How are your movies organized?
January 04, 2007, 09:17:00 AM »
There are 4 of the 80-capacity DVD cases in the Noodle house, all from A to Z. These are your run-of-the-mill films.
Next, there are 3 tier holders from the arcane days of the VCR.
The top of the first rack level is the Disney clamshell section for my daughter, the next 2 levels are for her DVD's. the bottom 2 rows are the beginning of the A-Z section of VHS movies I haven't upgraded to DVD yet.
Next rack, top row is exercise videos and DVD's.
next 2 rows, alphabetical VHS and some VHS TV shows like the X-Files.
last row, various VHS and some recorded junk.
Last rack, top tier is picture albums (wife put 'em there, no room elsewhere).
The next 3 rows are box sets that can't be broken up, or fancy-schmancy DVD cases I don't want to break down, like the special edition of SAW with the moveable blood in the cover or the Chronicles of Riddick package.
How about yours?
While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

Randomly on various shelves or in boxes around the house, in at least three different rooms.
We actually don't own a lot of movies (by the standard of this site). We have a home-made bookshelf with VHS and DVD's in one bedroom and a store-bought VHS cabinet in another. The box? Once in a while my daughter gets all of her movies (which includes some of MY movies for some reason) taken away for misbehavior and she has to "earn" them back. While in 'solitary,' they reside in a box in my closet.
There is no alphabetical organization or anything like that. We have few enough that we just "know" where each generally is. With two little entropy machines constantly keeping the house in a swirl, any attempt at further organization is a fruitless endeavor.
Since joining Netflix, we rent much more than buy.

I have a DVD "bookshelf". Its made to hold DVD/CDs but mostly holds DVDs as I have my CDs on one of those in one those big binders that holds a bunch of CDs. I don't have any organization to my DVDs, just have my anime DVDs at the bottom of the shelves and my movies at the top with room to spare.
Like Ulthar every since I got Netflix I rent way more than I buy.
Whats left of my VHS collection is in the bottom cabinet of entrainment centers that holds the TV, DVD player etc..
Most of all I hate dancing then work,exercise,people,stupidpeople

Most of my DVDs are racks from a company called
The reason I have them is that they do not take up much space and I can break them down into a compact form when we move. They are a bit heavy. If I remember, I will take a picture of the DVD rack that sits behind my desk.
The VHS tapes are stacked three ranks deep in some wooden bookshelves, while the LDs are all organized in milk crates. The milk crates are nice for those, because when it is time to move you just pick them up and go.
My main reason to try and keep everything organized is answering questions. I pull a title or two off the reference shelves every day, for whatever reason. Accessing VHS tapes is driving me crazy. I am going to have to come up with a solution.

My thousands of DVDs are fully alphabetized on a store bought DVD rack that holds roughly 360 movies, the rest are lined up on four shelves that on my bedroom wall. I'm going to add another four because I'm out of room. My VHS tapes take up a video store movie rack that my former employer let me have. I'm very anal about my movie collection and only an elite few can actually borrow anything.
Oh and I have about 200 or so DVDs that I haven't even watched yet sitting on my entertainment center in stacks. Yes, they too are alphabetized......

I guess some sort of weird fung-shwai, I generally organize by the general feel I get from watching each one, usually to do with genre, time-period, film quality, box art etc. I usually put sequels near eachother, often paying attention to double-feature DVDs.

Regretably, Im stuck with "binders", after so many cases it got out of hand and my living room looked like walmart, mostly I pull the inserts and chuck the cases
a few sets i keep in original cases, but for the most part they are all in binders, within them I have them ordered by mood, theme, genre...no real order to it, except i keep the new ones in one spot,
By the way, with my music collection it seemed the CDs became more abused when i put them a binder.
I hope this dosent happen with my movies

Funny that this has been brought up now, as I just went through and reorganized all of my DVDs on Sunday, for the new year.
I have 6 DVD racks at the moment. Four of them are the standard wooden stand up boxes while the other two are metal racks.
I ended up categorizing my DVDs by genre. Horror films went on one row, action on another, foreign on another, animated on another, etc etc. If the DVD is foreign horror then there is space for that, foreign action - another space, you get the idea.
I wanted to alphabetize my DVDs, but that would mean that I couldn't have all of the Night Of The Living Dead films in a row and such.
One of the DVD racks mentioned is used for only holding burned DVDs that are in the thin DVD cases. Those are in no particular order.

I think that is due to two reasons. One is that they are not in a case, which tries to isolate the DVD from touching other things. Even if it is only the inside of the case. Binders are a tighter fit, so if dirt or sand gets in there you start abrading the surface. Two is that, because they are all in a binder, when you handle one you actually touch others by flipping the pages and such. The more often something is handled, the more likely it is to be scratched or whatever.

I use some tall bookcases to store mine. I actually bought extra shelves to maximize the storage capacity of each one. I separate my DVD's into categories and then alphabetize them from there. Most of my movies are all together except for Midnite Movie double features and any other multi-movie set - those are on a shelf to themselves. All my Kaiju films are on another, Disney films take up half a shelf, Anime takes up several, non-anime animation (Simpsons, South park, etc) are in their own section and TV sets take up a large chunk of space. We're planning on doing some re-arranging, but right now the DVD's line two entire walls of one room.

I have 3 book shelves about 5 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet wide.
All of my DVD's are alphabetized and I don't break mine up into individual genre's. I tried that one time and it proved to be a headache. Some movies don't fit neatly into one particular genre.
I own about 750 DVD's so I pretty much have to alphbetized or I wouldn't be able to find anything.
I also do the same with my Cd's as well.

I just got them stacked all over the place in no order (I even got my arthouse films mixed with z-grade trash). Good places in my house to stack them are on tables, next to my tv or computer, and even on the unoccupied bed above me (I sleep on a bunk bed by myself now cause my brother likes sleeing on the couch instead. ah well, his bed is now my closet/shelf/garage haha). As long as it's in a spot nobody in the house will step or trip on, then it stays there. I even got some VHS tapes just laying under my bed. Yeah I'm a slob but I've been able to keep track of where a specific title is in this complete anarchy system I have.

I have 3 shelves filled with cheap DVD's. With 2 shelves of the films I have already viewed and 1 shelve of films that have yet to view on my stand-by list. Stand-by list is now well over 200 films.

|Convent House
|Church and School
It was clear to all that a hospital was needed so a hospital committee was formed. By the spring of 1884 the convent's new wing that was meant for the school was completely full with the sick and injured that Sister Monica was caring for so planning got underway to obtain land for the purpose of building a hospital. This was achieved through a donation to the Sisters by the Government of Ontario and on September 8, 1884 the cornerstone was laid for what was to become the new St. Joseph's Hospital. The property was right next door to the convent and the official opening of the 2 story brick building was in May of 1885 with Sister Monica leading the way.
In 1887 Sister Monica became Mother Monica and continued to manage and vastly expand the hospital until her retirement in 1923. In the early years, Mother Monica was known to embark on hazardous treks up and down the rail line to collect money at the camps to keep her beloved hospital going. She even devised an ''insurance plan'' of sorts where in return for a donation, she would provide a card to the donor guaranteeing them whatever health care they might require in the future. By 1900 more space was needed so a third story was added to the original building along with a new three story wing. In 1904 a School of Nursing and a Medical Society were established. Additional wings were added in 1905, 1918 and again in 1928 giving the hospital a reputation for being one of the finest in the country for it's time. In 1922 the hospital was rated as a Standardized Hospital in the A-One category, the only one with such a rating between Toronto and Winnipeg. It is said that Mother Monica was personally instrumental in obtaining financing for the growth and expansion she oversaw and that ''she relied on the charity that her own warmth and kindness inspired.''

Dustin Zito is now speaking out weeks after his roommates on the Real World discovered his shocking gay porn past on the show. In a new interview, he opens up some more about his porn past, why he did it, and why he'd do it all over again.
When asked why he failed to tell his roommates, including girlfriend Heather Marter, about his past, Dustin states he simply never thought his secret would get out the way it did. "[The site was] going to take care of me. And I was like 'This is a small website. It doesn't even end in dot-com,'" the intelligent Dustin, 25, tells UsWeekly.
Dustin once again claims he went into porn because he had nothing else to do in his small hometown. "All my friends had gone to college, but I couldn't afford it, and I couldn't find a cool job," the Rayne, La. native says. "Fratmen called me with this offer. I was paid, and they also paid for my flight, my meals, my clothes…I was like 'All you want me to do is get naked and be in this video? Jesus, this sounds too good to be true, " adds the smart Dustin.
He also reveals that what started with simple masturbation scenes eventually progressed into "softcore" oral sex. He says he wasn't worried in the beginning because "the site doesn't make you look sleazy. It's sort of classy. The videos are shot cinematically." Though Dustin attempts to downplay his gay porn past as just engaging in oral sex, there were pictures of him floating on the internet showing he did way more than that, as in he went all the way with his porn costars.
And today Dustin, who admits his family was unaware about his past, makes it clear he has no regrets about what he did. "People think I was manipulated? People are crazy! I made my own decisions. If I could go back, I probably would have done the same thing," says Dustin.
Moving right along. A new episode of the Real World: Las Vegas airs tonight on MTV at 10/9c. On the 11th episode this season, the roommates take a vacation to Cancun, but there's trouble in paradise when tensions between Dustin and Mike-Mike come to a head.

By Tom Cohen
WASHINGTON (CNN) — What now?
That's the question roiling Washington as a partial government shutdown enters its second week while a possible U.S. default looms ahead.
Both Republicans and Democrats say they didn't want the shutdown, and they insist they don't want a default if they fail to raise the federal debt ceiling by October 17.
But no formal talks are scheduled, and the two sides remain so deeply mired in their respective partisan postures that no way forward or even any hint of progress is evident.
We know for sure that the partisan shouting match pitting President Barack Obama and Democrats against conservative Republicans will continue this week while moderates on both sides work behind the scenes to try to forge some kind of compromise.
Beyond that it's anyone's guess.
Here are possible scenarios for what could happen in coming days to get Washington and the country out of this mess.
A GOP reversal
Confrontation over the debt ceiling was always the Republican strategy to wring more deficit reduction concessions from the White House and Democrats.
Then the tea party conservative wing in the House bullied House Speaker John Boehner to adopt a stance he previously opposed by linking the concurrent need to fund the government in the fiscal year that started October 1 to their demands to dismantle Obama's signature health care law.
"I thought the fight would be over the debt ceiling," Boehner said Sunday on ABC. "But you know, working with my members, they decided, well, let's do it now. And the fact is, this fight was going to come, one way or the other."
Now, the quickest way out is for Boehner and Republicans to seek a tactical retreat on the shutdown by accepting the Senate's short-term spending plan that contains no anti-Obamacare provisions sought by the tea party wing.
Obama and Democrats insist that the Senate version would pass the House if Boehner allowed a vote, with enough Republicans joining a unanimous Democratic caucus to overcome conservative GOP opposition.
A CNN survey shows that 17 Republicans would vote with the 200 House Democrats to provide the bare majority needed to pass the Senate plan.
However, Boehner's stint as House speaker might not survive if he allowed that vote. There would be a conservative backlash. According to the CNN survey, not enough Republicans would join Democrats at this point in a procedural move to force Boehner to hold the vote.
That would only get the government reopened, leaving the debt ceiling question unresolved.
Long-term deal
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could file a proposal as soon as Tuesday to raise the debt ceiling without addressing any deficit reduction issues demanded by Republicans, a Senate Democratic leadership aide told CNN.
Sources told CNN that the Democratic plan would resolve the debt ceiling issue for at least a year, and perhaps through the 2014 congressional elections.
The move would be the first volley in what will be a torturous political struggle in coming days over the federal borrowing limit.
Most Republicans would shy away from any proposal that lacks spending cuts or other policy changes in return for the increased borrowing authority.
Democrats hope enough Republicans would vote with them to overcome a certain filibuster attempt in order to prevent what analysts warn would be potentially catastrophic economic repercussions of a government default.
If the Senate passed such a bill, pressure would increase on Boehner and House Republicans to do the same as the debt ceiling deadline approached.
However, Boehner continues to insist on concessions from Democrats before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, while Obama continues to insist he won't negotiate partisan policy issues in connection with guaranteeing the full faith and credit of the United States.
Short-term deal
The most likely scenario is some kind of short-term deal to allow for more negotiating.
"We don't want any kind of default. We don't want to have to get to that spot," GOP Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma told CNN on Monday. "If we have to get to a spot and say let's do a short-term, then we have to sit down and do a short-term."
In a possible signal to Republicans on Monday, the White House indicated it has no firm stance on the length of any debt ceiling agreement, saying it preferred a longer one but the decision was up to Congress.
While an opening may exist, CNN Chief National Correspondent John King said such an outcome would rely on conservative House Republicans trusting Obama and Democrats to negotiate in good faith on issues such as Obamacare and tax reform. Right now, King noted, "that trust simply doesn't exist in Washington."
Without an agreement, the current climate of increasingly bitter and accusatory rhetoric will only worsen as the debt ceiling deadline gets closer. Pressure will mount from the business community and an increasingly fed-up American public to come up with a way to avoid default and reopen the government.
No deal
Failure to raise the debt ceiling would leave the govenrment unable to borrow more money to pay debts it already has accrued, CNNMoney's Jeanne Sahadi reported Monday.
Instead, Sahadi's report said, lawmakers would have four options to choose from that would have to be implemented right away — cut government spending for the military and other discretionary programs by up to 33% every month; cut mandatory spending such as entitlement programs by 16% every month, and raise taxes by up to 12% every month.
The outcry over Washington's political dysfunction would escalate at home and abroad, possibly motivating moderates on both sides to meet in the middle.
In the end, it will come down to political optics as much as the actual substance of a deal. House Republicans fearing a tea party primary challenge next year need some kind of political cover to raise the debt ceiling, and Obama opposes tying the issue to partisan policy issues.
CNNMoney's Jeanne Sahadi and CNN's Ted Barrett and Dana Bash contributed to this report.

PARIS (AP) — Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy says an investigation into his campaign finances is unjust and unfounded, but he's confident "the truth will win out in the end."
It was Sarkozy's first reaction to a judge's decision last week to issue preliminary charges against him in the case, thus formally placing him under investigation.
Sarkozy is accused of "abuse of someone in an impaired state" over allegations he took donations for his 2007 presidential run from L'Oreal cosmetics fortune heiress Liliane Bettencourt, who is now 90.
Sarkozy posted his comment Monday on Facebook. He said he wasn't looking for special treatment and believes in the justice system.
If Sarkozy is eventually convicted, he could face a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment and a 375,000 euro ($484,000) fine.

I am new to strobes - just not sure what brand and model to target (I mentioned Interfit to John).
I guess you would call that a 'rake light' - no? So you are saying three strobe lights - 2 at 45 degrees - and another (at a tweaked power level) and at a tighter angle - would this require a modifier - ie vertical strip or slit -seems you would run into issues of being hot on one side?
Another question that comes to mind is the new fluorescent lights out there
Well as you're discovering there are endless opinions. Many of them worth exactly what you paid for them.
So when I reach for the Totas despite owning some of the best flash gear on the market there must be a good reason.
Curious what those reasons are. Is the added blue channel gain under tungsten lighting not an issue in your view?
I have been painting for as long as you have been photographing and texture is an issue for me...

Mark Kiszla and the Olympic spirit
Thank you, Denver Post, for sending Mark Kiszla to the 2014 Winter Olympics. Kiszla's insightful and uniquely personalized coverage was refreshing and most enjoyable to read each morning. Most appreciated was Kiszla's sensitivity to the preparatory efforts and "relative innocence" of the younger Olympic athletes. While we know that Kiszla can be painfully frank and blunt, it was evident that he was absorbed in the Olympic spirit.

Salvete τε καὶ χαίρετε!
It seems the world becomes more and more dependent on technology, and thus with each passing year all people in modern society require basic computer skills just to get by.
Growing up with computers, I qualify as a "digital native," as Ian Jukes the educator calls them, while my parents are digital foreigners, and this makes sharing the benefits of technology with them (knowing how to use a computer or the internet effectively, for example) all the more challenging.
Both my parents can type, and both are able to read their email (they each have a computer, hand-me-downs from me and my sister), but neither have especially good understanding of the virtual space illustrated by graphic interface (we all have Macs, OS X). They are both incredibly intelligent people who have tremendous skills in non-computer areas. But despite Apples' reputation for being ridiculously easy to use, they still struggle. And thus, especially in the case of my father, they use their computers just for typing, and then ask me for how to print the thing. I'm happy to help, but I've been moved out of the house for quite some time now — I have had many-an-interesting conversation over the phone with them describing how to execute the most basic functions, such as dragging documents into flash drives, or attaching documents to an email — something this simple has taken hours; a typical line of such a phone conversation:
L: "Okay, now you saved it to the desktop. Now you can attach to your email."
Pater et Mater: "All right, how do we do that?"
L: "Bring the mouse over and click on the Finder face in the Dock."
Parentes: "What's 'the Dock' ?"
L: "You know when you bring the mouse over to the left side of the screen that thing pops out with all those programmes listed?"
P: [pause] "No."
L: "Bring the mouse over to the left side of the screen. That's the Dock."
P: "So which one do I click on here?"
L: "Finder."
P: "Which one is that?"
L: "The name of each thing appears when you drag the mouse over it."
P: [pause]
L: "Did you find it?"
P: "No."
L: "It's at the top. The smiley face."
P: "Okay. Got it."
L: "Did you click on it?"
P: [pause ... click] "Yes."
L: "Now, we want to get to the desktop. Go to the desktop."
P: "How do we do that?"
L: "By clicking on 'Desktop'."
P: [pause] "We don't see it."
L: [knowing it's in about three places in front of them] "It's right in front of you. In the Finder window that popped up after you clicked on Finder in the Dock. In the left column."
P: "Okay, there."
L: "Now, find the document you just saved."
P: [pause ... pause]
L: "Do you see it on the desktop?"
P: "No."
L: "What do you mean you don't see it? It should be right there. You saved it to the desktop, right?"
Pater: "No."
Mater: "Yes."
Then they debate what actually happened. Is it there and invisible to their digitally foreign eyes? or was it saved into some random recess of the ever-random "Documents" folder?
I know this script by heart, as it's happened many dozens of times by now. It is painful for all of us. The same basic concepts are foreign. Just manipulating the mouse to highlight text in a precise way is very challenging — these are people with incredible dexterity! They sculpt and build and draw and paint. Yet now amount of training in person or by phone seems to help more than marginally.
My impression is that their brains simply haven't developed the metaphorical wiring yet that relates the actions of the mouse and keyboard with what they see on the screen — a kind of hand-eye coordination. Would it help if they played video games? Seriously, would that help?
And they always insist upon writing down the procedure for the above events. Then either of two things happens: they can't find later what they wrote down, or they can't follow their own instructions. I insist that these basics aren't something you can write down more than you can write down the procedure for walking.
This has gone on for years. And they improve, but are not yet proficient enough for self-sufficiency, and soon I'll be out of this region of the country as I go on my own path in the world. Have any of you experienced this? How do you get them to incorporate technology into their lives such that it becomes second nature? How do they acquire the most basic skills?
I have looked for OS X tutorials online, but no interactive ones like the old OS9 systems used to have.
Any advice, suggestions, tips would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I won't be within an hour drive of my parents pretty soon, and being able to use computers and the internet will allow us to keep in touch much more personally than the occasional phone call.
Any ideas?

About Allan Sekula
In 40 years, Allan Sekula created a venerated body of documentary work that reflected his interest in global commodity politics and the urban development of Los Angeles. Starting in the 1970s, Sekula worked almost exclusively with photography and film. He considered the camera his tool for continuous social engagement and action, driven by what he called "the very mutability of the landscape, the sense of its ceaseless change and false facades." Sekula's work touched on subjects like the Cold War and the industrial economies of countries in Asia and Europe. In the 2000s, Sekula began what he humbly called his "apprenticeship as a filmmaker," although his films are among his most iconic and powerful works. Sekula was also a respected critic and historian, famous for his essay "Body and the Archive" (1986) which spoke to photography as a political medium.

Is the Latin translation of 'Vessel [of the] Unknown' 'vas incomperti'? Vessel as in reference to a person (as in an Angel's human vessel) and unknown in reference to no knowledge about the future. It's a tattoo idea and it needs to be correct. Thanks for the feedback!
(The original translation I found was 'Vas of Incompertus' but someone explained to me that 'of' doesn't exist in Latin and corrected the 'Incompertus' to 'Incomperti' but was unsure whether it's the right translation).

Super Savings Saturday: Starting up P90X again
I finished my first round of P90X a few weeks ago and took two weeks almost entirely off from exercising or worrying too much about eating wonderfully. I didn't subsist on hot dogs and candy bars by any stretch of the imagination, but I did eat more chocolate and even allowed myself to have a few cups of coffee (I went completely off of caffeine while on P90X, I know, can you believe it??).
And it was nice to take a break. But I am so ready to jump back on the P90X bandwagon come Monday morning. I seriously considered doing the P90X Plus program, but I think that I can push myself a little more and benefit a lot from another round of P90X, so that's what I decided to go for.
We loaded up on good food today in preparation for getting back on the P90X diet. Since life has been full with some extra things recently, I didn't used coupons the last two weeks. I planned a menu, make a list and looked at the store fliers while doing so, but I didn't worry about getting the lowest rock-bottom deals. I just gave myself a breather week — and it felt nice!
However, when we came home with these groceries and paid $80 for them I was reminded why we use coupons, stockpile and shop the sales:
Because $80 with coupons, stockpiling and shopping the sales, could net quite a bit more groceries than that. But it's nice to take a break every now and then!
However, just like I'm jumping back on the P90X bandwagon come Monday, I'm also getting back on the bargain-hunting bandwagon, too. Because I really don't like paying full price if I can help it. 🙂
Stay tuned on Monday for our P90X Menu Plan for this upcoming week and the first installment of the Time Management 101 series.
Did you snag any great deals or bargains this week or save money in other ways? If so, be sure to post about them on your blog and leave your link below. Please remember that this weekly round-up is to share deals you personally got and/or money you were able to save this week. In order to keep this weekly round-up focused on helping and inspiring others in their efforts to save money, links which have little-to-no content other than promoting affiliate links, etc. will be deleted.

Nothing found after Bedford High School bomb threatKATHY REMILLARD
Union Leader Correspondent
December 07. 2012 2:28PM
BEDFORD - A bomb threat brought police and fire personnel to Bedford High School Friday morning, though no evidence was found.
According to SAU 25 Superintendent Timothy Mayes, a message was found in a boy's bathroom stall before nine a.m., indicating that there was a bomb inside the building.
Bedford Police and Fire Departments were contacted, and a search was conducted of both the high school and the adjacent Ross A. Lurgio Middle School, which turned up nothing.
'We followed our protocol on these kinds of threats,' Mayes said.
Classes resumed as usual Friday afternoon.

Ever since violence resulting from terrorist attacks broke out in different parts of the world, Islamophobia is on the rise.
However, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman says had the gunman Stephen Paddock behind the Vegas incident been a Muslim the reaction and outburst from people and political leaders would have been entirely contrasting to what it is now.
Stephen Paddock in fact was treated very differently. He wrote that no one politicized the incident and the attacker in this case, which is an inevitable act if the attacker was a practicing Muslim, or had roots in Daesh (ISIL or ISIS). No one pointed out the extra lenient and relaxed gun laws in the US, which make it obtaining weapons extremely simple.
While fighting religious extremists remains a top-most priority of many countries, the fact that the US gave way to unnecessary clemency in Stephen's case only because he was a Native American, needs to be reflected upon.
Here is Thomas Friedman's view:
If only Stephen Paddock had been a Muslim … If only he had shouted "Allahu akbar" before he opened fire on all those concertgoers in Las Vegas … If only he had been a member of ISIS … If only we had a picture of him posing with a Quran in one hand and his semiautomatic rifle in another …
If all of that had happened, no one would be telling us not to dishonor the victims and "politicize" Paddock's mass murder by talking about preventive remedies.
No, no, no. Then we know what we'd be doing. We'd be scheduling immediate hearings in Congress about the worst domestic terrorism event since 9/11. Then Donald Trump would be tweeting every hour "I told you so," as he does minutes after every terror attack in Europe, precisely to immediately politicize them.
Then there would be immediate calls for a commission of inquiry to see what new laws we need to put in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. Then we'd be "weighing all options" against the country of origin.
But what happens when the country of origin is us?
What happens when the killer was only a disturbed American armed to the teeth with military-style weapons that he bought legally or acquired easily because of us and our crazy lax gun laws?
Then we know what happens: The president and the Republican Party go into overdrive to ensure that nothing happens. Then they insist – unlike with every ISIS-related terror attack – that the event must not be "politicized" by asking anyone, particularly themselves, to look in the mirror and rethink their opposition to common-sense gun laws.
So let's review: We will turn the world upside down to track down the last ISIS fighter in Syria – deploying B-52s, cruise missiles, F-15s, F-22s, F-35s and U-2s. We will ask our best young men and women to make the ultimate sacrifice to kill or capture every last terrorist.
And how many Americans has ISIS killed in the Middle East? I forget. Is it 15 or 20? And our president never stops telling us that when it comes to ISIS, defeat is not an option, mercy is not on the menu, and he is so tough he even has a defense secretary nicknamed "Mad Dog."
But when fighting the NRA – the National Rifle Association, which more than any other group has prevented the imposition of common-sense gun-control laws – victory is not an option, moderation is not on the menu and the president and the GOP have no mad dogs, only pussycats.
And they will not ask themselves to make even the smallest sacrifice – one that might risk their seats in Congress – to stand up for legislation that might make it just a little harder for an American to stockpile an arsenal like Paddock did, including 42 guns, some of them assault rifles – 23 in his hotel room and 19 at his home – as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition and some "electronic devices."
Just another deer hunter, I guess.
On crushing ISIS, our president and his party are all in. On asking the NRA for even the tiniest moderation, they are AWOL. No matter how many innocents are fatally shot – no matter even that one of their own congressional leaders was critically wounded playing baseball – it's never time to discuss any serious policy measures to mitigate gun violence.
And in the wake of last month's unprecedented hurricanes in the Atlantic – that wrought over $200 billion of damage on Houston and Puerto Rico, not to mention smaller cities — Scott Pruitt, Trump's head of the Environmental Protection Agency, also told us that it was not the time to discuss "the cause and effect" of these superstorms and how to mitigate their damage. We need to focus on helping the victims, he said. But for Pruitt, we know, it's never time to take climate change seriously.
To take ISIS seriously abroad, but then to do nothing to mitigate these other real threats to our backyards, concert venues and coastal cities, is utter madness.
It's also corrupt. Because it's driven by money and greed – by gunmakers and gun sellers and oil and coal companies, and all the legislators and regulators they've bought and paid to keep silent. They know full well most Americans don't want to take away people's rights to hunt or defend themselves. All we want to take away is the right of someone to amass a military arsenal at home and in a hotel room and use it on innocent Americans when some crazy rage wells up inside him. But the NRA has these cowardly legislators in a choke hold.
What to do?
Forget about persuading these legislators. They are not confused or underinformed. They are either bought or intimidated. Because no honest and decent American lawmaker would look at Las Vegas and Puerto Rico today and say, "I think the smartest and most prudent thing to do for our kids is to just do nothing."
So there is only one remedy: Get power. If you are as fed up as I am, then register someone to vote or run for office yourself or donate money to someone running to replace these cowardly legislators with a majority for common-sense gun laws.
This is about raw power, not persuasion. And the first chance we have to change the balance of power is the 2018 midterm elections. Forget about trying to get anything done before then. Don't waste your breath.
Just get power. Start now.

I admit, I don't follow politics nearly as much as I should. I don't stay on top of events, who's running or the candidates' policies. As I hang my head in shame, I confess, I am a bad citizen. Thankfully, there's an app for that.
Vote 2012 touts itself as "Your 2012 United States election headquarters" app. In short, it tells you who's running, connects you with their social networking links, their website and other online resources. It even pulls up the latest headlines for you. It brings just about all the information you need into one place and conveniently places it at your fingertips. Sound like something you could use to stay on top of things? Let's dig in a little deeper.
The first thing that loads is a profile of current United States President Barack Obama. You get a picture of the Commander in Chief set against a blue background denoting his affiliation with the Democratic Party, a number indicating how many Twitter followers he has and a short bio. Below the bio are icons to various social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Google+, and a globe icon with more links to events, a donate page, his home page, links to events and Google News updates. It's a good-looking, convenient way to gauge the online presence of each candidate.
At the very top of the first screen is a "pulse" icon, which takes you to the most recent stories regarding the 2012 elections, and a scrolling marquee with the latest headline. From there, simply swipe the profile picture to the left and you can see all of the other candidates.
Each candidate is ordered by number of Twitter followers. However, there appears to be a bug that causes the number of followers to drop to zero every time you load a different page in the app. For example, if I go to Herman Cain's Facebook page, or some other link and then come back, the count drops to zero. A strange bug, something that can be easily addressed in an update, but it's a mar on the surface of an otherwise well-done app.
Vote 2012 seems like a useful app for gathering information on each candidate quickly and easily, however, the scope is a bit limited. As the elections heat up over the course of the next 12 months, I can see future versions of the app possibly sending out notifications about poll results, showing a coverage map of who's currently leading in which state or where each candidate is currently campaigning, along with a list of events. Perhaps it could even list stances taken on certain policies by each candidate, campaign promises or debate results. Of course, right now, it doesn't offer any of that, but in future updates, these are features that could make this app even better than it is. For political news junkies, Vote 2012 might not be powerful enough, but to the casual observer with a passing interest the election, it's a good starting point to quickly catch up.

CORTLANDT MANOR, N.Y. - Westchester shoppers wasted no time trying to get their hands on the best Black Friday deals.
Hundreds braved the cold and formed long lines outside local stores that opened at midnight with "doorbuster" deals.
At the Cortlandt Town Center, hundreds lined up at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Old Navy and GameStop hoping to save hundreds on televisions, laptops, tablets, cameras and more.

In a contemporary jazz sense, "big band" doesn't mean what it once did.
In a contemporary jazz sense, "big band" doesn't mean what it once did.
"When it's live, it's like a big ball of energy coming toward you," Joe Mazzaferro said.
"This is much more modern," Brian Kendrick said. "All different kinds of styles. A lot of improvisation. At any point, anyone can get up and take a solo."
Just for fun - and with no disrespect intended - Brian Kendrick's Big Band is referred to playfully as "not your grandfather's big band."
"Not to insult anyone's grandfather," said Kendrick, a drummer and Delta College jazz instructor who admires ("which is fantastic") World War II-era big-band and jazz pioneers. "But this is more modern. More connected to anyone who likes jazz and progressive music."
Kendrick's 18-member group, filling a live-jazz void in Stockton, energizes and improvises for a third time Monday night at Take 5 Jazz at the Brew.
Tunes by Count Basie and Duke Ellington are on the set list. So are selections by Pat Metheny, Bob Curnow, James Miley and John Clayton along with arrangements by Mazzaferro and other band members.
Many of Kendrick's musicians - students, educators, life-long players - once participated in Delta College's Monday night jazz band. It became a budget-cutting victim. Monday jam sessions at Stockton's Blackwater Cafe ended when the 31-year-old venue closed in August.
"This is actually pretty easy," said Kendrick, 52, who also plays in two other regular Take 5 Jazz at the Brew groups. "All I had to do was call guys up and say, 'Let's do it.' Just send out email. 'Are you interested?' Everybody was. Nobody turned us down."
Now, Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet members from University of the Pacific lead Take 5 jam sessions on Tuesdays. The quintet and groups led by institute director Simon Rowe (piano) and Pacific's Patrick Langham (saxophone) - with Kendrick on drums - alternate Thursday shows.
Kendrick's Big Band, with Tom Kelley, a Brubeck Institute Jazz Quintet saxophone player included, plays the last Monday of each month.
Kendrick and Mazzaferro have seen this sort of thing before.
Kendrick, a native of Newport News, Va., who earned two music degrees from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, was getting a master's degree and teaching at Syracuse University when he discovered Syracuse Suds.
A brew pub that was "very similar, the same kind of vibe" as Take 5, it "pulled the best players from the area." He and his Salt City Jazz Collective were regulars.
He also likens Take 5 - in capacity and ambience - to New York City's 76-year-old Village Vanguard.
A Sacramento native and Pacific graduate, Mazzaferro, 28, studied jazz at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, discovering "quite a scene there. All the clubs all the time spreading up," creating a "unifying spirit that let a lot of musicians create."
He also inhabits Sacramento's downtown Naked Lounge monthly with his Joe Mazzaferro Quintet. In 2010, he helped Langham, an associate professor and director of jazz studies at Pacific, found the Sacramento Jazz Orchestra.
Rowe and Langham's models for Take 5 were clubs in Fargo-Moorhead, Minn., and Knoxville.
Kendrick's big-band instincts are natural.
His dad, Robert, a career-long member of the U.S. Army, was a "big, big, big-band" fan and trumpet player. Mom Polly was a "music lover," too.
Kendrick, "exposed early on" (age 10) to drumming, was part of an "amazing music program" in Seguin, Texas: "Hearing the best big bands in the world was just thrilling. I loved music. It just kind of caught hold."
That's what he's hoping for with his big band, even when squeezed into the 60-capacity Take 5.
"It's like one of those human Christmas trees," Kendrick said. "It's pretty compact, really. It's great. Really raucous. But nobody's claimed it's too loud. There's a very dynamic band learning to play in the room. Whenever people come down, it's gonna be good. Not sub-par."
It also will be progressively big band.
"My guess is there's a lot of misconception with the old-timey, Dixieland-ish kind of thing or smooth jazz," Mazzaferro said. "Not being exactly sure what to expect. A lot of things that are kind of old, some people don't want to have anything to do with it.
"If I say we're swingin' and we're having fun, it really just means we're groovin' in our own way. We're not doing it for money. We're doing it because we actually have fun playing this music. That's how we approach it."

If you are just joining us, you'll want to start here or check out my Clutter-Free Guide to Classroom Organization & Management.
I have to start by saying thank you to all of you who linked up with the Before Pictures Linky Party. The link will remain up there and you are welcome to join in at any time. I'm hoping that each of the weekly challenge linkys will continue to grow with time and become a great resource.
And now let's kick off week 2 of the The Clutter-Free Classroom PROJECT.
The goal for this week is to develop a plan for how you will declutter your space.
There are a few things I can not stress enough:
- You can't organize clutter.
- The less you have, the less you need to manage.
- Your trash is {quite possibly} another person's treasure.
- There is no value in an object that isn't being used.
I'm sure you are tempted to jump ahead to buying colorful bins and organizing your classroom, but that will not be effective.
First you need to purge everything that is not a necessity.
And before you can do that, you need to formulate a plan to help you meet with success.
Baby steps my friends.
So this week will be all about setting the stage for escorting all of the unwanted stuff out the door. After all, you can't have a Clutter-Free Classroom if you don't start by getting rid of the clutter.
It won't be that hard if you plan ahead and chip away at your plan.
You don't even need to throw anything away this week. But feel free to do so. It's addictive
Develop a plan for decluttering your space and compose a list of "non-negotiable must purge" rules.
I suggest you grab a 3-ring binder to help organize your PROJECT.
I'm a big fan of binders. :)

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards will star on a new cable TV show with the woman he married after his release from federal prison on a corruption conviction.
In a Facebook exchange Friday, Trina Scott Edwards told The Associated Press she's currently filming for "The Governor's Wife," which will showcase the 34-year-old wife of the octogenarian former governor.
According to A&E, the series will follow Trina Edwards as she tries to fit into the former governor's upscale world while trying to get along with step-daughters almost twice her age and corral her teenage sons.
The series will include Edwin Edwards' daughters: Anna, a 62-year-old four-time divorcee, and Victoria, described in a news release as "a hardened 60-year-old ex-showgirl."
Trina has sons from a previous marriage: Logan, 15 and Trevor, 13.
Episodes will include school projects and Trina making a run for president of the local homeowner's association. She also discusses the possible addition of a baby to the Edwards clan and skeptics who think she's a gold digger, according to the news release.
Edwards biographer Leo Honeycutt said the show has been shooting footage for more than a year. Honeycutt, who acknowledges his distaste for reality TV, said he worried the series could damage the former governor's legacy and his achievements in office.
"I'm afraid for them. I'm afraid what it's going to do to them. Nobody wants to be a laughingstock, and Louisiana has had enough of that kind of treatment," Honeycutt said.
Edwin Edwards served four terms as a Democratic governor in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. He married Trina in July 2011, shortly after his release from federal prison for his role in a bribery and extortion scheme to rig riverboat casino licenses during his fourth term, which ended in 1996.
Trina, who went by Trina Grimes Scott at the time, began writing him letters while he was in prison and visited him regularly. She is Edwards' third wife.
Edwards also served in Congress and was known for his charisma in politics. Despite his link to a Korean rice scandal early in his congressional career, he was known for being able to broker deals between rural and urban interests.
He was last elected governor in 1991, when he defeated former Ku Klux Klan wizard David Duke in a landslide.
"The Governor's Wife" is the latest in a string of Louisiana-set reality shows that include A&E's "Duck Dynasty," History's "Swamp People" and CMT's "Bayou Billionaires."
It premieres Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. CST.

From Earth Science On-Site
Park Hall Country Park, Stoke-on-Trent
It is anticipated that the ideas and materials presented here will be adapted by schools, and others, to be more appropriate for their own purposes and programmes of study.
In such circumstances please acknowledge the source as the Earth Science On-Site project.
Regionally Important Geological and geomorphological Sites [RIGS]
In the United Kingdom, important geological and geomorphological sites are protected in several ways. Nationally important ones are protected in law as Sites of Special Scientific Interest [SSSIs]. Several of these have been designated National or Local Nature Reserves. Non-statutory sites have less protection and are called Local Sites. These include Regionally Important Geological/ geomorphological Sites [RIGS], as well as Wildlife Sites, and are protected through the local authority planning process.
RIGS were established in 1990 as part of a national review of all sites. The four nationally agreed criteria for their selection are: Educational value, Scientific study, Historical value and Aesthetic value.
More than a thousand sites have been designated throughout the UK, mostly for their educational value. Two of the aims of GeoConservationUK are to increase public awareness of geoconservation and geodiversity, and encourage the educational use of sites by teachers and others.
The UKRIGS Education Project - Earth Science On-Site
The UKRIGS Education Project [Earth Science On-Site] uses former aggregates sites to develop and publish examples of high quality Earth Science field teaching activities for schools. They have been produced in collaboration with partners in the Earth Science Teachers Association [ESTA], the Earth Science Education Unit [ESEU] and the National Stone Centre [NSC]. The materials have been devised to address the requirements of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 2 [7-11 yrs], KS 3 [11-14 yrs] and KS 4 [14-16 yrs - GCSE]. These are intended as exemplars and may be adapted by teachers for use at other sites.
The Project is funded by DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, administered by Natural England (formerly English Nature).
The pilot project ran from August 2004 to March 2005 and four sites were chosen:
The major grant ran from May 2005 to March 2007 and a further eight sites were completed:
The continuing grant from July 2007 to March 2008 and enabled us to run several teacher-workshops and to work on three further sites:
As part of the Black Country Geodiversity Action Plan we were able to produce field teaching materials for:
The selected sites are designated RIGS or SSSI sites, mostly have open access or are owned by public bodies.
It is hoped that Earth Science On-Site will be extended with further funding.
Purposes of the Project
The purposes of the project are:
The Earth Science On-Site Guides
The guides to the sites will include the following information to assist group leaders and teachers when planning field activities:
The guides have been written on the assumption that Earth-Science On-Site visits by Key Stage 2 pupils in year 3; Key Stage 3 pupils in year 8; and Key Stage 4 visits will take place in year 11. However, it is anticipated that teachers, and others, will freely adapt the materials here to their own context and their own programmes of study as they see fit, and in the light of their own experiences.
This project has been supported by: DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, administered by Natural England (formerly English Nature); Earth Science Teachers Association, Earth Science Education Unit, the National Stone Centre, the team of ESTA writers, members of RIGS Groups and the schools which trialled the materials.
