I walked up the staircase to the Capoeira
academy and my stomach twisted up in knots.
"Relax Lobinho"
I turned to see my teacher walking up from
behind me. He flashed me his quick smile that I had grown so used to over the
"You're going to be fine, you know these moves
like the back of your hand"
"Yeah I guess…" I said dejectedly.
I was here to take my belt test, something that
happened once every couple years. As we reached the top of the stairs, music
and a blast a sweaty, hot air hit me and I relaxed slightly. This has been my
life since I was eight and the familiar sounds and smells calmed me. Then I saw
Mestre Doutor (Master Doctor) get up and walk toward me, dark skin glowing in
the half light and I could feel his dark eyes on me from across the room.
"Oi Lobinho! Cómo vai?" (Hey Lobinho, how are
you?) He called to me, still standing in the doorway. I tensed my body up, I
knew what was going to happen next. He would try to drop me, it was something
he had done since I had started Capoeira. Sure enough as he got to me his leg
suddenly whipped behind mine throwing me off balance and his elbow came
swinging at my head. I ducked the elbow and spun out of the takedown, putting
myself at an angle to him and shot a kick at the back of his head. He
sidestepped and casually placed his foot at my center of balance and knocked me
to the ground.
I got to my feet and said " Muito bem,
obrigado" (very good, thank you) stumbling over the pronunciation as I tried to
catch my breath.
Doutor nodded, turned to my teacher and
switched to English, a strong accent coloring his words. "Is he ready Lobo
Mau?" He addressed my teacher by his Capoeira name. We all get one sooner or
later, mine is Lobinho and his Lobo Mau, little wolf and bad wolf.
"Yeah he's ready"
"Good good" Doutor said grinning down at me.
"Lets get started then."
I walked over to an open space of hard, tiled
floor and prepared my self for the test.
"Lobinho!" Doutor called over to me, he hadn't
moved from where he was. "Your test has already started, take this next class
and Ill tell you if you have passed."
stood frozen in place, I had spent months preparing for this test and he had
just changed everything.
"Ok everyone spread out" the class obediently
did as he said. "Meia lua de frente" (Half moon to the front) he called out
The Portuguese names echoed across the room,
commanding a power of their own as nearly twenty people preformed the move in
unison. After nearly two hours, he called us to the front of the room
"Form the roda (circle) Lobinho, come up front."
got up and stood next to Doutor.
"Lobinho is testing for his belt, that means he
is going to lead the Roda today."
I stared at him.
"NO!" my brain screamed this is what I had been
dreading. Leading the Roda meant I had to play the Berimbau (a Portuguese
musical bow) and sing a Ladainha (prayer song) and lead the rest of the roda
with different Chulas (songs). It was a huge responsibility everyone was dependent
on my rhythm and if I messed up, I brought everyone down with me. I sat down on
the bench that had been brought out for me and the rest of the Bataria (where
the instruments sit) and sat in its center.
Meior é deus, E meior deus pequeno sou eu."
The unfamiliar words rang out of me and I began
to play. As I continued to sing I realized my pronunciation was awful. My voice
had the squeaky tone to it that only adolescents have, lacking the strong, deep
sound that I had heard so many times before and that I had been trying to
replicate. I almost stopped right there, I felt embarrassed for revealing my
inexperience in front of everybody and I didn't want to continue. But I had to
and I was able to finish the test and get the belt.
truth, the fact that I did and still do hate to sing in front of people and the
fact that the only times I do is when I have to sing in Portuguese, strains my
relationship to Capoeira, which brings me to my next point. There is an essay that
I read by James Baldwin, If Black Isn't A
Language Then Tell Me, What is? that has a quote, which I feel applies to
this situation. "This understanding would reveal to him too much about himself,
and smash that mirror before which he had been frozen for so long"
I have always been arrogant, I try to hide it but the truth
is I think I can do everything right the first time. Singing in Portuguese is
not easy, it takes years to be able to do it well, years that I did not have.
This made me realize that I have a lot to learn, I'm not the best, not even
close. It scared me, scared me in a way that I had never encountered before.
This was not something that I could just blow off and ignore. I HAD to learn to
sing and lead the Roda.
This happened to me when I was fifteen Capoeira
is Brazilian in origin and therefore the names of the moves are all in
Portuguese, the masters and high level students are all fluent in Portuguese
and the songs and the names of the instruments are also in Portuguese. As a
fifteen year old I knew very little, a lot less than I should have of this
language and there where many times where I had to get a translator for me to
understand what the masters wanted me to do. Portuguese is the language of
Capoeira and my lack of knowledge automatically put me even lower level than I
had been on before and took away what little control I had over the situation.
In the year since, I have worked hard to over
come my fear of singing and by default my fear of Portuguese. I lead the roda with
my teacher, Lobo Mau regularly now and even though I still do not have quite
the right pronunciation I know that the only way to get better is to practice. The
essay that I quoted tells me that there are other people who have been in more
or less in the same situation. If they where able to over come their struggle,
their weakness and turn it into their strength why cant I?
Ananda Language Autobiography
inWhen starting this project i thought it would be hard to wright. As Mr. Block began explaining to us more the information about the project it begin to make more since. We also watched a documentary on different people and how they feel about others languages and accents. It was cool to hear how outsiders felt about the language i spoke. we also read many stories about different people and the things they went through coping with there languages. to successfully complete this project i had to think about the way i speak to my family, friends, teachers and others.
From the very moment you were born you began to learn your language. that first voice you hear begins to click in your head. For me when I was brought into this world i was brought into what some would call an standard English family. Of course there is a time when things change for everyone. As i began to meet new people and other family members from different parts of the World, my language would change up. Yes, i speak English and only English but different types of it, therefore i cant describe a specific language for myself.
Some people in my family say i have the personality of an old person sometimes. Now if you happen to be one of my friends reading this you would probably not think this at all. When it comes to my family we are very small and close nite leaving only a small portion of younger kids, me, my cousin and my niece. soon i wont be in that catgorey because of my age. Anyway I spend a lot of time, sometimes with my grandparents. The more i am around them the more there sayings rub off on me. I start to act and talk just like them. The difference with this is that it never last long once im not around them i stop talking that way, its not something i prefer but it happens.
When Im with my mom I try to talk a little proper. Only a little. My mom is a little up to date with slang but when i start to speak with slang a lot she does not always know what i am saying so i stop, and go back to talking proper. Mainly because i dot feel like explainging to her what these different sayings actually mean. Also, since in my home there is only my mom and i living there so the two of us have sayings or words that we make up for fun. When other people come around they may not know what we are talking about. A lot of the things that we say may be something silly but that's how we make things in this house interesting. Also i talk the same way with my teachers.
When i usually go on vacation down south to visit my family I stay for at least two weeks. As they talk in their southern accents i began to pick up on it as well. I pick up on it even more when im with the kids that are around my age. One day while i was hanging with my cousins we were in the backyard playing on the swing set, my cousin broke it because she was to big. We all got scared thinking we would get in trouble this had only been my third day there we all started to yell at each other there accents began to become stronger and stronger. The more they talked the more i started to sound just like them. There accents had rubbed off on me so much just from that day and we started to sound alike the rest of the time while i was there.
I feel like most of the time when i am talking I talk the way i talk with my friends. Also most of the time i am with my friends and that might be why. When talking to my friends we all use a straight up slang dialect there are times when someone may have to stop us and ask what something we say means. Also in all honesty when talking to my friends we use profanity. When my friends and I talk to each other it may seem like we talk as if we don't respect each other.
This is called code switching. I think code switching matters because it shows how society changes us with little things like the way we talk. Sometimes we don't even notice it. I think code switching shows that no one is really comfortable with themselves or feel like they have to change the way they are for certain people, and society should not make people feel like that.
Here is an example of how I would talk to friends compared to my mom.
Friends- Heyyy Gurl.!
Me- ayeee wassup
Friend – nuffin much chillen wat chu bout to get yourself into chick?
Me- I don't even know child lol bout to get on twitter or somethin and hit up some peoples, imma catch you later tho.
Friend – ard peace
This is how I would talk to my mom in the same convo
Mom- Hi ananda
Me- Hey mom how are you?
Mom – im fine what are you about to do
Me- I might get on the computer not really sure. I might call up some friends. I will see you in a bit
Mom ok bye Ananda
When it comes to me I mostly code switch from how I talk to my mom to how I talk to my friends. You can find out a lot about me also when you hear how I talk to my friends. Everyone uses code switching and may not even know it. I believe code switching can teach you a lot about yourself.

Quarter 2 English Benchmark
Who am I Talking To?
Recently, I went to dinner with my dad
and four of his friends. We ate at a funky, ethnic restaurant. Once we had
ordered they started to ask me some questions about school and life in general.
"Everything is good, school is… well, school."
I said slowly and clearly.
I went on to discuss in more detail some
of my experiences with High School. We started to talk about how schools used
to be different when they were growing up. Most of them had gone to Catholic school,
due to the fact that the public schools in their neighborhoods were really bad,
while regular private schools were unaffordable.
"My family was middle class. Everyone in
my family went to Catholic school. Everyone in my neighborhood went to Catholic
school. I wasn't really aware of other types of schools." One of my dad's
friend's, Tim, stated.
"I went to grade school with kids from
all over Philadelphia and then when it was time for High School we are
scattered again to different schools" I said. "No one goes to their
neighborhood schools anymore, Catholic, public or private."
We began to talk
about similarities and differences in our schools. For the most part they looked at me as though they were genuinely
interested in what I had to offer to the conversation.
" The nuns really did not care what we
learned, they were more interested in how we looked, and sounded ... and
smacking us with rulers." Dad's friend Roger said.
I laughed, and said how I could not
imagine learning that way. By the end of the night we were all talking together
about many different things.
I was observing the way in which I was talking with my
father's friends, and how it was so different from the way I talk with my own
friends. With my dad's friends my sentences are shorter and more succinct. When
I talk with my friends I tend to not think as much before speaking. I'm more
relaxed when talking with my friends, however unlike my experience talking to
my dad's friends, they never look at me like they think I'm smart or incredibly
I can't remember
exactly when I started to be more comfortable conversing with adults, not just
answering questions that were asked of me, but really conversing. I believe that it started sometime around
8th grade. Before that, I didn't actually think that adults cared about
what I had to say. I believed they were just being polite when they asked me
questions. I would mumble answers, or just look uncomfortable and hope someone
would fill in the blanks for me.
Similar to the story "Hunger
of Memory" by Richard Rodriguez, Rodriguez was afraid to speak in class because
he wasn't confident of his abilities and didn't want to sound foolish. I think
I also didn't feel confident or capable. But at a certain point I started to
believe that adults were taking what I had to say seriously. Applying to High
Schools was that turning point. I had many great conversations with teachers
and the parents of my friends. They helped me look at my interests and listened
to what I had to say and supported me in formulating my ideas for the next 4
years of my life. Writing essays and interviewing also helped me to get a voice
into who I was, how I could communicate and what I had to offer. I learned a
lot during this process, but mostly I learned how to talk to different people
and not be afraid that they would think I was an idiot. This was an exciting
time for me and one that gave me some confidence. Rodriguez had a lack of language skills
and was afraid of looking stupid. He got better by practicing. I think I've also
gotten better by practicing.
I enjoy conversations with people my age,
but also with older people that challenge my thinking and my opinions. Adults
respond differently to my language abilities, and to me. Some expect a certain level
of language and vocabulary from me, while others have no expectations and are
pleasantly surprised to be able to talk with a fifteen year old.

Large Clear Object
1st quarter we had to do a project, and draw a clear glass with all the shadings. But it was 8x6 paper, and very simple. So now it's 2nd quarter and Ms. Hull told us to draw a clear object but this time the paper was 22x36. I got really nervous and didn't know what to do. Then I just relaxed and thought about what she told us. I got my paper and black charcoal pastols. I remembered back in 1st quarter when we watched the artist start the glass. I shaded the background lightly so in the end it can look great. Then I drew a wide circle to start. Not all the way to the edge though. I started to form the rim of my 3-D glass, so it can look like it stick out my paper. I drew the rim and made it bend
into the circle, which was the format of the bowl. Then I started to blend and
shade the color. The outside of my bowl is not solid black; I tried to find
light and dark areas. That was difficult because sometimes it was hard to find.
So when I got done my vase. I looked at it and made sure I didn't see anything
in the background.

Maureen Kostalnick Recounts Her True Story in THE BUTTERNUT TREE
Author Maureen Kostalnick gives readers a glimpse at her own life in her novel based on a true story of an unspeakable crime, THE BUTTERNUT TREE. With powerfully moving prose and a distinct ability for recollection, Kostalnick transports readers into the world of her youth as she recounts the story of her upbringing in a small Ohio town in the 1940's.
Kostalnick begins her story interestingly; with the story of another. In 1928, Kostalnick's mother, Laura, was the victim of a violent and senseless sexual assault. However, in that time, regardless of a woman's innocence, a sexual assault on her would brand her "tarnished" by all those who knew her, even after she built a life, home, and family for herself.
Because of this assault, Kostalnick's mother was a great concern for her; as a young child, she often prayed to God to make her mother well. Maureen, only a child at the time, did not understand the nature of her mother's despair, nor did she understand why people in her town whispered quietly amongst themselves and seemed to pass judgment on Maureen's family. Growing up without a father, Maureen sought comfort in Billy, her childhood friend, Lassie, her dog, and an old butternut tree down by the creek in which she fished.
It was to this butternut tree that Maureen would make a solemn vow: to have a better life when she grew up. Readers will be transported to the Ohio of Maureen's youth; to its dusty streets and quiet churches, and the ways in which Maureen reacts to everything around her. Kostalnick's strength is her ability to weave humor into her story, giving readers the wonderful chance to laugh and cry right along with her. And when Maureen finally gains a sense of vindication as an adult, readers will feel, too, her relief and sense of having truly left the past behind her.
Maureen Ann Richards Kostalnick.
Maureen married her childhood sweetheart, Chuck, and lives in California in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. She has dedicated her life to her family, and to working with multi-handicapped children as a Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf. Maureen is widely recognized as an advocate for children with disabilities and those children who are forgotten.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Newsday reported that Stony Brook University added daily, nonstop bus service to Manhattan, provided by 7Bus, a private, Bohemia-based transit company, formerly known as Bolt Bus Long Island. The idea for the bus service came from a student panel on transportation. The university added the service after survey results showed that more than 70% of students were in favor of it. Since the service is separate from existing university transportation services, only students who use it will pay for it. For the full story, click here.

Makes about 2 cups, serving two
- a 1/2 pound russet (baking) potato
- a 9-ounce box frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a small saucepan combine the potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch and simmer it, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is very tender. While the potato is cooking, in a small skillet cook the artichoke hearts in the butter with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until they are very tender. Drain the potato, return it to the pan, and cook it covered, over moderate heat, shaking the pan, for 30 seconds, or until excess liquid is evaporated. Force the artichoke mixture and the potato through a food mill fitted with a medium disk into a bowl, discarding the solids, and season the purée with salt and pepper.

THE SEPARATION is the story of twin brothers, rowers in the 1936 Olympics (where they met Hess, Hitler's deputy); one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941. THE SEPARATION is an emotionally riveting story of how the small man can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.

Isabel Marant: Spring 2012
Isabel Marant Spring 2012
It doesn't take much for us to go dizzy over Izzy, but somehow, Isabel Marant's Spring collection has left us more enamored than ever before. Marant has the Parisian-cool look down pat, as seen in the array of sexy hand-knit dresses, doodle-print jeans, and minidresses she sent down the runway. It was the perfect balance of rock-star-meets-bohemian, as even more evidenced in pastel patchwork pieces paired with cozy knits, and fringed sweaters with snakeskin-print pants. Meanwhile, partywear options were provided via body-hugging minidresses made in tie-dye and metallic prints. Marant also showed off her sporty side with football tees and surprisingly chic track pants. Leave it to Marant to make sweatpants and tees look so good. After all, there's a reason why the designer has such a cult following. More details from the collection below.
- Trends: Colorful knits, football tees, printed and patchwork jeans, track pants, tie-dye.
- Colors: Pastels, blue, yellow, red, black, orange, pink, purple.
- Key Look: The sexy knitted dresses and patchwork pieces.
- Accessories: Sexy chain-embellished ankle-wrap sandals in metallic hues.
- Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave Parisian-cool looks like Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller.

I'mPat's Note:
Something that the DH and I put together. I have not included the time to cook the pasta (this can be done while you are cooking the seafood). Have had the FIL and MIl cooking this for some cousins (niece on the MIL'd side) but he nieces DH is severe celiac (using gluten free cream and sour cream and so his serve his portion is with rice (but have to up the sauce as the rice sucks it up, where it is coated over the pasta). Also please feel free to change the seafood mix to what you like or for that matter the vegetables, this recipe is not set in stone. Also times are based on prawns being deviened and peeled. fish filleted and just have to cube (sorry but we quite often make this from total scratch, filleting fish, peeling deviening prawns and cleaning squid - add another 1 hour if you are doing this too
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 500 g prawns (raw, peeled and deviened)
- 300 g fish (firm, cubed)
- 1 squid (tube, sliced into rings)
- 200 g scallops (meat)
- 6 garlic cloves (crushed or minced)
- 2 teaspoons ginger (grated)
- 1 -2 chile (to taste, deseeded and finely sliced)
- 1 spring onion (scallion, finely sliced)
- 3 tablespoons cream (thickened)
- 3 tablespoons sour cream (light)
- 1 cup broccoli floret
- 1 cup cauliflower floret
- 1 cup carrot (juliened)
- 350 g fettuccine pasta
- 4 -6 tablespoons peanut oil (to fry seafood)
- 1Cook pasta as per packet directions (time to have ready for step 10, it needs to be warm, if it goes cold it will stick together and the sauce won't coat it well).
- 2Lightly steam vegetables (I normally do in the microwave for a 30 to 60 seconds).
- 3Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over a medium to high heat in a large frypan or wok, cook fish till just done, remove to a plate.
- 4Add more oil, if required and cook the prawns till just cooked through, remove to a plate.
- 5Add more oil, if required and cook the scallops till just done, remove to plate.
- 6Wipe out the frypan and add more oil and heat up over medium to high heat and quickly cook the squid rings to just done and remove to plate.
- 7Wipe frypan clean and heat 1 teaspoon of oil over low heat and add the garlic, ginger and chillies and cook till fragrant.
- 8Add the cream and sour cream and lightly simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- 9Add the cooked seafood and lightly steamed vegetables and stir to coat, lightly simmering for 2 to 5 minutes till heated through.
- 10Add cooked pasta and spring onions, stirring to coat the pasta with the sauce.
- 11Serve and enjoy.

"A one dish meal combining the flavors of Chicken Piccata with potatoes and fresh green beans. Adapted from "Everyday with Rachael Ray," August 2009. Supposed to cost less than $10."

"A truly delicious and enjoyable meal. I didn't have beans as they aren't in season here, so used fresh raw celery instead which worked really well. I also used 'Agria' potatoes rather than the red ones which were recommended. This recipe has been saved to my Cookbook and will definitely be made again."

At Kaltura, adding to and extracting additional data from visual media has always been a priority. In previous Kaltura releases we introduced multiple custom data schemas and beefed up the data assigned to entries. In our recent Eagle release we added a whole new dimension: adding data to a particular point in time for video and audio entries.
Server Side Clipping and Trimming
Kaltura server now supports the new abilities to clip or trim an entry. The trimming or clipping is done physically on the file system using conversion engines such as FFMPEG.
Clipping vs Trimming:
- Clipping- Create a new entry from an existing entry. Allows you to specify the start and end time for the new entry – the clip, this can be used to create a 2 minutes intro video to a long lecture or to take parts from one, such as homework assignments. You can also clip a long lecture to several shorter clips divided by subjects. The new entry will point to it's source entry which it was clipped from, so you can always know what was the source entry for the clip – this can be found on the KaltruraBaseEntry->rootEntryId property.
You can find all the clips that were created from a given entry, for example entry ID '0_ad523s', by this simple API call:
123$filter = new KalturaMediaEntryFilter();$filter->rootEntryIdEqual = '0_ad523s'; //Add your source entry id here$results = $client->media->listAction($filter, null);In order to chain several clips from a single video, create a dynamic playlist with this filter:
12$filter = new KalturaMediaEntryFilterForPlaylist();$filter->rootEntryIdEqual = '0_ad523s'; //Add your source entry id here - Trimming – No new entry is created. Sometimes, you may want to trim the start and/or end of a video, removing redundant parts. Trimming is performed on the source flavor of the entry, modifying that video permanently.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 |
// Params $overwrite = true; //Decides whether to trim the entry or clip it // Entry Data $entryId = '0_ad523s';//Add your entry ID $startTime = 100; //Set the start time of the clip / trim in milliseconds $endTime = 5000; //Set the end time of the clip / trim in milliseconds $clipDuration = $endTime - $startTime; // Create New Clip $operation1 = new KalturaClipAttributes(); $operation1->offset = $startTime; $operation1->duration = $clipDuration; // Add New Resource $resource = new KalturaOperationResource(); $resource->resource = new KalturaEntryResource(); $resource->resource->entryId = $entryId; $resource->operationAttributes = array($operation1); if( $overwrite ) { // Trim Entry try { $resultEntry = $client->media->updateContent($entryId, $resource); } catch( Exception $e ){ die('{"error": "' . $e->getMessage() . '"}'); } } else { // Create New Media Entry $entry = new KalturaMediaEntry(); $entry->name = "New Clipped Entry Name"; $entry->description = "New Clipped Entry Description"; $entry->mediaType = 1; //The new media type // New Clip $resultEntry = $client->media->add($entry); $resultEntry = $client->media->addContent($resultEntry->id, $resource); } |
*Code was taken from our new clipping application
So trim away!
New Entry Assets – Captions and Attachments
Kaltura's new Eagle version introduced 2 new assets publishers can now attach to media entries: Caption assets (CaptionAsset Service in the API), to hold subtitles/captions of video assets and related files attachments.
We currently support captions of type: SRT and TimeTex (TTML / DFXP) files.
In-Video Search:
But why stop at subtitles, the caption files, now also make the video searchable, to the time in the video where words are said.
Click Here for the showcase of in-video search developed by our KDP master Hila Karimov.
The demo lets you search captions throughout the movie, hit the search button to find the position of the text in the text box. (See if you can find the most frequently said word…).
Here are few use-cases; Analysis of political debates, searching through long lecture, interviews and speeches.
Have more use-case in mind? The code is @ our GitHub account over here, play around, fork it and let us know what you come up with!
Related Files:
The second asset is Related Files (AttachmentAsset Service in the API). Related Files are attachements to the media entry, that can be managed and served in addition to the media. The common use cases include: the license for the media asset, the plot or presentation files related to a video or basically any other file you'd like to save next to the media asset.
The Server-side for this was developed by our senior core developer TanTan.
We're very happy that video will be fully indexed and searchable, and very excited to so what great features you come up with using these new APIs and tools.
Announcing Kaltura's New Clipping Application
We are excited to announce Kaltura's new clipping and trimming tool that was launched in Eagle version.
The new clipping tool is used inside the KMC and it's also a stand alone application. It consists of KDP or HTML 5 player to show you the movie you are about to edit and a time bar which is used as a visual aid when editing your videos. So the clipping tool enables you to edit your videos visually or by setting the start time and end time of your clip.
The clipping tool is basically a "bridge" between the KDP, the time bar, and the start time / end time fields. It synchronizes all of them so if you perform any action on the any widget or field, the others will be updated accordingly.
The clipping tool time bar is a standalone widget developed in Flex that shows the time line of an entry.
One of it's major features is the ability to create a new clipped entry from a given entry as it's name suggested. You can even replace the original entry with the new clip – so your clip source can be trimmed as well.
The time bar is basically a bar with public API's like: AddCuePoint, AddClip, ScrollToPoint and more cool API's.
As a general rule all the time bar UI abilities can be performed from external java script or Flash using its public API that will be released soon.
Like all Kaltura widgets it has a very flexible UI. You can display or hide any UI component and even change the time bar skin by editing the UIConf or using Flash vars directly.
Don't forget to call the save API to save your changes once your done.
You can: download the code
Or just: play with it
Developed by Michal Radwanzor and Ran Yefet.
The Gendered Advertising Remixer
During the last OVC Hack Labs day in NYC (2010 OVC), one of the fun projects we worked on was an education application that allows quick remixing of short video ads.
Here's a short paragraph describing the application by Jonathan McIntosh, the brains and innovator behind this project:
Each Child in the United States is subjected to an average of 25,000 TV commercials every year. Embedded in those advertisements are a regressive and stereotypical set of social values about expected gender roles for boys and girls.
So how can kids hope to push back against that billion dollar marketing machine?
This simple remixing tool provides an easy way to re-combine audio from ads directed at boys with video from ads directed at girls (and vice versa) to create hilarious and insightful new mash-ups.The project's goal is to help empower youth of all genders to better understand, deconstruct and creatively re-frame the highly gendered messages emanating from their television sets.
A series of educational resources and materials are also currently being developed for teachers to use alongside this remixing tool."
There are about 800 possible Ad combinations from 40 different Ads… Share your best mixed ads below : )
Jonathan and I met during the OVC Hack Labs day, where he shared his idea and told me about a workshop he did: Reel Grrls Workshop: Gendered Ads Remixed.
I took the challenge, and after a couple hours of planning and coding (and mostly beer drinking), the application was ready and live. Last night, in preparation for Jonathan's participation at the Digital Media and Learning Conference, we polished bits of the design and made it live –Gendered Advertising Remixer – Beta 1.
Some Techie Background –
The application utilizes the Kaltura Flex Collaborative Video Framework, the same code library used behind the scenes to create the Kaltura Online Video Editors (KSE and KAE). This is the "mixing magic" that combines the audio and video streams of the two video ads dragged to the center.
Utilizing Adobe Flex framework 4.5, made it super easy to put the UI parts together, specifically extending Flex's TileList and other layout components. Right click > view source, on the Flash App to see the source code, and learn more, most should be pretty straight forward for Flex developers out there.
Stay tuned as we might try and make an HTML5 version too (some's up for the challenge?) : )
Check out Jonathan's "The Politics of User Generated Content" session at the DML Conference, March 5th.
Let us know what you think below…

Norman Records Review Fickle Publics 'Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courtney Cox Arquette'
Brian here following the bruising, desolate & beautiful swansong of the ginger god we all bow to, Clinton. How could I possibly follow such scathing & passionate ramblings?
The irony is he's missed out on reviewing this single by Fickle Public who veer from a heavier Built To Spill to a more Drive Like Jehu/At The Drive-In melodic turbo Grrrr-fest. The intuitive name is possibly the most appropriate band moniker around. If these guys were less excellent careering post hardcore & more a post Interpol limpozoid dribbling coma-fest then their name would have me urinating steadily in my keks with glee. 'Just Like I Got Used To Saying Courtney Cox Arquette' is the unusually ridiculous title. Cool.

Congrats Homeslice
I just thought we could start a thread for people to congratulate HS on his recent completion of 200 reviews. That's a big stack of mappage to cover! I know there are some people who have reviewed more maps over on other review sites, but HS is just cranking them through. Well done!
6th Jun 2004, 10:24 AM | #2 |
Congrats homeslice, that's quite an accomplishment. You're a reviewing machine!
6th Jun 2004, 07:34 PM | #4 |
Thanks guys. Really, I didn't know I'd last this long. But I did and I don't intend to stop now. I may well have UT2k4 (by tonight at the very earliest) on my hard drive soon, so I'll need not make any more pointless requests (after the ones I have yet to review) and get to work on the new game. Thanks for all your support, everyone.

Somewhat belated congratulations to you, good sir. Two hundred maps! As a reviewer myself, I can really appreciate the amount of time and the level of commitment that must have gone into that. All the more so since I've only done thirty and some myself, and it feels like I've been writing them forever. Nice work!
18th Jun 2004, 11:51 AM | #6 |
Congrats on the milestone! You and Clark passed me up a while back. I did over 50 reviews and had to bail because of life stuff. It does take a lot of commitment and Homeslice's contribution to Insite is significant and greatly appreciated!
18th Jun 2004, 07:52 PM | #7 |
Wewtz! Congrats! Now I have something to shoot for ^_^

Yeah, but it may not be beaten unless I leave one day....

Image is everything
Does the Middle East media represent Arabs poorly? And if it does, how can this be fixed? Communicate reports.
December 25, 2009 9:44 by Sam Potter
"Middle East countries are getting good at this," he said. "But the interesting thing is that this has not yet transferred to the ad industry." The implication being that, until more Emiratis are involved with advertising, there can be no effective self-deprecation.
According to Dimachkie, this lack of involvement all too often leads to cliché-ridden ads, or generic ads that could be used anywhere in the world, because there is no real insight.
He was joined on the panel by Dr. Nezar Andary (pictured), professor at Zayed University of Abu Dhabi; photographer Alia al-Shamsi; founder of the Traffic design gallery Rami Farook; and James Langton, Deputy Editor of The National on Saturday. All offered an interesting perspective.
Andary, in particular, posed questions that deserved much more time. Two that stuck with Communicate were: Do we really want to represent the problem as being between locals and non-locals? And is it genuinely possible to find a solution if it is a forced process?
Meanwhile, the introduction for photographer Shamsi – an intended compliment – was, unfortunately, yet another symptom of the Arabian representation problem. "She has transcended both her gender and her nationality," said the moderator, in the manner of a teacher praising a pupil.
Good for her, we thought (sarcastically), because generally women can't be photographers, and we all know Emiratis can't use cameras.

At least, I hope someone thinks that. Anyhow, I've already attempted this project once and failed to find the proper angle to tackle it from, but now I think I have it, and I'm ready to approach this project anew. The original Game Boy Zelda quest has always been one of my favorites, and seeing as how the Game Boy is one of my favorite systems to cover of late, I figured I'd go ahead, combine the two loves, and give this nifty FAQ a spin. If you should ever have to drop me a line about anything in this or any of my FAQ/walkthroughs, you can reach me daily at . This is where all of my FAQ-related mail goes - that's right, to my spam-flooded Hotmail account. With that in mind, make sure you specify what the nature of your e-mail is so that I don't get it confused with advertisements for pills with indescribable side effects and endless forwards from people I don't even know. And if it's a question about something in the game, make triple-sure that it was already answered somewhere within the walkthrough, or else it has a 100.1% chance of summarily being deleted. Other than that, this walkthrough is designed in the hopes that it addresses every problem you might ever have in extremely specific detail. (That, by the way, is not the same as adding egregious amounts of filler to a walkthrough.) Whatever you hope to find within the text of this monster, it is my only wish that it would be in there. This document is here to serve you, O humble FAQ-browser. Also, there is a good bit more humor in this thing than in most of my FAQs, and some of it has a tendency to get pretty stupid. Please don't e-mail me saying there's no such Canadian beachfront resort as Toronto Shores. I know that. In many cases I'm just lightening the mood and adding my own whacked-out brand of humor to the mix. So peace out, and have fun playing Link's Awakening! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STORYLINE ========= The main story, as interpreted from the cinematic sequence at the beginning of the game: Link is sailing along in his boat whilst in the throes of a raging tempest. The wind is blowing so hard that the rain is moving sideways through the night sky, and lightning is meeting the water at every possible coordinate. As he attempts to batten down the masts to keep his tiny little vessel from capsizing, a bolt of lightning strikes him directly, and the screen fades to white. Has our valiant elfin hero passed on to the Hyrulian afterlife? Hardly. Unconscious on the sun-baked shores of a distant uncharted island, our hero, if not found or woken up, may very well get himself a third-degree tan, if you get this FAQ author's drift. Luckily for him, a fair maiden named Marin (as in "I have to go Marin-ate the steaks before I put them on the grill") finds him and takes him in her arms as the camera pans upward to the Wind Fish's egg resting peacefully atop the island's tallest mountain. Now you see why I am mainly a reviewer and not a FAQ writer. In any case, it is apparent that Link needs to gather his bearings about himself, journey out into this brave new world with such mortals in it, and find out just how he can get off this island, named Koholint, in one piece. Just one problem, though - the island is rumored to be inescapable. Can Link lay his doubters' doubts to rest and make it back to Hyrule where a king-size bed and a scantily-clad Princess Zelda await him? You'll just have to play the game to find out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINK'S CONTROLS =============== Link is a fairly easy critter to move around and make perform basic tasks, but his weaponry and the mystical items he will receive throughout his journey allow the standard few buttons on the Game Boy to see many uses. What follows is an exhaustive appendix of all the things you can do with a directional pad, Start and Select, and a couple of action buttons. You'll be surprised at how much versatility Link has been given in this game! _ _| |_ |_ _| |_| D-pad >> Move the cursor between letters and options at the naming screen. >> Move Link up, down, left, and right. >> Move the cursor along Link's island map. >> Make selections on in-game menus. >> Select a tune to play on the ocarina. ___ ___ (___) (___) Start and Select >> Begin the game (Start). >> Confirm menu choices (Start also). >> Pause the game by bringing up your inventory menu (guess which one). >> Select actually does have a couple of uses! But one of them is part of a broader cheat that encompasses the use of several buttons at once. So I've tucked it away in the Fun Secret Extras section at the end of this walkthrough. You can see the other use just by scrolling down a little. >> Press Select any time while playing to reveal a map of the entire island that keeps track of important landmarks and milestones in your quest. _ _ |_| |_| A and B Buttons * Depending on what button you have certain items assigned to, you may have to press either A or B to produce the effects listed here. * Items on the right half of your inventory screen are used automatically when the situation calls for them. >> Press A to talk to people in towns and other areas, and again to scroll through their words. >> Press B to skip the dialogue of the game's more tedious ramblers where necessary. >> Press B in front of a treasure chest to open it. >> Use the respective button to choose an item off the inventory screen. (For example, press B when your cursor is on the Pegasus Boots if you want to assign them to the B button, and press A on the Roc's Feather if you want to assign it to A.) You can carry no more than two items at once. >> Sword: Press the button you have assigned it to to swing it. If you have full energy and the L-2 Sword, you can fire a beam of energy. >> Roc's Feather: Press the button you have assigned it to to execute a small but handy jump. >> Toadstool: Hold this up in front of the witch by pressing a button and she'll whip up a batch of magic powder for you. >> Magic Powder: Press the button to sprinkle a light dab of the pixie dust in front of you. >> Pegasus Boots: Hold the button you have assigned them to to perform a dash maneuver. You will have to use the dash in conjunction with other items throughout the game in order to proceed. >> Hookshot: Press a button when you are across from a compatible surface (e.g. a rock, a post, certain walls) to latch onto it and drag Link over to it. Useful for crossing large pits. >> Arrows: If you have the Bow (it costs 980 rupees in the shop), you can use it to fire arrows by pressing A or B. >> Bombs: Lay a bomb by pressing whichever button you have assigned them to. When you get the Power Bracelet, you can lift your own bombs. >> Boomerang: Press the button to throw it, and watch as it magically comes back to you! This can both kill and paralyze certain enemies. >> Shovel: Press a button to dig up the 1x1 square of earth you're currently standing on. Digging in certain locations can reveal useful items such as Secret Seashells, rupees, hearts, and sometimes even dungeon keys. >> Power Bracelet: Press the button you have chosen to lift certain objects that are too heavy to relocate under normal circumstances. >> Fire Rod: Pressing A or B will shoot a fireball out of this magical wand that can make quicker work of most enemies than the sword or other items will. >> There are some other neat but rather unorthodox tricks this pony can do, and I've saved those for the Fun Secret Extras section, which is located after the walkthrough portion of this document. _ _ ___ ___ |_| |_| (___) (___) A, B, Start, and Select >> Press all at the same time to bring up a screen that allows you to either resume your game or save and quit. When you load your game next time, you will start at the last entrance you went through. >> There's also a cheat involving this - as always, look in Fun Secret Extras for the full scoop. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEMS ===== NOTE: The uses and control schemes for some of these items can be found in the above section entitled "Link's Controls," but this is the quickest, cleanest one-stop reference for the items you'll find in this game. You will also notice that the section is divided into two parts: the Interactive Items subsection (for items you use yourself) and the Automatic Items subsection (for items that are used when the corresponding situation arises). ----------------- Interactive Items ----------------- SHIELD Link first regains his shield from Tarin, the wise old Mario-faced father of Marin who tends to be a doddering old fool from time to time. When Link's shield is selected as one of his two items, he does not hold it up at all times like in previous installments of the series; it needs to be activated with a button press. Hold down the button it is on to keep Link guarded from direct fire. At a late point in the game, Link will get an improved shield that allows him to deflect beams. SWORD Most of the time, you will wield the sword in battle. It is Link's most trusted weapon, and he will find it wedged in the sands of Toronbo Shores (not to be confused with Toronto Shores, Canada's most elegant beachfront resort). Once you have it, assign it to a button and swing away! Later in the game, if you meet a certain requirement, you will be given a better sword that is capable of shooting beams of energy when all of Link's energy hearts are filled. SHOVEL Not a steep buy at just 200 rupees, but well worth it. Use the shovel to dig up generic items here and there like rupees and hearts or to root out bigger and better things like Secret Seashells and, in one case, a dungeon key. TOADSTOOL In the Mysterious Woods, Link will happen upon a lone 'shroom growing up out of the soil. Pick it up and take it the witch's hut, and she will make you a nice beautiful bag of magic powder. Unlike most items of its ilk, it must be equipped and held up in the witch's hut to have the proper effect (as opposed to it automatically working when you talk to her). MAGIC POWDER Magic powder is the catalyst for some of the wilder reactions in the game. Sprinkle it on certain objects to get a rise out of them or activate certain events. It can be used in dungeons to light up dark rooms with torches in them, or to kill certain allergic enemies on the spot. However, its most applicable use is in the Mysterious Woods, in which you will need it to get past a very troublesome furry woodland creature. BOMBS Use these explosive babies to cause weak spots in walls to crumble or to get large, structurally weak obstacles out of your way. They can also kill enemies if the enemies are in close proximity to the blast site and are the key to defeating certain bosses. BOW/ARROWS You'll have to strain your wallet to afford one of these puppies (980 rupees), but in return you will be granted the ability to use arrows whenever you pick them up. BOOMERANG Later on in the game, you may happen upon a gentleman willing to take one of your items so that he might give you the super-duper-handy-dandy boomerang. The boomerang can kill most monsters and it can only paralyze others, but its versatility makes it a mighty long-range weapon. ROC'S FEATHER Link is able to jump once he equips this item that he gets early on in the first dungeon. PEGASUS BOOTS When you hold the button you have equipped this super brand of footwear to, Link will dash hurriedly along the ground. Combined with the Roc's Feather, you can perform some real pole vault-style jumps with these. HOOKSHOT Link can travel over long chasms quickly with the Hookshot provided he has something on the other side he can latch onto. The Hookshot can paralyze and kill enemies and is needed for going over pits that Link cannot jump over even with the combined aid of the Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather. POWER BRACELET When Link slips the Power Bracelet onto his wrist, he will be able to lift great and mighty objects because the Power Bracelet sends the muscle power of fifty mortal men coursing through his body! Later in the game, there is a more powerful version of the Bracelet that allows you to lift even heavier things. OCARINA Link can learn up to three tunes on this oval-shaped flute and play them on certain occasions to make things happen. The ocarina is especially important in the waking of the mysterious Wind Fish, but it has the odd use here and there as well, making it an item you can't afford to pass up. FIRE ROD Late in the game, Link will receive a wand that can shoot fire and burn enemies to death. While it has the tedious connection of being integral to beating its particular dungeon's boss, it can mostly be used as a flashy way of killing enemies and for making your magic powder all but obsolete. Good for offensive measures if you don't yet have the L-2 Sword. --------------- Automatic Items --------------- INSTRUMENTS OF THE WIND FISH When Link conquers a dungeon, he will receive an Instrument of the Wind Fish for beating that particular dungeon's boss. Link cannot play any of the instruments on his own, and the instruments have no magical effect of any sort unless all eight are played in unison. To wake the Wind Fish from his slumber and escape from Koholint Island, Link will have to play all eight Instruments in front of the Wind Fish's Egg by playing Marin's song on the ocarina. PIECES OF HEART When Link finds four of these heart fragments, he'll receive one full heart container to add to his maximum count. There are 12 Pieces of Heart scattered throughout Koholint Island in total. HEART CONTAINER Each dungeon boss leaves behind a heart container when it perishes. When Link holds it over his head, one whole energy heart is added to his total. Link can have up to 14 heart containers. GUARDIAN ACORN Enemies of all types drop these at random. When Link picks one up, the damage done to him by all enemies is halved - sometimes the damage done by weaker enemies is so negligible that it will appear as though the enemy did no damage! PIECE OF POWER Looking like a fully pieced-together Triforce, a Piece of Power will make Link's sword do a great deal more damage. Pieces of Power only work on the sword, not any other items. FAIRIES Fairies sometimes lie in wait in caves, or they spawn from the death of enemies, or can be coaxed of hiding places such as trees. No matter where he finds them, they will always restore Link fully if he comes into direct contact with them. (Whoa baby! Better hope Zelda doesn't find out about this!) SECRET SEASHELLS Secret Seashells are hidden all over Koholint Island in many different places. There is a mansion where if Link turns in enough of the ones he has collected, he might win himself a right nice prize - and not some cheap decoder ring out of the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks either. The inventory screen is the quickest way to determine how many seashells you have. SMALL/DUNGEON/NIGHTMARE KEYS Small keys open locked doors in dungeons and can only be used inside dungeons. They are used automatically when Link walks up to a door. Small keys can only be used in the respective dungeons in which they are collected. Nightmare Keys open the door to the boss's lair in a dungeon. There is only one in each dungeon, and like the small keys, each one cannot be used except in the dungeon where you find it. Dungeon keys open the entrances to certain dungeons. Of the game's eight dungeons, four require keys to open. They are found on the overworld map as opposed to inside the dungeons. COMPASS Compasses are only found in dungeons, and have three different uses: 1) they tell you where every treasure in the dungeon is located, 2) they tell you where the Nightmare's room is located, and 3) once you obtain the compass, you will hear a beep when you enter a room where a key can be found. MAP The map simply shows you the shape of the dungeon and where to go inside it. You might want to find this as soon as possible if you don't want to risk getting lost. STONE SLAB Find a stone slab in each dungeon to reveal the words written on the tablet with the huge hole in the middle. Once the stone slab is used to reveal what is written on the tablet, you will often be rewarded with a subtle, cryptic hint to nudge you along if you are absolutely stuck in a dungeon. FLIPPERS Once Link collects the Flippers in the Angler's Tunnel, he will be able to swim through the water anytime he falls in it (as opposed to before where he would sink like a Brink's truck filled with money). CRAZY TRACY'S MEDICINE For a small fee, a lady named Crazy Tracy will make Link some medicine. If Link should happen to lose all his hearts and is carrying this special tonic in his inventory, he will automatically be refilled to maximum strength. RICHARD'S GOLDEN LEAVES On your way to the third dungeon, a prince named Richard asks that you make a detour at Kanalet Castle and retrieve his five valuable Golden Leaves for him. When you do, he'll reveal a passage that will allow you to come ever closer to that mysterious third dungeon. TRADING SEQUENCE ITEMS Throughout the game there will be a long-running sequence in which Link must trade certain seemingly useless items that he collects for other seemingly useless items. It all forms a long chain that culminates at an end that is necessary to your discovery of the path to the Wind Fish. So the items aren't so useless after all, are they now? If you have trouble finding out where you have to take certain items, you can find the whole chain in the section labelled "The Trading Cycle," which is located just prior to the walkthrough portion of this document. To make sure you're actually participating in the cycle, there are certain points in the game that you cannot pass if you have not traded items up to the proper point. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEART PIECE LOCATION APPENDIX ============================= Three of Link's energy hearts come from finding large containers around the island known as Pieces of Heart. When four are collected, they converge to form one whole heart container, which is then added to Link's maximum total. Seeing as how all the Pieces of Heart in the game add up to three heart containers total, it stands to reason that there are twelve heart segments in the entire game. Here they are, listed for the most part in the order in which you get them: 1) When you have your sword, go west of Mabe Village to a cliff with tufts of grass guarding the edge. Below these is a well; cut the grass (there will always be hearts or rupees under them) and jump into the well. The Piece of Heart rests in the middle of the puddle. Use the staircase to get back up to the surface world. 2) At the Fishing Pond in Mabe Village, catch the large fish near the wall in the pond. Not only will you get 20 rupees, it will also have a Piece of Heart inside it. (first time only) 3) Near the witch's hut is a circle of holes surrounding a Piece of Heart. When you have the Roc's Feather from Tail Cave, come to this area and jump in the middle of the bottomless pit circle to grab the Piece. 4) Return to the cave in the Mysterious Woods that you went through to get the toadstool once you have the Power Bracelet. Pick up the skulls in the final room of the cave to allow yourself access to the Heart Piece. 5) Once you have the Pegasus Boots, go to Ukuku Prairie and look for a cave entrance that must be bombed open. Inside the cave are several crystals that must be dashed through and a 50-rupee treasure chest. Feel along the cave's far right wall until you find a weak spot. Bomb that weak spot and go in the resulting "door" to find a Piece of Heart. 6) In the Yarna Desert, fall down the center hole in the mini-boss's (the worm's) lair. Feel along the northern wall of the cave you land in until you locate a weak spot, then bomb the wall and go in the hidden room for a Piece of Heart. 7) Explore the moat in Kanalet Castle, swimming around until you find one to the left of the castle's gates (you'll have to dive to get it). 8) Go one screen south of the witch's hut (where you received the magic powder) and lift the rocks with the Power Bracelet to get to the staircase within. Go one screen right, then use a combination of the Pegasus Boots and the Roc's Feather to leap the wide chasm to the right. From there, it is a simple bounce to the next Piece of Heart. 9) In a cave consisting totally of water east of Angler's Tunnel, dive in the center of the cave (press B) to find a Piece of Heart under the lake. You must first have the flippers from Angler's Tunnel to find this one. 10) In the Animal Village, there is a cave in the northeastern corner that you can only get to by going all the way around the village and bombing it open. Once there, find a cracked rock across from a pit that is too long to dash-jump across. Equip the bombs to one button and the arrows to another, and fire both at the rock to create a "flying bomb" of sorts. The amalgamation of the two items will destroy the rock on impact, which will allow you to Hookshot across and grab the Piece of Heart. 11) In the Tal Tal Mountains, go west of the hen house and cut down the shrub to reveal a staircase. In that first room there, bomb the southern- most wall to reveal a new passageway. Follow the one-way path to the easy Piece of Heart. 12) At the north end of Turtle Rock is a staircase that takes you outside. Up there, you will find the Piece of Heart resting atop a mountain with another door leading back into the dungeon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECRET SEASHELL LOCATION APPENDIX ================================= The quest to find all the Secret Seashells is by no means an imperative one, but if you do happen to find 20 of them, you will be rewarded with a more powerful sword if you take the 20 you have to the Seashell Mansion (located near Kanalet Castle; it looks sort of like a State Fair blue-ribbon pumpkin). To help aid you in this side quest, there are actually more than 20 Secret Seashells scattered about the island of Koholint. There are 25 in total, and this encyclopedic listing is designed to help you find at least 80% of those, if not all of them. Can you track them all down? 1) One screen east of Marin and Tarin's house is a 6x6 square of grass tufts. Cut somewhere near the middle of this square until you locate it. 2) When you have the shovel, dig in the bottom right corner of the side building next to Madame MeowMeow's house (where the smaller version of BowWow resides). The seashell should pop right out of the ground. 3) One screen west of the entrance to Tail Cave there is a tree. Return there when you have the Pegasus Boots and charge into the tree to reveal the seashell. 4) Return to Tail Cave when you have bombs and go inside. In one room there is a wall to your left that has a crack in it. Put a bomb next to the weak spot and wait for the wall to explode. Equip the Roc's Feather and go in the new entryway. Jump to the isolated floor in the middle and open the treasure chest to reveal a Secret Seashell. 5) When you have the Power Bracelet, return to the Mysterious Woods. There is a rock guarding a small enclosed area with a treasure chest. Lift the rock and discard it, then open the treasure chest to garner another shell. 6) As you may know, the Seashell Mansion will gauge how many seashells you have collected every time you go there. If you go to get your seashells measured when you have five of them, you will receive a present. Inside is a sixth seashell. 7) Return to the Mansion when you have ten shells. Again, you will receive a present; open it to find the 11th. 8) At Kanalet Castle you will discover a long pit with a flight of stairs at the end that you are not able to jump across even when using the Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather in conjunction with each other. However, come back to it when you have the Flying Rooster tagging along with you. Use the Power Bracelet to pick him up and have him fly you over the long chasm to the staircase. Inside the room is a Seashell. 9) In Ukuku Prairie, go one screen east of the entrance to the Key Cavern and go up the stairs. Dig in the soil surrounded by tall grass to reveal a shell. 10) After getting the flippers, go one screen east of where you got Seashell #9. There is a lone island with a plant on it. Swim to it and hit the plant from above to just barely prevent the Seashell from plunking into the water. 11) When Richard moves the wooden crate for you after you give him all five of his Golden Leaves, go down the staircase and take the path on the left. Push the boulder into the abyss, then jump over it with the Roc's Feather and open the chest to reveal a Seashell. 12) There is a Secret Seashell hidden in the grass to the right of the Seashell Mansion. 13) North of the maze of signs is a tree sitting next to one of Old Man Ulrira's telephone booths. Charge the tree with the Pegasus Boots to reveal a Seashell. 14) Go to the very southeastern corner of the Yarna Desert and lift up the lower of the two rocks sitting next to each other. There will be a Secret Seashell under it. 15) Go one screen west and one screen south of the witch's hut (the one where she made you the magic powder) and cut down the lone tuft of grass, then dig in the area surrounded by curly weeds to remove a Secret Seashell the soil. 16) When you return the ghost that follows you to his grave after taking him to his house (before you proceed to the Catfish's Maw), he will tell you to look in a jar in his house. Return to his house and lift up the pot in the lower right-hand corner to locate a Secret Seashell. 17) On the way to the southern Face Palace, where all the Armos statues are, there is one blocking a staircase that leads underground. In the newly uncovered room there is a lone treasure chest with a Seashell in it. 18) In the northernmost room on the left side of the Face Shrine is a staircase that will transport you to a closed-off island in the rapids north of there. Get the Secret Seashell and then return to the Face Shrine. 19) Down south of the bay, find a waterway that winds around to an island with a singular plant on it. Cut down the plant to reveal the Seashell. 20) On the same screen as the mermaid statue, there is another single plant on the piece of land across from it. Cut it down to find the Seashell. 21) Also in the bay, there is an owl statue located near the water. Dig around it while you still have the shovel to find it. 22) From the Seashell Mansion, go one screen south, one screen west, and two screens south. Lift up the single rock on that screen to find a Seashell. 23) Along the way through the Tal Tal Mountains, you will find a cave with a path marked by water and a single square of sand. Bomb on the single sand patch to reveal a new corridor that eventually leads to five chests containing 20 rupees each. Through the door south of those chests is one containing a seashell. 24) Also in the Tal Tal Mountains, east of the henhouse, there is an assemblage of three rocks, one of which is a decoy; another of which has a Secret Seashell under it. 25) In Eagle's Tower, go to the lower left-hand corner room of the second floor, where you will fight the cyclops from the Bottle Grotto. Fall in one of the holes to the left to go down to the first floor, where you should find yourself standing on the raised border around the room. Go up to find the seashell in a chest. |


text: Representative Charles Gonzalez repeats the canard that Judge Alito's application of the Supreme Court's Lopez opinion in his Rybar dissent could threaten civil rights laws. This is simply not so. The laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and the provision of public amenities — both economic activities — are not threatened by even a very aggressive application of commerce clause limits. Many liberal academics whose views of federalism were formed during the 1960s, inevitably assume that federalism is about civil rights, but it is not so.

Rolf Boldrewood
Biography of Rolf Boldrewood
Rolf Boldrewood (T. A. Browne) was one of the best-known novelists of nineteenth-century Australia. Robbery Under Arms brought him a national and an international audience. It became a household name, and has remained in print since 1889.
Boldrewood was the first novelist to create specifically Australian characters. He was one of the chief spokesmen for 'old' (pre-goldrush) Australia; for pastoral Australia; and above all, for conservative Australia.
Browne had three careers: as a pioneer squatter; civil servant and writer and epitomised the pioneer colonist who experiences sudden reversals of fortune. Research, shows that he was not merely the sunny, hopeful and genial man portrayed in earlier studies, but rather an impulsive, extravagant, at times thoughtless optimist, whose Micawber-like temperament enabled him to escape being crushed by his ill-judged decisions.
Browne used his own life and experiences as raw material for his novels, but his career was in many ways far grimmer than most of his fiction.

The Bushman's Lullaby
Lift me down to the creek bank, Jack,
It must be fresher outside;
The long hot day is well nigh done;
It's a chance if I see another one;
I should like to look on the setting sun,
And the water, cool and wide.
We didn't think it would be like this

Sundance -- From Cold Of Utah To Heat Of Abu Dhabi?
As part of its effort to become a cultural hub of the Middle East, Abu Dhabi is planning to launch an international film festival in partnership with the Sundance Film Festival, Daily Variety reported today (Tuesday), citing unidentified sources. According to the trade publication, the startup festival is expected to be launched in April. Ironically, news of the festival came on the same day that Sundance founder Robert Redford was telling the Hollywood Reporter that there are now too many festivals. "That's a tricky thing for me to be saying ... but I do think there's such a thing as too much of certain things," Redford said. The profusion of film festivals, he implied, has left the future of Sundance itself in doubt. "When we started there was very little out there; now, there's a lot. My feeling is when the day comes when we're no longer providing the mission we started with -- not creating something new for audiences, not creating opportunities for new artists to have a place to come and develop -- then we shouldn't be here, and we won't."
