Janna Rosenkranz as Westmoreland, Northumberland, Bardolph and Glendower.
I play four, very different men in Henry IV, Part 1: the solider Westmoreland, the politician Northumberland, the clown Bardolph and the Welsh, wizard-warrior Glendower. As an actor I approach my roles from the outside-in. I use everything from physical descriptions, historical renderings (in this case three of the four characters are based on real people), clothing and footwear, how the world sees the character from the outside to the image the character wishes to show the world when working on the essence of characters.
In this case I began by choosing an archetypical figure-type for my men, hence the title of this essay. I choose these archetypes to work as cores for all four characters. I'll tell you about them in order of appearance.
Westmoreland, based on Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland (ca. 1364 – 21, October 1425) who, among other things, had 23 children and was survived by most of them. (wikipedia) The historical information I read mostly speaks about his responsibilities as a solider. In our play he is portrayed as simply this and, more importantly, a method of communicating exposition in the first scene. He only truly expresses emotions once; in the first scene when he describes the 'beastly and shameless transformation" done to the bodies of Mortimer's men by the Welsh women after a military loss to Glendower. In order to turn this character into someone three dimensional, I have concentrated on his loyalty to the King and his sons, Hal and John. My job as an actor is to make two speeches of exposition in the first scene interesting and compelling. Therefore, I worked on making him truly love the royal family and hate the Percy family as much as possible. This is nicely bookended by the final scene in which, without lines, I try to communicate my love for the Lancasters and pleasure that they have been victorious over the rebels.
Now to Westmoreland's enemy, Northumberland. Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, 4th Baron Percy (10, November 1341 – 20, February 1408). (wikipedia) He is only in one scene, but like Glendower, his name comes up a lot in other scenes. For an actor how much the character is talked about and what is said about them is very important. Northumberland has his hands full with a family that doesn't quite live up to his standards. His brother, Worchester crosses the line with the King and his son Hotspur is impossible to control. I love my one full line in the first part of the one scene in which I play this character, when I manipulate the truth regarding Hotspur's prisoners like a master (think former VP Cheney's recent press tour). Sadly, the idiot Hotspur opens his mouth and messes my plan up. I spend the entire rest of that first half of the scene trying not to boil over with anger at him as he goes on (and on and on) and continues to dig his own grave. In the second half of the scene with only Hotspur and Worchester on stage, my favorite line is the bitingly sarcastic "Brother, the King hath made your nephew mad." (Henry IV, Part 1: I, iii) Sadly, neither brother nor son are sophisticated enough to understand sarcasm. My Northumberland is full of anger towards his family, and I secretly believe that the illness that keeps him out of the Battle of Shrewsbury is an abandonment of his son and brother. He knows they will lose. Historically, Northumberland would go on to launch another rebellion in 1408 and end up with his head on a spike.
My third character , poor drunk Bardolph is one of the tavern clowns who 'assist' Falstaff and drink with him and Prince Hal. Again, my information came from what other characters say about him. His major characteristic is that "his face is all bubukles, and whelks, and knobs, and flames o' fire: and his lips blows at his nose, and it is like a coal of fire, sometimes blue and sometimes red; but his nose is executed and his fire's out. " (Fluellen: Henry V: III, iv) In a pivotal exchange for Bardolph, Prince Hal comments that the redness of his face "portends…if rightly taken, halter" (Henry IV, Part 1: II, iv). Here Hal sees the future (as he does in this scene with Falstaff) and hints that one day, Bardolph will be punished for his thieving and drunkenness. Indeed this occurs when, as King Henry V, Hal will watch Bardolph hung. I love giving poor Bardolph a bit of a 'somebody just walked over my grave' feeling here. Poor Bardolph is easily offended and tries very hard to believe that he's a tough guy.
Finally I was extremely lucky to be cast as the wizard warrior Owen Glendower. Glendower, like his ally Northumberland, is often spoken about in the play although he only appears in one scene. The historical Glendower — or Owain Glynd?r or Owain Glyn D?r (c.1349 or 1359 – c.1416) — is seen as the Welsh King Arthur and was the last native Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales. In the late 19th century the Welsh nationalistic movement Cymru Fydd recreated him as the father of Welsh nationalism. In 2000, celebrations were held all over Wales to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Glynd?r uprising (our rebellion). He has since been voted in at 23rd in a poll of 100 Greatest Britons (a BBC produced program) in 2002. (wikipedia) As an actor, I felt playing Glendower was a huge responsibility. Along with the challenge of speaking Welsh (something director Scott Lange and fellow actor Lindsey Hansen and I continue to attempt to do – especially me, I'm sad to report) playing such a mythical creature is a huge deal. But, despite the hugeness of Glendower I have to make him human as well, so to do this I make him believe that he is a wizard and that he 'thrice…sent him (Henry IV) Bootless home and weather-beaten back." (Henry IV, Part 1: III,i). He can control the weather, the "earth did tremble" at his birth, he is a great magician. It's this very Confidence (with a large C) that drives him to believe that the rebels won't need him and his troops for two weeks. Of course, this lack of troops (Glendower's and Northumberland's) is the nail in the rebel's coffin.
The above is a very general summary of how I approached each character, and many further specifications have to be made to make the moments they are on stage spontaneous and real. These come from Shakespeare's words, my true inspiration.

Ask anyone at all if they've heard of Ibanez, and you'll most likely get a 'yes'—even if it's not a guitarist or even a musician that you're asking. It takes a lot for an instrument maker to become as well-known outside the music community as it is inside, and Ibanez is one of the elite luthiers that has managed to do just that. How have they done it? Simple: by making instruments so sought-after that they can be found nearly everywhere. Originally founded in 1957, Ibanez is one of the original manufacturers from the formative decades of the electric guitar as we know it today. Ibanez was one of the first Japanese companies to break through to the international music industry as well as, even more impressively, the very first brand to mass-produce seven and eight-string guitars. That makes extended-range guitars an important part of the Ibanez legacy alongside their many classic 6-string models.
Some of the most renowned Ibanez instruments include hollow body guitars like Pat Metheny's signature model, and distinctive solid body axes such as the Iceman and Fireman series. You'll also find a wide assortment of basses, including 5 and 6-string models that join the 7 and 8-string guitars in the extended-range Ibanez family. There are plenty of acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars and basses to choose from as well, not to mention mandolins, banjos and ukuleles. Ibanez has a prolific catalog that spans the whole guitar family, offering something for anybody who loves to work the strings.

Livermore Rules Again At The San Francisco Chronicle Competition
Congratulations to the guys named "Steve" at 3 Steves Winery for winning Best Red of Show at the 2014 San Francisco Chronicle competition for their 2011 Cienega Zinfandel! Wow, that's the second Best of Show in the last three years for a Livermore wine. Two years ago, it was McGrail sweeping it for their Livermore Valley Cabernet.
Steve Burman of 3 Steves says they found out about the honor in a rather unusual way: "Amazing how we found out. Collin (Cranor) from Nottingham Cellars showed up with a bottle of champagne and plops it on the bar. Says it's time to celebrate our award and tells us what we won. What a great guy. Humble and killer good wines. Doesn't even tell us he won three golds and a silver medal himself for the four wines he entered! Big potential for our region I think. Proud to be a part of this community."
Incidentally, the 3 Steves also scored Silvers for their 2012 Livermore Valley Chardonnay and their 2011 Cabernet Franc, which also made it to the finals at the Cabernet Challenge, where they scored a Gold medal for this winsome wine.
Here are additional SF Chronicle results for Livermore wineries:
Concannon won Best of Class for their excellent 2012 Assemblage Blanc, a tongue teasing tango of Semillon and Chardonnay, which is probably my favorite white wine of 2013.
Occasio Winery won Best of Class for their elegant Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in the $40 – $49.99 category, while Murietta's Well captured Best of Class for their 2011 Los Tesoros Petit Verdot.
Nice to see Livermore capturing BoC for two varietals that do exceedingly well here. Hooray!!
Bent Creek Wines put on a solid show with a Gold for their 2011 Livermore Valley Syrah, and Silvers for their 2011 Zin, Petite Sirah, Cab and Cab Franc, all from the Livermore Valley. They also picked up a Bronze for their chard and Port.
New wine brand, Caddis, won Double Gold for their 2011 Livermore Valley Tempranillo, a Gold for their 2010 Livermore Valley Syrah and Bronze for their "Better Together" Livermore blend. A FANTASTIC sophomore effort!
Charles R Vineyards scored Silvers for the 2008 Livermore Valley Syrah, the 2009 Livermore Valley Petite Sirah, and the 2008 Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Concannon Vineyard scored Double Gold for the 2010 Reserve Petite Sirah, followed by Silvers for the 2011 Conservancy Cab Sauv, the 2010 Reserve Captain Joe's Petite Sirah, the 2010 Reserve Nina's Cuvee Petite Sirah, the 2009 Reserve Polo Field Petite Sirah, the 2010 Mother Vine Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Conservancy Chardonnay, and Bronze for the 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2011 Reserve Stampmaker's Red . All wines were from the Livermore Valley. Well done, Julian Halasz!
It was all Silver and Bronze for Larry Dino's all Livermore Valley wines at Cuda Ridge this year. Honored with Silver were the 2011 Petit Verdot, the 2010 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 Livermore Valley Cabernet, and Bronze for the 2011 Cabernet Franc and 2011 Merlot.
Darcie Kent Vineyards came out of the gate with a Gold for the 2011 Monterey appellation Riva Blackjack vineyard Gruner Veltliner and Silvers for the 2012 Demayo Vineyard Chardonnay, the 2011 Pinot Noir from Monterey, and the 2010 Livermore Valley Crown Block Red Wine.
Fenestra Winery will have many more medals to pin to its already crowded walls, with Golds going to both the 2008 Livermore Valley Thatcher Bay Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2010 Livermore Valley Estate Grenache. It was a flood of Silver for these wines: 2010 Ghielmetti Vineyard Petite Sirah, 2009 Livermore Valley Estate Syrah, 2010 Lodi Silvaspoons Vineyard Tourvannillo, 2010 Livermore Valley Estate "Infrared" blend, the 2008 Livermore Valley Thatcher Bay Vineyard Merlo, the 2011 Lodi Silvaspoons Vineyard Malbec, 2011 Lodi Graciano, and 2009 Livermore Valley Estate Mourvedre. And many Bronzes, too.
Harris Tesla scored Silver for the 2009 Livermore Valley Harris Tesla Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bronze for the 2006, which is really tasting great right now with some bottle age, so they must be after fruitier Cabs at the Chron these days. Seriously, for $24 a bottle, these are some of Livermore's best values for really well made 100% Cabernets.
Unsurprisingly, La Rochelle Winery scored a Double Gold for their phenomenal 2012 Russian River Valley Saralee's Vineyard Pinot Meunier. Get some before it's all gone.
Former winemaker, Charlie Kidd's efforts paid off big time for Las Positas Vineyards with Gold for the 2011 Livermore Valley Estate Syrah, and Silvers for the 2010 Meritage and 2011 Estate Petite Sirah. We know current winemaker, Brent Amos, will rock it next year with the 2012's he finished off and the 2013's he's about to bottle.
Longevity Wines posted some solid Silvers with the 2010 California Phil-osophy and the 2010 Lodi Petite Sirah, plus a rafter of Bronze winners as well.
McGrail Vineyards & Winery scored Gold for the lovely 2012 Livermore Valley Chardonnay, and Silvers for both the 2009 Livermore Valley Merlot and the 2010 James Vincent Cabernet Sauvignon.
Murrieta's Well, in addition to the BoC for the 2011 Petit Verdot, brought home Gold for the 2012 Whip, and Silvers for the 2011 Livermore Valley Los Tesoros Touriga Nacional, the 2011 Spur, and the 2012 Los Tesoros Semillon Chardonnay blend. The latter is something more wineries need to explore. The marriage in Livermore of these two white grapes is magic.
No doubt about it, Collin Cranor of Nottingham Cellars is one of Livermore's hottest young winemakers, and there's no sign of him letting up anytime soon. He scored a whopping three out of four Golds, with the following brilliant wines getting the Golden nod: 2012 Livermore Valley Fraser Howard Chardonnay, 2010 Livermore Valley Supremacy Bordeaux Blend and 2012 Livermore Valley Marina Ranch Grenache, followed by a Silver for the 2010 Livermore Valley Casa de Vinas & Ghielmetti Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Smart entries!
In addition to Occasio Winery's Best of Class for their 2011 Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, significant for the fact that the $40.00 pricepoint is the sweetspot for premium Cabs, their Double Gold for the awesome Telos blend speaks volumes, not just for the brilliance of the wine, but for the ability of a well-crafted blend to find common ground among a disparate group of critics. If you haven't tried it, you owe it to yourself. The 2011 Livermore Valley Del Arroyo Vineyard Petite Sirah also took Gold, and three more Silver medals went to the 2012 Livermore Valley Del Arroyo Vineyard Chardonnay, the 2011 Livermore Valley Telos and the 2011 Livermore Valley Thatcher Bay Vineyard Merlot. Nicely done!
Page Mill Winery won a well-deserved Gold for the 2010 Livermore Valley GPS, a blend of Grenache and Petite Sirah, plus a Silver for the 2012 Livermore Valley Chandler Vineyard Chardonnay, and Bronzes for the 2010 Livermore Valley Estate Vineyard Petite Sirah and the 2013 Livermore Valley Ghielmetti Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc.
The Steven Kent Winery also raked in a solid Gold for their lovely 2010 Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and a Silver for their 2010 Home Ranch Cabernet. Well done.
Stony Ridge Winery scored Silvers for both its 2010 Livermore Valley Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.
The venerable Thomas Coyne label, which recently moved from their longtime digs on Vallecitos Road to their present location on Research Drive, in fact was four for four at the Competition, bringing home a Double Gold for their 2009 Petite Sirah from El Dorado, and Silver medals for the 2011 Quest Rhone Blend, 2009 Grenache and 2010 Quest Reserve. Congratulations to Tom and Emilie.
Wente's stalwart winemaking team scored Gold for the truly delicious 2012 Arroyo Seco-Monterey Riverbank Riesling, followed by a sleigh filled with Silvers for these efforts: 2011 Livermore Valley Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012 Livermore Valley Morning Fog Chardonnay (Safeway's number one selling Chardonnay in Northern California), 2011 Livermore Valley The Nth Degree Merlot, 2012 Livermore Valley The Nth Degree Chardonnay, 2012 Livermore Valley Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc (a killer SB at $15.00), 2011 Livermore Valley Sandstone Merlot and a Bronze for the 2011 Livermore Valley Southern Hills Cabernet Sauvignon.
Rhonda Wood posted another great result from one of her signature Zins, this time a Double Gold for her 2011 Livermore Valley "Big Wood" Zinfandel, rounded out by a Bronze for the 2008 Livermore Valley Merlot, as well as for the 2012 Livermore Valley "Para Mas Amigas" Chardonnay.
Congratulations to all the winners! I didn't list all the Bronze medalists, of which there were quite a few, so please accept congrats even if your name wasn't listed here. There's no doubt about it, Livermore is a hot property right now.

When we asked in our poll, How Do You Yogurt, 60% of you responded that Greek yogurt was your thing. I'm more of a low-fat, low-sugar type of girl, but when I saw
Dannon Activia Selects Non Fat Strawberry Greek Yogurt, I decided to try it.
I loved the texture, which is very thick & creamy as it says on the packaging. It's also rampant with bits of strawberries - it felt like there was some in every bite so I wasn't surprised to see that it's 3rd ingredient. What I also wasn't surprised to see is that sugar is the 4th ingredient, because this is suh-weet - not so sweet that you can't eat it, but it made me curious to see how much sugar is in each serving. Turns out there are 29 grams - which is quite a lot for a 6 ounce serving size - much more sugar in this than in Dannon Strawberry Greek Yogurt (Review), which has 16 grams per 5.3 ounce serving (or 18 grams in 6 ounces).
Each 6 ounce serving of Dannon Activia Selects Non Fat Strawberry Greek Yogurt provides 190 calories, no fat or fiber, 29 grams of sugars as previously mentioned, and 12 grams of protein.
The ingredients in Dannon Activia Selects Non Fat Strawberry Greek Yogurt are cultured grade A non-fat milk, water, strawberries, sugar, fructose, milk protein concentrate; less than 1% of maltodextrin, modified corn starch, modified food starch, natural flavors, carrageenan, carmine and black carrot juice concentrate (for color), sodium citrate, potassium sorbate (to maintain freshness), malic acid, vitamin D3.
There are quite a few strawberry Greek yogurts with less calories and sugars than this, including Oikos Organic Strawberry Greek Yogurt (Review), Chobani 2% All Natural Strawberry Banana Greek Yogurt (Review) and Brown Cow Strawberry on the Bottom All Natural 0% Fat Greek Yogurt (Review).
I paid $1.00 for a 6 ounce container of Dannon Activia Selects Non Fat Strawberry Greek Yogurt, and although it's tasty, I wouldn't buy this again given all the other lower caloric and less sugar options.

The cereal aisle is my favorite place in the whole entire grocery store and I like to think of myself as a cereal connoisseur. Therefore, when I spotted Kashi Island Vanilla Cereal on the shelves, I knew a review was in store. Kashi says, "Island Vanilla cereal marries the smooth taste of real vanilla with pure wheat biscuits for a calming flavor oasis. So relax, pour a bowl, and unwind."
Each bite is lightly compacted into a woven whole wheat biscuit and sweetened with a touch of organic evaporated cane juice, evaporated cane juice syrup, vanilla bean and vanilla extract. The sweetness and vanilla essence of each bite is very faint and I am not sure if I can taste the 9 grams of sugar that are packed into each serving. Adding a splash of milk brings out the natural sweetness a bit more, but overall, it's still pretty faint.
Because of the lightly woven nature of Kashi's concoction, the cereal gets soggy pretty quickly. However, to me, the softness of the cereal is preferred when compared to the strands of loose and wheat-y nuggets that are encountered straight from the box. I am a huge fan of Kashi products, however, Kashi Island Vanilla Cereal let me down.
Each serving of 27 good sized Kashi Island Vanilla Cereal (Organic) Biscuits provides 190 calories, 1 gram of total fat, 6 grams of fiber (23% of the daily value), 9 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein. The ingredients list is relatively short and includes Organic Whole Grain Wheat, organic evaporated cane juice (and syrup), organic vanilla bean, organic vanilla extract, organic corn starch and natural flavors.
Since I wasn't really a fan of the taste, never again will I shell out $4.00 for Kashi Island Vanilla Cereal (no matter how intriguing the name may be) ... Well, actually, if there is a major sale, I might purchase this again because and try to dress it up (maybe with a drizzle of peanut butter, a scoop of Breyers Free Ice Cream, etc.).

Update on Violet
In my Dec. 30 column, I told you about tiny Violet Sheppard, who with her twin brother, Cameron, was born 14 weeks premature at Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. On Jan. 3, Violet was given the green light to head home. Betsy and Dennis Sheppard took their baby girl to her Orland Park bedroom for the first time. The celebration was bittersweet, however. The Sheppards also learned that Cameron now needs hernia surgery, delaying his homecoming for at least a few more weeks.

Updated: February 7, 2013 6:16AM
Many readers likely never have heard of Niger, a large, arid, landlocked country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
And with good reason. What relevance does a Third World nation halfway around the globe have to people living here in the Southland?
Lots, John Shattuck will tell you.
To begin with, Niger is important because it is a desperately poor country that recently discovered oil. It also has given refuge to Moammar Gadhafi's son, whom Libya wants back. And it is experiencing an influx in refugees, most of them from warring African nations, including Mali and Chad, thus stressing its already tapped resources.
But the main reason Shattuck, a Frankfort businessman and humanitarian, wants people here to connect with people there is because they need each other, he says.
The people of Niger need compassion and living supplies; the people here need the satisfaction that comes from giving to those who have less.
"They're desperate for America to take notice," Shattuck said, while packing last week for the long, complicated journey to Niamey, Niger.
For more than a decade, Shattuck has helped collect goods and ship them to poor nations in Central America and the Caribbean.
He was the subject of a series this newspaper ran in February on Haiti and the connection many Southlanders have to that impoverished nation. Shattuck was the catalyst for getting people from Orland Park, Frankfort, Chicago Heights and Tinley Park involved in helping the poor survivors of a devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010.
He has motivated legions of Southland residents to donate clothes, shoes, books and bicycles. He's asked companies and hospitals to contribute X-ray machines, hospital beds and surplus medications. He's stopped by schools that had been closed to collect old desks and chairs. All of the items are shipped to poor areas, all are repurposed and given new life.
Along the way, Shattuck has persuaded hundreds of local residents — from teachers to housewives to business owners — to volunteer time and talent in his mission to level the international living field.
Now he has a new campaign, or will, once he returns from Niamey, where he is meeting with President Mahamadou Issoufou and his right-hand man, Moutari Kalla.
While there, he will assess the people's needs, consider shipping routes and visit refugee camps.
For the past three years, officials in Niger have been asking Shattuck to work his magic on their country.
Shattuck's oldest son, Joe, attended a prep high school in New York. His roommate was Oudou Kalla, Moutari Kalla's oldest son. Today, both young men are in college and are best friends.
Meanwhile, Shattuck's younger son, Trey, is a student at the Gow prep school. He has made friends with some of Oudou's brothers.
Shattuck has spoken at his sons' school about the kind of work he does for Third World countries. He told the students how sometimes his efforts benefit the nonprofit Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos and how sometimes he gets help in the form of medical aid and funding for the shipment of containers from Children of Abraham, a Munster, Ind.-based organization that sends donated hospital equipment and medical supplies to the needy around the world.
"Oudou was very much affected by those talks," Shattuck said. He told his father about the work, and before Shattuck knew it, he was getting emails from Niger.
Even before he left Wednesday for Niger, Shattuck was collecting materials to be shipped there later. The majority of the medical supplies he has amassed has come from Chicago-area hospitals, including Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Palos Community in Palos Heights and Little Company of Mary in Evergreen Park. Other donors include Lurie Children's Hospital and the University of Chicago Medical Center.
"We will do whatever we can do to help the people of Niger," he said.
Not just because Niger is a very poor nation with few, if any, of the resources that First World countries have, but because Niger matters in the grand scheme of things, he said.
"This is a struggling nation," he said. Outside forces, including al-Qaida, would love to take advantage of this and establish a foothold there.
"By helping the people of Niger take care of themselves, we are strengthening that nation," Shattuck said. "And when we strengthen other nations that are friendly to the U.S., we strengthen the U.S.
"Everyone should care."

Muntz's victory won the poll with well over 100 votes from the fans on atticaracewaypark.com and collectied nearly 50% of the total votes.Back on Attica Raceway Park's Season Championship Night, Muntz would drive to the top of the track to take the lead with Jake Trevino, Bobby Clark, Dan Hammond and Nate Dussel in tow. Clark would quickly grab second place and race right onto Muntz' rear bumper. Muntz had to hit his marks perfectly over the course of the 25-lap event with Clark right on his tail. In the end, Fremont, Ohio's Josh Muntz would lead every lap and earn his first career Attica victory in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. Over the off-season atticaracewaypark.com will be conducting several polls to help determine what was the greatest moment of the 2010 season at Attica Raceway Park.Each poll will feature five events that stuck out in the minds of the Attica Raceway Park staff from the past season for one particular division. The fine fans of "Ohio's Finest Racing" speed plant will then have a month to vote (you can only vote once per day) and help determine what was the most exciting event for that division. Once each division has a winner we will post them all together and let the fans ultimately decide what was the greatest moment of 2010 at Attica Raceway Park.OCTOBER: 410 Sprint CarsWinner: Mark Keegan picking up his 56th win at Attica Raceway Park the same week of his 52nd birthday (June 11th)NOVEMBER: DIRTcar Late Models Winner: Rick Eckert raced through the B-Main, an early race accident in the feature that caused the radiator to be replaced during a red flag and climbed back from the tail of the field to picked up the World of Outlaws Late Models Series win (July 30th)DECEMBER: 305 Sprint CarsWinner: Josh Muntz picking up his first career feature win at Attica Raceway Park on Season Championship Night after leading every lap (August 28th)JANUARY: Dirt TrucksFEBRUARY: Final poll with all 4 divisional winners going head-to-head

The New School's innovative MA TESOL prepares educators for global careers as ESL teachers and course developers. U.S. New & World Report listed it among the top online graduate programs in education in the 2013 edition of "Best Colleges."
Our MA TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program, developed by a team of experts, is training tomorrow's leaders in this growing and evolving field. Theoretical study is always connected to practical applications in your area of specialization. The faculty includes renowned ESOL professionals such as Jeremy Harmer and ELTon award winner Scott Thornbury.
There are two professional training concentrations: Teaching and Curriculum Development.
The New School MA TESOL can be completed entirely online and is open to qualified students anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. The program also can be completed through a combination of online courses and courses offered on campus at The New School.
Students in the Teaching concentration can expedite their progress toward the degree by taking up to four courses in an intensive summer teaching residency offered every year in New York City.
English is the language of global communications, and demand for TESOL professionals is greater than ever before. Our graduates work for universities and other public and private schools,* international corporations, governments, and NGOs, and in private practice in the United States and abroad. They teach English to people of all ages and conditions of life, administering ESOL program, creating new programs, and developing new teaching methods.
Our MA TESOL faculty and students represent many countries. Many students already teach English professionally or as volunteers. Others come from careers in business, law, the armed forces, social work, and nonprofit management. These are people who understand the importance of effective communication in all walks of life. All are highly motivated to enter or advance in a field that allows them to work across borders and cultures to help others.
The New School places major emphasis on the political, cultural, and ethical implications of English language teaching in an era of intense globalization, when English has become the international language of finance, commerce, diplomacy, science, technology, and communication media.
Whether you are just entering the profession or are already working in TESOL, you can apply MA studies to your professional development by working on a challenging guided project or completing a teaching practicum. Either option will enhance your résumé.
The MA TESOL program regularly presents public lectures and other events that bring noted experts, researchers, writers, and practitioners to The New School. Our public programs create a forum in which ESOL professionals can connect, share ideas, and collaborate. Use the Events calendar to find links to upcoming and archived public programs.
*The MA TESOL degree does not by itself certify an individual to teach in public or proprietary schools in New York State. You can speak to a program advisor about the state teaching certification process.
The New School has been regionally accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education since 1960. For more information, visit Accreditation and State Regulatory Authorizations.

Murray swats Sousa aside
« on: January 17, 2013, 04:28 AM »
Andy Murray moved into the third round of the Australian Open with a comfortable 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory against the world number 100 João Sousa in the blistering heat of the day.
It was a ruthless display of pure dominance from the third seed, who didn't face a single break point all match. The Scot served brilliantly throughout, firing down 14 aces and hammering 28 winners past his hapless Portuguese opponent.
If there were any thoughts of an upset before the match they were put to bed right from the off; Murray pummelling forehands to the baseline, forcing the break in the third game. The Portuguese player looked to hit straight back but the US Open champ diverted the danger with a stunning backhand pass, before pouncing again with a love break to forge a 4-1 lead.
The Brit had his foot flat on the pedal and he stormed to the first set after just half an hour on court with some heavy hitting and dominant serving.

And Murray would not relent. After the third seed broke in the opening game of the second set Sousa's racquet took a beating, as the Portuguese man glanced towards his box with a look of bewilderment. The Scot raced into a 4-0 lead before Sousa finally got on the board, but it proved to be just a minor blip for Murray as he surged two sets ahead with a powerful forehand winner.
The third set proved to be more of a contest, but a break in the opening game was all that was required. Sousa's form had improved noticeably but any hopes of breaking back were instantly quashed by the serving from the third seed, who was barely breaking a sweat in the 37 degree heat. And as the match crawled past the 100 minute mark, one last error from the Portuguese man would seal Murray's place in round three, for the loss of just eight games.
In the third round Murray will face 22 year old Ricardas Berankis. The Lithuanian is ranked down at 110 in the world after originally breaking the top 100 back in 2010, but he is not to be taken lightly after his 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 thrashing of the German 25th seed Florian Mayer in the last round.

In his post-match on-court interview, Andy said he's practiced with Berankis, so I am sure he'll be prepared.

Excellent report Luke.
I must admit I felt a bit sorry for Sousa, and his frustration showed at times, because it wasn't so much that he played badly, just that he was completely outclassed by a very in-form Murray, something which was great to see and gave encouragement for (hopefully) greater things to come.

Great report, enjoyed the match, thought Andy was clinical and got out of the heat as quickly as he could. Hope we have a bit of fairness and see him back in the Rod Laver and an evening match and that Fed get's a hot match around 2pm!!!

I think one of the commentators said that the weather is going to change. It will cool down and so there will not be the chance of sending out Fed into the scorching sun.

The temperature in Melbourne when Fed was playing was just under 40C. Here in Australia his next game against Tomic is attracting massive media attention, lets all hope that Tomic can live up to expectations!

enjoyed the report Luke - thanks. Woke up to hear Andy serving for match on five live. Have recorded it and have half been watching replay this afternoon while doing some work.
From his bbc interview, sounds like Andy avoided the worst of the heat by getting job done so efficiently.
On replay have seen a couple of shots of Andy's boys - looks like you've all beefed up too this year! And looking very smart, each in your different coloured shorts. You've become quite a feature for the media in their coverage of Andy's AO matches.

Great way to turn a frown upside down
By WVTT
from Harpers Ferry, WV
See all my reviews
As all my previous purchases from WCGB, this, too, was outstanding. Was delivered to me on date requested for my presentation to a little 9-year-old who was fretting because their trip to Disneyland had to be postponed for a month. When he opened this package of Muppet cookies, the look on his face was priceless!!! And his clever mother has set up a timely "ration" schedule so that he is now anticipating the delayed trip with even more enthusiasm. Definitely a win-win gift! THANKS AGAIN, WINE COUNTRY, for providing a quality product!
Bright colors a hit
By none
from south dakota
My nephew is color-blind, but his 3 year-old pointed out these cookies were so cute he should just eat them, anyway, and then proceeded to tell him the colors.The gift was on time and in great condition, and my 29 year old nephew appreciated the 'Muppet Memories'
Great gift!
By MarSal
from Farmington, NY
I ordered this as a birthday gift for my daughter who is a huge Muppets fan. She absolutely loved them. Even though her birthday was a week ago, she still has not opened the cookies. I'm sure they will be opened very soon. I would recommend this as a gift for anyone who loves the Muppets.

Transportation in São Paulo
Walking is the best way to explore the historical sights of the city centre, as well as the extensive woods, parkland and art museums in Ibirapuera Park.
After dark or outside the limited underground network, the only really practical way to get around São Paulo is by taxi. Hail one in the street or ask the hotel or restaurant to call one. There are always plenty around and the price is reasonable but allow plenty of time in case you get stuck in the city's frequent gridlock.
São Paulo's efficient and modern underground network, or metrô, is often the quickest way to get around the central districts, though it does not cover the rest of the city. From 2014 the new 'yellow line' should be complete, adding Morumbi and Vila Sônia into the network.
Rent your car
Traffic jams are a regular occurrence in São Paulo, so there is restricted access to the inner ring road during peak times. You should be defensive when driving, particularly at night. Signs indicate where you can park on the street; you might need to buy a zona azul parking card from newsstands.
Transportation tips
Most Paulistanos travel everywhere by car, and outside the centre the city's geography is mostly car-orientated, so consider hiring a vehicle for exploring the suburbs. If you plan to frequently eat out and enjoy the nightlife in well-heeled Jardins and the surrounding neighbourhoods, it is better to stay in a hotel there, as taking taxis from the centre can eat into your time and budget.

When the rain is s falling down and I'm at home by myself, a nice warm bowl of soup makes the perfect healthy, light dinner. Normally I just heat up a canned soup, and while I'm at it, I usually toss in some extra vegetables to bulk it up and add some flavor and freshness. Still, when I'm going to work and want soup, I try to pick something that I don't really need to mess with just to enjoy. Campbell's Chunky Healthy Request Sirloin Burger Soup caught my eye for being one that sounded hearty enough all on its own for a quick dump-and-heat meal.
When I poured the soup into a bowl, a medley of meat, carrots, potatoes, and peas in a thick beef broth came out. I was surprised to see that they really meant burger - the meat is in the form of cute little 1-inch patties! Unfortunately, the entire thing together looked remarkable like wet dog food - okay, I've seen some decent-looking dog food, but still, it was a bit put-off. I heated the soup for about 3 minutes, giving it a stir halfway through cooking. The broth thinned significantly, making this soup look more like human food. I started eating, and the first thing I noticed was the vegetables. There's quite a few - this really is a chunky soup - though they're a bit on the mushy side. The beef is tender enough to cut in half with a spoon, and considering the size of the patties, you'll probably need to. The patties had a nice beefy flavor, unlike the broth, which tasted mildly of tomatoes, but not much else.
Each can of Campbell's Chunky Healthy Request Sirloin Burger Soup is 2 servings, which provides 260 calories, 4 grams of total fat, 40% of the daily value for sodium, 6 grams of fiber and 20 grams of protein.
I did find this soup to be pretty filling, though for the amount of sodium, I'd expect it to be saltier. I liked, but did not love this soup. While it is good enough to stand on its own without doctoring, there are other choices out there that are more worth the $2.19 price tag.

Chemistry classes take place in the Solomon L. Loewen Natural Science Center, Tabor's state-of-the art science facility. The Center is named for the late Tabor Biology professor Solomon L. Loewen who was instrumental in shaping the lives and careers of many of Tabor's outstanding science alumni. The Center's major feature, a spacious atrium, is named for the influential Chemistry professor Dr. William Johnson. The building also features a greenhouse, animal observation and a large lecture hall.

Jane wasn't sure, but she thought the house looked like her dad's house.
"Her dad (John Hardwick) was born in this house," Rufus explained.
They came to Cleveland from Atlanta to look at the house, along with a Realtor, in February 2012. Independent of each other, they walked through the house and met up again at the foot of the stairway in the main hall.
"We kind of looked at each other and said, this is it — here we are!" he said.
They both liked many of the same physical features about the house, but there were other tangible and intangible aspects that attracted them as well.
One intangible the house offered was some place to retire that had community, versus going to a mountain or a lake.
"That was our idea, to get out of Atlanta into a place where we could have community," Jane said.
"And Cleveland fits the bill," Rufus said.
The intangible for Rufus was the history, but for Jane, the history and familial connection to the house was more tangible. It was something almost palpable she was afraid would be lost.
"We were afraid this house was going to be torn down," she said. "I had never been in it but my dad used to walk me by this house and say what a gorgeous house it was and that he was going to get me in it someday."
He died before that happened, but the house she was raised in mirrored the house on North Ocoee Street. "I knew in some ways, my dad was trying to recreate it." The red brick house at the end of Centenary Avenue where Jane lived didn't look at all like the house on Ocoee Street from the outside, "but inside, it's a similar type of layout."
According to an article by John H. Hardwick published June 15, 1980 in the Cleveland Daily Banner, architect and builder Pleasant M. Craigmiles constructed the house on Ocoee Street in 1852. The story noted it was built using the usual combination at that time of black and white labor. The house was built for Thomas H. Callaway, who was president of Southern Railroad. Callaway lived there only a short while until, according to family legend, Fate Hardwick bought the house for $3,000. His family and its descendants lived there for more than 100 years and it became known as the Fate Hardwick house.
The article describes the house off by itself, away from downtown Cleveland. But, within a short time, an academy was built diagonally across Ocoee Street from the residence. In 1980, the academy was the Houston Apartments. The nearby Presbyterian Church was built several years after the house.
Fate died in 1901. His widow died in 1915 in Dalton, Ga., while visiting relatives. The house became the property of her oldest grandson, George L. Hardwick Jr. After his death in 1947, the house became a burden to his widow and she sold it in the 1950s.
"While her (Jane's) dad was away in World War II, his dad passed away. The house was sold and it got away from the family," Rufus said.
Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hanger Jr. owned the house in 1980, according to the newspaper article.
"Roger Hanger, who came here with American Uniform, bought the house in the early '50s," Rufus said. "He owned it for 60 years, until last year when we bought it and brought it back into the Hardwick-Triplett family."
Only Hardwicks and Hangers have lived in the 161-year-old house.
"A lot of people in town refer to it as the Hanger house," Rufus said.
"And that's what my dad called it," Jane said. "He always called it the Hanger house although he was born in it."
Rufus is the son of a former pastor of Broad Street United Methodist Church. He lived with his parents in the parsonage at the corner of Oak and Centenary Avenue and has always enjoyed looking at the house when traveling past it.
The couple called David May Jr. after they looked at the house last February.
"We knew he had redone the house I grew up in, and we suspected he had looked at this house before because it had been on the market several years," Jane said. "He had seen it before and kind of walked us through what would have to be done." She laughed and said, "Of course, it ended up being more."
May said the Tripletts stressed in the original walk-through their desire to remain as true to the original home as possible.
"We made new doors to match the old doors and had [custom molding] knives made to run the decorative mold so it all matched," he said. "In the kitchen area, Jane commented that she felt somewhat dizzy walking in there due to the bulging brick walls."
Little by little, the bulging wall in the kitchen was pulled backed into place until it popped back in line.
"As that issue was being addressed, Jane stopped by and thought we were tearing her house down. The upper center hallway had people backing up against the wall due to the bounce in the floor. We later established this instability was due to an earlier renovation that removed a center staircase," May said. "Through the years the old home had fallen into disrepair and a huge colony of bees that had taken up residence proved to be most reluctant to leave. The bee handler removed 10 gallons of honey. The bees soon followed so I was not sure if it was the beautiful old home that was so attractive to them or their honey."
When asked if they ever felt like buying the house wasn't such a good idea, Rufus said they were already in too deep.
"We knew some stuff had to be done, but as Jane said, we didn't know to what extent it would have to be done," he said.
"When you first fall in love with a house, you don't see all of the paint peeling, eaves rotting, roof tiles missing and that kind of stuff. Then we signed the papers and came back over — that's when I kind of lost it," she said.
But, Rufus assured her over and over again that it was going to be OK.
"The house needed love," he said.
According to the newspaper article, the Fate Hardwick house is on the east side of Ocoee Street, a block north of downtown Cleveland. Many years ago, architect Blanculli of Chattanooga told its owner, the late George L. Hardwick Jr., that it is an excellent example of Georgian architecture.
Italian Andrea Palladio started that style of architecture in the 1500s. Some buildings along the canals of Venice are of the same type. English architect Inigo Jones took the style to the British Isles in the 1600s.
The Georgian style has been much used in English manor houses and in most government buildings in Williamsburg, Va. In Georgian architecture, ceilings are quite high — in the Fate Hardwick house, 12 feet high ceilings kept the house cool in summer. In winter, people wore heavy clothing to keep warm, the story continued.
The article explained front porches are usually small, at most perhaps two-thirds the width of the house. On the front brickwork of the house can be seen the outline of such a porch. Window frames usually are large, with much woodwork on all four sides. Georgian architecture does not have the large columns seen on many Southern homes. Sometimes brick formations at corners of houses give an appearance of built-in posts, according to the 1980 news story.
It stated that early architects said Georgian houses were more for show than for comfort. The house had about 22 rooms, the total being dependent on the definition of room. The house had a well and a cistern; both visible but now filled in by 1980. It also had a great amount of inside woodwork.
When the house was built, it had three chimneys, each having two outlets in the rooms. In 1940 the coal furnace controls operated incorrectly and caused a major fire. The fans blew flames throughout the house. The dining room was just above the furnace. The floor and contents fell through to the furnace. All silverware was melted but the china remained undamaged by the heat. All downstairs floors had to be replaced. One life-size portrait was destroyed. Another was scorched but was repaired by a painter. It is now in a home on Lookout Mountain. Following the fire, the basement was much enlarged, according to the story.

Chromium (793)
Chromium is a mineral our bodies use in small amounts for normal body functions, such as digesting food. Chromium exists in many natural foods including brewer's yeast, meats, potatoes (especially the skins), cheeses, molasses, spices, whole-grain breads and cereals, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Drinking hard tap water supplies chromium to the body, and cooking in stainless-steel cookware increases the chromium content in foods.

Asa needs to stop putting things down on the bus! And I really liked your comments about wanting to be a hero but not able to contemplate being a person, Tenshi. Very profound.
Today I put up my Christmas tree. Lights and star are up, but no other decorations yet. I don't know how many I'll be putting on it this year... or rather, which ones I'll put up out of Charlie's reach.
That tree may just end up only having the top 2 feet decorated.

@The Lady: Since I ran out of medication, I've had about a dozen people tell me that I've been saying deeply, amazingly profound things. I think it comes from the
my mind works. It tends to be rather morose, but deeply concentrated on thinking about life in all it's capacity. From grocery shopping to world health, from subconscious tasks to heroic altruism. Ah, well.
Today I saw the movie adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I have to say, that's a brilliant, brilliant movie. "Cheeky mice".. hehe.
"That's a good answer."
I think Mr. Adams had it in one, really. The question we all have is "What is the answer to life?", isn't it? Don't we go through life with just that goal, to find the one true answer to all things? I would profess that most of my own life has been searching for this "deep meaning", and that I spend no small amount of time on that goal. At least, I did until several years ago, when I realized I was simply asking the wrong question.
For the longest time, I thought that the meaning of life was truly the question. Like almost anyone who seeks that question out, the problem becomes a matter of satisfaction. After all, if the meaning of life were say "really good tea", would anyone accept that? It would be considered a farce, comedy. Instead of readily believing that this was the answer, we would discard it in search of something. So what makes a "good answer" then?
If I had to quantify this unknown answer, I would do so with the following qualities.
Quality #1: It would have to have a moment of profound meaning. That is to say, when I heard this answer I should have no doubt in my mind that this was, in fact, the answer I had sought. It should shake me to my core, and hold me tight under the cold shower of realization. I should feel simultaneously afraid and enlightened, empowered and belittled by this answer.
Quality #2: It should have no properties of doubt about it. That is to say, there should be no viable counter argument which held water in any substantial way other than a person's own belief. If logic or reason could not be brought to bear on this answer's validity, then only ignorance could defeat it. Ignorance, of course, is not a valid measure of a question's greatness. Or at least, it shouldn't be.
Quality #3: The answer should be one that, in translation to other languages or cultures, loses none of it's power.
So I set about trying to find an answer with all of these qualities. At first I thought that it was something I had as a deep internal drive as a young man. To gain dominion, or control. Not necessarily over others, but over myself. To be a master of my own castle, as it were, and to be strong where no others could be.
The problem with this line of thinking is that, to build up such a level of internal strength one must make sacrifices. These sacrifices tend to be the same walls built for strength. They make excellent walls, so excellent in fact that they keep other people outside of them just as much as they keep you tall within them. This was not my answer, for even as strong as it made me, it make me lonely and sorrowful.
Next I imagined that this answer must have something to do with companionship. Perhaps the measure of a man's success in life was truly by the wealth of his friends. But then, what should you consider wealth? Would it be in the number, or in the quality of these friends? Should a man with a hundred people he knows vaguely be richer or poorer than a man with a half dozen intimately close friends? Obviously this one did not work, for the difficulty in comparison.
Then I thought, well it must have to do with altruism. The answer to enlightenment, that must have something to do with giving of yourself to others. Just look in history at all the people we consider great, all of them were altruists to some degree. Even today there's such an appreciation (even if grudging) for charitable souls, surely this has to be the answer to life. The "meaning" behind it all.
It just didn't work out that way. Were we all to be charitable, then we would find ourselves living in a constant state of ownershiplessness (if that word makes any sense). Nothing would be anybody's, and if we all possessed absolutely nothing, then there would be nothing to give. The concept of altruism breaks down on the grand scale, to the point where really only a small percentage of people can be charitable without the entire system grinding to a rather fortunate (for a time) halt.
So what did that leave? If it's not greed, if it's not charity, if it's not kindness or love, what could it be? Was the meaning of life really, truly and simply, to reproduce and die? It seemed so void of meaning or life, so trivial. Were that the case, then all of human existence meant... well, nothing!
I thought further on this matter, letting it dwell in the back of my mind as I went through life. I gained and lost friends, I gained and lost strength and power. I was charitable, and had charity given to me. Though all of this gave to the rise and fall of my state, I could never say that any one thing was "it".
Then it became clear, as clear as anything ever had been in life and then ten times more. The answer to the ultimate question, the answer to "Why are we here?" and "What is life's purpose?" was really quite simple after all. Happiness. And however one finds that, thought I do have a few suggestions to that effect.
For me it was love. I only ever felt this maybe twice in my life, and was truly blessed with them both. Love is not given a proper description in this social age, I fear. When we say "I love you", do we do it with an empty meaning? To the answer I had found, love was a much deeper thing. Love was a series of fundamental, core components.
There was trust, a trust so deep and complete that there would be no doubt within it. Were this person I loved to tell me that the moon were made of cheese, then I would honestly consider this as fact. I would seek to find out why, and how, it were made of cheese. I would not simply assume they were foolish, I would believe they had good reason to believe so.
There was honesty. Absolutely, among no circumstances, did I feel I needed to not be myself. In all that I was, in every flaw and weakness, I felt them strengthen me. Where I was weak, and desired no more than to lay my head on their knees and simply to rest, that was exactly the sort of compassion they would give. I could be as weak or as strong as I was, and as foolish or brilliant as I tended to be.
And in that same sense, they were my opposite and equal in identical measures. Neither afraid to tell me when I was foolish, nor too callous to set aside their troubles for me in a moment of my own weakness. I would return this, this deep and honest love for another being, as often as I were able to do so.
In that, I found the answer. The answer, simply enough to me, was
. To find that other being, that
to my soul. That was the truth behind it all, the real meaning to existence.
And perhaps to have tasted it now, and be without it, perhaps that is the greatest ache of all. I think that once you have found your happiness, so full and complete that it permeates all moments of life, that to be without it is utterly and completely... well, lonely. Without the meaningful nature of a true love, there seems so little (if any) point in the mundane daily routine of dating.
Mm... yeah, I think Douglas Adams had it right.
Today, I'm dizzy and off balance. My vision is a bit blurry, and I feel fat. I need a shave. And a haircut. Feh..
Today I feel like I'm channeling Nemerlian Philosophy.. X_X

Today I was almost late for my lecture, I blame the bus company. No, really it's their fault. The weekly tickets that they sell are £11 and some of the drivers won't make change or can't. Unfortunately, cash machines don't give change so I had to go to the shop and buy some catfood that we don't need just so I could give the bus driver a pound.
I'll stop ranting about the buses now, I doubt anyone wants to hear me go on about them but there are so many complaints I could make about public transporation in this city.
Today I am pleased to announce that my parents are cutting back on their drinking. I know alcohol is one of the 'no no' topics but I'd just like to say that I'm really happy about this and I hope they can keep it up.
Today I am doing the finishing touches of the essay due tomorrow and then I never want to think about it again.

Today I have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on with my essay feedback, 'It's not a normal prose essay' Wah? It's in verse, or metrical composition? Clearly it's not either of those.
GRERRAAGGAGHH. God, I don't know how to do this stuff! What're you meant to argue with, what're you meant to do, what do they want from you?
You don't usually write essays like this do you?
Well yes, yes I do. It's worked well enough for the last five years and throwing around empty terms as if you imbue them with some magical extra meaning from the realm of personal make believe and manage to hand this out to those listening does absolutely nothing to help.

Can't help feeling there's something I'm meant to have learned somewhere, some vital component that would make everything make sense. A way to reseat this world of dreams.
Maybe I'm just going nuts >_> You do wonder sometimes. Are other people even reading what you think you wrote, does it just appear to make sense to you; or have you actually used other terms without knowing? Are you even following logical sequences of thought any more, or have you broken down somewhere - lost the thread of living?

Today I make another today thread post.
Nem, that reminds me of one of my teachers in college, whatever I wrote he'd just say "add more depth" I didn't really understand what that meant and whatever else I added to it he'd just keep saying "add more depth."
Today I received a rejection letter but I'm actually a little happy about it because the agent suggested some changes to the manuscript. She didn't actually say to send it back to her after I've made the changes but it's a lot better than a standard rejection letter.

Well, according to my studies, civilisations didn't really start until tribes started collecting food surplus. Then that's when the trouble starts with everyone trying to get their greedy paws on the most of what's gathered. Sounds pretty much like the world today. Sigh. But if you believe in a higher power and trust that he knows what he's doing and has a plan for us, then life doesn't seem that seemingless. Oh which reminds me I have a great video for anyone that does (and those of you who don't, but don't mind watching a neatly explained video) believe in God. I'll post it in the youtube thread.
Anyway, I'm itching to put up the Christmas tree, my mom polished the floors so all that's left is to put it up now. My younger sister made a snowman last night with the meager amount of yesterday's snowfall. And it was so cute. She made it squidward-like. I like her sense of humour...most of the times.
So today, my lil brother and I made a baby snow man with the amountage of snow we had, which isn't much. Actually I made it mostly myself because he was more interested in playing with the rocks, his dump truck and his new shovel (well actually he preferred to play with his old shovel). But I had fun and one of my neighbours made cute scarves for both of them.
I can finally sing Christmas songs again, one of my favorite Christmas things to do. Did so every Christmas, so I have decent repetoire of Christmas soungs that I've memorised.

What's wrong with it, Miho?
It's freezing. Bad.
I can turn it on log in and do stuff for about 10 min tops. 15 if I'm lucky. But then it just totally freezes up. Can't even open up the task manager. Only thing I've done differently to it was I upgraded my AVG protection. That was it. And it worked fine after that. I've got tons of space on here too, so it's not like it's freezing because of that. I called Dell and talked to them about it and they informed me it was probably something like a virus or whatnot. I tried to run a scan but alas, it gets to scan about 3, 000 things and then it stays at that number and doesn't move. It seems to have frozen at that point. Dell told me they're basically flush my computer... for a $130 bucks... which at this point, I'm not willing to pay for. Ugh. I don't know what's wrong with you compy! Please. Tell me!
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*
