PIXEL PARK - BILBAO JARDIN (competition entry) 2009
The idea comes from the overwhelming presence of the information and communication technologies, which has fundamentally changed the way people live. Perceptions of the world around us are changing under the influence of sensations and images we consciously and subconsciously absorb everyday. The oceans, rivers, mountains and cities have been digitalized and pixelized to be viewed and "visited" by anyone with internet access and proper applications and programs.
What would happen if we took the pixels presenting the river Nervión and the city of Bilbao and turn them into physical matter, reversing the process? The play of shapes and colors resulted in the design of "pixel park" a rasterized, low resolution zoomed in image of the river. The pixels are represented by 50x50x30cm wooden planting boxes and 50x50x40cm wooden seating elements. A walking path goes through the middle, making it essentially a "transit" green area with only a small seating area in the middle portion of the park.

Job search:
My role at Head Medical is to make sure that we are providing the best service possible. A key part of this is finding out what our customers think of our service, addressing any issues identified and making changes where necessary. As a company our core values reflect our desire to do our best and to be the best we can.
Our Values:
Over the past 20 years Gallup has surveyed over a billion people to find out what is most important to customers. The top four areas were also at the forefront of our minds when we decided what our values should be, to make sure that we are doing what our customers really want us to do.
Gallup Survey Top 4 customer expectations:
So, on a more personal note, what does a person or company have to do to get service right? And to counter that, what things really annoy you?
Asking around the office, the top annoyances were:
And the top service point scorers were:
Of course, the 'right' things are far more ambiguous and a little harder to achieve as they are subjective. One person's idea of excellent service may be another's nightmare. Service means different things to different people, so to my mind the best service doesn't come from a generic template being followed but one where the company/individual takes the time to listen and understand what you are looking for and that they do whatever they can to make things work the way you need them to.
What do you think?

Dunkin' Donuts
Re-launching an American icon in the UK
We helped Dunkin' Donuts re-launch in the UK with a mix of national and local activities. We laid the groundwork through a series media briefings with Chairman and CEO Nigel Travis with national business press, to explain the return to the UK and stimulate franchise enquiries. We also helped create local buzz around new store openings across the country.
In addition we supported the announcement of a global partnership with Liverpool F.C., an incredibly successful sponsorship announcement for the brand, and continue to work with sister ice cream brand Baskin-Robbins to launch new flavours, new franchises and special initiatives such as a cake to celebrate the latest Royal birth.

Job Search Tips
Getting Started with Your Search
There are many things to consider as you search for the job that's right for you. To get started, it is important to know what you want. This helps you narrow your search, save time and find something that is the best fit. Ask yourself what your skills are, what unique knowledge, experience or skills can you offer an employer, what is important to you in job — is it income, commute, hours, etc. If you find that your skills and experience don't align with the requirements of jobs you are looking for, then going back to school can help you gain the additional skills and knowledge you need.
Your Resume Represents You
Once you know what types of jobs you are looking for, ensure that your resume is updated. It is recommended to customize it for each job and company as you apply. This can make a difference between you and the competition. Another way to stand apart from other job seekers is to create a website for your resume and allow you to showcase your skills and experience.
Maintain Your Online Reputation
Your online reputation is increasingly a factor as human resource managers and hiring managers search applicants online. Conducting searches on your own for your own name will show you what they will see. By taking control of the content, setting privacy settings on social media sites and more will help ensure you are putting a professional face forward.
Be Prepared
As you move through the job search process, it is critical to research the company and industry prior to your interviews. Practice answering standard interview questions and have examples that highlight the skills and experience that the employer is looking for ready for when questions are asked. If you are having challenges getting interviews, it may be time to reevaluate your resume, the jobs you are looking for and how well your skills align with those jobs.
Tying it all Together
The bottom line is that it is searching for a new job is never easy but there are sites like America to Work, educational opportunities and other online resources that can help you make finding your ideal job a reality.

A St. Louis teenager has been sentenced to a year in jail for punching a man in what was apparently a "knockout game" attack.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 18-year-old Edward Townsend was sentenced Monday. He pleaded guilty in January to one count of third-degree misdemeanor assault.
The attack was in May. The 30-year-old victim was walking on the sidewalk about 10 p.m. when a group of teens walked up to him. Townsend punched the man. The group then surrounded the victim.
In the knockout game, strangers are attacked at random. The attacks are sometimes videotaped and posted online.
Townsend was the only one charged in the case.

Author Notes: This is an old recipe I found in my mom's cookbook. I do not know the origin of it. It sounded as if the taste can not be good( based on combination of the ingredients) and that is why I had to try it! Oh boy , was I wrong! I added rum an vanilla for extra zing! This cake tastes like combination of sweet chestnut and chocolate ganache. Your guests will never guess the secret ingredient. —Hipimama
Serves: 8-10
lb Russet Potato
ounces ground walnuts
ounces caster sugar
ounces 70% dark chocolate -melted
tablespoon dark rum
tablespoon vanilla
pint Whipping cream
- Peel and boil the potatoes. Once they are cooked, drain and mash them very well, add butter in still very hot potatoes and mix to combine. Add walnuts, caster sugar, rum and vanilla.
- Divide mixture in half. In 2nd half add previously melted chocolate. In a springform pan ( any size and shape) add first layer of mixture ( without chocolate) and spread nicely. On top of it add second layer (with chocolate). Let it set in refrigerator for 3 hours minimum.

The New Guy
Hi, im the new guy, im unlike most of the other people on this blog because you see what I chose to do with my life is sleep through out most of my education but that's not my fault it's my mothers cause I clearly remember telling her as a child that I want to stay home and play with toys but ofcourse she didn't listen to me…apparently "mother knows best" well screw that saying and whoever made it because I have spent almost my whole life studying and some 16 year old gay ass kid from canada who sings…..SINGS!!!! is out there earning probably more money than I ever will and he didn't need education actually he just looks like an idiot, But anyway, most of my grammar is acquired from watching cartoons and that is why I suck so much at Swahili…so I am clearly not at fault there, it's the world. Another thing about me is that im scared of gay people….and no, don't get me wrong, I don't hate gay people,…I fear them. Why? Ill tell u why. Lion King. I know ure all wondering how lion king is responsible 4 my homophobia but let me explain. Imagine a six year old watching a cartoon with this story line
Big ass masculine lion named Mufasa, has the whole "Roar…..im a manly lion" thing going on for him….and how does it end for him?….he was killed by cows, COWS!!! Okay maybe not cows but as a child I believed them to be cows. Then Simba comes along u know kinda scrawny has not broken his voice and sings about everything, then when you think this lion cant get gayer like ten hyenas attack him and he beats the SHIT out of them, and that's not all, after the whole brutal incident…..HE SINGS ABOUT IT!!!!! Well I dnt knw what you people got as the moral of that cartoon but what I learnt was…don't mess with gay people.
Im totally against languagism. Yeah, most of you might be blind to it but its out there and I came to find this out like a month ago as I joined my IAT class, as I said earlier I suck at swa, and on my first day at IAT I came to discover everyone except this one guy who sits beside me talks swa, but I was like….. hey, that's not a problem you know we are all Kenyan we are all cool we are all thugs..you know, but the minute I turned to my deskmate and went like "Dude, u have a pencil?" the whole class turned and stared at me in disbelief and ryt there I knew if I do not neutralize the situation ill b the class reject so I completed the sentence with a "Jo" then they all figured im cool and continued with what they were doing. Hence I am now knwn as the quiet guy in class and the other English speaking guy is the class reject…I might not be suffering from the effects of languagism but im speaking on the behalf ot the other guy(lets call him billy coz I dnt knw his name as I am not allowed to speak to him) Languagism must be stoped!
Last thing that should be known. I voted for this blog to be named Kevin and friends for the sake of humour

Welcome to the Automotive Technology program at the WMCTC:
This course will teach shop safety, work habits, and the technical skills necessary to successfully pass some certification areas. There are 8 total areas of certification, and at the CTC students will concentrate in the areas of Brakes & Braking Systems and Front End & Steering Systems. Other areas, such as General Maintenance, Engine Repair and Electrical Systems will receive attention as well.
The Automotive Technology Field:
As automobiles have become increasingly more technical, the automotive field has become more complicated and demanding. The Automotive Service program is certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). This demands a very exhaustive curriculum in specific areas of certification. To be a mechanic in the state of Michigan, a person must take tests which will show their expertise and allow them to be licensed.
1st Year Students: Upon Instructor recommendation, you can become eligible for the Engineering Technology rotation.
2nd Year Students: Upon successful completion of the first year and/or instructor recommendation, you can become eligible for the Engineering Technology rotation.

Peter Kay Receives An Honorary Degree And His Speech Will Have You In Stitches!
Peter Kay. Salford University. 19 July 2016. Honorary Doctorate.
Comedian Peter Kay has received an honorary Doctorate from the University of Salford and as usual he had the audience in stitches.
The northern funnyman accepted the degree 20 years after he first gained a Higher National Diploma certificate at the university.

Picture | MEN
Peter was a student at the university in the 1990s and studied Media and Performance and he used his speech this time round to thank his family and friends.
During his speech he joked that he is often offered honorary degrees but turns them down "because they're just PR stunts".
However, after accepting the honorary degree from his old stomping ground, he talk to the audience about trying to make it in TV. He explained how he attempted to make it as a tea boy at Granada but was left "gutted" when he had to turn it down after being offered a job at discount store Netto who would pay him more.
Aside from cracking up the audience, he did have an inspirational message for the recent graduates.
He told them: "When I graduated 20 years ago, I was feeling like many of the graduates here today about going out into the world.
"I knew I could make people laugh but I was frightened in case they wouldn't laugh. But I knew I would regret it if I didn't have a go."

Mountbatten 718
EtonHouse International Pre-School, Mountbatten 718
EtonHouse pre-school at Mountbatten 718 offers a unique programme for children aged 18 months to 6 years within an international pre-school environment. The pre-school is built over a land area of 6050 square metres and a built-up area of 1250 square metres.
In Reggio Emilia, they refer to the learning environment as the 'third teacher'. At Mountbatten 718, our teachers pay great attention to the look and 'feel' of the classrooms (ambience). carefully organizing spaces for small and large group work.
We believe that children have a right to a respectful environment. Through careful choice of colour, natural materials and the use of natural light, we hope not only to build relationships between the indoor and outdoor learning spaces, but also to ensure our classrooms are aesthetic as well as functional spaces. The outdoor playground has been designed specifically to ensure that children build deep relationships with the natural world.
The pre-school has sensory gardens (scented planting areas; texture gardens), a children's kitchen, a vegetable garden, a water course, digging and construction areas, a large and well-equipped library and well-resourced classrooms. We have also imported a range of mobile climbing equipment from Australia, which can be used very flexibly and ensures that our teachers can plan for a variety of different climbing and co-ordination challenges.
EtonHouse International Research Pre-School is an accredited* IB World School for the Primary Years Programme. These are schools that share a common philosophy-- a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that EtonHouse International Research Pre-School believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its three academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Career-related Certificate).
For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org/en/information-for-parents

Sat 25 May 2013 in Birmingham:
In a farmer's field north-east of Moira, on the border between Leicestershire and Derbyshire, UK.
Aiming for a 4pm meetup. Bring a towel. This will be my first hash with my new phone, and also my longest return bike journey, so there's plenty of potential for disaster. Fans of chaos should probably attend.
A toast! Quiet! Shut up! I'm ah, I got words. I'm saying. This is an auspicious day. We all know what day it is.
- What's auspicious? What day is it?
A glorious day for all the proud members of the allied planets. #towelday and #mouseoverday
Well, the good news is I got there. But two punctures on the way didn't help - and it turns out 30 miles up and down hills (and on off-road trails) takes a lot longer than 30 miles on the flat. Yeah, I know, that's kind of obvious, right? So I got there late for the meetup. Not that anyone else turned up.
Apart from the punctures it was a nice trip. Alternating sections of gravel paths on cycle route 63 (the 'Ivanhoe trail') and quiet country roads. Needless to say it was the roads, not the gravel paths, that caused the punctures. Returning home, I skipped Leicester, and detoured via Enderby to get home without too much traffic. Total travel time was about eight hours, thanks to the punctures.
A nice man in the neighbouring cottage allowed me into the right field, and I got as close as the newly-planted growing crop would allow. I'm calling it a success. As my Nexus 4 battery died before arriving at the geohash, the only proof I have is the Strava ride track below, taken off my BlackBerry, which outlived the Nexus. But that's good enough, right?
A nice side note was that the village (well, eight houses and an empty phone box) of Short Heath is apparently famous for being the "Centre of England". Who knew? And now I've been there, thanks to xkcd. Cool.
Did I mention I got two punctures?
I've put the route to the geohash on Strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/56247197
And the route home in two parts: http://app.strava.com/activities/56261042 and http://app.strava.com/activities/56261039

This blog is a campaign against Turkish accession to the European Union. Through original articles, and links to relevant sources of information, it aims to demonstrate why Turkish EU membership would be a disaster for Europe and for Western civilisation.

Turkish Interference in German Politics
Regular readers will no doubt recall a blog post earlier in the year concerning a report in Der Spiegel that the Turkish government was calling on the Turkish diaspora to use its influence to promote the interests of Turkey.
German television recently broadcast a news report about it, featuring some quite dramatic video footage. It shows Erdogan looking almost Hitlerian as he declaims against a map of the world containing a massive Turkey, bloated in red :"We are now the world power Turkey! Other countries don't set the agenda for Turkey. We set the agenda for them!"

Very interesting that other nations can freely call upon their diaspora to act according to their national goals and objectives yet if Turkey our NATO ally even mentions the phrase "our overseas living nationals" she is not only vilified but somehow appears to be a unique case.ReplyDelete
Where was this blog when the medicare scam in the U.S was revealed to be the work of Armenian agents in which we Americans had been unknowingly paying money some $100 million plus to an overseas nation (Armenia) that also has one of the worst human rights records in the world.

The Double Trailer: Toil, Trouble, Richard Gere
Well, there goes the "twist."
Richard Gere, Topher Grace, Martin Sheen, and a watch with a retractable murder-wire that would make Inspector Gadget himself writhe with jealousy: The Double maybe could be a slick political thriller. Or it could be a hammy, messy frame for some hand-to-hand combat scenes and yet another excuse to reduce women's roles to Concerned Wife and Endangered Prostitute. Richard Gere stars as a CIA agent who comes out of retirement to track down the last Soviet assassins he's spent his career tracking down. Or does he! According to this seemingly film-spoiling trailer, Gere is the assassin. The hunter is the hunted, etc. Sure, it seems weird to reveal that twist in a trailer, but it also seems weird that Topher Grace is old enough to play a guy with a wife and two kids, or that Martin Sheen would play a non–Jed Bartlett politician in a movie, or that anyone would tout Wanted in a trailer, or that Stephen "Bill from True Blood" Moyer would play an imprisoned, muscular Russian dude. (Maybe Zangief from Street Fighter was busy.) These are some strange times. [Movieline]

Casper vs Ignatz Ableidinger lines
Am wondering if anyone has figured out the relationship between the Casper and Hannah Bauer Ableidinger line and the Ignatz and Julia Poeschal Ableidinger line.
I am now aware that the surname is quite popular in Austria, however feel there should be a connection of the two - - of which I can't find.
These two families both came from Lang Schwarza Austria and immigrated to the Pepin/Dunn county area of Wisconsin; first Ignatz in 1881 and then a year later for Casper.Casper and family stayed with them for awhile and descendants remember them enjoying each other's company for some time, but then apparently a disagreement caused them to have nothing to do with each other.
None of the family genealogists feels there is a relation, however, the photo likeness is very similar and the given names of the children are almost the same.
Got any clues?

Black History Month
Each year, Simpson College observes Black History Month during the month of February. We celebrate the histories and cultures of black communities through a series of event.
African Diaspora Food Sampler
The African American and African food sampler is held during the month of February to commemorate Black History Month. Normally we have done the African and the African American food samplers separately but we decided to combine both of them to condense our events. The combination resulted in the African Diaspora Food Sampler, a name we came up with because we wanted to include everyone with African descent who do not currently reside in Africa.
Film Screening
In order to raise awareness among Simpson's community about current issues faced by African American, the Multicultural and International Affairs Department collaborate with students' organizations to hosts film screenings and an discussions sessions during Black History Month. Some of movies that were featured were For Girls Colored; a movie based on a stage play, Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf and The N-Word Documentary. It is a movie that documents the meaning of the N word to modern days African Americans.
Friday Night Hip Hop
In order to honor the contribution of Blacks in the history of dance, MSA host a Hip Hop dance night. Hip Hop along with other dances such as jazz, Charleston, swing etc., are dancing styles originated from African American vernacular dance.

"A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him."Adam Smith"The issue isn't just jobs. Even slaves had jobs. The issue is wages."Jim Hightower
How much is enough for them? When will they be content? With them it is with wealth as it is with power.
'Wir haben keine Hemmungen, und einen großen Magen.'
"After many requests on my part the Congress passed a Fair Labor Standards Act, what we call the Wages and Hours Bill. That Act --applying to products in interstate commerce -- ends child labor, sets a floor below wages, and a ceiling over hours of labor.Except perhaps for the Social Security Act, it is the most far-reaching, the most far-sighted program for the benefit of workers ever adopted here or in any other country. Without question it starts us toward a better standard of living and increases purchasing power to buy the products of farm and factory.Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000.00 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company's undistributed reserves, tell you -- using his stockholders' money to pay the postage for his personal opinions -- tell you that a wage of $11.00 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry.Fortunately for business as a whole, and therefore for the Nation, that type of executive is a rarity with whom most business executives most heartily disagree...Some of my opponents and some of my associates have considered that I have a mistakenly sentimental judgment as to the tenacity of purpose and the general level of intelligence of the American people.I am still convinced that the American people, since 1932, continue to insist on two requisites of private enterprise, and the relationship of Government to it. The first is a complete honesty, a complete honesty at the top in looking after the use of other people's money, and in apportioning and paying individual and corporate taxes (according to) in accordance with ability to pay. And the second is sincere respect for the need of all people who are at the bottom, all people at the bottom who need to get work -- and through work to get a (really) fair share of the good things of life, and a chance to save and a chance to rise.After the election of 1936 I was told, and the Congress was told, by an increasing number of politically -- and worldly-- wise people that I should coast along, enjoy an easy Presidency for four years, and not take the Democratic platform too seriously. They told me that people were getting weary of reform through political effort and would no longer oppose that small minority which, in spite of its own disastrous leadership in 1929, is always eager to resume its control over the Government of the United States.Never in our lifetime has such a concerted campaign of defeatism been thrown at the heads of the President and the Senators and Congressmen as in the case of this Seventy-Fifth Congress. Never before have we had so many Copperheads among us -- and you will remember that it was the Copperheads who, in the days of the Civil War, the War between the States, tried their best to make President Lincoln and his Congress give up the fight in the middle of the fight, to let the Nation remain split in two and return to peace -- yes, peace at any price.This Congress has ended on the side of the people. My faith in the American people -- and their faith in themselves -- have been justified. I congratulate the Congress and the leadership thereof and I congratulate the American people on their own staying power...You will remember that from March 4, 1933 down to date, not a single week has passed without a cry from the opposition, a small opposition, a cry 'to do something, to say something, to restore confidence.' There is a very articulate group of people in this country, with plenty of ability to procure publicity for their views, who have consistently refused to cooperate with the mass of the people, whether things were going well or going badly, on the ground that they required more concessions to their point of view before they would admit having what they called "confidence."These people demanded 'restoration of confidence' when the banks were closed -- and demanded it again when the banks were reopened.They demanded 'restoration of confidence' when hungry people were thronging (the) our streets -- and demanded it again now when the hungry people were fed and put to work.They demanded 'restoration of confidence' when droughts hit the country -- and demanded it again now when our fields are laden with bounteous yields and excessive crops.They demanded 'restoration of confidence' last year when the automobile industry was running three shifts day and night, turning out more cars than the country could buy -- and they are demanding it again this year when the industry is trying to get rid of an automobile surplus and has shut down its factories as a result.But, my friends, it is my belief that many of these people who have been crying aloud for 'confidence' are beginning today to realize that that hand has been overplayed..."Franklin D. Roosevelt, Fireside Chat June 24, 1937

Chevy Chase Had Another On-Set Outburst
And this time he used a racial slur.
Chevy Chase had another offensive workplace outburst on the set of Community this past Friday, according to TVLine. Chase reportedly "dropped the N-word on the set" of the NBC comedy (in front of African American cast members Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown), apparently because he was struggling with some portion of his (bigoted) character Pierce Hawthorne's dialogue. Production was halted until Chase, who's reportedly unhappy with how unlikeable his role has become, called the cast and crew together to issue a formal apology. Regardless, this is not good for Chase, whose reputation is already pretty sore after his very public (and nasty) feud with Dan Harmon.*
* This post originally erroneously said Community premiered on Friday, October 19th; as you know from your own simmering rage, that date has been indefinitely postponed.

text: When music swapping with Brawl, one does not have to worry about the swapped-in file exceeding the originals in length. One can swap a song for a 10 minute song for all Brawl cares and the game will still play and loop it properly. However, when doing this for Naruto Shippudden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 European Version and other games (I'd reckon judging by what people have posted in other threads), one does have to worry about song length. If the swap-in song is longer than the song which it is replacing, the song will glitch. Half-way through the song, it'll go silent for a good 10-15 seconds before looping back not at the LoopBeg that one sets but at the very start of the song. Someone told me that you can modify the "hardcoded" song lengths of a game by hex editing the bsrar. The only problem is that I have no idea of what to look for in order to figure out which values to hex edit. Does anyone know what to look for? Or alternately, does anyone know of a program which does this for you? Because the songs in Naruto Shippudden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 are annoyingly short, you have very little to work with.

Bond Is Back This Fall In 007 Legends
To celebrate the James Bond franchise's 50th anniversary, Activision will launch gamers back through time to relive a selection of Bond's most iconic and intense undercover missions from the popular Bond film franchise with 007 Legends. I'm not completely sold on the concept for this title but with all the buzz around the new movie it may do alright.
In addition to 007 Legends' main story, the game will feature the return of fan-favorite single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which debuted in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online leader board scores. For the first time ever, players will be able to participate as one of Bond's cohorts or villainous foes, reliving the missions through their eyes, as well as 007's. The robust James Bond multiplayer experience includes local four-player split-screen game modes and online competitive gameplay with new maps, weapons and characters derived from Bond's 50 year legacy. With more gadgets, deeper stealth and spy investigation gameplay, gamers will have every opportunity to truly feel like the world's favorite spy.
Planned to launch this fall, 007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom, under license from EON Productions Ltd. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. (MGM) for Xbox 360 and PS3.

"[A] charmingly told first feature, works confidently within a traditional, anecdotal storytelling framework, enlivened by young Dorotheea Petre's luminous performance."

Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese and Wim Wenders. Bucharest 1989 – the last year of Ceausescu's dictatorship. Eva, 17, lives with her parents and her 7-year-old brother Lalalilu. One day at school, Eva and her boyfriend accidentally break a bust of Ceausescu. They are forced to confess their crime before a disciplinary committee. Eva is expelled from school and transferred to a reform school. There she meets Andrei and decides to escape Romania with him. Convinced that Ceausescu is the main reason for Eva's decision to leave, Lalalilu, along with his friends from school, devises a plan to kill the dictator.

TIFF Review: The Way I Spend the End of the World
September 12, 2006
By Martha Fischer
Film festivals, even those as prestigious as Toronto, are lousy with first features. Most of the time the best you can hope from them are a few films that, while not necessarily great, hint at a bright future for their creators. More often than not, the most impressive debuts (like Manolo Nieto's The Dog Pound, for example) reveal enough vision and ability that the weaknesses in the films are easy to overlook, and you're left eager to see the director's sophomore effort. On rare occasions, however, you see a film so confident and effective that it's almost frightening to consider what the director will produce once he or she gets some experience; The Way I Spent the End of the World from first-time writer-director Catalin Mitulescu is one of those revelations.
From the first shot of the film, we're drawn into a world of tremendous vitality and warmth, so powerful and convincing that everyone we see on screen is instantly a fully formed individual and fundamentally real. Set in Romania towards the end of the Ceausescu regime, The Way I Spent the End of the World depicts a few months in the life of one family as they deal with universal struggles like raising kids, finding work, and abiding by societal expectations. Daughter Eva (a forceful, magnetic Doroteea Petre) is the heart of the family: Wise and passionate, she possesses an intelligence so fierce it renders her dark beauty almost over powering. Poised on the cusp of adulthood, she expresses herself through questioning -- not necessarily because she disagrees, but as a way of spreading her wings, and exploring her impact on the world. One person Eva never questions, though, is her adored little brother Lalalilu. Ferociously played by Timotei Duma, Lalalilu is a marvelous character, filled with rambunctious, six-year-old energy and tough and perceptive beyond his years. (Duma gives such a convincing, natural performance in the role that one strongly suspects he's simply playing himself.)
The family is part of a tight-knit, working-class town in which everyone knows everyone else, and everyone thinks they know how the others should live. Though there are fundamental disagreements between neighbors and friends, there's also an undeniable closeness among them, and some of the most magical scenes in the movie show the whole town swept away in moments of shared, childish joy. The total lack of contrivance in these moments is one of the many signs of Mitulescu's abundant talents; done differently, they would have been cloying and unbearable, but in his hands they're imbued with a wonderful, impossible innocence.
When Eva's boyfriend Alex accidentally-on-purpose smashes a bust of Ceausescu at school, her presence in the room when it happened is enough to get her kicked out of the school's Communist Youth Group, and she's sent to a trade school -- the last resort for kids who don't properly conform. Targeted by her new classmates for both harassment and lust, Eva never blinks. She responds to the aggression and awkward flirtation with smiles and offhand rejection, and learns to enjoy her new, refreshingly heterogeneous environment. In particular, she becomes close to Andrei, a new neighbor whose parents are widely rumored to have publicly opposed the government (leading, the town assumes, to their sudden appearance in the little town, and Andrei's presence at the trade school).
Though Ceausescu and his government are constants in The Way I Spent the End of the World, they're not its point. The movie is not about life under a communist regime, it's about a family that just happens to live under one -- a small distinction but an important one, because it allows Mitulescu to focus on his story rather than constantly reminding us how dif
--Martha Fisher/ Cinematical - Review
The final year of Ceausescu's reign of terror in Romania forms a dramatic backdrop to "How I Spent the End of the World," Catalin Mitulescu's charmingly told first feature about a spunky 17-year-old girl on the cusp of adulthood and her unruly little brother. Mitulescu, whose short film "Trafic" won a Palm d'Or two years ago, works confidently within a traditional, anecdotal storytelling framework, enlivened by young Dorotheea Petre's ("Ryna") luminous perf.
Pic joins a spate of fine recent Romanian films (most notably, "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu," discovered in Cannes last year) which are slowly finding audience as well as critical support...winning the 2005 Sundance/NHK award for best European project and getting the high sign from Martin Scorsese and Wim Wenders, who are listed as associate producers.
Mitulescu successfully negotiates the tricky byways of the film's tragi-comic tone, offering the viewer a sense of the era as it was lived by ordinary, unheroic people who fearfully stayed in the shadows until the revolution suddenly overturned their world.
--Deborah Young/ Variety - Review
It's a drag to be a fiercely independent teenage girl with integrity in Romania in 1989...This gorgeously shot family drama frames the parallel coming-of-age tales of the tautly sexy Eva and her younger brother Lali within the last days of the Communist stranglehold on the Eastern Block nation. A provocative, sensual and bittersweet look at the complicated tensions between rebellion and loyalty.

2) Movement on the Ground is a platform that supports micro charities to help meet their evolving needs during crisis. We aim to provide practical donations to existing initiatives and increase public awareness of their efforts. We believe a full response can only be achieved if small and large NGO's and entities work collaboratively.

From Los Angeles, California, USA:
Last night, after going to bed, a loud sound startled me as I was dosing off. Approximately 15 minutes later, I had a bad hypoglycemic reaction with a blood sugar reading of 34 mg/dl [1.8 mmol/L]. I treated it with a sweet natural snack and blueberries, then went back to bed. I woke with a blood sugar of 240 mg/dl [13.3 mmol/L]. Rather than eat breakfast, I gave myself three units of Humalog. By noon, four hours later, I was back to a blood sugar of 102 mg/dl [5.7 mmol/L]. At lunch, I ate a salad and one dinner roll, and gave myself four units of Humalog. One hour later my blood sugar had shot up to 230 mg/dl [12.8 mmol/L]. First, can getting startled as I did cause a serious hypoglycemic reaction? My night routine was exactly as it normally is. Second, should I expect my sugar readings to bounce around like this after such a low hypoglycemic reaction? For the record, I am very fit at 5'11" 160 pounds. I work out six days a week, eat a fairly low-carbohydrate diet (no junk food) and take 14 units of Lantus and between three and four units of Humalog with each meal. My A1c is 5.4.
"Rebound" effects can occur with hypoglycemia. The fact that you were awakened most likely was a precursor to the hypoglycemia, not the other way around. I would discuss your glucoses with your physician as you may need to adjust your regimen due to your diet and exercise regimen.

Canada's economy shrank 0.1% in January
Slight contraction was better than what economists had been forecasting
Canada's gross domestic product shrank by 0.1 per cent in January, a weak showing, but better than what economists had been expecting.
Statistics Canada said Monday the service sector declined by 0.3 per cent even as the goods-producing industry rose by 0.3 per cent.
This is better than expected.- Scotiabank's take on the weak GDP showing
After shrinking in December, oil and gas production actually increased 2.6 per cent in January as Canada's oil producers kept pumping oil despite low prices.
"Scratching under the surface, not all is well in the oil and gas segment (of course)," Scotiabank said in a research note after the data came out. "Support activities for mining, oil and gas fell by two per cent month over month [and] activity in traditional oil and gas extraction fell."
All the growth came from non-conventional oil and gas extraction (such as oilsands oil), which can be more volatile.
David Madani at Capital Economics said the 0.1 per cent contraction was better than he was expecting, but he doubts it is sustainable. "We still think that the sharp drop in oil prices will be more negative for Canadian economic growth and underlying inflation than the [Bank of Canada] is hoping for. Accordingly, we still expect another 25 basis point rate cut at some point soon," he said in a note to clients.
On the services side, just about everything was smaller, but the data agency attributed the drop to decreases in wholesale and retail trade and — to a lesser extent — in transportation and warehousing services, accommodation and food services.
Still, the overall 0.1 per cent contraction was better than the consensus of expectations, which was for a 0.2 per cent contraction.
"This is better than expected," Scotiabank said. "Sometimes bad news (today's negative GDP print) can be good news (it wasn't worse)."

Abstract: The economy of South Africa is distinctively bifurcated. While a developed modern sector continues to expand, a substantial segment of the population has been excluded from the formal economy. This exclusion, in combination with the spatial impact of apartheid, has manifested in the crippled market development of defined geographic regions of the country, namely townships. Soweto, the conglomeration of townships southwest of Johannesburg, which represents South Africa's largest urban residential area, has a negligible economic footprint, despite constituting well over one-third of the population of Johannesburg. Furthermore, high levels of unemployment continue to plague Soweto and household incomes remain low. This phenomenon has motivated the investigation of strategies to reduce the disparity between the human capital potential and the economic output of Soweto and to economically empower the low-income population of the region. Over the course of the past decade, increased investment in the retail trade sector has been made by national retailers in Soweto accompanying the proliferation of shopping mall developments in the community. This study applied a quantitative approach to estimate the socioeconomic impact of retail investment in Soweto between the years of 2005 and 2015. The surge in retail investment has caused economic growth in the region, but due to market and policy failures the benefits of growth are not proportionately accruing to the low-income population.

Now that I've been back from the Retreat for a week, I've settled in enough to tell you about all the knitting I've been up to for the Fall Festival KAL. I promised pictures of my Peabody Pullover after the retreat, and boy oh boy, did Amy deliver. I'm lucky to have such a talented photographer for a boss.
- Shortened the hem ribbing to 2″. The original has very long ribbing as a design element, but I knew that wouldn't work for my hips. (Though my hips are definitely wider than my bust, you could say I'm a proportional shape due to my linebacker shoulders! Nevertheless, stretching a vast expanse of ribbing over my hips isn't a flattering look for my shape.)
- Changed the sleeves to 3/4 instead of long. This was entirely motivated by lack of yarn: I finished with a swatch and a half left, so I think I did a good job of maximizing the yarn I had!
Remember when I said I was going to knit three sweaters in three months for the Fall Festival KAL? So far it's going swimmingly. After finishing Peabody, I dropped everything to knit a sample of one of Amy's designs to be released at the Make. Wear. Love. Retreat. Thirteen days, size four needles, sportweight yarn … let's just say it was a close one, but I'm so happy with the result. We're releasing the patterns very soon, but here's a quick preview for you …
How's your progress coming? The KAL ends on November 15, so you still have plenty of time to knit a CustomFit sweater!

Critics' Best Backhanded Compliments of Michael Bay and Transformers: Dark of the Moon
"The funniest, best-executed film in the Earth-protecting robots-that-look-like-cars-and-trucks series ... [is] as head-slappingly stupid as ever."
The third installment of Michael Bay's Transformers franchise, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, arrived in theaters yesterday, as laden with explosions and robots and ass shots as anyone could hope from a Michael Bay extravaganza. It is currently clocking in at 36 percent at Rotten Tomatoes, which is not all that low considering its predecessor, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, only scored a 20 percent. Of course, the almost universally deplored Revenge had not only highly questionable racial politics, it was so bad Shia LaBeouf and Bay both admitted to being disappointed in it. So, basically, Dark of the Moon's current Rotten Tomato score tells us it is much better than a really horrible movie. Do you see what we did there? We gave Dark of the Moon a compliment that was actually an insult! Also doing this: most critics. The reviews of Dark of the Moon are a master class in the backhanded compliment. (Notable exception: Our own David Edelstein, who complimented the movie with actual compliments.) With this film, Michael Bay seems to have created a semi-enjoyable commodity that some critics sort of didn't hate sitting through, but that they can't — or won't — respect anyway. To encapsulate these countervailing sentiments, reviewers have craftily found new and exciting ways to praise Michael Bay and his movie while simultaneously undermining and insulting them. Take a look.
"I might as well come out and say that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is among Mr. Bay's best movies and by far the best 3-D sequel ever made about gigantic toys from outer space. I apologize if this sounds like faint praise, but let me provide some perspective." —Times
"With Transformers the third time is apparently the charm. Not that there's much that's actually charming about Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It is the same sort of deafening mayhem celebration as its two absolutely awful predecessors. Except this time it works. Or at least it isn't fully repugnant. OK, I'll admit it — this is hard — the big silly thing is sort of great."—Detroit News
"He's a seductive devil, that Bay." —Post
"What makes Transformers: Dark of the Moon interesting, to the extent that something that's so fundamentally idiotic and soul-deadening can also be "interesting," is what you might call its aesthetic and ontological ambivalence. To put that in English, Bay doesn't seem quite sure what kind of movie he's making, or what the point of it is." —Salon
"I have to admit that during the times that I wasn't feeling whatever intelligence the movie was pummeling out of me being actively insulted, I did kind of enjoy the spectacle." —MSN
"If Transformers: Dark of the Moon isn't the summer's lousiest whiz-bang movie, it's only because there's so much competition." —Minnesota Star Tribune
"This latest eruption qualifies for 'most revived franchise' status, if only because scripter Ehren Kruger, the guilty pen behind Transformers 2, has literally found the plot, any plot." —Toronto Star
"There is something awe-inspiring about Bay's sheer commitment to scale — augmented now by that state-of-the-art anti-audience weapon, 3-D. But marveling at its grotesque gigantism doesn't make this two-and-a-half-hour-long movie any less dull." —Slate
"To [Bay's] credit, during the first hour and a half or so of this two-and-a-half-hour epic, there are several lucid stretches At times, the chaos he creates within the film frame is so abstract and exaggerated — think of him as Action Jackson Pollock — it can feel exhilarating, but the relentlessness is exhausting." —Globe and Mail
"All in all: big fat brainless entertainment from director Michael Bay, who takes his trademark cinematic excess to bold new heights of distended self-parody. I mean lows. I mean, is there a difference in a movie like this?"—Houston Chronicle
"We also have parameters for the best and the worst we can expect from Michael Bay, Hollywood's reigning auteur of destruction and babe ogling Dark of the Moon is hardly a fleet production, but here Bay makes his best, most flexible use yet of all the flamboyant bigness at his command: Computer-drawn characters and human actors seem to occupy the same narrative for once." —EW
"The funniest, best-executed film in the Earth-protecting robots-that-look-like-cars-and-trucks series, Moon delivers the popcorn in gigantic fist-fulls of fun. It's as head-slappingly stupid as ever, a product placement action film with a Camaro as a hero. But Michael Bay's cartoon-come-to-life co-opts NASA history and re-decorates Chicago with a gusto as over-the-top as any manic Shia LaBeouf rant." —Orlando Sentinel

Paraliminal Recordings
Showing all 7 results
Special Bulletin for anyone who has ever purchased subliminal or other self-help recordings… Imagine this… You will hear one voice in one ear speaking to one part of your brain, while another voice in the other ear speaks to a different part of the brain. Very unusual, very pleasurable, and very effective. There are no "questionable" subliminal messages on our CDs. You will find no short-term motivational hype. You will not hear fluffy affirmations or wishful positive statements. Rather, you will hear Paul R. Scheele, skillfully guide your mind so that you get the results you want. To improve your life, sometimes all it takes is guidance to evoke your inner wisdom. Paraliminal recordings increase your personal power by activating your "whole mind" with a precise blend of music and words. Each session is carefully scripted by Paul, trained in neuro-linguistic programming, whole mind learning, and preconscious processing, to give you the best CD for your investment. Paraliminal defined Paraliminal learning sessions are audio CDs. Each one presents creative new ideas to help individuals overcome internal obstacles and achieve personal and professional goals. They are unique in their application of the latest educational technologies. "Para" is the Latin prefix meaning "beyond". "Liminal" refers to the "limen" or "threshold" of conscious awareness. The term literally means, "beyond the threshold of conscious awareness". The term was coined, in part, to distinguish it from "subliminal" which means, "below the threshold". In psychological literature, subliminal refers to information that cannot be consciously perceived. With the Paraliminal learning sessions, the listener can hear separate messages coming into each ear, but it is beyond the conscious mind's ability to process both messages simultaneously for more than a few moments. The result is an interesting multi-level communication to different hemispheres of the brain. The listener can choose which ear's information to attend to, and one's attention tends to switch from time to time. Consequently, the conscious mind's experience of the CD is different with each listening session. Yet, the other-than-conscious [referred to as "paraconscious" by Lozanov (1978)] receives the entire message each time. Special Holosync audio tones are embedded in the recordings so that you automatically enter the ideal brain state for relaxation and learning. State-of-the-art digital recording produces a soothing 3-D sound that allows music and voices to project spatially in your head. Truly, nothing else gets results like a Paraliminal CD. Customers say that these are the best recordings they have ever heard. "Paraliminal" is not "subliminal" Many of our customers had been using subliminal and relaxation tapes without getting benefits they had been promised. They asked to develop recordings using the advanced human performance technologies that have made our seminars so popular and effective. "Subliminal" recordings hide positive statements or affirmations in music or environment sounds. The theory is that if you listen to subliminals for 30 to 60 days you will become whatever the messages say. But, 1) most people cannot listen to subliminals as often as directed; 2) the messages may have nothing to do with your state of being; 3) the National Research Council says there is no proof that the brain can act on such messages; and 4) the messagesif they can get into the brainmay even be harmful. One publisher has the message "if you don't quit smoking, you will get cancer." This is horrible because it is actually a command to "get cancer." Another has a message for a child's self-esteem, "I do things to please others"this can lead to dysfunctional behaviors that harm the child. You may be pleased to know that there are no subliminal messages on Paraliminal recordings. Paul R. Scheele introduces each Paraliminal CD with the purpose or programming parameters for the listening session. Then, Paul skillfully guides you to a state of relaxed alertness while original music plays in the background. When you are relaxed, music fades and Paul's voice transforms into multiple voices. The left voice generally weaves metaphors for the creative right brain, and the right voice generally leads you through logical change processes for the analytical left brain. The multiple voices soothe and relax. Do not try to listen to the voicesjust enjoy the flow and rhythm. To finish, Paul's voices become one and music returns as he guides you back to full alertness. Because of the power of the Paraliminal process, you do not have to listen to Paraliminals nonstop to get results. Follow the guidelines presented in the instructions. The Secret to choosing Paraliminal CDs for your own use There is probably no easier or more enjoyable way to make changes in your life than with the Paraliminal CDs. The effects can be dramatic or they can be subtle. Whichever the case, these powerful tools can help make your life much better. Which titles should be in your self-improvement library? Ideally, get them all, because they are invaluable when life's crises arise. If you cannot afford all of the CDs you want right now, get the ones you feel would benefit you most. Follow your intuition. Choose the CDs that draw you. You are bound to receive more benefit from CDs that catch your intrigue than you are from CDs you should be listening to. Many customers recommend beginning with four or five CDs, because it will be easier to see results right away. As you experience results, order additional CDs to build your library. You never know when a CD will come in handy. All of the Paraliminal CDs complement each other, and they all work well together. Just as there are many ways to get to Chicago, there are many ways to accomplish your goals using the Paraliminals. Paraliminal recordings can help you make peaceful changes so that you are happy and satisfied. If you do not do something, no one else will do it for you. If you want to change, you have to do it yourself. Even outrageously successful people use Paraliminal CDs, because they realize they can always improve. Paul Scheele has skillfully crafted these tools using his unique expertise to assure you receive the results easily and as effortlessly as possible. Paraliminal CDs can help you create a life in which you always look forward to waking each morning. How to listen to Paraliminal CDs Unlike subliminal recordings, you do not have to listen to Paraliminals repeatedly. Each CD comes with instructions as well as a special booklet with tips. Paraliminal sessions average twenty minutes so you do not have to spend a lot of time to make the changes you desire. To get the full effect, we recommend using stereo headphones. More about Paul Scheele As an award-winning published speaker, Paul Scheele addresses corporation and conventions and is a frequent guest speaker at international educational conferences. Paul's presentations confront human development challenges with practical advice and transferable skills. Paul weaves his unique expertise in neuro-linguistic programming, accelerative learning, and preconscious processing to develop and present leading edge, provocative programs. His mission is "helping people discover and use their full potential." Frequently Asked Questions Holosync Audio Technology Holosync audio tones, which you might hear as a hum, have been embedded in the recordings of the 22 individual Paraliminal CDs to increase your ability to benefit and learn from these Paraliminal sessions. Centerpointe Research Institute's Holosync audio technology, when listened to with stereo headphones, creates the electrical brain wave patterns of many desirable states. These states include deep meditation, increased creativity, focus and concentration, and accelerated learning ability. Using Holosync creates new neural pathways between the left and right brain hemispheres, balancing the brain, enhancing mental/emotional health, improving mental functioning and self-awareness, and healing unresolved emotional problems. Holosync on the Paraliminals are Alpha and Theta level entrainments that do not directly correspond to "levels" of the Centerpointe Research Institute program. Paraliminals that are part of other personal learning courses are not embedded with Holosync. Listening to Paraliminal sessions Unlike subliminals, you do not have to listen to Paraliminal learning sessions repeatedly. Each comes with instructions. Some programs will require multiple listenings over a week or two, and others will just require one listening. They average 20 minutes, so you do not have to spend a lot of time to make changes you desire. You can listen to multiple sessions each day. Give yourself at least a 20-minute break between sessions. To get the full effect, we recommend using stereo headphones. Do not listen to Paraliminals while driving. Selecting programs that are right for you Follow your intuition. Order CDs that attract you. Customers say that 4 or 5 CDs is the best selection to begin with, because it makes it easier to see results right away. As you experience results, order additional CDs to build your self-improvement libraryyou never know when a CD will come in handy. That is why we created The Ultimate You Library. You can order all of the Paraliminals up front and save. The CDs average 20 minutes in length. Spend only a little time with them to make the changes you desire. Each CD comes with a 20-page booklet. To get the full effect, use stereo headphones. Do not listen to Paraliminals when driving. Using Paraliminals with other programs Paraliminal learning sessions complement most other audio/video programs available and can be used with other programs to enhance results. Children Paraliminal learning sessions are designed for people ages 13 and above.

I am as tired of this election as anything in a long time. My heart is battered, bruised, held together some days with tape and string. Even my ears hurt…
What happened to truth? And to the civil discourse that accompanies its pursuit? My training is in research as well as writing, so when I read things that don't sound right, I look them up. It's pretty easy to do these days — doesn't require days in the dusty library stacks, as it used to. 🙂
But when I've found (& vectored) credible sources refuting the latest conspiracy theory (and liberals have them too, my leftist friends…), that's when things can get ugly. I don't mind that people have dropped me from their FaceBook feeds (well, sometimes I do, but I understand). It's hard to see criticism of someone you admire as objective. We far too often conflate political rhetoric's fallout with real bias.
So if I criticise Romney, I can understand if you might think I'm anti-Mormon. And that a complaint about Obama might be taken as racist. When neither of those (or both) might be true of critics of both candidates.
When did that happen? When did we lose the capacity to sit down at a table, over sweet tea & fixings, and really talk? I have friends with whom I disagree politically. I don't see them as racist, or narrow-minded. I feel their religious views differ from mine, and I respect that. They respect me, in return. We don't spend a lot of time discussing politics; it's pointless, really. But when we do, we agree: sticks & stones HURT.
I don't have answers. Once again, I only have questions. I'm not unfriending anyone, although I confess to muting a couple of folks who are given to vicious racism & (verifiable) lies. Still, even those people have redeeming qualities. And I hope that, eventually, political elephants & donkeys (like lambs & lions) can get along. I'm not holding my breath, but I've also not given up hope… 🙂

Monkey maths! Apes and humans not only share traits such as opposable thumbs, expressive faces and social systems, they also have in common the ability to understand numbers, researchers say.
A new study with a troop of zoo baboons and lots of peanuts shows that a less obvious trait - the ability to understand numbers - also is shared by humans and their primate cousins.
"The human capacity for complex symbolic math is clearly unique to our species," said co-author Jessica Cantlon, assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
"In this study we've shown that non-human primates also possess basic quantitative abilities. In fact, non-human primates can be as accurate at discriminating between different quantities as a human child," Cantlon said.
"This tells us that non-human primates have in common with humans a fundamental ability to make approximate quantity judgements," said Cantlon.
"Humans build on this talent by learning number words and developing a linguistic system of numbers, but in the absence of language and counting, complex math abilities do still exist."
The study tracked eight olive baboons, aged four to 14, in 54 separate trials of guess-which-cup-has-the-most-treats.
Researchers placed one to eight peanuts into each of two cups, varying the numbers in each container.
The baboons guessed the larger quantity roughly 75 per cent of the time on easy pairs when the relative difference between the quantities was large.
But when the ratios were more difficult to discriminate, say six versus seven, their accuracy fell to 55 per cent.
That pattern, researchers say, helps to resolve a standing question about how animals understand quantity.
The baboons' choices relied on this latter "more than" or "less than" cognitive approach, known as the analog system, researchers said.
Research has shown that children who have not yet learned to count also depend on such comparisons to discriminate between number groups, as do human adults when they are required to quickly estimate quantity.
The study relied on zoo baboons with no prior exposure to experimental procedures. Additionally, a control condition tested for human bias by using two experimenters - each blind to the contents of the other cup.
"What's surprising is that without any prior training, these animals have the ability to solve numerical problems," says Cantlon.
The results indicate that baboons not only use comparisons to understand numbers, but that these abilities occur naturally and in the wild, researchers conclude.
The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Comparative Psychology.

Done and Dusted!
2017Article posted by Gilly
That's a funny expression but it really does sum up the finish of my solo exhibition on 26th November. It is now all done and dusted! It was quite an experience and although sales weren't as good as I would have liked, at least I covered my costs and the week was extremely confidence-boosting with so many compliments and words like 'amazing', 'awesome', 'talented', 'beautiful', 'extraordinary' and 'wonderful' being poured into my ears about the display. One man even said that he goes to all the exhibitions there as he lives just across the road, and mine was the best he'd ever seen!!! I may not be able to find a hat to fit my head for many months to come!!!

Barnes, who led the Bruins to the 1962 Rose Bowl, died Thursday at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, said his great-nephew, Bill Ferguson.
Barnes' 15 years at UCLA -- eight as an assistant under Sanders and seven as head coach -- were highlighted by the Rose Bowl run during the 1961 season, when the Bruins won their conference before losing to Minnesota, 21-3, in the Rose Bowl game.
Born Oct. 20, 1917, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Barnes became a running back and defensive back at Memphis Central High and the University of Tennessee. He played on the 1939 Tennessee team that did not allow a point until losing to USC 14-0 in the 1940 Rose Bowl.
Barnes entered the Army during World War II, serving in the South Pacific. He joined the Alamo Scouts, which operated behind enemy lines to provide intelligence gathering and tactical reconnaissance.
"He told me one time they were coming up a hill and a Japanese patrol was coming up the other side," Ferguson said Friday. "The light was at their back, so the Japanese couldn't tell who they were and waved. They were so far behind enemy lines, the Japanese just figured it had to be another one of their patrols."
Barnes ended up leading a battalion and was awarded the Legion of Merit, Silver Star and two Bronze Stars.
He began coaching football after the war, spending three years as an assistant at the University of Arkansas before Sanders brought him to UCLA in 1950. He was an assistant on the Bruins' national championship team in 1954. Sanders died before the 1958 season and was replaced by assistant George Dickerson, who stepped down because of nervous exhaustion after three games.
Barnes took over and the Bruins finished with a 3-6-1 record. He had a 31-34-3 record overall in seven seasons as UCLA's head coach, but his teams struggled after the 1962 Rose Bowl. His attachment to the old single-wing offense drew criticism, as the Bruins were one of only three college teams using the offense in 1961. He resigned after the 1964 season after learning that Athletic Director J.D. Morgan was not going to renew his contract.
"He was a man of great character; sometimes maybe he was too nice," said Sam Boghosian, who played for UCLA and later became one of Barnes' assistants and a coach for the NFL's Raiders. "He cared about his players and their families. What happened at the end, I would like to see anyone who could have done better. We opened against Pittsburgh, Penn State, played at Syracuse, Notre Dame and Illinois. That's a pretty tough road to haul."
In 2002, Barnes recalled the meeting with Morgan, saying, "He said, 'How do you tell an old friend that you have to let him go?' Heck, we were never friends."
Still, Barnes kept close ties with UCLA and maintained a longtime friendship with basketball coach John Wooden.
Barnes' last recruiting class, which included eventual Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Gary Beban, was the backbone of Coach Tommy Prothro's early success at UCLA. The Bruins had a 24-5-2 record the three seasons after Barnes was pushed out.
He never coached again, though he did scout for some NFL teams. He went into real estate and was one of the first to develop the Coto de Caza planned community in south Orange County, "back when it was just an empty field," Ferguson said.
Barnes is survived by his wife of 62 years, Frances. The couple had no children.
Services are pending.
