Aka, the kinda stupid and incredibly exhausting 14 movies straight with no sleep--part 2!
So the fabulous Del Mar theater in Santa Cruz has done an amazing event for the past three years--a movie marathon of secret never-shown-in-Santa Cruz (but possibly in SF and elsewhere in the bay area) movies. I missed the first year, but last year was awesome. This year they've added a sixth movie so it's midnight to noon. Here was the rundown:
First up was "Lars and the Real Girl", starring Ryan Gosling, who after "Half Nelson" is one of the most interesting young actors around today. Here he plays the title role (Lars, not the real girl) a sweet natured but shy young man in a small Canadian town. He lives in the converted garage of his brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer), and only comes out for work (where co-worker Margo, played by Kelli Garner, has an obvious crush on him) or church (where Margo can't keep her eyes off him from the choir). One day at work a co-worker shows him the Real Doll website (NSFW). So he orders one, but when it arrives things get weird. He doesn't have sex with it, he tells his Gus and Karin that he has a visitor from out of town whom he met on the Internet. They're both very religious and so could she sleep in the house instead of the garage? When they meet "Bianca", they're a bit taken aback. But they convince Lars to take "her" to the hospital to get a checkup. The doctor (Patricia Clarkson) sees nothing wrong with Bianca except maybe low blood pressure, and she should come over for medicine every few days. While she's there, resting for an hour after she takes her medicine, Lars and the doctor should talk. In the meantime, the doctor advises everyone else to play along, because this is how Lars is dealing with his issues (later we learn that human touch is psychosomatically painful to him, and it has something to do with his mom dying giving birth to him and his father being distant at best as a result). The doctor's advice might well be given to the audience, because as Bianca becomes a pillar of the society--volunteering at the hospital, joining clubs, etc., if you don't go along with this main premise then the characters will just seem painfully dumb. But if you go along with it, there's real humor, romance, and pathos. Very sweet, and a little sad.
Next up was a short and a feature. The feature was Wes Anderson's new brothers-finding-themselves rail movie, "The Darjeeling Limited", and the short was a prequel to it, "Hotel Chevalier", which is apparently available online and feature Natalie Portman naked (that oughta boost the hits on this blog! For the record, nice ass, nice side-boob, but needs a sammich. I only want to see that many ribs if their on my plate slathered in BBQ sauce). The shorts a simple little story of a man (Jason Schwartzman) living in a hotel in Paris. His ex-girlfriend (Natalie Portman) tracks him down and spends one day with him, having sex with him no matter how cruel he is to her. It's a fine example of Wes Anderson's scene-crafting ability, and exemplifies exactly what I love about "The Darjeeling Limited". Namely, I love that this wasn't in the feature film. Wes Anderson has always had a talent for crafting scenes, but I've always thought his films meander with too many excellent stand-alone scenes that don't really move anything forward--they're just there to spend a few more minutes with the characters. Before "The Darjeeling Limited", I though "Rushmore" came the closest to actually telling a story without a lot of unneeded scenes. Fans of "The Royal Tenenbaums" or "The LIfe Aquatic with Steve Zissou" might find "The Darjeeling Limited" light, but I liked the fact that every scene moves the movie forward and there's nothing that doesn't need to be there. You should see "Hotel Chevalier" before "The Darjeeling Limited", because you'll notice a handful of inside jokes that wouldn't mean anything (but also wouldn't distract) without it. It also makes Portman's half-second of screen time meaningful. Anyway, I loved this movie and I think it marks the change of Wes Anderson from an undisciplined wunderkind to an accomplished filmmaker. Oh, and setting it in India makes the recurring Kumar Pallana cameos pretty seemless--he's just a guy on a train. Oh, and I guess I should say something about the plot. Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody, and Owen Wilson are brothers who haven't spoken since their father's funeral. Owen Wilson convinces them to go on this trip to "find themselves" and reconnect. But he has an ulterior motive--finding the mother who abandoned them.
Oh yeah, and this was my 365th movie of the year. No matter what else happens, I've officially averaged over one movie a day for the year.
Next up was "The Signal", which I had already seen at the SF International Film Festival (scroll to the bottom, it was the late movie). I'll pretty much stand by my review, but add that somehow I was more awake for this screening and got more out of it (thanks a lot, free Stella Artois!) Specifically, I really keyed in on the fact that although everyone is going crazy and killing each other, each person thinks himself sane. If everyone else has gone crazy and is likely to kill you, it's sane to kill them first. Very interesting.
And then the west coast premiere of Richard Kelly's eagerly awaited "Southland Tales" (as in, it was supposed to be released a year ago, but tanked at Cannes and the distributor didn't know what to do with it). It's coming out on November 7th, and I'm predicting it will tank here. It's a bloated, mess, but a hilarious mess. I don't know if I can judge it until I've read the graphic novels (oh yeah, they had a raffle at the end but no one would take the "Southland Tales" merchandise, so I got the graphic novels and a poster for free), seen the movie a few more times, and watched Richard Kelly's next five movies to see how it fits into his obsessions. It's a frantic mish-mash of nonsensical intersecting stories taking place over 3 apocalyptic days around Los Angeles. It's 2008, and the terrorist nuking of Texas two years ago has created a Republican majority and an expansion of the Patriot Act. The election will come down to California, where the Republicans are counting on the popularity of action star and presidential candidate's son-in-law Boxer Santoros (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Problem is, he's missing. Or he's shacking up with ex porn-star turned talk show pundit and recording artist Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Ummm...Justin Timberlake watches over everything from a gun turret mounted on the Santa Monica Pier (and facing the city, not the sea). Sean William Scott is twins, one of whom is a cop and one of whom is with the opposition--the neo-Marxists. There's sci-fi, political blather (although there's not really a political point beyond 'everyone is selfish and stupid on both sides'), time travel, super powers, inside jokes, etc. Basically it's 2.5 hours of Richard Kelly masturbating in your face. I just haven't decided yet if that's a bad thing. Probably it is, but I see this movie's one hope as being rediscovered as a "lost cult classic" 20 years from now, provided Richard Kelly has made movies more often than every 5 years, and provided some of them are more approachable and he becomes a cult director with a David Cronenberg/David Lynch type oeuvre. At that point, someone will look back at "Southland Tales" and say "I get it now!" For now, I'll just hope this colossal mess doesn't doom the chance of that happening. I am still eagerly anticipating "The Box".
Next up was "Fido", which I've seen twice. It's still awesome!
And finally, the bonus never-done-before sixth movie was a Hong Kong action flick, "Exiled" by Johnny To. I have to confess, I dozed off a bit at the start, so I didn't quite follow the setup, but I'm pretty sure this will end up in my DVD collection. It takes place on Macau where there are rival gangs shooting at each other (and a completely ineffectual cop who drops by for comic relief). There's a lot of impressive gunfights and blood spray. There's a character who has tried to get out of crime and lives with his wife and baby, and there are hit men sent to take him out, and others who try to stop them. It ends with a robbery of a ton of gold (although none of the gangsters know how much a ton is), and a final showdown with the wife and baby. Pretty good, but I was pretty freakin' tired.
Of course, that didn't stop me, as I drove back up to Fremont, fighting exhaustion, hallucinations, nausea, and traffic to make it to the BART in time to get back to Docfest. But that's a story for another post.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I noticed three of the movies ("Lars and the Real Girl", "The Darjeeling Limited", and "Fido") featured parent figures who were either absent (or dead) or unreliable. I wonder if Scott, who chose the movies for this and midnight movies at the Del Mar, has some sort of mommy and/or daddy issues.

well the amazing cool product i found (and followed the instructions too) didn't work out quite like I planned. I'm still going to make my kiddos (I love saying I will have 2!) a quilt it just won't have photos on it. 😦 Unless I can get super creative. When I cut out the squares for the photos they were crooked. 😦 mas triste. Thats the great thing about them being little and in utero..neither can be disappointed. ha ha!!
So there are the fabrics I'm really excited. Especially since Hanna has all of a sudden decided that blankets are way cool. She brings down a different one each time from nap you wouldn't think that a 15 month old could insist on bringing it down… oh but she does
I got some orange to go with it. notice the sweet "helper" and hey even baby kyle got in the photo a little bit! 🙂 i'm gonna have my hands full!
Well we decided as crammed as we are and will be…we are going to put off moving for 6 more months and just do another lease here at the apartment. One less thing to stress about and we can use what we are saving for a deposit for more baby furniture…still searching for a white toddler bed if anyone has any ideas. I was thinking of getting a bassinet instead of using our pack in play..any advice? is it better? I was just thinking its smaller and won't take up as much space and we will have the pack and play free for downstairs…
We had some snow this morning…mostly ice..its all gone now of course 🙂
Well little miss Hanna is ready for her dinner and I want to get cutting pieces so I better get off of here. Hope everyone has a great rest of the Thursday!

BREAKING NEWS: LTC Lakin Withdraws His Appeal From Art. 66 Review
We have it on good information that LTC Lakin has apparently withdrawn his appeal from review by the Army Court of Criminal Appeals. LTC Lakin hinted at waiving his appeal when released from confinement (prior post here). So this isn't shocking news, but strange timing. Anyone heard similar information?
2 Responses to "BREAKING NEWS: LTC Lakin Withdraws His Appeal From Art. 66 Review"
The only "confirmation" I have heard is a post by Dwight Sullivan at The Fogbow which stated the same information.
Dwight has also posted a link to the transcript of LTC Lakin's legal proceedings. Fascinating stuff!

Ten states—New York, California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin— filed suit yesterday against the Environmental Protection Agency in the District of Columbia's Court of Appeals over global warming & power plant pollution issues. At issue primarily is EPA's final rule on standards for electric utility steam generating facilities built after Sept. 1978. (See 71 FR 9866)
States filed a similar action on automobile emissions last year to which the Court sided with the EPA. (State of New York v. EPA, D.C.Cir., No. 021387A, June 24, 2005).

I had a ticket for running a red light.
The intersection was restricted due to construction. The speed limit was 30 miles an hour. There was a police car in the left turn lane, but with his tail of his car sticking out into lane 1.
Knowing the intersection and the light was about to turn, I looked over my left shoulder assuring a car would not try to beat it through lane one and possibly shove me over. Just a quick look over my shoulder and back. When I took my eyes off the intersection, I was about 15' from the intersection and the light was green. I traveled the distance and when I looked back the light was red and I was already entering the intersection. What happened to yellow?
The police car immediately took pursuit and gave me a ticket.
I took the ticket and pled not guilty.
In the meantime, I went to the intersection with a stop watch. The time the light was yellow was 1.5 seconds. I spoke to the City Engineer and the size of the intersection dictated the time for the yellow was 3 seconds. I asked for and received a letter from the Engineer and presented that with my statement to the court.
I was found not-guilty.

Levi Strauss was squatting around a campfire with a brand new pair of riveted jeans. He was asking the cowboy companions how they liked the rivet reinforced jeans. The Cowboys said they were fine, but they would automatically remove the one in the crotch area. Mr. Strauss was confused as this seam took most of the strain during work, and that seam was most likely to split. The Cowboys said it was because of the "Hot Rivet Syndrome." The Cowboys explained that squatting at a fire as they were, that particular rivet would heat up and burn a particularly sensitive area in the male anatomy. Shortly, Levi Strauss leaped up and went screaming into the night. Yep, he was a victim of the Hot Rivet Syndrome. He enjoyed the rest of his trip and when he went back to the factory, immediately ordering the crotch rivet be removed from the production of his famous jeans. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

text: I found a local hobby breeder that sold me 5 maran chicks!! 4 are black copper and one is a blue copper. He also gave me 2 hatching eggs that are halfway incubated for free which was really nice of him! I have been looking for about a year for some of this breed, and now I have some!! They are really happy gentle chicks... It is obvious he handled them a lot. Only way I could be happier is if they where steady laying, but I am just so pleased to have some in my flock!

Carazzo pleads guilty to striking
Carlton midfielder Andrew Carrazzo has accepted a one-match AFL suspension after pleading guilty to two separate striking charges.
Both instances occurred during Sunday's preseason cup loss to the Western Bulldogs.
The one-game ban will rule Carrazzo out of Saturday's clash against the Brisbane Lions in Maroochydore.
Carrazzo was reported for striking Bulldogs Patrick Veszpremi and Shaun Higgins.
The midfielder's previous good behaviour was cited as a reason for his slender ban.

Pakistan reverses decision to close Save the Children charity – BBC News
Pakistan has suspended moves to close the national branch of the charity Save the Children.
The move by the interior ministry comes days after the charity's main office in the capital Islamabad was shut down by police.
No formal reason was given for the action and there has been no official comment on the reversal.
Officials have previously accused the charity of involvement in "anti-state activities".
Pakistan had linked the charity to a fake vaccination programme used by the CIA to track down Osama Bin Laden.
Save the Children has always denied being involved with the CIA or Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi, who carried out the programme.
'Foreign funding'
A Save the Children spokesperson told the BBC on Sunday that the charity welcomed the government's decision.
About 1,200 Pakistanis work for Save the Children, but no foreign staff have been in the country for the past 18 months.
Speaking after the charity's offices were shut last Thursday, Pakistan Interior Minister Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan said NGOs were operating beyond their remit with backing from US, Israel and India.
He said local NGOs that used foreign funding to implement a foreign agenda in Pakistan "should be scared".
Save the Children said at the time it "strongly objected" to the closure and it was "raising serious concerns at the highest levels".
The US State Department also expressed concern over the closure.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison firefighters got a call for a rare and happy emergency Wednesday morning.
There wasn't enough time to get to a hospital, so firefighters delivered a baby for the first time this year.
Normally paramedics would respond to a call like this, but the firefighters said they got lots of calls in a short time Wednesday morning.
It's a moment firefighters train for but don't usually expect to go through.
New mother, Laquesa Miller, is at the hospital now, but she didn't get there as soon as she'd like.
"I was crying because I didn't want to have her at home," Miller said. "I was too scared to have her at home."
Father, Oluremi Coggs, called 911 Wednesday morning at about 11:40 a.m. when he and Miller realized their baby girl was coming fast.
"I know I'm going to see a miracle, but now I have to help this miracle?" Coggs said.
Short of a firefighter and paramedics who were already responding to emergencies, Engine Company 9 rushed to the Madison home on Craig Avenue.
"We started going through our procedures on the way to the call, check our equipment," said Lt. Gordon Berggren with the Madison Fire Department.
"In the back of my head I'm saying, 'Come on, come on, come on fire engine, choo choo train something, somebody come," Coggs said.
"When I walked through, he was very excited," Berggren said. "He was glad we were there."
"When they came, she came out," Miller said.
At six pounds and seven ounces, Affinity was born with no complications. She is the first baby of the year delivered by Madison firefighters.
It is only the fourth time Berggren has helped deliver a baby in his 24 years as a Madison firefighter.
"A lot of credit goes to the mom. She did most of the work," Berggren said.
Miller said her mom gave birth to two of her children at home too.
"She kept telling me, 'You better hope you don't have her at home.' I think she jinxed me a little bit," Miller said.
She is spending the night with her new baby girl at St. Mary's Hospital.
She hopes they will go home on Thursday.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison firefighters delivered a baby girl Wednesday morning.
Fire officials say Engine Company 9 arrived at a home on Craig Avenue at 11:40 a.m. Wednesday. The baby's head was crowning when firefighters arrived. Lt. Gordon Berggren, Apparatus Engineer David Wagner, and Firefighter Dan Madden were there to help deliver the healthy baby girl.
Medic 9 arrived moments later and transported mom and baby to St. Mary's Hospital.
This is the fourth birth and delivery for Berggren in his 24 years as a Madison firefighter.
The members of the fire crew will receive pink stork pins from the Madison Fire Department.

Sildenafil citrate is the active moiety of Filagra 50 mg. It inhibits phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) which is an enzyme used to degrade the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP plays a vital role in penile erection and helping the men to achieve a satisfying erection. cGMP controls the tissues and muscles of the cell lining of the penis.

Last night I had what I will label a unity dream. Towards the end of the dream a large number of people and I hugged. Before that I seemed to be searching for something with another woman while we travelled hither and yon.
I'm not recalling many details and this dream does not seem worth recording but the unity aspect feels significant.

Tarzan's Nature!
Got my eager mitts on the volume of Tarzan - The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips Volume Two: 169-1971 a few days ago. It's simply astounding to look at and realize just how stinking good Russ Manning was. His Tarzan is a romanticized icon, the living perfection of man living among the brutish denizens of the wild confronted by bizarre and sometimes alluring creatures.
Part of the attraction of the Tarzan character is wish-fulfillment, the desire by most of us citizens of a modern world which demands our compliance in character and behavior to act out, to do the unthinkable and make our unfiltered will stick on the broader world. Tarzan does that.
Freed of the a civilized upbringing he is a feral creature who camouflages himself as one of us, but who despite his handsome demeanor is a beast, more than willing and more than capable of tearing out our throat if he fancied. Tarzan is uncontrollable, save when he allows himself to be controlled by Jane, the love of his life.
Burroughs always had Tarzan lose his memory, a convenient plot device, but also a story element which points back to Tarzan's fundamental essence as a creature merely posing as a man.
All of that is captured in these sleek, beautiful pages by Russ Manning for the Tarzan comic strip from the end of the sixties into the earliest seventies. These are awesome comics, well worth the price of admission.

I realise how it sounds. I've said it before and seen the reaction, but I stand by it. If you are concerned about pace, if critiquers have redflagged it as an issue in your work, it won't help you to think about it.
The problem is the word tends to be conceived as a consideration of speed. If you look at the traditional advice that tends to crop up it all deals with getting things moving more quickly and they tend as a matter of course to approach it from a mechanical point of view:
Shorter words will lead to shorter sentences, shorter sentences will lead to shorter scenes, shorter scenes will lead to shorter chapters and shorter chapters will lead them to the end quicker.
And I wouldn't necessarily say they are wrong. The shorter the journey the faster you reach your destination. The question is, does it make the destination any more interesting?
Pace for me is always a matter not of speed but of engagement. When I read stuff that I remember as very 'pacey', it doesn't technically read any different from any other bit, its just I was excited by what was happening and eager to get to a resolution. A writer thinking about pace is putting their attention in the wrong place.
Pace lies in the hands of the reader. Their emotions, their engagement, their need to know what happens next. Understanding pace means understanding how your reader will engage with your story. If you aren't raising questions, and getting them hungry to know how they will resolve, it doesn't matter how short your scenes are, their attention will wander.
Perhaps a better way of putting it is to divide it into scene pacing versus story pacing.
Scene pacing is what generally plagues most writers and fills blog posts on the subject, and it focuses almost exclusively on the mechanics, the block elements employed. Advice such as trim unnecessary words, isn't bad advice, though what's unnecessary is hotly debated, its just good advice for all writing and all paces. The notion that the reader will somehow accept wandering and pointless prose, filled with excess words which add nothing to the tone, character, or story, as long as its broken up by staccato sequences, is a dangerous one. All writing should be consistently interesting and flow well.
I try to leave out the bits readers skip ~ Elmore Leonard
Story pacing on the other hand is essentially a plot issue, only one that never seems to get addressed as such. And this is to my mind to its detriment. I have seem many a formula -lover cite a book or blog or you-tube series on creating the perfect structure but I've yet to encounter one who conceives the underlying principle which is to sustain and increase engagement in what is unfolding.
The pace varies within a novel, depending on the emotion the author wants the readers to experience at any given time – Marilyn R Henderson
How you set up the main plot, when to weave in subplots, how long you hold out on resolution for each, how often you feed the main story, how can you both resolve and yet maintain it as a thread of tension, are some of the questions we should be asking. Not 'how quickly am I moving from action set piece to action set piece'.
The one time you will see content rather than mechanics dealt with they will inevitably raise the idea that action is what creates pace and by this they generally mean, fights, chases, explosions. The true Hollywood definition of action. While description or talking and reminiscing are generally considered a good way to slow things down. And the easiest way to refute this is with a nice cosy Agatha Christie. We spend the entire book hungry to get to the denouement, that bit where a wee man with big moustaches stands and talks at us, telling us everything we've already seen.
As with Show and Tell, pace is an effect, one which has unlimited tools at its disposal. We run into serious problems when we start to assign narrative elements rigid roles within our stories. Description as shown in Stephen Kings The Replicators, can be also be action and build delicious amounts of tension. Action itself, in that true Hollywood sense, is often rather stagnant. It is the decisions that precipitated it and the consequences it results in that we are truly interested in and an overemphasis on drawing out the action means that you are drawing out a series of movements that stand between us and what we want to know. And if we don't think through those decisions and consequences, if this isn't where our attention as writers is focused, the attention of our readers will wander. I tend to think of that old Kit Kat advert with the two gun fighters, rise shoot duck, rise shoot duck, rise shoot duck.. until they just give up and have a kitkat and we understand fully why, because we are as bored as they are.
Or consider Harry Potter. I can remember exactly how I was feeling as I read the end third of The Prisoner of Azkaban. The bouncing that bed seen, it had never seen before.. yet Rowling never skimmed on detail (ever) and most of what we were given was in essence backstory. What we are seeing is several discrete sub plots start to tie up, answers to puzzling developments being given, a kind of nexus of story strands, answer tumbling after answer.
"I don't know how I did it", he said slowly. "I think the only reason I never lost my mind is that I knew I was innocent. That wasn't a happy thought, so the Dementors couldn't suck it out of me.. so it kept me sane and knowing who I was."
If we are to consider any notion of speed when it comes to pace it should be the rate at which we raise and answer questions. And if I were forced to be all technical and anal about it I'd divide it down like this.
Slow: setting up the main questions… Who is Sirius Black? Why is he after Harry?
Medium: we start to see those questions being answered, raising more questions, threatening consequences.. demerits for pissing off a tree..
Fast pace: we risk those consequences – decide to chase the Dog, save the ginger..
Fastest pace: the ultimate consequence, when it all comes together (doesn't have to be under the whomping willow, although I'm not averse to making this the official Denouement spot….)
The important point is that it is a cumulative effect. Each one depends on what we do in the others, if we fail to set up the story and the subplots correctly the consequences will be as dull as reading the dictionary, because they will be out of context and we won't have developed any emotional investment. No pace is an opportunity for indulging in the unnecessary. If you haven't set things up correctly, developed strategically, then you won't have created that most vital tension, that between the reader and the story, their need to know and its need to withhold.
Maybe I should divide it up like this
Slow: mmm intriguing..
Medium: feed yourselves, cats are supposed to be smart..
Fast: TELLL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Franz Schubert's friend Franz von Bruchmann returned to Vienna in 1821 from his studies in Erlangen, he brought with him August von Platen's Ghaselen just off the press. Soon after, Schubert set two Platen texts. A reviewer for the Leipzig Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung singled out "Die Liebe hat gelogen" as particularly incomprehensible, in part because he found Schubert's radical harmony to be unmotivated by the text. The daring harmonic language of the second Platen song has struck even recent critics as excessive, yet none have addressed the textual motivation for Schubert's extreme expression. Both poems concern ill-fated homosexual love, "Du liebst mich nicht" most explicitly, if obliquely: the poem is a veiled reflection on the myth of Narcissus, a myth Platen frequently drew on as a symbol for his own homosexuality.

"It's Day 7. Time to think about vowels, with your fingers. Prosaically."
The poetry prompt for day seven of Writing 201 is "fingers."
The form is "prose."
The device is "assonance."
My husband and oldest son are potters so guess what I've written about today!
The Potter's Hands
Fingers moving through mud, sliding over the surface, shaping. Pressuring first, then gliding openness. Encouraging growth, upward, outward, from the center. Conjuring form from the formless. Subtly nudging, guiding the nameless to become something with a name. Something useful and cherished. A treasure born of the potter's gentle caress.

I haven't given myself much time to do a lot of writing this week and I only have myself to be accountable, (trying not to use the blame word). I could list a bunch of things I "think" make a good blame list of why I haven't written, but what's the point when you know they are just excuses that the ego comes up with and you're on auto pilot going through the motions to get to the next day. I am grateful to be aware.
Last week was filled with serendipitous events and I was uplifted with joy and the intentions I set were happening as they should be. Then I slipped and didn't really do much writing on my scheduled day of writing and I fell into a funk, I was fully aware of this, I am fully aware of this, it's still going on. The funk that is. But now I push myself to get on with it, the writing, my passion. You have to be your own cheerleader at times.
The good things that happened, the little a-ha moments that I wasn't looking for but when they happened I knew I was paying attention to the events that I put out into the universe and now I was being given what I asked for and I was accepting them.
I was thinking about the playwright class I was in a year an a half a go and wondering when the cabaret would be, I felt like it would be happening soon. A day later I get an email from the playwright instructor inviting me to the playwright cabaret. I said I'd hope to be there. Then my editor was in town for his book launch, I was able to switch my shift to attend the reading. I am grateful for where I work and the flexibility my coworkers have. When I arrived I noticed a man who was in the playwright class that I was in. I said hello and asked him how he knew my editor. "I'm his publisher." I did a double take and laughed out loud. This was something I had been thinking about, finding a local publisher to work with. Then as I talked to my editor for a bit before his reading, he asked if I spoke with his publisher and I told him how we knew one another. He asked if I told his publisher about my book. I said I started to give him a little information, but I know how busy he was as the organizer of the book launch.
After the reading I did talk to the publisher again and said I wouldn't mind talking to him about my book and seemed to be interested. I was and am so grateful for the serendipitous moments that line everything up as they should be. Thank you! Just like the saying goes, let go and let God, for me it's more like I am letting go and letting creativity. I am so ready to fulfill my passions, to write and to share, to be.
What serendipitous events have you recently experienced? Did you ask for something and it came your way? I'd love to hear from you as we are not alone on this creativity journey.
Until next time, keep on typing….

Gratitude and Wonders Upon Turning 21
Hello, everyone!
Admittedly, I have barely journaled at all since returning from Europe some weeks ago. Fortunately, this is not due to a depressed lack of motivation, but instead because my mind and heart have felt more stirred and alive than ever!
I feel like I'm finally developing a beautifully well-rounded, passionate, creative existence. I want to share some thoughts on this with you!
Ireland: As a result of early stresses and problems, I spent much of our first weeks and months in Ireland feeling so let down, so disappointed, and so frustrated. I wasted a lot of time on jealousy and regret. Since coming back I've realized what a loss that's been, and so I've thrown myself more than ever into breathtaking new travel plans and experiences!
Already, we've visited the beautiful sixth century monastic settlement of Glendalough, the gorgeous coastal city of Galway, the green and rocky island of Inis Mor, the cute little city of Cork, and we've even gone kayaking and moutain biking in Killarney!
I'm going to blog more about these later – especially Galway/Inis Mor and Cork/Killarney – but for now, I just want to express that I've finally, finally fallen in love with Ireland, and I'm so thankful I get the chance to experience it while I can.
Life Perspective: I remember, when I first got back from Paris, I wondered how to translate my flexible, enjoyable, carefree backpacker's life into my ordinary, hard-working, productive student's life. Since then, I've come to realize the importance of taking time for my own personal fulfillment and hobbies.
Stealing a few moments to talk, relax, walk, and read for fun has made me a happier person and a better, more loving friend and partner. Sometimes it does require a delicate shifting of priorities; sometimes it does necessitate moving a little more swiftly over homework assignments. But the benefits of slowly savoring a book by Patrick Kavanagh over a cup of hot chocolate in a Galway coffeeshop, toes touching Chris' under the table, is simply irreplaceable and uniquely inspiring. I can afford to buckle down on my efficiency if it means I can come to love and cherish my soul in this way.
Speaking of souls: Maybe it's the recent joy and observance of Holy Week in Ireland, but every day I feel closer to God, and more receptive to the message and grace of a practicing way of life. I can't call myself a Christian – I'm not one yet and I don't know if I would be – but I'm growing, and it's a powerful journey.
I've never felt more alive before, and every day I feel a little bit more enveloped in love. The details of my specific theological viewpoints are still present, of course, but they seem to be taking a backseat to the overall importance of a loving, guided, joyous, community way of life. I'm looking forward to cultivating this further!
Nourishment and fitness: Food, health, and home goals have been so much fun! Chris and I have been fully self-catering for the last few weeks, and I've never had more fun with grocery shopping and meals! Planning and carefully selecting meals for the week creates a better, more responsible grocery trip and a connected, less wasteful week. It's been a blast to pick out dishes and ingredients, cooking often and wasting less. We're saving a lot of money too!
I've also taken up yoga and pilates, and I've begun to get serious about walking and/or running every morning. I feel too wonderful to pass up the opportunity to improve my body, my health, my fitness, my shape, and my continued wellbeing and happiness. I'm being given a gift with this life, and I can't waste it!
As far as home is concerned, we're beginning the first steps of a long journey towards our dream: living in a fully self-sustaining farm/cottage. That means we're starting to learn some skills and habits now! Our first goal is to use (and dispose of) way less plastic. I'm really excited to learn!
Summer awesome: Lastly, I've gotten some really good news in the past few weeks! First things first, Chris and I have officially nailed down an adorable little studio apartment in the Highland Park area, right next door to Ellen and Adam and Mikayla!
Second, my internship is going to be absolutely awesome – I'm going to be working for Saint Paul Area Council of Churches, the Interfaith Youth Leadership Committee, and the Saint Paul Interfaith Network! Mostly I'm going to be working on developing training packages for area religious communities and working on funding/development for interfaith non-profits. Amazing!!
And best, best, best, best, best, BEST of all – I won a position with the 2010 summer collaborative research program! I am going to be spending all summer doing the legwork and drafting my senior honors' thesis: "Crosses of Straw and Stone: Brigid and Cultural Narratives of Irish Catholic Observance and Heritage". It's going to be SO exciting and such an amazing, learning, growing, awesome time! This summer is going to be great!
So, thank you, life. Thank you, universe. Thank you, love. Thank you God, whatever you may be. I love everything and I am so, so, so grateful to be alive for these twenty-one beautiful years!
Up next, I'm going to be putting up some posts and pictures about our recent adventures in Glendalough, Galway, and Cork. Between working really hard on homework this week and going to the Guinness Factory this weekend, it might be a little while in coming, so please be patient! Thanks!

Electric Vehicles0
An electric vehicle (EV), also referred to as an electric drive vehicle, uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. Three main types of electric vehicles exist, those that are directly powered from an external power station, those that are powered by stored electricity originally from an external power source, and those that are powered by an on-board electrical generator, such as an internal combustion engine (hybrid electric vehicles) or a hydrogen fuel cell. EVs include plug-in electric cars, hybrid electric cars, hydrogen vehicles, electric trains, electric lorries, electric airplanes, electric boats, electric motorcycles and scooters and electric spacecraft. Diesel submarines operating on battery power are, for the duration of the battery run, electric submarines, and some of the lighter UAVs are electrically-powered. Proposals exist for electric tanks.

the eyes have it
[NYTimes] Three years ago Gregory Van Maanen knew it was time to move out of his longtime home in Paterson, N.J. He just didn't know how he was going to do it. A Vietnam veteran, Mr. Van Maanen had been obsessively painting skulls and floating eyeballs on stones, animal bones, boards and canvases since his return from the war, in what he describes as a kind of exorcism. He used his apartment as a studio, and as he finished the works, he often turned them against the walls so as not to be haunted by their "spirits." After so many years, they took up almost every square inch.
"Let's just say the place was not set up for comfort," said Leslie Umberger, the senior curator at the Kohler Arts Center here, who visited Mr. Van Maanen in 2006. "The only furniture I saw was the chair he sat in to work on small drawings. Artwork had taken over every surface, like this living, growing altar — this organic thing." To put it another way, she said, Mr. Van Maanen's home had become his canvas. (read)

Basketball on Saturday
I played basketball yesterday at the old NIE (Evans Road). I was nostalgic for gravity-defying and acrobatic leaps into the air; pin-point passes bouncing off the length of the court and good old-fashion pain.
There was pain indeed; injuries to my knee and back had taken away most of my game – I could barely get off the ground or match sprints on the court. I am stronger than most of them and shoved them out of the way. But they always shoved back.
A little nostalgia of a different sort was thrown in for good measure. Two players disputed a foul call and became lawyers on court.
"You can't do that!"
"Why not! I just took two steps!"
Blah blah blah. The game went on and someone lost.
The loser pleaded his case to others.
"It's not like that when I played in competition! The referees won't let you do that! Kan Ni Na. Chow Chee Bye." Those on the sidelines commiserated and nodded. He kept cursing and illustrating his point with extravagant, sweaty body motions. His eyes widened a little more with each demonstration.
Learn from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy' page one: Don't panic. Take a deep breath.
It's not a competition. It's just a game. It has no bearing on the other things that we do. It is, as much as I hate to admit it, inconsequential. I would have never realized that fact, not until I was injured and injured badly. Then, I got into other things – this posturing and debate turned meaningless.
I look back now and wonder how I could have wasted so much time.
No more wasted time for me.

Reading Plato's The Republic it's difficult not to come to the same conclusions previously reached by Popper in The Open Society:
Plato's identification of individualism with egoism furnishes him with a powerful weapon for his defence of collectivism as well as for his attack upon individualism. In defending collectivism, he can appeal to our humanitarian feeling of unselfishness; in his attack, he can brand all individualists as selfish, as incapable of devotion to anything but themselves.
Inherent in Plato's programme there is a certain approach towards politics which, I believe, is most dangerous. Its analysis is of great practical importance from the point of view of rational social engineering. The Platonic approach I have in mind can be described as that of Utopian engineering, as opposed to another kind of social engineering which I consider as the only rational one, and which may be described by the name of piecemeal engineering… And there can be no tolerance between these different Utopian religions…Thus the Utopian must win over, or else crush, his Utopianist competitors. But he has to do more…For the way to the Utopian goal is long. Thus the rationality of his political action demands constancy of aim for a long time ahead; and this can only be achieved if he not merely crushes competing Utopian religions, but also as far as possible stamps out all memory of them.
Plato's theory of justice indicates very clearly that Plato saw the fundamental problem of politics in the question: Who shall rule the state? It is my conviction that by expressing the problem of politics in the form 'Who should rule?' or 'Whose will should be supreme?', etc., Plato created a lasting confusion in political philosophy… While piecemeal reform lends itself to democracy, Utopian reform lends itself to dictatorship. The Utopian attempt to realize an ideal state, using a blueprint of society as a whole, is one which demands a strong centralized rule of a few, and which therefore is likely to lead to a dictatorship."
I tend to regard Plato in the same manner as I do Paul or Augustine; a dreadful mistake. Through christianity, Plato produced a philosophical tradition that disdained empirical experimentation and observation in favour of a focus on the causes of causes (i.e. the forms), disdained the body as a prison and which distinguished itself in opposition to sophistry's concern with descriptions of the world that meet our needs rather than conceptions of absolute truth. Socrates repeatedly scorns those who deal in paradox, viewing their arguments as being concerned with power rather than with truth, but is far from reluctant to marshal sophistical violence in his own arguments. Plato distinguishes between misleading rhetoric and dialectic as a means of reaching truth, but the text is riddled with rhetorical devices, such as the metaphor of the cave or ship of state. It's difficult not to sympathise with the empirical view that dialectic doesn't say anything about reality, only about the relations between words. Although cast as a dialogue, once the initial discussions with Thrasymachus and Glaucon have been dismissed, the text essentially becomes a monologue. Voices of dissent are simply silenced in favour of a repeated murmur of affirmation. The Platonic dialogue is ostensibly concerned with gaining consensus between parties, in contrast to the agonistic methods used by the sophists, which were not concerned with truth as an object; nonetheless Plato himself is quite concerned with suppressing other voices ("you think my questions were deliberately framed to distort your argument?… you know perfectly well that it's easier to ask questions than to answer them"). For example, the dismissal of myth is related to others citation of it to disprove his arguments on divine morality – Plato's prime means of argument is declaration by fiat. By contrast, Thrsaymachus has little wish to coerce others into his point of view; "and how am I to persuade you? If you don't believe what I have just said, what more can I do?" Equally, that single monologic voice in The Republic is far from consistent; war is honourable in Plato's own republic, deplorable in a tyranny. Art is of use as an instrument of propaganda or education in one instance ("we must.. require their stories and morals to have the opposite moral"), a dangerous and misleading conceit to be suppressed elsewhere ("we banished poetry from our state").
Part of this relates to Plato's insistence on what Popper calls methodological essentialism; the view that it is the task of pure knowledge or 'science' to discover and to describe the true nature of things, i.e. their hidden reality or essence. It was Plato's peculiar belief that the essence of sensible things can be found in other and more real things — in their primogenitors or Forms. In this sense, Plato can perhaps be better described as a theologian than a philosopher or scientist, in that he can always dismiss the results of empirical investigation as not according with his idea of higher forms that can only be discerned through his own processes of ratiocination; "If anyone tries to learn anything about the world of sense, whether by gaping upwards or blinking downwards, I don't reckon that he really learns – there is no knowledge to be had of such things." Not only is Plato left as Philosopher King, he is also effectively anointed as prophet. Knowledge becomes something that can only be accessed by the few; "those whom the public call sophists.. in fact nothing but the conventional views held and expressed by the majority of the people they meet; and this they call a science." Plato uses the observation of an animal as an example; through study one could gain knowledge of its habits and behaviour but one would not know whether it is good or bad; phenomena are immaterial, mystical access to the noumenal is all. As a result, the only form of politics that is possible is dictatorship; "philosophy is impossible amongst the common people."
Plato's theology is equally self defining, relying principally on a reported account of what life is like in the underworld; a description that bears more resemblance to the Bible than to Homer. Similarly, Plato simply censors the corpus of myths available to him as inconvenient to his conception of god; "misrepresenting the nature of the gods and heroes, like a portrait painter whose paintings bear no resemblance to their originals." Equally, Plato's political ideology can also be described as having more in common with the doctrine of original sin or the christian idea of temptation and fall than with the political theory of Locke or Hobbes; "like a foreign seed sown in alien soil under whose influence it commonly degenerates into the local growth… his passion tyrannises him… unable to control the animal part of us" The result is effectively a form of theocracy; "wipe the slate of human society and human habits clean." Although Plato admits that societies are formed of individuals, he sees individual character as being formed by society; in short, there is only the state.
While I am on the topic of my particular dislikes, we can move on from Plato and enter the modern world of American literature. The likes of Mailer and Bellow are clearly skilled artists but that does little to prevent me from finding them utterly unlikeable for casual sexism and homophobia. If Dickens and Eliot as the leading voices of the British Empire expressed a concern for poverty and morality after god, Mailer and Bellow as the leading voices of the American Empire expressed little other than a rather neurotic fear of the feminine in a post-traditional society. Herzog is in many ways a great novel, dealing with the fate of a representative of the Jewish tradition when cast into a modern bourgeois civilisation ("a proud lazy civilisation that worships its own boorishness"), at once an outside and a product of that society; nonetheless the objective correlative chosen to denote this seem inadequate and rather paltry. The resulting effect is rather novel but not especially edifying. One the one hand, Herzog writes of "how life could be lived by renewing universal connexions, overturning the last of the Romantic errors of the uniqueness of the self." At the same time as rejecting the Western tradition, Herzog castigates Nietzsche for having a christian worldview predicated on seeing civilisation as having reached a point of crisis; "are all the traditions used up, the beliefs done for.. is this the full crisis of dissolution?.. the more individuality seems lost.. individuals are destroyed.. this is a doomed time". But equally Herzog decries modern society as coercive and collectivist; "his recent misfortunes might be seen as a collective project.. down in the mire of post-humanistic, post-Cartesian dissolution, next door to the void." It seems clear that the contradictions are deliberate and intending to render Herzog as an exemplar; "modern character is inconstant, divided, vacillating, lacking the stone-like certitude of archaic man." Herzog is able to delude himself into thinking that his work is the solution to the emptiness of modern life and that his opponents are endangering a great endeavour; but even even if he is a symptom of this rather than a cure it does little to make us feel any empathy for a project Bellow does appear to share with his protagonist.
Der Rosenkavalier is an oddity; a satire of marriage a'la mode that seems more in keeping with the age of Congreve or Hogarth and, along with, Orlando one of the last examples of the sort of comedy of gender confusion exemplified by Shakespeare's comedies. Hofmannsthal's surreal or gothic flourishes (as with the fake masked devils used to torment Lerchenau) also seem odd placed alongside the bawdy humour.

Post # 197 Veggie Tales (with apologies to the cartoon)December 4, 2013 at 1:18 PM | Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Post # 197 Veggie Tales (with apologies to the cartoon)
I've often said I'm the world's worst vegetarian because I like bacon and steak too much. Wrap a vegetable in bacon and fry it up, serve it next to a medium-rare steak and I'm a happy camper! But I know that eating vegetarian is a lot healthier than not, and I like vegetables. I just can't eat meatless for very long. However, there are lots of ways to eat meatless and not notice it.
Pizza is the best way. Have a vegetable pizza with loads of toppings and extra cheese and you'll never notice there's no meat on it. And pizza, when it's done right, can be one of the healthiest things you eat. Unless you're making it yourself, you won't have any control over what goes into the crust. The crust is really the worst part of the pizza for you. So order thin crust, if you can. I personally don't like thin crust because I don't want crunchy pizza. But I also don't like pizza that's so thick with crust I feel like I'm eating red dough. Try not to order the thickest crust they have. And don't order all the crust tricks, like cheese in, or pizza sticks, etc. It's just a way to fill you up with little nutritional value. However, the tomato sauce on the pizza is excellent! Tomatoes are so good for you, even ketchup can be considered a health food. Except when it's on french fries, but that's another story. I find that too much sauce burns my mouth and makes the top of the pizza slippery so I usually order half-sauce. Tons of vegetable, or just one, no meat makes this healthier. Then cheese. But the cheeses they use for pizza tend to be better than "standard" cheeses. So I order double cheese.
Burritos are another good way to be vegetarian. That thin flexible wafer of flour and water wrapped around rice and beans and cheese or whatever other combo you like can hardly be beat. Add some good fresh pico de gallo and you will never miss the meat that isn't there. With different beans, cooked different ways, and different rices cooked in different ways with different seasonings, the combinations for burritos are almost endless. I'm salivating just thinking about it.
On a similar note, spring rolls are also a tasty alternative. And best, they're DEEP FRIED! No meat in these things, but so flavorful and crispy, you wouldn't know it.
There are various levels of vegetarianism from the occasional practitioner (me) to full on vegan (them.) A vegetarian eats primarily vegetables with some animal products, eggs and cheese for instance. Vegans eat no animal products at all, only vegetables. You can get all the nutrition you need as long as you're careful about what you eat. You can also eat breads and other baked goods, like cakes and cookies and pies, you just have to use different ingredients and techniques. I've had some of those products. Some taste very good and you'd never miss the butter and eggs. Some taste like mud. I used to own a book that promised to take you from caveman carnivore to full vegetarian in three months if you followed their plan and recipes. It was standard stuff. You eliminate beef for a couple of weeks. When you're used to that, you eliminate pork, etc. The last thing you eliminate is fish. As you eliminate dishes, you add their vegetarian substitutes. I never followed it, but I can see the sense of it.
The biggest concern I have with being a vegetarian is the high likelihood of missing out on protein and the nutrients they contain. Vegetarians have to be very careful about getting complete proteins and iron, as well as other trace vitamins and minerals. These can be found when eating things in combination, rice and beans being the most well known. Most vegetarians I know also take supplements. The biggest thing to be aware of with being a vegetarian is that nutrition becomes a total, almost holistic, topic, not just a specific meal topic.
I prefer being the occasional practitioner rather than full-on. I go as many as three days eating meatless, then the urge for a greasy cheeseburger overcomes me. I have a friend who often says "I'm a vegetarian not so much because I like animals but that I hate plants."

Naomi Said:Do anyone know a accredited life experience degree website?
We Answered:They really don't exist. The Life Experience degrees that you find on the internet will say that they are accredited, but when you research, the accreditation isn't legitimate. However, there are some good legitimate programs online. Below is a link to a really good college program that is very flexible, and has Regional Accreditation(the best):
Marcus Said:any accredited colleges that give you some life experience degree? i ask because i have a bachelors and my?
We Answered:You clearly have a case where an institution you attended has no business being in the education business.
These "diploma mills" or whatever you wish to call them offer course work that is not transferable to honorable institutions and their certificates and degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on.
Offering college credit for "life experience" is another indicator of an inferior institution and often their credits do not transfer to honorable institutions.
If you wish to exert the effort for college course work, go to a place that offers credits that are transferable and that offer accredited degree programs. Failure to do so is just a waste because employers see through the junk institutions.
Jeremy Said:Is there any accredited life experience degree available ?. Can any one give me info ?
We Answered:Read the below carefully so you can tell whether a school has the appropriate accreditation. ... Make sure the institution is accredited by one of these. ... Does life experience degree has any recognization? How does one earn ... Is there any accredit university by chea give doctorate degree by experience life?
Tracy Said:Do anyone know of a LIfe Experience Degree University thats accredited?
We Answered:There are none. The previously mentioned Belford University is NOT accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education. A degree from Belford is worthless and in some states illegal to use to get a job or promotion.
You can check accreditation of any school in the U.S. at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/Search.a… or at http://www.chea.org/search/search.asp You can learn more about accreditation at http://www.ed.gov/admins/finaid/accred/i…
Some regionally accredited schools will give credit for life experience and there are ways to challenge courses for credit. However, to the best of my knowledge, there are no valid schools that will award a valid degree for life experience.
Good luck
Harvey Said:Anyone know of an accredited life experience degree school.?
We Answered:No legitimate school bestows a degree based on 100% life experience. But there are some good, accredited schools that will have you do a portfolio assessment and a grant you a lot of credit with that.
Jackie Said:Accredited Life experience Bachelor degree ? Its possible to obtain a degree within some days ?
We Answered:There are some schools that have online programs that are accredited. However, none will allow you to get a degree based solely on life experience. If a school does offer a degree using life experience only, it is a sure sign of a diploma mill.
However, all is not lost. If you have experience, there are schools that will give SOME credit for work experience. There are also schools that will give credit for industry certifications. Additionally, many schools will give credit for CLEP and DSST exams. You can learn more about CLEP exams at http://http://www.collegeboard.com/student/test…
You can learn more about DSST exams at http://www.getcollegecredit.com/
Accreditation is important for a degree. You must make certain that the school where you get your degree is accredited. You can check accreditation of a school at http://www.chea.org/search/search.asp
Finally, there is a forum where you might be able to find more information on obtaining your degree. http://forums.degreeinfo.com It is free to join and there are many people there who have obtained Bachelor's, Master's and higher degrees through online coursework and study.
Good luck
Joy Said:can I get a work and life experience degree that is accredited in the us?
We Answered:Most of them are awarded without academic merit and so they will have no use. In some countries they are void and if you try and get a job with it- it can constitute as fraud in some countries.
Discuss It!

By NCDS
Denver Comic Con (DCC) is just two days away! I hope you are getting prepared. The event offers a lot of variety, and I bet they have something for you.
Let's start with the basics. What are you going to bring? Personally, I make sure I have the following:
- External battery for my phone.
- Snacks! There are food items and drinks available at the con (including alcohol), but they are expensive. Brings some snacks to cut down the cost of food so you have something healthy to eat and can avoid those long lines.
- Water bottle! This is essential, especially if you plan to have a few beers.
- Your pass. Okay, this should probably be number one but if you have some snacks to munch on while you wait for someone to bring your badge, your day may be a little brighter.
- Bring your own lanyard; I find that the ones provided don't have a secure clip. DCC badges are like cash, and you don't want to lose yours. If you need an example of a good lanyard, look at the FOCC lanyards here.
- Cash. Not everyone in artist alley will take credit cards. Make sure you have cash in hand for that print you can't live without.
- Wear comfortable shoes! You will be on your feet a lot. You can thank me later.
If you are cosplaying, please remember that DCC has strict rules regarding weapons; basically, don't bring them. Also, make sure that you are covered in the appropriate areas. You can read their policy here.
If you are looking for photo ops, you can pre-purchase them from Epic Photo Ops. I believe most cancellations by celebrities have already occurred; however, if a con guest does cancel, they will refund your money. Looking for an autograph? You can purchase them on site in Celebrity Summit. This is a cash only area, so if you want a lot of autographs, make sure you have the cash ready. No one likes paying ATM fees or waiting in those long ATM lines, so hit your bank ATM on the way.
Looking for some panels? DCC has a lot of them! There are NASA and SETI panels, the Denver Public Library Room, Colorado Symphony Orchestra panels, celebrity panels and more. I definitely encourage you to check out the panel schedule here. I know I am excited for the panel "Bridging The Expanse" by FoCC's very own Miclpea on Friday, June 30th at 6pm in room 605. If you haven't read any of his Expanse recaps, you should! You can find them here.
This is just a small sample of events.
- There will also be a cosplay contest.
- Shopping for collectibles.
- A chance to visit with authors, or to see your favorite artist.
- Even a wedding!
Bringing kids? There is a whole area dedicated to them called "Pop Culture Classroom Kids' Lab And 8-Bit Lounge." Bruce Campbell and John Barrowman have stopped by to read stories in past years. I can't wait to see who comes by this year!
Go to the Denver Comic Con website to find out more.
If you have questions or want to talk about the weekend, please join the conversation on FOCC here.
I can't wait to see you all there!

One of my goals is to add value in all of M'illumino's interactions and transactions with employees and customers, and citizens of societies on which we might impact. M'illumino will be a company which uses leading edge technology to communicate as deeply and widely as possible to transform world views from a focus on greed vs poverty and terrorism vs peace, to a common understanding that the future of society is dependant on engaging morality and recognising that health, wealth and peace is achievable for all.
Societies, corporations and individuals do not operate in vacuums. Corporations are not exempt from moral responsibility to add value in all their interactions with individuals and societies. By acting responsibly corporations receive the side benefits of enhancing their markets, fulfilling customer expectations and enhancing human resource productivity and retention. Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp, is often reviled for greed and corporate bullying however my goals and thoughts coalesce with those of Rupert Murdoch regarding the ability of technology to transform lives and the responsibility corporations have to add social benefit.
I agree that digital communication creates "a new source of wealth, material and social," in all corners of the globe. In an address to the media in Beijing Rupert says "It is a mechanism by which people can transform their lives, to improve the education of their children, to reform health care, to access news and information… ". Further, digital communication technology is "a canvas for the talents and aspirations and potential of a person and place." My sentiments exactly.
As knowledge replaces ignorance we will see there is no need for poverty, hunger and discord between disparate cultures. The wasteful mis-allocation of resources to humanitarian aid and military pursuits is unethical. Emergency aid is an absolute given, but ongoing "aid" is a never ending spiral serving to sustain poverty which generates discord over scarce resources. Throwing money at the poorest nations out of guilt or embarrassment is not empowering to the recipients. The emergence of social entrepreneurship is an exciting development in the empowerment of individuals, particularly women, in less privileged societies and should significantly reduce those communities' reliance on aid.
Organisations, individuals and governments in advantaged countries need to more responsibly share the financial and natural wealth in a manner which positively contributes to the enrichment of lives in less advantaged geographies. Rupert Murdoch suggests that "it is a moral failing of the rich world that our agricultural markets are subsidised and protected …. the greatest assistance we can give to talented Africans is to allow them access to western markets." Access to technology, education and economic resources could enhance wealth, education and health throughout Africa curing many of the societal ills which plaque that continent. Ditto for emerging nations in other geographies.
Truly we have an unprecedented opportunity for transformation and I look forward with excited anticipation to the future of our society.
For your convenience Rupert Murdoch's address is available here and I suggest that the headline totally misses the point of the real significance of the message.


text: I heard on the news last night that both Rep. Pelosi, and Rep. John Conyers, the future Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, have committed to not pursue impeachment of President Bush for past acts. Well that's a relief. With all the talk before about "Bush misled us into war" and "Bush lied us into war", I thought that would've risen to the level that would cause one to consider impeachment. If I were a Democrat and believed that rhetoric I would probably see it that way.
