President of Russia awarded Artistic Director of the Alexandrinsky Theater, People's Artist of Russia Valery V. Fokin with a Certificate of Merit for "The Great Merits in the Development of National Culture and Fruitful Activity of Many Years" (Verdict № 762-rp of the President of Russia of November 22, 2011)
On November 9, 2011, at 17.00, a personal exhibit Dante Inferno of the extraordinary theater artist Michael Platonov will open at the small exhibit hall of Anna Akhmatova's Apartment Museum in the Fountain House. The exhibit will show improvisations inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. The idea of the exhibit appeared last year: to celebrate the artist's 60th birthday. However, for a number of reasons this project had to be postponed. Michael Platonov has worked as industrial designer at the Alexandrinsky Theater since 1978; later on, in 1982, he started teaching at the Production Department of the St. Petersburg State Theater Academy.
On November 23, 2011, an Alexandrinsky Theater Director and founder and artistic director of the formal theater Andrey Moguchy will celebrate his 50th birthday. Andrey Moguchy is one of the key figures of the modern Russian theater. Last season, a repeated incumbent of the Golden Soffit and Golden Mask theater awards, Andrey Moguchy was honored with the International Stanislavsky Theater Award in the nomination "Director's Mastership" and the European New Theater Reality Award for the last years' jobs. The Formal Theater he had founded in the early 1990s united together dozens of talented artists, actors, and musicians; from a semi-amateurish theatric laboratory it turned into one of the brightest and nontrivial collectives carrying out experimental quests in the field of stage forms and languages.
On November 20, 2011, Distinguished Artist of Russia Svetlana Sheichenko will celebrate her Jubilee. Svetlana Sheichenko, one of the best students of Vasily Merkuriev and Irina Meyerhold, belongs to that Alexandrinsky's galaxy whose biographies were entirely connected with the oldest Russian theater. She was invited to the company in 1973, right after her graduation from the institute. She debuted in the role of Victoria in A. Stein's romantic drama "No Stars in the Night" (1974). The nimble, graceful and knowing biomechanics actress was immediately introduced to the performances of current repertoire, where she had played a whole series of bit-part roles; in 1979, Svetlana Sheichenko was introduced to A. Arbuzov's performance "The Old Arbat's Fairy Tales" in the role of Viktosha, which she had played more than 100 times.
Today, November 17, 2011, the 2010 / 2011 season's nominees of the GOLDEN MASK, Russian national award and festival, were announced at the press-conference in Moscow. Alexandrinsky Theater performances: Andrey Moguchy's "The Fortune" ("The Big Form Drama Performance" nomination) and K. Filippov's "Your Gogol" ("The Smaller Form Drama Performance" nomination) are among the nominees. Producers of these performances, Artistic Director of the Alexandrinsky Theater Valery Fokin and Director Andrey Moguchy, were nominated in "The Best Director's Job" nomination. Actress Yanina Lakoba, who plays the role of Mitil in "The Fortune," was nominated for the award in "The Best Female Role" section, while Distinguished Artist of Russia Igor Volkov, who played the role of Gogol, was named in "The Best Male Role" nomination.
On October 26 and 27, 2011, a tour of the Alexandrinsky Theater will take place on the stage of the Polish National Narodowy Theater. W. Shakespeare's "Hamlet" directed by Valery Fokin will be presented. European public has already had a chance to get introduced to the Alexandrinsky version of the tragedy: last week, "Hamlet" was shown in Austria, on the stage of one of the oldest European theaters - the famous Viennese Burgtheater. The performance caused big interest and was warmly accepted by the public and theater critics of Vienna; the latter pointed out the sharp actuality of Fokin's interpretation of the play.
On October 8, 2011, the first night of Herik Ibsen's play "HEDDA GABLER" directed by famous theater director Kama Ginkas will take place at the Alexandrinsky Theater. Despite the fact that many plays of the great Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen had been performed on the Alexandrinsky Stage since the 1880s, "Hedda Gabler" has never been produced here. Vs. Meyerhold was looking for the keys to this very intricate play about an extravagant and uncompromising idealist yet before he came to the Imperial Theaters: he had produced a performance for Vera Komissarzhevskaya which caused a lot of discussions and arguments. The play proved to be very difficult for modern directors as well, but surprisingly continues to attract their attention. For Kama Ginkas, direction of "Hedda Gabler" is a double return.
On October 10, 2011, research-to-practice conference on the "Theater Heritage and Modernity" timed to coincide with the shared celebration of the 255th jubilee of the Russian Academy Pushkin Drama Theater (the Alexandrinsky Theater) and the St. Petersburg State Theater Library will start at the Tsar's Lobby of the Alexandrinsky Theater.
On September 15, 2011, the Alexandrinsky Theater will start its new – 256th – season. For the sixth time in a row, the start of the season coincides with the opening of the International Alexandrinsky Theater Festival. A Theodoros Terzopoulos Master Class: "Voice and Body in the Theatre of Ancient Greece" (September 15, 16, and 17) will set the Festival in motion. This year, one of the oldest European theaters, the famous Burgtheater of Vienna will take part in the Festival. The theater will present "War and Peace," a Matthias Hartmann performance after the first part of L.Tolstoy's novel (September 29 and 30).
On August 30, 2011, on the eve of the 256th season, an award ceremony took place at the troupe meeting; a number of actors and employees of the Alexandrinsky Theater were awarded. Deputy of the Plenipotentiary President's Representative in Northwest Federal District Eugene Makarov handed the Order of the President of the Russian Federation on recognition of the Great Merits in the Area of Culture and Fruitful Activities of Many Years to the Alexandrinsky Theater Director Igor Segedi and People's Artist of Russia Nicolay Marton.

From the Publisher
"A creative exploration of the interrelationships between personal identity, religious faith and historical particularity…. Wiebe is…successful in crafting a range of haunting and evocative images."–Mennonite Brethren Herald
"A beautiful, moving book….there is some absolutely lovely stuff here….The descriptions…are marvellous….the book achieves a wonderful cinematic clarity…"
–Mark Sinnett, The Globe and Mail, Saturday, October 27, 2001
"With the audacious confidence of a mature writer, [Wiebe] breathes life into a series of Mennonite characters, who tell their stories from beyond the grave, in the first person and in present tense."
"This is a profoundly serious book. It is a many-voiced testimonial, a discrete series of monologues, and it functions by accumulation, one horrific tale after another, augmenting into a chorus of witnesses…. Sweeter Than All the World is a construct of iron tongs and stone, a testimony to what Italo Calvino called … "the virtues of weight."… [T]his novel deserves respect. It is an important work; a fictional compilation of voices from Mennonite history, and a resonant portrait of a contemporary man inflicted with a chronic (and, it would seem, inherited) sense of brokenness."
–Margaret Sweatman, Ottawa Citizen
"His great strength lies in meticulous research, passion for his subjects, and a powerful narrative sweep….Fascinating."
–Quill and Quire
"Intellectually and psychologically challenging….a difficult exercise is ultimately rewarding….
–Calgary Herald
"A panoramic examination of Mennonite history through the story of one particular family."
–Saskatoon StarPhoenix
"Wiebe is a writer who does his homework…There is much of interest here, unusual and pertinent points of history, and they are vividly revisited…. the book rises to poetic heights as Wiebe's unerring sense of place allows it to soar…"
–London Free Press
"There are breathtaking scenes infused with poignant beauty…"
–Times-Colonist (Victoria)
"Rudy Wiebe has written his epic….richly satisfying and worth reading and pondering again and again."
–Kitchener-Waterloo Record
"Wiebe succeeds in making [history] dramatic, intriguing, romantic and tragic."
–Calgary Herald
Praise for A Discovery of Strangers:
"A work of extraordinary originality and beauty."
–The Globe and Mail
"A pleasure of the first order — the pleasure of true art."
—Edmonton Journal
Praise for Stolen Life:
"So rich...I couldn't put it down."
–Ann-Marie MacDonald
"The most powerful book I've ever read.... Insightful, poetic, gripping."
— The Hamilton Spectator

The Islanders look to rebound from a defeat at home Saturday against Buffalo as they travel to Philadelphia Tuesday night. The Islanders normally don't have a good track record playing in Philly but with a 4-1 win in their last visit they have to be feeling confident heading into this one.
The Islanders are still holding onto some slim playoff hopes and would need a win tonight to keep them alive. Being 10 points out of a playoff spot with 30 games to play isn't an impossible task but points need to be coming in on a consistent pace in order to have a chance. Getting a win tonight against a conference and division opponent would mean a lot.

The New York Islanders went into last night's game looking to pull themselves to a .500 record but failed to do so, squandering a 3-1 first period lead to the Buffalo Sabres and losing by a score of 4-3 in the shootout.
Frans Nielsen would have a three point first period, scoring two goals and adding an assist to help get the Islanders to an early lead despite starting off slow. The Isles were out shot 17-9 in the first period and Al Montoya seemed a little shakey in net. It was only his second start after missing about a month's worth of playing time due to a concussion. His first start was before the All Star break, so it wasn't a surprise that he looked like he needed to shake the rust off. But he would respond well in the second and third periods, continuing to give his team a chance to win the whole night.
"We knew it was going to be a tough weekend," said Montoya after the game. "[There were] huge points on the line. It's unfortunate that we couldn't come out with two points."
The New York Islanders have 34 games remaining on the season, having surpassed the mid-point of the season a few games ago. They currently sit 13th in the Eastern Conference and ten points out of the last and final playoff spot, trailing the Tampa Bay Lightning, Montreal Canadiens, Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils.
With the second half of the year already seven games in, the Isles find themselves in a tight spot. There is still hope that they can compete for a late season rush, hoping to charge their way into the playoffs. However, losing both games to the Leafs this week, only earning one out of possible four points, has hurt their chances drastically. But if the Islanders commit to another second half-season in which they suddenly play their best hockey in the final stages of the year, they might just meet my prediction of falling just short of the post-season between the 9th and 11th spots.
Earlier this week I took a look at the team's forwards and how they have produced so far while considering where they might fit in the team's future.
Well if there is one thing that can be taken away from the Islanders home-and-home series with the Toronto Maple Leafs, it's that the Leafs' entire roster should be considered as finalists for the Lady Byng Trophy that is handed out to the most disciplined player at this year's NHL Awards Ceremony.
Although the whistle was blown against the Leafs after a scuffle in their end erupted after a tussle between Travis Hamonic and Phil Kessel, not once did the Islanders earn a power play tonight to total 120 minutes of hockey without an Islanders man-advantage going back to last night. The Leafs managed to beat the Islanders 4-3 in over time to complete the two-game sweep.
In a 1992 article for The New Yorker, the gifted writer Alec Wilkenson quoted an unnamed goaltender as saying "What other job do you now of where, when you make a mistake, a red light goes on behind you and fifteen thousand people call you a jerk?" Bridgeport Sound Tiger goalie Kevin Poulin is suffering from a rare disorder, an inordinate fear and hatred of red lights.
Poulin has now posted 3 consecutive shutouts, each a 4-0 win for Bridgeport. He has not given up a goal in calendar year 2012, approaching 200 minutes without seeing that hated red light. His first shutout in this impressive streak came on January 2nd, a matinee game at the Webster Bank Arena attended by Garth Show and Charles Wang.
The New York Islanders will take on the Minnesota Wild tonight. The Islanders have been playing well lately, staying in every game they've played since breaking their long losing streak almost a month ago. Despite a 4-0-2 stretch which saw the young Isles climb back up the standings, their most recent games, regardless of their improved play, have not yielded the type of success they have needed in the standings. They have walked away from recent games where 2 points was well within their grasp.
There are many stages to a rebuild, and the Islanders seem to be on the right track for a slow, steady, and successful one. We saw this season during their long losing streak, that unlike last season when they took the ice for each game with a look of despair, that this team comes out of the locker room hungry and expecting to win every time they play.
The next lesson that this young group needs to learn is simple: Finish Games.
The Islanders inability to score with the man-advantage and stay out of the penalty box would be the story for tonight's 3-2 loss to the visiting Dallas Stars. The Isles were 0-3 on the power play, two of which came at crucial moments where they needed to tie the game. Throw in their continuous trips to the sin bin and you have yourself a recipe for a poorly played hockey game.

The Islanders, who are boasting the worst offense in the league with only a dismal 59 goals for (the second worst team is the L.A. Kings with 63), were heavily criticized for one specific thing over the past three months; not scoring enough goals. (Shocking, right?)
After being shutout several times this year, the Isles were becoming a one-trick pony; if the line of Moulson-Tavares-Parenteau wasn't scoring, then there wasn't anything to worry about if you were the opposing team. However, the Isles have been on a recent streak after coming away with points in their past six games played.

The new realities of online retailing require technology that is flexible and scalable
The new realities of online retailing require technology that is flexible and scalable
Two years ago, the online retailing market seemed to be hitting its stride. In mid 2003, sales were on track to hit $54 billion for the year--continuing a string of 25%+ annual growth rates that had been the norm since the dawn of the market eight years earlier. Practices were well established by then and customer satisfaction was high.
But hindsight shows that the market was still developing and only two short years later much of the technology that retailers had implemented is inadequate for the new realities of the marketplace. "E-commerce systems today need to handle a wide range of solutions," says David Fry, president of Fry Inc., web site design, hosting and technology company. "Web sites don`t operate in isolation today; they could need as many as 20 integration points."
Part of the mass market
The new technology requirements are the result of the mainstream adoption of online shopping. "We are way beyond the era of the early adopters when just the Internet savvy consumer was shopping online," says Ruud van Hilten, senior director of Business Consulting Services, of e-commerce technology provider BroadVision Inc. "With the penetration of broadband very deep into European households and building in the U.S., online shopping has now hit the mainstream. We`re part of the mass market."
That move into the mainstream has broad implications for the technology that drives retailers` e-commerce web sites, not the least of which is the ability to create a cross-channel experience. "Shoppers` behavior is substantially different from what it was before," van Hilten says. "People use any channel to interface with the retailer--it`s not Internet only; it`s any channel any time. That forces retailers to tie the channels together more closely than they had to a year or a year and a half ago."
The new retailing reality forces retailers into complex technology management. "One of the biggest changes in recent e-commerce history is that it is no longer feasible for retailers to run their e-commerce applications in a silo," says John Marrah, president of e-commerce software and solutions provider Ecometry Inc. "E-commerce has now become a part of a broader technology footprint, as well as a broader business model. As a result e-commerce requirements have changed over the past two to three years."
And not only have requirements changed, but the technology has failed to keep pace with those changes, meaning that retailers today are at a major crossroads with their technology decisions. "Most of the retailers we talk to are the more sophisticated retailers who have been online since the mid and late 1990s and they are at the end of the commerce platforms that got them into the business," says Jeff Max, CEO of e-commerce platform provider Venda.
Uniting e-commerce, marketing
Among the primary changes that is forcing retailers into technology decisions is the intertwining of e-commerce and marketing, Marrah says. "Retailers are segmenting their customer databases to create extremely targeted campaigns to drive traffic to their web sites," he says. "Using click stream data from the web sites, they get instant feedback on the impact of their marketing activities on traffic and conversions. To improve their profiling, sophisticated retailers analyze the relationships between the targeted segment in a campaign and the pages they viewed and items they bought."
Retailers use that information to create micro-segments of customers and to identify additional cross-sell and upsell opportunities. "As a result, most companies are looking for an integrated analytics and e-marketing capability within their e-commerce platform," he says.
Successful retail sites are thus forced to adopt numerous components that feed into each other and add to the further complexity of web sites. "Web sites cannot be giant monolithic structures any more," Fry says. "They need to adopt a component system. And that in turn means there are many more monitoring points that retailers need to be aware of."
Among the areas that retailers could need expertise in today are messaging interfaces to fulfillment, EDI links to inventory and SOAP interfaces to Amazon.com, if they have a presence at that site, Fry says. "That all adds to the complexity of a web site," he says.
Van Hilten stresses that BroadVision seeks to remove the rigidity from e-commerce systems. "Retail web sites must have agility and be able to launch new applications quickly," he says. "Demand could arise overnight."
Old platforms in a new market
Indeed, says Max, many retailers have sought that flexibility for some time and have failed to find it in their existing e-commerce systems. "Many feel that they`ve spent a tremendous amount of money and the promise of flexibility never came through," he says. "Today, they`re on an antiquated platform in a fast-moving market."
What Venda and most e-commerce technology vendors say they are providing these days is on-demand computing. One of the new technology buzzwords, on-demand computing means that the technology provider hosts the applications and hardware and makes the computing power available to users when demand arises. It also provides automatic technology upgrades. But Max cautions that retailers must make sure they understand which companies offer true on-demand computing and which don`t. "There`s so much noise from competing vendors it can seem overwhelming to make a decision that can affect you for the next five to seven years," he says.
The decisions all come back to the two words that vendors stress these days: flexibility and scalability. "If the tools deliver as promised, merchants will see unbelievable growth in revenue," Max says. "They better decide if the solution they`re choosing can take them there." Further, he adds, retailers need to examine the health of vendors. "They need to determine if the vendor will be there in the future and look at the vendor`s viability and profitability," he says.

Don't surf? Hop on one of our beach cruisers and head along the sand up to the Santa Monica Pier. Or, ride down Venice's Abbot Kinney Blvd (voted the hippest street in America by GQ magazine!) or just take a trip around the Marina del Rey Harbor, there are wonderful self guided walks to take all around us. All of these are listed and on a map found in the apartment . . . or the Venice Canals (yes, they are beautiful!) -- all just steps away.
Located off Washington Blvd. in the Marina amazing restaurants, bars, coffee shops, health food stores, yoga studios, boutiques, thrift stores are a quick 5 - 10 minute walk down the street.
We are 3 short miles to 3rd Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Pier. We are 8 miles to UCLA, and close to major highways that take you to Hollywood, Disneyland, and Downtown LA.
The apartment offers TV, high speed wireless internet, full bath, full kitchen, and balcony over looking our beautiful garden courtyard with a water feature and a pond! We offer 2 car garage parking and bikes for easy access to the beautiful city.
The kitchen offers a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, french press, and all the kitchen supplies you might need. We also have a washer and dryer in our unit! Dining table is great for entertaining and makes an excellent work desk too!
The bedroom offers a very comfortable queen mattress, TV, large dressers and a very spacious walk in closet for your use.
Living room is bright with lots of windows and a beautiful view of the balcony and garden area. There is a large flat screen TV and the sofa reclines into a full size bed.
The balcony is my favorite spot! The patio is lovely. Its kind of like sitting up inside the trees. It offers outdoor table and chairs. BBQ is coming soon!
Guest Access
Guests have access to all the cool amenities our apartment complex has to offer. This includes: pool, jacuzzi, fitness center, tennis courts, dry cleaning services, business center (with computers and printers), sports lounge, and community BBQ area.
Interaction with Guests
I am available by phone, or text, or email for anything you might need during your stay.
Getting around
LAX is only 10-15 minutes away and there's LA public transportation in front of the apartment. Also, during the summer, there's a free beach shuttle that travels around the Marina and to Santa Monica.
Other Things to Note
Please contact us if you have and questions and want to soak up the sun and enjoy life at the beach! We love our apartment and hope you will enjoy it too.
Please be non-smoking.
If you need to smoke there are designated smoking areas outside in the beautiful courtyard.
Please treat the apartment as your own home.
We ask that you do your best to remove your shoes while in the apartment.
Please use locks for the bicycles when taking them out for a spin.
Please take out garbage when leaving-- the chute is by the elevator.
Laura was an excellent host. We contacted her during our stay and she always answered within minutes. Her place is even more beautiful and spacious than in pictures. The kitchen was well equipped, there were lots of towels, plenty of room for our things, she provided bikes and beach chairs, the parking spot was huge (we had a minivan). Check in was easy, she explained everything perfectly. Both the apartment complex and the neighborhood were safe. It is really close to Venice Beach, and we biked to Santa Monica. The complex has a pool, business center and gym which we used! Overall the experience was amazing, we'd definitely recommend Laura's place!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights while we were in between moving places. This apartment was super clean, comfortable and looks exactly as it does in the pictures. The main room is huge and there is plenty of wardrobe space if required. Laura was quick to answers any questions of ours and offered plenty of options to assist us with our needs. This apartment is in a large apartment building which is safe and in a great location by the marina.
Thanks Laura for sharing your apartment. It was great being so close to Venice Beach and of course the apartment was very clean, neat and tidy.
Vi fick en jättebra beskrivning skickad till oss en vecka innan samt bilder, kartor och instruktioner hur vi skulle gå tillväga gällande nycklar etc. Boendet överträffade våra förväntningar, allt var perfekt! Området var mycket trevlig och välskött! Perfekt läge med närhet till Venice, Santa Monica och övriga sevärdheter i LA.
Laura was a great host. We didn't meet, but she provided detailed instructions on accessing the apartment. Place was clean, very spacious and had all the amenities -- it was exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return!
The condo was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean, organized, and beautiful! We were 2 couples and the space felt large enough and having separate entrances to the washroom was perfect! The green sideboard is as fantastic in person as in the photos! Laura was quick to respond and although we didn't meet her in person (it was Thanksgiving day), she was very accommodating and quick to welcome us via text once we got inside. It is about 5 blocks to the beach (an easy walk), and the bikes are handy (although the locks are difficult to maneuver... but they work!). The grounds of the complex are pristine. All in all... I would stay again! Thanks so much Laura!
Laura's place was great...just as advertised. Excellent location just down the road from Venice Beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Does anyone know how to add / find the monthly calander widget?
I have it on my S4 but on the 10.1 tablet all I can find is the S planner app. I have tried using Google calander but it does not give you option to have a month's view as a widget unfortunately (well not that i have found so far).
Does anyone have any ideas?

Artisan: Daniel Nyadedzor
Daniel Nyadedzor has been featured in the San Antonio Express News.
"In 1996, after finishing school and a year's national service, I decided to help my brother who was a carver and had his own shop. I did all his paperwork.
"Initially, the work done did not measure up to internationally accepted standards. Quality control was poor. However, after working with him for a few months I realized the need to incorporate certain measures. After tasking ourselves to reach the international standards, the business grew tremendously. We have been working together all these years.
"We work with a type of hardwood known as sese for carving the masks. There are about twenty people working with us, most of them apprentices. The nature of our work involves the chipping of wood to get a desired figure or shape. It is polished and sandpapered for a smooth and quality object. Red and black emulsion paint is then used for the finish. The image is first sketched on paper though sometimes, our customers also come up with interesting ideas, too.
"Our products are always given the antique finishing, which our customers especially love, and their kind remarks and comments spur us on to do better."

It's pretty cool to see a film you grew up watching a few times in the late 70's and early 80's pop up again thanks to it now being in the public domain and completely uncensored. That said, it's too bad the low-budget cheapie known as The Twisted Brain on TV and Horror High when it was in theaters hasn't been restored to a more fitting print. The version I have on one of the Mill Creek Entertainment box sets is in such ratty condition that it looks as if were clawed up by the transformed teenage monster out for revenge.
Still, even in that messed up print found on the DVD*, Larry N. Stouffer's 1974 film still makes for some hilarious, bloody good fun. You're not getting anything resembling a "best" genre film here at all. It's just a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde variant meets I Was a Teenage Werewolf and that's that. Continue reading

During the finale of the Voice leading up to the Craig Wayne Boyd winning the show, we got a big kick out of this video piece producers put together for Blake Shelton, and no, we can't touch this.
Here is video of some police officers that everyone should see. People share video of a few officers under stress, but do they share pics of good cops at their best?
It doesn't matter if you're Don Juan or Don Knotts -- picking up women takes effort, so it's infuriating when someone swoops in and steps on your game.
Ho, ho, ho-ly cow, this is terrifying.
One of my favorite competitions to watch at a rodeo is bullriding. There is something very exciting about watching these powerful beasts take on some of the toughest cowboys in this sporting event. Professional Bull Riding, or PBR, will be back in Bossier City, La., on January 9-10 at CenturyLink Center.

The group Home Free did an amazing a cappella version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" last summer. Now they have put this out for Christmas, and it is really, really good. It sounds just like a whole choir in that amazing church.
Hear the 911 audio from the shooting of suspected burglar, Dennis Grigsby of Texarkana Texas, before he was shot by police while allegedly breaking into a home on December 15, 2014.
A Texas Police Officer has been suspended after using a taser on a 76 year old man and it was all captured on video.
So, Seth McFarlane is not wasting any time for a Family Guy parody of the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie, but until it comes out, he has to settle for the recently released trailer for the 7th Star Wars movie.
Most everybody has a favorite Christmas Movie, but there are so many to choose from. So, the people at Screen Junkies put together this awesome supercut montage.

We know that many of you are passionate about Pathfinder Online and its current Kickstarter campaign, so today we're happy to point you towards a new developer video and links to a series of dev blogs that tell more about the game's creative process.Lead designer Lee Hammock and game designer Stephen Cheney address the topic of Escalations in this latest video, explaining that each area of the map will have creatures that need to be dealt with or their power will escalate over time. These unchecked monsters will eventually burden the zone's resources and make it more difficult for a settlement to thrive in that area. But if the threat is dealt with completely, you will earn bonuses for your settlement.
Be sure to watch the entire video after the cut for more on Escalation cycles and how they work.

Course Description
Why do we study men and masculinity? Isn't traditional academic knowledge male biased, anyway? Yes, most scholarship has been androcentric but women's studies intellectuals have facilitated the emergence of a critical analysis and study of men as men. This course is devoted to a sociological examination of the most important debates and discussions about men's experiences of masculinity in contemporary patriarchal societies. In this course, we will examine social and individual meanings of masculinity, the dominant paradigms of masculinity that we take as the norm, and the problems, contradictions and paradoxes men experience in modern society. We will examine these themes while looking at the social and cultural dynamics shaped by class, race/ethnicity, sexuality, age, and culture in a variety of social contexts and arrangements. Although we will study men representing the diverse cultural groups in the United States, we will pay special attention to the experiences of Latino men. We will examine the privileges as well as the costs of rigid expressions of masculinity. In our discussions we will explore avenues for social justice and change.
