The best way to contact Billing is to email [email protected] or call 1-419-290-3533 Monday-Friday 8am to 10pm Eastern Time.
If you need to change your billing method or billing cycle, You can either fill out a trouble ticket at our HelpDesk or login into our billing cneter found here. https://www.realwebhost.net/mbill/
It may or not be possible to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. The first place to begin is with a TRACEROUTE.
The traceroute program traces the path that your data is passing through on its way to your intended destination.
To run a traceroute on a Windows95 or Windows98 machine, go to your MS-DOS prompt (Click Start, then Programs, then MS-DOS Prompt) From the prompt type this command: tracert mydomain.com where mydomain.com is the destination address you're trying to reach. The tracert command will provide something that looks like the following:
C:>tracert tintagel.net Tracing route to tintagel.net [22.214.171.124] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 133 ms 135 ms 115 ms 184.108.40.206 2 125 ms 120 ms 120 ms swo.fullnet.net [188.8.131.52] 3 145 ms 165 ms 160 ms 126.96.36.199 4 150 ms 245 ms 295 ms fullnet-gw.okcity.good.net [220.127.116.11] 5 620 ms 514 ms 1135 ms sj-gw.okcity.good.net [22.214.171.124] 6 213 ms 389 ms 320 ms mae-west.nap.net [184.108.40.206] 7 210 ms 244 ms 190 ms NChicago2-core0.nap.net [188.8.131.52] 8 200 ms 545 ms 188 ms chi2-olm-ds3.axxs.net [184.108.40.206] 9 205 ms 215 ms 240 ms tintagel.net [220.127.116.11] Trace complete. C:>
In the above example, it's taken me 8 "hops" to get from my PC to my domain, tintagel.net The first "node", indicated by the number 1 in the first column, represents my PC. Nodes 1 and 2 are my ISP's servers. Nodes 4 and 5 are my ISP's primary backbone connection. Nodes 6 and 7 are tintagel's backbone provider. Node 8 is the server on which tintagel.net resides. Node 9 is my domain, tintagel.net. The next three columns represent the average, minimum, and maximum "ping" time in milliseconds), or the time that it took for data to be transmitted between adjacent nodes.
In this case, node 5 was the slowest node, and had pretty high ping times, indicating a potential problem between nodes 4 and 5. If this "lag" remains consistent, and or if multiple nodes have high lag times, it could result in data being lost during transmission, or it could cause the tintagel.net server to get tired of waiting, and return a server timeout error.If I had seen something like the following: C:>tracert tintagel.net Tracing route to tintagel.net [184.108.40.206] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 133 ms 135 ms 115 ms 220.127.116.11 2 125 ms 120 ms 120 ms swo.fullnet.net [18.104.22.168] **** **** **** it would have meant that my ISP (node 2)could not establish a connection to the next node on the path.
If the traceroute makes it all the way to the axxs.net node, then stops, it might indicate that there's a problem on our server with your particular account, although it's not a definite indication of a problem on our end. That's a good thing to let us know. We'll get the problem resolved as soon as possible
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, U.S. checks, U.S. money orders and International money orders. Check payments require a minimum of a yearly payment. If you would like to pay monthly, you can do so using your credit card.

You can login to your Billing Control Panel 24 hours a day by visiting https://www.realwebhost.net/mbill/index.php and logging in with the user name / password found in your confirmation email under "Billing Control Panel"
You can do this by going to https://www.realwebhost.net/upgrade/changeplans.php 24 hours a day.
When you signed up, we guaranteed you a Price & Service Freeze,
meaning we would never alter your package or pricing as long as you remained up
to date on billing, Due to the way our billing system and servers are
configured, you will not be automatically given new features or upgrades. (Its
very rare that we change packages, but it may happen once every few years)
Upgrading current services are based on the pricing your currently paying, your monthly fee will not be changed, this is because when we make a major change, at times the package name will change but they may be named similar to past packages, we try to keep our services in line with old packages, but sometimes that may not be feasible. That's why we base new packages on pricing rather then package names. Your account will be upgraded to the current package matching your monthly fee.
Its also important to note that current customers can not upgrade their account based on current specials because when you signed up with RWH, you signed up under a previous special or promotion which we may have offered, which may of included a free domain, free setup or another type of discount, we can not allow customers to "double up" (if that's the right word for it) since you would in effect be getting twice the specials as other customers.
If you want to update your account to the current package matching your pricing, You can fill out the upgrade at https://www.realwebhost.net/upgrade
Alias Record:
A unique Alias Record should be created for each physical host in your domain that you desire to address using a DNS name such as mycomputer.mydomain.com. Enter a hostname for your computer and the IP address of the computer that you want that name to point towards. Technical Notes: An Alias is the same as a BIND "A" Record. You may add multiple Alias's with the same hostname but different IP's to provide systems redundancy if you have multiple computers providing the same services.
MX Record:
A Mailserver Record specifies a host to receive mail for your domain. i.e. Mail sent to realwebhso.net gets delivered to the host mail.realwebhso.net. The hostname of a Mailserver must be an Alias Record. Do not use a CNAME.
CNAME Record:
A CNAME Record creates a pointer from a name to an alias name. i.e. You may wish to have the name ftp.yourname.com point to webserver.yourname.com. To do this create a CNAME record from ftp to webserver.yourname.com. This allows you to refer to already named machines without having to worry about IP addresses.

This error means there is a problem with the outgoing mail server. Open a trouble ticket and copy the complete error in the ticket. For a temporary solution until the matter is resolved, change your Outgoing Mail Server to your ISP's local mail server, this is usually smtp.yourisp.net or mail.yourisp.net Synopsis Connecting to your account from your local computer involves your ISP, a series of outbound routers, a series of inbound routers, and our server. Often, as many as 12 - 24 individual computers are involved in the transmission of data between your computer and your account on our servers. Of those 12 - 24 computers, only one is ours.
While it's easy to blame us for every problem the internet experiences, in the overwhelming majority of cases the problems do not originate with us, and there's nothing we can do to fix them. The information below describes the process in more detail and may assist you in locating the source of the problem.
NOTE: The Internet is not 100% reliable and it probably never will be. You can increase the reliability of your own access to the Internet by maintaining two or more separate ISP accounts, each of which is preferably connected to the Internet by a different backbone. If you're having trouble connecting with one dial-up account, switch to an alternative and see if the problem improves. That's an expensive solution, but if reliable access is important to you, it may be worth the added cost.
When you initially log into the root of your account, dependant upon the method which you choose to log in, you will see various hidden files and directories, among them, the two that hold the most importance are the public_html and public_ftp directories.
public_ftp public_html DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME any of these directories or any hidden files that you may find. These directories are automatically setup by the system and required in order for your account to function. Deleting or renaming any of them will cause fatal errors that can only be repaired by deleting and resetting your account.
Deleting and resetting your account will inadvertently cause you to experience DNS problems.
DNS problems are not something that can be manually fixed, as they can only work themselves out in an unpredictable amount of time. Of these directories, the ONLY ONE that is important to you is the public_html directory. This is the directory where you will upload your web pages and create other subdirectories that will pertain to your web site and be viewable from your web browser.
Your pages WILL NOT be viewable on a web browser unless they are uploaded to this directory. When you initially enter your public_html directory, you will see only one directory, which is your cgi-bin. The cgi-bin is where you upload your cgi scripts.
DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME your cgi-bin. As you add features from your Control Panel, the system will automatically create other directories within this area. ANY AND ALL sub-directories and/or files created by the system are required by the system to make a particular function operate and SHOULD NOT BE DELETED OR ALTERED IN ANY WAY.
The index.html page is the default entry page for your account and this file SHOULD BE REPLACED by one of your own design, but IT MUST BE named index.html.
The next step in setting up
your account is choosing how you wish to upload your files. You can use one of
the following programs to upload your site
1) Ws_FTP LE
2) CuteFTP
3) Netscape Composer
4) Dream Weaver 3
5) FrontPage98
6) FrontPage2000
7) LeapFTP
Most programs you will use to upload like FTP will ask you for the following settings: HOST/SERVER: yourdomain.com or IP_address USERNAME: yourdomain (without .com, .net, etc.) PASSWORD: sent to you in your welcome letter Host/Server: This is yourdomain name without "www". Also, please note that for the first 10 days you will want to use your IP_Address to upload your files. Your IP_Address can be found in the welcome letter that was sent to you when you signed up. If you have any difficulty accessing your account with the domain name after this period, please submit your request to [email protected] If you have registered your domain with any registrar other than Network Solutions, please make sure that you have followed the transfer procedures outlined in your order confirmation email. This message should be titled "Welcome to Real Web Host!". Directory Path: This is the directory to which you will need to upload your files. Your directory path will always be public_html.
Version 4.0.20 (stable release) Real Web Host NEVER runs beta version of MySQl. We will only upgrade when stable release versions are available.
Version 4.3.9
If you select a monthly contract, you are billed 1 months fees, and the setup fee. If you select a long term contract you are charged for the # of months of the contract X the monthly cost, plus the setup fee. If you select for us to register your domain name for you, you are charged $9.50/year.
If you are unsatisfied with your service for any reason, or just want to cancel your account, within the first 30 days you can do so and you will be refunded 100% excluding your setup fees. To cancel your account, simply email at us [email protected]
Simply login into the billing area and update your profile.

There are two software packages that we find very useful for examining problems with internet connections. Both of these programs are "shareware" programs, meaning that you can download them and try them out for free.
If you like them, you should register them by paying a nominal fee. http://www.neoworx.com/neotrace NEOTRACE is a high-speed graphical traceroute with integrated whois and ping. It is extremely fast, simple to use and returns a wealth of information. NeoTrace is very popular for detecting network problems and finding net information, it is also a great tool for spam hunters. http://www.vitalsigns.com/netmedic NET-MEDIC is a browser companion.
It works with a user's browser to monitor, isolate, diagnose, and correct Internet or intranet performance problems. Net.Medic lets users identify the source of their network bottleneck -- whether it is the PC, modem, Internet Service Provider (ISP), Internet backbone, or remote Web site server. Net.Medic identifies problems in split seconds, offers recommendations for solving them, and in many cases, automatically fixes them.
Using these two programs in combination can be a very effective way of isolating the source of the problem, and can help you to determine whether to complain about the problem, and to whom to address the complaint.
If you don't pay your domain name registration fees in a timely manner, your domain registrar will cancel your domain name registration, making your web site unreachable by domain name, and re-opening your domain name for registration by other parties.
If you cannot connect by domain name, but can connect by numeric IP#, you want to be sure that you've paid your name registration. What Can I Do About It? Probably nothing. Chances are that server inaccesibility is due to one of the above conditions, and actions are already in place to get it fixed. If you're unable to connect to your account, wait a few minutes and try again. If you're unable to connect to your account for periods of more than 30 minutes, and if you experience these problems on a frequent basis, then please let us know. Sometimes, particularly if it's a problem with your ISP, disconnecting and reconnecting will resolve the problem. If you have access to a different ISP, try connecting through the second one to see if the situation improves.
We receive quite a few support questions from our customers with a frantic, "I can't connect to my server!" The usual assumption is that something is terribly wrong with our servers or connection. While this situation is not, of course, beyond the realm of possibility, the vast majority of connection problems do not originate with our equipment or our connections.
The purpose of this article is to describe some of the common sources of those annoying connection problems, and to provide some help in identifying the source of the problem.
Sometimes It's Amazing That It Works at All! Perhaps the best and simplest definition of the Internet is, "everybody's computer hooked together." The Internet is a somewhat fragile network of computers, servers, routers, and telephone lines designed to quickly transmit data over huge geographical distances.
When you connect to your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) from your computer at home or work, the data that is transmitted between your PC and the internet web sites, newsgroups, e-mail services, etc. that constitute the Internet passes through a large number of different machines, called routers. Your local ISP is connected to an internet "backbone", a network of routers that is owned by a single company.
The servers on which your domain is located also connect to a backbone, most likely a different backbone than the one your ISP is connected to. The routers along the internet backbones are programmed to find the shortest route between your PC and the internet destination you're trying to reach. In some cases, this shortest path can involve as many as 20 - 30 different routers. Any problem with any one of these routers, or with their connections, can result in your being unable to reach your intended destination.
The backbone routers are owned and maintained by independent third-party organizations, such as AT&T, MCI, and Microsoft. Neither your local ISP nor we have any control over the maintenance or operation of these routers. If they're broken, there's absolutely nothing we can do to fix them. Problems can also originate from heavier than usual traffic across one or more of the backbones. You know how traffic slows down during rush hour in the city.
Internet traffic works the same way. Too much data attempting to flow through a series of routers can become backed up, causing server timeouts and data loss. Problems can Originate at Your ISP, Too Occasionally, the routers at your ISP may have trouble connecting to the ISP's backbone routers.
This problem is well-indicated when you can't connect to *any* web site outside of your ISP's domain. Don't Forget the Phone Company The Internet runs on telephone lines. These lines are just as susceptible to problems as your home telephone service. We've seen lightning storms knock out telephone service, and we've heard reports of cables being cut by digging and other construction.
Sometimes We Take Our Servers Down on Purpose Routine maintenance and upgrades are often performed on our servers during the wee hours of the morning (usually between midnight and 5 a.m.) Usually, we can handle this maintenance in the background.
Some operations, however, require us to reboot the server. If this is the case, accessibility may be cut off for 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes the Silly Things Just Crash They are computers, after all. Yes, it's possible that something has gone terribly wrong, and the system has crashed. If this is the case, rest assured that we're aware of it, and are working feverishly to get it back up. Our systems are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the highest priority placed on keeping your web site accessible to the world. If the server's down, it will generally be back up in 15 - 30 minutes. Once in awhile, our domain name servers (DNS) become corrupt, or your domain name may somehow be left out of a DNS update.
This could be the problem if you're unable to connect to your domain name, but can connect without problem to your numeric IP address. We can correct this problem very quickly -- just ask us to take a look at it.

Incarnate Word's Garza scores only goal of game, defeats Regis (Colo.)
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Sophomore Alex de la Garza's goal with less than 17 minutes remaining was all that Incarnate Word needed to win 1-0 against Regis (Colo.) during Round 3 on Thursday.
"It was a very defensive type of game," UIW head coach Vince Martinez said. "They are a team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation for half the season, so we knew it was going to be a tough game."
De la Garza's goal pushed the Cardinals (15-3-1) into the quarterfinals for the first time since 2004. The goal came after de la Garza stripped a Rangers (17-2-1) defender of the ball and was able to beat the goalkeeper in a 1-on-1 situation at 73:19.
"I saw them passing the ball back and I saw it and just took advantage," de la Garza said. "It all happened so fast that I just tried to shoot the ball to the second post on the far side of the goal."
In the first half, the Rangers controlled the play. They only outshot the Cardinals 5-4, but had the better run of possession and had UIW on its heels for most of the half.
Martinez made a tactical change at halftime to put more players in the midfield and the decision paid off for UIW. "They were killing us in the middle, so we decided to make one little adjustment and it paid off," Martinez said.
The Cardinals switched roles with the Rangers and were the attackers in the second half. They fired 11 shots, including three on goal while the Rangers attempted seven with one on goal.

Vinalhaven is only a ferry ride away! From the Rockland Ferry Terminal it takes just over 1 hour to get to the island. There are six ferry departures daily: the first being at 7:00 am and the last one back at 4:30pm.
Find more information on schedules and fares by clicking HERE.
If you are coming for the day, there no need to bring your car as it is an easy island to walk and bike around on. Bike & car rentals at The Tidewater If you do need to drive on, a little more planning is required, so be sure to ask about line reservations and drive-on planning when calling the ferry office. There is also a local taxi company!
Vinalhaven Taxi (207) 720-0056.
Go for swim in one of the island's rock quarries! One of our favorite's is Booth Quarry Pond, just about 1.5 miles up the road from our shop. Or if salt water is what you prefer, Geary's Beach is a perfect little cove to go for a float.
Booth Quarry Pond ----- Geary's Beach
Vinalhaven Land Trust stewards eleven preserves on the island with over 15 miles of diverse hiking trails to the public. We recommend the Tip Toe trail for dynamic views of the Fox Islands, and the Lane's Island Preserve for its' Wyeth-esque meadows and craggy coastal windswept trails.
Take a look at the Trail map HERE!
These are some of our favorites restaurants, two of which are on North Haven, the next island over, which is a 5 min water taxi ride away across the Fox Island Thoroughfare. Water Taxi's are every hour, on the hour, serviced from Brown's Boatyard. You must call ahead to let them know you want a ride. Nebo Lodge will send a boat for you if you call ahead, and Salt you can casually walk down the street to on Vinalhaven. The Nightingale just opened this summer and they are a welcome addition to the island, they are also our next door neighbors!
Salt ----- Nebo Lodge ----- Calderwood Hall ----- The Nightingale
Last minute lodging can be tricky to find as people tend to book in advance and stay for a while, we can't blame them. Here are some of our recommendations of where to start your search. You can also take a look at the Vinalhaven Chamber of Commerce site for more lodging tips

When you install View Connection Server, the View Administrator user interface is also installed.
Although you can install View Connection Server on a physical machine, this example uses a virtual machine with the specifications listed in Connection Server Virtual Machine Example. The ESXi host for this virtual machine can be part of a VMware HA cluster to guard against physical server failures.
You can deploy multiple replicated View Connection Server instances in a group to support load balancing and high availability. Groups of replicated instances are designed to support clustering within a LAN-connected single-datacenter environment.
To use a group of replicated View Connection Server instances across a WAN, MAN (metropolitan area network), or other non-LAN, in scenarios where a View deployment needs to span datacenters, you must use the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. You can link together 25 View pods to provide a single large desktop brokering and management environment for five geographically distant sites and provide desktops and applications for up to 50,000 sessions. For more information, see Administering View Cloud Pod Architecture.
Remote Desktop Connections provides information about the tested limits regarding the number of simultaneous connections that a View deployment can accommodate.
This example assumes that View Connection Server is running on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise operating system.
Direct connection, RDP, Blast Extreme, or PCoIP:
PCoIP Secure Gateway connection:
PCoIP Secure Gateway connections are required if you use security servers or Access Point appliances for PCoIP connections from outside the corporate network. Blast Secure Gateway connections are required if you use security servers or Access Point appliances for Blast Extreme or HTML Access connections from outside the corporate network. Tunneled connections are required if you use security servers or Access Point appliances for RDP connections from outside the corporate network and for USB and multimedia redirection (MMR) acceleration with a PCoIP or Blast Secure Gateway connection. You can pair multiple security servers to a single View Connection Server instance.
Although the maximum number of simultaneous connections to security servers is also 2,000, instead of using just one security server per View Connection Server instance (with 2,000 sessions), you might choose to use 2 or 4. Monitoring of the security server might indicate that the activity for 2,000 users is too great. The required amount of memory and CPU usage might dictate that you add more security servers per View Connection Server instance to spread the load. For example, you might use 2 security servers, with each one handling 1,000 connections, or you might use 4 security servers, with each one handling 500 connections. The ratio of security servers to View Connection Server instances depends on the requirements of the particular environment.
The number of connections per Access Point appliance is similar to those for security servers. For more information about Access Point appliances, see Deploying and Configuring Access Point.
In this example, although 5 View Connection Server instances could handle 10,000 connections, the number 7 is shown in the table for availability planning purposes, to accommodate connections coming from both inside and outside of the corporate network.
For example, if you had 10,000 users, with 8,000 of them inside the corporate network, you would need 5 View Connection Server instances inside the corporate network. That way, if one of the instances became unavailable, the 4 remaining instances could handle the load. Similarly, for the 2,000 connections coming from outside the corporate network, you would use 2 View Connection Server instances so that if one became unavailable, you would still have one instance left that could handle the load.
VMware recommends to use 4 vCPUs and 10GB RAM for Access Point appliances to support maximum number of connections when used with Horizon View.

I wanted to share the pictures of the niche because this is something I have never seen before. They have glass fronts and the urn is placed inside but mementos can be added as desired. In one of the nearby niches, a young man had been killed in combat so it had his dog tags, pictures of him in his high school football uniform and other keepsakes. It was a beautiful tribute to his young life.

I ended up playing Wii for almost 2 hours with my friend Tony. We had a blast but I kept beating him at everything and he wasn't digging it LOL! He said "Katie, let's play something I can beat you at!" Classic!
After the service, I ended up at the bar for awhile. We had lunch and I had a few beers and a couple shots. I was pretty toasty when Dave came and got me and we went out to dinner. Needless to say I am belly aching this morning. I have not ate or drank like that in a long time. It used to be a regular occurrence. :-( I am a little tired today and plan on going home and getting jammies on right away. Until next time...

It feels wrong to admit when we're shocked to find out that someone is alive… still. It probably is wrong to admit that, but we're doing it anyway because we can't expect anyone to live forever, especially celebrities. A life of fame and fortune has its perks, oh yes, but it also has some major health risks, something everyone recognizes. Hollywood has never been known for its drug-free or safe-driving attitudes. In fact, it's better known for the exact opposite. Celebrities are rich and often foolish. They are exposed to copious opportunities to go wild and many of them do just that. But not all. Well, at least not all suffer the consequences of that lifestyle. The celebrities on this list have shown that they are quite capable of living forever. They may not be the oldest celebrities alive, though many of them are, but these are celebrities that we just assumed were dead, however horrible that sounds.
But really, can you blame us? When a celebrity leaves the public eye, we begin to wonder immediately if they're dead. They can be teenagers, and if we don't hear their name for over a year, our first thought is, rest in peace little guy. Now imagine what our thoughts are when someone leaves the public eye for years and years and they're like 60+ years old. What are we supposed to think? Of course they're dead. They were old back in the olden days. They've got to be long gone now. But no. Not these folks. These are the survivors, the outlasters, the live-foreverers. We don't just want to admire the ages and health of these stars, but we'll also look at their resume a bit, remembering their best work and reminding younger folks who these legends are. Here are 15 celebs who are actually still alive… and hopefully will remain that way for long after this list is published.
15 Sean Connery – 86 Years Old
You're thinking, of course Sean Connery is alive. But don't be so sure. Alright, you can be sure because he is still alive, but c'mon, this guy has been around a long time. He placed in the 1950 Mr. Universe competition (or 1953 depending on your source) for god's sake. That was 66 years ago if math isn't your strong suit. Plus, Connery hasn't been seen in front of a camera since 2003, so no one really knows what's going on behind the scenes in Mr. Scotland's life. Now, at age 86, Connery is retired from acting, though he has dabbled with some voice work in the last decade. By all accounts, Connery is in good health and looks primed to live another 86 years, so here's to the first Bond and the best Bond. We're still secretly hoping Connery comes back to the big screen.
14 Rick Moranis - 63 Years Old
If your first instinct is declare an actor dead if you haven't seen them in a while, then you've long since grieved for Rick Moranis. In about 1997, Moranis stepped away from acting and we haven't seen him since. After his wife died from breast cancer in 1991, Moranis found it more important to spend time with his family than in Hollywood, so he retired from acting (though he insists he's just picky about his future roles). But he's not dead, far from it. He's healthy and he's a good father. When asked about the hiatus, Moranis said, "I'm a single parent and I just found that it was too difficult to manage raising my kids and doing the traveling involved in making movies. So I took a little bit of a break. And the little bit of a break turned into a longer break, and then I found that I really didn't miss it." We miss you, Rick.
13 Cloris Leachman – 90 Years Old
Not only is Cloris Leachman alive and well at the tender age of 90, but she's still working like crazy. She's as busy as she's ever been. She's probably best known for her role as Phyllis Lindstrom on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but she's also been in so many great films, like Young Frankenstein and The Beverly Hillbillies. As mentioned, in her later life, Leachman has been incredibly active, not just active in film but literally active as well, even appearing on Dancing with the Stars in 2008 at the age of 82. She's a medical wonder having stayed healthy and looking great her entire life. In 1946, at the age of 20, Leachman competed in the 1946 Miss America contest. Most recently, she appeared in the American Gods TV show as Zorya and has also reprised her voice role as Gran in The Croods 2, set for release in 2018. If you're looking for a live-action modern reference, you may recognize Leachman as grandma in Bad Santa as well.
12 Doris Day – 89 Years Old
Doris Day is one of the biggest named celebrities ever to walk the earth. Day became a hit in 1945 with her song "Sentimental Journey", and she wouldn't look back for many, many years. She went to movies in the late 40s and, soon after, was a massive success in that industry as well, acting in classics like Teacher's Pet and Pillow Talk. She's received just about every lifetime achievement award you can win, and she's recognized as one of the greatest stars we've ever seen. While it's been many years since she's been in film, Day released an album in 2011 at the age of 89. If you're counting, that would put her at 94 (though Day claims that she is only 92, that cheeky bird). She remains a national icon and even if you don't know who she is or what she's done, you almost certainly know her name.
11 Bob Newhart – 87 Years Old
Most recently playing Arthur Jeffries on The Big Bang Theory, Bob Newhart's name pops up on this list because we're surprised he's still alive, not really because of his age, after all, he's only 87 years old, but because he's always been old. Like way back when Newhart starred on The Bob Newhart Show (the second one in 1972), he looked old. At least, he looked a lot older than 43 years old. Well that was 44 years ago. He's doubled in age since then. You see how this math thing works? If you're struggling to remember Newhart more recently, you might recognize him as Papa Elf in Elf, Will Ferrell's dad… er, papa. Newhart is one of comedy's living legends, having been in the comedy industry since the late 50s. His comedy albums are still thought of as some of the best to have ever been made.
10 Roger Moore – 88 Years Old
At the young age of 88, Roger Moore is one of the youngest stars on this list, but since he hasn't been seen a whole lot in recent years, we felt we should include his name on the list. Best known for his turn at playing James Bond, Moore has been a working actor for over 70 years. Even though he probably wasn't a household name in the United States until the 70s, Moore was in several successful TV shows prior to that. Since Bond, he hasn't done really anything of note, though he has kept quite busy. He's even got a few things on the docket for the upcoming years as well, so keep a lookout for the martini-drinking gentleman. There was also some big thing about him not paying taxes years back, but he's probably not alone in that.
9 Jerry Lewis – 90 Years Old
Most people remember Jerry Lewis as one half of the comedic duo with Dean Martin. The two were inseparable and insanely popular around the world. Lewis and Martin would appear in no less than 16 films together, until their partnership died off in 1956. After that, Lewis would create and flourish in a solo career, one that he still upholds today, as seen in his latest film The Trust. Now at 90 years old, Lewis isn't as zany as he once was and he's had some health issues in the past. His public appearances have dropped off dramatically in recent years, so we hope everything is going well for the comedian. If you're trying to picture him, think back to the original The Nutty Professor, not the Eddie Murphy one. You know, the guy who's always cross-eyed and looking like a goof? That's Jerry Lewis in a nutshell.
Featured Today
8 Carl Reiner – 94 Years Old
Writer, producer, director, creator and actor, Carl Reiner has done it all in the film industry. 94 years old and still looking like he's going strong, Reiner has been around forever. He first started acting in the 40s and has stuck with it up until now, even though most of his work lately has been voice work. Younger readers would probably recognize Reiner best as Saul from the Ocean's Eleven movies, but he's done so much throughout his long career. It's crazy to think that Carl is the father of actor and director Rob Reiner, who is 69 years old himself. Reiner is probably most famous for having created The Dick Van Dyke show in the 60s or working alongside Mel Brooks in a few pictures.
7 Dick Van Dyke – 90 Years Old
You may not even know how you know Dick Van Dyke, but you know him nonetheless. This is a man who's been a household name since the 60's and has remained in the public eye for most of that time. In 2013, Van Dyke first started reporting some health issues, and he took a step back from work, finally. Soon after, however, he seemed to overcome them and has come back to work, still acting and still dancing. Van Dyke is best known for his TV show, The Dick Van Dyke Show but not far behind that is his great performance and incredibly horrible accent in Mary Poppins. Now 90 years old, Van Dyke still looks strong and healthy.
6 Ed Asner – 86 Years Old
Like a few of the other celebs on this list, Ed Asner isn't here because he's old. At 86 years old, he's relatively young compared to the other list members. Asner is here because it seems like he's been around for an eternity, and for the entire time he's been around, he's looked pretty old. Asner has been in the industry since the 50s, but he became a huge name in the 70s with his character Lou Grant from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and then his own spin-off, Lou Grant. He was also the voice of Carl in Disney's Up. For what he looks like somewhat recently, think back to Santa Claus in Elf. That's him alright. Asner has pretty much looked the exact same for the past 50 years, so you'll be excused if you thought he was 86 in 1970 because we certainly did.
5 Angela Lansbury – 90 Years Old
The "She" in Murder She Wrote, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast and Mrs. Iselin in The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Angela Lansbury is a big named actress that is still very much alive and well. Lansbury is 90 years old, but when she first started in Murder She Wrote in 1984, she looked 90 then. Turns out she wasn't 90 then. She was 58. Sorry Angela. But seriously. No one has seen Lansbury in the last 10 years, basically since she was in Nanny McPhee. Sure, she was in Mr. Popper's Penguins five years ago, but no one saw that movie, no one. Despite her legendary career, Lansbury might go down in history for all the wrong reasons. Over the course of 33 years, she was nominated for 18 Emmy Awards, but she never won once. Add in her three Oscar nominations in which she also never won and you have one of the unluckiest actresses ever. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Leo.
4 Zsa Zsa Gabor – 99 Years Old
Honesty time. We didn't just simply believe Zsa Zsa Gabor was dead. We thought she had died like five different times. You may not know why you know Zsa Zsa Gabor, but that's the life of a celebrity. Gabor is basically a 99-year-old Kardashian. Actually that's much too insulting for Zsa Zsa. While both Gabor and Kim have been in movies, Gabor wore clothes in her movies. She's actually been in quite a few films over the years, but she is definitely most famous for her personality and her marriages. She was married nine times to very significant men, men like George Sanders and Conrad Hilton. She was named Miss Hungary in 1936 and had her best role in Moulin Rouge (1952). Since 2002, Gabor has been in fairly poor health after a car crash left her partially paralyzed. Can you imagine being in a car crash at the age of 85? She was recently hospitalized, but she seems to have recovered somewhat since then.
3 Olivia de Havilland – 100 Years Old
In July 1st, Olivia de Havilland crossed over the century mark, putting just one more astounding accomplishment beside her name. Best known for playing Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind (which was released in 1939!), de Havilland made her debut in film in 1935, 81 years ago. Not only is de Havilland renowned for her career's longevity, but she's also incredibly accomplished, having won two Academy Awards, received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame and awarded the National Medal of Arts, the highest achievement that an American actor can receive. She may not be the most recognizable name these days, but she's been a major part of the film industry for a long, long time and deserves to be celebrated while she's alive and well.
2 Eva Marie Saint – 92 Years Old
The amazing 92-year-old Eve Marie Saint has been acting for over 70 years. To put her amazing career in perspective, Saint won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in On the Waterfront 62 years ago. Most recently, Saint was in Winter's Tale in 2014 and she's done some voice work for The Legend of Korra. This age-defying woman has two stars on Hollywood's walk of fame, one for film and one for TV. She's been in North by Northwest, A Hatful of Rain and Superman Returns. It's funny looking back and seeing that in 1949, Saint was featured in an article about being a struggling actress. If you would have told her then that she would be a working actress for the next 65 years, she may have thought you were mad.
1 Kirk Douglas – 99 Years Old
Kirk Douglas may not be as spry as he once was, but at 99 years old, we'll forgive the acting legend if he wants to take things a little easier these days. Not only has Douglas been acting since the 1940s, he's been a star since then as well. After his role in 1949's Champion, Douglas was as close to "can't miss" as an actor can get. While today, he may be best-known for fathering Michael Douglas, a more contemporary name, anyone with an interest in the history of film will recognize Kirk as one of the true legendary figures of Hollywood. Performing in Spartacus Douglas also helped end the Hollywood blacklist in the early 60s. After he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1996, people feared it wouldn't be long until we lost Douglas, but, 20 years later, the man is still living and still working a little, blogging and writing when he can.

For My Protestant Brothers and Sisters
I would love to hear your thoughts on this short post by Fr Longenecker.
I think he's largely right, frankly. Some of my own push back has to do with the reason for the Evangelical Protestant to go, and the idea - I have forgotten where I recently read this - that when such missions are undertaken, we are the ones being evangelized - we are "evangelized by the poor."

Dear John
I've decided I need a break; I need time away from writing here. I will post about the kids occasionally or about that issue that's burning holes in the pockets of my brain. But as far as posting with any regularity - I'm shutting it down for a while. Maybe for the summer.
Go on. Get your box of tissues.
I'll be lurking, to be sure. But for now I need some distance from this place. I'm needed elsewhere.
But I'm still here, of course. And if you are dying for my groovy wisdom and sweet insights (or if you just want to chat), send me an e-mail. I read all my mail and answer it personally.

A Candidate Worth Voting For
You can vote now for Dan's Chocolate Mint Explosion cookies.
Do not vote at your own peril.
I'm warning you.
For those interested, my warning is comparable to the ubiquitous chain-letter threat (e.g., if you don't do x your pet chihuahua will choke on a bone and die within the next ten minutes - that kind of thing).
Cheers. And happy voting.

Jesus of Nazareth
I'm still planning on adding my inanities to the myriad of voices reviewing Papa Benedict's new book. But until then, this quote by an Orthodox Christian, Kevin P. Edgecomb, perfectly states the feelings I've had while reading it:
"One thing I think is clear. This book Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict (Ratzinger) will come to be recognized as a watershed in a way that none of the other Jesus books ever has been or ever could be, a flaming sword between the Paradise of a faithful reading and application of all the Biblical texts fully informed by Patristic writings and Church Tradition yielding an image of the Living Jesus Christ, and the desert of academic historical-critical and other fads seeking a new and different contemporary Jesus to pad curricula vitae."
The Boy Is Three
Will turned three today. When he woke up, he asked me, "Am I bigger now?"
Will loves Spider-Man, Superman, swords, and clubs. He hits and pesters his sisters. He chases them with sticks. He pees outside sometimes. His favorite word is poopie, and the mere repetition of it is enough to drive him to hysterics. He's all boy, yet sometimes he keeps his action figures in little pink bags with hearts on them. He shares a coffee with me each morning.
He has grown up.
Yesterday at Mass he reached the pew before me and, with no direction from me, did his best to honor our Lord by kneeling. He's seen me do this, of course, but I've never directed him to do so. His kneel ended up looking more like a brief squat (with bowed head), but for our Lord, I am sure, it was the most endearing gesticulation of the day. Perhaps the most genuine as well.
I love this boy, though, at times, I want to strap him. I want to be good and strong when I am with him, a man of steel.
Happy birthday, Will. Today you are bigger.

The Girl in the Masthead
Sophia Grace is eight years old today. She's beautiful. And, as always, I can't believe it. I don't know why I continue to say, "I can't believe it." But I can't. Time and the growth of your children are difficult concepts to grasp hold of.
She is boisterous and loud. Her feet are nearly the size of her mother's and her heart is twice the size of mine.
Sophie is the embodiment of innocence, of childhood. Her heart is like a flower, beautiful and fragile - and it needs a gentle and good gardener.
Pray for me, that I can be gentle and good for her.
In a few weeks, as school ends, I'll be spending far more time with this growing girl, who I'm in love with. June 21 is her last day of school. Her last day. Laura and I have made the decision to educate Sophie at home. Personally, I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. Her education is going to demand more of me. But nothing I'm not willing to give.
Let me explain why we've made our decision to keep Sophie out since Laura is a teacher at her school. Sophie is entering third grade next year - a big testing year with a lot of meaningless and useless teaching to test. (Don't deny it, it's the truth.) Sophie will never shine with that kind of impersonal rigor. She's simply not made for it. (Are any of us?) Her first year at school, in first grade, she had a wonderful teacher who nurtured her, who came alongside her and encouraged her. Sophie blossomed and learned a great amount - she had a great deal of catching up to do. This year her teacher is far more task-oriented, education- rather than child-centered. (Don't confuse the two.) Sophie has withdrawn and her education has suffered because of it. She struggles to get up in the morning. She becomes physically ill on Sunday nights. She is made fun of at school.
Sophie loves people - the concept of "stranger" does not exist in her brain. She believes the teller at the bank or the girl in the drive-through window wants nothing more than to know about her exciting news, whatever it might be. She has no concept of the darkness of the human heart - or the natural cruelty of children. That's not to say she is perfect and angelic, or that she never hits or yells or manipulates. She does. All the time. But she understands reaction. What is difficult for her to comprehend is cruelty without provocation.
I want her to be more fully who she is again. So we've decided to make the step. I ask for your prayers both for her and me. This undertaking is new for us, but I'm convinced it's the right decision.
Mystery, Awe, and Otherness
"Don't get me wrong. I'm solidly in the Reformation camp. I see the [Roman Catholic Church] as a dead-end and always have. I feel sorry for anyone so seduced by a need for mystery, awe, and otherness that they'll abandon truth for it.
"Yet I still understand why they do it."
An interesting couple of articles has popped up about why Evangelicals become Catholic. Dan Edelen at Cerulean Sanctum makes the assertion that they do so because Evangelicals have abandoned any sense of mystery, awe, and otherness within their worship. (In all fairness, his examination of the issue has as it's purpose the finding of the problem on his side of the Tiber.)
I appreciate the mystery in Catholicism. It's beautiful. It's sublime and breathtaking. It is seductive. But beauty is, nevertheless, beauty is not the enemy of truth. It is also not the only reason that Evangelicals become Catholic. Nor, I would imagine, is it the largest reason. In fact, it offends me that people should think one gives up truth for beauty, or beauty for truth, for that matter.
Scot McKnight in a paper titled, "From Wheaton to Rome," (JETS, vol 45, no 3) writes about four reasons that Evangelicals pope. His reasons are (1) certainty, (2) history, (3) unity, and (4) authority. He does mention transcendence as an issue, but not a major issue. These reasons are far closer to my personal experience as well as the stories I hear from other converts.

There are a lot of problems in the world these days. Terrorism, global warming, contagious diseases & viruses spreading and political deadlock. Sometimes it can seem like it's hopeless, that the world is just falling apart.
But to me this spells opportunity. The U.S. has the world's most innovative and productive workplaces, and we're up to the task.
When you look back at history, solving the world's biggest problems ended up creating history's biggest businesses and fortunes. In an earlier blog, I highlighted some of the past 150 years' biggest inventions which were so successful because they solved such huge issues. The top five were the inventions of electricity, urban sanitation, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, internal combustion engine and modern communications.
With the exception of urban sanitation, all of these inventions were developed by private individuals and companies. Once they scaled, government eventually became involved as the impact on the average citizen became the norm. In other words, business and government worked together to make our world immeasurably better.
So how about some more of that? Instead of yet another camera app or game for smartphones, how about some startup working on the problems that matter most? And then working with government to create ways to apply them across our society? I'm generally a less-regulation-is-better guy, but in the cases of solving huge problems, we all need to work together.
Is there a way to fight crime and terrorism by harnessing the networked power of 2.5 billion smartphones? How about a way to let us citizens express what we think about politicians' plans in real time to try and get congress' approval ratings up from 16%? And how about income inequality, immigration, gov't ethics, gov't debt (really our debt) and health care? These are real problems that would have huge benefits when solved.
I believe the solutions can be thought out and invented by the people in our workplaces. We should stop looking to the government for the initial answers, and figure them out ourselves. Once we do, then government can step in to help speed the adoption if needed. Doing this can solve our biggest problems and create jobs, prosperity – and fortunes – along the way.

Today, Joni Ernst, the Republican from Red Oak, was sworn in as Iowa's newest senator to succeed Tom Harkin, who chose not to run for re-election.
Senator Ernst asked Senators Harkin and Grassley to walk her to the well today in the Senate where she took the oath of office.
Senator Ernst told KTIV's sister station KWWL there were two special things she took with her for this historic moment: Number one -- Her grandmother's Bible. She said her grandmother was a great inspiration to her and number two -- she wore her great-great aunt's engagement ring which had been passed down many times in the family.
This was clearly a major family event.
After the official swearing in, there's a re-enactment with the Vice President that serves as a photo op for the media and family members... and Senator Ernst brought her family front and center.
At one point, the Vice President joked because few people were on his side for the official picture... He said, "Someone come stand by me. I may be a Democrat, but I'm OK."
Before everything unfolded today, KTIV's sister station KWWL sat down with her and asked her about a number of topics, including... what was going through her mind as she prepared for this moment.
"I am very excited, very humbled, very honored," said Ernst.
Today was so much about history and the pageantry, but Senator Ernst was quick to point out, that she also had work to do today... She was already having organizational meetings with committees.
Iowa officially has a new senator in office, for the first time in 30 years.
In the past hour, Joni Ernst was sworn in to succeed Tom Harkin as a U.S. Senator.
Harkin and fellow Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley walked her to the well where she took the oath.
Ernst told KTIV's sister station KWWL she would be carrying her grandmother's Bible with her for the ceremony. She said her grandmother was a great inspiration to her.
Tuesday morning, KWWL's Jerry Gallagher sat down with Ernst, who talked about her thoughts today and about everyone she's heard from since the election, including taking a call from the president while she was at a high school volleyball game. She said the number was coming up unknown, but they were persistent, so finally she answered it.
"They said, 'This is the White House Switchboard, the president would like to visit with you,' so I felt bad about rejecting the president several times. It was a nice conversation. He said he hoped that we would be able to work together on some issues and I truly hope he means that," Senator Joni Ernst said.
Hear much more of our interview with Iowa's newest senator as our coverage of 'Iowa's New Era' continues tonight from Washington, D.C. on the KTIV News at 12, 5 and 6.

Spanning back centuries to the lucrative gold rush, Ballarat has blossomed into a bustling city centre that harks back to its Victorian days through grand architecture and intricate nuances. For most visitors, it is mandatory to hotfoot it to Sovereign Hill, a gold-mining village recreated that promises an insight into times-gone-by. Elsewhere around town, museums bring the past into the present and traditional restaurants provide hearty fuel.
Set in the heart of the Goldfields (a name that stems from its shiny, expensive past), Ballarat is surrounded by spectacular scenery. Here, history, nature, and culture collide to bring visitors a sparkling glimpse into Victoria's regional heart. Bendigo, Castlemaine, Maldon, and Kyneton make up the remainder of the region, proffering a unique collection of landscapes characterized by lush forests, red earth, and picturesque orchards. It is the ideal area to explore if you're looking for a hearty dose of wine, food, and exceptional scenery.

Theme Story
Be a courageous Sunlight Little Ironman!
This summer, it's time to get your kids away from glowing screens and get them out in the sunshine instead!
2016 marks the third year of the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong's Sunlight Little Ironman Triathlon project. This year, the triathlon will be held on 3 September at Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village. As with other years, the aim of the project is to motivate families, get them out in the sunshine and engage in enjoyable outdoor exercise. This year, a brand new activity , "inflatable obstacle course" has been added to the competition. Besides being a lot of fun, the joust game helps develop children's determination and perseverance and removes barriers to parent-child communication, while deepening understanding among family members.
We are delighted to confirm that the Sunlight REIT, one of the Association's Y-Care Corporate Partners, will again sponsor the Sunshine Little Ironman Triathlon this year. To enhance families' understanding of the competition and increase their awareness of the importance of sports safety, a series of training activities will be provided prior to the competition. Participating families will receive basic race training for the swimming, biking and running portions of the event from a professional trainer, and be given the opportunity to practice the inflatable obstacle course.
We welcome the participation of families of four in parent-child groups; while families of three can team up with a friend to create a group of four. Participating children must be at least six years of age. All participants will be required to complete the four activities sequentially, these are: a 100 metre swim, a two kilometre run and a four kilometre bike race. After the traditional triathlon activities have been completed, one participant aged between 6 and 10 with an adult will be required to participate in the inflatable obstacle course. It will be so much fun!
This year, our event ambassador is Lee Chi-wo, a former Hong Kong triathlete will help demonstrate the true spirit of a triathlete to all participants. In addition to providing healthy and competitive fun, the Association also hopes that the event will help families cultivate good exercise habits and engage in more physical activity.

Buenos Dias! Who wants to go to a cyber-forum in Mexico?
Computer and smartphone technology is now an indispensable part of our lives, especially in terms of learning, daily living and socialising. At the same time, the high level of information technology use among teenagers is creating serious concern in some sectors of society, but there are ways to address these concerns. This year marks the fifth consecutive year that Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong has recruited IFocus @ IGF ambassadors. The IFocus ambassadors teach primary school students, senior citizens and disadvantaged people about information technology and how to harness its many benefits to their advantage. Thus, help remove barriers for people wanting to participate in the digital world. Previous IFocus ambassadors have attended the annual UN Internet Governance Forum, held in Brazil, Turkey and Azerbaijan. Our ambassadors gained global perspectives through international and intercultural exchanges. This year's selected ambassadors will receive a full subsidy to take part in the 11th UN Internet Governance Forum in Mexico. Applications are now being accepted from full-time Form 2 to Form 5 students. The application deadline is 8 July 2016. For further details and to download the application form, please visit
For enquiries please call: 2778 2727 (Mr Chung) / 2413 3111 (Mr Ho)
Theory of Mind Social Skills Training Group
Theory of Mind (ToM) social skills training is now being offered by our counselling team!
Children with autism spectrum disorders have special learning needs and unique social lives. To help improve the quality of life for these exceptional children, the Association's clinical psychologists will be holding two social skills training programmes for students in P.1 to P.4 in July and August this year.
Using the Theory of Mind process, our specialists will help children with autism estimate and understand the thoughts of others, which will deepen their understanding of fundamental interpersonal rules and concepts.
For details and to apply for the programmes, call 2783-3431 or email to
We also offers a variety of counselling services to teenagers and adults, as well as evaluations (including individual interviews) in clinical child psychology, plus various themed counselling groups for people of all ages.

"STEP" Teacher Workshop
Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong believes in fully supporting students with special education needs. To help bring this goal within reach, in 2014 we launched the STEP Exercise Therapy Project. The project involves playing games which incorporate physical training with children with special education needs. The games help enhance the attention, sensory integration and interpersonal skills of these children. A teacher workshop called "How To Effectively Train Children With Attention Deficit" will be held on 30 June (Thursday) between 2:30 and 4:30pm in Room 119 of the HKPC Building in Kowloon Tong. The event's keynote speaker will be Dr Lai Yuen Yi (Occupational Therapy), Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Sciences at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Dr Lai will help the participants identify learning difficulties in children with autism, attention deficit and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. He will also give teachers a close look at the major treatment and training methods used to help these children, while demonstrating simple classroom exercises which improve the attention capability of children.
Admission to the event will be free, with teachers and social workers encouraged to apply in particular. To download the application form please visit
. Remember, space is limited and places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For enquiries, please call 2783 3481.

Seventh Kids World Cup 2016: Eight outstanding teams play hard to win a trip to Korea!
At the invitation of the Seoul YMCA, Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong will be participating in the seventh Kid's World Cup soccer tournament from 16 to 20 August this year. The tournament, held in Seoul Korea, is an invaluable international exchange opportunity which helps facilitate friendships between YMCA members from Hong Kong, Beijing, Osaka, Taiwan and Seoul. Through the sports of soccer, our young members not only experience the spirit and excitement of playing a sport, but also learn the cultural similarities and differences between their home countries and those of the other players. On 28 May 2016, Chinese YMCA organized a selection competition in Hong Kong for eight aspiring teams comprised of children from different service centres between the ages of 10 to 12. These teams competed for the chance to enter the Kids World Cup. The stakes were high, as the two best teams at the competition would go on to represent Chinese YMCA at the upcoming tournament.
The weather at the selection competition was not perfect, but despite the occasional rain shower the field was filled with excited shouts and cheers. Each team performed professionally and the young players' determination and spirit were not affected by the rain in the slightest; in fact, the unstable weather enhanced their passion for soccer. The Association would like to congratulate the two winning teams, both from Tuen Mun Centre: both teams demonstrated consistent levels of skill and strong teamwork throughout the competition.
We would also like to offer a big round of applause to all participating teams. We know that everyone on the field, including players, coaches, parents and supporters, enjoyed a fun and joyous day. Finally, we offer the seventh Kid's World Cup tournament best wishes for success and we hope that our two Hong Kong teams will strive for excellence and demonstrate the Hong Kong spirit to everyone at the Kids World Cup!

Activity Highlights
Be a Global Citizen Campaign awards presentation ceremony
Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong is committed to fostering youth leadership in order to encourage young people to shoulder their social responsibilities. Over the years, this has been the ultimate aim of the Be a Global Citizen Campaign – to raise youth awareness of global issues by giving them a global vision in order to achieve all-around development. This year's awards presentation was held on 18 June. A total of 232 youths won awards in the gold, silver and bronze categories, with 135 participants receiving gold awards – the highest number ever!
Special guests at the ceremony included Mr Tsang Wai-hung, Chairman of the Global Citizenship Steering Committee and Former Commissioner of Police; Dr Frank Cheng Chi-yan, President of the Association; actor Tony Hung Wing Shing, a man with profound travel experience; and Jeffery Yip, Chairman of Design for Change Hong Kong. Each of the guests shared their thoughts on global vision and global thinking.
Tony Hung, who has travelled to North Korea and Cuba among other places, shared his adventure travel experiences and his travel haircut habits with the students at the ceremony. He explained how he firmly believes that life experience not only broadens our horizons but also changes our values.
Tony believes that environmental protection and global warming are serious and important global concerns. Hong Kong's slow pace of implementing food waste recycling and other environmental policies has prompted him to encourage young people to take the initiative in environmental protection measures, and help inspire their friends and families to fulfil their responsibilities as global citizens.
No Plastic Bottle Day
In order to raise public awareness about the overconsumption of drinks bottled in plastic, the Association's Environmental Working Group has designated 1 June as the annual Hong Kong No Plastic Bottle Day. The event aims to encourage everyone in Hong Kong not to buy drinks bottled in plastic, and instead make a habit of carrying their own water bottles. The ultimate aim is to get people to stop using plastic bottles in their daily lives.
To magnify the effect of No Plastic Bottle Day, the Association organised an Ocean Care Dragon Boat Challenge and an Ocean Care photo sharing campaign. Both activities encouraged people to protect our precious environment in different ways. The Ocean Care Dragon Boat Challenge was held on 21 May. Participants designed dragon boats out of waste materials, and alongside the boat race, a plastic bottle "time challenge" was held, during which participants had a limited time to pick up a number of plastic bottles. The Association encourages everyone across Hong Kong to reduce our use of plastic bottles in order to protect our ocean.
During the Ocean Care photo sharing campaign, participants uploaded photos on the themes of "Ocean Protection" or "Stop Using Plastic Bottles" to their personal Facebook pages, or using the hashtag #NoPlasticBottleDay/#無膠樽日. Participants with the top 20 highest-rated photos (based on the number of "Likes") were given supermarket coupons worth HK$100. To view these fantastic photos, simply search for #NoPlasticBottleDay/#無膠樽日 on Facebook!
"Realise Love, Realise Dreams" volunteers from Hong Kong Correctional Services
A group of enthusiastic volunteers from the Hong Kong Correctional Services Department has been conducting regular visits to senior citizens. Through their service, these volunteers have not only come to understand the daily needs of the elderly, but they have also become good listeners and established valuable friendships. The volunteers visited the Peak with a group of seniors, suffering from Alzheimer's disease and included a 95-year-old woman. Even have limited mobility and rarely goes out, they all thrilled with the trip and felt refreshing and exciting.
This group of committed volunteers hope more young people can engage in voluntary work, as it is "more blessed to give than to receive".

Todd Cunningham reports: "the Iraq War saga 'American Sniper' soared like a superhero movie at the box office, with a $64.3 million second weekend in wide release that would make any caped crusader proud. The Clint Eastwood-directed telling of the tough return home by Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, played in the movie by Bradley Cooper, continued its electrifying run with the best second weekend ever by an R-rated movie. In the process, 'American Sniper' hit the $200 million mark in domestic grosses just 10 days after earning nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor and four other Oscar nominations." The Wrap
NEW: Experts' Oscars predictions in 24 categories
Jordan Zakarin profiles "Whiplash" writer-director Damien Chazelle: "A former jazz drummer himself, created a next-level Frankenstein's monster of teachers from his past who he says 'created a climate of fear' with their insults, though none reached anywhere near the depravity of Fletcher. The filmmaker — who is nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay — went over some of the more memorable insults in the film." Yahoo Movies
As Mike Fleming writes: "Harvey Weinstein sat down for what has become our annual look at his business, the Oscars and just about every other topic we can think of. Buckle up." Among the tasty tidbits are this: "So you have eyeballs that will now watch the Oscars because of 'Budapest,' because of 'The Imitation Game,' because of 'American Sniper.' I don't care if the smallest movie wins but I want people to watch the Oscars because all the movies profit by the attention and publicity. American Sniper, doing the kind of business it does, that's exhibit A for the health of movie theaters. That's the zeitgeist hit." Deadline
See early Oscar rankings when Experts' predictions are combined
Elsa Keslassy reports: "Abderrahmane Sissako's 'Timbuktu,' a foreign-language Oscar nominee, is turning out to be a significant world cinema hit in France in the wake of the terrorist attacks that hit Paris. Released on Dec. 10 in 150 screens by Le Pacte, the modestly-budgeted movie has so far grossed over 4 million Euros ($4.5 million) from 622 799 tickets sold, and attendance was up 12% last week. Taking into account the positive word of mouth and increased interest in the film, Le Pacte then upped the number of screens to 514. The movie, produced by Sylvie Pialat's Les Films du Worso, depicts the struggle and alienation of Malians who fought the occupation of Jihadists in 2012." Variety
The introduction to a fun-filled section: What if the Academy Awards were reimagined, and instead of best actor and other traditional categories, films were nominated according to what kind of viewer they appealed to? You might get a technophile category in which the contenders are the cinematography of 'Mr. Turner,' the sound mix of 'American Sniper' and the performance-capture technique of 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.'" New York Times

Soups are my favourite addition to winter menus,specially around this time of the year. There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of nice steaming hot soup on a cold winter day. That is not how my husband feels about soups. He is not a big fan of soups in general. He loves creamy cheesy soups. But I like soups, all types.
This recipe was made cause I had to finish up the veggies that were sitting in my refrigerator and I was craving something hot and spicy. Though my husband did not like it much (which I knew he won't, as it had no cheese or cream!!!),I enjoyed it.
Its a perfect low calorie soup, that can be made in a huge batch and frozen in smaller containers for future hunger pangs. It has it all, the carbs from the veggies, fiber, mineral and the protein from the egg.
enough intro, here goes the soupYou will need
- olive oil-1 tbsp
- onions (chopped)- 1/2 c
- celery (chopped)- 1/4th cup
- mushrooms (chopped)- 2-3
- carrot (chopped)-1
- beans (chopped)- 3-4
- spinach (chopped)- 1 cup
- corn-1/2 cup
- cherry tomatoes- 4-5
- garlic (crushed)- 2 pods
- vegetable broth/water-2- 3 cups
- oregano-1 tsp
- red chilly flakes- 1/2 tsp
- tomato sauce- 1 tbsp
- sugar-1/2 tbsp
- eggs (lightly beaten)-2
- salt and pepper to taste.
You have to
- heat a pan, add the oil.
- now add the crushed garlic pods along with the onions. saute.
- add the celery. now add all the vegetables one by one.
- add salt, cover and cook. this will soften the vegetable
- add the vegetable broth, along with the herbs
- let everything come to a boil.add the tomato sauce.
- reduce heat and let it simmer for a while.
- adjust the seasoning.
- take the beatn egg and drop it into the soup, by keeping the bowl far away from the pan, so that the egg falls in a long stream.
- meanwhile using your other hand keep stirring the falling egg, this will give us the "egg drop" property of long white threads in the soup. heat well.
- serve with bread rolls, sandwich or pasta

Rihanna marked her 27th birthday on Friday (20Feb15) by partying with stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Mick Jagger and Paris Hilton.
The pop star celebrated her big day by throwing a lavish bash at the home of businessman Jim Goldstein in Los Angeles, and the guest list also included Jim Carrey, Bill Murray and Naomi Campbell, according to People.com.
Rihanna also shared her feelings about turning 27 in a post on her Instagram.com page, writing, "27 years ago, my mother gave birth to her very first child at the tender age of 27. Life is never a piece of birthday cake, but I feel special that I was chosen by my Father in Heaven to make it here! And each year that goes by I am more grateful! Every day we wake up, means we get another chance at life... to live what we've learned and to discover even more, to be good to other people and to know that you are a part of their smile! I cherish these days, and I pray that God will spare my life to see many more! #Feb20."
