Marriage: the premiere social institution which exists as the basic structure of western culture and family definition. Marriage remains today, as it has for thousands of years, the pinnacle of human relationships; the ultimate testament of love between two people. The institution of marriage however has not been stagnant; it is a dynamic, evolving structure which has changed throughout the eons to adapt to societal values. The debate over what defines a marriage is raging again today; about whether or not the benefits of marriage should be extended to same-sex couples. Given the spirit of equality that this country was founded on, the ideals to which we all aspire to; it is only right and proper that marriage should once again evolve to include same-sex couples. The moralistic "Defense of Marriage" counter-movement is not only morally-indefensible; it will ultimately fall to challenges in our justice system.
The history of marriage dates back to writings in the Old Testament and ancient Egypt, the oldest known writings which indicate of a sworn partnership between two people. For the first few thousand years, marriage represented virtual imprisonment for women in patriarchal societies. During these times, marriage was not so much a partnership as it was man's dominion over women. Marriage represented a man "owning" his wife, as if she were property which existed solely for his benefit. It was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that this antiquated system began to change. Thanks to the Women's Suffrage movement, marriage became less like a dictatorial system and more of a partnership.
At one point in the first half of the twentieth century, 40 states had laws on the books which prohibited the marriage of a person of Caucasian descent to "a person of color." Interracial marriages were deemed to be "immoral and unnatural." The origins of the Civil Rights Movement began with the 1948 California State Supreme Court ruling which declared the ban on interracial marriages to be unconstitutional. This was the first victory in the movement which climaxed with the 1967 US Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia:
So given the context of this historical evolution, is it not reasonable to extend the benefits of marriage once again to same-sex couples? The spirit of the 1967 ruling may well prove to be the legal basis for overturning prohibitions of same-sex marriages. Marriage existing as "one of the basic civil rights of man" should be extended to all persons, regardless of their chosen legal partner. The basic tenant of the ruling is that marriages cannot be prohibited on the basis of traits which are beyond a person's control, such as race or sexual orientation. There are some religious groups which believe that sexual orientation is a choice, however this has been firmly refuted by the American Psychological Association (APA):
So to evaluate the merits of the "Defense of Marriage" arguments, we must first take a look at how "traditional" marriage is faring. Quite poorly is the simple answer. In the last 50 years, the percentage of married-couple households has plummeted from just under 80% to around 50%. At the same time, the number of households headed by unmarried heterosexual couples has skyrocketed, as illustrated by the following charts. In the twenty-five year period from 1977 – 2002, the number of opposite-sex unmarried couples jumped from 1 million all the way to 5 million. While divorce numbers seem to be leveling off, it is the rate of straight couples with children who cohabitate without ever marrying that is alarming.
To evaluate why "traditional" marriage is losing the position it once had, several factors need to be considered. First, marriage in yesteryear was often one of the only ways to ensure financial stability for women and children. However with ever-increasing opportunities for women as well as readily-available education options, women are not forced into marriage solely for financial stability. Second, technology has enabled information to be much more readily available, resulting in younger generations that are much better informed about marriage and what it entails before taking their vows. With better access to education and financial opportunities, many modern committed couples are electing to live together in domestic partnerships without entering into a marriage which many today view as "confining".
So given the facts about traditional marriage, why the crusade to save it? In its current form, is marriage worth saving? Or will the institution of marriage be validated further by extending it to all loving partnerships, regardless of sexual orientation? What exactly is the "Defense of Marriage" campaign trying to defend marriage from? All of these logical questions seemingly go unanswered by this counter-movement.
Many of the arguments which fuel this discrimination are morally subjective and not universally accepted. However, there are many of their arguments which can be refuted logically without straying into the murky realm of religion and morality, which is ambiguous at best. The following paragraphs are an attempt to put to bed some of the myths surrounding same sex-couples.
"Homosexual partnerships don't provide a good atmosphere for raising children." This blatantly discriminatory statement was put to the test in the Hawaii State Supreme Court in Baehr v. Miike. In testimony from numerous witnesses for both the plaintiffs and the defense, the court heard testimony that same-sex partners make equal and in some case superior parents then traditional couples. In evaluations from the children's teachers, the children raised by same sex parents showed no difference from the other children in regard to all relevant issues including intelligence, self-confidence, popularity, etc.
"If same-sex marriage is legalized, you're setting up a slippery slope where the legalization of polygamy, bestiality, and all sorts of other deviant behavior is sure to follow." The "slippery slope" argument is a common argument that has been used for years to prey on the natural fear of the unknown. It is a baseless argument which has no bearing. There has been absolutely no evidence of increased rates of "other deviant behavior" or efforts to legalize said behavior in the countries which have legalized same-sex marriage. Countries such as Canada, Holland, and France have extended the benefits and protections of marriage to all consenting, loving adults and the repercussions often foretold by religious groups having failed to materialize.
"Marriage shouldn't be changed; it has lasted as it is for thousands of years." First, marriage has not gone unchanged for thousands of years, it has changed several times to grow and change with society. As discussed previously, Women's Suffrage and the Civil Rights Movement both fundamentally changed the nature of marriage; so why should homosexual equality be any different? Second, even if marriage had gone unchanged, to assert that it shouldn't be changed just because it is tradition is a logical fallacy; argumentum ad antiquitatem. Just because the institution of marriage is old, does not mean it is perfect. War, bigotry, and slavery all have existed for thousands of years; do they need to be protected from change as well?
What should marriage really be about? Is marriage solely a financially and procreative association? Is it something that should be used to exclude others solely because of prejudice and fear of the unknown? No, that is not what marriage should be. Marriage should represent the ultimate commitment to another human being. Matrimony is a promise to be together through good and bad, enduring all trials, and sharing your love together for your lifetimes. Marriage should remain the pinnacle of our social structures, but it should do so all inclusively. All true love is equal and should be celebrated by all equally, not at the expense of certain groups. So we must ask ourselves, who really gains if the "Defense of Marriage" movement succeeds? The only ones who benefit are those close-minded individuals who wish to remain isolated in their own imagined self-righteousness. The repression of groups based solely on their sexual orientation serves only to profit those who would exclude homosexuals; namely fundamentalist religious organizations. Thus, it is only a manner of time before our society realizes that to subjugate entire classes of people based only on their sexual preference is not only utterly wrong, but completely contrary to the ideals on which our justice system has been built.

Liveblogging Eurovision Pre-Selection
Warning: This post was published more than 9 years ago.
I keep old posts on the site because sometimes it's interesting to read old content. Not everything that is old is bad. Also, I think people might be interested to track how my views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have mellowed and matured!
But given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views might have changed in the 9 years since I wrote this post.
- This post might use language in ways which I would now consider inappropriate or offensive.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken; embedded material might not appear properly.
Many thanks for your understanding.
I'll be liveblogging the Eurovision Preselection thing tonight from 7pm. Hopefully. If I'm home by then. And if that's what time it actually starts – I'm relying on my increasingly frazzled brain to remember.

This seems a css error to me. It certainly does not look good.
Test here: http://ingegno.be/ons-aanbod/
Reduce the width of the browser to see the white field appearing.
Tested this issue on firefox/linux, chrome/chromeOS
Thanks for the report issue. Unfortunately I am out of my desk for 3 days. Will check the issue and fixed when back. Regards
Sorry for late reply,
this is background color issue
you can fixed this by adding custom CSS as following.

Please see the screenshot where to add custom CS
Please let me know for more help.

Like all winter-weary Canadians, I am giddy with joy when summer finally rolls around. I want to dine on every patio, road-trip each weekend and splurge on strappy sandals.
I can't say exactly what it is about the warm weather that makes me want to spend with abandon, but I am certain it is linked to how fleeting, wonderful and, by extension, precious Canadians summers are.
It turns out I am not alone in my seasonal desire to throw financial caution to the wind. Two-thirds of respondents to a recent Toronto-Dominion Canada Trust survey on summer spending said the weather makes them feel happier and more willing to spend money.
Sixty-four per cent said there are so many activities to enjoy in the summer they figure they'll make up the money in the colder months. What are people spending their money on? The survey found that 61 per cent of eat and drink out more often with friends in the summer while 60 per cent take more vacations.
Although it is hardly surprising to hear that people take more holidays - one look around most offices will confirm that - you don't often hear about post-summer financial hangover similar to the one many people experience after Christmas.
But the TD survey of 1,000, conducted online by Environics in late June, found that 50 per cent of Canadians have let their bill payments slip by the wayside as they enjoy the warm weather this year. Thirty-eight per cent have let their budgeting slide while 37 per cent have done the same with their savings.
Raymond Chun, senior vice president at TD Canada Trust, says that while summer is a great time to relax, it does not mean you should "take a vacation from your financial responsibilities."
"If you take a little time to plan ahead and tweak your budget in preparation for your summer spending, you can make the most of the warmer weather without compromising your savings plan."
Mr. Chun offers this mostly common-sense advice on how to enjoy this summer without compromising your savings:
Automate your financial responsibilities Set up pre-authorized transfers to your regular bills and minimum credit card repayments. That way you don't have to worry about interest and fees incurred on forgotten bills while you're out enjoying the summer sun.
Revisit your budget Calculate how much money you earn each month then subtract your expenses, like rent or mortgage repayments, food, utilities, insurance and credit card bills, to understand how much you really have left over. Subtract the amount you want to save every month, and only then do you have a true picture of what you have left for discretionary spending. If you are eating out more in the summer months, try to cut down on spending in other areas to make up the difference.
Don't get carried away with summer spending Look at ways to cut down on unnecessary expenses, but don't deprive yourself or it will be a tough budget to follow. Invite friends over for a backyard barbeque instead of frequenting restaurant patios regularly after work. Canada's summers are beautiful so it's tempting to splurge on summer accessories, but remember you may only get another two months out of a new pair of sandals or summer dress before the cooler weather starts rolling in.
Get any debts under control Review your unpaid bills and debt obligations. If you're low on cash and can't make all your payments then pay the minimum required. High interest debts like credit cards should take priority. At the end of the summer if you're still struggling with your repayments, then think about ways to consolidate and manage your debt.
Start planning now for your next seasonal splurge While enjoying the summer months can be fun, getting yourself into serious credit card debt is not. You need to break the cycle on how you pay for summer activities like vacations and eating out. Start putting aside money in advance for next year's holidays.

First Team News
On This Day: 17 February
Taking a look back at key events that took place on this day in City history.
On this day in 1951 City recorded a 2-0 away win against Coventry City to keep their hopes alive of promotion to the First Division.
Goals from Bill Spurdle and Roy Clarke ensured the Blues would remain four points off the top of the table. The team went on to win promotion by finishing runners-up to Preston North End, who won the title.
On this day in 1998 City were facing relegation to the third tier of English football for the first time in the Club's history.
Manager Frank Clarke was sacked having won just a third of his games in charge. City had a promising start to the season, but a poor run of form saw them slip down the league and Clarke was dismissed after a 1-0 defeat at home to Bury.
On this day in 2012 the City U18s recorded a 4-1 win away to Swindon Town in the FA Youth Cup. Jordi Hiwula, Devante Cole and Adam Drury were on target for City, plus the unfortunate Swinndon defender Aaron Oakley, who scored an own goal. A 40-yard stunner from Robins full-back Robert Murden gave Swindon some consolation.
On this day three years ago the Blues recorded a 4-0 home win against Leeds United in the FA Cup to progress to the sixth round of the competition.
Yaya Toure netted in the fifth minute before Sergio Aguero slotted a penalty away in the 15th minute to double the lead for the Blues.
Carlos Tevez scored in the 52nd minute and Aguero rounded off the rout in the 74th minute.

York University Celebrates 50th Anniversary
1:27pm 12th February 2013
To mark its first half-century, the University is today confering honorary doctorates on David Hockney and four other people who have made outstanding contributions to York and Yorkshire in the last half century.
David Hockney will attend today's event and will join Janet Barnes, Chief Executive Officer of York Museums Trust; Robert Brech, the Chairman of York Science Park; John David, Master Mason of York Minster and Dianne Swiers, Deputy Chief Nurse Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust in receiving 50th Anniversary honorary degrees.
The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Brian Cantor, said: "The University of York is extremely proud of its relationship with this great city and its people. We are starting our 50th anniversary celebrations by formally acknowledging that relationship through this exciting public event in York Minster at which we will confer honorary degrees on five people who have made significant contributions to the advancement of York and Yorkshire.
"The University's success is directly attributable to the hard work and dedication of our founding staff, those pioneering students who chose to come to York in the early 1960s and to all of those who have worked here and supported us since then. We are also enormously grateful for the wide-ranging support of the city of York and its people. We hope very much that many of them will be part of our celebration today and throughout our anniversary year."
Janet Barnes
Janet Barnes is Chief Executive of the York Museums Trust and has been a museum and art gallery professional for over 29 years. Previously Director of the Crafts Council, Janet Barnes has also worked at Sheffield Galleries and Museums.

Dianne Swiers
Dianne Swiers has dedicated her career to the service of NHS staff and patients in Yorkshire. Following her nurse training, she has risen through the ranks to be Deputy Chief Nurse Scarborough and North East Yorkshire Healthcare NHS Trust. She has played a key role in the Trust's merger with York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, leading the integration of nursing and midwifery across both organisations. Dianne Swiers has made a major contribution to the quality of professional education and training at the University of York. She has consistently championed the cause of University-based education for nurses and midwives, actively supporting and promoting programmes provided by the Department of Health Sciences at York. A member of the Department's Strategic Partnership Group, which provides guidance on all aspects of nurse education, she has also played an active role in the development of Nursing and Midwifery curricula, including the new undergraduate degree in nursing at York whose first intake was in October 2011.
"The University's success is attributable to the vision of our founding staff, the spirit of the pioneering students who chose to come to York in the early 1960s, and to the efforts of all those who have worked here and friends who have supported us over the last half century."
The Dean of York, the Very Revd Vivienne Faull, added: "York Minster, which was closely involved in the creation of the University of York, congratulates the University on its success over 50 years and looks forward to supporting its continued development".
The celebration event will include performances of Bruckner, Parry and Vaughan Williams by the staff, students and alumni of the University's Department of Music.

Consumers living in one of the many states that prohibit payday loans should not be offered short term loans. However, a number of unlicensed payday lenders continue to operate within prohibited states, preying upon unwitting consumers in need of fast cash.
PaydayLoan-Lenders.com is committed to stamping out illegal payday lending practices. Our specialist network of payday lenders all operate in strict accordance with state and federal laws.
If you live in a payday loan prohibited state but have taken a payday loan from an unlicensed lender, follow our guide to know what to do about it to protect yourself.
STEP 1: The first thing you should know is that the contract for repayment for the payday loan is not enforceable if you live in a state that prohibits payday loans. However, it is advisable that you repay the principal of the loan (i.e. the exact amount that was paid into your bank account, minus all fees and interest) to avoid the possibility of legal action against you.
STEP 2: Contact your bank and speak with a Relationship Manager to revoke ACH (automatic repayment) authorization for any payday loans that you have. If you have already repaid the principal of the loan, you will need to complete paperwork reporting fraud. Explain to the bank that the lender refuses to stop debiting your account and that you have discovered that this type of loan is illegal in your state of residence.
STEP 3: To further prevent the illegal lenders from accessing your funds, explain to the banker that you would like to close this account and open a new one that is not linked in any way to the old account. If there is a period of overlay during the closing of one account and the opening of another one, ensure that the old account is placed on immediate "deposit only" status.
STEP 4: If your bank resists your requests, simply ask to speak to a more senior member and ensure that your new account is not linked to the old account. Be aware that if the payday lender tries to make further withdrawals after you have followed these previous steps, the bank should indemnify you.
STEP 5: Contact the lender by email and notify them that you have discovered that payday loans are not legal in your state of residence or that the interest rate that applies to the loan is too high based on the law of the state. Check here for the precise parameters of the law so you are clear in the email. Inform the lender that you have revoked ACH authorization.
STEP 6: Also inform the lender of the status of repayments. If you have not yet repaid the principal (i.e. amount that the lender paid into your bank account), tell them that although you are not required by law to do so, that you are willing to repay the principal balance of the loan on your own terms. A prepaid debit card account is a good method to use.
STEP 7: If you have already repaid the principal amount, inform the lender that you will be making no further payments. Tell them to acknowledge your email with a response noting that the account has been paid in full.
STEP 8: If you have overpaid the principal, you must ask the lender for a refund of the overpaid amount. Ask them to send a check to your address but DO NOT pay the check into your new bank account. It is important that you do not give them access to your new account by depositing the check into it. Instead, take the check to a check cashing store and pay the necessary fee.
STEP 9: Finally, file complaints with your state's Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and your state's financial regulatory authority.
Good luck!

Even though your penis has a simple look, it is as complex as any other body part. To understand that first, you need to have an idea on the biological structure of your penis.
Your penis is basically made up of two different parts, which are the shaft and glans that you also call as the penile head. Contrary to the popular belief of penile shaft being a muscle, it is actually made up of three different columns of tissues.
One of these columns of tissues itself continues forward to form your glans or penile head. The rest of the columns form the underside of your penis and the chamber of tissues. Your penile shaft is covered in skin and the glans support loose fold of skin called the foreskin. There is a canal called the urethra that traverses from the base of your penis to its head and is responsible for the passage of urine and sperm.
The Role of Your Testicles in Boosting Your Masculinity
Apart from the ones that have genetic issues, most of the children are born with full set of their reproductive system. However, they are not fully functional then, and they start developing gradually from the onset of puberty.
During puberty (which is usually between 10 to 14 years of age), one's pituitary glans starts secreting hormone. That is responsible for inducing the testicles in order to produce testosterone. You might be already aware of the fact that testosterone is often referred to as the male hormone. The reason being, it is responsible for the development of all those traits that define one as a man. Say, you develop bigger bones, bulkier muscles, and achieve growth in your penis and testicles' size.

How Do You Achieve An Erection?
Most of the other mammals have a special erectile bone that helps them in achieving an erection. However, that is not at all the case with humans. They simply rely on the blood supply to the penile tissues.
When your erection is triggered by some sexual stimulation, the arteries that are responsible for supplying blood to the penis dilate so as to increase the blood flow. Besides, the stiffer tissues play an important role in retaining your erection.
These constrict the veins that can carry the blood away from your penile tissues. Hence, just with proper blood supply to your penis, you can enjoy firmer and longer erections. Now, that you now it, why don't you actually prefer good diet, regular exercising and yoga?
Penis Size And Its Relevance With Other Body Parts
You might have often heard of things like that. Haven't you? There is a widespread myth among people that one's penis size is relevant to his other body parts like the size of his feet, hands, nose, or his overall height. No wonder, people often look at man's finger, nose, height, and try to assume his penis height.
There is no denial in the fact that the same genes as that of the limbs control one's penis development in the embryo. However, that in no way related. Penis development is entirely governed by the testosterone level in one's body, and has nothing do with the other body parts.

In 1997, Episcopal priest Becca Stevens- seeing a great need in her community- opened a home for four female survivors of trafficking, addiction, and prostitution, under the name Magdalene. Today the residential program of Thistle Farms provides housing for up to 32 women and serves hundreds more with advocacy and referral services.
But they didn't stop there. As Thistle Farms takes no money from the state or federal government, they have to sustain themselves. Enter their marketplace: THISTLE FARMS SOCIAL ENTERPRISES.
From their website:
"Thistle Farms's social enterprises employs residents and graduates of the residential program. We operate a natural bath and body product line, the Thistle Stop Cafe, the Studios Workshop and Thistle Farms Global Marketplace. Housed in an 11,000 sq. ft. facility in Nashville, Thistle Farms is a supportive workplace where women acquire the skills they need to earn a living wage. We employ 45-50 residents or graduates, and through our Global partners, another 1,000 women are employed. Half of the leadership team of Thistle Farms are residents and graduates of the program."
The ingredients they use are good for you and therefore safe to use on your skin and in your home (which is like the women coming full circle).
We are always so happy when we find someone making a difference in their community and when we do- we want to share them with you.
They have gifts just for the season and offer both the ability to purchase from store fronts OR via their website. Visit them here: Thistle Farms

I have several website hosting accounts. One of those accounts is a Windows account that allows me to host multiple website (Deluxe Shared Hosting). I have MANY domains hosted on this account and the websites are a mixture of Asp.Net MVC, Asp.Net Webforms (yes...webforms still work :-)) and WordPress sites. I noticed an odd thing happening with the WordPress sites. From time to time, as I was working in the WordPress admin area, the sites would produce a 503 Service Unavailable error. Sometimes I would be editing a menu and click the Update button and would get the error. Sometimes I would make a change and try to visit the site and get the error. Sometimes I would make a theme edit and save and get the error. It happened at very random moments when some action was initiated on the server.
Initially, I thought it was the version of PHP being used for the shared hosting account, so I upgraded to version 5.4 (I was using 5.2). Nope! That did NOT solve the problem at all. OK. What next? I upgraded WordPress for one of the accounts and started hammering it. No resolution! I kept getting the intermittent 503 errors. OK. So now what? Next I started hammering my Asp.Net MVC websites to try to produce the error. Nope! Couldn't reproduce the 503 error on ANY of those sites. I did the same for the Webforms sites and could not reproduce the 503 error there either. So I realized the first fact about this error -
FACT #1 - The 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was ONLY happening on my Windows hosted accounts that had WordPress installed in their folders.
After realizing fact #1, I started to pay very close attention to what was happening when the error happened. I realized something. The error seemed to happen when some function had to be performed - ie. when something had to be saved. It didn't seem to happen on navigation only actions like going from page to page. However, I did notice that if the error happened when I was trying to perform an action in the admin panel, then I would also get the error on the website if I tried to bring that up at that moment. It was like the server was hanging on any server function other than serving pages and would get "stuck" for a few moments. It felt like the request for processing was happening too fast for the server to handle it so it would produce an error. Basically, the request for a function was coming in and being routed, but the underlying process could not move quickly enough to process it.
Since Google is my friend, I started researching the issue. I saw that many people had the 503 error on shared hosting accounts, but no one had a real solution - including the hosting companies! Now I'm no server expert, but this isn't rocket science either. How hard can it be for some of these hosting companies to examine their logs and come up with a solution? Based on what I read, it must be VERY hard for them to do that! Anywho.....I decided to keep researching.
That article gave me some great information. Since the Windows Deluxe shared hosting account allowed me to interact with IIS in a very limited way, I decided to see if I could tweak some settings in their to prevent, help, solve or stop the 503 errors from continuing to happen. By the way, my hosting account is using IIS 7.0. The IIS area provided by the website was very limited. However, it did allow me to switch from Integrated to Classic Pipeline mode. In integrated mode, all requests are handled in a unified pipeline. However, in classic mode, there are two pipelines. One is for native code applications and one is for managed code applications. You can look up the differences between native code and managed code, but essentially managed code needs a runtime to handle its execution. Native code executes on a particular processor and it takes it's instructions on how to run from the OS it is running on.
So, here is what I did. The IIS 7.0 pipeline was set to Integrated mode. I changed this to Classic. Then I recycled the App Pool. The combination of these two things stopped the 503 errors from happening. This should help you get your websites running if you are on a Windows shared hosting account with limited access to IIS. Do not forget to recycle the app pool.
If you are experiencing this issue on your shared Windows hosting account with WordPress, try this and let me know how it works for you.

I've done a little more research into the Elemis balm I literally haven't seen any negative reviews I really must pick this up I'm thinking I may need to reach for a more hydrating cleanser such as this one as my skin is just so dry lately. I was curios about the Balance Me eye cream but think I'll pass I like a hydrating eye cream finding I'm needing more xxReplyDelete

Volunteer Spotlight: Yurie and Jennifer/ Alicia Crawford
Volunteers Lend a Hand to Clean Shorelines in the District
Earlier this year, Potomac Conservancy caught up with two volunteers from Jones Lang LaSalle who got their hands dirty for clean water! Yurie and Jennifer were among 150 volunteers who came out to Teddy Roosevelt Island and Fletcher's Cove in Washington, DC, to help clean up Potomac shorelines. Collectively volunteers removed 4,350 pounds of shoreline litter along the Potomac. That's right, over 2 tons of trash!
The cleanups at Teddy Roosevelt Island and Fletcher's Cove were part of a larger, regional cleanup coordinated by our friends at the Alice Ferguson Foundation. More than 23,800 volunteers were involved, and at day's end, over one million pounds of trash had been collected!
To find other hands-on opportunities to make a difference for clean water in your local community check out our Events Calendar!
Hear what Yurie and Jennifer had to say about their day of service along the Potomac!
Q. How did you hear about the Potomac River cleanup?
Yurie: Jones Lang LaSalle participated in this event last year. We're trying to make it an annual event for all our JLL colleagues.
Jennifer: JLL has become very focused on conservation efforts and being environmentally friendly. We encourage almost every building that we manage to go for LEED certification. So this fits perfectly with JLL.
Q. What was the most interesting thing that you found today?
Yurie: There were a lot of broken glasses, beer bottles. Those are the hard ones to pick up. And a really heavy metal guard rail. We all had to team up to carry it.
Jennifer: I found a child's shovel, which actually helped us dig up a bunch of other stuff. It was a little orange plastic sand castle shovel. We found a big old plastic tub. I think there were five or six of us carrying it.
Q. Did you see any wildlife?
Jennifer: We saw a woodpecker. Lots of ducks. Saw some fish, including some dead ones.
Yurie: And little flowers, which made us really cheery and happy.
Q. Did anything surprise you about being out on the Potomac?
Jennifer: For me, I'm not originally from around here. I'm originally from Kentucky. And I was talking to some of the fishermen around here, and they're telling me all about how the fish are coming in right now and how it's almost like the Atlantic version of the salmon that's coming in for their run. And it was astounding the ecosystems that this river is actually holding up. I wasn't aware of that before.
Q. Why do you think volunteer service is important for our society and local communities?
Jennifer: We want this experience to be around for the next generation and the generation after that. All the kids here are having fun. That's what we want for the future.
Yurie: And we understand the importance of giving back to the community.

Raise your glass to Rebecca: avid paddler, River Center volunteer, and donor!
Just think. The Potomac would be restored with swimmable and fishable waters much sooner if the river had more friends like Rebecca. Hear from her directly and learn what drove her to get involved in the fight for clean water.
Not sure about you, but the doom and gloom from this year's news has us feeling a bit down.
Tired of focusing on what's wrong in the world, we searched for a bit of inspiration. Hear from Katie, our Community Conservation Director, who lifts our spirits with record-breaking results from our glove-wearing, trash-fighting, river-exploring volunteers!
Ever wonder how a small, local non-profit hosts 1000+ volunteers and paddlers a year? Find out who's behind the scenes, partnering with us for a healthy and restored Potomac, and giving volunteers memories that last a lifetime.
P.S. If you're looking for good companies to support this holiday season, this is a cheat sheet!

For the first six weeks of the (twelve week) semester students are given weekly 'sketch' video tasks to complete. All are identical in their technical requirements but themes vary. They begin simply and progressively become more abstract. This helps students develop their ability to think about what they make and to shift their practice as media practitioners away from their fetishisation of industrial media.
I do not assess the sketch films. They are critiqued in class, which when done well becomes a powerful motivator for them to do the work, and the individual clips also provide the media library for their Sketch Film, but individual clips I leave be. Perhaps surprisingly most of the students all of them, and when I stop providing weekly tasks many complain. The rhythm of making, of thinking about the weekly prompts and responding is something they come to enjoy a lot. I think, but aren't certain, that this sort of buy in occurs because we spend a lot of class time talking about why, answering questions why, and I have plenty of answers to these questions. I also think the in class critique helps an enormous amount as they develop ways to think critically about their work and this helps wean them from needing teacherly endorsement or external measures to finding value in their work themselves. Finally, I like making stuff, I think everyone does, and the weekly clips introduces the sort of constant making that we all did in kindergarten and primary school where learning was also a making. Learning through doing is very rich, multimodal, and pleasurable.
Technically each sketch film is:
- 30 seconds in length
- available as H.264 video
- either 4:3 or 16:9 in aspect ratio (depends on the hardware the students choose to use)
- published on their blog, whether through a video hosting service or not doesn't matter – as long as they can access appropriate copies of the material for reuse later
Weekly Tasks (2012)
- Make a 30 second film using round things in your house
- Make a 30 second film using square things in your house
- Make a 30 second film using blue things that you like (things that are blue, not things that make you feel blue)
- Make a 30 second film using red things that you like
- Make a 30 second film using yellow things that you like
- Make a 30 second film about travelling towards a place
- Make a 30 second film about travelling away from a place
- Make a 30 second film about being somewhere
- Make a 30 second film about how it feels to be 'outside'
- Make a 30 second film about how it feels to be 'inside'
- Make a 30 second film about how it feels to be 'between'
- Make a 30 second film that describes your family, but you cannot show anyone
- Make a 30 second film that describes you, but you cannot show yourself
- Make a 30 second film using or being 'things that quicken your heart'
- Make a 30 second film using or being 'small things that are worth noticing'
Students are invited to write individual blog posts that link to their films briefly discussing which they think is the best, and why.
By having so many pieces of work made in such a short time students are forced to work in agile, creative, sketch like ways.
Some students bring professional production values to bear on these tasks as they believe this is the only way that media making can be legitimate or authentic. For those that are insistent about this idea of 'quality' a lot of pre and post production is undertaken for each clip. This might include the use of friends or family as cast, special effects and/or a lot of editing and sound production. This rapidly proves to be unsustainable as as one of the aims of the subject is to explore the implications of having ready to hand video making tools literally in your pocket, these students are forced to let go of what they come to realise is an unfounded bias towards high end 'production values' in their work.
The increasing abstraction of the tasks scaffolds the imperative, delivered via the teaching, to try different things and to take risks and be experimental.
The tasks begin in a concrete way concentrating on simple objects and colours, moving through to ideas and experiences. Since film and video is a concrete medium (you always have to film some thing) attempting to translate an experience or idea into something filmable is difficult. This helps recognise this concrete condition of film making, providing an opportunity to test this. The role of the in class critique (which users a variation of de Bono's hat model) is important as it enables a language through which they can talk and write critically to their own work.
Each work is small enough that if it is an aesthetic failure there is opportunity to make another (as they are so short and quick to make), or just try again next week.
Some weeks students simply do not have time, or find an idea worth making. I want them to experience this. To learn that good work is not a case of waiting around for an epiphany of inspiration to arrive but is based on habits of regular making. You just do and keep on doing. That's how it happens. I want them to see how the quality of what they make varies, so video making no longer needs to be invested in the risks of monument making (the great big project) where failure can be catastrophic, and can be succesful, viable and possible as a sketch like making of small parts. When they are small parts some might not be great. Perhaps they should be removed, perhaps kept. In either case the cost of this decision is small. This is, of course, the logic of industrial media writ small, with an emphasis on minor modes of making inflecting new forms.
Students need to work quickly to be able to make so many clips, therefore the differences between the works comes to matter as much or more than the individual works themselves.
In online environments serialisation and its avatars count for a lot. A blog gains its texture from smaller parts that appear over time. Flickr works because of the new connections made between otherwise discrete things. One photo is only that, collect them into a set and then it becomes individual photos and the relations between. Relations and the idea of what is between becomes a powerful definition of what a network specific media practice involves and what a Korsakow film is. This is also a feature of being network literate.
