One of Houston's weirdest and saddest public figures, Anna Nicole Smith is the subject of another made-for-TV biopic premiering on Lifetime on June 29.
The Anna Nicole Story is directed by American Psycho helmer Mary Harron, who has also been a prolific TV director as well.
Starring Agnes Bruckner as Smith, the film also features Martin Landau as her elderly beau J. Howard Marshall, and Cary Elwes plays his son, the late E. Pierce Marshall.
Character actress Virginia Madsen plays Virgie Arthur, Smith's long-suffering mother.
Texas-bred actor Danny Boaz is Larry Birkhead, the father of her daughter Dannielynn. Journeyman Adam Goldberg depicts Howard K. Stern, Smith's onetime domestic partner and major player in the legal wranglings surrounding her death.
Smith died February 8, 2007, in Hollywood, Fla., at the age of 38 of what was called an accidental overdose.

Can I use financial aid for independent study courses?
No. Open-enrollment, independent study courses that do not follow the semester schedule do not qualify for federal or state financial aid.
If you are enrolled in a combination of semester-based courses and open-enrollment, independent study courses, only your semester-based course enrollment will be considered for federal or state financial aid programs.
For more information, please see the Open Enrollment Course information provided by the UND Financial Aid Office.
Private Education Loans
You may apply for private education loans to assist with your educational expenses.
For more information, please see the private education loans information provided by the UND Financial Aid Office.
Will the credits earned at UND transfer to another school?
The transfer of credits is always at the discretion of the institution to which the credits are being transferred. In general, credits that are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission transfer to other regionally accredited institutions.
Please check with your institution to verify if the course(s) will apply toward your degree.
How do I register for independent study courses?
In order to take independent study college courses offered online or by mail, you must be admitted to the University of North Dakota.
If you are not admitted to UND, you have 2 options. Regardless of which option you choose, you will need to show proof of English proficiency if you are not a U.S. citizen.
Option 1
To register for up to 15 credits with non-degree status, simply click on the "Register Now" button to add the course to "Your Shopping Cart" and follow the check out process.
Tuition and a $35 (U.S. funds) non-refundable admission fee are due at the time of enrollment.
Option 2
If you are a degree-seeking student and plan to register for more than 15 credits, you must apply for full admission to the University of North Dakota.
Please visit UND Office of Admissions for undergraduate admission requirements and application forms.
What grading options are available for independent study courses?
You have the option of taking courses for letting grading or S/U grading. During the registration process, you will be enrolled in the course for letter grading. To change your grading option, submit the Request to Change Grading Option (PDF) to UND Online & Distance Education prior to submitting 2/3 of the lessons.
Letter grading includes the traditional grading scale A through F, with grade points (on a 4.0 scale) calculating into your grade point average. S/U grading only uses grades of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, and in most cases does not calculate into your grade point average.
For more information about grading options, please refer to the UND Academic Catalog.
How many independent study courses can I take at a time?
You may enroll in up to 4 courses at a time. For your academic success, we recommend that you take no more than 2 courses at the same time.
How do I order my textbooks?
Refer to the "Course at a Glance" or your course syllabus for a list of required textbooks. IF textbooks are required, you should order them at the same time you enroll so you may begin your course promptly.
The cost of textbooks is not included in your course tuition. You may order your textbooks through the University Bookstore or through the textbook provider of your choice. To order through the University Bookstore on the Grand Forks campus, call toll free at 866-791-4888 or order online.
To order online:

Your textbooks can be shipped to you, or you may pick them up at the University Bookstore in Grand Forks, ND.
IMPORTANT! You cannot place your order or pay for your textbooks through UND Online & Distance Education.
What's the difference between independent study and online, semester-based courses?
Independent study and online, semester-based courses are both college courses you can complete from anywhere at the time and place of your choice. You pick your time and place for studying, and can review materials as many times as you want to learn the information. With both course formats, you will receive in-state tuition regardless of where you live.
However, there are differences between independent study and online, semester-based courses:
Independent Study Courses
Independent study courses are self-paced college courses you complete when, where, and how you want. With these courses, you can:
- enroll at any time and take up to 9 months to complete your course.
- complete courses in an online or correspondence by mail format.
- learn independently at your own pace.
- complete lessons/exams on your own schedule.
IMPORTANT! Open enrollment, independent study courses that do not follow the semester schedule do not qualify for financial aid or military tuition assistance through the DoD.
Semester-Based Online Courses
Online, semester-based courses are online classes that follow the semester's schedule for completing lessons and exams. For most courses, you are not required to attend class at a set time. Some instructors may have set times for "live" Web discussions, which means that you may need to "log on" to your online course at a specific time.
With online, semester-based courses, you can:
- enroll in and complete your courses based on semester timelines.
- complete courses online using Web-based tools.
- interact with your instructor and other students through a virtual classroom.
- complete lessons and exams by set deadlines during the semester.
- use financial aid toward the tuition of your courses.
Can I enroll in both independent study and semester-based courses at the same time? Can I use both to complete my degree?
Yes. You can enroll in both course types at the same time and both course formats can be used to complete your degree from the University of North Dakota. Keep in mind that there are differences between independent study and online, semester-based courses, including registration deadlines and processes, eligibility for financial aid, ordering textbooks, time to complete, and other important policies.
How do I take exams? Who can serve as a proctor?
Exam information will be noted on the course syllabus. If proctored (monitored/supervised) exams are required to complete your course, you will need to designate an approved proctor to administer those exams at a location near you.
Please note that you are responsible to pay for any fees that proctors may charge for their services.
Approved proctors CAN be:
- UND Online & Distance Education (if living near Grand Forks, ND - There is NO fee for UND students.)
- Bismarck State College Testing & Assessment Services (if living near Bismarck, ND - There is NO fee for UND students.)
- School or Public Librarians
- Teachers/Professors
- Educational Administrators (principal/superintendent)
- Local College Testing Center Staff
- Adult Learning Centers
- Guidance Counselors
- Commanding Officers
- Military Education Officers or Embassy Education Officers
- Human Resource Representative
- Others (must be pre-approved by UND Online & Distance Education)
Proctors may NOT be:
- Students
- Friends
- Relatives
- Spouses
- Direct Supervisors
- Direct Reports / Employees
- Colleagues at Same Level
- Athletic or Assistant Coaches
More detailed information about designating a proctor and taking exams is provided once you begin your course.
Does UND offer support services for independent study students?

- Academic Advising
- Admissions
- American Indian Student Services
- Assessment and Testing
- Bookstore
- Career Services

- Orientation

Are disability services available to distance students?
Yes. Disability Services for Students (DSS) provides reasonable accommodations to eligible UND students, including distance students. Accommodations are individualized to address specific functional limitations resulting from a disability.
You must be an admitted UND student before applying for accommodations with Disability Services for Students. You are encouraged to apply for accommodations IMMEDIATELY after being admitted to UND and registering for distance courses in order to facilitate DSS's ability to provide accommodations in a timely manner.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact UND Online & Distance Education.
What happens if I do not finish the course in 9 months? Can I get an extension?
If you need more time, you may apply for a 3-month extension for $35 prior to your 9 month completion date. Only 1 extension is allowed.
The letter I for incomplete will be permanently noted on your transcript.
If you do not withdraw, get an extension, or complete the course within 9 months, a failing grade will be permanently recorded on your transcript.
What happens if I need to withdraw from an independent study course? What is your refund policy?
If UND receives your Withdrawal Request Form (PDF) 1 to 30 calendar days after your registration date, you will be refunded 100% of the course tuition. No record or academic penality will be recorded on your transcript.
If UND receives your Withdrawal Request Form (PDF) 31 to 60 calendar days after your registration date, you will be refunded 50% of the course tuition. A W will be recorded on your transcript.
No refunds are available if UND receives your Withdrawal Request Form (PDF) 61+ calendar days after your registration date. A W will be recorded on your transcript.

Note: The 1-time UND Admission Fee of $35 is non-refundable.

Russian outsize freight specialist Volga-Dnepr has reached another development agreement to modernise the Antonov An-124, this time into a version designated the An-124-111VD.
It will have a maximum take-off weight of 402 tonnes and a payload capability of 150 tonnes, with a range of 5,000km with a 120-tonne load.
The upgrade will include powerplant modification to the Ivchenko-Progress D-18T 3M series engine, with full authority digital engine control.
Antonov, which disclosed the agreement during the MAKS Moscow air show, said the engine would have a life of 50,000h and 11,111 cycles.
"This will significantly improve the fuel efficiency of the aircraft, to increase its reliability, as well as reduce noise and maintenance costs," it added.
The heavy transport would have a crew of three and its cockpit would be modernised with digital avionics.
Upgrade of the type has been a long-running effort. Antonov Airlines operates a modernised variant known as the An-124-100M-150, which needs a four-person crew.
Volga-Dnepr, which has 10 An-124s, said the lifetime of the new type would eventually be lengthened to 60,000h and 12,000 cycles, potentially taking service life to 50 years.
The aircraft would be able to comply with requirements for ICAO Category IIIa landing performance, it added.
Volga-Dnepr said the modernisation of the carrier's first aircraft would lay a platform for production launch of a new-build version known as the An-124-300.
Antonov chief Dmitry Kiva said the agreement set out design specifications for Volga-Dnepr's aircraft and added: "The An-124 is undergoing yet another landmark moment in its history. The demand for these unique aircraft has exceeded supply."
Volga-Dnepr Group president Alexey Isaikin added that the modernisation, ready by 2013, would be an "important practical step" towards resumption of An-124 production. He said the company was committed to the type and was prepared to order 40.

When you think of Texas, what food do you think of? Barbecue, perhaps?
Well, some die-hard barbecue fans might be surprised to learn that brisket does not make the list of Texas state foods. Our state meal is chili con carne.
We seem to have a better list than a few other states, however (you can see in the photos above).
The state prepared food in Georgia, for instance, is grits. That means when you go to Georgia, the first thing you should order is grits.
And what about Louisiana? How is crawfish not a state food? Jambalaya? Nope. Gumbo? Not a chance. But the state does have an official meat pie. It's the Natchitoches meat pie, which is similar to an empanada.
There are also state drinks, although not every state has one. Texas for instance, is state drink-less, although we can think of a few suggestions, margaritas being No. 1.
The United States really loves milk, with 20 states making cow juice its state drink. Indiana takes a more natural approach. Its state drink is water.
And Alabama is the only state to have an official state spirit: Conecuh Ridge Whiskey.

Parking Updates For 2008 Indoor Track and Field Season
Jan. 9, 2008
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Due to the beginning stages of construction of the Basketball Development Center, Indiana Athletics had announced some parking changes for teams and fans for the 2008 indoor track and field season.
These changes are effective immediately, beginning with the Indiana Open, which will be held in Gladstein Fieldhouse on Saturday, Jan. 12.
Due to the construction, the Blue Lot south of Gladstein Fieldhouse will be closed for the next 15 months, along with Gate No. 14, which previously permitted traffic from North Fee lane to turn into the Blue Lot.
IU Indoor Track and Field parking for the next two indoor season will be in the Green Lot directly north of Gladstein Fieldhouse, which also serves the IU Tennis Center. Parking access will be through Gates No. 12 and No. 13 from North Fee Lane. A limited amount of car/van parking is in numbered parking spaces north of Gladstein Fieldhouse. Any buses will have to park in the Green Lot.
Team entry to Gladstein Fieldhouse will be designated by a banner at the Fieldhouse's northwest doors. Spectator entry will be through a set of north-facing double doors situated between Assembly Hall and Gladstein Fieldhouse, which also will be designated by directional banners. IU Athletics Events Staff will be in position at the spectator entry doors to direct fans to the seating area.

This recipe from Chef V. Morin, who writes, "avocado is an awesome fruit. I like avocado for breakfast it is full of vitamin A. and it can be made into an incredible mousse as well, served with seared shrimp or scallops and your favorite chile. I like Chipotle. Check out one of my favorite recipes for Avocado Mousse. Enjoy !!!"
See more avocado recipes in the article Avocado Madness!
This recipe is from Zaire, where its is know as "Senegalese Quiche." Feel free to choose another hot sauce to serve over this dish.
This recipe appeared in the article Chile-Spiced Brunch Ideas for Mother's Day on the Burn! Blog.
Tart tomatillos, hot jalapeños, fresh lime, and sweet honey, all bound together with the creaminess of avocado, make this one a favorite sauce. Try it with any rich fish, like swordfish, salmon, mackerel, or bluefish.
To the members of the Madd Momma and The Kid barbecue team, sauce should be a finishing touch and only used during the final stages of barbecuing. In this recipe, they use honey to get the sweet heat they like.
This recipe and others can be found in the following article:
Lamb axoa is a recipe typical of the Basque region, prepared in the same fashion as a stew. In France, lamb tongue and hooves are used to further flavor the dish, but I have omitted them here. Serve with a crusty French bread and red wine. Again, substitute hot paprika or New Mexican red chile powder for the Espelette. If you wish to make this more of a stew, add two potatoes, finely chopped, and double the bouillon.
I just happened to have a bunch of baby bananas sitting on the counter one day when inspiration struck and now these are my absolute favorite tamales. The fun part is watching your guest's faces when they dig into the tamale and find a whole banana inside. Wrapping the tamales in banana leaves gives more flavor, but use corn husks if that's all you have.
These are so easy, it's almost a non-recipe. Sure, you can complicate matters by making your own dough and cooking bacon from scratch, but for pure instant gratification, this is the way to go. And since we're celebrating International Bacon Day—a holiday conceived by college students, I believe instant gratification is in keeping with the true spirit of the day.

A US Navy cruiser collided with a nuclear-powered submarine as both took part in exercises off the US East Coast. The cruiser's sonar dome was damaged in the crash, but the incident resulted in no injuries.
The Aegis-class cruiser USS San Jacinto hit the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Montpelier during naval exercises on Saturday, the Navy said in a statement.
Both vessels are part of a strike group led by the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. The military did not disclose the location or nature of the exercises.
The watch team aboard the cruiser saw a periscope rise from water some 100 to 200 meters ahead of the vessel, an unnamed Navy official told Reuters. The ship attempted to slow and reverse, but still collided with the submarine.
The impact crushed the rubber sonar dome on the cruiser's bow, an underwater device housing electronic navigation, detection and ranging equipment.
No personnel were injured, and there was no damage to the submarine's nuclear reactor, the Navy said. The scope of the damage is currently being assessed.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - July 4, 1961):
This was the most southwesterly military outpost in the United States, from its establishment in 1822 until the Mexican War. In March 1845, Texas was offered admission to the Union and Gen. Zachary Taylor's "Army of Observation", stationed at Fort Jesup, was ordered to hold its troops ready to march into Texas. After Texas joined the Union, Taylor was ordered to move into the new State. The site is now Fort Jesup State Monument.

Clashes erupted on Sunday night outside Egypt's Media Production City (MPC) between protesters and security forces. MPC has state-owned television channel studios and independent channels.
Islamist protesters gathered on Sunday outside the Media Production City, protesting against what they described as the "misleading media coverage that incites strife among the people."
The protesters chanted against some opposition leaders who belong to the National Salvation Front.
Some of the protesters blocked the entrance to the Production City and hurled stones at the security forces. The forces responded by firing teargas to disperse them and allow media persons to enter, reported the Middle East News Agency.
The protesters prevented Cameramen from recording the clashes, according to local newspaper, Al-Masry Alyoum.
They also prevented leaders from Egypt's opposition and head of journalists' syndiacte from entry into the city to attend shows that they were scheduled to appear in, reported the Ahram Portal.
Islamists had called for protests outside MPC to denounce the media's "biased coverage" of the Friday clashes in front of the Muslim Brotherhood's headquarters.
The Egyptian Popular Current condemned on Sunday the siege of the MPC by the Islamist protesters. It also held the president responsible for what it described as the crime of besieging the city.
"Some people use the media to incite violence, and whoever is found to be involved in promoting violence will not escape punishment," President Mohamed Mursi, who haild from the Muslim Brotherhood, said in a speech on Sunday.
The Popular Current said in a statement it released Sunday night that "the president gave the green light for militants to terrorize and besiege media persons, break cameras and prevent them and talk show guests from entry, in addition to assaulting them and destroying their cars."
The Current, established by former presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahy, demanded that the Interior Ministry apply the law in protecting government installments.
Salvation Front member, Amr Hamzawy, condemned on Monday the assault on media persons through his Twitter account.
The former parliamentarian also held the president accountable for these "undemocratic practices"
He stressed, "Fighting the media and commentators and throwing accusations against them with the involvement of the president in such undemocratic practices leads to the collapse of legitimacy."
"Egypt is slipping into the absence of the rule of law as violence is responded to through violence," Hamzawy warned.
Meanwhile, disqualified Islamist presidential candidate, Hazem Salah Abu Ismael called for peaceful marches to the headquarters of liberal parties and besieging the houses of politicians and media persons who incite sedition on Sunday through his Facebook page.
On the other hand, Information Minister, Salah Abdel Maksoud, asked protesters to walk away from the gates to the city in order to maintain the peacefulness of their protests.
The minister stressed that the right to assembly is provided but there are legal means to oppose the performance of some television channels.

Reevaluating Interfaith Dialogue
by Steven Shashoua
from Common Ground News Service
London – Girls in headscarves is not exactly what you would expect to see walking through the doors of a Catholic school in London. Yet for young people living in London today interfaith encounters are not as rare as they used to be.
While opportunities to meet people from other cultures are increasingly common, meaningful learning doesn't always follow and they don't necessarily bring about positive shifts in attitudes and real social change.
Over the past 15 years at the London-based Three Faiths Forum (3FF), we have developed models for creating understanding between people of different faiths and beliefs, with a particular focus on students and young people. For the last three years we have been creating links between different faith schools – some 50 in total – through our Faith School Linking programme.
At a school linking event, two or three classes from different faith schools will meet in the morning. Participating students divide into small groups and begin a task, like creating an art project, or sharing a story. They look at each other with some curiosity and hesitation at first, as they meet people very different from themselves.
The Three Faiths Forum- Helping Children Understand
by Jessica Abrahams
from The Guardian
Fifteen years ago, a Muslim scholar, a Christian priest and a Jewish philanthropist came together in London to create Three Faiths Forum (3FF), a platform for community leaders to engage with each another and break down barriers. But today, some of the most valuable work the charity undertakes is in schools, ensuring that tensions between faith communities don't trickle down to the next generation.
Often this will simply be making sure that children of different faiths have an opportunity to meet one another or addressing a lack of knowledge about other religions; occasionally more severe problems occur. "We're contacted by RE teachers to help when there's been anti-Jewish, -Muslim or -Christian sentiment," says Debbie Danon, the charity's education manager.
Deputy director Rachel Heilbron speaks of one particularly serious case they became involved with last year. A teacher discussing the features of a church with a group of 14-year-old students at a non-denominational school in London mentioned synagogues. Some of the students complained they didn't want to learn about "Jew stuff". They said that Jews were dirty and smelly and that they kept money under their hats. As the situation escalated, some of the children began banging on the tables, chanting: "Kill the Jews, kill the Jews."
The Science of Compassion
by James R. Doty
from the Huffington Post
Why, in a country that consumes 25% of the world's resources (the U.S.), is there an epidemic of loneliness, depression, and anxiety? Why do so many in the West who have all of their basic needs met still feel impoverished? While some politicians might answer, "It's the economy, stupid," Based on scientific evidence, a better answer is, "It's the lack compassion, stupid."
I recently attended the Templeton Prize ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London and have been reflecting on the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in conversation with Arianna Huffington: "If we say, oh, the practice of compassion is something holy, nobody will listen. If we say, warm-heartedness really reduces your blood pressure, your anxiety, your stress and improves your health, then people pay attention." As director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University (one of the two organizations recognized in the Templeton Prize press release), I would agree with the Dalai Lama.
What exactly is compassion? Compassion is the recognition of another's suffering and a desire to alleviate that suffering. Often brushed off as a hippy dippy religious term irrelevant in modern society, rigorous empirical data supports the view of all major world religions: compassion is good.
London 2012: How Do the Olympics Handle Religion?
by Michael Hirst
from BBC News
How do you cater for athletes of nine different religions at the Olympic Games?
The man charged with answering that question for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, Locog, is Reverend Canon Duncan Green, an Anglican priest who has been seconded to Locog as its head of faith services.
His starting point was to form a faith reference group comprising representatives of the UK's nine largest religions – Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Jain and Bahai – to advise on issues around faith in order to cater to the observations of practicing athletes, spectators and officials.
Karen Armstrong: Prejudices Will Be Shaken by This Show
By Karen Armstrong
From the Guardian
Ever since the Crusades, when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east, western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith – even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity. Recent terrorist atrocities have seemed to confirm this received idea. But if we want a peaceful world, we urgently need a more balanced view. We cannot hope to win the "battle for hearts and minds" unless we know what is actually in them. Nor can we expect Muslims to be impressed by our liberal values if they see us succumbing unquestioningly to a medieval prejudice born in a time of extreme Christian belligerence.
Like Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Sikhs and secularists, some Muslims have undoubtedly been violent and intolerant, but the new exhibition at the British Museum – Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam – is a timely reminder that this is not the whole story. The hajj is one of the five essential practices of Islam; when they make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Muslims ritually act out the central principles of their faith. Equating religion with "belief" is a modern western aberration. Like swimming or driving, religious knowledge is practically acquired. You learn only by doing. The ancient rituals of the hajj, which Arabs performed for centuries before Islam, have helped pilgrims to form habits of heart and mind that – pace the western stereotype – are non-violent and inclusive.
In the holy city of Mecca, violence of any kind was forbidden. From the moment they left home, pilgrims were not permitted to carry weapons, to swat an insect or speak an angry word, a discipline that introduced them to a new way of living. At a climactic moment of his prophetic career, Muhammad drew on this tradition. Fleeing persecution in Mecca in 622, he and the Muslim community (the umma) had migrated to Medina, 250 miles to the north. Mecca was determined to destroy the umma and a bitter conflict ensued. But eventually Muhammad broke the deadly cycle of warfare with an audacious non-violent initiative.
St Paul's Seeks New Direction and Begins Dialogue with Occupy Movement
by Alan Rusbridger
from the Guardian
The Rt Rev Richard John Carew Chartres exuded an aura of benign ecclesiastical calm having performed the most dramatic reverse ferret in modern church history.
The Bishop of London was cloistered in his 17th century palace – confusingly called the Old Deanery – after overseeing a meeting of the St Paul's Cathedral chapter at which his colleagues had unanimously agreed to overturn virtually every single decision they had reached over the past two weeks.
"Reverse ferret" is, technically speaking, a term used in Fleet Street, just down the road, to describe the moment when an editor executes a startling editorial U-turn.
But it was the bishop who brought off a remarkable tactical volte face. Stepping into the shoes of the recently-departed dean of St Paul's, Graeme Knowles, Chartres decided to suspend legal action against the protesters who are camped out barely a hundred yards from his sitting room – and to disregard the legal and health and safety advice which had previously led to the closure of the cathedral.
"The symbolism of the closed door was the wrong symbol," said Chartres, who also announced an initiative, led by a former investment banker, with the aim of "reconnecting the financial with the ethical".

After a long day full of work and confusion, I decided that it would be a good idea to go to the poetry reading at eight PM. I got all of my homework done and ate dinner also. It was now about seven twenty and I heard a knock at my front door. It was my RA; he was just reminding me that he was going to leave in a few minutes. Soon Jeff, another girl and I headed to the place where the reading was taking place. When we got there, all the seats in the back were full. This ended the back up plan, which consist of leaving out if the poet was very bad. We soon found three seats in the middle of the auditorium. The electrical people were all over the stage trying to get the microphone to work. After about twenty minutes of watching people trying to fix the microphone, I was very convinced that I was not going to like this night. Mr. Andrews Hudgins reminded me of the stereotypical unibomber, who had no microphone and recited poems such as the "Pissy Christ"; those are just a couple of reasons why I really disliked this poet and his poetry.
The poet looked a lot like someone who would be in the paper listed as the unibomber. He was a middle-aged balding man who looked a lot like a killer. Mr. Hudgins spoke with a tone of a crazy man, but the main problem was his type of poetry. When he started to read his poems, I was completely disappointed in his choice of topics. The type of poems that he read reinforced how I felt about his image at first. As the program progressed Mr. Hudgins appeared to be crazier than I thought in the beginning.
Aside from his scary appearance, Mr. Hudgins was practically yelling the entire time because he had no microphone. When we walked in and sat down, there were people walking all on stage and in the sound room. At first no one knew why the electricians were walking around, and I really could care less why the people were walking around. All I cared about at that time was hearing some poetry and going home. Since the microphone did not seem to be working, and everyone seemed to be getting a little impatient; the show went on.
During the whole show Mr. Hudgins was yelling. He was trying to make sure the whole audience heard his poetry; however, this was not to his benefit because he was already a site to look at, and he made lots of facial expressions which did not complement his features at all. Just imagine the unibomber yelling at you about a "Pissy Christ." To most people that is enough to disgust and disappoint all in one. I was looking forward to hearing some nice romantic soft poetry; instead, I felt as though I was in a lion's den surrounded by loud playing Punk Rock music.
The worst thing, besides the appearance of the poet and his vocal energy, was his type of poetry. People who prefer his type harsh poetry might have enjoyed the program, but people like myself who like more subtle and relaxing poetry would not enjoy Mr. Hudgins at all. He had poems such as: "My Fathers Corpse," "Babylon in a Jar," "Rain" and "Pissy Christ." The only poem he recited that did not have any thing to do with blood was "The China Berry Tree," which I could not even hear because he had no microphone.
The two worst poems I heard that night were "Rain" and "Pissy Christ." The poem titled "Rain" was very negative. It was about a murderer who was killing women all over town, and scattering their body parts around off of different highways. I think that the media exploits subjects such as murder, and writing a poem about a murderer is only adding to the problem. I was even more appalled because the poem never mentioned a man being killed and scattered all over the highway. I am not condoning this type of poetry, but why must society find this constant image of women being a weaker sex as an entertaining topic. I feel that women are weaker in some aspects, but this type of poetry is very unnecessary.
The last poem that Hudgins recited was called "Pissy Christ." When I heard the title of this poem I was very tempted to walk out; however, I figured since it was his last poem maybe I should stay. In this poem he talked about Christ Jesus being born through the womb of his mother. The reason for his title was because he stated that the womb is in between the anus and the pee whole. The poem went on to say that Christ was covered with blood and piss when born from his mother's womb. As if this was not a topic that I would have wanted to hear he went on and on about it. Hudgins said that when Christ was being put on the cross he was pissy, and bloody like a newborn baby. I am a person who is very conscience of the way Christ is talked about, and something about this poem just did not seem morally correct to me.
I was totally disappointed with Mr. Hudgins and his horrible poetry. I was very disgusted and upset when I left the reading. If I would have known that it was going to be that bad, I would have stayed in my room and studied. I did not like the poet's appearance, tone, or his type of poetry. I went to the reading in a good mood, and came back home contemplating whether or not I should ever go to another one again. I was totally disappointed and would highly recommend that people who like smooth mellow poetry like myself, never to go to the reading of Andrew Hudgins poetry. It will only upset you, and leave you wondering what made him write about such negative subjects.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
A friend of mine on another linux list pointed out an apparently good
deal on a thin client:
This item is the Wyse 2315SE Thin Client Terminal for $6 each, with a
current special of $4.99 for total shipping. This thin client, after
connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse, is supposed to allow access to a
windows desktop and applications over a network. The reason I'm posting is
that I would like to use this thin client to access a linux desktop,
especially if I could do it with a bunch of these. The little I could
glean from Google is that the operating system in WinCE and Citrix
metaframe is used to communicate with the server. Since Citrix still
doesn't provice a linux version of their metaframe server, the only way I
can see to use this thin client as an X terminal would be to boot it with
linux on a flash memory card in its PCMCIA slot.
Is there any hope here? I've ordered a few, so I'll let you know of any
success. Let me know if you want to play with one.
