Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Mitsubishi Mirage than in the Kia Forte Koup, due to the Mitsubishi Mirage's smaller rear head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mitsubishi Mirage and the Kia Forte Koup in the front seats.
The Kia Forte Koup requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Mitsubishi Mirage, making it more convenient to drive.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Mitsubishi Mirage is clearly a better financial choice over the Kia Forte Koup. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mitsubishi Mirage and the Kia Forte Koup have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Mitsubishi Mirage is much slimmer than the Kia Forte Koup, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Mitsubishi Mirage, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia Forte Koup.
The Mitsubishi Mirage has much less torque than the Kia Forte Koup, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Mitsubishi Mirage has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Kia Forte Koup, allowing much better maneuverability in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Mitsubishi Mirage is significantly less powerful than the Kia Forte Koup. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mitsubishi Mirage and the Kia Forte Koup. With its significantly greater cargo capacity, the Mitsubishi Mirage will be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Forte Koup.
The Mitsubishi Mirage comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Kia Forte Koup.

Diet Root Beer Float Recipe

At least someone was productive while the Super Bowl experienced a power outage Sunday night.
Jenny McCarthy Tweeted an early Monday morning photo of a fresh tattoo that now covers the top of her right foot.
"Got a new tattoo during half time black out. So excited 2 b wearing heels on The Today Show this morning. Ouch," McCarthy, 40, posted with a photo, noting it was still painful. The tattoo features a rose with leaves and intricate vines.
McCarthy, a veteran Playboy centerfold and comedian, hosted a Super Bowl kickoff party, Leather & Laces, on Friday in New Orleans. But it was back to business this week as she continues to make press rounds, promoting her return to TV on the new The Jenny McCarthy Show, which premieres Friday on VH1.
Apparently her foot wasn't the only thing hurting as McCarthy headed over for an appearance with Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb Monday morning. She Tweeted: "Cramps on press tour. Doing Kathy lee and Hoda next. Hoping they have a heating pad and Whisky. Wait... Of course they will have Whisky."

Today there is still hardly any wind, so I haven't had a chance to really test out the gyro. I decided to take it out anyway and see what HH would do. When testing it on the ground, I could see there was more aileron movement than there was in rate mode, but at least they moved in the right direction.
I took it up nice and high and hit the switch. It started shaking violently (not like the little shakes I got yesterday in rate mode) so I switched it back and was happy to find I was still in control of the plane. All good - nice landing. I guess the gain is too high, but I haven't tried turning it down and doing another flight yet.
I've been following the recent posts about things like Co-pilot and Alien Command that use different methods to keep the wings level. The existence of these things makes me suspect that gyros are not ideal for that purpose, and people are looking for something more effective. If my goal is to take nice videos with a level horizon, is a HH gyro really going to do that?
I think I'm just going to forget about HH for now and see if I can get my DX6i to give me 2 different settings of rate mode (one about 25% and the other one so low as to be essentially off). Haven't found the magic button yet....

Hand Launching
I'm still reading away...and am up to page 48. There is lots of good stuff here and I finally came across some info about my DX6i that helped. This radio doesn't have any 3-position switches, so choices are limited. I still haven't had a chance to fly in any wind that is more than a slight breeze. I am only using rate mode.
Is it normal for aileron gyros to be a little weird on hand-launches? It is a little unnerving as it goes through a little routine before settling down to steady flight. Is it just because there isn't enough speed over the ailerons to have an effect but it is trying anyway? Normally I am very comfortable with hand-launching this Mustang, can do it with either hand, and never have to use full throttle.
Most radios will need the Tx aux ch set to Gyro and corresponding plug in Rx.
The gyrop should have instructions clearly about this.
Not really ideal for a fixed wing .... but fine for a FP 4ch Heli.
I checked my G105 and no mention of use without sense wire plugged in. But the G105 is a bit more adjustable than the GY192 ...

I finally got some good gusty wind to try it out and it was impressive. When flying in calm air the last couple of days, I reduced the gain from 30 to 25 to get rid of the shakes. Today in the gusty wind it shook again and I reduced it to 20 and then it was ok. I can imagine that any play in the linkages would cause problems. What about the servos themselves? Do digital servos work better than analog when using gyros?
Digital are usually advised to give a crisper and quicker response to gyro command. But are not essential .. in fact for most sport flying are not necessary. Many will fly quite comfortably with analogue, moving up to digital as flying changes style.
Here we have a fixed wing that the gyro is not being asked ideally to "fly the tail" like a heli - but to damp down unwanted effects of torque, wind etc, On a fixed wing as you are not wanting to hover, you want to have gyro in background but with you in command. It assists you to stabilise the model. therefore suggest that a compromise is called for .. (actually Helis we have that as well - we can have different levels of gyro given different conditions but most will adjust to an average setting that works and then use the right stick anyway).
So find your average best setting and that will cover most of your needs ... if you have a variable knob on Tx as I have ... you can in fact dial as needed while flying but with some of the speeds - that is not so easy !
You can also use the "Idle-up" way to give you two levels of gyro sensitivity ... flick one way its low, flick it other and its higher ... so you can have two settings to cover most conditions.
Digital is best but analogue works ...
Parkflyrc has a few more of the Esky 704 (not A or B) gyros left but they aren't listed on their web site. Email Rom at email@example.com and he can hook you up. Forgot to say it is rate only - no HH mode.

Thank you guys for all the great info. I have one more item to add to the list of things that can create slop in the system and cause problems with gyros. Like most people, I'm starting out with my oldest and most beat-up plane. The wings don't attach to the fuselage as solidly as they used to and there is noticeable play in there. It has never caused a problem up until now, but you can easily imagine what would happen when you put a gyro on the ailerons.
All things considered, it is amazing that it works as well as it does. The little "shaking sessions" I mentioned were short in duration. It would just do it for a second or two and then stop. I don't understand why it would stop and not just keep oscillating.
I bet I'm not the only person out there with wings that are a little loose. I am going to try moving the gyro out of the fuselage and attaching it to the wing itself. I'm betting that will allow me to crank the gain back up to 25 or 30.
If I had loose wing - i would sort that out as it can only get worse. Typical on foamies is that wing bolts crush the foam or the plate works loose. So a brace of thin plastic or ply works wonders.
I also found a use for old prop hubs that have the nut moulded hole ... I trim it back to a clean hub ... epoxy into a hole and I have a perfect trapped nut for wing bolts, canopys etc.

I flew today in 8-10 mph winds. Made passes with gyro on and off, The higher winds made the wings flutter just a bit.
I still have quite a bit of drift to the right. So much so that trimming left does not correct the problem. Did I miss something?

Last month we fought our way to Games Workshop's headquarters in Nottingham for an in-depth look at Relic's hotly-anticipated PC strategy Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. While we were there we caught up with associate producer Jeff Lydell about RTS design, piracy and the supposed death of PC gaming.
VideoGamer.com: Apologies to start out on a negative note, but what do you think about the current state of PC gaming? There's a lot of chatter online about how it could die quite soon...
Jeff Lydell: My take on that as someone who's been reading internet chatter for a number of years now is that PC gaming has been 'dead' since 1994 and that it continues to 'die' every year. But that's obviously not true, because there are people playing PC games. It's just that we're seeing changes in the types of PC games they're playing. A lot of the things that the PC had that were exclusive to it, like online experiences, are starting to come over to consoles - so it's less a hold-out for that kind of social interaction. There's Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network - even the Wii has online components. So back in the day when Quake was defining how gamers interacted with each other online, PC gaming was 'dying' then! And I'd consider that to be the golden days. The N64 didn't kill it, the PlayStation 2 didn't kill it, and I don't think any of the upcoming consoles will kill it.
VideoGamer.com: Do you think it'll ever die?
JL: No. It'll die the day we stop having PCs! Right now, we all want to have PCs. We're seeing some changes where people are adopting laptops more. Maybe in the future when we're using integrated devices that aren't quite PCs, we'll see games on those instead. But PC gaming isn't dying.
VideoGamer.com: Piracy has been around for decades, but do you think that the issue is potentially more damaging to the PC games industry right now than it's ever been? The competition for sales is very stiff...
JL: It's certainly a threat to triple A gaming. It makes developers and publishers reluctant to invest large amounts of money in a just-PC product, unless there's some form of guarantee. Sometimes they hedge their bets with cross-platform developments, sometimes it's persistent online stuff that you need to subscribe to. But piracy is not going away. As an industry, piracy is something we have to work around, not something to try and eliminate - because that's a losing fight.
VideoGamer.com: What kind of copy-protection will Dawn of War II have? Anti-piracy measures can sometimes generate bad vibes with gamers - like when Spore got blasted for its initial install limitations.
JL: We are looking at some form of DRM for Dawn of War II, but we're heavily concerned with the consumer end of that, and the consumer experience. We want people to be able to play their games on multiple PCs. We want them to be able to play it with their friends, and most importantly we want any authentication to not be annoying or a detriment to the experience.
VideoGamer.com: So will there be any form of install limits?
JL: Not that I'm aware of, at this point. Just to speak a little further on that... the thing we are trying to do is to give incentives to be online. One of the things the high profile games have had in the past is that they've been primarily single-player games, with no reason to be online. When you have a multiplayer component or content that can be distributed through online there's an incentive to be a licensed user.
VideoGamer.com: So you reward people for being good instead of punishing them for being bad?
JL: That's right... Attract more flies with honey, that sort of thing!
VideoGamer.com: Confirmed released date?
JL: It's February at this point. I don't know if that's confirmed or not, but yeah we're looking for February 2009.
VideoGamer.com: Is there going to be a beta?
JL: Yeah. The exact date is not clear, but it's going to be some time in the New Year.
VideoGamer.com: You can't say January, or...?
JL: We'd like it to be in January, but we can't make a promise exactly when because of some considerations we have about getting it out.

In this issue the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals presents the thirty-fifth annual review of medical licensure. In the licensing examination of the graduates of sixty-seven medical schools in the United States and nine in Canada, 6,906 candidates were examined with 10.1 per cent failures. From the schools in the United States there were 5,705 examinees with 4.3 per cent failures. The New York Medical College and Flower Hospital, Georgetown University School of Medicine and Tufts College Medical School had among their graduates the unenviable record of 22.5 per cent, 21.8 per cent and 21 per cent, respectively, of failures.
The increment of the medical profession consisting of physicians licensed for the first time was 6,166, which is greater by 659 than the number so licensed in 1935. From table 6, showing the distribution of these physicians by sections, it is evident that practically half of the total were

Omaha, Neb. grateful for Peyton Manning
DENVER — Fans watching Sunday's Broncos game may have thought Peyton Manning was endorsing Nebraska's largest city after shouting the word "Omaha" more than forty times.
The clip, which has gone viral online, is throwing Omaha into the national and social media spotlight.
"We've been thinking about how we can get the word out to Peyton Manning to say thanks and see what we can send him," said the President of Omaha's Chamber of Commerce on Monday.
The organization is pouncing on the opportunity by pairing Manning's words with a reminder to everyone that Omaha is open for business and visitors.
Companies including Omaha Steaks also took to social media on Monday to thank Manning for bringing the Omaha name to the forefront.
The Chamber of Commerce of Omaha is expected to publish a reply video to Manning on Thursday. It's not clear if Manning will reuse the word "Omaha" during Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.

Work Hard, Play Hard, or Work Harder?March 26, 2014 // 0 Comments
William Price
CCBC Essex
Most people seem to dread a long hard winter, being stuck in a time where we begin to dwell on the idea of winter never leaving, and never seeing those warmer beautiful days here in Maryland. It seems as this year just won't give in and allow the sunny days to be upon us. Being a student the burden seems to become more surreal, as work is progressively getting harder throughout the remaining portion of the semester.
Regardless of how it is spent, it becomes evident more and more at this time of year that spring break couldn't come at a more perfect time.
Whether just simply relaxing and doing nothing or going out and making money by taking on longer hours, the time is well needed.
According to www.dosomething.org an average of 1.5 million students spend spring break in various destinations spending more than a billion dollars. Although, some college students find it more satisfying to give back, potentially restraining themselves from anything that could commonly go wrong on a spring break trip. It is said 10,000 plus students engage in volunteer work with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.
Abbas Elzein, a CCBC Essex Student explained, "I plan on going to Cancun for Spring break, I would rather go on vacation because I have plenty of time in life to make money and relax." Abbas will be one of the 100,000 plus students down in the popular destination of Cancun, Mexico.
Although you may think Cancun or areas in the region would be ranked as the number one spring break place to travel, you were wrong. Daytona Beach, Florida remains the number one destination for not only students, but people of all ages alike.
With work constantly being pilled up, and deadlines being conveniently placed on the first couple days back from the break, some students find it more satisfying and are content with the idea of relaxing at home, and maybe doing a little schoolwork here and there. Taking the time to mentally recover from the stressful first couple weeks of the semester.
Over this spring break I don't plan on going anywhere fancy like the tropics or jungles. I'm going to stay home and relax and have some mental wellness days," sophomore Connor Covell said. "Over spring break I would rather have a perfect combination of relaxation and work. I say that because if I'm not financially secure I wont be truly relaxed. I'm just going to hang with some friends, work some, catch on much needed sleep." Not only does school work seem to be in the picture, but also the opportunity to make a little bit of money.
As most of us students are of the age where we begin to see and understand the reality of how our lives are about to drastically change. This is the time in life where we have to make a living for ourselves and take on new responsibilities. All of this becomes more apparent when deciding what to do for a week long break.
Parker Greene, a sophomore at CCBC Essex explained how he still remains on the fence on what he should be doing during his spring break. With obligations to save money and split rent with his roommates, Parker began to further endorse the fact he isn't just about working, making money, and performing well in school.
The simple reminder that we do actually have to grow up at some point becomes a harsh reality. "I feel obligated to go out and do something because I'm not going to be twenty my whole damn life, Honestly I've been considering a trip to a couple colleges and in up in Canada for the hockey playoffs in Montréal because I have two weeks but it does all come down to money…"
Being a student, the challenges can be similar to an adult with a full-time job. Given the workload, Spring break becomes a dire necessity. Whether it is an opportunity to make money, study, or take a little vacation, the time spent cannot be taken for granted.

The AfroSolo Arts Festival 20 and the African American Center of the San Francisco Public Library will present a visual arts exhibit entitled "Reflecting the Light: Works Inspired by Ancestral Art Masters." The show will pay homage to many of the Black American art masters; some who are frequently mentioned in the narratives of art and history, and some whose names rarely surface in those narratives.
Artist will exhibit works that are influenced by a "visual dialogue" with a particular work or series of works by artists such as the more known Romare Bearden and Elizabeth Catlett, as well as the lesser known but highly innovative and influential work of artist Noah Purifoy.
Curated by Michael Ross. Featured artist will include Candi Farlice, Ron Saunders, April Martin Chartrand and William Rhodes, among others.
Meet the Artists: Sunday, September 15, 1:30 PM, Latino/Hispanic Meeting Room, Lower Level, Main Library.

The Family Readiness Officer, together with the volunteer network, serves as the official communication link with families while at home, on a training exercise, or deployed.
The Battalion recognizes the sacrifices required of Marine, Navy, and Army families. In an effort to support and enhance the family life associated with service to our country and to the Marine Corps, Family Readiness Program is a priority. Fortunately, our Family Readiness Program has the support of a caring, efficient, and effective Family Readiness Officer, advisors, assistants and a support volunteer network.

We will ensure that Marines, Sailors and their families will have availability and access to quality facilities and support programs, as well as resources and benefits that provide a quality standard of living.
This same effort will be applied to our single Marines."

For Immediate Release
March 25, 2011
Contact: Laura Brown
Phone: (202) 267-3455
Effective immediately, we are instituting an interim plan to ensure we do not repeat another situation like the one at Reagan National Airport Wednesday morning. While we review overnight staffing at selected airports around the country, I have directed all radar controllers to contact air traffic control towers at those airports to confirm that there is a controller prepared to handle the incoming flight. In addition, I have reminded all air traffic controllers that proper procedures dictate that they must offer pilots the option to divert to another airport if they do not make contact with the control tower. Finally, I have ordered a nationwide review of the air traffic control system to confirm the appropriate backup procedures and equipment are in place and in use. I am determined to make sure we do not repeat Wednesday's unacceptable event.

Charlene's career left no time for exotic playboys. Then she found herself under Drey's roof, in need of his protection - and a victim of his seductive charms. But when the late senator's secrets - and Drey's true identity - were uncovered, would Drey face the betrayals in his past, and his future as a Braddock, with Charlene by his side?

"Need More Brenda Jackson Books on Audible"
I totally enjoyed this book. I was hesitant at first because I prefer to read the actual book instead of listening to audio. Actually I find it boring. However the narrator did a good job with it and she had me hooked. I am still going to buy the hard copy, as I am collector of Brenda's books. I look forward to hearing more books from Brenda Jackson on Audible (especially something from Westmoreland, Steele, Madaris family).
Charmaine (Jamone's wife)
"Finally - Brenda Jackson on Audible!"
I have been waiting years for harlequin to release some of Brenda Jackson's books on audible. This particular title is part of a series but stands on it's on. The romance is dead on and the suspense is just as awesome. You can't go wrong with this book - enjoy!
In love & married for 23 years. Escaping with my audible reads makes my days happy. So glad my hubby found audible for me.
"Voice didn't match the book"
The book was great, however the reader...why can't we get an african american reader for african american books? Looking at the cover then hearing the voice was a complete disappointment for me. I finished the book but the reader completely through off the vibe of the book. I have no idea what the reviewer referring to that the voice was ethnic. NOT!
"Loved it!"
Loved it. Couldn't wait to listen to it every night. Was sad when it ended.
"Not great, but enjoyable"
For a short story, it met my expectations. There were scenes that I hadn't experienced from a romance before that were pretty intimate & racy. The narrator's accent was a little thick and the plot was pretty predictable but I enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters.
book diva
"it was pretty good"
sure its a good listen
i am not sure
no i would not her voice rubbed me the wrong way
"Story was a rehash..."
This story was a rehash of several I have read in the past not new of original. Don't spend you money. The narrator did a great job and I would like to hear from her again.
Love reading! Always have, glad my friend turn me on to audible. Love romance and mystery books
"narrator was not good"
This was not one of my favorite Brenda Jackson books
They should have used someone else to read, took me a while to get into it.
"Great Book, Very Erotic"
I have not read the printed version, but I loved the audible one because the voice change made the scene changes believable.
The erotic scenes and the way they were described.
No, but I enjoyed the voice.
Likes to read and now to listen to many different area of books. Interested in more books. Open to suggestions.
"Pamela B."
I liked that Drey was torn between doing his job and protecting his mother. He also had a inner fear that the new family would not except him but being the manly man he was he could not face that but Charlene saw through the brave front.
I've always liked mystery and suspense. I tried to figure it out before it was revealed. I was right. I would love to go digging around and try to uncover evidict to solve a crime.
Yes, she was pretty good.
When Drey discovered that Charlene is a virgin he continued to make her first time special. And kept his word to please her throughout the night.

Dennis Stroughmatt and Creole Stomp
Friday, October 16, 8PM
Arts Center Auditorium
Thirteen years on the road has honed Creole Stomp into a well oiled machine: hard driving, fast, and smooth. Creole Stomp shows have become legendary and those who have seen them know the emotion and passion that literally jumps from the band. In fact, over the years the band has become informally known as "The Grateful Dead of Creole Music." A favorite on the Cajun-Zydeco dance circuit, the band has also become a celebrated fixture at venues around the United States ranging from park concerts and theaters to folk and blues festivals. Creole Stomp is filled with over achieving Phd's and Master's Degrees, incidentally making it one of the most educated bands in traditional music. But no worries, Creole Stomp is a band that knows how to throw a Louisiana party.
Superior - a Film by Edd Benda
Tuesday, October 6, 7:00 & 9:00PM
Arts Center Auditorium
Tickets: $7 general admission, $5 seniors, $5 for those 17 and under
Michigan native Edd Benda is bringing his debut independent feature film "Superior" to nine cities in his home state, starting in Sault Ste. Marie
The movie from Beyond the Porch Productions was filmed entirely in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and premiered on June 5 at the world famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif., as part of the Dances With Films festival. Director, writer, and producer Edd Benda will be in attendance at every screening, and he will host an open discussion after each showing.
Inspired by a true story, "Superior" takes place in the summer of 1969, where Derek Suntila is weeks away from the Vietnam War and Charlie Eskola is weeks away from his first days at Michigan Technological University. Before the two best friends go their separate ways, they leave their small hometown in the U.P. on one final adventure: a two-week, 1,300 mile bike ride around Lake Superior.
Superior was filmed on location in Michigan's U.P. in 2014. The production team behind the film consists of 11 young filmmakers who traveled more than 7,000 miles round-trip in a truck and three sedans from Los Angeles to the most remote regions of the Keweenaw Peninsula to tell a story true to its origins. The movie is a snapshot of America in a time when futures were uncertain, and yet the most outlandish adventures remained possible.

Love to sew....
I also find a lot of leggings are made for teens that don't even cover the curve of your butt in the back. None of the stretch fabric here carries content, so I just check to see if the fabric has enough lycra for good recovery, cuz I don't like sagging knees.

We did, however, pass our Level 1 Language Assessment this week. The assessment included the invitation of a local Albanian into our home, showing hospitality, and having a short conversation with one another. This was then followed with instructions to take a taxi or bus into town and meet our language coach at an unknown restaurant. We then had to ask for a menu, order food, and pay. Next, we went to a local market to ask for the price of certain food items, then purchase these items to bring home. All of this was spoken in Albanian of course and our language coach made his observations. The good news is that we both passed and we now move on to Level 2 Language Acquisition.
Level 1 primarily involved survival language learning (i.e. introductions, greetings, basic common words, numbers, days of the week, how to ask the time, how to get around town, and make purchases). Level 2 will involve lemuch more complex language skills (i.e. grammar, conjugating verbs, sentence structure, etc.) We look forward to moving on to the next level in our language development as we continue to equip ourselves to one day share and show the the love of Christ to many.
On another note, we move into our home in just a few weeks. Preparations are already underway. The landlord has repainted the exterior of the house with blue paint. We now call our home the Smurf House. And, roof repair has been completed. We will likely begin painting the interior soon and some of the flooring will be replaced. There is also a host of other smaller items still needing to be repaired. If all goes accordingly we will move into our home the first week of June. We would by lying if we didn't tell you we can't wait. Although we have been very appreciative and thankful for the apartment we now live in, it is small for a family of five (800 sq ft) and we can't wait to move into a bigger home where we can stretch out a bit and Greg can wrestle with the kids on the floor.
On a closing note, please continue to pray for our language studies and acquisition. Please pray we continue to meet new people and build relationships. And, please pray for our health, family unity, and spiritual vitality.

Writers in Association, Residence and other such locations
Fiona McCann
Playwright Phillip McMahon has been named as The Abbey Theatre's 2009 Writer-in-Association. Which means a bursary for McMahon, the founder of thisispopbaby and writer of Danny and Chantelle (still here) and All Over Town, as well as finding his name in the same sentence as those of former Writers-in-Association Sebastian Barry, Marina Carr, Hilary Fannin, Mark O'Rowe and Enda Walsh. Good news at last from sponsors Anglo Irish Bank and possible proof that they're not all bad. Any thoughts on the national theatre's choice for the award?

Two of the thefts happened in West Manchester Township at the Lincolnway and the Green Valley swimming pools.
The third break-in happened at the Pine Ridge Swim Club in Springettsbury Township.
Police think the burglaries are connected. Last month, several pool clubs in Lancaster County also reported break-ins.

From the Official www.TomCruise.com Blog:
Time for another guest blogger for the Official TomCruise.com Blog! Thanks to everyone that has sent in blog submission. Our latest comes from Maura Lynch, who explains how Cruise draws upon his character's desire to change, particularly in the movie The Last Samurai. Thanks Maura for your awesome work!
Tom Cruise's role as Captain Algren in The Last Samurai is yet another example of how Cruise the actor manages to draw upon the theme of an individual's redemption through change. These changes are usually wrought from the suffering of his character, and the suffering of those for whom his character cares.
Cruise's Algren, once a hero in the great American tragedy of the U.S. Civil War, is haunted by the massacre of Native Americans, in which he was forced to participate in the 1870s. He drinks to forget these horrific events, and has lost his honor as a solider. Algren truly doesn't care whether he lives or dies. By accepting the invitation of the Japanese government to hunt down and kill the Japanese equivalent of the Native American warriors, the Samurai, Algren figures he'll do what he does best–kill–and earn enough money "to crawl into a bottle forever." What Algren doesn't count on is his admiration for the Japanese, and, after his capture by the Samurai Katsumoto, his immersion in a culture and a lifestyle which leads him back to his own humanity.
He begins to appreciate the beauty of life, and his heart is reborn. He rediscovers that a warrior is only as good as the cause for which he is fighting. Algren takes on the fight of the Samurai, for their way of life, and for honor. Joining Lord Katusmoto in the last great Samurai battle comes at a tremendous price and loss of life. While The Last Samurai certainly captures the larger historical perspective of this battle, the story is told through Algren's perspective. Algren has learned that without love, friendship and compassion, without an appreciation for every act and breath taken, without honor, life is empty. Algren has reclaimed his reason for living.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Energy-rich states whose economies suffered during the oil bust of the mid-1980s are riding high again thanks to a sharp rise in natural gas prices.
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming and Louisiana are enjoying a windfall in tax revenue.
The money represents an opportunity to spend more on various programs or avoid the kind of cutbacks other states are facing.
"Without this energy enhancement, we would in all likelihood be doing what about have 24 other states are doing, which is cutting budgets or depleting their reserve funds," said Oklahoma state Sen. Cal Hobson.
But painfully aware that a boom can turn quickly into a bust, some legislators are counseling restraint. Texas and Wyoming, in fact, are locking away much of the money.
The average well price of natural gas nearly quadrupled across the country last year, going from $2.12 per thousand cubic feet in January 2000 to $8.06 a year later, according to the Energy Department. The price now stands at about $5.15. By comparison, the average price for U.S. crude oil has changed little over the last year and a half.
The increase in natural gas prices has brought hefty tax revenue to states that have nursed their oil and gas industries through years of hard times and low prices.
Oklahoma's natural gas revenue projections rose from $198.1 million early last year to $506.7 million this year, giving legislators extra money to spend on priorities such as education, prisons and tax cuts.
In Wyoming, a budget surplus of $168 million from June 2000 is now projected at $695 million, mostly because of higher natural gas prices.
New Mexico - second only to Texas in natural gas production - is projecting its highest revenue ever from crude oil and natural gas production, up 80 percent in the current fiscal year.
In Louisiana, revenue from natural gas is up 15 percent this fiscal year and is expected to add about $1 billion to the state budget.
Texas puts three-quarters of any gas and oil revenue over 1987 levels into a rainy day fund that can be tapped only by a three-fifths vote in both houses of the Legislature to correct certain budget shortages.
Wyoming will also be locking away much of its surplus, though it does plan to spend about $75 million to improve its water infrastructure.
Wyoming state Rep. Michael Baker, co-chairman of the Joint Appropriations Committee, said it is not easy being the gatekeeper when there is a lot of money available.
"When they know that big buck is in the pocket, by golly, it's harder to hold the brakes down," he said. "They kind of gang up on you and run you over."
In Oklahoma, Hobson said legislators learned their lesson about spending oil and gas money in the 1980s when the boom went bust and lawmakers had to raise taxes four times to fulfill commitments to roads, education and other services.
"Often you're hearing in the rotunda here, 'Let's go build this and build that,"' Hobson said. "That's all good, but my advice is: Let's see where these prices are going."

Oh, by the way, Happy New Year! Before I get into all the stuff that makes me a probable certified weirdo, I want to sidestep for a moment and reflect on 2013. This past week especially, I've been reminiscing about all the amazing opportunities the year had brought me, bloggy blog wise. All the fabulous new friends I've met, both in person and on social media, all the doors it has opened for me, but more importantly, all the ways my heavenly Father continues to bless me in the things I love doing most. The path He constantly paves for me to walk to where He needs me to be is so humbling. I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand time more. I am nothing without Him. Na.da.
Okay. Hmmm. Eight. random. things.
So here's eight random things about me. If you want to read more, click on that nifty 'About Me' button at the top and I'm sure you'll get the low down on how I work. In the meantime….drumroll please.
My parents didn't have much when I was growing up, so learning to appreciate a good bargain and coupons was imperative. When I was 21, I wanted to see how far $12 would go, so I took a friend out and we managed dinner, mini golf, and a movie. We even scored free dessert because the waitress said I was, 'charming', although I did a really cool magic trick for them. I think that's what did it. Now that I'm an, ahem, adult, these values haven't lessened. I'm a huge bargain shopper. Coupons. Price matching. I'm not above it. However, there's a BIG difference between being cheap and scoring a bargain. I'm currently teaching this to my children.
I am terrified of inflated latex balloons, especially the transparent ones. This stems from my childhood and awful cousins that used to pop them in my face to get a reaction from me. Jerks.
I have two tattoos.
Shellfish is my kryptonite. I am actually anaphylactic. I've been hospitalized three times in my life due to accidental ingestion and cross-contamination.
I absolutely hate the smell of burnt toast. It turns my stomach something awful.
I used to play the violin, but gave it up because I found it boring. I really wish I kept going with it and get so angry with myself when I think about it. I think it's the most beautiful instrument in the world.
One other random fact:
I could eat the entire pot of this rice pudding. In about 30 seconds flat.
I wish you all the very best for 2014. Truly.
1 cup Arborio rice
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste (just add a half teaspoon more if using extract)
In a saucepan, bring water, salt, and butter to a simmering boil over medium-low heat. Add rice, reduce heat, and allow to absorb as much water as possible, stirring occasionally to avoid rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
In a mixing bowl (or saucepan if all your mixing bowls are being used for other creations) whisk together eggnog, sugar, vanilla, and cardamom. Pour over rice and allow to simmer over a medium-low heat. Cook until rice begins to thicken and absorbs much of the eggnog mixture - about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. The last 5 minutes or so of cooking, add in the rum, if using.
Once rice has yielded proper consistency (rice will be chewy, or al dente, not mushy) transfer to a bowl and allow rice pudding to come to room temperature. Place the bowl in fridge and allow to chill.
Once dished up, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. (I used a mixture of cardamom, cinnamon. and nutmeg. Amazing.)
