Also, Spring/Easter Break would be April 3-April 10, 2015. The calendar includes 3.5 hurricane days, down from 6.5, plus more teacher inservice days.
The 2014-15 first semester would end January 8, 2015, a couple days after students get back from Winter Break.

Fiction - Kindle edition; New Island Books; 404 pages; 2011.
Don't be fooled by the menacing image on the cover of this book: this is not hardboiled noir, as I had mistakenly thought, but historical fiction of the finest order. The title of the novel, and the picture used to illustrate it, comes from what criminals call the two circles of the end of a shotgun lying on their side.
A fictionalised account of a true murder case
Carlo Gébler's The Dead Eight is based on a true story in which police framed an innocent man for the murder of a prostitute in rural Ireland in 1940. The man, Harry Gleeson, was a farmer and he was hanged at Mountjoy Prison the following year. His story has been recounted in Marcus Bourke's 1993 non-fiction book Murder at Marhill: Was Harry Gleeson Innocent?
Gébler's dramatic retelling of invents is less about Gleeson and more about the murder victim, Moll McCarthy, who was found lying in a field with two fatal shotgun wounds — in fact, one side of her face had been blown away.
The author is careful to state in his Afterword that his fictionalised version is a mix of "factual content with a great body of invented speculative material". He has used key dates and events, the topography, some lines from police interviews and court cases but everything else comes entirely from his imagination.
And what an imagination it is. Moll "Foxy" McCarthy is a wonderfully realised character: a woman from the wrong side of the tracks, desperate to be loved and wanted, who finds the only way she can survive is to charge men for sexual favours. Her "fee" is not necessarily money, but anything to keep her tribe of illegitimate children — she had seven by seven different men — clothed and fed.
He drove away. She carried the potatoes inside. As a rule when one of her callers gave her a gift she was happy — above all if it was food because that meant a feed for the children and that was great. She always got a good feeling when she filled their bellies and there was only one feeling she knew to beat it and that was the feeling she had gotten when her visitors had told her that they liked or even loved her and they would leave their wives and families and marry her and even though none ever had and even though she knew deep down that they would not do what they said she had always believed them at the moment they had said these things and then she was happy and trusting and certain until they broke the terrible news that the relationship was over and they said that they were not going to marry her, let alone see her again.
Slow-building momentum
The story is told from the viewpoint of Moll McCarthy's grandson, Hector, who wants to "tell the whole truth". "Still, even if this were a novel, would you believe it?" he writes.
The narrative takes a long time to build up, because it starts with the life of Moll's mother — also a prostitute — before the focus shifts to Moll. And Gébler's prose, while understated and journalistic, is rich in detail. He is particularly good at capturing the period detail and the social mores of the time. (I should point out that commas are not his strong point — this lends the prose a kind of breathy, almost emphysemic, quality, as the section quoted above clearly illustrates.)
But there is a purpose to this careful and painstaking analysis of two women (and the men entangled in their lives), because it enables the author to draw a warm and empathetic portrait of those many might judge — and condemn — rather more harshly. And it shows that no matter how people choose to live their lives no one deserves to meet their end in such a brutal and untimely manner.
Gébler's greatest achievement is showing the way in which Moll was being manipulated by the people around her — she had become an unwitting pawn in a dangerous game involving the IRA and the police — but he does so with effortless restraint. Indeed, this expertly paced book is not so much an examination of a crime, but a fascinating look at Irish social history at a time when no one quite knew who to trust.
An extraordinary novel about a miscarriage of justice
I read this novel with a slow-simmering anger: anger at the way Moll, as a woman, never had a chance to make something of herself; anger that she paid the ultimate price for this; anger that the authorities got away with murder; and anger that an innocent man was hanged for something he didn't do.
The Dead Eight is an extraordinary novel in all senses of the word. In his attempt to expose a miscarriage of justice in the Irish judicial system and explain how it came about, including the motives by all those involved, Gébler has crafted a genuinely moving, humane and important novel.
On Wednesday we will find out if it has won the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year for which it has been shortlisted. I think it deserves to do so — although it will be a close call with Anne Enright's The Forgotten Waltz.

Welcome to the Dominican's Department of Nursing. We offer the opportunity to enter into a versatile and rewarding career as a generalist (BSN) in acute care, palliative care, hospice care, community/public health, school-based health, nursing informatics, nursing education, nursing leadership and often entrepreneurial enterprises. Our goal is to prepare individuals who can serve the health care needs of people today and tomorrow.
The baccalaureate nursing program is an intensive educational program that begins in the first semester sophomore year with courses such as health assessment, fundamentals of nursing, pathophysiology and pharmacology I. At program completion, students will have completed 1200 hours in clinical (acute care and community settings across the Bay Area), developed life-long friendships with a diverse student body and they will have cared for people from all walks of life. Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCLEX exam which provides licensure to practice the profession of nursing.
The Department of Nursing continues to evolve to meet the needs of people we work with and are responsible for. We have initiated opportunities for students to participate in faculty-led international clinical learning experiences, usually 2-4 weeks in duration in Guatemala, Spain, Sweden, Uganda, and soon in Taiwan. Our students are women and men who represent many faiths, ethnic groups and geographical regions. All wish to make a difference in the lives of others.

Yes. I'm at that stage where I want to tell everyone that I am questioning. Not literally everyone, but my friends. All of them. While I realise that it is good to tell a few close friends, I have told like six people over the past five months. Today spur of the moment blurted it out to a friend. She won't tell anyone, but what if she does? At some point I am going to tell someone who will turn out not to accept it or, worse, will tell other people. Aargh.
Basically, I have become a bit of a blabbermouth about the issue.
Is it common? Anyone had this sudden urge?
Hm...It's odd that you would come out to your friends as questioning. Most people wait until they have it totally figured it out, but if it makes you feel better then by all means go for it.
Coming out to your friends is a great way to figure out who your true friends are. If they really value you as a friend, they will accept it. If they can't accept it, then they're not a good friend, it's their loss, and it has nothing to do with you.
If they tell other people, so what? You're coming out as questioning, so people aren't likely to make a huge deal out of it as much as they might if you were coming out as completely gay. If it happens that people hear about you questioning and they judge you, you have to be prepared for that and learn to deflect all of the bullshit. So people may judge you. If they have a problem with it, then that's their own issue and not yours. If you're willing to hate someone so strongly then you must hate yourself.
I told them because it doesn't seem as if I'm going to know for sure anytime soon at all. Initially didn't tell anyone for a very long time. But now suddenly want to tell everyone.
Yeah well, it's true that I have found out who my true friends are...but then, they could be totally accepting of that stuff, but aren't very good friends otherwise. So it's not exactly a guarantee.
I'm just not ready for random people to know, yet, I guess. I will just have to hope they keep shut, or that the fact that school is ending will make sure that people have better stuff to think about :P
...would be to share your inner thoughts/feelings/emotions only with those who you're confident will react supportively --- and, hopefully, by doing so your bonds with them will likely be enhanced.
If you do not feel a desire for greater closeness with your confidant, the chances of its backfiring are very real...
Well, sure, the people that I've told have thus far proven to be trustworthy...I guess I should just cool my heels for a bit, though.

"We want to make aviation more accessible and affordable to everyone, whatever their aircraft needs are," said Steven Allen, CEO of Premier Group Inc.
Allen said he grew up in the aviation business from day one.
"My father, Steve Allen, founded Premier Group in 1976," he said. "Right out of high school, I was working for Premier Group and attending college. I took over full-time as president in 2005."
Allen said when he took over as president, his whole goal was to expand to a larger market, with larger aircraft and international business.
"Premier Group has always been in the sales, acquisitions and brokerage of aircraft," he said. "We deal with aircraft from single-engine piston to twin turbine all the way through light, mid, large and x-large aircraft. We do it all—we are a one-stop jet shop."
Allen said Premier Group is growing.
"Barry Lambert, COO and director of Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions, joined in 2010 and does a lot of the research, sales and acquisitions," he said. "Ryan Waguespack recently came on board to handle the merger and partnership with Corporate Flight Management."
Allen said the partnership with Corporate Flight Management out of the Nashville/Smyrna area, will allow both companies to offer charter plane services on demand.
"We want to offer aviation that is affordable for owners," he said. "The owners can add their plane to our charter program to help offset the cost of aircraft ownership. Our crews would operate the plane, and we can do all maintenance in-house. If you need it, you call us and we give you the hourly rate and take care of everything. All you have to do is show up."
Allen said they want to offer flights from cities including Nashville, Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Destin, Pensacola and the panhandle and add more as feasible.
"We also hope to offer individual seat charters in the future, and branch out to other services as well as the business grows," he said.

Palm Springs , California

Concierge.com's insider take:
Pricey new boutique hotels may be getting all the attention, but the cheap and chic Chase has quietly become one of the hottest tickets in town. The mid-century motel, formerly Holiday House (a glamorous retreat for Hollywood royalty), has a quaint old-California vibe. Just one block off the main Palm Canyon drag, it features 26 large, blond-wood rooms with comfy contemporary furnishings, free breakfast, Wi-Fi, and full kitchens or kitchenettes. The heated saltwater pool is a popular hangout, as are the shuffleboard deck and courtyard BBQ grill. Reserve early—this place is always sold out.

My school is nice so we had yesterday (the day before finals started) off to study. I just looked down at my desk, which I put a paper blotter thing on to doodle, and realized that over the course of the day I had written my crush's name ten times. She has an amazing name.
I actually got a lot done, though. Re-wrote an entire essay on Life of Pi, a book that I only liked the first half of, and made sure I knew what to do on my Bio final today, which was remarkably simplistic.
I miss her.

"It's nice to know that what you're doing is making a difference in someone's life," said Katie Doyle, a Desert Mission Food Bank volunteer for the last six years.
The retired nurse used to check on the development of premature infants once they got home. For the last six years, she has run the register and helped folks seeking emergency food boxes at the Food Bank at 9229 N. Fourth St., Phoenix.
This article appears in the May - June 2013 edition of HealthBeat, John C. Lincoln's free health newsletter.
» See the current issue
"I wanted to do something meaningful with my life," she said about her volunteer decision. "When I'm at the Food Bank, I realize that there but for the grace of God go I."
One of approximately 130 volunteers, she watches their numbers drop each summer as snowbirds return home and residents vacation.
Meanwhile, those in need continue to stream in the doors.
"We started 2013 helping an average of 375 families a day," said Food Bank Director Sharon Pierson. "If we stay on that trajectory, we'll need 10 percent more volunteers this summer."
The same goes for donations of food and cash. The recession didn't discriminate when it came to hardship. Food Bank clients range from those with low incomes to laid-off college graduates to individuals who formerly lived in wealthy suburbs.

Linebacker and fullback Kalondra McKenzie doesn't make excuses for the team's horrendous performance. "I understand what you're saying, Coach," she says. "But y'all don't play. We play, and we didn't execute tonight."
Outside the locker room, Bethel's four-year-old son Myles waits for her to emerge. He is wearing a black T-shirt with a picture of his mother in uniform and the phrase "My mommy ballin'!"
When she comes out of the locker room, Myles asks, "Mommy, did you win?"
"No, we lost," the single mom says.
"Again?" Myles asks incredulously.
"Damn, even my git is givin' me a hard time about losing," Bethel grouses.
The Fury's loss to Atlanta drops the team to 1-2 for the 2008 campaign. And it doesn't get any easier. Up next: the Dallas Diamonds, who happened to demolish Atlanta 38-17.
Miami, Dallas, and Atlanta compete in the Independent Women's Football League, which also includes the Fury's in-state rivals the Orlando Mayhem and the Palm Beach Punishers. Since 1998, the year before the Fury's inaugural season, the league has expanded from 14 teams to 41 nationwide.
The women playing in the semipro IWFL are not paid. "We do it for the love of the game," explains 27-year-old Dixon, who, in addition to playing quarterback, co-owns the Fury with friend and retired defensive end Gayla Harrington.
In its nine years, the team has had a difficult time building the kind of loyal fan base — not to mention corporate sponsorships — that come easily for more successful teams such as the Xplosion and the Diamonds. "We really don't have any major sponsors," Harrington admits. "So it is harder for us to cover costs such as travel for away games." Says Dixon: "It's still hard finding corporate sponsors. But we have a group of dedicated players who work their butts off."
Every IWFL player is responsible for raising $1,000 from individual sponsors to help defray travel costs for away games. "Not every player can come up with the money," Dixon says. "But we still have to find a way to get there. In some cases, players drive their own cars." For its recent away games against Palm Beach and Atlanta, the Fury rented six minivans.
The team has posted winning records in only three of its nine seasons, making the playoffs once, in 2006. That year the team posted a 7-1 regular-season record before losing in the first round to the New York Sharks. But the Fury regressed last season with a 3-5 record, losing its first two games by a combined score of 84-33, as well as losing Dixon to a foot injury. Heading into its last game of the season Saturday, the team's record stands at a dismal 2-4.
Fury assistant coach Benjamin Pierre-Charles attributes the losing record to roster turnover and inexperience. "We have a lot of new girls who are still learning how to play the game," he says. "They don't realize that if the other team scores first, it's not the end of the world. They really get down on themselves."
On and off the field, Dixon is the Fury's soft-spoken general. She stands five feet seven inches tall and sports gold grills on her bottom teeth and tattoos on both upper arms. She is the oldest of four siblings who grew up in the guesthouse of their grandparents' home at NW 50th Street and 33rd Avenue. Her father, a saxophonist for K.C. and Sunshine Band, was hardly around. Her mother abused alcohol and drugs, which forced Dixon to take care of her sister and two brothers, she says.
"My dad was on the road a lot," Dixon says, "while my mom was in and out of jail. There were times we went weeks without electricity. Through it all, me, my brothers, and my sister turned out all right."
Dixon says she was lucky to have teachers and coaches who really cared about her. "My second-grade schoolteacher would always tell me how trouble is easy to get into but hard to get out of," she says. "That stuck with me. Sports kept me busy and kept me in school."
While other six-year-old girls in her Brownsville neighborhood were dressing up dolls, Dixon was in the streets playing football just around the corner from her school, Lorah Park Elementary, on NW 31st Avenue. "I ran at the same pace as the boys in my neighborhood," Dixon recalls.
She played basketball, softball, and volleyball at Olinda Park, on NW 51st Street, and football — safety and wide receiver — for the Northside Optimist Club. "Anonka is a talented, competitive young lady," says Donna Jacobs, a 42-year-old retired police officer who coached Dixon when she was 11 years old. "She and her family struggled growing up, but she always kept up her spirit."
Dixon played girls' varsity basketball at Miami Edison Senior High, but she dropped out after her sophomore year to take care of her sister and brothers. She didn't return to the classroom for more than a year, and received her diploma from Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center.
After coaching girls' basketball in the Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department for 10 years, she returned to Edison in 2000 as an assistant to women's basketball coach Denise Novack. In each of the three years Dixon worked there, Edison went to state final-four tournaments and won the championship twice. "A lot of the kids were hard-core, from the streets and the projects," Novack recalls. "Anonka was good at teaching them the ups and downs of doing right and wrong things."

The Revolutionary Roots of Modern Yiddish, 1903-1917 (2008) by Barry Trachtenberg
Associate Professor of Judaic studies Barry Trachtenberg's The Revolutionary Roots of Modern Yiddish, 1903-1917, examines the impact of the 1905 Russian Revolution on the formation of Yiddish scholarship. At one time viewed as a corrupt form of German that Jews had to abandon, by 1917 Yiddish had become the dominant language of the Russian Jewish press.
Trachtenberg's book reveals how this change in status occurred and discusses the three major figures responsible for its transformation.

Monkey Mind by Tip Toland
Tip Toland's stoneware sculptures are realistic representations of the human form that will leave the viewer to question his or her own reactions to the human body and mind. Toland's work is a reminder that we are constantly revising how we define beauty. An expression of humanity, Toland's sculptures draw us by virtue of the artist's skill but keep us there thanks to our connection.

**Written by Doug Powers
It's certainly not a good sign, at least for 20-point-down governor wannabe Virg Bernero here in Michigan, when you have a rally in a high school gym featuring a former president in a city that allegedly loves him — a week before a major election — and the turnout is horrendous:
While the crowd hoisted signs that stated "Virg Surge," the turnout at the rally was anemic. More than 500 people came to the rally, but the gym at Renaissance High School was only about one-third full, even though Clinton used to command full houses wherever he went, especially in Detroit.
Politician after politician exhorted the crowd to not let the polls keep them from voting on Nov. 2.
Now remember, we're talking about a city that can sell out Detroit Lions games, so this is a bad turnout.
The Dems should have brought the motivational excellence of Jamie Foxx into town, because clearly too many people are exhausted from defending Obama:
Another view:
After the Bernero rally, Clinton spoke at a rally for super-liberal Detroit dinosaur John Dingell and talked about things that make him gag (feel free to write your own joke). I don't know about you, but somebody who's been in Congress for 55 years is what makes me gag.

After many years, I attended a Startup event a couple of weeks ago. It was a simple yet well-orchestrated event with early startups presenting their ideas passionately – each believing that they have the next best thing to change the world.
But lo, when the demos started, I caught myself experiencing a strange mental pattern. With each demo, my mind started rejecting them – finding reasons as to why that idea or product will not succeed. My mind failed to see what these entrepreneurs experienced or wanted the world to experience.
Flashback 15 years ago! I was in their same shoes and same mental state – believed that my idea was the best and I was out to change the world. So what happened here!!!
Thankfully my practice of mindfulness helped saved the night for me. I caught my mind making such judgments and promptly focused on what was driving it to do so. It dawned on me, that my path in life over the past many years had colored my view of the present. The past was controlling my present – experience had made me a skeptic! It gave me the insight that my experience was a costly tradeoff, and it had robbed me of wisdom and many vital aspects that were integral to my enjoying the present:
- The Idea of Possibility: One of the key strengths we all have as a rookie is the thought that whatever we think is a possibility. I still remember starting out as an inexperienced sales person in my 20s – trying to sell my startup idea to companies. At that time, the thought that whatever I was doing was an impossibility never arose. It was during that time, that my most innovative ideas came to fruition! Unorthodox partnerships, innovative bootstraps, and marquee clients. During all those years, never was there a thought nor a whisper that the endeavor we were after was a fool's dream. Such was the openness of inexperience!
- The Naiveté of Ability: A fresh kid out of school with a few years of corporate experience and no family business background in startups! That should have convinced any right-minded person that we were punching above our weight. No idea of managing people, let alone clients and finances. But interestingly, the lack of baggage or ability turned out to be a fertile ground for exploring new strengths. That's when I figured out that my ability to ideate, connect and communicate was a key strength that I had overlooked all this life. This experience gave me the confidence to acknowledge the abilities that were buried deep within me. Like they say, a blank page s the best way to start a story. And for me the naive assumptions about my abilities allowed me to discover who I am and what good lies buried within me.
- The Presence of "NO-Fear": I wish I could stand here and say that the venture went on to become a flourishing success. It definitely had its great moments (maybe even days:), but inexperience took its toll and it was shuttered in a few years. But in that failure, I learnt my biggest lesson – that I was not afraid to fail. In fact even today, that experience stands amongst my best in life – all the way from the people I met, the things I learnt and the roads I traveled. In all my years of corporate life post that, i haven't been able to replicate the learning I have had in that few years of starting up.
An important learning is that when we step out of our comfort zone and forget who we are, that's when we give ourselves room to discover who we can be! The startup may not have been a success by traditional metrics, but for me, it was what defined my outlook in life and created a pivotal experience for what I am today!
As I stand here today, i am very grateful over the past few years of mindfulness practice that i have been able to discover the wisdom of "inexperience" And can only hope that i don't let experience rob me of my possibility, ability and no-fear whenever I embark on anything new in life! Or to paraphrase Shunryu Suzuki – Begin each day with a Beginners Mind!

The memorable moments of Dewayne Wise
June, 30, 2012
Patrick Dorsey | ESPN.com
Dewayne Wise. Is he the most interesting career .219 hitter in the world?
He just might be. Now, we don't know all of the career .219 hitters in the world (note: he was at .219 before Saturday afternoon's game), but we do know Wise this week made more news than a lot of history's light-hitting outfielders ever do.
And luckily for us, much of this news was of the visual variety.
Like that umpire-fooling, non-catch catch, as discussed above by Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith and Jay Crawford and seen from some more angles here:
AP Photo/Kathy WillensYeah, he didn't make the catch.
Tim Farrell/US PresswireWise's teammates, however, sure were happy with the result.
Wise then took the mound Friday night, recording the final two outs -- in just seven pitches, with no walks or hits allowed -- in the New York Yankees' 14-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Brad Penner-US PRESSWIREWise, a lefty, fared better than some other position players-turned-pitchers (say, Jose Canseco).
Speaking of White Sox, that was where Wise made his first big Mark. As in, preserving Mark Buehrle's perfect game with the most amazing of ninth-inning, home-run-robbing grabs. (And yes, this one was legit.)
Jerry Lai/US Presswire

Wise also has broken the hearts of future teammates, as seen here when he forced Mariano Rivera into a blown save while with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Wise seems to have a knack for good fortune. Just watch this play while he was with the Marlins, when he fell on his face while rounding third -- only for a bad throw to allow him to score anyway:
Through it all -- and by it all, we mean six major league teams and several minor league stints -- Wise just has kept making catches.
AP Photo/John FroschauerThis one came with the Marlins, robbing Seattle's Franklin Gutierrez of a hit in June 2011.
... and making opposing fans mad, like this guy:
Oh, and he gave us this photo, with him and ex-teammate Clay Hensley. So there's that.

I was always told that trans-lingual comedy films are never funny. That if you're not Chinese, well you're not even going to crack a smile. Well they've obviously never seen this film. Made in Hong Kong, "Gai tung aap gong" is absolutely one of the best comedy films I have ever seen. Michael Hui, a legendary comedy star in Hong Kong, plays a character Ah Hui, who runs a traditional HK Duck shop. Things are going well until a fast-food store by the name of "Danny Chicken" opens up across the street and begins to draw the crowds away. For Ah Hui, this means war! Such scenes as Ah Hui sneaking into Danny Chicken dressed as an Indian woman, the Chicken and Duck mascot brawl, the James Bond-style investigation of the "secret ingredients", and the Danny Chicken training class are, in my opinion, all-time comedy classics.
I suppose you could argue that this movie relies on an extremely silly
and a great deal of stupid, almost juvenile, jokes. And I suppose this is
true... but there are so *many* of the jokes, and they're all so
It's a wonderful movie, watchable over and over, and superior to just about
all of the Hollywood comedies of late. This, and "The Private Eyes", are
also great examples of Hong Kong movies which are very accessible and
entertaining to audiences worldwide, without compromising their own
Chinese aspects.
The "Chicken and Duck Talk" was one of the classic films produced by
Hong Kong's film industry in its heydays from 1980 to 1995. The story
itself is simple enough: an old mom-and-pop restaurant suddenly faces a
new flashy competition in the form of a fast food store, and Michael
Hui as the owner of the restaurant struggled but succeeded in winning
the battle for business after reimaging his business. On a purely
entertainment level, Michael Hui with his side-slap comedy skills,
entertain audiences with various hyperbolic acts, which should keep the
audience entertained on a bored night. This is a perfectly legitimate
perspective to view the film but it misses the deeper theme.
Underneath the comedic acts, Hui managed to convey the concept of no
matter how good traditional ideas/things are, if you can't market them
by making them look pleasing and attractive to bells-and-whistles
obsessed shallow modern/postmodern generations, you stand no chance
against competitors that are all-show-but-no-depth. If you managed to
get this point, congratulations, you are watching the film at a deeper
level than 98% of Hong Kong's population, who by and large have failed
to appreciate the themes beyond the general concept of good guys
overcoming baddies.
And yet another deeper theme that has only gradually started to be
appreciated in the early 21st century is the theme of traditional
mom-and-pop businesses full of sentimental attachments versus the
efficient but heartless modern enterprises. It may not be a wholly
accurate depiction by Hui after all - there are plenty of cold
heartless tyrants amongst mom-and-pop shops in Hong Kong and also
plenty of good multinational companies, but it does give us pause to
consider whether we have sacrificed our interpersonal relationships for
the sake of modern developments, and whether this must follow the waves
of globalization. This theme is still far too radical and anathema for
a vast majority of Hong Kong people even 20 years on, who worship at
the altars of "economic development above all" and the "out with the
old, in with the new" mentality, and as far as I know the film pundits
who have raised this point are either from the West or Taiwan.
All this is not surprising if you are aware Hui holds a Bachelor of
Social Science degree in Sociology from the Chinese University of Hong
Kong before he entered the entertainment industry. He knows how to
document the good and ills of a society and offer commentaries via
visual media. Will the film's deeper themes be appreciated in Hong Kong
one day? Hopefully so, if Hong Kong wants to regain its soul.
Michael Hui is a veritable institution in the Hong Kong film industry. He single-handedly (ok, with his brothers Ricky and Sam) resuscitated the Cantonese film after decades of neglect owing to the Mandarin Shaw Brothers company's popularity. His films in the 1970s are classics. But this film, made at the height of his powers in 1988, must be one of the all-time finest comedies to come out of Hong Kong film industry. He plays the miserly proprietor of a BBQ Duck restaurant facing stiff competition from a new chicken fast-food joint. The gags are really superb stuff, including a dance routine with rats and cockroaches et al. There are too many to note. I have never laughed out so loud at a Hong Kong comedy and it must ranks as the best until Carol Cheng's 1990 "Her Fatal Ways". Most notably "Chicken and Duck Talk" has aged gracefully too, as Michael has himself.
This is another fun Hong Kong comedy starring Michael Hui and Ricky Hui
(their younger Sam Hui has a cameo appearance). Here, Hui (Michael Hui)
runs a restaurant with a tasty roast duck recipe. However, his
employees and customers have to endure the a run-down and unsanitary
looking restaurant - Hui's way of cutting maintenance cost. Hui might
have to rethink his strategy when an American-style fast-food
restaurant opens across the street.
It's a nice little movie with some laughable moments and decent acting,
with Michael and Ricky delivering their unique comedy brand that will
sure entertain the audience. Sylvia Chang, Lowell Lo, Wing-Cho Yip and
Kai-Nam Ho all make a great team in making the plot pretty exciting by
making the audience guess how they will be able to pull off competing
with the popular fast food restaurant.
The movie is not as suspenseful or funny as previous Hui Brothers films
like The Contract and Security Unlimited, but it's still great comedy
that surpasses many of today's films of the 00s and on.
Grade B+
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am so disappointed that I can't buy a copy of this film. SBS Australia did an excellent sub-titled version which has made for the local popularity of this film. Only in a HK comedy would a cockroach pass for a Chinese date greedily munched under the health inspector's nose or caged rats get surreptitiously sneaked into a rival's restaurant. Gross-out is the order of the day. And this is all in good fun. The traditional Chinese-style promotional duck suit is really subtle comedy and a total delight to watch in all-out bad Kung Fu war with the chicken-suited rival tout. Is a shining clean Western fast-food joint the ant's pants and bee's knees? Not if you're after the true Cantonese dining experience, it's not. Love it! Please find a way to bring this one to DVD.

I have some doors that are cracked/chipped and I want to paint over them. What can I do to fix the chips and paint the doors? The images are attached. Thanks!
The last two pics look like water damage....you will need to stop the water from splashing on the doors or it will do it again after you patch it.... first pic looks like some chaulk or painters putty will do the trick.....second pic chaulk if the wood is not rotten ....if rotten dig the soft wood out and use a exterior grade spackling....also use the spackling for the last pic,
The first picture to me looks like your paint line cracked between the doors sile and the molding that holds in the pane of glass. Just sand it with a drywall sponge with an angle on one end and repaint. It cracked because someone did not cut out the paint line between the glass and the molding, wood expands and contracts glass does not. I agree with the water damage in the second picture and you will always be fighting with that door because someone install the outside patio to high. There needed to be a min. of 4" from the threshold and the patio. There also needs to be a gutter over that area to reduce splash back. If waters already wicked up that high and on the back side you can bet that there's more hidden damage to the door inside of it and under it. What we do when we have to deal with this situation is replace the whole door as a unit. But this time the door gets sat in a sill pan, the door will be fiberglass and I order it with vinyl jams and vinyl brick molding. The last picture looks like a cheap louon door that's delaminated. You can try patching it with Burmans Water putty or bondo, sanding it and priming and painting or just replace the whole door panel for about $25.00. If it was mine and I wanted to dress it up I buy a new prehung raised panel door for less then $75.00.

Apple-Glazed Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
From Food & Wine
These sticky, apple-scented ribs are cooked in the oven, then finished on the grill. They're a simpler version of a recipe by champion pit master Chris Lilly, who cooks his ribs entirely on the grill. To follow Lilly's example, use a thermometer to keep the temperature at a steady 250 degrees and wrap the ribs in foil after adding the apple cider mixture.

A lot of people are very upset about what televangelist Pat Robertson said earlier this month. The 700 Club's leading man was answering a viewer's question: a friend experiencing difficulty in his marriage as a result of Alzheimer's wanted to know if it was okay to continue seeing another woman since "his wife as he knows her is gone."
Listen to Robertson's response in the clip below, starting around the 50-second mark:
Of course, social media alarms were sounded immediately, sparking a firestorm of position statements from any and every Alzheimer-related organization out there, along with scathing remarks and passionate diatribes from individuals around the world who took great offense to Robertson's words.
Each of these groups and individuals have the right to strongly disagree with his assessment of Alzheimer's as "a kind of death", thereby excusing well spouses from their marital vows. And while I completely agree with most of the groups and organizations that rallied against his answer, which was misleading, insensitive, and incorrect (in terms of the person with the disease being, essentially, dead), Robertson does have the right to his opinion too.
I am not advocating divorce or infidelity in the case of a marriage impacted by Alzheimer's. However, it is a complex issue all-around, and those of us who are not experiencing a relationship tested by this disease have no right to judge another's decision, even if they choose divorce.
If you ask me, the most unfortunate outcome here is that a person of Robertson's influence has both perpetuated a myth (people with Alzheimer's are "not there") and in essence given the green light to those spouses/partners who trust his stance on moral issues to disregard the "in sickness and in health, for better or for worse" clause they agreed to when they wed.
It also saddens me to know that still so many people in our country are ill-informed about Alzheimer's disease, that it's still a generally-held assumption that those with Alzheimer's are not aware of the losses at work, that they aren't more terrified than their concerned family members about being trapped in their own bodies.
No matter how much science and data is out there, I strongly believe that we can never assume that people with Alzheimer's are oblivious to what is happening to them. They may not be able to communicate as they did before, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying to, that they don't have something to say, that they are just a shell with no emotions or feelings or comprehension. In fact, these "sixth" senses may be sharpened intensely as a result. Do you think that spouse whose husband is dating again won't sense that something is different about her husband, even if she can't say something about it?
Let's hope that this can of worms Robertson opened can still work for good, opening up needed discussions and dialogues in homes, churches, neighborhoods, Twitter chats, and other online/ community forums across the country, generating greater awareness (especially among those in positions of leadership) of the true effects of and challenges presented by Alzheimer's.
And instead of lashing out at Robertson (counter-productive, really), how about reaching out to someone you know who is struggling with this very issue in their marriage? Knowing someone cares just might make a bigger difference than the televangelist's off-base comment.

What makes ICT a critical topic in today's climate, and why is fluency in it essential?
What outcomes are needed? That is, how can ICT fluency be defined in practice?
What is currently being taught or learned?
How are the outcomes being measured?
What changes may be needed in the original ICT fluency framework of Being Fluent?
The next five chapters of this report summarize those five sessions. The questions that begin each chapter capture the major themes that were discussed during the session
Significant work on ICT education remains to be done, especially in high schools. By identifying what is known and unknown about the acquisition of ICT fluency during the high school years, the workshop was designed to move this work forward. The hope of its organizers and participants is that the workshop and this report will inform the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies, as well as policy makers, administrators, and faculty in high schools, community colleges, and undergraduate settings, as they consider ways of enhancing the ICT fluency of high school graduates.


text: Tilapia are freshwater fish, native to North Africa and introduced throughout much of Asia, Central and South America and the United States. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch says, "Tilapia is a good candidate for farming, as it provides more protein than it takes to raise it. This is in contrast to some other fish raised in farms, such as salmon or tuna." Still, farming practices vary wildly. In worst case scenarios, fish cages so crowd production lakes that you can literally walk across them. According to FishChoice.com, a business-to-business online seafood sourcing tool that lists seafood products that meet the sustainability criteria, in China, tilapia is almost always grown in earthen ponds a few feet deep. China is a major supplier of tilapia to North America; this would explain the unfortunate muddy taste of some of the tilapia we've encountered in supermarkets.

Other Things to Try
If you have other resistors and capacitors available, try (small) increases or decreases in values, and then determine how it affects the time to charge and discharge. The previous Table 103- 1 gives combinations that result in reasonable time constants and serves as a good starting point. Adjust your measurement interval as needed.
Use a current and voltage sensor that displays these parameters as a function of time on a computer. A combination voltage/current sensor (part number PS-2115) is available from PASCO that displays both parameters simultaneously in DataStudio software.
Make a graph of voltage (or current) versus time for your discharge data with voltage on a linear scale and time on a logarithmic scale. Use an exponential curve fit to an Excel scatter plot to find the argument of the exponent. Compare that with –1/RC.
The Point
A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy. The rate of charging and discharging depends on the size of the capacitor and the resistor it is charging or discharging through. The bigger the capacitor and the resistor, the longer these processes take. The charging and discharging is an exponential function of time that approaches a saturation value.

Cohen.
"Nehama Leibowitz, the master teacher, has become a larger than life figure, a sort of celebrity," said Cohen. "Yet Nehama regarded herself as a simple teacher, who sought to guide others in their study of Tanakh [Bible]." Read the rest of this entry…

During the holiday season, many of us will be watching our favorite holiday movies for the umpteenth time. Some of our favorites (according to Gayot, Moviefone and Yahoo are Home Alone, A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and It's a Wonderful Life. Most holiday movies seem to have relatives as central characters and family gatherings as a major theme. One of the reasons that holiday movies may be so popular is they remind us of our own wishes and fears.

Popcorn Playhouse and Other Memories of CFRN
For some reason I was recently flashing back to the Edmonton TV show Popcorn Playhouse (as were you obviously). We loved/hated it but watched it religiously.
It featured Klondike Eric interviewing 5 and 6-year old kids, in the belief that whatever comes out of a child's mouth will be funny or adorable - in the Art Linkletter mold I guess.
Often you would see such journalism feats as these questions: "How old are you?", "What's your name?", or "What revolting object have you just plucked out of your nostril?"
The highlight of the show was when either a kid licked the microphone, or when some kid shoveling sand into the 'gold mine' struck it rich with 5 or more foil wrapped coins.
It was only recently I wondered where the parents of these cretins were at the time of the shows airing - were they just behind the cameras? Or were they holed up in a room somewhere, pounding back scotch and inhaling unfiltered cigarettes with wild abandon?
I also liked the worst puppet in creation, that being Muskeg the Moose - a moose head hanging on the wall with a string tied to his chin ("And the Emmy for Set Decoration goes to..."). I think he told riddles or something.
As a grownup I can feel the pain of the talent involved. The poor hosts must have become alcoholic wretches after that much exposure to that many children.
One of my deeper regrets in life was never being a guest on this show. I think it should be resurrected just for that purpose someday, now that we could appreciate it.
I may be mixing memories here, but I think the Great Gaby Haas and the Ipecac Orchestra would sometimes entertain on this show. You haven't lived until you've rocked to Gaby and his accordion stylings of Beatles tunes believe me.
The only other thing from CFRN TV I recall were the news broadcasters.
There was the goofy-voiced Bruce Hogle, the news director, and also Sid (Syd?) Lancaster, the anchor who smoked. You could see his cigarette sitting there on the desk, smoke swirling upwards, as he gamely tried to introduce news stories.
TV really was dreadful back then wasn't it? How could we ever get excited about a TV camera aimed at a radio announcer reading the news and smoking? Well we did, and it was wildly entertaining let me tell you.
I wonder if his news copy ever caught fire. Try THAT Entertainment Tonight...

HI Dave,
I remember Popcorn Playhouse, Muskeg, Eric Neville ( the long-suffering host) and the rest of the CFRN gang very well ... Sid Lancaster was my dad. He was definitely 'old school' when it came to broadcasting, I agree ... but such were the times out here too. Dad began in radio, in Toronto, and also worked with Leslie Neilsen, and studied with Lorne Greene (of Bonanza fame) at the Pasadena Playhouse. Long time ago. Thanks for the memories! - December 20, 2011 at 12:20 PM

The governor's budget is out and for the first time in years, California is expecting a multibillion dollar tax surplus. The governor is proposing a $8 billion in increased spending, with $670 million earmarked to expanded benefits under Medi-Cal.
The expanded benefits include mental health, substance use disorder, adult dental, and specialized nutrition services.
In his proposal, Brown noted that Medi-Cal is the "budget's second largest program." In keeping with his approach to being fiscally prudent, Brown included a warning about health care inflation and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. From his budget: Continue reading

That's Not Home LyricsArtist: Glen CampbellAlbum: Wichita Lineman At seven she'll throw a kiss towards the door and smile at my empty chair For there's nothing there for a man to cling to nothing to pull me back home Only a girl that's a stranger to me breathing on flames that are gone Home isn't where I hang up my hat every night And home isn't anything like cold arms holding me tight that's not right And home isn't some place to go just to feel all alone that's not home Maybe she might never see me again maybe that's the best way I'll join myself to some south blowing wind leave her to find her own way And maybe I'll find home someday
