and subversive forum for creativity. Eric envisioned irreverence and free-form, but never did he imagine that the publication would persist and grow to circulate over 200 copies an issue.

Letters to the Editor
FPL is advancing solar power in Florida
Humor and hyperbole aside, Fred Grimm's Oct. 26 column, Utilities stay shady in the Sunshine State, was so shockingly misinformed.
The column parrots an anti-utility lobbying PAC — the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE). To back up his outlandish claims, Grimm cites a shoddy "study" without acknowledging that the same anti-utility lobbyists whose claims he promotes actually admitted to paying to have the study done.
What's completely missing from the discussion is what matters to most people: cost.
Grimm laments that Florida should be more like other states, highlighting Georgia along with "California or New York or New England or New Jersey or North Carolina" in terms of putting solar panels on rooftops. He doesn't mention the fact that electric rates in each of these states are significantly higher than what Florida Power & Light charges.
For example, in New England, rates average about 50 percent to 90 percent higher.
In New York, electricity costs 80 percent to 95 percent more for a typical customer. And in California, electricity costs more than double what it does in FPL's service territory.
Perhaps even more egregious is his claim that Florida only has "a few token solar operations." We've been investing in solar power for years, and we've announced plans to build 225 megawatts of new solar in the near future without charging our customers the rates that people pay in New England or California.
In 2009, FPL built the state's first major solar power plant in DeSoto County. When the plant entered service, it was the largest of its kind in the nation. In the coming years, our plan is to build at least three more solar plants, each of which will be about triple its size. FPL also built the world's first solar-natural gas hybrid power plant.
The plant generates as much as it can from solar energy, and at night or when it's cloudy, the plant uses more clean, U.S.-produced natural gas to keep Floridians lights on and air conditioners running.
So far, we've invested hundreds of millions of dollars into advancing solar in Florida, and we produce more energy from solar than many states. No matter where you're from, that's no token amount.
At FPL, we are proud to operate one of the cleanest, most reliable electricity systems in the nation while keeping our rates well below the national average, and we work hard to improve every day for our customers.
Buck Martinez, senior director,
Office of Clean Energy,
Florida Power & Light Co.,

The building sector is the largest energy consumer in Europe, representing 40% of the total EU consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU, according to EC statistical data. By improving the energy efficiency of buildings, the total EU energy consumption could be reduced by 5-6% and lower CO2 emissions by about 5%.
The main objective of the S3 Partnership on Sustainable Buildings is to create an alliance between European regions to boost new markets and take advantage of regional opportunities for specialisation. The partnership is led by Andalusia (ES) and North Great Plain (HU), and 43 other European regions or countries are currently participating or have shown interest in joining.
Three main reference themes for interregional collaboration have been identified:
1) Eco-construction, bioclimatism and insulation of buildings,
2) Renewable energy integration in buildings,
3) Systems of maximum energy efficiency in buildings and cities
The next steps of the partnership comprise the creation of working groups for each reference theme, the mapping of the capacities, resources available and relevant actors in the participating regions, and the establishment of synergies and interregional collaborations for the implementation of concrete pilot projects and actions.

I'm no actor says Farrell
He may be a star of the big screen with a string of hit movies to his name, but Colin Farrell doesn't regard himself as an actor.
Although the Dublin-born star of Tigerland, Phone Booth and In Bruges says he loves his work, he says nothing gives him greater happiness than when he with his two sons.
"I'm loving work," said Farrell in an interview with Total Film magazine. "I think I love the work now more than I ever have.
"I identify, ironically, less with it. It's not that it means less than to me. I just identify less with it, being an actor… with it having a relevance to my work as a man.
"I think with that has come a sense of freedom that allows you to engage with the work on a deeper and a less personal level. And then when I'm not working, I'm out of it. I've nothing to do with it. I'm with my boys. It's like, 'Are you an actor?'
"'No, but I act sometimes, and I get paid to do it, but I'm not an actor.'"
"The path doesn't feel dissimilar. The buildings on the left and the buildings on the right, and the street shortly ahead, might look a little bit different; but honest to God, I feel like I'm doing the same thing I've attempted to do for 20 years… It's such a crap shoot, you know?" he said.
"I could look at Rotten Tomatoes and go, 'Oh! There was a period where I had four 'Rotten' – it's just now I'm on a period where I have two 'Fresh' in a row.'"
Latest films
Farrell's love of work is certainly having a positive impact. His latest two films, The Beguiled and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, are both receiving excellent reviews.
Directed by Sofia Copolla, The Beguiled is a re-make of a Clint Eastwood film set during the American Civil War and focuses on a an injured union soldier imprisoned in a Confederate girls' boarding school. Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst also star.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a psychological thriller co-produced by Irish film company Element Pictures, and sees Farrell again link up with Kidman.

Internet service provider (ISP), Internode has furthered its negotiations with Telstra for more equitable wholesale pricing, following concerns the ISP's managing director, Simon Hackett, has aired in previous months.
Internode this week announced price cuts to a number of its ADSL broadband plans, in addition to increased data quotas, delivered over Telstra wholesale ports. The new plans close the gap between those customers on Telstra ports, as opposed to those on better value plans delivered over Optus' wholesale network or Internode's own DSLAM equipment.
However, Hacket told Computerworld Australia that pricing is still "nowhere near equitable".
"This just an interim improvement on the path to proper resolution of the current vertical price squeeze," Hackett said.
According to Hackett, negotiations are continuing with Telstra wholesale on "pretty much" a daily basis.
"I have spoken with many people at Telstra in detail on this issue, that includes David Thodey.
"My position is abundantly clear within Telstra," he said. "The ball is now in their court to resolve the issues that exist."
In order to simplify ongoing pricing difference, Internode has also applied a two-tier pricing structure on the Home-Fast2 broadband plans. Zone 1 exchanges, where Telstra is forced to compete with alternative DSLAM networks will feature lower prices than zones 2 and 3, where Telstra currently has a monopoly on wholesale.
In August, Hackett acknowledged "substantial" upgrades to its broadband plans were on the way, however noted the plans would only be offered once pricing agreements with Telstra wholesale had been resolved, over whose equipment Internode currently resells ADSL2+ in areas it has not installed its own DSLAMs.
At the time, Hackett speculated that Telstra Wholesale was giving some retail internet service providers better deals and "playing favourites", because they hadn't built out their own competitive broadband infrastructure as some, like Internode, TPG and iiNet had.
Prompted by these complaints, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) published an open letter stating that there might be a case for 'declaration', or tighter regulation, of Telstra's ADSL broadband services.
