One of the best films of the year has it all...crime, drama, comedy, sports, and heart. "The Fighter" is based on the true story of two boxing brothers in the 1980s. The film stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. Bale plays the role of Dickey Eklund the pride of blue collar Lowell, MA. He was destined to be a champion in the ring but after a humiliating defeat by Sugar Ray Leonard, he descended into a life of drugs and crime and goes to jail. His younger half-brother Mickey (Mark Wahlberg) takes up the banner and becomes "The Fighter." Bale's performance is oscar-worthy in a supporting role as the crackhead, bug-eyed brother and trainor. Wahlberg's acting skills are pretty good as well, he trained for four years to get into boxing shape. Amy Adams does a solid job as the girlfriend. The scene stealers are the ladies who play the Ward posse. Whenever the big haired, trashy looking sisters showed up on screen I just started laughing. This is not your typical boxing movie but I think it may be one of the best I have ever seen. This is has Oscar written all over it, including supporting actor for Bale, best acting ensemble, and perhaps best picture. This classic story of a local boy who makes good is rendered electric by the tremendous performances. I love the fact that its NOT your typical inspirational sports movie. The deep, dark family dynamics are what I think make this film great.Go see for yourself... and stick around during the credits to see footage of the real Mickey and Dickey.

In Word for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author Maria Langer shows how to create, format, and print a wide variety of documents in Microsoft Word 2011. The course covers building outlines, formatting text and pages, working with headers and footers, using themes and styles, adding multimedia, and more. It also shows how to customize and automate Word 2011, including how to record macros. Exercise files accompany the course.
To work with Microsoft Word you need to create a new Word document. As we'll see there are several ways to do this. The Document Gallery is the best way to create a document based on a specific template. If it's not already displaying, choose File > New from Template or press Shift+Command+P. Browse through the templates to choose the template that you want to use and select it. So maybe I want to create a calendar. Maybe I want to use this Photo Calendar option here. You could set options in the side here including Color scheme. Maybe I want to go with this Color scheme and a Font scheme.
When you got the settings the way you wanted, click Choose and it creates this new document. In this particular case it has a wizard attached and I can select the month and it will actually change the dates that are in there. Let's open up the Project Gallery again. If you just want to create a plain document, select All, then select Word Document, and then click Choose, and that creates a blank new document. This is based on the Normal template.
So of course, there is a quicker way to create a plain Word Document. Just choose File > New Blank Document or press Command+N. This opens an empty document window. And finally if you like working with toolbar buttons, you may find the Create New Word Document button very helpful. That's this menu right here. It enables you to create a new document for the view that you need to use. Which way is the best way to create a new Word document? It depends on the kind of document you want to create.
If you want to create a document based on a specific template, you really can't beat the Document Gallery, but if you just need to create a quick blank document to start writing, my choice is Command+N. Choose what works best for you.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and its impact on patients' quality of life has been an increasing subject of research. However, in Germany there is a lack of evidence-based interventions consistent with the multidimensional character of fatigue. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a self-management program for disease-free cancer patients to cope with CRF.
Based on evidence extracted from a literature review, a curriculum for the self-management program was elaborated. The curriculum was reviewed and validated by an interdisciplinary expert group and the training-modules will be pretested with a small number of participants and discussed in terms of feasibility and acceptance.
To determine the efficacy of the program a randomised controlled trial will be carried out: 300 patients will be recruited from oncological practices in Bremen, Germany, and will be allocated to intervention or control group. The intervention group participates in the program, whereas the control group receives standard care and the opportunity to take part in the program after the end of the follow-up (waiting control group). Primary outcome measure is the level of fatigue, secondary outcome measures are quality of life, depression, anxiety, self-efficacy and physical activity. Data will be collected before randomisation, after intervention, and after a follow-up of 6 months.
Because there are no comparable self-management programs for cancer survivors with fatigue, the development of the curriculum has been complex; therefore, the critical appraisal by the experts was an important step to validate the program and their contributions have been integrated into the curriculum. The experts appreciated the program as filling a gap in outpatient cancer care.
If the results of the evaluation prove to be satisfactory, the outpatient care of cancer patients can be broadened and supplemented.
Trial Registration
ClinicalTrials NCT00552552
Most cancer patients experience fatigue as a symptom of their disease or as a side effect of treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy or surgery. It is described as a subjective feeling of extreme tiredness and decreased functional status, which are not adequate to activities performed and are not relieved by sleep or rest [1]. The specific manifestations may be physical, mental or emotional [2].
A small number of patients recover from cancer-related fatigue after cessation of treatment, but in a significant proportion of cancer survivors the fatigue persists for several months or even years. Estimated rates for the prevalence of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients range from 17% to 56% subject to type and stage of cancer and the fatigue assessment instrument [3-7]. But often CRF is not diagnosed because cancer survivors rarely report it and doctors and nurses do not automatically focus on this symptom [1,8].
CRF is described as a more distressing symptom than nausea, vomiting or pain and it impairs the quality of life [8-12]. According to this, everyday life is also severely restricted: it leads to prolonged disability with consequences for the resumption of social life as well as work [13-15].
The aetiology of CRF after termination of treatment is currently the object of research. The majority of work to date suggests that the level of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients is correlated more strongly with psychosocial factors like activity level, sleep problems and psychological distress than to type of cancer or type and extent of cancer treatment [7,16-18].
The common regimen of CRF focuses on single interventions such as treatment of anaemia [15,19,20] – which actually is necessary if haemoglobin levels are low – or on increasing physical activity [21-25]. In many cases, though, this is not sufficient because the multidimensional character of CRF, and especially the psychosocial components are not addressed adequately. There is evidence that behavioural changes combined with an increase of the level of physical activity and the restructuring of daily routine as well as personal consultation result in a sustainable reduction of fatigue [1,3,12,13,26-31].
Our study, therefore, has aims on different levels: to create and test a self-management program which empowers disease-free cancer patients to cope with fatigue and to achieve an improvement in the outpatient care of cancer. In addition, the interaction between depression, anxiety and fatigue will be investigated.
Our predictions are:
1. Participation in the self-management program FIBS (Fatigue individuell bewältigen – ein Selbstmanagementprogramm [Coping with fatigue individually – a self-management-program]) significantly decreases the level of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients.
2. Participation in the self-management program FIBS increases the quality of life in disease-free cancer patients.
3. FIBS has a positive impact on participants' levels of anxiety and depression.
Development of the self-management program
To define the contents of the intervention an intensive literature review was conducted. The following were identified as essential subjects for the curriculum:
• medical background and causes of CRF
• physical activity and moderate exercise
• restructuring daily schedules
• energy conservation
• stress-management and relaxation strategies
• coping with negative emotions
• integrating the new knowledge into everyday life.
The program aims at impacting on health-related self-efficacy by the training of problem solving, goal setting, and cognitive techniques as knowledge transfer hasn't proved sufficient to achieve changes in behaviour. According to this we developed a curriculum in which detailed information is provided for every module concerning objectives, background, methods and materials. The program will be administered by qualified nurses to groups of eight participants. It includes six weekly sessions à 90 minutes each dealing with one of the topics listed above.
Formative evaluation
The curriculum was reviewed and validated by an expert group of oncologists, psycho-oncologists, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, health scientists, and patients. The tutors were trained with these results. The preliminary modules were tested with a small number of patients and discussed regarding feasibility, acceptance and improvements. After revision by the expert group and the research team, the program was implemented.
Summative evaluation
Design and setting
A randomized controlled trial with intervention and a control condition will be applied to evaluate the efficacy of our self-management program to reduce the level of fatigue in disease-free cancer patients. The study is conducted at the information centres for cancer in Bremen, Germany. A summary of trial design is given in figure 1.
Figure 1. Summary of trial design.
Identification of eligible patients/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The recruitment of the patients will be carried out by oncologists in Bremen. The practices are informed about our study through participation in the expert group as well as through publications in relevant medical journals and personal information from a member of the research team. Criteria for inclusion in the study are: Patients must be over18 years of age and diagnosed with malignant tumours. They should have finished active treatment be in a stable condition with an ECOG performance status [32] of 0–2. Their level of fatigue should be rated as moderate (4–6) or severe (7–10) on a scale from 0–10. Formally, exclusion criteria are a life expectancy less than 12 months, profound brain tumours or metastases, cognitive disorders or severe psychiatric conditions.
Eligible patients will be informed of the ongoing study and asked by their oncologists to participate. They will be invited to a briefing in which they will be informed in detail about objectives and study procedures. Subsequently they will be asked to give their written informed consent.
Participants are continually randomized to the self-management program or a waiting control group. Members of the waiting group receive the intervention after the intervention group has completed their follow-ups, which will be about six months after inclusion in the study. The allocation to each group will be based on a random list with balanced bloc randomization. The randomization will take place each time 16 study participants are eligible. In terms of concealment, patients will be informed of their assignment by phone.
As consequence of the design with intervention compared to no intervention blinding of the participants is futile. But to avoid any bias, data entry and analysis will be performed by neutral researchers who are blinded to group allocation.
Data Collection and Outcome measures
Data will be collected three times by self-rated measures: Baseline data will be collected before patients are randomized to one group. The second measurement will take place each time after an intervention has taken place for the intervention and its associated control group. A follow-up will be carried out six months later.
Fatigue is the primary outcome measured by the Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ) [33]. The instrument differentiates between physical, cognitive and affective fatigue and defines the level of fatigue on a scale from 0 to 60.
Secondary outcomes to test the behavioral impact of the intervention are general self-efficacy [34], self-efficacy of physical activity [35], levels of physical activity [36], and knowledge about fatigue and its therapy.
Further outcomes which are potentially related to/affected by fatigue are anxiety and depression measured by the German version of the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) [38] and quality of life by the EORTC QLQ-C30 [39].
To control for differences between the groups and possible confounders, several sociodemographic variables and medical background information are also recorded.
Outcomes are measured at three different points in time: before randomization; after completion of the program, which is about six weeks later; and after a follow-up at six months.
Sample size considerations
In terms of detecting a difference in FAQ scorings of 4 points with a median of 15 (alpha = 0.05; beta = 0.2) and 25% estimated rate of drop-outs, 300 patients (150 in each group) have to be recruited; therefore, about 19 randomization processes, as described above, have to be carried out over the entire term in order to assemble groups of 8 participants.
The effect size d was calculated as a result of inconsistent presumptions regarding the other outcomes describing the expected effects and standard deviations. If 300 patients are included, a small to moderate effect size of 0.35 can be detected in a two-tailed test setting alpha = 0.05 and beta = 0.2, which is assumed to be satisfactory.
Data analysis
Data analysis will be carried out according to an analysis protocol following the "intention to treat principle." The primary analysis will be a comparison of the levels of fatigue in the intervention and the control groups and their changes over the course of time. Logistic regression models and variance analyses will be used to determine the impact/effect modification of secondary outcomes and to control for possible differences between the groups. All significance tests will be two-tailed and chosen allowing for scale levels.
Ethical considerations
Full ethical approval for this study has been obtained by the ethical committee of the University of Bremen, Germany.
Time plan
Development and formative evaluation of the intervention began in April 2007 and was finished in January 2008. Patient recruitment therefore began in February and will continue until February 2010. The study will be completed in June 2010.
FIBS is expected to be an effective intervention to control fatigue by achieving behavioural changes in disease-free cancer patients.

Mall attack to cost Kenya $200 million in tourismBy JACOB KUSHNER
The Associated Press | October 02,2013AP PHOTO
A giraffe eats a food pellet from the mouth of a foreign visitor at the Giraffe Centre, in the Karen neighborhood of Nairobi, Kenya, Monday. The risk to the countrys tourism was one of the first concerns expressed by officials during the initial days of the Westgate Mall siege, but tourists continue to fly to Kenya for safaris and beach vacations seemingly despite a number of foreigners being killed in last weeks attack.NAIROBI, Kenya When Ohio resident Bill Haynes heard about the shooting at Westgate Mall by Islamic extremist gunmen last month, he considered canceling his upcoming 17-day safari to Kenya and Tanzania.
You cant help but be concerned, said Haynes, 67. Heres a place were going to be in about five days and there are some terrorists shooting the place up. That would cause anybody to give some pause.
Acting on advice from a friend in Nairobi, Haynes went through with his trip except for a stop at Lamu, a coastal city near Somalia where a French woman was kidnapped in 2011.
The risk to tourism was one of the first concerns officials expressed after the attack that left at least 67 dead including 18 foreigners. Tourism generates 14 percent of Kenyas GDP and employs 12 percent of its workforce, according to Moodys Investment Services and the World Travel and Tourism Council.
Moodys predicts the attack will cost Kenyas economy $200 to $250 million in lost tourism revenue, estimating it will slow growth of Kenyas GDP by 0.5 percent. Kenyas 2012 GDP was $41 billion.
Evidence would seem to indicate that 2013 could well be a very difficult year for the local tourism industry, according to a report released Tuesday by Business Monitor International, which revised its 2013 outlook for Kenyas tourism growth from 3 percent down to 1.5 percent.
Tourism is Kenyas largest earner of foreign exchange after tea and coffee exports, generating $4.7 billion in 2011, according to Moodys and the World Travel and Tourism Council.
Kenya is Africas fifth largest tourist destination, welcoming approximately 1.8 million visitors each year. Nearly half come from Britain and Europe, while visitors from the United States became an increasing share of the total during the past two years, according to Kenyas Ministry of Tourism.
The anticipated toll on tourism is expected to magnify the decline in tourist arrivals caused by the massive fire Nairobi airports arrivals terminal in August.
Tourists continue to fly here to visit Maasai Mara National Reserve, where the great wildebeest migration is underway as 2 million animals move north for the season. Authorities are sensitive to anything that could keep visitors away from Kenyas Indian Ocean beaches and its game parks teeming with giraffes, zebras and other wild animals.
Just hours after the mall attack began, Kenyas tourism ministry rushed to reassure travelers that Kenya is peaceful and our security agencies are doing everything possible to ensure that everyone is safe.
Kenyas tourism minister said the attack was a small hiccup in Kenyas resilient tourism sector and predicted long-term growth to continue.
This was a very unfortunate, isolated case and its being managed, Phyllis Kandie told the Associated Press over the phone Tuesday. I believe its safe to go to any part of Kenya, and Id advise travelers to travel as normal.
But the U.S. State Department last week warned would-be visitors that terrorism remains a concern and that violent crime and kidnappings can occur at any time and in any location.
Kenyas Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku called the advisory unfriendly and unnecessary at a news conference Sunday, requesting the U.S. lift the advisory which he said was not helping.
Neither the Westgate attack nor the advisory dissuaded hundreds of tourists from snapping photos of baby elephants at the popular David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage inside the Nairobi National Park earlier this week.
We had a lot of calls from people to see if we were still going to come, but it has been safe so far, said Anne Plant, 16, who was visiting from Canada.
Two upscale hotels located just blocks from the mall had cancelations last week, although managers assured guests of their safety.
Last week we had a lot of people trying to keep away from this area, but this week it has actually picked up and come back, said Neelma Maru, Sales Manager of the Sankara hotel, a five-minute walk from Westgate Mall.
Every country worldwide has crises once in a while like this, Maru said. I think if we fear from terrorist attacks then they gain what they wanted, putting fear in us and keeping us from living a normal life.
In a news conference the day after the attack, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga said police increased security at malls throughout the country, although reporters visiting area malls found no visible difference in security procedures that are widely considered cosmetic.
Not all were reassured. The large, alcoholic beverage producer Diageo relocated its October business investors conference from Nairobi to London following news of the attack.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Investing 101: Where To Get Started
Getting a good dose of investing 101 can propel your financial goals. Investing is something people have done for hundreds of years. The goal of putting your money into something that will yield a bigger return on profit not only provides you with that profit but also helps businesses to grow and develop. The key to investing, is having a basic understanding of where to invest, how much to invest and when to stop investing. It is not always the simplest of formulas to come up with!
The good news is that the Internet has opened up new possibilities and given everyday people the ability to invest. So, where do you start for your investing 101 education? You should know several basics before moving on.
Risk is part of any investment. There are very few ways to make a guaranteed amount of money without losing at least some of what you put into your investment. The more the reward promises to be, the riskier it is. In order to understand the risk of any investment, you first must determine what your risk tolerance is. Ask yourself, "If I lost all of the money I am investing? How much would I be financially hurt by it?" Every person's risk tolerance is different. The bottom line is that you should invest in portfolios that fit your level of risk tolerance. If you do not feel comfortable with too much risk, look for less volatile investments.
The Stock Market
While there are other ways to invest, the stock market is one of the key areas to place your money because of the potential benefits there. Take some time to learn about not only the United States' stock market, but also the international stock market as these growing markets are starting to define economies on a global level. In short, when you buy a stock, you buy a piece of a company. The funds you give to that company as a stockholder allow the business to grow and expand. When they do, you profit. While a bit more complex, this is the basics of how the stock market works.
Less Risky Investments
As I mentioned, not every stock has to be high risk. Many stocks on the stock market are, but some are not. There are also other types of investing you can use if you are looking for less risk. For example, a CD, or Certificate of Deposit, is one of the oldest methods of investment and works very simply. You put your funds away into a deposit account for a specific amount of time, and the value grows through interest payments.
Investing 101 can be quite complex, yet with some time, experience and a willingness to learn, you can and will become a skilled investor. Using the resources you have online, as well as those you have around you, you can become a successful investor in both the short and long term. Take the time to find the right investment methods for your personal needs.

A Maze in Tradition
The legacy of the McKee corn maze is something of a glowing needle that is worthy of being found.
For years, the McKee family has hosted friends, neighbors and strangers from communities near and far, to chance their skills of navigating a field of corn. At 12 acres, the corn maze, is where a kid can be a kid and an adult can be a kid, too.
On the family farm, off Kiger Road in Northern Orange County, the McKee's devote time, energy, and a healthy dose of creativity to their maze and during the last two weeks of October, the energy within the maze takes on a haunted theme.
The corn maze just doesn't happen. Early in the summer, David McKee turns his attention to preparing the land and planting corn. Like all farming endeavors, success in seed to germination to the growth of a plant depends on a number of factors, with many being out the farmer's hands. Yet before tractor and planter enters the field, Vickie McKee uses her artistic abilities to plot and plan; what she creates will be the design of the maze.
"We have had many different designs over the years, with most honoring the tradition of agriculture or something else symbolic to our state," Vickie McKee said.
As stewards of the land and valued members of the community, the McKees began their maze for many reasons, among them because it was something wholesome for the community and families to enjoy.
Over the years, several youths, friends and family have assisted the McKees with their maze as attendants and in other roles. Last year, when the community of Caldwell suffered through and continues to heal from the loss of Kacie Chamberlain and Chase Underhill, the McKees joined other efforts in recognizing their lives through something unique in the maze.
"Kacie worked here and she was what the old timers describe as, 'an old soul,'" McKee said. Having been moved by the loss and impact in their community, Vickie McKee incorporated into the maze this year, symbols that honor the young legacy of Chamberlain and Underhill. "We got pleasure in watching Kacie's interactions with people as well as the love she had with our farm animals," Vickie said. Within the maze, McKee designed a horseshoe along with Kacie's initials and her softball number. For Chase, whom the McKees got to know through youth baseball, Vickie McKee designed a cowboy boot with his initials. "Both symbols have halos above them," says Vickie. From proceeds of their maze, the McKees will contribute to scholarships in memory of Chase and Kacie, as well as supporting OCIM, Breast Cancer Awareness, and contributing to the Piedmont Livestock Show.
The maze presents consistent challenges for adults, and there are good-natured competitions for those who attempt to race the clock from entrance to exit. And while the maze offers family entertainment and an opportunity to inhale the wonder of a natural rural landscape, it is the special dates of the haunted maze that increase the allure of attending.
There will be food and refreshments during these special haunted maze times. From within the maze, the McKees have found a niche tradition that is important to their community. The symbolism inside the maze this year is both reflective an agricultural passion and the memories of two important youth from the community. The McKees hope those who visit the maze will find adults acting like kids and kids acting like kids, and that inside the maze, the halo reminds of lives lost and lives found in memory.

Well, for today's movie I tried to watch The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning. But it was just so bad that after 25 minutes, I shut it off. I couldn't take it. So I am now watching the original to make up for it.

Press today is so concerned with cool vs. not cool that they're starting to forget good vs. bad. I'm not sure I'll ever be "cool", but I will always tirelessly strive to be "great". - Josh Groban
She's Out of My League. OK romantic gross out comedy, not as well written as others in the genre but generally funny with a couple of really hilarious set-ups, and it has it's heart in the right place.
Predator 2. It's not like I'm a huge fan of the Predator franchise, but I have seen and liked Predator and Predators enough that I thought I should check out the middle film too. I liked it. On the one hand, this is definitely the most dated of the 3 films with over-the-top 80's cops and bad guys, and it's easy to see how it borrowed heavily from popular 80's films Robocop, Lethal Weapon, and Ghostbusters. Also, taking it from the rainforest jungle to urban jungle probably sounded like a clever gimmick, and while it did create some interesting possibilities it mainly made it feel like a standard cop story. In spite of all that, the last 25 minutes were very exciting [SPOILERS] starting w/ the battle in the slaughterhouse, chase across the rooftops, and ending in the Predator ship. That's what I like best about the Predator series: one-on-one, head-to-head, and in that sense it really delivered.
Ramona & Beezus. It was cute, not much to it, really, but it's nice to have a family movie without suggestive stuff that goes over the kids heads, and free from fart-jokes and other gags.

The Karate Kid (2010). Surprisingly well made and effective remake. Id go so far to say its one of the best films Ive seen this summer. I was pretty skeptical at first but I will see pretty much anything w/ Jackie Chan. I can never say the new film is better than the original Im way too biased having grown up with it and the 1st sequel. But despite the fact the new one follows the events of the original pretty closely this new one absolutely feels like a complete film that stands out on its own. The direction and pace really develop the characters and relationships. Ill always love Miyagi more, but Jackie Chan and the writers really make Han into a completely different character. Miyagi was a quiet but cheerful man that had generally overcome his demons, whereas Han has been beaten down by life. Its a very different personality for Chan to be playing, and very much one of his best performances to date. And no matter your opinion of Jaden Smith the kid, what he lacks in experience he makes up for with raw projection and nails every poignant scene. He is a formidable child actor who makes Dre less angry and more vulnerable than Daniel-san was portrayed. My guess is none of the new films scenes will ever be iconic as wax on, wax off, but I daresay a couple of the remade scenes play better than the original, and Smiths splits kick is pretty incredible. Im really surprised by how much I liked this film.
Leap Year
For some reason, Amy Adams will always be Giselle to me. This was a sweet movie. Matthew Goode was just the absolute cutest. It makes me really want to find a cute guy with a British or Irish accent that isn't Robert Pattinson.
Brooklyn's Finest
Despite an AMAZING cast I found the movie pretty boring to be honest.
Green Zone
It was a decent story, nothing really new or overly amazing though. And I must say ... this was the most grainy Blu Ray I've seen (even taking into account older movies). Not sure what the deal was, or if that's what the director was going for or what. It was actually distracting.
Shutter Island
i know i'm super late on the watching shutter island ferry.. but i did enjoy the movie. i saw it more as a deep character development movie than i did for its plot, and Leo DiCaprio, i feel, had a better acting performance than he did in Inception (which he did very well in as well). watching it a second time, i really get to see all the extremely small details that point in the direction of the true story
1962's How The West Was Won Got to see it absolutely complete, widescreen, and uncut with NO interruptions. It even included the full five min intermission with the songs and footage shown, also had the EXIT for the end with the five minute songs and no credits, just the word EXIT. (Credits were at the beginning of films back then). What an incredible film and a list of Who's Who for the cast.
I first saw this when was 7 years old in the Cinerama Dome (Archlight) theater in Hollywood. If I remember correctly it was filmed in Cinerama specifically for the theater (it has a HUGE wrap-around screen).
This always has been one of my favorite films and a delight to get to see it in it's original presentation again!
Over the last three weeks I watched a bunch:
On DVD:
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - The only Harry Potter movie I haven't seen yet besides of course the upcoming Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2. I really enjoyed this one. I liked the whole time travel/shift sequence, and it filled a few gaps for me in the overall Harry Potter story line.
Followed this one up with:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - The first Harry Potter movie I saw in the theater. This was just my second viewing since the theater. I haven't read any of the books, but people say this one has some key scenes cut out. I can't comment as I haven't read the book, however the movie is still enjoyable.
I didn't have the next two Harry Potters on DVD yet, and I was still in a fantasy movie mood so next I watched:
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe - just as fun as the first few times I watched it.
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - I guess I'm one of the few that enjoyed the movie. Looking forward to Dawn Treader at Christmas, but disappointed Disney bailed out on this series.
I went on a quick road trip to Alberta, up to Edmonton via the Jasper parkway and down to Calgary. While in Edmonton, at the West Edmonton Mall went to see:
The Sorcerer's Apprentice - I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. When they first announced this project I wasn't really interested; sorcerers in modern day New York? But with each trailer they released it caught my interest more and more.
At home on DVD, felt like a classic live-action Disney movie. Went thru my library and realized I haven't watched this one yet:
Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier - Not bad. Quite enjoyable. Last time I saw it was sometime in the 80s on TV on one of those Disney aferrnoon shows. Would be good if these movies were resurrected again and sparked interest in and breathed new life in Frontierland in Disneyland. I've got the 2-movie set with River Pirates, so I'll be watching that one in the near future.
Last night at the local theater:
Inception - Wow! What a show! You can't go wrong with Chris Nolan. I can best describe this as Mission: Impossible meets The Matrix. I've been hooked on Nolan's movies ever since he filmed Insomnia in my hometown of Port Alberni. Inception is complex and is definitely worthy of repeat viewings, like Nolan's The Prestige. Looking forward to Nolan's next project which will be Batman 3, or is that 7?
In the mean time I managed to get a hold of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on DVD, so that's what I'm watching next.

Sherlock Holmes - BORING! It made me goto sleep twice today.
*my reason for having no choice but to watch it*
My job made it a special movie day today. The "associate" decided to pick Sherlock Holmes. I could have picked a movie too. But there was no good choices for us to choose from (I wish the Blind Side was one of the choices) . Though, I did guessed Sherlock Holmes. But that was a very small want from beginning.
Sorry for anyone that likes Sherlock Holmes. For now, on Sherlock Holmes will not be my cup of tea. I needed a pot of coffee, after seeing this.

Wednesday, July 29
12:10–12:40 p.m.FREE ~ Voluntary offering
We're almost ready to post the new season of Friends of Music events. Keep your eyes on this space for the announcement of the 2013–2014 events, and thanks for your interest!
PPC's distinguished history of musical excellence, including celebrated conductors, singers and organists, has long played a major role in the congregation's worship and outreach.
PPC's Music Ministry currently encompasses three adult choirs, two children's choirs, a handbell choir, two praise bands and several ad hoc ensembles, led by a talented professional and volunteer staff across three language communities. Our ongoing concert offerings include the Friends of Music series and the weekly Music at Noon. This Web site will help you discover how you can enjoy PPC's rich musical offerings, and perhaps even how you can become involved.
Organist Timothy Howard opens Pasadena Presbyterian Church's 2014–2015 Friends of Music concert series with a free recital on the church's magnificent Aelian-Skinner pipe organ on Monday, November 10, at 8:00pm. The church is located at 585 E. Colorado Blvd. (corner of Madison Ave.) in the Playhouse District of downtown Pasadena. The recital is co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. As are all programs on the seven-concert Friends of Music series, the recital is free (a freewill offering will be taken). Free parking is available and the Sanctuary is handicap-accessible.
In his program, Howard will play music by Johann Sebastian Bach, André Fleury, Paul Halley, and Cal State Northridge Professor Emeritus William Toutant. Howard will also create an improvisation for the program.
With gratitude to everyone who participated in our October 25 Social/Fundraising event, we are pleased to announce that we came very close to our fundraising target. With nearly 100 items on offer from more than 30 donors, food catered by our friends at El Portal restaurant, we not only saw success in fundraising but also had a genuinely good time together. This was the first time we've held the Fall fundraiser at Pasadena Presbyterian Church; participants agreed that PPC's Gamble Lounge and South Hall were agreeable spaces for the silent auction, food and drink.
PPC's Pipe Organ
Seven concert events have been announced for Friends of Music's 2014–2015 season. In addition to the Series' traditional offerings of Candlelight & Carols in December and the Good Friday Devotional Concert in April, there are two organ recitals on the church's iconic Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ, and two concerts by PPC resident groups. As has become customary, the season wraps up with "Jazz for the City" in June.

Slip inside the jab-straight right to the body
this never works for me in sparring but when doing drills it feels ok
now 2nd is even worse for me
inside slip-left hook to the body
this never feels good sparring or drilling
i feel streched out and off balance
my coach says
that i should step more to the left when i do it
but man
the guy is throwing a fast jab, how do i get the time to
slip and step to left-throw the shot+his elbow is there to block
now is it me doing these 2 wrong
or are they just not realistic to do
well id argue that every counter works if you position yourself right. I know its not the answer you want but realistically yes both are good combination and both are there majority of the time if you one, hit him enough to make him put a high guard and the second one hit enough to put his guard low. Timing depends on how good your timing is, since its a sparring match i suggest practicing your timing, testing it in sparring. If you get hit who cares, your sparring.

I ended up giving it (reluctantly) to my mother in law. ( I really wanted to keep it.) If you are a first timer to cables, this is the project for you.
We use our cookie press to make cookies every Christmas. Just as my mother did for us and her mother did for her. Always using the camel, the tree and the wreath disc. This year we tried another disc after seeing a friends.
You press it into one long strip, sprinkle with the nonpareils, (which just by chance are small enough to get caught in the ridges and don't roll off your cookie sheet!) and then cut it into the size of the cookie you want. (All before baking.) These were a great addition. I also think these would be great for a birthday party.
Christmas Press Cookies:
1 cup butter::3/4 cup sugar::2 egg yoks::1 tsp almond extract::2 1/2 cups flour::1/8 tsp salt::1/4 tsp baking powder. Cream butter, sugar, egg, extract, flour, salt and b. powder. Mix. Add food coloring (optional). Press. Bake 375˚ for 8 minutes.
Almost 2010. SO hard to believe.

To say our bird watching season starts in April is a misnomer as there is much to see year round, but it does give us a place to start as it is when migratory birds begin arriving and passing through to points north at their summer breeding grounds here in the Green Mountains. The vanguard of the spring migration starts to show before the snow has completely melted, and it is not uncommon to see large groups of robins, sparrows, and red winged black birds crowded on bare patches of ground that dot the landscape searching for food. In addition, many hawks can be seen hunting the field edges as the retreating snow banks expose the winter dens of many rodent as well as riding thermals over head. As the days progress into May the migration peaks with the arrival of colorful warblers, melodic vireos, striking tanagers, nimble flycatchers, and a host of other migrants. They set up breeding territories and begin a new cycle of life on the planet earth.
The bird song can be so loud and pervasive at times that it can be difficult to separate out individuals as they attract mates and defend territories. For those of us here at the Lodge it is sweet music that begins the day. In addition, the forest trees have not completely leafed out yet which makes viewing easy.
As spring blends into summer our feathered neighbors begin the earnest business of raising and fledging young from the nest sites. Adult Kildeer perform their drop wing defense to distract you away from the ping pong ball sized precocial young and Eastern Phoebes intercept insects in mid air to feed growing chicks at the nest. While the early morning bird song drops off from spring's intensity nest activity reaches its own fevered pitch as males and females come and go bringing food to their hungry broods.
As summer transitions to Vermont's idyllic fall we see a great spike in the number of birds flying about. The young of the year fledge the nest and begin life outside the comforts of their parents wing (no pun intended…really). It can make for some of the most delightfully challenging, and exciting, bird watching of the year with the drab and undistinguishable markings of immature birds making each sighting new.
This season is also the beginning of the fall migration and a great many birds begin one of the greatest spectacles of the natural world. Some leave the Lodges property and fly as far away as Central and South America. Others, like the Snow Bunting and White Crowned Sparrow, leave the Arctic tundra and Boreal forests of the far north and fly to Vermont for the winter. Still more pass through on their way to their wintering grounds. It is a time to see a great diversity of rare and uncommon birds here on the property; from our year round residents to the irregular migrants passing through. Coupled with our famous landscape and foliage it makes for quite heady days in the fields and forests.
Moreover, as winter sets in, and the snow starts to fall, many birds come out of the spruce/fir and krumholtz forest that crown our mountain tops to the valleys to take up residents in the lower elevations to ride out winter. Dark Eyed juncos and Purple finches set up house in the spaces left empty by those birds that have left the area for the warmer climes of the south. Along with our resident ravens, crows, nuthatches, finches, and wood peckers they make for wonderful ornamentation during a winter's schuss or snow shoe excursion around the property adding a new dimension to our world famous skiing.
One of the greatest things about bird watching here at the Trapp Family Lodge is its accessibility. At any time of day you can step outside any one of the Guest Houses, Villas, or Lodge properties and see a number of birds. A short walk around either the Lodge grounds or on the trail exposes one to a great diversity of bird life. Whether you have a passing interest in birds or are a dedicated ornithologist there is something for you here.

text: Tweet photo by Lou Gold (visionshare on Flickr CC) Half of the Earth's forests have already been cleared or degraded. A lot of this former forestland is used for growing food, but much is unused or underused. All the while more deforestation is taking place in order to feed a growing global population and to increase economic development. A new study argues that these degraded forests could be either reforested or put to productive use, instead of cutting down more virgin forest. In Brazil, reports show that deforestation rose immensely in recent months, in sharp contrast to government studies released last December claiming that Amazon deforestation had fallen to its lowest level in 22 years. Environmentalists say the main culprits for Amazon deforestation are the soya and cattle industries and a failure to enforce existing laws. A Greenpeace spokesperson was quoted by Reuters: You have 300-400 lawmakers here in Brasilia sending the message that profiting from deforestation will be amnestied, that crime pays. Read more in this report from BBC News: At the same time, food prices are way up – 37% since last March, according to the UN's Food Price Index. A plan in Indonesia to use already cleared areas for palm oil plantations – instead of cutting more rainforest for that purpose – may be showing some promise. Representatives of the World Resources Institute's Global Forests Initiative write in the Guardian: Brazilian groups are looking to the Indonesian experience as they struggle to find space for that country's expanding beef, soya and sugar cane enterprises. Through a careful process of defining degraded land, mapping it, and consulting with existing landowners and local communities, plans and policies encourage a shift in future investment to this kind of land and away from the forests of the Amazon. Any such systems need affective enforcement of laws and of course decent laws to begin with and proper planning. How is this possible when the industries that profit from deforestation have such a strong influence over government policies? SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2005 President Bush and first lady Laura Bush were greeted with resounding cheers as they made the first stop of their whirlwind tour of inaugural galas Jan. 20 at the Capital Hilton here.
At the "Salute to Heroes" inaugural ball, hundreds of veterans from across the country, along with their wives and families, greeted the president with a resounding show of support.
Vice President Richard Cheney and his wife, Lynne, stopped in later as they made their way through the inaugural circuit.
Kenneth Stumpf, one of many Medal of Honor recipients who squeezed through tight security inside the hotel to see the president, was particularly happy to be on hand. "I spent my entire life in the military, so whoever was the president, that was my commander-in-chief," he said. "It just so happens I really like this one."
The American Legion sponsors the ball, which recognizes recipients of Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award. It started in 1953 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower's first inauguration.
Event co-sponsors include 13 other veterans service organizations, among them the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
With applause and cheers often interrupting his comments, the president used his brief appearance to thank veterans for their service.
"They have set a fantastic example for those who wear the uniform today," he said. "Our veterans who have served all across the world in the cause of freedom, they have done so in a selfless way and for that, this nation is eternally grateful."
The president also used the occasion to reiterate points made during his inaugural address, speaking on the importance of freedom and saying that United States will succeed in bringing democracy to Iraq.
"We believe in freedom, and we know that free societies will be peaceful societies," the president said.
He also said that by ending tyranny, such as that imposed in Iraq by Saddam Hussein, the United States "Will have fulfilled the obligations of our founding fathers who recognized that every man and woman on the face of the earth should be free."
With the Joints Chiefs of Staff seated on each side of the podium, the president acknowledged the difficulties being placed on the military. "We've asked hard things of our troops and the families of our troops," he said. But he noted the progress made in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Think about what has happened in a very short period of time," he said. "The people of Afghanistan have been liberated by our troops and our friends the Afghans went to the polls by the millions for the first time in 5,000 years," he said. "Very shortly, because of the great work of our military, and the military of our friends, the people of Iraq will be voting. This is a major achievement, and it's a major milestone in the advance of liberty."
The president admitted that bringing liberty to Iraq "has not been easy," but "it's going to happen," he emphasized.
"And when it does, our military, and those of us who have been fortunate enough to be involved with our military, will be able to look back and say we did our duty, we did our duty for freedom, and we did our duty for generations of Americans to come."
Before leaving, the president again expressed thanks to the audience, telling those veterans who have served and those who are now serving, "I am incredibly proud to be your commander in chief."
Outside the ballroom, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Kenneth Preston was enjoying the night's events and said the president's inaugural address and the theme of the "Salute to Heroes" ball gave recognition to the men and women who wear the uniform.
"Being an Army at war and supporting a nation at war," he said, "it's important that we recognize our heroes (and) that we pause for a moment and reflect on their courage, their sacrifice and their dedication. I very am proud of what the men and women of the armed forces are accomplishing, and what they stand for in this country."
