The Associated Press (AP) has deployed a Custom Consoles 'monitor-scape' video display support system, along with Module-R desks for a new high-definition master control room at its global media hub in London, UK. The Master Control Room (MCR) is the international hub of AP's global video operation, serving client broadcasters round-the-clock. The HD MCR project was co-ordinated by Letchworth, UK-based systems integrator ATG Broadcast.
Custom Consoles' Media Wall is designed to accommodate large or small arrays of flat-panel monitors and ancillary equipment. Media Wall incorporates height-adjustable, horizontal beams suspended between two-meter high, silver-anodized aluminum columns. Beams are available in 1500, 2000 and 2500 millimeter widths, and allow attachment of large and small panels using pivoting VESA and plasma-mount fittings. Horizontal cable trunking is provided at the rear of each beam and vertical trunking at the rear of each column, enabling housing of power and video wiring. Equipment pods with 19in racking behind removable vented panels can be accommodated at floor-level.

I would recommend this company.
After researching other architects in the area Marcus was the most competitive on price, but also provided a detailed quote including all other costs for planning as well as expected time frames and details of the process. Marcus provided expert advice on other matters too. I thoroughly recommend this company, no reason to look elsewhere!
Excellent service and very helpful
Very quick and helpful.
Marcus and his team provided us with a friendly and professional service. They comprehensively answered any questions that we had over the design
Very approachable and helpful at every stage.
Struggling with such a large ever changing development Marcus provided an excellent service and was always willing to help.
The initial plans were drawn up based on the suggestions we gave during the initial meeting. When we saw them on paper, we realised that we should have taken a different approach and changed our minds about what we wanted. Following a discussion about other options with Marcus, he quickly drew up new plans which were submitted and achieved planning permission without the need for further change.

Lots of love,
The List of My Creations
My Thoughts regarding Dreamz:
Some quotes about dream :
A Quote on dream
"All people dream,but not equally.
Those who dream at night in the dusty recesses of their mind
Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people,
For they dream their dreams with open eyes,
And make them come true".
I hope this comes true for me because I day-dream of meeting CID in real
"I dream because there is no
otherway I could see it happen"
Par Kisee'ney kaha hai :
Isliyeh aaj bhi sapney dekhthi rehthi hoon mein pagli
So everyone just want to say:
[*Will keep on bringing interesting creations as far CID keeps on coming on Sony TV *]
Mera naam Deepika hai aur mein Kasargod ki rehne wali hoon. Mein abhi Mcom kar rahi hoon. Mein jindagi mein kuch exciting karna chahthi hoon.Meri jindagi mein aisi ek feeling hai ki mein kisi chidiya ghar mein keid karke rakha gaya hai aur vaha se choothne ki intazaar mein hoon. Agar mein 5 crore jeeth jathi hoon toh mein apne parents se dhoor kisi doosre shehar mein kahin jaakar kudh kaam karke independently rehna chahoongi.
uske baad video clip khatam ho jata hain aur taliyoonki goonj hoti hain.
Amithabh'ji :Toh apke saath apke pitah aaye hai.Apna parichay deejiye
Father : Ji. Mera naam Ravi hai, aur mein retird Canara bank manager hoon.
Amithab'ji : Toh Ravi sahab aapka bohot bohot swaagat hai KBC mein.Deepika'ji aapne kaha ki aapko esa lagta hai ki aap ek pinjre mein kaaid hain, kya hua aapko aisa kyoon lagta hain???
Deepika :Meri zindagi mein kya hoga aur kya nahin woh meri pitaji hi decide karthe hain isliye agar mujhe kahin jaana hota hai toh unki permission ke saath varna woh naraaz ho jaate hai. Ab graduation ke baad se unhone mujhe kahi jane ki permission nahi di. Chahe shaadi ho yaa engagement, agar ghar mein sabke sab bhi jate hai toh bhi mujhe akele chodke woh chale jayenge.M ere pitaji ko sharmindagi hoti hai mujhe kahi le jane keliye kyoon ki mein bahot moti hoon aur log kuch comment karenge.
Amitabh'ji : (mere pitaji se) Kya yeh baat sach hai?????!!!!
Father : Yeh baat sach hai ki mein useh kahi bhi bahar shaadiyon mein attend karne nahi deta.woh isliye ki woh ab bohot moti hogayi hai, aur mein nahi chahta ki log uspe comment na kare. Mein chahta hoon ki woh slim aur beautiful bane aur phir chahe kitni bhi shaadi attend kare mujhe koi bhi aitraaz nahi.
Amithabh'ji : Lekin mein iss baat se bilkul bhi sehmath nahi hoon ki Deepika bhadi dikhthi hai.Mere hisaab se Deepika ki apni personality hai aur ek limit bhi hai ki woh thoda slim ho sakthi hai lekin bohot jyaada nahi.
Deepika : (smilingly) Thank you Sir.
Then he starts the questions and i surpass 20,000 question.
After that again Amithabh'ji starts asking again
Amithabh'ji : Deepika'ji aapne likha hai ki aapke saath ek bohot annoying incident hua hai. humein woh incident batayiye.
Deepika : Ek baar mein Ernakulam Railway station mein pitaji ke saath mein intazaar kar rahi thi. hum donon 3 seat chair pe baitn theh.mein beech mein aur 3rd seat mein pitaji ke kehne par mein apna bag rakha.
Amithabh'ji : uske baad kya hua??????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deepika : Uske baad achanak ek aadmi kahin se aaya aur mere bag ke upar baitnewaala tha toh meine woh baag hata diya, toh mere pitaaji ne mujhe daatta ki meine bag kyoon hataaya.. Meine bag isliye hataaya tha kyoon ki baag mein upar thode sweets theh tooh isliye, lekin bajaye ki woh uss aadmi ko daanttt de woh mere peeche pad gaye.
If you have liked it i will include myself meeting the CID crew in the next post .

2010 MWF, TTH 16 Week MLA Sections Kay Grosso, Instructor Course Catalog Description: First Year Composition, development of Standard English Writing skills. See McGraw Hill textbook, The GUIDE for all competencies. Prereq: ENG 091, with a grade of "C" or better. Instructor: Kay Grosso, M.A. Ed, Arizona State University, 1970 Help: Walk-ins okay; appointments best. Office: Bldg 05-131. REQUIREMENTS: Absences: I will drop students who miss FOUR (4) unexcused class meetings (in a row or total) from the course. If you anticipate an absence, please contact me immediately - before class - by phone or email. Students are encouraged to communicate to avoid being dropped. Excused absences include religious holidays, hospitalization, bereavement, and others. See GCC General Catalog. Tardiness: Tardiness is ordinarily unacceptable for college students. Help: First, get a "study buddy" and exchange phone numbers. Second, call the instructor: Campus message: 623.845.3865 or email me regarding attendance: Do not use gmail for me. NOTE the email here… firstname.lastname@example.com Help: Your GCC Writing Center is free and located in HT2, Room 107. Go to sign up for a 30 minute tutoring time in advance. Library homepage: <http://www.gc.maricopa.edu/lmc/> Librarian Support: Walk into our library! Librarians are specialists in research skills. They can help you locate what you seek in the databases. Connect Composition Plus: This section uses a new online feature called Connect Composition Plus from McGraw Hill Publishers. You will be assigned a Student Access Code to register at the following link: http://www.mhconnectcomposition.com/ Your will submit your work through this interactive website. Please register immediately so you can begin to do the assignments there for your class. Make certain to register as a "First Time Registration." Use your GMAIL (Google mail) for all correspondence for MHConnect. Some tips: 1-Do NOT use lb sign (#) in labels, titles or subject lines of papers you create IN MHConnect. Use if you are attaching a WORD doc., or doc.x to a message within MHConnect with No problems! 2-Check your MHConnect daily for my feedback if assignments are in progress. I may send out a group email. 3-This class is NOT an online class. You must come to class to pass. We use the online Portal to assist with faster grading turnarounds and grammar assistance lessons. Quality of Work: All work completed outside of class will be word-processed, proofed, labeled, paginated, and ready to be graded before you send it into Connect Composition Plus. Grammar and English usage are to be at college level standards, which include punctuation, spelling, and sentence clarity at a minimum. You will be given additional assignments in grammar if needed and these will become part of your individualized grade. All grammar work is found online at MHConnect in the eHandbook. Independent Study: This class meets for group lectures on common ground for student learning. However, the actual accountability for each student is on an independent basis. So, when a class meeting or appointment is scheduled, each student is expected to be there. Instructor cannot re-teach by phone. Use your study- buddy, too. Study groups are helpful, especially for writing guidelines. Ownership and Plagiarism: Passing off another's work as one's own is against the ethics of the writing and publishing field. If a student does not use the Modern Language Association (MLA) documentation format, the student's work may be seen as an example of plagiarism. Instruction will clarify documentation procedures, summarizing, and paraphrasing. Students found to use shoddy MLA skills will pay the price. Out and out plagiarism results in failure for the work and results in an "F" for the course. Don't let that be your fate…! Class Diversity: Student values and diverse perspectives are important to respect. Any condemnation of another's thinking, being, or writing as representative of an inferior culture or racial group perspective will be considered insufficient to support our transnational community here at Glendale Community College. Please respect each other's differences, even when such differences conflict with your own. Motto: strive to be confused and respectful simultaneously. ALWAYS PRINT A HARD COPY of work DUE !!! WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS English 101 – 16 Week Version, Grosso Text: Roen, Glau and Maid. The McGraw Hill Guide. GCC 2nd Edition. New York: McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. 2011. Print.

The registration # for you is in your textbook on a card. Please register using your GCC Google email account so that all correspondence, whether from me or the main GCC enrollment Office will come to the same email account. Do not use yahoo or hotmail emails. Thank you. Email your Instructor: Use ONLY email@example.com Thank you! Note that this IS NOT a Google email. Class Meetings Dates Assignments Per Week and Homework Aug 23-27 Introduction to course syllabus and overview of MHConnect online. Log-in for GCC, MHConnect, and MEID are reviewed. *Read Dillard's "Living Like Weasels" ( attached or view http://www.courses.vcu.edu/ENG200-lad/dillard.htm) for model rhetorical skills. *Write a personal reaction or reflection: react to Dillard's descriptive essay and reflect on her purpose, tone, audience, and context in an ungraded writing sample which you upload into MHConnect by midnight on August 25th. Follow directions in MHConnect please. *Learn to read and interpret essays. *Follow the skills of writing in the genre called "creative non-fiction" and/or "rhetorical composition." *Introduction to textbook, eHandbook, course expectations, instructor approaches, college writing assumptions and standards. NOTE: you will be asked to read chapters in both the Guide and the eHandbook. Do NOT DO writing activities unless they are assigned by the instructor. Homework Due Monday Aug 30 or Tues., Aug. 31: *Read Chapters 1, 2-Guide paying attention to the vocabulary of RHETORIC. *Create your own personal vocabulary list of terms from the texts that are important in writing, complete with definitions. You may collect these terms in an online Word document/journal for yourself. These documents will include the content for quiz questions. Read carefully pages 19-23 and then WRITE a rhetorical analysis (also called a critical response) on the following essay: http://www2.selu.edu/Academics/Faculty/scraig/gansberg.html for "Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call Police" by Gansberg. The author relies on his NARRATION and EXAMPLE SKILLS to accomplish his purpose. *Write a 5-7 paragraph rhetorical analysis (critical response) of Gansberg's essay. Use at least three (3) exact quotes from his essay in your analysis and put quote marks around them to indicate they are WORD for WORD. You do not need to use MLA in this analysis even though you are quoting. This analysis is worth 50 points. Use 3rd person voice in your work. Label as "Assignment #1-Analysis of Gansberg's Purpose." For additional assistance, see the eHandbook, Chapter 7, especially sections 7c and 7e where a sample Critical Response is included on Nat Hentoff's essay. This is your sample to follow when writing ANY critical response papers in the class. Aug 30-Sep 3 Hand in "Assignment #1-Analysis of Gansberg's Purpose" using MHConnect no later than midnight on the due date. We will look at writings that show "WHAT." *Intro to reading for examples, narrative and descriptive patterns and skills. *Annotation (pg. 19 text), a summary (pg. 30 text) and a synthesis (pg. 30 text). *A look at ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS as we write to share what is on our minds with the readers. See Chapter 2-Guide, especially pages 19-31. *A short quiz on terminology. Homework Due Tues. Sept. 7 or Wed. Sept. 8: Annotate the essay by Vogt on pg. 29 in the text. Then, re-read the essay by Bangeman on pg. 19, text. Instead of writing a critical response or rhetorical analysis of what is on each author's mind, you are to write ONE synthesis essay which includes BOTH authors' ideas to support what the ETHOS issue is for you. Remember, you are to explain WHAT the problem is, not WHY it is a problem. Use examples, stories (narration) and description available in both authors' essays to synthesize your remarks. Please use 3rd person voice again. Label this 5-7 paragraph essay: "Assignment #2-Synthesis on Ethos Issues." In this synthesis, you will use MLA to identify the sources in a Works Cited List, and you will use the parenthetical references (I call them "tags") to identify which essay is the source for each quotation you choose to use in your paragraphs. Please consult the eHandbook, Part 4, Chapter 23, format 9 in the MLA Documentation system section for two or more items from the same anthology as your model. Submit your Assignment via MHConnect as a WORD Doc. Attachment to an email. Please put Course Code in Subject line. Example: Assignment 2-17228. NOTE: Monday, Sept. 6th is a HOLIDAY!!!! Read http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/21/travel/BPTRADE.html "Where Nothing Says Everything" or "Ground Zero" by Suzanne Berne who relies on DESCRIPTION to make her thesis and purpose clear to readers.

Hand in "Assignment #2-Synthesis on Ethos Issues." *Review of the essays and properties of exemplification, narration and description which tell "WHAT." *Review of Berne's essay and her skills. *Discussion and practice on explicit and implicit thesis opinions, grammar expectations in college, documentation requirements, voice and architecture of essays and compositions. *Review of effective thesis design. *Chapter 4, Guide overview. Getting ready for your first ESSAY using the skills that reveal WHAT is on your mind. It is called a memoir, a genre in creative non-fiction writing. Let's go review samples from 439-449 in text. *Quiz on terminology and Berne's essay. HOMEWORK due Sept 13-14: Read Chapter 4, text, pages 46-61. Then, go to http://thisibelieve.org/top/ and choose THREE of the narratives in the "most often read" list to read. You are now at the START LINE to write your first ESSAY using narration, description, and examples for this class. Using the lists on pages 55-56, map out your ideas for your memoir essay which will answer the question: What troubles you most about Americans? Make certain you have written the THESIS OPINION or PURPOSE as EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT as part of your mapping. Use the following architecture to organize your 1st person voice map: Possible Title. Introductory story, famous saying, descriptive anecdote. THESIS as explicit or implicit. Three to four supportive stories, examples, incidents, dialogue situations, crisis situations. Concluding or reflective segment with a potential "kicker" to keep reader. Also map the intended audience, context of your memoir, tone. *Need help planning? See eHandbook Chapters 2,3. Write out the map/outline for your essay on your word processing software and label as "Assignment #3-Preparation for Memoir Essay." Assignment is DUE on MHConnect no later than midnight on due date.

Write your own thesis in your 1st person voice which uses dialogue by speaker to announce what troubles the writer. Sample: "I don't want to join the Army," yelled Tony. "I'm a pacifist now!" 2. 3rd person voice, three-pronged thesis. Sample: Young American males and females like Tony and Marla are choosing not to join the military because of religious values, family values, and social values. 3. 1st person voice of the author using personal insight. Sample: I haven't answered "yes" to any Army recruiter's invitation to volunteer and I probably won't. 4. 1st person voice, plural where author speaks for Americans. Sample: We American women are not happy with the male leadership regarding reasons for war. We have a better way to resolve national squabbles. HOMEWORK DUE Sept. 20-21: Write your own essay which answers the question: What troubles you most about Americans?

Living Like Weasels By Annie Dillard 1 A weasel is wild. Who knows what he thinks? He sleeps in his underground den, his tail draped over his nose. Sometimes he lives in his den for two days without leaving. Outside, he stalks rabbits, mice, muskrats, and birds, killing more bodies than he can eat warm, and often dragging the carcasses home. Obedient to instinct, he bites his prey at the neck, either splitting the jugular vein at the throat or crunching the brain at the base of the skull, and he does not let go. One naturalist refused to kill a weasel who was socketed into his hand deeply as a rattlesnake. The man could in no way pry the tiny weasel off, and he had to walk half a mile to water, the weasel dangling from his palm, and soak him off like a stubborn label. 2 And once, says Ernest Thompson Seton--once, a man shot an eagle out of the sky. He examined the eagle and found the dry skull of a weasel fixed by the jaws to his throat. The supposition is that the eagle had pounced on the weasel and the weasel swiveled and bit as instinct taught him, tooth to neck, and nearly won. I would like to have seen that eagle from the air a few weeks or months before he was shot: was the whole weasel still attached to his feathered throat, a fur pendant? Or did the eagle eat what he could reach, gutting the living weasel with his talons before his breast, bending his beak, cleaning the beautiful airborne bones? 3 I have been reading about weasels because I saw one last week. I startled a weasel who startled me, and we exchanged a long glance. 4 Twenty minutes from my house, through the woods by the quarry and across the highway, is Hollins Pond, a remarkable piece of shallowness, where I like to go at sunset and sit on a tree trunk. Hollins Pond is also called Murray's Pond; it covers two acres of bottomland near Tinker Creek with six inches of water and six thousand lily pads. In winter, brown-and-white steers stand in the middle of it, merely dampening their hooves; from the distant shore they look like miracle itself, complete with miracle's nonchalance. Now, in summer, the steers are gone. The water lilies have blossomed and spread to a green horizontal plane that is terra firma to plodding blackbirds, and tremulous ceiling to black leeches, crayfish, and carp. 5 This is, mind you, suburbia. It is a five-minute walk in three directions to rows of houses, though none is visible here. There's a 55-mph highway at one end of the pond, and a nesting pair of wood ducks at the other. Under every bush is a muskrat hole or a beer can. The far end is an alternating series of fields and woods, fields and woods, threaded everywhere with motorcycle tracks--in whose bare clay wild turtles lay eggs. 6 So, I had crossed the highway, stepped over two low barbed-wire fences, and traced the motorcycle path in all gratitude through the wild rose and poison ivy of the pond's shoreline up into high grassy fields. Then I cut down through the woods to the mossy fallen tree where I sit. This tree is excellent. It makes a dry, upholstered bench at the upper, marshy end of the pond, a plush jetty raised from the thorny shore between a shallow blue body of water and a deep blue body of sky. 7 The sun had just set. I was relaxed on the tree trunk, ensconced in the lap of lichen, watching the lily pads at my feet tremble and part dreamily over the thrusting path of a carp. A yellow bird appeared to my right and flew behind me. It caught my eye; I swiveled around—and the next instant, inexplicably, I was looking down at a weasel, who was looking up at me. 8 Weasel! I'd never seen one wild before. He was ten inches long, thin as a curve, a muscled ribbon, brown as fruitwood, soft-furred, alert. His face was fierce, small and pointed as a lizard's; he would have made a good arrowhead. There was just a dot of chin, maybe two brown hairs' worth, and then the pure white fur began that spread down his underside. He had two black eyes I didn't see, any more than you see a window. 9 The weasel was stunned into stillness as he was emerging from beneath an enormous shaggy wild rose bush four feet away. I was stunned into stillness twisted backward on the tree trunk. Our eyes locked, and someone threw away the key. 10 Our look was as if two lovers, or deadly enemies, met unexpectedly on an overgrown path when each had been thinking of something else: a clearing blow to the gut. It was also a bright blow to the brain, or a sudden beating of brains, with all the charge and intimate grate of rubbed balloons. It emptied our lungs. It felled the forest, moved the fields, and drained the pond; the world dismantled and tumbled into that black hole of eyes. If you and I looked at each other that way, our skulls would split and drop to our shoulders. But we don't. We keep our skulls. So. 11 He disappeared. This was only last week, and already I don't remember what shattered the enchantment. I think I blinked, I think I retrieved my brain from the weasel's brain, and tried to memorize what I was seeing, and the weasel felt the yank of separation, the careening splash- down into real life and the urgent current of instinct. He vanished under the wild rose. I waited motionless, my mind suddenly full of data and my spirit with pleadings, but he didn't return. 12 Please do not tell me about "approach-avoidance conflicts." I tell you I've been in that weasel's brain for sixty seconds, and he was in mine. Brains are private places, muttering through unique and secret tapes-but the weasel and I both plugged into another tape simultaneously, for a sweet and shocking time. Can I help it if it was a blank? 13 What goes on in his brain the rest of the time? What does a weasel think about? He won't say. His journal is tracks in clay, a spray of feathers, mouse blood and bone: uncollected, unconnected, loose leaf, and blown. 14 I would like to learn, or remember, how to live. I come to Hollins Pond not so much to learn how to live as, frankly, to forget about it. That is, I don't think I can learn from a wild animal how to live in particular--shall I suck warm blood, hold my tail high, walk with my footprints precisely over the prints of my hands?--but I might learn something of mindlessness, something of the purity of living in the physical sense and the dignity of living without bias or motive. The weasel lives in necessity and we live in choice, hating necessity and dying at the last ignobly in its talons. I would like to live as I should, as the weasel lives as he should. And I suspect that for me the way is like the weasel's: open to time and death painlessly, noticing everything, remembering nothing, choosing the given with a fierce and pointed will. 15 I missed my chance. I should have gone for the throat. I should have lunged for that streak of white under the weasel's chin and held on, held on through mud and into the wild rose, held on for a dearer life. We could live under the wild rose wild as weasels, mute and uncomprehending. I could very calmly go wild. I could live two days in the den, curled, leaning on mouse fur, sniffing bird bones, blinking, licking, breathing musk, my hair tangled in the roots of grasses. Down is a good place to go, where the mind is single. Down is out, out of your ever- loving mind and back to your careless senses. I remember muteness as a prolonged and giddy fast, where every moment is a feast of utterance received. Time and events are merely poured, unremarked, and ingested directly, like blood pulsed into my gut through a jugular vein. Could two live that way? Could two live under the wild rose, and explore by the pond, so that the smooth mind of each is as everywhere present to the other, and as received and as unchallenged, as falling snow? 16 We could, you know. We can live any way we want. People take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience--even of silence--by choice. The thing is to stalk your calling in a certain skilled and supple way, to locate the most tender and live spot and plug into that pulse. This is yielding, not fighting. A weasel doesn't "attack" anything; a weasel lives as he's meant to, yielding at every moment to the perfect freedom of single necessity. *** 17 I think it would be well, and proper, and obedient, and pure, to grasp your one necessity and not let it go, to dangle from it limp wherever it takes you. Then even death, where you're going no matter how you live, cannot you part. Seize it and let it seize you up aloft even, till your eyes burn out and drop; let your musky flesh fall off in shreds, and let your very bones unhinge and scatter, loosened over fields, over fields and woods, lightly, thoughtless, from any height at all, from as high as eagles. ENG 101 Kay Grosso, Instructor Stallone Vs. Springsteen By Jack Newfield 1 Bruce Springsteen and Sylvester Stallone are the two great working-class heroes of American mass culture. Springsteen had the best-selling album of 1985 and Stallone had the second most successful movie. On the surface, they share stunning similarities of biceps, bandannas, American flags, Vietnam themes, praise from President Reagan, and uplifting feelings of national pride. Bumper sticker proclaim, BRUCE--THE RAMBO OF ROCK. 2 But beneath the surface--and between the lines--these two American heroes of the eighties are sending opposite messages. They are subtly pulling the 18-to-35-year-old generation toward two competing visions of the American future. 3 Stallone's Rocky and Rambo films--especially the latter--are about violence and revenge in a context of fantasy. Rambo never pays a price in body bags or pain or blood or doubt or remorse or fear. The enemy is stereotyped and therefore dehumanized. The emotions Stallone liberates are hostility and aggression: Audiences come out of the theater wanting to kick some Commie ass in Nicaragua. 4 By contrast, the essential human feeling Springsteen liberates is empathy-- compassion for the human man trapped in the dead-end world of the hourly wage. The realistic words of Springsteen's best songs are about the hurt of unemployed workers; about reconciliation with estranged parents through understanding their lives; about staying hopeful even though experience falls short of the American dream. 5 In Rambo Stallone depicts the Vietnam veteran as a killing machine, a deranged, rampaging executioner. In "Born in the U.S.A.," Springsteen depicts the Vietnam veteran as neglected--wanting to be reintegrated into society as a normal person but getting the brush-off from a bureaucrat at the Veterans Administration. Recall the misunderstood and misheard words of the Springsteen anthem: Got in a little hometown jam, So they put a rifle in my hand. Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man . . . Come back home to the refinery. Hiring man says, "Son, if it was up to me . . ." Went down to see my VA man; He said, "Son, don't you understand now?" I had a brother at Khé Sanh Fighting off the Viet Cong. They're still there; he's all gone. He had a woman he loved in Saigon-- I got a picture of him in her arms now . . . 6 The difference between Stallone and Springsteen is perhaps best illuminated by reading as essay George Orwell wrote in 1945, before either Stallone or Springsteen was born. In the essay, "Notes on Nationalism," Orwell makes a distinction between nationalism and patriotism and then suggests that they are, in fact, opposites: By "nationalism" I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can confidently be labeled "good" or "bad." But secondly--and this is much more important--I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests. Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism . . . since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By "patriotism" I mean a devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power . . . 7 It can be plausibly argued, for instance--it is even probably true--that patriotism is an inoculation against nationalism. 8 Stallone as Rambo snarls, "Damn Russian bastards" and kills a few more. Springsteen introduces "This Land is Your Land," the first encore at all his concerts, as "the greatest song ever written about America," and then reminds his fans, "Remember, nobody wins unless everybody wins." That's one difference between nationalism and patriotism. 9 Stallone manipulates Americans' feelings of frustration over the lost Vietnam war and helps create a jingoistic climate of emotion in which a future war might be welcomed. Springsteen asks us to honor the neglected and rejected Vietnam veterans, so that we won't glide gleefully into the next war without remembering the real cost of the last one. That's a second difference between nationalism and patriotism. 10 "It's a right-wing fantasy," said Stallone, talking to Time about last summer's big hit. "What Rambo is saying is that if they could fight again, it would be different." He added that he was looking for another "open wound" as a site for a sequel, possibly Iran or Afghanistan. 11 Ron Kovic is a paraplegic author and Vietnam veteran. As an honored guest at Springsteen's opening-night concert last August at the Giant's stadium in New Jersey, Kovic told reporters, "I've been sitting in this wheelchair for the past 18 years. And I can only thank Bruce Springsteen for all he has done for Vietnam veterans. 'Born in the U.S.A.' is a beautiful song that helped me personally to heal." The difference between looking for another open wound as a movie backdrop and creating music that is healing--that's a third distinction between nationalism and patriotism . . . 12 Nationalism, as defined by Orwell, is an intoxicating but essentially negative emotion, because it is, by its very nature, intolerant. It does not respect the rights of minorities or the dignity of neighbors. It is a will to power that negates complexity. Its most extreme avatars are monstrous lunatics such as Khomeini, Qaddafi, Botha, Farrakhan, and Kahane. 13 The milder form of nationalism, as represented by Stallone, is less harmful. Stallone doesn't have Governmental power, and he doesn't push the issue; he usually retreats behind his movie character and tells most interviewers he is nonpolitical. 14 But the messages his images communicate to masses of impressionable young people sometimes do have damaging consequences. For example, the week Rambo, with its negative stereotypes of Asians, opened in Boston last spring, there were two incidents in which Southeast Asian refugees were badly beaten up by gangs of white youths. 15 In the more recent Rocky IV--which Stallone wrote, directed, and starred in--the villainous foe is a Russian who fights dirty, takes illegal steroid injections, and wears a black mouthpiece. Cleverly named Ivan Drago, he is depicted as a robotlike extension of the Evil Empire. Critics have written that it is the most simplistic and one-dimensional of all the Rocky movies. It lacks the interesting subplots and realistic blue-collar atmosphere of the original Rocky, with its loan shark and neighborhood gym; this time, Stallone literally and figuratively wraps himself in the American flag--proving that sequel are the last refuge of nationalists. 16 The worst features of Stallone's nationalism are the values it enshrines and reinforces: racism, violence, militarism, and--possibly most subversive of all--simplicity. The convergence of these emotions can make war and foreign intervention seem like a sporting event. Or a movie. 17 Bruce Springsteen's patriotism is rooted in a different set of values, apparent in his songs: the old-fashioned virtues of work, family, community, loyalty, dignity, perseverance, love of country. His fundamental theme is the gap between America's promise and performance and his resilient faith in the eventual redemption of that promise. He sees America as it is, with all its jobless veterans, homeless people, and urban ghettos. And he retains his idealism in spite of everything, because his patriotism has room for paradox. At a Springsteen concert, one song wants to make you cheer for America; the next makes you want to cry for America--and then change it. 18 Springsteen conveys compassion for the casualty, for the ordinary person who may not be articulate. His empathy is for men with "debts no honest man can pay." From his immense pride in his home town comes an homage to closed textile mills and "Main Street's white-washed windows and vacant stores." Out of his populist patriotism comes his affection for people who feel "like a dog that's been beat too much" and his reconciling respect for his working-class father: Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain. Now he walks up these empty rooms, looking for someone to blame. These songs are social, not political. They don't offer platforms, slogans, or rhetoric. They don't imply easy remedies and they don't endorse politicians. Springsteen himself says he has not voted since 1972, and he is enrolled in no political party . . . 19 Springsteen and Stallone, two messiahs of American mass culture, two muscular men--tugging the country's flag in different directions. 20 Sylvester Stallone, at bottom, is a faker, feeding us fantasies as therapy for our national neuroses. He is appealing to the dark side that exists in all of us, the part of us that wants to get even with everyone who has ever gotten the better of us, the part that finds it easier to understand a stereotype than an individual, the part that dreams of vengeance that never fails and never leaves an aftertaste of guilt. 21 Bruce Springsteen appeals to the best in all of us. His songs ask us to forgive the sinner but to remember the sin; to respect one another but to question authority; to refuse to compromise our ideals ("no retreat, no surrender"); to keep growing but to continue to love our parents and our home towns; to feel a responsibility for sharing with our countrymen who have less property and less power. 22 "I think what's happening now," Springsteen told one interviewer, "is people want to forget. There was Vietnam, there was Watergate, there was Iran--we were beaten, we were hustled, and then we were humiliated. And I think people got a need to feel good about the country they live in. But what's happening, I think, is that need--which is a good thing--is gettin' manipulated and exploited . . . 23 "One of the things that was always on my mind was to maintain connections with the people I'd grown up with and the sense of community where I came from. That's why I stayed in New Jersey. The danger of fame is in forgetting."

Course Reviews
Wow, I'm surprised not more has been said about this course! Had so much fun playing it so I couldn't let this go without creating a username and posting something here for a review. Seen and played a lot of courses all over MN, IA and WI and this one is seemingly a little known about, top notch course. If it is not top-notch in challenging, ridiculously awesome holes, it is without a doubt in class of its own, dare i say world class, with its spectacular views!! WOW! The only things here keeping it from being a 5star course in my opinion are the holes and tees are not necessarily easy to find and the overgrowth is wickedly thick. Spotting highly recommended! Also, I do not know with the resort in foreclosure if it is ok to play here? No signs were posted that we could find telling us otherwise… Still, we are planning on going back this fall when the foliage is less thick!
Love ski resort courses! Adventurous, challenging and beautiful with length, variety and elevation. This one would garner a 4 with better tees (concrete please), better navigation signage and a bit more clearance of the rough.

How to work out in style
This spring, workout wear isn't just functional -- it's taken a fashion-forward turn, with daring prints, intricate details and look-at-me shades -- even in pants. Bold hues are huge, says Marissa Stephenson, fitness editor at Self magazine. Neons, jewel tones, coral and yellow are just some of the top shades for fitted jackets, tops, sports bras and, yes, even pants.

Honest Guy Looking for Romantic Relationship
Hi, I'm a 43 year old single man looking for a committed romantic relationship. I have a great family and wonderful friends, but would love to meet a special woman. I grew up in southern California, but have lived in the East Bay for the past 12 years. I have a great job that I enjoy very much - I'm an environmental Geologist. Unfortunately, I don't meet very many single women at work and I am not into the bar scene. I enjoy the outdoors – camping, hiking, kayaking, boating, fly fishing and would love to meet a woman who enjoys the same. I also enjoy reading, good conversation, good food, and traveling. I live with my dog Laney (see photo). She's a great dog with lots of energy and would love to have someone else throw her ball.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I like Cats
Middle of the Road
I enjoy the outdoors - Mountains, Beach, Delta, etc. I visited Europe many years ago and would love to see it again. Austraila and New Zealand are also on my list.
My favorite things to do when its raining outside - watch a movie, read a book, try to keep my dog out of the mud.
I enjoy the outdoors - camping, kayaking, fly fishing, boating, etc. Movies at home or theatre. Traveling - US and abroad.
I enjoy reading very much - usually history or other nonfiction. Some recent books I've read include: Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water and A Peace to End All Peace: the Creation of the Modern Middle East

Lady Antebellum Offer Acoustic Performance of 'Downtown'
Are you totally digging Lady Antebellum's current hit, 'Downtown'? If so, you'll love the acoustic version the trio offered up during a recent Webisode Wednesday.

Things are about to turn to gold for Lady Antebellum. The country trio will release their fourth studio album, 'Golden,' on May 7.
Country trio Lady Antebellum has surprised fans with all kinds of exciting developments lately, including a funky music video and a fun new fundraiser. Followers of the group will be glad to know of one more new bit of news, regarding their highly anticipated new album.
While Lady Antebellum are well-known for their music dynasty -- with loads of hit songs and millions of records sold -- they are also masters in something in the non-music world: ping pong.
Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum shared a few more details about the trio's new album and Hillary Scott's pregnancy during an interview with WGNA radio recently. The band -- who will play the Taste of Country Music Festival in June -- has just released 'Downtown' as the lead single from a fourth album which Haywood says will follow suit.
Lady Antebellum were guests on the daytime gab fest 'The Talk' on Wednesday (Feb. 6), where they touched on a whole host of topics ranging from singer Hillary Scott's pregnancy to how her bandmates will be spoiling her baby (when it arrives), plus a little Grammys chatter and to how the trio a bit of a musical left turn with their infectious new single 'Downtown.'
'The Voice' just got even more country. With Blake Shelton serving as the winning coach for two years in a row and inviting Sheryl Crow to be his team's mentor for Season 4, his bromantic partner, fellow coach Adam Levine, is sticking it to him and goin' country, too! Levine has chosen pregnant Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott to serve as his team's advisor.
If you're a visual learner, be sure to watch Lady Antebellum's 'Downtown' lyric video. The country trio has provided the perfect way to learn the all the words to their newest single, all while bobbing your head and tapping your feet to this playful and energetic hit.
As Hillary Scott's due date draws near, we're all ears on any baby news from the spunky Lady Antebellum singer. Scott recently delved into the details of her pregnancy, citing fatigue as her number one difficulty and discussing baby names and exciting news that ties the highly-anticipated newborn with Lady A's new album.
Lady Antebellum brought their new brand spanking new single 'Downtown' to 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' on Jan. 29, closing out the show after midnight. The threesome, who will headline the Taste of Country Festival this June, delivered the upbeat, uptempo and undeniably catchy song flawlessly via the late night platform.
Last week, Beyonce sang the national anthem flawlessly at the second inauguration of President Barack Obama. Then it was revealed that she sang to a pre-recorded track, meaning she lip-synced. It caused an uproar in the media. We know what Miranda Lambert thought of the situation, but how about Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott? How did one of country music's best belters feel?
Lady Antebellum aren't the only ones who had their eyes on the song 'Downtown,' their new single.
