Finally Coming Back w/ a Post
>> Monday, March 2, 2009
Its been some time that I have written a post in this blog, but finally I decided to do some posting in this blog. Recently its really been quite busy for me in real life, hospital stuff and other stuff. Aside from the recent busy trend, I always take a glimpse at the street sights which I usually observed when I travel from the house to the hospital and vice versa. Its usually a great scenic view but sometimes I m distracted with sights of garbage being littered around.
Since the dawn of industrialization, garbage have mounted to increasing amounts which have left our precious world polluted. With this problem, waste management has been a top priority to minimize waste and garbage from growing. Different schemes have been invented and implemented to address this growing threat. Countries around the Philippines are also showing off with how they manage this ecological threat. Waste management Sydney have shown a great way in dealing with waste, making it up ahead in dealing and controlling waste and garbage. Hopefully in the near future, the garbage and waste that I usually see along the road will be cleared and won't ever cross my eyes again.

Entrepreneur Bryan Goldberg penned a surprisingly unpleasant item about San Francisco, crafted "satirically" as a dressing down of the tech workers moving in and driving rents up. Is it ever funny when power punches down? Not today...
By making a high wage at a young age, you are pushing real and honest San Franciscans out of the housing market. Sure, you make less money than some electricians or restaurant managers, but those guys have families to support, and they pay attention to their savings and retirement. So, when you recklessly spend $3,400/month on your apartment, it is crowding out the people who are far more thoughtful about their finances. People with real responsibilities. People with families.
Did you know that those guys had two kids when they were your age? That is how things are supposed to work. Who do you think you are being unmarried for most of your 20s? No kids until you and your future wife have been married for five years? Is that a joke? What the hell is wrong with you?
It seems almost too stupid to be real, and there's already plenty of cringing disgust going around for Goldberg and his enablers. So I instead set about trying to imagine: what would a successful satire of San Francisco's natives look like? Times are still quite hard, though, and I didn't get very far. But I'm pretty sure that such a thing wouldn't involve quite so much stuff about people's children and families.

here's the deal . . .
Just wanted to clear up some confusion on Fwankwin's post re: Gracie's destructive tendencies. Yes, it is indeed a scratching box which means it is made for scratching. What our crazy little sisfur does is bite/chew things to death. Biting a scratching box makes it unusable much faster. This upsets Twizzy & Fwankwin 'cause they actually use the scratching box for it's intended purpose . . . if it's "bwoken", they hafta wait for our momma to go buy a new one. (Sometimes she's kind'a lazy 'bout that . . . )
So anyhoo, that's the "issue" . . . don't know why the other guys don't just tear-up the carpet like I do - keeps things much simpler! >^..^<

The British and Irish Lions hit top form in South Africa after roaring to a 74-10 win against the Golden Lions.
It was the second match of the tour and after a stumbling start in the team's first game, this was much better.
The British Lions bagged 10 tries as they continued to get ready for the first of three Test matches against South Africa on 20 June.
Jamie Roberts, Ugo Monye and Tommy Bowe all scored two tries in the win, and Stephen Jones kicked 18 points.
The British Lions are expected to win the early matches on the tour, but perhaps not by so many points.
Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll was the captain for the match, and he played brilliantly, setting up the first try and scoring the second himself.
It was a much happier appearance for O'Driscoll than the last time he pulled on a Lions shirt in New Zealand four years' ago.
That was in the first Test against the All Blacks, and the Irish star was injured and forced out of the tour by a horror tackle after only one minute of the game.

Steven Spielberg's film about a President seems to be everywhere right now. My bride and I saw it on our anniversary. We enjoyed it and appreciated it fully.
And critics are saying it's his finest.
It isn't.
His OTHER film about a President is his finest. What other film?
Amistad. The White House resident was former President John Quincy Adams, not Abraham Lincoln.
The story line was equally compelling: free men and the curse of slavery. One line however, sticks out in the film like a sore thumb:
"There's nothing so pathetic as an ex-President."
And though written about an ex-President who was then-serving 18 years in the US Congress, the attempt by the screenplay writer may just support some public perceptions of ex-Presidents.
But not all former presidents are treated that way. Who, for instance?
These are the men struck down in death, forever to wear the title of President. These are not the men who retired home (or were sent home) by the people of the US at the termination of their term.
These are the men assasinated.
And there seems to be an axiom that follows their deaths:
"There is nothing so majestic as an assassinated President."
And JFK's post-life life may bear witness to that revised axiom.
America has lived through the post-November 22nd, 1963 national heart attack in every possible way imaginable:
- The very Presidents who followed Kennedy's death each were selected/elected because of his absence. Had he lived many of these men would never have been chosen.
- The fiscal policies he supported were eventually rejected (or forgotten) by his own political party.
- The ever-present "youth" image he radiated became an obsession in America. He was never allowed to grow older - and many Americans failed to successfully embrace their own life-season changes. Adolescence just got grayer.
- The military's roots would not have gone as deeply into our economy as they have.
- Our foreign policy may have stayed somewhat the same, but key aspects of Middle East policy regarding Israel would be sacrosanct.
- Kennedy's adulterous liaisons, once unfurled for the world in his own life-time, would have damaged the presidency and his own reputation in a way similar to Nixon's Watergate problems. Most likely it would have happened in his time as an ex-President.
So, five decades with and without JFK have produced a million "what ifs" in a generation that itself is passing away. Fathers who shielded their children at the grassy knoll in Dallas are mostly all gone. Parents who sat non-stop with their families in front of black-and-white TV sets are almost all gone, as well - to meet their Creator. JFK's own son has been dead for almost a decade and a half.
The children and teens of that generation's parents are now grandparents, looking on images of a youthful President Kennedy and seeing something of their own youth... and its vanishing away.
The generation that was deeply impacted by his death will soon pass away.
Yet, President Kennedy's impact remains.
And the younger generations of Americans will continue to be impacted by many policies that were initiated as a result of his death by those many now-ex Presidents who followed him.

Arizona Trail
Many segments of the 817-mile Arizona Trail, spanning the state from Mexico to Utah, are open to mountain bikers. A stretch near Colossal Cave Mountain Park southeast of Tucson serves up rolling desert and high-horizon views of the Rincon Mountains.
Granite Basin
Single-track loop routes wend their way through woodland terrain in the Granite Basin area northwest of Prescott. Climbs, big-whoop downhills and surrounding geologic splendor make this a prime place for pedalers.
Flagstaff trails
Back roads and trails in the mountains just north of Flagstaff offer everything from an easy coast to don't-even-think-about-it. The popular Schultz Creek Trail is a super-scenic single track along a winding watercourse.
Starr Pass
A rich mix of terrain and a loop-route configuration draw riders of all skill levels to this area of Tucson Mountain Park. Challenges include rocky surfaces and cacti hemming some trail segments.
Sedona trails
Single-track trails take riders into the heart of red-rock splendor at several sites near town. Schnebly Hill Road east of Sedona and nearby trails offer more rides with ooh-aah views.

Explore the role of temperature in the rate of diffusion of a substance. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out from its origin. Molecules diffuse through random molecular motion. Diffusion is always happening, even when a system appears to have reached equilibrium, because molecules are always moving. When molecules are heated, they move faster.

18th Arrondissement Vacation Packages
For a real insiders view of Paris, spread your wings and explore surrounding areas like Montmartre, Saint-Ouen, and 19th Arrondissement.
Travelers come from near and far to see the Eiffel Tower, one of the most iconic attractions in the country. It is only 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the city center.
There is a lot to see and do in Paris's city center, so make sure you explore some of the other highlights, including the Arc de Triomphe and Louvre Museum.
18th Arrondissement has plenty of museums and theaters nearby that allow visitors to really get a feel for the area. Wander through the exhibits and savor the atmosphere of the Musee Nissim de Camondo, the Musee de Montmartre and the Pinacotheque de Paris. To experience the city's dynamic artistic culture, book a show at one of the much-loved performance venues such as Paris Opera, Folies Bergere and Paris Olympia.
If the weather is good get outdoors and appreciate the nearby green spaces. If you want to rest a while in a green urban park visit Parc Monceau and the Parc des Buttes Chaumont.
See what is in fashion locally and do some people-watching at popular nearby malls and markets such as Galeries Lafayette, the Printemps Department Store and Passage Verdeau.
To really get to know this fascinating part of the world, think about booking your accommodation at one of the area's hotel or serviced apartment options. Check out the rooms and rates at the Concorde Opéra Paris, the Hôtel Pavillon Opéra, or the Mercure Paris Montmartre Sacré Coeur.

SCHOOLCHILDREN were treated to the wonders of science as part of a explosive live show last week at Bradon Forest School.
The Wow Show was organised by the school's Science Department and taught guest primary school pupils about harnessing energy using experiments too dangerous for the classroom.
Pupils from several schools that included Catherine Wayte, Haydon Leigh and Haydon Wick, enjoyed several lively demonstrations that included fire and explosions.
A spokesman for Bradon Forest, Jennifer Purcell, said: "The audiences have really enjoyed the shows, of which we've had four in two days. The reactions have been electric and there's been a real buzz in the school theatre. We hope that the pupils come away with a passion for finding out how things work."

Twilight Premieres In London
Breaking Dawn Part 2 Hits The UK
If there's a ringing in your ears this morning, it may be from the high-pitched screams that dominated London last night as The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiered in Leicester Square. And yes, the stars were in town and the fans were at fever-pitch.
As you will all know, this is the finale of the entire sparkly vampire saga, with Robert Pattinson's Edward and Kristen Stewart's Bella all set to live happily ever after until vampire's ruling Volturi cabal come after them and their daughter, Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy).
The stars were in good form last night, with Pattinson in particular joking with the crowd ("I don't understand what kind of mental disorder you have!") and fellow Brit vampire MyAnna Buring looking stunning in blue. The film screened against three different cinemas on the square, and there still wasn't enough room for the thousands of fans who had been camped out for days in advance.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 hits cinemas on November 16 or, as it's also known, tomorrow.

Holly Madison: On My Baby's Name
Holly Madison is defending her daughter's unusual name.
Following the announcement that she has chosen the name Rainbow Aurora for her newborn, the 33-year-old mom took to her Celebuzz blog to explain her decision.
She wrote:
I got my nails done Rainbow colors to celebrate my new daughter's name!
I have always loved the name Rainbow. There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I'm not worried about my daughter being "traumatized" by having an unusual name.
I couldn't be more blessed to have such a perfect daughter and have never been happier than I am now!

The Oregon State Beavers (2-9, 0-8) will battle the Oregon Ducks (8-3, 6-2), currently ranked #23 in the CFP rankings and #18 in the AP poll, in the latest edition of the Civil War rivalry Friday afternoon. The Ducks have taken the last seven meetings, including a 47-19 rout as a 21 point favorite on the road in Corvallis on November 29, 2014 in the most recent matchup.
Oregon State has dropped eight straight after they were clobbered 52-7 at home by Washington Saturday. Oregon picked up their fifth straight win with a 48-28 home win over #24 USC Saturday. Kickoff from Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon is scheduled for 3:30 pm ET and will not be nationally televised. Oregon is currently favored by 34.5 points with the over/under set at 68.5 points in this contest.
Oregon State was no match for Washington as they were held to 13 points or less for the sixth time this season. The Beavers were down 28-0 after one quarter and 45-0 at the half; the game was over early. Oregon State was outgained 482-255, gave up 28 first downs while recording only eight of their own and was destroyed in time of possession as the Huskies held the ball for 41:22 to the Beavers' 18:38 in the game. The Beavers turned the ball over twice in the game and allowed an 89 yard punt return for a score in the game.
The Beavers have issues moving the ball through the air as they are 117th in the nation in passing offense (155.5 yards) while they are 63rd in rushing offense (172.5 yards) per game on the year. Oregon State averages a meager 16.9 points per game, which leaves them tied for 116th in the nation in scoring offense while they are currently 108th in the nation in scoring defense by allowing opponents to pile up 35.6 points per contest. Two freshman quarterbacks have seen action for Oregon State: Seth Collins (81 of 156, 890 yards, 6 TD, 4 INT, team leading 536 rushing yards, 5 TD) has seen the majority of the action while Marcus McMaryion (16 of 46, 249 yards, TD, 2 INT) is next in line should a change be made. Nick Mitchell has completed 51 of 113 passes for 571 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions in his work. Storm Barrs-Woods is the feature back in the system for Oregon State as he has 99 carries for 491 yards and a score; Ryan Nall has contributed 54 carries for 281 yards and two scores on the year. Victor Bolden leads the Beavers with 43 receptions for 418 yards and three scores while Jordan Villamin has added 39 receptions for 588 yards and five touchdowns. Datrin Guyton (14 grabs, 178 yards), Hunter Jarmon (16 catches, 177 yards, TD) and Barrs-Woods (12 catches out of the backfield) are the other players that have caught double digit passes this season. Garrett Owens has kicked all 17 extra points and 11 of 15 field goal attempts this season with a long of 50 yards.
Oregon jumped to a 31-14 halftime lead against the Trojans and held USC at arm's length the rest of the way to continue their win streak. The Ducks outgained the Trojans 578-424, won the first down battle 28-24 and made up for the time of possession loss where they allowed USC to hold the ball for 34:54 to their 25:06 in the game. Both teams committed one turnover in the game but the Ducks have done more with less on a regular basis. One has to wonder if Oregon would be in the CFP playoff rankings had Vernon Adams Jr. not been down with injury earlier in the season.
The Ducks are just 42nd in passing offense (250.8 yards) but they are having great success on the ground as they are 5th in the nation with 285.9 yards per contest. Oregon puts up 42.2 points per game, which is tied for 6th in the nation, but they are only 112th in the nation in scoring defense as the Ducks are allowing 36.3 points a game. Vernon Adams Jr. was the starter before getting hurt; he's 127 of 202 for 2,078 yards with 22 touchdowns and six picks while running for 123 yards plus two scores. Jeff Lockie (54 of 84, 544 yards, 5 TD, 4 INT, 109 rushing yards) and Taylor Alie (6 of 14, 96 yards, TD, 142 rushing yards, 3 TD) took turns running the show with Adams out but he's back in the mix now. The run game is centered around Royce Freeman (230 carries, 1539 yards, 12 TD) and Taj Griffin (64 carries, 464 yards, two scores) as they average 6.1 yards per carry as a team. Bralon Addison leads the team with 50 receptions for 669 yards and seven scores; Freeman has 21 grabs out of the backfield while Charles Nelson has 14 catches for 243 yards and three scores. Dwayne Stanford (22 receptions, 354 yards, 5 TD) and Darren Carrington (20 catches, 464 yards, 5 TD) are other options in the passing game. Aidan Schneider has hit all 55 extra points and 19 of 20 field goal attempts this season with a long of 41 yards.
Oregon is 7-0 ATS in their last seven in November, 4-1 ATS in their last five after picking up at least 450 yards of offense, 16-5 ATS in their last 21 overall and 20-8-2 ATS in their last 30 at home against teams with a losing road record. Oregon State is 1-6 ATS in their last seven after a straight up loss, 1-6 ATS in their last seven on the road, 0-4 ATS in their last four after a double digit loss at home and 0-5 ATS in their last five in November.
The Beavers are glad to see that their season is just about over as this one has been a trying experience with trying to find a capable starter among their trio of freshmen quarterbacks. Oregon has been rolling with Adams Jr. back in the driver's seat of the Blur offense. The Ducks should have little trouble dispatching the Beavers and winning their sixth straight game.

An Open Letter to Mayor Richard M. Daley
Dear Mayor Daley,
I've seen some idiotic pronouncements over the years. "The insurgency is in its last throes," "The Segway will change everything," "Ladies and Gentlemen – Britney Spears!" Among the consolations of middle age is the realization that the worst-laid plans of mice and men at least occasionally go astray.
Still, you've really outdone yourself. Even a jaded academic like myself stands awestruck.
According to this article in the Chicago Sun-Times, you've decided to address head-on the real reason for tuition inflation at colleges and universities:
"They should cut half the courses. It would cut down the cost tremendously. What are the basic courses that you need in college? Cut some of the unnecessary courses out..."
Of course! That's the problem! Sometimes it takes an outsider to notice the obvious.
For example, twenty years ago, tuition/room/board at my alma mater was $20,000 a year. Now it's almost $50,000 a year. How do we explain this rapid increase? Clearly, the shift from "four years to graduate" to "four years to graduate" is to blame.
Silly us. We've been spending all this time and energy trying to explain variables by looking at things that vary – you know, like declining levels of public support for public colleges, or increased costs for health insurance and HVAC, or the need to keep up with current technology in the fields we teach. You've taken the opposite tack – explain drastic change by looking at things that haven't changed at all. It's almost Zen in its simplicity.
I'll tell you what. Why don't you drop by and explain to my faculty senate just exactly which courses are unnecessary? Surely, a man of your high office wouldn't pop off like that without knowing specifics. Just off the top of my head, take English. Most of our students are already fluent! Obviously, this is dreadful waste. Besides, who really needs communication skills? After all, it's not like we have a service economy or any such thing.
Or maybe it's the expensive high-tech stuff you have in mind. Who needs it? Let the Japanese own the tech sector; they're better at it anyway! After all, if students graduate with less debt, they won't need good-paying jobs in the first place. It's the circle of life.
Maybe we could just get rid of all those business majors. Let the kids learn on the job! Who needs "accountants," anyway? It's only money. Besides, Worldcom had accountants, and look what happened to them! Besides, if the kids won't be qualified for good-paying jobs, they won't have to worry their silly little heads about 401(k)'s or returns on investment. Why burden them with information they won't need?
And don't even get me started on Nursing programs! At the rate at which health insurance is hollowing out and leaving most Americans utterly unprotected even with insurance, soon most people won't be able to afford medical care anyway. Why prepare students for a profession on the way out? Better to create useful, short-term certification programs in, say, grief counseling.
Mayor Daley, I stand in awe of your self-confidence. Truly, it takes what we, in a less enlightened time, used to call balls of steel to spout such verbal antimatter around journalists, some of whom actually write down what you say. Of course, about half of what you say is probably unnecessary. If you like, I'd be happy to tell you which half.
Dean Dad
Now-a-days those of us striving for genderless correctness in all things say 'nads', as in 'got a lot of nads, that one'.
Although I think I know what his answers would be. All the courses taught by the liberal pinkos that are intent on brainwashing our little babies.
I eagerly await your guest appearance on The Daily Show or Countdown.
On the engineering side, I'd ask Hizzoner which he would rather omit from the civil engineering curriculum, sewage or bridge engineering?
Serious question: if you look at a course catalog today, does it have more courses than it did 20 years ago?
I make a distinction between disciplines and courses; it's my very uninformed impression that in many of the humanities disciplines, there are many more courses than there were in the past.
Mayor Daley reveals the depths of his DePaul education, perhaps? Yep, that private school privilege comes in handy when trying to cut public school funding even further.
A few responses, beginning with the fact that the number of courses that run in a given semester is entirely a question of supply and demand, i.e., that if students don't fill the courses, then those courses don't run. Moreover, enrollments at universities have increased in the past 20 years. Take those two things together, and there may need to be more courses in order to satisfy student demand. With less rigid curriculum requirements at many universities, that also opens up more room for a greater diversity of course offerings. Is that really a bad thing? Thus customers - woops, I mean students - seem to be on board with this and to appreciate it.
Second, number of courses on the books in a catalog does not necessarily reflect number of courses regularly taught. Many departments have a dead weight curriculum, which reflects retirements among other things, and so even if it seems like there are more courses, there may not necessarily be more courses that students actually take. You may wonder why departments don't remove those courses from the books. Well, at my institution it's partly because when you take a course off the books you lose the number for something like 5 years, and so it's better to leave courses on the books than to take them off and risk not having enough numbers for the number of courses that need to be offered for a five year period.
Finally, isn't the point of scholarship generally that people will gain more knowledge, greater insights, new perspectives, whether on old material or new material? Wouldn't it make sense that, for example, an English curriculum would need to expand to include, I don't know, writers/perspectives beyond those who were taught 50 years ago? Do people really think that the humanities are unchanging and that our curricula never need to change? Really?
I wasn't even going to read the article, because I enjoyed the DD snark and figured I'd just get aggravated. I did read it though, and thought this line was equally funny in contrast to his "plan": "The American dream is to get a good quality education." (this is another direct quote).
What wasn't clear to me from your post, DD, is that he's actually suggesting 2 year degrees, rather than 4 year degrees, so the requirements for graduation are halved, not (necessarily) the number of courses offered. And, I'm not saying this reading is better (I don't think it is), but I do agree with him when he argues that the standards for employment are artificially inflated -- i.e., you need a BA to do work for which you really don't need BA-level skills. And it sort of pains me to agree with him about anything, even if only a little bit.
You're great, but you're also taking Mayor Daley more seriously than most of us in Chicago do. He's not a smart guy, but he's clever and wily---a political survivor. I personally don't listen to Daley unless his latest pronouncement involves taxes or the Chicago Transit Authority. Period.
Anyway, treat the man like the rest of us Chicagoans do: as entertainment!
Except, well, that's not what he said. I think it might be what he *meant* but that's only after scrutinizing his rhetoric.
Is this what our country has come to? Our politicians are so completely ignorant and inarticulate that we have to GUESS what they mean because they say something so completely ludicrous that we are left thinking 1/ they are lunatics (potentially dangerously so), or 2/ complete morons whose speeches we have to parse for meaning (and probably should be afraid they got elected).
When I was teaching writing to undergrads, they would made these sorts of mis-statements all the time. If Daley is an example of what a 4-year degree can produce, maybe the system needs to add MORE YEARS to earn a degree instead of removing some.
What irritates me most though is that Daley missed an opportunity to openly support and encourage the community college experience as a viable and important alternative to what people see as the typical college experience [of the 4-year-school variety].
Instead of saying "cut half the courses," he could have said that the A.A. from a community college should be what many students choose post-high school, and that employers [and the larger society] should encourage this as a viable alternative for many students.
Now *THAT* would have been nice. But it's not what we got.
I laughed my rear end off! Just because politicians have (presumably) been to school doesn't mean they know how to run one. I've been in a garage....doesn't make me a car!
Huzzahs to you, DD for calling BS when you see it. We, as a society, need to lighten up and do more of the same.
I'm from New Zealand, and started my first year law intermediate aged 17 3/4. It's entirely possible to graduate the four year degree, 3 month professionals course and start practising law here at age 22, although you can't go into practice on your own account for another two years after that.
England and Wales you can do a 3 year Law degree, a 1 year bar course and qualify in 4 years.
Or a 3 year general degree, 1 year law conversion course 1 year bar course and qualify in 5 years.
In New Zealand our general undergraduate degrees are 3 years, some professional degrees - e.g. Engineering, Speech Therapy are 4.
Medicine is 6 - an intermediate year, then 2 pre-clinical, 2 clinical and an internship. NZ doctors find it very easy to get work all round the world (so much so, that there's a shortage back home).
I've heard that the that US schools may not have proper science labs as it's assumed that that will be picked up in college. So it may be we expect General Education requirements to be covered in Secondary School. I'll leave it up to US citizens to comment on that one.
Having had a "tour" of 4 schools for one HS Diploma I can bear witness to the truth of the above comment. Yet, I am sure some of my tireless long-lost educators of yore would not take joy in hearing the nation to tell them to "kick it up a notch (or 28)." The shame is that someone along the assembly line needs it.
Additionally, from having been in the Chicago Public school system for 3 consecutive years prior to that, I can personally say that outside districts were quite fearful of "overwhelming" a student from CPS with their curriculum regardless of 99th percentile test scores.
I may have not read all of the comments above thoroughly enough to avoid repetition. That said, Missles (or Minnows) away...
As a near-recent student to that system, I'll put my 2 pennies towards suggesting ground-up improvement rather than Daley cutting the graduate cap from a student's head to look inside and see what is fit to be jettisoned. Of course, how much should you be able to justify in the institution's deficiencies when the largest public campaign is the annual end-of-summer "Please show up for the first day" cry backed by the Bud Billiken Parade?
To add small note, while I may graduate with a baccalaureate degree in the near future, the inferiority struck into the minds of CPS'ers like myself will have me (hopefully others as well) seeking more maths and sciences for the rest of my life . End goal? To finally feel "caught up" with development of the rest of the world so as to be able to operate and even understand any of the Big Ideas to Come or those already had.

Chris Klein Spoofs His Own Terrible Audition
You know what would be a kind of ironic and unexpected result of that leaked Chris Klein audition tape that we posted a week ago? That it would eventually result in him getting more work. The blogosphere pissed itself with laughter at Klein's terribly douchey audition tape for "Mamma Mia!" but the essentially out-of-work actor has responded in the best way possible — spoofing himself in a Funny or Die video. And to be honest, the dude is actually very funny. [Funny Or Die]

In late 2011, I was watching BBB Channel 12/Oak Ridge's Ciderville Farm and Home Show. It's a weekly show that airs every Saturday at 7:30 PM with live local music and old-fashioned comedy. On this particular night, one of the show's guests was Wendy Crowe, a singer/songwriter who also plays in the duo, Westwend, with Jonathan Maness. In this interview we discuss her upcoming solo CD, as well as her work with Westwend. Westwend is playing a few dates in North Carolina this weekend–on Friday at Twigs in Blowing Rock, NC and on Saturday at Banner Elk Cafe in Banner Elk, NC.
Tim O'Shea: How young were you when you first realized you wanted to be a singer/songwriter?
Wendy Crowe: I've always loved to sing, and I would pretend I was on stage every chance I got. However, it was about 6th grade that I really started practicing my writing. I had this teacher, Mrs. Morgan, who loved the arts as much as I did, so we were always singing and doing musicals. She helped me realize that you have to do what you loved.
