The Santa road trip
... on the mind.
We weren't confident (the hide was meant to be difficult) but with some cache nous the extra bolt in a fence wasn't too hard to spot even under the light of a mobile phone torch.
One more - very unusual in that it was hidden in a rock on the footpath that looked like a building site - and home where we settled in to some computing, including looking for places to stay in Las Vegas.
Planning trips is easy, it is the detail that's the ...
The Big Sur!
... heading to our final spot of Santa Barbara. On our way down we came across Piedras Blancas Beach. Just south of here, the beaches are famous for being home to hundreds of elephant seals. We hoped to see some, but as we were out of season I wasn't holding out much hope. We then turned the corner and then we started spitting then! Fortunately, this is a fairly popular spot and so as we turned the next corner There was a car park ready for us to park up and take some piccies! ...
Day 53: Chicken, Wine, and Hamburgers
... north the 101. While we were walking there, we met a couple of people who were in town from Dallas, and naturally I attached hoping they were Cowboys fans! The girl, who said she was 21, was equally if not more drunk than I was, and I could not keep up with all her business. It just proved that I am too old for those damn kids! Luckily, the walk was short, and we ended up purposefully pointing them in the ...
Carmel to Santa Barbara
We woke to a beautiful morning and set off to drive the Big Sur. Today was all about whales, seals and cyclists. About 8 miles from Carmel we saw a school of about 8 humpbacked whales. What a sight! There was more whale watching later on. We passed a Naval Facility at Point Sur. The coastline was very rugged and beautiful. Some flies around today which was a bit of a nuisance. .We could not stop at every viewpoint,there were so many. We have seen ...
USA Road Trip - A Day in Santa Barbara
... returned to the port, found our car and drove to San Luis Obispo, a two hour drive away. The journey was a breeze for Nathan compared to LA, driving a 100 miles straight down the 101 freeway. The radio was turned up, good tunes were blaring. It was all good in the hood! We checked in at the Sun Beam Motel greeted by a friendly host. After being given the key we were shown a lovely room. Its nice to have our own bathroom ...

sfPropel15Plugin - 0.9.0Replaces symfony's core Propel plugin by the latest version of Propel, in branch 1.5. |
Replaces symfony's core Propel plugin by the latest version of Propel, in branch 1.5.
Install the plugin via the subversion repository:
$ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPropel15Plugin/trunk plugins/sfPropel15Plugin
from the project root directory or by using the command:
$ ./symfony plugin:install sfPropel15Plugin
Right after the installation of the plugin, you should update plugin assets:
$ ./symfony plugin:publish-assets
Disable the core Propel plugin and enable the sfPropel15Plugin
class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration { public function setup() { $this->enablePlugins('sfPropel15Plugin'); } }
Change the path of the symfony behaviors in the config/propel.ini
file of your project:
propel.behavior.symfony.class = plugins.sfPropel15Plugin.lib.behavior.SfPropelBehaviorSymfony propel.behavior.symfony_i18n.class = plugins.sfPropel15Plugin.lib.behavior.SfPropelBehaviorI18n propel.behavior.symfony_i18n_translation.class = plugins.sfPropel15Plugin.lib.behavior.SfPropelBehaviorI18nTranslation propel.behavior.symfony_behaviors.class = plugins.sfPropel15Plugin.lib.behavior.SfPropelBehaviorSymfonyBehaviors propel.behavior.symfony_timestampable.class = plugins.sfPropel15Plugin.lib.behavior.SfPropelBehaviorTimestampable
Propel 1.5 is a backwards compatible evolution of Propel 1.4 (the version bundled with symfony 1.3 and 1.4), which adds some very interesting features. Among these features, you will find the new Propel Query API, which is essentially a Criteria on steroids. Check out the WHATS_NEW page in the Propel trac to see the full list of changes.
$books = PropelQuery::from('Book b') ->join('b.Author a') ->where('a.FirstName = ?', 'Leo') ->limit(10) ->find($con);
The plugin comes bundled with a new admin generator theme named 'admin15'. This theme provides additional features based on the new Propel 1.5 query objects, and is backwards compatible with sfPropelPlugin's admin generator theme.
To enable this theme, edit your generator.yml
and change the theme
property from admin
to admin15
, as follows:
generator: class: sfPropelGenerator param: model_class: Book theme: admin15 non_verbose_templates: true with_show: false singular: Book plural: Books route_prefix: book with_propel_route: 1 actions_base_class: sfActions
You can now use the additional features listed below.
The admin15
theme doesn't use the Peer classes anymore, therefore settings referencing the Peer classes are ignored in this theme. This includes peer_method
, and peer_count_method
. The new theme provides a simple alternative for these settings, called with
. Add each of the objects to hydrate together with the main object in the with
setting list:
list: display: [title, Author] with: [Author]
The admin generator will then execute the following query to display the list, effectively executing a single query instead of 1+n queries:
$books = BookQuery::create() ->joinWithAuthor() ->paginate();
Of course, you can add as many with
names as you want, to hydrate multiple objects:
list: display: [title, Author, Publisher] with: [Author, Publisher]
Tip: Before adding relations to the with
setting, check that you don't already have a filter on the foreign key column that already makes the query to list all the related objects. If it's the case, then Propel's Instance Pooling will make the with
superfluous, as each call to a related object will not trigger an additional query anyway.
You can execute additional query methods in the list by setting the query_methods
parameter. For instance, in a list of Books
, to limit the list of published books, setup your list
view as follows:
list: display: [title] query_methods: [filterByAlreadyPublished]
The admin generator will then execute the following query to display the list:
$books = BookQuery::create() ->filterByAlreadyPublished() ->paginate();
You must implement each query_method
in the main object's query class. In this exemple, here is how you can implement Bookquery::filterByAlreadyPublished()
class BookQuery extends BaseBookQuery { public function filterByAlreadyPublished() { return $this->filterByPublishedAt(array('min' => time())); } }
You can use this feature to add calculated columns to the list without additional queries:
list: display: [title] query_methods: [withNbReviews]
For this to work, add the following method to the query class:
class BookQuery extends BaseBookQuery { public function withNbReviews() { return $this ->leftJoin('Book.Review') ->withColumn('COUNT(Review.Id)', 'NbReviews'); } }
Now you can add a partial column and use the virtual NbReviews
column in the list:
<?php echo $book->getVirtualColumn('NbReviews') ?>
The new theme provides an easy way to make virtual columns sortable in the list view. Just declare the corresponding fields with is_sortable
to true
, and the generated module will look for an orderByXXX()
method in the generated query. For instance, to allow a book list to be sortable on the author name:
# in generator.yml list: display: [title, Author] query_methods: [joinWithAuthor] fields: - Author: { is_sortable: true }
Then the generator will try to execute BookQuery::orderByAuthor()
whenever the user clicks on the Author
header to sort on this column. The method must be implemented as follows:
class BookQuery extends BaseBookQuery { public function orderByAuthor($order = Criteria::ASC) { return $this ->joinAuthor() ->orderBy('Author.LastName', $order); } }
You can override the default sorting method name for a field by setting the sort_method
# in generator.yml list: display: [title, Author] query_methods: [joinWithAuthor] fields: - Author: { is_sortable: true, sort_method: orderByAuthorLastName }
The generator will execute BookQuery::orderByAuthorLastName()
instead of BookQuery::orderByAuthor()
in that case.
The admin generator doesn't allow to filter the list using GET parameters. This neat feature used to be supported in previous versions of the generator, and is supported again in the admin15
All you have to do to filter a list view is to prepend a query string to the URL, describing the filters in a filters
array. For instance, to link to the book list view filtered by Author, try the following link:
<?php echo link_to($author->getName(), 'book', array(), array('query_string' => 'filters[author_id]=' . $author->getId())) ?>
This is very useful for partial lists, to link admin modules together.
In lists, related object columns often have to link to another admin generator module. For instance, in a list of Books
, a column showing the Author
name usually needs to link to the edit
view in the author
module for the current book author. You can implement this feature using a partial column:
# in generator.yml list: display: [title, _author]
The partial column code is a one-liner, but it's quite tedious to repeat it many times:
// in modules/book/templates/_author.php <?php echo link_to($book->getAuthor(), 'author_edit', $book->getAuthor) ?>
The admin15
theme provides a shortcut for this situation. Just define the link_module
setting in the Author
field configuration to point the author
module, and you're good to go:
# in generator.yml list: display: [title, Author] fields: Author: { link_module: author }
You no longer need a partial for such simple cases. This should unclutter the templates/
directory of your admin generator modules.
Adding custom filters becomes very easy once you can take advantage of the generated Propel query classes. For example, in a list of Books
, the default filters offer one text input for the book title, and a second one for the book ISBN. In order to replace them with a single text input, here is what you need to do:
// in lib/filter/BookFormFilter.php class BookFormFilter extends BaseBookFormFilter { public function configure() { $this->widgetSchema['full_text'] = new sfWidgetFormFilterInput(array('with_empty' => false)); $this->validatorSchema['full_text'] = new sfValidatorPass(array('required' => false)); } } // in lib/model/Bookquery.php class BookQuery extends BaseBookQuery { public function filterByFullText($value) { if (isset($value['text'])) { $pattern = '%' . $value['text'] . '%'; $this ->condition('condTitle', 'Book.Title LIKE ?', $pattern) ->condition('condISBN', 'Book.ISBN LIKE ?', $pattern) ->combine(array('condTitle', 'condISBN'), Criteria::LOGICAL_OR); } return $this; } }
Now just modify the filters.display
setting in the generator.yml
to remove the title
and isbn
filters, and replace them with the new full_text
# in modules/book/config/generator.yml config: filters: display: [full_text]
The amdin generator looks for a filterByXXX()
is the CamelCase version of the custom filter you add.

A gas-station employee was taken to hospital following a violent early-morning robbery, Friday.
Two men, one armed with a weapon, walked into a store in the 1600 block of King Edward Street around 5:30 a.m.
The 38-year-old man who was working alone was forced to hand over cash and cigarettes to the men. They then fled, according to police.
The employee was then taken to hospital in stable condition where he was treated for minor injuries.
Officers used the canine unit to track down two suspects to the 1900 block of William Avenue West, where they were arrested. The stolen cash and cigarettes were then recovered, police said.
Two 24-year-old men from Winnipeg, Damon Ernest Nyiro and Michael McKenzie Graham Carriere are now facing multiple charges.

When it comes to college savings, many parents think they can't save enough to make a difference, they won't choose a smart investment, or it'll come down to a choice between paying for college or retirement. First things first — take a deep breath. It's not about paying for everything — it's about saving what you can. Next, know that you're not alone in this. There's a smart way to do it affordably and conveniently with the Kentucky Education Savings Plan Trust (KESPT).
The Cost of College Shouldn't Keep You Up At Night
Yes, college tuition costs are far outpacing inflation, and yes this is a big concern for most parents. But there's good news: KESPT can pay for these costs. If you've got $25 and a spare 15 minutes, you could open an account today. Since your account can grow tax deferred, you'll save more over time, so the sooner you start the better.
KESPT Gives You More Choice
Choose from a variety of investments that fit your timeline and investment goals, including an easy, all-in-one option like the age-based investment options that automatically change as your child ages. Use the money at any state or private college, technical school, or community college that offers financial aid — even schools outside the US. Make qualified withdrawals free from tax on not just tuition, but certain room and board, books, computers and related technology expenses, equipment and supplies.
Don't Choose Between College and Retirement
Many parents worry they'll need to make a choice between retirement and their child's education. They understandably feel like making sure their child receives a college education should be the priority. In reality, retirement should be the priority, but you should save for both if possible. Don't stress if you can't pay for all of college, just start small and save steady. With KESPT you can start for as little as $25, and keep feeding your retirement nest egg. Also keep in mind there are many smart ways to reduce the cost of higher education before you even spend a dime.

I was afraid that one day you would figure out this internet thing and read this blog and think that Caden was all we thought about these days . . .And I want you to know, beyond every shadow of a doubt, that you are so so loved and cherished by your daddy and me. Every time you stayed with grandparents because Caden was in the hospital and we were visiting him, we told each other that we missed having you with us. Some of the sweetest times I've had in the past few weeks, times that have sustained my heart, have been times I spent with you. Snuggling together in bed, praying for brother, hiding in your tent, reading stories under the covers, making pancakes, drawing pictures . . .You are a continual source of joy and life for us, and we could not be prouder of the little girl that you are.
Your heart is special too. I know because I see it every day. I see it in the way you hug me when I'm sad about Caden, and when you dance with your daddy in the living room. I see it when you hold "brother's" finger, and when you gently kiss the top of his head. I need you to know, sweet Jayci, that your daddy and I see your heart and we think it is beautiful.
When I see how grown-up you are, how much you've become a little girl and less of a baby, I feel a little sad at how fast things life moves. I can remember holding you for the first time like it was yesterday, and I have treasured every moment with you since then.
You are a bundle of energy and quite a mess sometimes, but I suppose that comes with the territory of being almost 3 years old. You are shy at first around new people, and I can see a lot of myself in your quieter side. It's a little disconcerting, really, to see pieces of yourself in someone else. And I'm praying every day that those parts of me that are in you will be parts that you can love and accept, even when you're a teenager and really, really, really don't want to be anything like your mom.
My biggest prayer for you is that you would be secure in Christ. That you would know who you are, how loved you are, how special you are. That you would see how carefully God crafted you, and our whole family, according to a perfect plan.
Speaking of plans, I'm pretty sure that God has some big plans for you my sweet little girl. I hope and pray that your beautiful heart will fall more and more in love with a God who can be trusted every single day. And I pray that these days, when life was hard because your brother was sick, will be a time that molds you and shapes you into something even more beautiful because it teaches you about Him.
Know that you are loved and cherished deeply by daddy and me. And that Caden is absolutely blessed to have you as his big sister. But more than any of that, we pray you will know that you have a heavenly Father who loves you and cherishes you and cares for you every single minute of every single day.
We love you beautiful girl,
Mommy (and Daddy)

50 Greatest Animated Films of All Time
Sort by:
Showing 50 items
List Type:
Princess Mononoke (1997)
How could a film more complex than Shakespearean poetry, more violent than all the Looney Toons shorts combined, longer than two Disney films put together possibly be for children? That's easy, it isn't, necessarily. Since when were animated films ever for just children? This misconception has turned many adults away from some of the most ingenious, powerful, brilliant films of all time. Princess Mononoke is undoubtedly one of those films, probably as good as any live action film you'll ever see. Everything, from the beautiful music to the storytelling, to the character development, the use of color, cinematography, etc. Everything is in place. This is the height of the animation industry, in terms of storytelling power and construction. Who else but Miyazaki?
jaronemo's rating:
What could be more fun than observing as history is being made? Ya, Disney and his legendary staff of animators know this, too. Snow White is more than just a landmark film, it is high entertainment at its very fullest, from beginning to end, a triumph.
jaronemo's rating:
Toy Story (1995)
Once again, history is being made here, and not just does the staff of Pixar make sure every pixel of animation is intact, they make sure they have made a truly great movie. They succeeded. Woody and Buzz practically jump off the screen; they are almost as if you have always known them, but for some reason are being introduced for the first time. And just like Snow White, this is high entertainment and a triumph from beginning to end.
jaronemo's rating:
Castle in the Sky (1986)
This is probably the tightest Miyazaki film. Though at 2hr. and 4min. it is not his shortest film, the storytelling is bright and to the point. Dola is among the funniest of all animated characters and Mark Hamill's performance as the evil Muska is a real stand-out. Miyazaki's keen eye for directing is at its most indisputably deft here. Can't help but admire the brilliance at work here.
jaronemo's rating:
Pinocchio (1940)
While much darker than his first movie and not quite as riotously entertaining, Pinocchio still does not fail to genuinely impress. Talking animals enter for the first time in a Disney feature and rough edges are gracefully sanded off (one must wonder as they are watching this, what is left to fix? While only on their second film, the Walt Disney Company is already dealing with perfection). An impressive film.
jaronemo's rating:
My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
My Neighbor Totoro is such a beautiful film. It is told with the most tender of hearts and minds, and an unadulterated hope and optimism. Yes, the mom is sick and the kids are making it into more than it is; but that is, in a sense, the power of the film, the unfiltered innocence of the children and how they view the world, and how you wish you were more like them again.
jaronemo's rating:
Fantasia (1940)
This is not the most fun movie to watch, not the most exciting or exhilerating experience; however, this is probably THE textbook of animation ingenuity (And since when was reading a schoolbook fun, right?). Fantasia is the brainchild of a studio at the height of their ingenuity and creative skills; and in that respect, this is an all-time (yet very wierd) classic.
jaronemo's rating:
Spirited Away (2001)
Now, instead of unadulterated, unfiltered innocence, we are able to see Miyazaki's unfiltered mind and imagination. For a Japanese picture, this is a very American film. It seems almost as though Miyazaki is kissing up to the western audience, surrendering to something happy, slightly less complex than Mononoke, and much more free and unphilosophical. No-Face is probably the most complex character in the film (yes, even more complex than the whiny Chihiro), yet there is still something brimming underneath the surface. Miyazaki has that special power, I can't explain it.
jaronemo's rating:
The Little Mermaid (1989)
There was something very beautiful happening during the Disney renaissance. The Little Mermaid captures this feeling perfectly. The bright and dark colors, precise and exciting animation, fast-paced, yet carefully managed, storytelling, and strong characters, among other things, permeate the rebirth that happened in this era, and certainly in this landmark film. Something seems very beautifully perverse underneath all the drawings and the music in this movie. Probably cause Mr. Disney was dead.
jaronemo's rating:
Finding Nemo (2003)
Watch The Little Mermaid, then watch this (their both underwater adventures). Isn't it amazing what computers can do, AND the entertaining storytelling quality of Pixar! However, I still like hand-drawn animation more - gotta love the blood, sweat and tears that fall on the page as their hand gets tired of gripping a pencil all day!
jaronemo's rating:
Bambi (1942)
And now for a film even darker than Pinocchio. For anyone who remembers Bambi as the most innocent of films, look again. Bambi is about the brutality of the human race, in a sense; but also the necessity of death. Love, in the end, however, conquers and undermines all.
jaronemo's rating:
Aladdin (1992)
One word: Genie. One more word: animation. One more word: Disney renaissance - ok, that makes two more words.
jaronemo's rating:
Impressively smooth stop-motion animation makes this film a stand-out in the animation genre. Beautifully macabre, funny, and scary all at the same time. Best music of any Disney cartoon - dead serious! (and for those who don't know, Disney owns Touchstone - so THERE)
jaronemo's rating:
Sometimes the animation looks as if its not moving at all, like they took a cut-out from a magazine and moved it across the page. But no one can deny the magnetic quality of this film (like the ohms!), and its potential for extreme cult following.
jaronemo's rating:
Dumbo (1941)
Trust me, it's not as dumb as it sounds. Legendary storytelling!
jaronemo's rating:
The first 30 minutes (the silent section) is, I believe, the greatest animated work I have ever seen. WALL-e's romance with Eve is beautiful, heart-warming, and hilarious. however, the last hour is thrown in the dumpster and flushed down the toilet. WHY? I must ask you, WHY?!?!?!
jaronemo's rating:
Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
The most beautifully animated film I can ever remember watching (except maybe for WALL-e), Howl's Moving Castle impresses and impresses and impresses and then lets you down right at the end. It's kinda like blowing up this homongous baloon, folding it a million different ways, then popping it with a needle. Here kid!
jaronemo's rating:
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
I used to think this film was much better than it really is. The key element missing from this film is... Miyazaki. HELLO, it's Studio Ghibli!! But he was too busy making his masterpiece My Neighbor Totoro. This could have been such a moving film, but I feel that the sad moments come all too quickly and too often to maintain their effect. Still a classic, though.
jaronemo's rating:
The Lion King (1994)
I must begin by saying, The Lion King might well be the most overrated animated film of all time. It has never deserved comparison with the Disney classics, and therefore shoudln't be compared with them. The animation looks very "fake," and the mood is not as carefully developed as it should be. However, there is still some obvious genius at work here.
jaronemo's rating:
Toy Story 2 (1999)
I don't like Jane, I didn't care for their villain, Woody lost some of his touch, but Buzz Lightyear got even more totally awesome! Zurg was a wonderful addition to the film - Oh, and the animation looks lightyears ahead of its time.
jaronemo's rating:
Shrek (2001)
If you think Eddie Murphy is funny, then you are in for a treat. His characterization of Donkey is a work of art, as well as the many parodies and sarcasms loaded throughout the film. This, however, is definitely not pixar, as it fails to tell a moving story when it eventually attempts to get serious.
jaronemo's rating:
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
I'm not a big fan of Billy Cristal's characterization of Mike Wazowski, but I did rather enjoy John Goodman's voicework as Sulley. Boo is adorable, and this really is a very good, funny, enjoyable movie.
jaronemo's rating:
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
This is where I start digging on holy turf. Beauty and the Beast really isn't that good. The storytelling is intact, but it is sadly, a little too forced. The animation is sketchy at times, but the overall experience is still exhilerating. I totally have mixed feelings about this film.
jaronemo's rating:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
WOW! The Hunchback of Notre Dame really delivers in many ways. It is very dark, very perverse, very funny, and very entertaining. It is an unsung classic of animated brilliance, yet still somehow seems a little aware of the fact that "kids are watching." Still, "Hellfire" is a brave, impressive song.
jaronemo's rating:
Ratatouille (2007)
This might be Pixar's most artistically conceived film, a very delicate and thoughtful film, brimming with imagination, yet reigned in with a short leash for reality. In some ways, a little over-serious at times, but still great fun.
jaronemo's rating:
A Bug's Life (1998)
With Pixar's more recent works, people have forgotten how innovative A Bug's Life was, and how wonderfully entertaining it is.
jaronemo's rating:
Kiki's Delivery Service (1989)
Kiki's Delivery Service, for some reason, just ranked as the no. 1 Miyazaki film of all time on rottentomatoes.com. While obviously not as ingenius as his more creative works, Kiki's is still passable as a wonderful example of great movie directing.
jaronemo's rating:
The Iron Giant (1999)
The E.T. of animated films. While not as tight or as beautiful as a Disney picture, there are still many impressive things about this film.
jaronemo's rating:
Coraline (2009)
A gigantic fireworks show of beautiful stop-motion animation. Still has its own share of dislikable elements, but it's impressive nonetheless.
jaronemo's rating:
Lady and the Tramp (1955)
With a slightly bland storyline, Lady and the Tramp is not as involving as Disney's greater works. But, still, there's very little to complain about with this classic.
jaronemo's rating:
Animal Farm (1954)
One of the weirdest films on this list, Animal Farm is the first animated feature film from Britian. With stodgy animation and bold storytelling, Animal Farm is both great and not-so-great.
jaronemo's rating:
The Incredibles (2004)
Not as good as I wish it was. The Incredibles is non-stop entertainment and action, but is not without its share of extremely corny lines.
jaronemo's rating:
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Completely void of complexity, Sleeping Beauty is celebrated only for its great animation and dynamic portrayal of good vs. evil.
jaronemo's rating:
Up (2009)
Very slow and overrated film that's almost as lethargic as its main character. The beauty of Pixar's sensitive storytelling is still present, but I can't help but feel betrayed by the one-dimensional villain.
jaronemo's rating:
Ponyo (2008)
As weird as Miyazaki's films tend to be, this one might well be the weirdest. While I admire the superb directing, the film is just plain too weird and awkward, not-to-mention far too kiddie-friendly.
jaronemo's rating:
Toy Story 3 (2010)
Every single scene is swamped by a super-charged sentimentalism for the original Toy Story film. It's attempts to admire the original turn into a sappy swamp of pointless screenplay elements, as well as some amateurish story-telling.
jaronemo's rating:
The Jungle Book (1967)
Far from Disney's greatest work, Jungle Book is completely about Baloo the Bear. Eveything else can be pretty-much forgotten about.
jaronemo's rating:
Mulan (1998)
The dynamic storytelling, side-splitting comedy, bold social commentary, involving music, would not be complete without Disney's inaccurate historical accounts that play on formulaic cliches and mediocre villain development.
jaronemo's rating:
Cinderella (1950)
Pretty much mediocre in every way, but it is still a Disney classic.
jaronemo's rating:
Tarzan (1999)
Beautifully animated, yet very dramatic. Far from classic, yet far from bomb.
jaronemo's rating:
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Hilarious and way better than expected, Kung Fu Panda is almost as good as Shrek.
jaronemo's rating:
Hercules (1997)
There are a few things to complain about with this film, but why bring them up when it's so much fun?
jaronemo's rating:
Cars (2006)
Over-looked Pixar film is the rare kind that gets better with each viewing. While it is their most mediocre film to date, it really isn't all that bad.
jaronemo's rating:
This is a list of what I would consider to be the greatest examples of profound animated cinema of all time. This is a list that considers over-all greatness, not just entertainment value (though I'm tempted to make that list, too). For example, I personally find the movie Fantasia to be extremely dull and yawn-inducing, but must, however, consider its greatness and influence on animation and therefore place it high on this list. Hope you enjoy!

Top Ten Characters That Should be in Smash
Posted: 5 years, 6 months ago at Sep 16 0:20
PLEASE feel free to comment. I would very much like to know what you think, and how this list can be improved. Thanks
Posted: 5 years, 6 months ago at Sep 29 2:20
Interesting list. I confess to have seen many of those films too.
I agree about Mark Hamill's performance in LAPUTA; he really made the film for me, but what did you think of the other VAs? I thought they were great too (even if the leads were kinda mature sounding).

I would be curious to hear how Sheeta and Pazu would have sounded with younger-sounding voices, but I don't find them as annoying as some people think they are, though there is room for improvement. I LOVED Dola's voice-over! The rest of the voice-over jobs I think are just average (and at times a little sketchy and scattered). However, unlike most of his other films I enjoyed the English version of this significantly more than the Japanese. But this might also be due to the great re-scoring by Joe Hisaishi. LOVED THAT!

Yeah, the new score by Hisaishi is a real blessing; it really sold the dub for me. And yes, Dola was great as well; and even though I probably am in the minority, I didn't mind Pazu and Sheeta. Sure, they sounded mature, but I didn't think they were that bad—they got really good at the climax. As for the other voices, I liked the guys who did the General, pirates, Uncle Pom, and miners the best. I can understand why some may find them a bit "cartoony" but considering the sometimes cartoonish nature of the film, that isn't a bad think at all.

Which would you rather have – women's rights or freedom of speech? For the crowd standing outside the Ecuadorian Embassy, listening to various venerable activists give rousing speeches, that's the choice that seems to have been placed before the international left in the person of Julian Paul Assange.
When the WikiLeaks founder finally appeared on the balcony, he praised those present for their courage, and nobody mentioned his being wanted for questioning in Sweden on alleged counts of rape and sexual assault.
For Assange and his supporters, his persecution by Interpol has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with his release of confidential diplomatic cables and videos showing the US Army gunning down unarmed civilians and independent journalists in Iraq.
The idea that Assange cannot be prosecuted for charges related to a sexual assault without being prosecuted for charges related to exposing diplomatic secrets is one that the government of the United States is trying very hard to make reality. It is in their interests to ensure that Assange's army of supporters cannot defend WikiLeaks without also being seen to defend his sexual conduct, whatever the truth of the case.
"The allegations are beyond pathetic and ridiculous," said Andreas Kohl, a 17-year-old German-American WikiLeaks supporter. "It's about freedom of speech, and there is absolutely no evidence of him committing anything that would be remotely considered rape." This is the message that idealistic young men all over the world are learning from this case: governments need to be held to account, independent journalism is powerful, and women lie about rape.
"It's something that can just happen, you know," said Bradford MP George Galloway, commenting on the case and defending the right of men everywhere not to have to ask "prior to each insertion".
Interestingly enough, "something that can just happen" is almost exactly how the United States describes collateral slaughter in Iraq. It's unfortunate, but it happens, and the victims were probably dressed unwisely. Paradoxically, in a case that is supposed to be all about radical transparency, the precise legal issues and possible charges at play in Assange's extradition are murky and misunderstood by practically everyone without access to every email chain. What charges is he facing, or are they just allegations, and does that matter before he crosses the Swedish border? Was it rape or just, in Galloway's delicate phraseology, "bad sexual etiquette"? Can he really be legally extradited to the United States if he goes to Sweden? Nobody in the crowd outside the embassy seemed sure of the facts.
Let's be clear here: nobody should have to stifle one set of principles in order to allow another to live. If you choose to do so, that's a matter for your conscience. For myself, I believe in freedom of speech, and in the power of journalism– it's what I do for a living. I believe that governments need to be made to answer for pursuing profit in the name of peace and massacring thousands in the name of security. I believe in ending the age of secrecy, and I believe that the United States currently seeks to prevent that by pursuing and prosecuting hackers, whistle-blowers and journalists across the world. And I also believe women.
I believe women when they say that their sexual consent is infringed, violently and by coercion, by men they trust and admire, as well as by strangers. I believe that rape and sexual violence are wilfully ignored and misunderstood by governments, except when they happen to be accusing radical transparency campaigners of assault. I believe that it is possible to believe women and to support WikiLeaks at the same time without moral hypocrisy, and I believe that those across the left who seem to have a problem with holding those two simple ideas in their heads at the same time need to ask themselves what accountability actually means.
Nobody should be forced to choose between defending investigative journalism and freedom of speech, and fighting for justice in the global war on women's bodies. So please don't ask if one alleged sex attacker out of hundreds of millions currently walking free and unpursued across three continents should be made to answer for his actions in a court of law when all that distinguishes him from the rest of the army of decent men doing despicable things to women without facing the consequences is the fact that he happens to have personally embarrassed several governments. Please don't ask, because the answer hurts.
The answer is, of course, that Julian Assange should be held to account, of course he should, and he should be held to account in a system where due process means something and women are respected, and currently that system does not exist. Come back to me when the 19,000 annual sex attacks committed by members of the US Army and private contractors against their own fellow soldiers are prosecuted. Come back to me when Bradley Manning is free.
That's not a torturous way of saying, don't come back to me at all. I want that world right now, and I want to see everyone else who believes in basic principles of truth and transparency put down their prejudices and fight for that world with some semblance of consistency.
It comes down to justice and accountability. Those are not things that governments can currently be trusted to deliver at an international level, not for women, and not for the victims of war. Julian Assange should be held to account, and the system to do so fairly while protecting the work of WikiLeaks does not exist, and anyone who believes in freedom needs to fight for both.
It is not only possible to defend both women's rights and freedom of speech. It is morally inconsistent to defend one without the other other. Cultures of secrecy, covert violence and unaccountability need to be exposed. That's what Wiki-Leaks is supposed to be about, and it's also what feminism is about, and right now, governments are terrified of both. That, if nothing else, should tell us where the lines of power are really drawn.


text: I've added some commits to ensure libguestfs can compile on Fedora/ARM (with all options and bindings enabled except Haskell). However it doesn't quite run yet: (1) The Fedora qemu package is broken. Don't use it; compile qemu from source instead. (2) You have to configure libguestfs to pass extra qemu options. Currently you should use: PATH=/path/to/your/qemu/arm-softmmu:$PATH \ ./autogen.sh \ --with-qemu=qemu-system-arm \ --with-qemu-options="-M versatilepb -cpu arm926" (3) The versatilepb emulated system only supports memory < 512MB, and will only boot the standard kernel, so when running you need something like this: FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL=/boot/vmlinuz-3.3.4-4.fc17.armv7hl \ FEBOOTSTRAP_MODULES=/lib/modules/3.3.4-4.fc17.armv7hl \ LIBGUESTFS_MEMSIZE=256 \ LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 \ make check (4) Currently this will fail because the virtio-pci driver doesn't work on ARM. The characteristic stack trace starts with: [ 4.841052] [<c0230a08>] (vp_reset+0x14/0x64) from [<c022fa48>] (register_virtio_device+0x4c/0x94) [ 4.844047] [<c022fa48>] (register_virtio_device+0x4c/0x94) from [<c04277bc>] (virtio_pci_probe+0x100/0x168) [ 4.846966] [<c04277bc>] (virtio_pci_probe+0x100/0x168) from [<c02138e0>] (pci_device_probe+0x90/0x120) [ 4.850258] [<c02138e0>] (pci_device_probe+0x90/0x120) from [<c025fe98>] (driver_probe_device+0x148/0x2c4) (Note that you cannot work around this by choosing a different block driver, because eventually virtio-serial is required which will fail in the same way). (5) To fix (4), it is planned to move to vexpress emulation. This also lifts the memory limit to <= 2GB. vexpress doesn't have PCI at all, but it has a non-upstream virtio-mmio transport which allegedly works (I've not tried it). This also requires a new kernel for Fedora/ARM build with vexpress support. The configure options mentioned in step (2) will change to: --with-qemu-options="-M vexpress-a9 -cpu cortex-a9" Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora

it starts out a little hard then gets easier, but hell i enjoyed it good game keep it up.
This game is addicting.
It'd be great if it had medals.
Or at least unlockables.
Thanks were planning that in the next update
This game is practically impossible. I do like the idea and concept of them game, but you start out with 50 shapes already in your face. Maybe you could make it so there are more shapes appearing as you progress in the game? I would also recommend that you slowly rise as some recovery. The powers you added were a nice touch and the music should loop.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll start working on some of your suggestions

Alpheus Beede Stickney
Alpheus Beede Stickney | |
Alpheus Beede Stickney, c. 1880.
Born | Wilton, Maine |
June 27, 1840
Died | August 9, 1916 St. Paul, Minnesota |
(aged 76)
Nationality | American |
Alpheus Beede "A.B." Stickney (June 27, 1840 – August 9, 1916) was the first president of Chicago Great Western Railway, serving in that position from 1884 to 1909.
Youth and education[edit]
Alpheus Beede Stickney was born in Wilton, Maine, on June 27, 1840, the first son of Daniel Stickney and his third wife, Ursula Maria Beede.[1]
Railroad career[edit]
Stickney was a personal and professional friend of James J. Hill who he worked for and had a hand in Stickney's later railroads. Stickney in 1879 had been the construction superintendent for St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway, later known as the Great Northern Railway. James J. Hill in 1881 sent Stickney to be construction superintendent for the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1885 he started what would become the Chicago Great Western Railway, which linked Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City. Clearing Yard in Chicago was founded by him in 1889.
Stickney was a maverick among railroad executives of the time. He favored some regulation by the federal government and was opposed to the most flagrant abuses of the railroads. His viewpoint is well illustrated by the following quotation:
- "The managing officers were now potentates,--'railroad magnates,' 'railroad kings.' They traveled in state, surrounded by their personal staff, the heads of the different departments, who were almost as important personages as their chiefs. When they visited a town on their lines, the principal business men rushed to greet them. The fat of the land was at their disposal. Merchants sent baskets of champagne to the heads of the traffic departments and sealskin jackets to their wives, while on the other hand, special rates were liberally bestowed upon their favorites. Special clerks were required to be wholly employed in issuing free passes. Judges and juries seemed to have a perceptible bias in their favor, the brightest attorneys were retained, and minor officials were glad to grant them favors. The country press was subsidized with passes for editors, their families and their friends."[2]
Stickney died on August 9, 1916, and is buried in Oakland Cemetery, St. Paul, Minnesota.[1]
The village of Stickney, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago just south of Berwyn and Cicero, is named in his honor.[3]

Hi Heather! I just found your blog and LOVE it! I started a blog of my own fixing up a house I'm about to purchase (in a week!!) and I would absolutely love for you to check it out and give me as many pointers as you can. This will be my first time doing this, and it's a 100 year old house, so I'll take any and all advice I can get.
Can't wait for more updates on your blog!

Movie review: No
4 stars out of 5
Starring: Gael Garcia Bernal
Directed by: Pablo Larrain
Running time: 117 minutes
Parental advisory: violence, coarse language
Like a tsunami, you can't always tell how big a political wave will be just by scanning the horizon. The real height is only visible once that massive wall of water hits the ocean floor, and rises to a breaking crest in the moments before it crashes.
And by that time it's too late to find cover. Change will consume you in the frothing tide.
For citizens of Chile living under the Pinochet regime during the 1980s, there was little hope for change on the horizon.
The military dictator was in lock-step with other South American leaders who ruled with an iron fist and flattened any sense of autonomy through carefully waged campaigns of fear.
For more than 16 years, people disappeared in the middle of the night. Mass graves were dug in the desert sands and all hints of political opposition were crushed before they even hatched.
There was an uneasy sense of calm, but deep beneath the surface, a seismic shift was taking place. Pinochet was forced to pay lip-service to his post-coup constitution, in which he promised a period of transition whereby military rule would gradually be ceded to a new, democratically elected leader.
In 1988, Chileans were asked to vote in a plebiscite that would decide who that leader should be. They only had one candidate — Pinochet himself — who they could either approve with a "yes" vote, or ditch with a "no."
Given the nation had been living under martial law since Socialist President Salvador Allende had been deposed in a 1973 coup d'etat, nobody really thought there was much hope for a "no" vote.
The whole "democratic exercise" was just a pandering attempt to please the international community and rubber-stamp the status quo.
And yet, despite all the doubters and military pressure, Chileans somehow found the courage and the will to change their world.
In retrospect, it all seems highly logical and straightforward, but as Pablo Larrain's subtle yet politically complex film illustrates, the biggest problem facing the "No" side was a sense of resignation and hopelessness.
A beaten dog does not expect fair treatment, but with a little coaxing, he may believe that outstretched hand will offer a stroke instead of a swat to the head.
Affluent and comfortable ad executive Rene Saavedra (Gael Garcia Bernal) is looking to be that stroking hand. Assigned to work on the No campaign by his corporate boss, Rene understands it's all about optics more than results.
Yet, as a man who learned the art of persuasion working for the soda pop companies, he's still quietly hoping he can effect a massive change with a little TV airtime and a whole lot of media skills.
His biggest challenge is convincing his compatriots that it's worth a real shot.
When he signs on, those on the Left look at the referendum as an opportunity to highlight Pinochet's crimes. They have no hope of winning. They simply want their moment on the soapbox to spout.
Rene tries to convince them there is a real chance of winning, but only if they change their message of suppressed hate to hope.
What's refreshing about Larrain's treatment is the way everything feels incredibly benign until the wave rises from the depths.
If this movie had been made in the Hollywood tradition, the whole film would have gone from big boardroom moment to big boardroom moment, with a few dramatic gun fights in between for good measure.
What's refreshing about Larrain's treatment is the way everything feels incredibly benign until the wave rises from the depths and shows its surging face.
Shot in a grainy video-style that allows us to enter the era of early VHS tapes and We Are the World sing-a-longs, Larrain shows our unlikely hero doing ordinary things such as washing his car and skateboarding.
Even when a few bullet holes pierce his window, the threat feels abstract – but also ambient. Conjuring this type of elusive but palpable fear is the core reason why No works so well and made it to this year's final list of best foreign films at the Oscars.
The movie makes us feel how the average Chilean may have felt in the moments before the vote, accustomed to disappointment and betrayal, but nonetheless hopeful that something better may be around the corner.
Hope is political gold because it has no metric, and can't be crushed through negative advertising. It all seems obvious now, thanks to Barack Obama's slogans and Shepard Fairey posters, but back then it was nothing more than a ripple on an open ocean of fear.
Watching it break across the Chilean coast in this dramatically poignant, but oddly unfocused thriller feels like wading into a shallow pool that suddenly drops off and leaves you swimming in a whole new world: breathless, excited and drenched in a new appreciation for the comforts of the democratic ideal.

... hotel, the Rodos Palace. This seaside resort is a large convention hotel. We were lucky to be booked into the executive wing of the hotel and while it is a bit longer walk to the bars and restaurants it is a quiet sanctuary in this very busy place.
We had a short time to unpack and rest before we joined our group (and MANY other groups) for a buffet dinner. Unlike the meals in Turkey I found ...
Mosquitos and scorpions
... but now we were able to see much more as Eric was now on his own feet. It was really fascinating and the old harbor absolutely beautiful with the green and turquoise colored water. The ride back had me holding on for dear life, as the cliffs down were on my side of the car. The roads are narrow and extremely winding. But we made it ...
Gyros and Jamming
... budget tickets a few days before you travel. My plan was to go by train from Athens to Thessaloniki as it is a well documented route and sounds great. My ticket cost me €29 but if you book earlier 3/4 weeks in advance you can get some tickets for just €9. Thessaloniki is going to be fun to stay tuned for that one.
Tomorrow I fly from Rhodes to Athens and into the madness of city life... I wonder if it can handle ...
A rainy afternoon in Rhodes town

I headed back into the Old town in the evening and at 8pm the same stalls run by the same people were open. The Greeks really seem to put a days work in (much like me!!) and just like me!! They do it with a smile. I'm heading to Lindos tomorrow which is more of a beach like place to rest my weary ...

From FreeThoughtPedia
Sam Harris (1967-) is an American non-fiction writer. He is the author of The End of Faith (2004), which won the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award, and Letter to a Christian Nation (2006), a rejoinder to the criticism his first book attracted. In The End of Faith, Harris argues that religion, even when moderate, clouds our vision and allows tolerance of religious fundamentalism.

Colorado Republicans were divided on their presidential candidates Tuesday but united by a common conviction that the nation is headed in the wrong direction.
In schools, churches and private homes, voters said their concerns were the economy, energy policy and federal spending. But the top worry was distrust of President Barack Obama and unease with the direction of the nation.
"I honestly am afraid for our country," said 59-year-old Linda Hatch, who attended her first precinct caucus Tuesday at Columbine High School in Littleton. She supported former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Hatch and her husband, Bill, live in a townhome because they can't sell a house they own in California. Bill Hatch said the last four years have been tough and that he feels a special urgency this year that Republicans get it right.
"This is more critical in the history of the nation than World War II, Columbine or 9/11," he said.
Fellow Republicans seemed to agree, though they were divided on which candidate to choose.
At the end of the day, it was former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum who claimed victory. Returns from all the precincts showed Santorum with 40 percent of the vote to 35 for Romney. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 13, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul claimed 12 percent.
Cecilia Seipp of Wheat Ridge liked Santorum because "he's a Constitutional observer."
"He's a good Christian man," she said.
Santorum courted Colorado's evangelical conservatives heavily in recent days. He appeared at Colorado Christian University and made several stops near Colorado Springs, home of the Christian advocacy group Focus on the Family.
Romney also campaigned in Colorado and spent caucus night in Denver.
In the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colorado Republican Party Chair Ryan Call said he believed any of the remaining GOP presidential candidates could pose a serious challenge to President Barack Obama.
Veteran caucus-goers said there was a big uptick this year in campaigning. They talked about getting phone calls, emails and mailed pleas for support from the campaigns.
"They've all been calling. I can't even keep track anymore," Linda Hatch said.
But if the stakes were high, voters seemed confident the eventual winner would be able to defeat the president.
Said Longmont caucus-goer Cherie Turner, "I find it hard to believe our country would elect him again."
Former Colorado GOP chairman Dick Wadhams participated in the caucuses at Columbine High. He said the state GOP made a smart decision by moving its caucuses ahead a month. In 2008, Colorado's presidential caucuses were held on Super Tuesday, and bigger states stole the show.
"Last time we were really swallowed up. Now we're getting the attention," Wadhams said.

Strategy-Proof Stochastic Assignment
I study strategy-proof assignment mechanisms where the agents reveal their preference rankings over the available objects. A stochastic mechanism returns lotteries over deterministic assignments, and mechanisms are compared according to first-order stochastic dominance. I show that non-wasteful strategy-proof mechanisms are not dominated by strategy-proof mechanisms, however nonwastefulness is highly restrictive when the mechanism involves randomization. In fact, the Random Priority mechanism (i.e., the Random Serial Dictatorship), and a recently adopted school choice mechanism, Deferred Acceptance with Random Tie-breaking, are wasteful. I find that both these mechanisms are dominated by strategy-proof mechanisms. In general, strategy-proof improvement cannot be due to merely reshuffling objects, and therefore must involve assigning more objects. Forthcoming in

Cinemarch Madness: George Division Poll
From the looks of the nominations thread, the George Divison belongs to Hotel Rwanda, Pan's Labyrinth, and Where the Red Fern Grows. We saw valid cases made for all; I haven't watched any of these, though, so I won't vote for them — or for Kramer vs. Kramer (downbeat, great gritty era light, but not enough, even with that playground sequence) or Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola's clinical eye can alienate, but tends to stop short of harrowing).
Salo…tough one. (On every level.) Having not seen it either, I wonder if that one's straddling (…sorry) an In the Realm of the Senses line between "this is a reflection of the/a human condition that is extraordinarily hard to take" and "this is an exercise in hard-to-take-ness."
And I might have thrown The Wedding Banquet a vote if it had started out in another division. Not here, because it's in with Kids, a film whose eponymous little personality disorders haunt me to this day (and the sex scene; and her cab ride; and the claustrophobia of Telly's mother's apartment), and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, which brings you along into the exhaustion and disorientation of the characters, and the grime of hopelessness and sour moral relativism that covers everything, so effectively that it doesn't even need the kicker…but what a kicker it is. (And with a soupcon of…well, just Google Gig Young.) (…Iiiii know.)
The third slot is a tough one once again; I could go Ice Storm. Kevin Kline looking both hopefully and hopelessly into the back seat at his son had me choking in the theater, and Adam Hann-Byrd is flawless (and his scenes beyond disquieting) as Sandy.
But instead, I think it's The Vanishing. (Not this one.) You know what's coming. You know Rex's ruin is inevitable, and you know its nature; the sadness of the emotional situation fights with a physiological and phobic response to its arithmetic. It's stayed with me ever since. (On a side note, if you…well, "liked" is maybe not the thing with these, but if you "thought well of" The Vanishing, give Epitafios a try, if only so that someone, anyone else has seen it and can talk about it with me. And also if you're like, "Sleeping? Hate it!" because yeee-iiiiiikes.)
George Division: Vote for the THREE (3) harshest films.
- Hotel Rwanda (51%, 154 Votes)
- Kids (44%, 132 Votes)
- Pan's Labryinth (40%, 120 Votes)
- Where the Red Fern Grows (25%, 75 Votes)
- The Ice Storm (25%, 75 Votes)
- They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (19%, 57 Votes)
- The Vanishing (Dutch ver.) (16%, 48 Votes)
- Kramer vs. Kramer (11%, 32 Votes)
- Lost in Translation (8%, 24 Votes)
- Salo (4%, 13 Votes)
- Ratcatcher (3%, 10 Votes)
- Mean Creek (2%, 7 Votes)
- The Wedding Banquet (1%, 4 Votes)
- The Wages of Fear (1%, 3 Votes)
- Kanal (1%, 2 Votes)
Total Voters: 301
Not sure what's going on? You'll fit right in around here (heh) but in the meantime, the Cinemarch Madness FAQ is here, and a poll overview is here.

It's been mentioned that having extra time to prepare for the Georgia Tech option is an advantage.
It is, but for Ole Miss that time is rapidly slipping away. When you factor in a Christmas break for a Dec. 30 bowl game you have little more than an open date once finals are complete.
That was this past Friday, and that's when Ole Miss got back on the field for two closed practice sessions. No doubt a lot of heavy lifting for the game plan took place then.
Today's practice is at 2:45, and it's open to media. I'll have an update here afterward.
Extra practice for anyone's offense is always welcome. The advantage Ole Miss will have here is Dave Wommack. The Rebels' defensive coordinator spent two years with Paul Johnson — the 2008 and 2009 seasons — at Georgia Tech. The first year was pretty good, the second wasn't, and there was a mutual parting of the ways.
That option offense hasn't changed. The personnel will be different, but Wommack will have a good idea of tendencies.
The offensive line coach, Mike Sewak, was on staff at Tech with Wommack. Both arrived for Johnson's first season.
Quarterbacks coach Bryan Cook is in his first year, but Johnson serves as his own offensive coordinator. Two other members of Johnson's staff also go back to his first season.

Sabine Ulibarrí
Sabine Reyes Ulibarrí (September 21, 1919 – January 4, 2003) was an American poet. He was also a teacher, a writer, a critic, and a statesman. Ulibarrí was born in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico.
Sabine Ulibarrí served his country in World War II with the U.S. Army Air Corps. He was decorated for his valor during the war with two medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. After the war he continued his studies at the University of New Mexico where he received his Master's in Spanish. After teaching for a few years at UNM he enrolled in the University of California, Los Angeles where he worked on his doctorate in Spanish literature. After receiving his doctorate in 1958 from UCLA he returned to the University of New Mexico and taught Spanish and Spanish-American literature until he retired in 1982.
Sabine Ulibarri is known widely for his use of language when crafting his stories, and the use of details of rural New Mexican Spanish and Native American life. His stories are considered some of the earliest roots in modern Hispano Literature taking shape both in Spanish and English. His books, Mi Abuela Fumaba Puros (My Grandmother Smoked Cigars)' and 'Mi Caballo Mago (My Wonder Horse)' and 'Tierra Amarilla: and other stories' are considered by many native New Mexican writers as quintessential examples of modern Hispanic literature and have inspired countless young Hispanics to become writers and educators.
Some argue that Sabine Ulibarri—alongside Rudolfo Anaya – was one of the great thinkers of modern Hispanic literature who was grounded in what would be termed the 'old ways.' He was able to recollect for younger Hispanos a sense of place and enlighten them with stories of the difficulties of living in Tierra Amarilla, a town which became famous during the Tierra Amarilla Court House raid. It is not known if any of Ulibarri's family or friends were involved in such contentious moments in New Mexican history. Sabine Ulibarri could be credited with highlighting the struggle of traditional values versus modern American law and policies such as 'manifest destiny' and how these concepts began eroding more than 500 years of agricultural and spiritual-based traditional lifestyles of northern New Mexico. He framed the conflict eloquently in his prose without ever digressing into political dissertation.

Is it possible to have too much cash for your own good?
I believe the average 7th grader would easily recognize the inherent absurdity of such a question. However, the average economic writer does not understand what the average 7th grader does.
For example, please consider Apple isn't the only company with too much cash on CNN Money by author Paul La Monica.
Issuing preferred shares that pay a big dividend may not be the best use of Apple's more than $137 billion of cash and liquid investments. But hedge fund manager and Apple shareholder David Einhorn, who is pushing the maker of iEverything to reward investors with a new class of high-yielding stock, has a point.
Apple should be doing something more productive with its more than $137 billion in cash. Did I mention that Apple (AAPL) has more than $137 billion in cash?
And it's not alone. Several leaders in the tech and pharmaceutical industries are hoarding cash. ....
Mercy! Corporations have too much cash! And they are hoarding it!
My Goodness. It's no wonder their stocks are doing poorly. Why everyone knows making money is bad business and spending money isn't.
Yes readers, this is the way economic writers on mainstream media think.
Although I am not opposed to higher dividend yields, I am also not opposed to the concept of waiting for better opportunities.
Recall that Microsoft bid $44.6 billion for Yahoo in 2008. Microsoft's offer was over $30 a share. The current price, after a huge rally is $21.
But No! Heaven forbid corporations "hoard cash". La Monica wants corporations to do something with their cash now.
The fact is the S&P just had a rally over 100%. Stocks are likely to correct (and hard). Buying companies at lofty prices is a fool's game, and I commend Apple for not doing it.

From the "Recipes for Children"
"For a really hilarious dinner, nothing equals this schoolmate of Donald Duck." |

A new study from Uppsala University demonstrates that elderly humans carrying a common variant of the fat mass and obesity gene FTO also have a shifted endocrine balance. Low blood concentrations of the satiety hormone leptin and high blood concentrations of the hunger promoting hormone ghrelin makes carriers of the FTO gene put on weight. The findings are published in the journal Diabetes.
In the Prospective Investigation of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors, researchers from Uppsala University and the University of Ume used data from 985 elderly participants (50% females) with an average age of 70 years to examine whether circulating levels of ghrelin and leptin, measured after an overnight fast, are linked to a common variant of FTO.
"We found that elderly carrying an obesity-susceptible variant of the FTO gene had plasma ghrelin levels that were approximately 9 percent higher than in non-carriers. In contrast, serum levels of the satiety enhancing hormone leptin were roughly 11 percent lower", says Christian Benedict, researcher at Uppsala University.
"The present findings suggest that this FTO variant may facilitate weight gain in humans by shifting the endocrine balance from the satiety hormone leptin toward the hunger promoting hormone ghrelin", says Christian Benedict.

Go Fly a Kite!
Saturday, July 1, 2006
The Embarcadero at Seaport Village and East Mission Bay Park are the two of the most popular places to watch the most amazing kites in action. Bring the beach chairs and set up a picnic at one of the public picnic tables and sit back and watch the magical shapes and rainbow of colors dancing on the bay breezes. Is there a better way to enjoy an afternoon? If you want to go fly your own kite, try Mariner's Point on Mission Bay . It's usually not crowded, and there's almost always a good wind. And you can see the wind direction from the flag atop the Hyatt Islandia hotel. It's great exercise-- exhilarating, even if the wind does most of the work.
One of the best times and places to watch the colorful displays filling the skies with aerial acrobatics is the second Saturday of each month at Tecolote Shores, off East Mission Bay Drive, south of the San Diego Hilton Resort, when the San Diego Kite Club meets here. It's a great opportunity to see the latest in kite technology and flying techniques.
