And in the text widget, you'll probably need to add a

What is your blog address?
You can link it your name in these postings under the Users menu (I think).
Well wordpress removed the code I put in, which was br with a pointed bracket on each side of it.
If you post code in the forums, you need to put it between backticks or it won't display properly. Backticks are on the same key as the ~ and look like; `

Cook, C. C. H. (2010) 'Finding God in a holy place : explorations of prayer in Durham Cathedral.', London: Continuum.
'A holy place…is a place that becomes a "gateway to heaven"', writes Chris Cook, 'a place in which we are aware of the presence of God.' These places may be geographical or architectural, or they may be metaphorical: places of loss, or achievement, or transition. This book explores prayer in holy spaces: physical places where we can go to be nearer to God. It is focused on one particular place - Durham Cathedral (voted the country's best-loved building) - but it is designed to enable the reader to explore prayer in other holy places also. It is a practical guide to prayer which takes into account different personality types as well as the physical environment, and uses all of these to help the reader to draw closer to God.

Late Registration extended through Friday
The Late Registration Period for Spring Semester at Gavilan College has been extended through Friday, February 6.
Many class sections are full, but additional sections have been added for a number of high-demand classes, to give more students an opportunity to enroll. The Late Registration period was originally scheduled to close on Friday, January 31.
"We've added classes and extended registration so that more students can be accomodated, " said Vice President of Instruction martin Johnson. "As more students from UC and CSU are encouraged to complete their first two years at the community college, Gavilan College is working to make sure that students have the opportunity to take the classes they will need in order to transfer."
The state budget proposed by Governor Schwartzenegger last month would cut enrollment at the state's four-year schools and provide incentives for students to complete their first two years at the community colleges.
Students may register in person at all three locations or by phone, and may also check for class availability by phone. The phone system, "GavNOW", can be accessed by calling (408) 846-3729.

Time to do some outdoor Christmas decorating….but with fresh greens this time. My Tomato Cage Christmas trees were a hit! The folks over at Home Talk shared it on Facebook and it went to over 12,000 views in just one day! They do look great and were a lot of fun to make…but I like my fresh greens too and this is what this post is all about, yippee!
This is my very understated front door, very different from last years where I did up a huge door corner swag. Lets start with the planters….
Below is my array of goodies to make my planters. I bought some bundles from a local nursery and went around gathering what I could from my yard. I had cedar, Blue Cypress and across the street growing into the ditch is a variegated holly.
I had a bunch of pots left over from my summer growing season ( cucumbers and zucchini's were grown in these ). I left the soil in them and just pulled the dead debris off the top.
I dropped one of them into a burlap planting bag for my upright evergreen planter and the other one was for my mixed green planter. I simply just starting sticking the greens into the soil till I got the shape, fullness and texture I wanted. For a festive touch I added some pine cones and some balls.
For the sack, I just went with one kind of evergreen and shoved them into the soil. The antique skis were inherited with our purchase of our sporting goods store, Levy's Source for Sports, a few years ago. I finally get a chance to show case them in one of my seasonal displays.
I didn't want a wreath this year…just a simple swag with some raffia will do. And to finish off this simple display, a metal bucket with some pine cones was placed by the mixed planter.
So now on to my hanging baskets on my garage. I pulled down my spent summer baskets, cleaned them up and starting shoving the greens into the soil. I glued a couple of balls to skewers, popped them in and added Sinamay bows for a punch of bright red color.
I got my last gardening fix for the year with these simple projects….and now my outdoors looks great for receiving all my guests this holiday season. Think it's time to go make a Baileys Hot Chocolate and work on my shopping list….Cheers!

Simply magical!
A man with vision and courage pioneered the revolution. Mumbai, called Bombay then, had no idea of what was about to take place. On April 21, 1913, at the Olympia theatre, Dadasaheb Phalke premiered the first ever full-length film, Raja Harishchandra. A silent film based on the legend of King Harishchandra, it was released for the masses on May 3, 1913.
Ten decades have gone by. Today, the nation is paying a tribute to the date that Phalke had immortalized with the first public screening of his film. India being a nation where more than 1,000 films are made in various languages every year, the medium's growth deserves a special narration for those who wish to understand what cinema in the country is all about.
Indian cinema encompasses regional films (Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Gujarati, Bhojpuri, Punjabi etc), but the most visible body of work is generated by the Hindi film industry. Right from romances, underworld flicks, hilarious comedies, well-crafted offbeat films and jaw-dropping action films to social dramas and thrillers: Indian cinema includes just about any genre one can possibly think of.
Everything is fascinating about our movies, and its range, as diverse and charming as it can possibly be.
In honor of history
A documentary is being made as a tribute that celebrates the completion of 100 years of cinema. Four distinguished filmmakers – Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee – will be making four 20-minute short films, each of which is their own take on the Hindi film industry. The four documentaries, being made under the banner of Flying Turtle Films, will be clubbed together later and released as an 80-minute documentary titled Bombay Talkies.
According to a leading film website, Akhtar's documentary titled Sheila Ki Jawaani narrates the story of a young boy and his obsession with the song Sheila Ki Jawaani. The film will unfold the tales of popular item numbers, and how peppy and raunchy songs have become over the century. It features Katrina Kaif and also an in-depth interview with Ranveer Singh. While Anurag's film hasn't been titled yet, Priyanka Chopra will be a part of it. Karan Johar and Dibakar haven't started work on their projects yet.
With Indian cinema completing 100 years of existence, renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai's film school Whistling Woods International celebrated it in grand style. The inaugural function took off with the unveiling of a life-size statue of Dadasaheb Phalke by A.R. Rahman to deafening applause. A short film depicted the evolution of Indian cinema, beginning with the black and white era. Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra, the young stars from the movie Ishaqzaade, had an informal chat with the students. When asked about the student initiative 'Cinema 100', Chopra said, "It is mind-blowing." Industry veterans such as Randhir Kapoor, K. Shantaram, Rakesh Mehra and Jackie Shroff were also in attendance.
The first day of this three-day event ended with a special show of 18 minutes of Raja Harishchandra, the only part of the first ever silent Hindi feature film available today. This was followed by the acclaimed Marathi film depicting its making, Harishchandrachi Factory. The three-day extravaganza included, among other things, a music-filled occasion with legends like A.R. Rahman, Gulzar, Saroj Khan and Sukhwinder Singh creating an atmosphere of nostalgia for all music and dance lovers alike.
Adding to the celebration of memories, lyricist Prasoon Joshi has written a centenary anthem which will be rendered at the IIFA Awards in Singapore.
Government's action plan
From this year onwards, the National Film Awards will be given away on May 3rd every year. At the 59th National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi, Ambika Soni, Minister for Information and Broadcasting, said, "There are a few interesting projects to commemorate the centenary of Indian cinema. We are planning to open a museum of Indian cinema. The museum will be in Mumbai in the heritage building of Gulshan Mahal. It will be ready before May 2013."
The museum will showcase the history of the industry and its global impact. It will be a storehouse of information, equipment like cameras, editing and recording machines, projectors, costumes, photographs and other material. The properties, dresses, sets, tapes, vintage equipment, posters, copies of important films, prints, promotional leaflets, biographies, soundtracks, trailers, transparencies, film magazines and statistics covering film distribution are also expected to be displayed in a chronological manner.
The Directorate of Film Festivals in India is an organization that initiates and presents the most prestigious film ceremonies in India. This year, the organization is celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema by showcasing this year's all national-award winning films to all the major cities of India.
The glory of Indian cinema needs to be preserved, and shown to millions of film lovers. That it is being done in such an elaborate manner is great news indeed.
The emergence of films in India took every viewer by surprise. A look at what happened then, and what is happening now….
When it all began
Dadasaheb Phalke was a visionary. After he had conquered obstacles, both social and technical, to make Raja Harishchandra, the result was simply unbelievable. Phalke's film tells the story of the noble and righteous king, Harishchandra, who first sacrifices his kingdom, followed by his wife and eventually his children to honour his promise to the sage Vishwamitra. Pleased with him for what he does, however, the Gods restore his former glory. The film had an all-male cast because no woman was available to play any of the female leads. The reel was 3,700 feet long, and had a running time of 40 minutes. Because of his film's massive success, Phalke had to make more prints for rural areas. He came to be known as the 'Father of Indian cinema' later.
The original film comprised four reels. The National Film Archives of India only has the first and last reels, although some film historians believe they belong to a 1917 remake which shares the same title.
When Cinema Spoke
Indian film industry waited for almost 18 years before the first talkie got made. Titled Alam Ara and directed by Ardeshir Irani, the film debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai (then Bombay) on 14th March, 1931. It became so popular that it is said that the police had to be summoned to control the crowds.
The Rainbow Effect
Kisan Kanya was a 1937 Hindi feature film directed by Moti B. Gidvani and produced by Ardeshir Irani. It was India's first indigenously made film in color. However, V. Shantaram had produced a Marathi filmSairandhri (1933) earlier which had scenes in color. However, the film was processed and printed in Germany. Kisan Kanya was, therefore, India's first indigenously made color film.
Ray of Glory
Indian film industry was prolific in terms of the number of films being made every year. But the man who showed the power of Indian cinema to the world was the celebrated Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray. Ray's epic Pather Panchali (1955) was awarded for being the 'Best Human Document' at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival, establishing him as a major international filmmaker. Till today, it is considered to be one of the greatest films ever made.
New Dimension
Chhota Chetan is a 1998 Hindi movie directed by Jijo Punnoose. It was dubbed from the 1984 Malayalam movie, My Dear Kuttichathan — which was India's first 3-D film Chota Chetan was the first feature film to introduce DTS for a stereoscopic 3-D feature film.
Sci-fi High
Kaadu (The Jungle), a Tamil-American co-production, was the first sci-fi film in India. The film created an example that many would follow later.
Bollywood may be the most visible filmmaking industry in India. But Indian cinema has a lot to offer beyond that. In fact, artistically brilliant work characterizes many regional filmmaking industries
Bengali cinema has arguably produced the maximum number of aesthetically exquisite films among the different film industries in India. Makers like Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak have given us creations like the Apu Trilogy and Meghe Dhaka Tara whose acclaim has only enhanced as years have gone by. Many contemporary filmmakers like Aparna Sen, Rituparno Ghosh and Goutam Ghose have made films whose impact has been felt beyond Indian shores.
The Telugu film industry accounts for one per cent of the Gross Domestic Product of Andhra Pradesh. In fact, Andhra Pradesh has the highest number of movie theaters in the country. It produces the maximum number of movies in the country per annum. It has produced films such as Sagara Sangamam, Maro Charithra, a huge hit later remade in Hindi as Ek Duje Ke Liye, Rudraveena and Pokiri among many others.
Known for its socially oriented dramas and elaborate musicals, this industry has spawned titans like Sivaji Ganesan, M.G. Ramachandran, and of course, Rajanikanth. The presence of talents like Ilaiyaraja, Kamal Hasan, Mani Ratnam, A.R.Rahman and Prabhudeva has contributed immensely to take Tamil cinema to staggering heights. Movies like Roja, Kandukondain Kandukondain, and in recent times Sivaji and Dasavataram, have ensured that the industry's flag flies high. And, the future looks just as bright.
Having seen a massive downslide in the 1980s in the face of stiff competition from the more glamorous Bollywood, Marathi cinema returned with a vengeance in 2004 with the Oscar-nominated Shwaas. Following that, there has been no looking back with landmark films like Natrang and Harishchandrachi Factory (the second Marathi film to be sent to the Oscars), apart from other hugely acclaimed ones like Vihir, Jogwa and many others. The emergence of talented directors like Umesh Kulkarni and Satish Rajwade has made a huge difference to the industry which seems poised for tremendous growth.
An upsurge in the 1970s with new-age directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan (Swayamvaram and Kathapurushan) took Malayalam cinema beyond the confines of Kerala. This genre saw its best era from 1980 to 1990 with the production of masterpieces like Piravi and His Highness Abdullah among others. The industry kept on churning out good humorous and social movies till it received a setback from the more popular Tamil industry. However, in 2005, it saw a revival when directors like Roshan Andrews and Lal Jose made films like Classmates and Notebook among others. Presently, experimental movies and multi-starrers rule the roost.
SUCH IS Indian CINEMA
What makes Indian cinema different from films anywhere else in the world? Here are some answers
Indian films are made to entertain a wide audience, and therefore, offer a lot of variety. They can easily run for three hours, since they are packaged with romance, drama, comedy, fighting, songs and dance.
Right moves and choreographers
Contrary to Western musicals where song and dance scenes are integrated with the story, their counterparts in Indian films may have no connect with the plot whatsoever. Think of this scene. Just a moment ago, two lovers were standing on the stairs of a temple. Suddenly, they find themselves in the park of a palace or on a hill with about 30 people who sing and dance along with them. At times, the lyrics of these songs provide with an opportunity to declare their love for each other or to comment on the happenings in the film so far.
A love song can take place when the hero and the heroine get close to each other for the first time – but this can also be a dream sequence where one of the two imagines a meeting. Weddings in the movies give an opportunity for colorful dance numbers with many people in them. Religious songs can have dances as well. Then there are 'item songs.' These are usually song and dance scenes to enhance the entertainment value. In earlier days, item numbers were performed by vamps or minor characters in general, thereby offering an opportunity to show some skin. But nowadays, even the 'good girls' (read heroines) can perform an item number.
India produces a huge number of movies every year. So, choreographers work on several films at a time. Ace choreographer Saroj Khan points out that, while the Hindi film industry had barely 60 choreographers at one time, the number has risen to 300 today. When the choreographers are on the sets, they have complete control over the dance sequences. The director only explains his idea of the song and how it will work in the film. The choreographer takes over thereafter.
Today, a number of choreographers are continuing this tradition. Some who come to mind are Shiamak Davar, Saroj Khan, Ahmed Khan, Raju Khan, Vaibhavi Merchant, Remo and Farah Khan.
Music, poetry and their creators
Music has always been an integral part of Indian cinema. Poetry as a form of art originated centuries before cinema did, but it has also made a significant contribution to the cinema of our land. Renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai observes, "The songwriter is the one who actually gives a character to the actor". Well-known lyricist Gulzar, however, believes that every director wants only one thing: that is, his songs should be hit and should be sung by everybody. But, he also adds that the style of the artist gets reflected in his work.
The film industry has seen several great music directors in the past. Among them are S.D. Burman, C. Ramchandra, Kalyanji-Anandji, Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Naushad, Madan Mohan and Shankar Jaikishan who have created immortal music with the combination of Indian classical music and folk music which are treasured even today.
Music in Indian cinema will never go out of fashion. When great songs by the likes of AR Rahman get created today, or when Gulzar and Javed Akhtar pen memorable lines, it becomes obvious that the spirit of Indian cinema is well and truly alive.
Big budget masala movies used to characterize Bollywood. But the scenario is changing for the better
Lavish sets. Highly paid superstars. Exotic locations. Bollywood's hit factory packaged several such elements in the movies of yesteryear. Such films continue to exist, and do remarkably well too. Alongside such films, however, are small budget films which seem to be making a bigger impact with each passing day.
Siddharth Roy Kapoor, CEO, UTV Motion Pictures, observes, "The success of small budget films is indicative of the fact that audiences today are hungry for entertainment as well as quality content. You give it to them in an interesting manner, and they are happy to come and see it even if the film does not have big stars."
Small and medium budget movies are proving to be big draws, raking in anything between 16 crore and 40 crore. While the net collection of Kiran Rao's Rs five-crore directorial debut Dhobi Ghaat was Rs 16 crore, the romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu that was made for Rs 16 crore raked in Rs 40 crore. Rajkumar Gupta's adaptation of a real-life story titled No One Killed Jessica was able to gross Rs 28 crore at the ticket window. The total investment in the film was said to be Rs nine crore.
Today, content is the undisputed king in Bollywood. A typically commercial venture can be guilty of overlooking the fact that it needs a good script and good direction. When a producer manages to get a big star, he might believe that his film is made. That is a big mistake. For, in today's times, audiences make unusual choices often. And most of them are based on the quality of the story and direction.
Last year, quite a few interesting small budget films were able rake in moolah at the box office. These included Shor in the City, Chalo Dilli and I AM.
Promising director Zoya Akhtar shares her views on the growth of the film industry
Her brother Farhan Akhtar got his first hit with Dil Chahta Hai, his first film. She got it with her second. We're talking about the very talented Zoya Akhtar, who made her presence felt with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara last year.
Speaking with likable frankness, Zoya feels that her brother, Farhan got lucky when he started out. "You may get lucky like him," she said, adding, "He was just 25 when he wanted to make Dil Chahta Hai which reflected his life. He met someone like Aamir Khan who loved the idea. So it just happened."
Zoya's first film Luck By Chance was rejected by many leading actors. Finally, she had to settle for her brother Farhan and Konkona Sen Sharma. Even though it was critically acclaimed, the film didn't do well at the box-office. "The actors I wanted in Luck By Chance didn't want to do the film. The male actors thought it was a girl's story. And, after one's choice of three or four actors, one's doesn't want to work with anyone else because they don't suit the part," said the filmmaker.
When asked about her signature style in films, Zoya confessed, "I have not developed a style yet. I am just two films old. But friendship is an integral part of my films because of the kind of friends I have had. When you grow up and are from a broken home, your friends tend to become really big in your life. Both Farhan and I have a very tight group of friends, and have a huge regard for those relationships."
The filmmaker is very upbeat about the future of Indian cinema. She says, "I'm not an astrologer. So I don't know how accurate I would be. Yes, the world is waking up to Indian cinema, but that is happening in a freakish, over-the-top way. We have a very different way of telling stories. Our audiences go to watch films for very different reasons. We can't forget that, and we shouldn't forget that. But, as the market opens further, we will be able to grab a certain amount of distribution in the West and other countries. This will enable the filmmakers to tell their stories in a different form. Right now, it is very difficult for me to have no songs since they are a marketing tool. Till we don't crack the distribution network, therefore, it will be very difficult."
She adds on an optimistic note, "The world is getting global and smaller. So, I think it will happen very soon. That is very exciting, and I hope I'm there when it happens. It'll be nice to tell typically Indian stories in a manner which it is palatable to other people. At the rate at which we're growing and spreading everywhere, I don't think the world has an option." We agree.
The film industry is re-presenting old black and white films in color, thus adding a new charm to classics.
When a classic black and white film is produced in color all over again, it acquires a new feel. Whistling Woods International's celebration of 100 years of Indian Cinema 'Cinema 100' played host to Ketan Anand, son of the legendary director Chetan Anand, who was there to show the marvelous effect of colours on his father's film Haqueeqat.
Haqueeqat is a classic, and one of the first war movies of Indian cinema. It starred actors like Dharmendra, Balraj Sahni, Priya Rajvansh, Sanjay Khan and Vijay Anand. In the film, Chetan Anand has shown the lives of a small group of soldiers during the Sino-Indian war of 1962. It's an extremely touching story about how they died fighting. When asked about his father's style of filmmaking, Ketan Anand said, "Real incidents influenced his cinema a lot." It took Ketan Anand three long years to finish the project. He said, "Basically, it is a tedious process. It is literally a paint job." When the movie was shown, it was as if it was always shot in color.
The process of colorization is evolving with time. Haqueeqat has joined the small list of black and white films that have been colorized in recent years. Along with color, another remarkable addition to this film is the background score. It now has Dolby Digital sound.
The costs involved in creating the film with a new look were huge, the process of colorization being new to India. However, the making of such a masterpiece shows how much progress technology has made, and how Indians are adapting to the change.

We all hide aspects of our lives from those around us. Through shielding these secrets, the people we come in contact with gain a false impression of the type of individual we are. For instance, I once heard someone refer to my life as being "perfect." Naturally, just as every other person on the planet, my life is a far cry from perfect. To an outside observer, we all can seem so "normal" or even unrealistically "perfect." But if we were to truly know each other's secrets, we would realize that person 'X' does not have it better than us as they have their own assortment of problems and person 'Y' is not so different from us because they too struggle with the same type of secret.
We all are guilty of looking at someone and wishing we could switch places with them. Also, we all have a particular side to our lives we keep buried, under lock and key, and continually pray will never find a speck of sunlight for fear of being harshly judged by those in the outside world. What would happen if we stopped guarding these secrets but revealed them? The mere contemplation of such a thing is both liberating and terrifying. Would we finally breathe a sigh of relief upon learning the person we thought was "perfect" has an addiction problem? Or that they had an affair with a married individual? Or that they have terrible relationships with family members? Or that their last relationship resulted in their heart being ripped from their chest? Would that make us breathe easier?
Sadly, I believe it would allow us to experience a level of relaxation that few, if any, of us have previously had. Because in learning the secrets of those around us, we, too, would be able to relinquish the reins on our own. We would realize that our own problems or secrets are not uncommon within the rest of society. We could stop feeling as though we are alone on a heavily populated planet. We could find peace in ourselves. We could find comfort.

I've searched for a lot of meanings online and this is by far the most thorough answer I've ever seen. I can't agree more with your interpretation of this quote and I know I would breathe easier if I could open up.ReplyDelete

I truly agree with you about opening ourselves up. We all feel like our secrets are possibly so much worse than people could ever understand or forgive. What a world it would be if we could really open up to one another.ReplyDelete

A shoplifter has admitted stealing hundreds of pounds worth of clothes from a flagship town centre store.
Joan Challinor travelled all the way from Liverpool with two of her friends to target the Marks and Spencer store.
St Helens Magistrates' Court heard how Challinor, 45, was clocked entering the Church Street store with a friend at about 12.40pm on January 16.
Angela Blackmore, prosecuting, told how CCTV monitoring then showed both women leaving the store carrying large Marks and Spencer bags.
The duo ran across Church Square to load the bags into the boot of a waiting vehicle - but Challinor was quickly detained by a store security guard and the other two women drove off.
In total, some £744 worth of clothes were recovered.
Although Challinor had no previous convictions, the court was told she did have two out of court disposals against her name - both for theft.
Paul Potter, defending, said his client had made no threats to the security guard when stopped and that the goods had been recovered.
He told how Challinor, of Cherry Lane, Liverpool, had been in full time employment as a support worker before suffering a breakdown following the death of both her parents.
Mr Potter added that she fully accepted she was in the wrong.
District Judge Ian Lomax told the defendant: "You've pleaded guilty and have no previous convictions but what makes this more serious is that there was clearly some planning, it was a joint enterprise and the goods stolen were not of insignificant value.
"I'm not going to lock you up but I am going to ask the probation service to prepare a pre-sentence report."
Challinor is due to be sentenced on February 26 and was granted unconditional bail.

GED Practice
Practice for GED Language Arts, Writing
This resource has practice questions for Part I of the GED Language Arts, Writing Test (the multiple-choice section). All of the questions are like the ones you will have to answer on the GED (all practice questions are based on the 202 GED series).

At the end of each group of questions are answers and explanations, and suggested resources.
This resource also contains the GED essay game, which will help you practice for Part II of the GED Language Arts, Writing Test (the essay). The game takes you through the process of writing a complete GED essay. As you go through the game, pay attention to the areas that are most difficult for you.
A note for GED test-takers
As with all CWEST resources, you should use these practice resources in any way that works for you. One strategy is to use them to evaluate your current areas of strength and weakness. Doing so can help you create a plan for what subject areas of the GED Writing Test you most need to study.
Below is a possible study plan using these practice questions, the GED game, and other CWEST resources.
- Answer the practice questions and complete the GED essay game as best you can.
- Check your answers, noting your strongest and weakest areas. Also note the areas in the game that were most difficult for you.
- Read the explanations for all practice questions and note the suggested CWEST resources. Note the essay resources that relate to areas that you struggled with while going through the essay game.
- Study the suggested resources, spending the most time on your weakest areas. Many of the CWEST resources also include relevant exercises, so you can get even more practice.

|About myself:
|My first love has always been computers. I started with them back in 1967 at UC San Diego when I learned "DITRAN" as an undergraduate. After I transferred to UCLA in 1968 I got a job working for the Campus Computing Network (later called Office of Academic Computing and then Academic Technology Services) and worked my way up from a consultant, to a systems programmer, to Manager of the Microcomputer Support Office. On the side, during the late 70's and early 80's I wrote books and software for the Apple II personal computer, such as Beneath Apple DOS. (You can download my first game for the Apple II - Beneath Apple Manor - this version runs on a PC.) The last few years at OAC I worked on the Bruin OnLine project (which provides email and network dialup to UCLA's faculty, staff and students) and the CLICC student lab in Powell Library. In the Fall of 1997, I moved to UCLA's Administrative Information Systems (AIS) as Manager of Planning and Architecture. In July, 1999 I became Executive Director of AIS.

Why the Vancouver Canucks Struggles Will Help Them Come Playoff TimeDecember 20, 2011
The Vancouver Canucks are clearly past their early season struggles as they inch closer and closer to the Minnesota Wild for the Northwest Division lead.
Despite their early issues, and battle to get over their Stanley Cup hangover, the Canucks will be able to use their struggles from the early part of the 2011-12 season to help them in April.
The adversity and bad press the team received following their seventh game loss to the Boston Bruins in last year's Stanley Cup Final and into the early parts of this season have now enabled the Canucks to know how to deal with these situations this year.
Not only will their experience from last year help them, but so too the early struggles of this season.
Not everyone recognizes this, but the Canucks rarely have a good first month to the season. Since the lockout, the average record of the Canucks at the end of October is around .500.
Yet almost every year the Canucks find themselves as Northwest Division Champions come playoff time. So clearly their struggles in the past have helped them come playoff time before.
In 2011-12, whether it be the inability of the second line to find chemistry, Ryan Kesler's early return, or the goal-tending "controversy," several aspects of the Canucks game has either been a distraction or the face of adversity has reared its ugly face again and again.
Going forward, the Canucks struggles will help them come playoff time because of the fact the Canucks are excellent at rebounding and learning from mistakes. They will take what they learned from the Finals last year and apply it to their game, making themselves that much more effective.
In terms of what has happened this year, you can already see they have made adjustments and it is directly reflected in the record.
One thing the Canucks are all too used to is injuries, and their ability to have players step in and perform has really helped them so far this season, and come playoff time with all the bumps and bruises, their ability to return from injury as well as being able to count on call-ups from the farm and be confident with their play will really help the Canucks long-term.
If you could define the Vancouver Canucks with one word, it would probably be adversity. This team faces more man games lost to injury each season than any other in the league, yet they are able to continue to be a winning team.
If anyone knows how to deal with a bit of struggle or adversity, it is the Canucks, and you can count on them learning, dealing with their struggles and performing well come the 2012 playoffs.

Developmentally disabled take to the greens as Life Skills golf tournament raises the green By Patrick Sullivan • Jul 26, 2010 Jose Espinosa steps into the tee box of Meadowbrook Country Club's driving range. Ahead of him lie hundreds of yards of grassy terrain spotted with multicolored flags and golf balls. Espinosa peers out onto the surface, looks down, grabs a ball from a nearby bucket, gently places it in the tee box and launches the ball an incredible distance. Before the ball even hits the ground, Espinosa turns around and finds Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and former St. Louis Blue Bernie Federko and gives him a high-five. The most intimate of concerts: in the living room By Terry Perkins • Jul 26, 2010 Terry Perkins | For the St. Louis Beacon As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, the music business continues to splinter and transmogrify in the face of continuing technical advances and resulting changes in the way consumers obtain music. Digital downloads -- legal and illegal -- have transformed the music industry from a business model ruled by major corporate conglomerates into a free-for-all environment that's increasingly unpredictable, volatile and independently focused.

With Thanksgiving Day around the corner, the curtain closes on the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series year at Homestead-Miami Speedway this Sunday. It's been a long season, but JTG Daugherty Racing's driver Bobby Labonte is already preparing for a fresh start in February 2013.
"We are continuing to make strides," Labonte said. "We've come a long way. We have some momentum on our side going into Homestead and the off season. We hope to close out the year and give Clorox and all of our partners a strong finish."
Labonte has experienced a good bit of success at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The 21-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winner has recorded one victory, three top-five and four top-10 finishes in 13 visits.
"Homestead has changed so many times now, but it's a really good track and I've had some success there," Labonte said. "We've gotten better at mile-and-a-half tracks. We have some more work to do. This race will allow us to try a few things before we head into the off season."
Indeed this season has had some highs and lows, but the JTG Daugherty Racing team definitely turned a corner midseason. Overall, Labonte collected two top-10, six top-15 and 14 top-20s in 35 starts. It gives the team a good baseline as they continue to grow.
"For starting the year off behind schedule, we've made a lot of progress through the season and that is a major accomplishment for us," Labonte said. "We've also added a lot since midseason that has helped us and it shows with us coming out with more top-20s, top-15s and 10s than the first half. We have some momentum on our side. We will continue to work in the right direction this winter. Now, we have a year under our belt as a new team and that helps with preparation for next year. With the new car, we know we have a lot of work in front of us."

Migration of the Kaywode family to the New World and Oceana
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Kaywode surname or a spelling variation of the name include : Richard Cawood who arrived in Barbados in 1635; and later moved to St. Christopher; Ann Cawood who settled in Maryland in 1676.

Obama's pandering to people to pass Stimulus Part Deux the same as Jesus talking to disciples! This is what comes from a member of what I am told by those that claim to know better than me what qualifies one as a member of the independent/mainstream circle, and it beats any possible parody you can dream up with. If this nonsense is what it takes to be mainstream or independent, I can honestly say that I am proud to be amongst the radicals. No surprise it comes from NPR, that oh so centrist and mainstream, "press" organization.
Tag: National Public Radio
So NPR was lying
When they said they would do just fine without tax payer dollars. Why do I say that? Well, it looks NPR is using tax payer dollars to hire lobbyists to get lobby congress for more tax payer dollars. For an organization that got all huffy that the peasants were pointing out tax payer subsidy of a partisan propaganda outlet like NPR and claimed they would do better without those tax payer subsidies, it sure looks like they are fighting hard to keep them in place now:
National Public Radio (NPR) is paying the lobbying firm Bracy, Tucker, Brown & Valanzano to defend its taxpayer funding stream in Congress, according to lobbying disclosure forms filed with the Secretary of the Senate. The taxpayer-funded radio network hired the firm in the second quarter of 2011 to work on issues regarding "funding for NPR and affiliate stations."
It will remain unclear how much NPR is paying for these lobbying services until second quarter lobbying forms are filed. But before NPR hired the firm to represent it on funding issues, the network spent $131,666 in 2011's first quarter on an in-house lobbyist.
NPR's hiring of the lobbying firm comes in the wake of a public debate over whether the network should continue to receive taxpayer funds. Shortly after NPR was subjected to public humiliation due to the release of conservative Project Veritas's sting videos, House Republicans voted to take away the network's taxpayer funding in March. (The Senate, however, never passed a similar measure to defund NPR.)
In the Project Veritas videos, now-former NPR nonprofit foundation President Ron Schiller told people who he thought were representatives from a Muslim Brotherhood front group looking to donate $5 million to the network that NPR would be "better off" in the long term without taxpayer subsidies. He also attacked the Tea Party as racist and suggested that Jews control America's newspapers.
Heh. Guess they weren't completely honest there, huh? You don't spend money lobbying congress – especially when the argument can be made you are using tax payer funding to get more tax payer subsidies, which you then will use to screw over the tax payers by supporting a party and an agenda that is usually seriously hostile to tax payers – if you think the tax payer subsidization isn't a benefit.
What NPR was likely trying was to dismiss their critics, by pretending they didn't need the loot congress was giving them, because they dammed well knew they could not seriously make the case they aren't a bunch of partisan propaganda hacks, which would seriously impugn the whole idea of having the tax payer subsidize their propaganda. Hope they fall flat on their face. Congress shouldn't be giving my confiscated income to people that then use that to promote an agenda that's so vehemently hostile to me and the fact that I don't want to live off of government handouts.

It's my Mom's birthday today, so I'm off the Internet for the next few hours. I'll write when I get back.
I just came across a couple interesting items.
David Hardy over at Arms and the Law posts about the NY Times using their clout with a state agency to condemn the properties without ever making an offer to the owners when they built their new building. Not exactly the type of thing they avoid demonizing in other corporate doings.
One architectural report explains, "The New York Times Company wants a headquarters building that befits its position in the media industry, in the city, and in the world." A Times spokesman explained it had a it had a duty to seek profits for its shareholders: "as long as these kinds of incentives continue to exist, it is incumbent upon us, as a publicly held company, to seek the benefit of those incentives for our shareholders."
Here's another item on the opposition to America's independence from Middle East oil:
Pipeline Officials Invited Back To Bethel. There's No Way Anyone Will Listen To Them, But Selectmen Hope Local Shopkeepers Might Be Able To Sell Them A Slim Jim Or A Dasani Or Something | The Rumford Meteor
The headline is the humor of the Rumford Meteor but the underlying story is about opposition to reversing a flow of an existing pipeline to bring oil sands oil into the US from Canada. Check out this logic:
Resolution supporters worry PMPL might reverse the flow in order to carry diluted bitumen ("tar sands") oil from Canada to Portland, and that the composition of that oil would increase the likelihood of a pipeline break or spill.
JKB, after reading your first link the list below makes sense.

open thread comment… Jay Nordlinger has a post at The Corner that contains this question (cut and paste)
I have a question: Why are Democrats willing to go to the mat for a Republican who has shown himself to be — what should we say? Not very impressive, at least in a confirmation hearing?
1) To make the Republican party look bad?
2) Because he is Obama's choice, and Obama is the One?
3) Because he has expressed antipathy to Israel?
4) Because he has advocated almost the softest possible line toward Iran and its satellites (Hezbollah, Hamas)?
5) Because the conservatives are against him, and therefore the Left must be for him?
6) Because a Republican war hero is just the right man to preside over the gutting of the Defense Department?
Interesting question, isn't it? WHY are the Democrats going to the mat to promote an under-performing and highly flawed *Republican* ???
Mike, do I have the option of choosing more than one answer. Better yet, I am raising the bet and asking the same question and inserting Republican. Betcha they fold like a cheap suit in no time.

My favorite quote of the day (so far). Via instapundit:
P. J. O'Rourke famously quipped that "giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
Unrelated, I just had an odd thought: Is Sandra Fluke the Cindy Sheehan of her generation?
(raised to public prominence all out of proportion to actual worth; and in the end even her supporters will end up wishing she would just GO AWAY.)

And yet more fun with open threads. (Have I said I like open threads? 🙂
Here's one on sequestration. I got this from Ace of Spades:
Unemployment has been around 8% (officially, it's higher) for 4 years. While private sector workers lost their jobs the size of the federal civilian workforce has grown under Obama.
Now that the pain (relatively slight) is hitting the bureaucrats, hold on a minute, now we have a crisis!
I want the size, scope and power of the national government shrunk drastically. The effects of sequestatration are a drop in the bucket compared to what I want to see! The problem with sequestration is twofold:
– It is a blunt instrument where we'd prefer to see a scalpel used judiciously. Poorly managed, some services will be unexpectedly stopped in an unplanned manner.
– It is not "fair", because it hits different departments differently. Even among conservatives, some of our own sacred cows get gored more than other areas we'd rather see cut. So we're not too happy about sequestration "cuts" either.
So here's my thought! OK, let's make sequestration fairer. Please identify which department sequestration cuts the worst. And then cut all the OTHER departments more severely, to match it! That would be fair!
And I'd be even happier. Sequestration is a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed. I can't concern myself very much over sequestration. Let it happen.
It was always natural that the overseers made more than the slaves. People who expect better might want to perhaps revisit the concept of a slave plantation and what it is for.

Today in Sequestration News!
LaHood, supposedly a Republican, in charge of the FAA, said that due to sequestration, they are going to furlough a bunch of air traffic controllers, causing widespread chaos in the air traveler system.
In related news, my person household was just hit with sequestration. I have to make a 2% cut in my annual budget, just like the government does. I've been receiving 5% annual increases in my budget for the last several years, so, oh oh oh oh oh! Where to cut? Where to cut that 2%, after I've been receiving 5% increases for so many years?
So I gathered my family together, and I told them, no more food. We're going to starve and die over the next few weeks. "There! That'll show everybody!" I muttered furiously.
"But that's more than 2%!" my family protested. "I don't care!" I responded with grim satisfaction. I'm going to show everybody not to mess with me! We'll starve, and we'll die. The dog goes first."
If you make, say, $2,500/month, your 2% is $50/month.
Income taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, unemployment, health insurance, life insurance, home maintenance, mortgage or rent, etc., do not go down. Those things stay the same.
So what does that $50/month come out of for you? Your retirement fund? Your grocery bill?
If it costs $50 to take the family or grandkids out to dinner or a movie, well, the government just told you to stay home, you can't do that. Birthday presents for your parents, spouse, and children? Send them an email.
Fill up the gas tank to drive out into the country or to another city to visit some friends? Nope, maybe you still have some minutes left on your cell phone, which probably costs $50/month.
$600/year? What vacation or weekend getaway?
Pick one or more of the above.
That 2%/$50 doesn't come out of your base pay and all your expenses, it comes out full strength from your discretionary spending.
I am not a math maven, but my understanding of sequestration (sounds like a great name for a race horse) is that the 2.5% "threat" is over a ten-year period.

More fun with sequestration! My Sequestration Thought For The Day:
Ray LaHood's budget at DOT under sequestration is going UP $600 million. He'd lose $1 billion of a planned $1.6 billion *increase*. The key concept: THERE IS NO CUT. There is only a reduction of the increase.
So this poor, befuddled soul is required to wonder, how much can change on one year at the DOT? If they didn't have to furlough a whole bunch of air traffic controllers last year, and they didn't have to shut down a whole bunch of air traffic control towers last year…
why, when they are given $600 million more to play with this year, will they HAVE to shut down air traffic control towers and furlough employees?
Even in defense, where sequestration is hitting the hardest, there are only cuts in the yearly increases, not actual cuts.
The same is true almost everywhere you look. The sequestration "cuts" are almost always merely reductions in increases, not actual cuts. Under the Obama Admin, the federal budget has grown by at least 28% in four to five years. And we're told that a 2% "cut" will be utterly catastrophic?
Puh-leeze. We are being railroaded. And they are making sure that every "cut" they have to make will result in the most visible obvious pain possible. Having trouble with your own house budget? Well, it's clear: Turn off the heat! And refuse to feed the family dog, so that it starves to death within two weeks, so that little Buffy cries while it dies. But cancel that bi-weekly hairdressing appointment at the $200 per haircut salon? Never!
The national government needs to be cut by a third. And here we are, being programmed to accept the fact that we can't even cut into its yearly INCREASES. After enlarging it by 28% over the last four years.
I suppose the GOP is trying, in its usual, very very quiet, legislative bean-counter manner, to hold the line somewhere. But what is its *message*? Don't say anything to rock the boat! Don't say anything that might rile the Left! The GOP message is severely muted. If its message were a human body it would have no pulse and be in danger of brain-death. There is no message. Or not much of one. They fail time and time again at delivering any message with core conservative principles. If you can't fight the cultural battle, if all you want to do is quietly bean-count, you're doomed to lose.
In sum, we are being railroaded. And the GOP is perfectly fine with it. the Democrat Left, on the other hand, must be ecstatic. Happy Feet Time! Yet another big win for them.

Leftist Feminist Propaganda on the National Mall?
Background: The National Women's History Museum (NWHM) currently exists online "to raise awareness and honor women's diverse experience and achievements." For a number of years the museum and its vocal activists have been advocating for a physical location on the National Mall. H.R. 863 would establish a committee to study the creation of that location. The committee would make recommendations on the structure and governance of the site and explore fund-raising options. NWHM alleges that no taxpayer funds would be used to commission or construct the museum. While the idea of honoring the great female leaders of American History is noble and shared by all, many conservatives are concerned about the leftist ideological implications of this legislation.
Lack of Safeguards. While NWHM claims a nonpartisan agenda, there is no mechanism in place to ensure that the museum is not used as a platform to promote liberal propaganda (even if that museum is still in its infancy). The women typically celebrated by federally monitored or federally commissioned institutions are of the "progressive era" or the "sexual liberation movement" (consider particularly the characters and events promulgated by Smithsonian institutions or nationalized educational programs). These figures glorify the elements of women's history that have furthered disrespect for human life, destruction of the family unit and general harm to the wellbeing of women. As the CEO of the Concerned Women for America said in an open letter to Congress:
To indoctrinate American children, who visit the Nation's capital, with leftist views is so distasteful that within this climate we respectfully decline our own museum. We would prefer that students visit the other 19 Smithsonian museums and galleries to hear about women's history than to have one that propagates a false narrative.
Questionable Figures Promoted. A brief survey of NWHM's website reveals the class of women, and by extension, the types of values, that the proposed museum intends to promote. Women who have celebrated traditional, conservative or family values are outnumbered by those espousing progressive, feminist ideologies. For example, the NWHM would extol Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and a noted advocate of sterilization and eugenics. They reference "free love" enthusiast Victoria Woodhull, who equated marriage with "forced prostitution," over 20 times. And of course, no tribute to progressivism would be complete without proper deference to Sandra Fluke, anti-life activist and supporter of federally funded contraception. These values are disproportionately reflected in the NWHM agenda, not only doing a disservice to traditional ideals but actively harming the burgeoning value systems of all the young people who will look to the museum as a source of history.
Funding. Supporters of this legislation cling to the point that private funding will be used for every step of implementation. If passed, the Congressional committee would be required to compile a fundraising plan that provides for public contributions, but said plan would never prohibit federal funding. The Smithsonian Institution, for instance, receives 65% of its funding from the government ($805 million in FY2014). In all likelihood, taxpayer dollars will be necessary to sustain an institution that perpetuates a one-sided and damaging narrative about the women's movement in America.

Bodyguards and Assassins
Hong Kong, 2009
Genre: Historical
132 minutes
When the revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat Sen plans a return to Hong Kong, his supporters find themselves in the midst of a life-and-death struggle to protect the one man who can save China.
Unlike most martial arts films, Bodyguards and Assassins lacks a clear hero for the audience to identify with. The plot revolves around a group of Chinese revolutionaries working at a newspaper press, including the businessman owner and his son, the president of the press, the owners rickshaw driver, and a host of other colorful characters from around the city. It seems like this band of heroes is meant to symbolize the necessity of unity among all the social levels of Chinese culture, but as a film, it makes it difficult to follow a single storyline. There are numerous subplots revolving around a rickshaw drivers love interest, a daughter seeking revenge for her fathers murder, a police officers strained relationship with his estranged wife, and, of course, the plans to escort and protect Dr. Sun from the governments team of ninja assassins (no, seriously, Chinese ninjas).
Donnie Yen, the films big martial arts star, plays the aforementioned cop, who begins the film by working for the local government, doing odd jobs for money to spend on wine and gambling. His wife left him for the businessman with his daughter, but goes back to him and asks him to help protect Dr. Sun. He agrees after meeting his child for the first time, and lends a critical hand in protecting the escort through the streets of Hong Kong. He eventually is hunted down by one of the top assassins working for the government, played by MMA superstar Cung Le, the second most recognizable face in the movie. Their fight scene is the best in the film, and is probably the biggest draw for Americans looking for the movie.
To call this movie a Kung Fu Film would be a bit of a misnomer. Really, its more like a historical film that happens to use martial arts and wire-fu in the fight scenes. The fights are choreographed and shot well, complemented nicely by the orchestral rock music score. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a clear hero, there isnt much of a final showdown with the big bad boss man, resulting in a somewhat anti-climactic ending. Even with the cast of lesser heroes, tragedy abounds through the film, removing any chance of catharsis that could have been used to relieve the audiences tension. In the end, there isnt really a personal resolution to the film. As a Chinese-American, I do feel a small swell of pride as Dr. Suns mission is accomplished, but it may be a little much to ask of people who dont have the cultural connection to the historical events portrayed in the film. Still, if youre just watching it for the good parts, its still a movie worth picking up.

Homemade goods don't have to look, well, homemade. Try one of our favorite holiday projects- the sparkly snowflake ornaments. Use beads and floral pins to make these stunning holiday decoration.
How to Make Holiday Ornaments
What you need
Hot glue gun
Cork – use an old cork board or cut up a wine cork
Beads – you can buy beads or buy old jewelry from your local thrift store and re purpose it. Beads can be any size, from small to large. Just make sure that they will fit on the pin without being too wobbly.
Floral pins
Ribbon or a wire ornament hook to hang the ornament.
Step One:
Cut up the cork into small squares. You want it big enough to hold six pins, but small enough to hide behind the beads.
Step Two:
Slid the beads onto the floral pin.
Step Three:
Add a dab of hot glue to the cork and slide the pin on. Let it dry before adding the next pin.
Step Four:
Repeat until you have a fabulous snowflake.
Step Five:
Glue on a loop of ribbon or a metal ornament hook. With the ornament hook, straighten the bottom of the hook and coat it in hot glue. Then, insert it into the cork until it feels firmly stuck. Let it dry before hanging on your tree.
