More Community Experiments
24 comments:
- Rock N RollFebruary 3, 2008 at 2:14 PM
Instead of creating Facebook pages, why isn't the Netflix Community web team actually working to fix REAL problems with the Netflix site? Probably the #1 biggest problem is the "Leave a Note" feature of the website. I have left notes for over 300 movies that I have watched in the past, yet when I add a brand new friend into my Netflix community, they CAN'T SEE any of my notes. So what am I supposed to do? Go back through all 300 of my movies and RE-TYPE all of my notes for my one new friend? And then do it all over again when I add another new friend? What is the point of leaving notes if they don't PERPETUATE TO NEW FRIENDS? You guys used to have this working perfectly about 2 years ago when it was called "my two cents" or something like that, and then you guys went in and messed it all up. Do you guys really think that our list of friends isn't growing on a regular basis, and that we don't want our new friends to see our previous notes? Someone needs to sit down and seriously rethink this, and make this work properly again. I'm sure that 98% of users would agree with me on this. (The 2% of users who DON'T agree with me are the ones that are trying to keep certain notes private from their parents or something, which is just ridiculous -- don't add your parents as your friends then.) This feature needs to start working properly again.ReplyDelete
Out of all of the solutions, I think I prefer ning for discussions, but I think this Blog should remain for news posts about new features, etc.ReplyDelete
I made a short blog post on my ning page about why I liked it, but I just found boardhost to be too daunting. It is hard to look at, and understand when someone posted (Times are wrong compared to my region's time), plus people are replying to replied replies, and it is too confusing.
Ning I like because it is colorful, you can adjust settings and have intricate profiles to show people who you are. Sure, it's not a full-fledged forum, but I find it to be the best solution FOR ME so far. I also like being able to add friends on there, just like on Netflix :)
Hopefully everyone continues to join up on Ning, and we can move to there for now.
Despite the shortcomings of its forum application, I think ning is the most fun environment, potentially offering a pretty deep experoence as it develops. The crowd there seems much brighter than the Facebook folk.ReplyDelete
Not to toot my own horn, but I also find that I can be more helpful on Ning, because it is easier for me to keep up with discussions and questions, with the way it updates you that someone has responded to a comment or discussion, etc.ReplyDelete
Yes, but it only shows the most recent updates, which can include comments left by others and profile updates. Those things can be turned off, though. I wonder if people would be willing to turn off those extra notifications so that only comments on the forums are listed. Or that might be too rude of question to ask. People probably like knowing when other things get updated -- I'm new to this sort of community thing (I never got into facebook or myspace) so I'm not sure what everyone's expectations are.ReplyDelete
The ning business card on the right says ning has 55 members. It's 69 as of a couple of minutes ago. Do you have to update it, Michael?ReplyDelete
The Ning number probably gets updated once a day.ReplyDelete
hey michaelReplyDelete
i was wondering if i could make a suggestion for community profiles
right now it lists "most watched movies and directors"
and my only complaint about this is that from rating all seasons of the simpsons or care bears or csi or friends, i get all the actors and directors from those series instead of the actual directors and actors im interested in
so im wondering if there is a way where instead of that, we can just input our actual favourite actors and directors?
I have a 'minor bug'. I set up 4 ques. When I switch between ques and have to reenter my password, Netflix loads up my primary que and not the one i selected.ReplyDelete
rather than 'becoming a fan of' netflix on facebook, how bout a facebook app where people can see what you currently have at home on your netflix queue, and maybe what your next few movies are? it looks like blockbuster is already doing something like that: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6490073218&ref=sReplyDelete
- ColSlade1February 5, 2008 at 2:43 PM
I really, really don't like the new Ning... that is all.ReplyDelete
I second the need for a facebook app for netflixReplyDelete
A facebook app would be cool.ReplyDelete
And how about a way to leave a comment to someone on Netflix. For ex, I like someone's review and wanna tell them so, or I want more information as to why they did or did not like the movie.ReplyDelete
What is the purpose of Ning? Just another thing that we have to register to. Why can't the desired features of Ning be added to Netflix on the user's profile, or another section? I also dislike that thins Ning thing is not actually linked to Netflix (as far as I am aware). Thus, you have to start all over with your friends, there is no space to showcase the reviews you write, the lists, or and the movies you rate, other than writing it all. There is no direct link, no uniformity, no same nickname. Same thing with this blog. Why can't it just be part of Netflix and you can just post blogs in a newly created section, that way you can just click on a person's page and see the blogs they have posted. I just like the idea of finding everything in one place, of uniformity, instead of all these extra communities.ReplyDelete
1) Facebook app. Still thinking about it. Yes, Blockbuster has one.ReplyDelete
2) Why not put the blog and a 'real' message board on the Netflix site? The biggest reason is that I am not sure how many of our 7+ million members would use it; if only a few thousand were interested, it might not warrant the work needed to build it. But I figure i can very quickly and easily set up an offsite version of a blog, of a message board, of a "social network" even - and even if it isn't fully featured, or connected with netflix or even super simple, i will get a sense of interest in it, and the kinds of features that seem to be best suited to netflix. As I have said repeatedly, this is an experiment and it helps me determine whether or not to build something within netflix and if so, what it might be. In the meantime, the community team is working on some other "social" initiatives that I will discuss later this quarter, and we can mess around with ning and the blog and you help steer the development going forward.
But yes, a Facebook app would be cool. We have about 1100 fans of our Netflix page on Facebook. That's really not that many, is it. What if there are only a few thousand Facebook users who are also using Netflix? Should we redirect the team to build something just for them?
At Netflix we gather information in many different ways to help determine what is the best way to spend our limited resources to the maximal benefits of our customers. I appreciate everyone here helping with that process.
Ning is fun but still not the right format for a message board dedicated to Netflix. Netflix needs a bulletin board system with an easy interface to encourage people to participate.ReplyDelete
Ning is better suited to small communities of people who want to interact with each other, when the volume of threads gets too great, discussions that are relatively new are pushed off the page. Bulletin board formats favored by large communities are broken down by areas of interest and keep a large volume of conversations in front of the user. Ning will never be a replacement.
Has there been any movement on listing members reviews in a format in which you can find their individual reviews of particular movies? I would like to know, for instance, what "talltale" thought of a certain movie but don't want to page through all his/her reviews looking for it. Also, it is distracting to be constantly prodded (on the Community Page) to leave a review on a movie you have already reviewed.ReplyDelete
I have a request to restore an old, sorely missed feature. Please, oh please, return the "DVDs Released This Week" button on the home page. The current "New Releases" tab is inefficient, and usually out of date. What happens if I want to know if a series or under-the-radar movie has finally come out? The old set up told me but seeing what was new for that week. The current one is crummy and I hate it to all ends. Fix this now please.ReplyDelete
Also get a proper message board so we customers can organize our complaints and suggestions. This blog set up is confusing at best.
- Heat MiserFebruary 6, 2008 at 7:08 PM
The current "New Releases" tab is inefficient,...The current one is crummy and I hate it to all ends.ReplyDelete
Agreed. Completely. I am not three years old. I don't need sliders to entertain me. Hate them with the blazing intensity of 1000 white hot suns.
And getting back on topic, I would prefer a message board to a social networking site like Ning.
Michael, you've said that Ning is an experiment to see if there is enough interest to warrant a message board that is included within Netflix. However, you have also repeatedly said that the group here is but a very tiny sample of the Netflix membership. If the only way to find out about the Ning site is to read this board, then will Ning really be an accurate indicator of interest? Will there really be any true way to know the level of interest until there is a clearly marked message board housed on the site Netflix site itself? There may be way more hits to this blog then the readership ever knows about, but all I have to go on is what you have told us when there has been an outcry for some feature or another.

Re: Bates Motel seemed like it's going 2 suck, & then it didn't.(Spoil
Dylan knew that Norman's father beat Norma, so Norman must have too unless it was much worse before he was too young to remember? But why would she wait so long to kill him if he beatings were consistent?
It's not angry beatings!
It's BDSM!
The father would tie Norma up and take a riding crop to her ass and shoulders.
Norman would secretly watch, and this is the inspiration for his torture porn manga.
But he took the game to far from game and too close to reality when he couldn't stop slapping her because it made his cock feel entirely really strong for once, and she responded to this by methodically arranging his murder a week later.

We started LO with purees and he has been doing great. Eating a lot actually and liking even less standard veggies like eggplant and mushrooms. He then started to show interest in feeding himself so we slowly started with mum mums, puffs, pieces of banana... But now I'm stuck. What veggies do you guys give as finger foods? Fruit? Have any of you started meats as finger food? I guess I'm not sure how to tell when he's ready for more diverse textures... TIA
What finger foods do you give LO?

Bump! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Should are start with whole peas? Are they easy for LO to chew? FTM here...
Posted 03/27/2013
So far we have done puffs, avocado, feta cheese crumbles, little piece of pickle, celery, pieces of cooked peas & cooked carrots. We haven't started meat yet but will be doing it soon.
Posted 03/27/2013
We do pretty much anything...bananas, sweet potato, squash, pears, apple, peas, chicken, beef, macaroni, eggs, fish, cheese, Shreddies, and the list goes on. If we eat it, so does he.
Posted 03/27/2013
So far mostly veggies, either steamed or from my soup, and beans. She likes black beans and kidney beans. I've tried fruit, like avocado, banana, apple, but she can't pick it up as well just yet.

My lo loooves peas. Her favorite!

My LO hates purées so we have given him raw apple, kiwi, bananas, peaches, pears, cantaloupe, cucumber, avocado, and pineapple, all very ripe and soft. He's also had cooked carrot, zucchini, sweet potato, peas, green beans, wax beans, potato, and eggplant. As for meats, he has tried baked chicken, a piece of pot roast, turkey, and ham. He's had puffs, wagon wheels, arrowroot cookies, and those gerber graduate cheese and veggie snacks. LO is a great eater, rarely chokes, and feeds himself very well with the pincher grasp.
Posted 03/27/2013
We really do anything we eat too. She started to refuse purees lately - so I steam veggies and fruits and just cut them up on her tray - I think she just likes that she can feed herself now.
Posted 03/27/2013
I usually do what we eat too but gerber has graduate meals with rice, and carrots, apples, little spagettios, I get slices turkey or chicken from the deli and it shreds easy I will give her that,peas, cut up macaroni, I've given her chicken noodle soup bc the Veges are super soft and I cut the noodles up for her and shred the chicken, oatmeal, egg yolk, cut up spagetti, as long as you can cut it up and it's soft and comes apart nicely they can have it! I'm still nervous about everything so I shred things in tiny pieces but I'm getting braver bc he can chew really well! Good luck!!
Posted 03/27/2013
I'm so jealous of you all. I tried to feed my lol a mashed up banana the other day. A tiny bite of extremely mashed up banana and she gagged and threw up all over herself. There is no way she was really choking. She just has a really hard time with any sort of texture. It's gonna be a while before finger foods for us.
Posted 03/27/2013
I've also given her shredded cheese, puffs, yogurt melts, cottage cheese, apple sauce, and the middle of a French fry

Not worthy of a peace prize
I totally agree with the letters of Chris Pratt and John Snell. How can we, the U.S., even think of bombarding Syria? That Assad was the one who used the gas is not certain, and we sure wouldnt harm him with our bombs. Besides all the political horror and consequences that become very possible with such a move, there are humans, humans who have already suffered incredibly, and now we want to bomb them to make a point to Assad? With other words: You have been gassed, now we make it all better by bombing you?
Mr. President, can you explain how the Nobel Peace Prize fits in between the drones and the bombs?

Track List
Album Notes
Full performer name: Bill Evans Trio/Lee Konitz/Warne Marsh.
Bill Evans Trio: Bill Evans (piano); Eddie Gomez (bass); Eliot Zigmund (drums).
Additional personnel: Lee Konitz (alto saxophone); Warne Marsh (tenor saxophone).
Recorded at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California on February 28 and March 1 & 2, 1977. Includes liner notes by Helen Keane.
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Personnel: Bill Evans (piano); Lee Konitz (alto saxophone); Warne Marsh (tenor saxophone); Eliot Zigmund (drums).
Recording information: Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA (02/28/1977-03/02/1977).
Evans first performed with saxophonists Lee Konitz and Warne Marshe in 1959, fresh from his legendary work with Miles Davis. Though it took nearly two decades before the three collaborated again, this 1977 effort resounds with spontaneity and freshness as well as a warmth and familiarity that makes for some rewarding interaction. The cool West coast sound of Konitz blends well with Evans' sensitive, sophisticated harmonies. When longtime Evans bassist Eddie Gomez makes his presence felt, as on his solo for "Eiderdown," he proves himself to be the essential active ingredient that prods Evans along to a more visceral interplay with the two saxophonists. Three previously unreleased alternate takes, chosen by original album producer Helen Keane, spice up the package.

Aberdeen confirm Derek McInnes will replace Craig Brown as boss
Derek McInnes says he will target silverware after being appointed as Aberdeen's new manager.
The 41-year-old, who was sacked as Bristol City boss in January, will succeed Craig Brown, who was planning retirement in the summer but now steps aside in two weeks' time.
McInnes and his assistant Tony Docherty have agreed deals until 2015.
Derek McInnes Aberdeen manager
"Having been given an outline of the club's vision of the future I can clearly see the ambition here"
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be given the opportunity to manage a club of the stature of Aberdeen," said McInnes.
Brown, 72, had planned to vacate the dug-out at the end of the season but said he would step aside earlier if the Dons could find an available replacement.
The former Scotland boss and his number two Archie Knox will oversee the next two matches, with McInnes taking over once the Scottish Premier League splits into two halves for the season's climax.
Ninth-placed Aberdeen, who are two points off the top six, host Hearts on Saturday before playing Dundee United at Tannadice.
"Craig and Archie also spoke with Derek to establish the most appropriate timing for a handover of duties," revealed chairman Stewart Milne.
"All agreed that bringing them in now would enable the incoming management team to have time to familiarise themselves with their new club, while Craig and Archie continue with their preparations over the next two games for a final push towards a top-six SPL position."
McInnes will use the next fortnight to familiarise himself with the personnel at Pittodrie.
"In tandem with trying to finish the current campaign in as high a league position as possible, I will also of course be assessing the squad with next season in mind," he said.
"There is so much to do, so many opportunities and I'm really looking forward to get started.
"Having been given an outline of the club's vision of the future I can clearly see the ambition here.
"And I can assure, fans, players, sponsors and everyone associated with Aberdeen Football Club that I will do everything within my power to build a team that will entertain the fans and, more importantly, bring long-awaited success back to this great club."
After beginning his management career at St Johnstone, where he finished his playing career, McInnes led the Saints to First Division title success and promotion to the SPL.
He joined Bristol City in 2011 and kept them in the Championship at the end of last season.
However, a run of poor results led to the former Rangers, Toulouse and West Brom midfielder being sacked in January.

Theres a good point about reminiscing about 83 further back. I joined the Airforce in 83 and had the best ten years of my working life but that dont pay the bills now and "the older I get the better I was" gets boring too. Its a very different world thirty years on and AFC fans should be realistic. Craig Levein would be another M McGhee btw ( I'm confident in my abilities/record blah blah infin )

@171 aberdeen fans have been 'staying away' from dumptodrie for years, bemusing as to how the club thinks it can build a new stadium with no1 to fill it
Comment number 175. Posted by lukas989on 25 Mar 2013 20:50
@162 - everyone but us can see we've underachieved? Plenty of frustration for the crazy slides in form, but dont think many Aberdeen fans have got carried away. I for one though am very happy at the appointment - failure in a short space of time down south doesnt affect much - much more looking towards the success he had with Saints, the stamp he left on that team still carries forth currently.
Comment number 174. Posted by Strange_UBoaton 25 Mar 2013 19:51
worse record than our last 3 managers
Odd comment. He had a 40% win record at StJ got them promoted. Compare this with a 2nd/ 3rd biggest SPL budget and the abject records of 33% for Broonpants and the 27% for MM.
If he does as well as Jimmy Calderwood - 41% - he will be doing okay.
Figures alone, sacking Calderwood and going into a £3m spend on hiring/firing managers was folly.

Failing at Bristol City is a good and positive platform in preparation for the post at Aberdeen.

Good move for Aberdeen. Hey BBC why can we comment on this minor story but not comment on the fact that Westmonster is taking even more defence spending out of Scotland by not stationing the new planes at Lossiemouth.
Comment number 171. Posted by Kelton 25 Mar 2013 18:37
@169 There's already about 7000 Aberdeen fans who choose to stay well away from Pittodrie, and now you want those who disagree with you to stay away too? Are you only going to be happy when you're the only person left in the stand?
Comment number 170. Posted by Dennistoundonon 25 Mar 2013 18:35
Totally underwhelming appointment worse record than our last 3 managers, and calling for the Rangers to skip leagues means that Levein would have been a better call.
Comment number 169. Posted by David Lyallon 25 Mar 2013 18:26
What a lot of negative comment regarding Derek's employment as a Rangers player and it saddens me a lot to read it. You sad people are NOT Aberdeen fans - you are total poison and should do us all a large favour by staying well away from Pittodrie - for good. I'd like to personally wish him all the very best and every success in his new job and am sure that most true AFC fans will echo my views

One of the heaviest funk records ever to come out of Indy in the 70s – a super-dope batch of ensemble grooving with plenty of odd twists and turns! At one level, the group work in a familiar Earth Wind & Fire-styled vibe – mixing heavy bass, funky rhythms, and lots of great horns – but at another level, the sound is a bit freer, and often hipper – coming across with jazzier influences on many tracks, and an overall style that's got some really righteous undercurrents! A number of tracks here are laidback and spacey – almost cosmic in approach, but a bit more love-oriented in subject matter – served up with some cool watery production that makes the guitar and keyboards really sound great, and some nice use of soprano sax to give the best tunes a nicely sharp edge! Titles include "You Got Action You Got Me", "Lil's Place", "Put A Smile On Time", "Thought My Love Was Free", "Can't Do Without You", and "Everybody's Chippin". Great new CD version – with 20 page book, and the bonus tracks "Laying & Playing", "Be Yourself", and "You Pay For What You Get". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
As a rule, Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Knowing Love Is Real:
Each day I wake.
You always come to mind.
Knowing a day of chores,
stress and hardship leer.
Though you never leave.
For I grab you by the sleeve.
Welcoming your love at ease.
Always going to be.
You and I together.
For our lives are one.
And that is half the deal.
Knowing Love Is Real.

Mother Mary Lange
Elizabeth Clarisse Lange, commonly known as Mother Mary Lange, was the founder of the Oblate Sisters of Providence and is designated a servant of God. Her country of birth is not documented, but oral tradition says Lange was born in Haiti in 1784 and immigrated to Baltimore from Cuba.[1]
Early life[edit]
Her grandfather was Marcdoche Lange, a plantation owner in Saint-Domingue in the western portion of the island of Hispaniola. He was known by the nickname "Israelite",[2] and had accumulated some wealth, some of which he sent with Elizabeth's family when they fled the revolution to take up residence in Santiago de Cuba. There, in a primarily French speaking community, she received an excellent education.
In the early 1800s Elizabeth emigrated to the United States. By 1813, she was in Baltimore, Maryland where a large community of French speaking Catholics from Haiti was established.[3] Already by 1790 Baltimore's free African-American population outnumbered the city's slave population.[4]
In the early 1800s, religious organizations in Baltimore such as Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church's Free African School (1802), Daniel Coker's Bethel Charity School (c. 1812), St. James Protestant Episcopal Day School (1824), and William Lively's Union Seminary (1825) created schools for African American students. While providing a valuable service, they could not meet the demands of Baltimore's growing free African American population.[4] Elizabeth recognized the need for education for the children of her fellow immigrants. In 1818 she opened a school in her home in the Fells Point area of the city for the children. She and her friend, Marie Magdaleine Balas (later Sister Frances, OSP) operated the school for over ten years. [3] Mother Lange's school accepted Catholics and non-Catholics alike.[5]
In Baltimore she met Sulpician priest, Father James Hector Nicholas Joubert. French, and a former soldier, Joubert had also fled the rebellion in Haiti. Elizabeth told Father Joubert that she and Marie Balas were interested in establishing a community of African American Roman Catholic nuns.[4] Joubert persuaded Archbishop James Whitfield to approve the order.[2] The Oblate Sisters of Providence were founded by Mother Mary Lange, OSP, and Rev. James Nicholas Joubert, as the first religious congregation of women of African descent.[3] The Oblate Sisters were established with the primary purpose of the Catholic education of children.[5]
On July 2, 1829, Elizabeth and three other women [Rosanne Boegue, Marie Balas and an older student, Almaide Duchemin] took their vows.[5] Elizabeth took the name of "Sister Mary". The sisters adopted a habit of a black dress and cape, with a white cap, inspired by the simple dress of Mennonite women in western Maryland. She started St. Francis Academy in a rented building with two other sisters and twenty students.[2] While experiencing poverty, racism and untold hardships, the Oblate Sisters sought to evangelize the Black community through Catholic education. In addition to schools, the sisters conducted night classes for women, vocational and career training, and established homes for widows and orphans.[6]
Mother Lange died on February 3, 1882.
This was the beginning of a legacy that has thrived over the past years in 25 cities in the United States, Cuba, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and most recently Africa.
In 2005 three Baltimore parochial schools (St. Dominic School, Shrine of The Little Flower and St. Anthony of Padua) were combined into Mother Mary Lange Catholic School, thus becoming the first school named after her in America. 2008 was the 180th anniversary of her founding of St. Frances Academy.

Where to see contemporary art in Kuala Lumpur
What we say:
Given that window shopping is the most popular cultural activity in Kuala Lumpur, it may come as a surprise to visitors that the city has a thriving contemporary art scene. To be honest, it's probably somewhat of a shock for many residents too. The main problem with seeing contemporary art in Kuala Lumpur is that much of it is so badly publicised. And even when the information is out there, the majority of the city's best art spaces are in hard-to-find locations.
That includes the excellent National Art Gallery, stuck out in Titiwangsa, miles away from the nearest train station. Despite being a pain to get to, the NAG is well worth a visit. The building may look like it's falling to pieces from the outside, but the quality of the artwork on the inside is anything but shoddy.
Several interesting exhibitions are running until mid-June, including Tabik, a tribute to late Malaysian artists. The gallery is open 09:00-17:00 every day, and admission is free. Getting a taxi is probably the easiest option, although RapidKL bus B103 does run from Bukit Bintang to Titiwangsa, via KLCC.
Set in an even more obscure location is MAP @ Publika, a great new space to showcase contemporary art. It particularly merits a visit until June 18, when it is hosting a full viewing of the 104 works in Art Auction Malaysia 2011. The quality and variety of the art coming under the hammer is truly impressive.
The exhibition features works by some of Malaysia's most accomplished artists, including Latiff Mohidin, Ibrahim Hussein, Cheong Soo Pieng, and Abdullah Ariff. It's open every day, 11:00-19:00, and admission is free. A taxi is the only feasible way to get to Publika.
On a much smaller scale, although still interesting in their own right, are two free photographic exhibitions, both sponsored by foreign cultural organisations. The Metaphorical Garden, showing at KL Gallery (at KL Library), is an exploration of what the garden means in the modern city by 14 local photographers. The show, which is sponsored by the Goethe Institut, runs until June 26 (14:00-18:45, Mon; 10:00-18:45, Tues-Fri; 10:00-17:00 Sat and Sun).
Meanwhile, the Alliance Francaise is showcasing Blue Boy Mansion, an exhibition of photos by Raphael Fournier until June 21 (09:00-17:00, Mon and Sat; 09:00-18:30, Tues-Fri.). The French photographer's work focuses on residents of the Blue Boy Mansion in Bukit Bintang, the city's first residential building more than four storeys high.
KL also has an incredible array of private art galleries. Among the best are the Annexe Gallery and the Art House Gallery, in the Central Market Annexe; the Wei-Ling Gallery, in a beautifully converted shophouse in Brickfields; and Purplehouz Fine Arts on Jaling Gasing in Petaling Jaya, a street which has become somewhat of a hub of artistic activity. Clearly these places exist to sell art, but they all welcome casual browsing.

Are you talking about K'heylar who pretty much thinks all things Klingon are stupid? Yeah sorry, but that doesn't fit Worf's dream profile.
Which is why he sexed her up, pined for her, wanted to "take the oath" with her and avenged her death.
I didn't say he didn't care for her, I said she didn't fit his dream Klingon woman profile. There's a difference.

When I weigh in for the week and the number on the scale isn't the one I wanted to see, I don't freak out over it, I don't beat myself up or decide to give up. Instead I take a good long look at myself in the mirror and find five things that I like about my body. Five things that I didn't like BEFORE I started eating and acting healthy and I remind myself that I'm happier than I've been in my life.

When I moved, I had a ton of books that I really didn't need anymore, but still wanted new ones. I found a site- swap.com, where I can list the books I have and the books I want and it sets up a trade between members. All you do is pay for shipping. I like it a lot. I've gotten some things I really wanted, while getting rid of some books I no onger had interest in.

Exercise while talking on the phone
Instead of sitting or standing still while talking on the phone, I try to do a little exercising like marching or running in place. I have a cordless phone so sometimes I walk from one end of the house to the other or walk up and down the stairs. It's amazing how many calories you can burn during a 10 or 15 minute phone call! Also, its helps make the time go faster when you call a business and they put you on hold.

Place a small plate on top of a regular size plate-have fun and try 2 different colors. Makes portions appear larger than they are and every person at the table has the same size plate. Using a salad fork works well. slows eating since less is placed on the salad fork making it seem your eating more food.. Very emotionally satisfying.

Sorry Big "O", hope is not a plan. After not being active for almost a decade, I committed to a basic plan of getting back in shape. Starting from a basic framework, i received additional guidance from professionals and others that helped fill in the details. This includes a referral to the wonderful resources available at SparkPeople. Envision the future you want, start with a basic road map, commit, then engage and press on (and enjoy the journey)!

Suman Hoque, owner and chef at HoQ Restaurant in Des Moines' East Village, has a menu showcasing products from 40 nearby farms. 'When people come in on a weekend, I can tell them my whole menu, what is all in there and where it comes from,' he said.

Growing up in Bangladesh, 8-year-old Suman Hoque and his dad would venture out around 8 o'clock each morning to the local market, loading their baskets with fresh fish, spinach, tomatoes and other groceries the family would eat later that day.

The 17-year-old boy, identified only by his surname Wang, was approached in an online chatroom and paid 22,000 yuan (£2,200) for his kidney to be used in an illegal transplant operation, the Xinhua News Agency said.
The teen now suffers from renal deficiency and his health is deteriorating, according to prosecutors in Chenzhou city, Hunan province.
According to the Xinhua, one of the accused was paid 220,000 yuan (£22,000) to arrange the transplant. He paid the boy 22,000 yuan (£2,200) and shared the remaining profit with the surgeon, the three other defendants and other medical staff.
The Telegraph
The boy's mother discovered that her son had sold his kidney when she enquired about his new iPad and iPhone.
Only a fraction of the Chinese people in need of transplants are able to get them, which leads to "transplant tourism" where patients travel overseas for such operations. China banned the trading of human organs in 2007, Xinhua said.
Black market organ trading is becoming more rampant as the disparity between the number of kidneys available and the number of Chinese needing transplants grows.

Sleep Training Wars
by Amalah
My husband is adamant we should sleep train our 4 month old; I say she's still too young. Who's right?
Infant Bedtime: How Early is Too Early?
by Amalah
My infant son goes to bed at 4 p.m. and sleeps through the night. That isn't as awesome as it sounds.
Out of the Car & Into the Crib
by Amalah
Help! My baby will only nap in a running car or while nursing. How can I help him develop more practical napping habits?

A Gallery of Cats in RefrigeratorsSeptember 8, 2011 at 7:00 am
I totally understand why cats like refrigerators so much. It's been pretty warm recently, and if I had a giant, super-cold room full of food (and I wasn't smart enough to understand that I would inevitably suffocate in that room), I would be hanging out in there all the time. Here's...
A Collection of 3D Building Projection VideosSeptember 8, 2011 at 6:00 am
Move over, statues and ice sculptures. There's a new form of visual art that's sweeping the globe, and this time it's digital. 3D projection mapping is the art of creating a digital image of an actual building, projecting that image onto the building it's portraying, then adding...
The Craziest Video Game Glitch EverSeptember 7, 2011 at 4:00 pm
There are many famous video game glitches in well-known video games. The kill screen at the end of Pac-Man. The flying tank in Grand Theft Auto 3. Some glitches offer gamers a wealth of unexpected fun when encountered, but most of the time a video game glitch will ruin your entire gaming experience....
Funny Yard Sale SignsSeptember 7, 2011 at 2:30 pm
The economy is in the dumps, and times are tough. In these hard times, many people have turned to yard sales as a means of making some extra money, but with all the yard sales popping up everywhere these days, it can be difficult to attract customers to your yard sale.

This Homeless Guy Gets All My MoneySeptember 7, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Homeless guys are awesome. Well, they're either awesome, or schizophrenic homicidal lunatics. Either way, if they have a sign as funny as this crazy homeless guy's sign, they're getting all of my money. Take note, homeless guys reading this at the public library: if your sign is funny, you will get more money!

The Most Informative Norwegian Rap Video EverSeptember 7, 2011 at 8:00 am
Norway is traditionally known for its oil production, hydroelectric power initiatives, and Viking lore, but not so much for it's awesomely hilarious rap videos. Maybe that's why the Norwegian comedic duo Ylvis decided to make this incredibly instructional and highly informative rap video...
Eddie Murphy PhotosSeptember 7, 2011 at 7:01 am
It's official: Eddie Murphy will host next year's Academy Awards. While many people think that Eddie Murphy hosting the Oscars is a bad idea (mainly because the ex-comedian has done nothing besides crappy kids' movies for the past 10 years), others are excited to see if Eddie Murphy...
A Montage of Twin Tower Cameos in MoviesSeptember 7, 2011 at 6:00 am
We're just a few days away from the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, during which every single person in the entire world watched New York City's twin towers topple to the ground in the aftermath of two simultaneous plane hijackings. During their time as the crown jewels of the New York City skyline, the Twin Towers appeared in hundreds of movies and television shows. Just in time for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, filmmaker Dan Meth put together this excellent montage of the Twin Towers' appearances in films. Good luck noticing anything else in a pre-2001 movie that takes place in New York City ever again.

Hottest Girl Ever?September 6, 2011 at 12:26 pm
This might just be the hottest girl ever. Sure, she's probably borrowing her MMA Fighter boyfriend's crotch rocket to go and buy him a new pair of brass knuckles for his birthday, but any girl on a motorcycle with heels, short shorts, and fingerless leather gloves is bound to be awesome.
Epic Frog is EpicSeptember 6, 2011 at 11:11 am
The lesson: adding Kronos Quartet to any slow motion video automatically increases that video's chance of seeming completely epic, especially if that slow motion video happens to be a nature video of a frog narrowly escaping death by being awesome. This video is like National Geographic's version of Cliffhanger. Speaking of epic, check out this epic (and massive) list of the 100 Sexiest Female Singers in the World (hint: you haven't heard of a lot of them). For a complete list of everything in the world that can be considered "epic", check out EgoTV's Facebook Page and follow us on Twitter.

Thumb Wrestling a Praying MantisSeptember 6, 2011 at 6:00 am
