Alternative programming: Return of the fanboys
Everyone has probably watched the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens at least once since Friday, and we're sure there are varied opinions about whether or not it honors the style and legacy of the biggest franchise in all of media. We thought this would be a great opportunity to highlight a film in our collection about the people who feel very, very strongly about the future of Star Wars.
The People vs. George Lucas (HU DVD 10241) is a documentary that captures the incredibly tense dynamic between Star Wars fans (who love the series) and Lucasfilm (which owns the series). The Star Wars prequel film trilogy was highly negatively received by fans of the series, sparking what amounts to a culture war between its diehard supporters and its creators. The People vs. George Lucas examines this conflict and wades into the messy debate over the spiritual ownership of art that becomes asocial phenomenon. It's certainly the most insightful and complete work about fan culture and backlash.
Give it a watch to prepare yourself for the inevitable grumbling that'll happen over that new, crazy three-pointed lightsaber. Some people are heavily invested in this franchise, and The People vs. George Lucas argues that they might really deserve a stake.

At last, Fandor is the Netflix alternative for film buffs
a subscription to Fandor.
Essentially, Fandor is a new Netflix-style service that only includes expert-curated collections of art films and unusual gems. You won't find Iron Man on Fandor, but their staff make a point of finding deep cuts with critical acclaim. Many of these films might be available on other services, but the curation aspect is probably the most exciting. Flipping through the sci-fi category, for example, you'll find German spacefaring comedy Interkosmos and ultra-violent dystopian brawler Riki-Oh. These are some really unique selections that you won't find on, say, Hulu.
We don't want to this to be an outright advertisement for Fandor, but it's a terrific idea for cinephiles. Plus, the site includes the handy option to gift membership. Keep this one in your back pocket for your end-of-the-year shopping...

Who was Marion Barry? This HBO documentary is a good primer
Today marked the passing of Marion Barry, DC political legend and one of the country's most controversial mayors. To describe his decades of public involvement as tumultuous would be an understatement; Barry weathered multiple scandals and a high-profile arrest yet remained enormously popular among his constituents, serving four non-consecutive terms and continuing to serve as a councilman afterwards. His supporters said he fought hard for marginalized people in DC; detractors accused him of corruption and incompetence.
Suffice to say, Barry has a very interesting and complicated career, one that probably doesn't make much sense to anyone new to the DC area. If you're looking for a primer on Barry's history and legacy, we recommend watching The Nine Lives of Marion Barry (DVD 9730), an HBO-distributed documentary about the former mayor's highly elastic career. Barry was, for better or for worse, an irreplaceable politician, and we're glad that there's a comprehensive and even-handed documentary about his life.

The many works of Mike Nichols, EGOTer and prolific director
EGOT-winning director of The Graduate, died yesterday at age 83. For an acclaimed and decorated filmmaker, Nichols kept a comparatively low profile in the entertainment world, but he leaves behind an impressive lineup of truly great films and television productions, including Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Primary Colors, Working Girl, Angels in America, The Birdcage, and Charlie Wilson's War. The director got his start in entertainment as an improv comedian, but in future years, he will be remembered best for his consistent and varied filmography. It's quite an accomplishment that in his 40 years directing films, every single one was a winner.
Chances are that you've watched and enjoyed something by Mike Nichols, so in recognition of his career, we took the opportunity to look up the rest his directorial work. If you've ever been curious about his work or simply wanted a new director to get into, now is the right time to watch his films.

Films on Demand gets bigger. Try the new content, send us your feedback!
We've previously talked about Films on Demand, a streaming video database we subscribe to that contains thousands of documentaries on seemingly every subject. Although a few of them come from big distributors like Discovery or History, they're mostly smaller affairs. Color us excited that Films on Demand is expanding its offerings to include feature films – and, most notably, the Eyes on the Prize documentary series.
Firstly, Films on Demand has offered us a trial of their new World Cinema database. It includes works by major directors from the earlier days of film, including Kurosawa, Eisenstein, Hitchcock, Chaplin, and more. We haven't yet committed to subscribing to the full version of this database, but it is by far one of the biggest and most substantive we've ever taken a look at. Please take a look at what it has to offer, and if you can see yourself using it in the future, please email your thoughts to our Media Librarian Chris Lewis (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Secondly, and perhaps most excitingly to our many faculty members who use the series, PBS's Eyes on the Prize is now available in its entirety through the main Films on Demand database. Eyes on the Prize is the definitive documentary about the civil rights movement, and its fourteen parts are frequently used for history courses. Eyes on the Prize has been borderline out-of-print for many years, and its release on streaming platforms is enormously exciting given its previous troubled release history.
These are both big additions from Films on Demand, and we can't wait to see what they have in store next. It's hard to beat It's a Wonderful Life and His Girl Friday on demand, though.

Be an extra on House of Cards... TOMORROW!
Time for a quick dispatch on the DC film front: House of Cards will be shooting in DC tomorrow, and they're looking for extras!
We got this news very last-minute, so we'll keep this brief. DC's local film office says that if you think you fit the profile of a "Mid-Westerner" and want to appear as an extra:
Please e-mail email@example.com, filming starts tomorrow, so you'll want to move quickly on this. If you're interested, get in touch with their casting director ASAP!
===> Include a recent photo
===> Put "HOC MidWesterner" in the email subject line, or the email will be deleted.

Alternative programming: Service across generations
In a few hours, the National Mall will turn into an absolute mob scene for an inaugural HBO-sponsored Veterans Day concert featuring Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Rihanna, and other major artists. This sort of musical event isn't unprecedented on the Mall (like the previous HBO concert for Obama'a 2009 inauguration), but we understand if you find something a little dissonant about holding such an extravagant event on this typically somber holiday.
For those looking for a less raucous to reflect on the work of members of the armed forces, we recommend My Vietnam, Your Iraq (HU DVD 272), a PBS documentary about veterans of the Vietnam War whose children then served in Iraq. We tend to focus on the veteran experience in terms of its effects on families, but the dynamic can be very different in a family with multiple generations of war experience. The film jumps between seven different families, revealing intimate portraits of how war touches multiple generations.
We don't want to denigrate the Concert for Valor, especially because it brings some liveliness to a holiday about celebrating our veterans rather than mourning them. But if you're looking for something more reflective, this film is a great place to start.

Get re-revenge this Thursday at a free Horrible Bosses 2 preview!
There's a scene in Horrible Bosses where Jamie Foxx's character (whose name is not repeatable here) admits to serving jail time for bootlegging a copy of Snow Falling on Cedars. We tell you this to warn you that such behavior will not be permitted at this week's free preview screening of Horrible Bosses 2!
Horrible Bosses was a runaway success in 2011, particularly because of lead Charlie Day in his first major film role. We don't know too much about the sequel, but we expect it to be at least as funny and chaotic as the original. And you can see it weeks before it hits theaters!
This free screening event happens on Thursday, November 13th, at the Regal Gallery Place Stadium 14 in Chinatown at 8pm. Unlike many of our screenings in which we give out physical passes, you can redeem these passes online through our friends at GoFobo. Keep in mind, as with every screening, that these events are intentionally overbooked, so you are encouraged to show up at least an hour or two in advance to ensure that you get a seat.
Hope to see you there! (But please leave your peanut-infected shampoo at home.)

Top 10: Bonus Features Not to Skip
We're proud of the variety and depth of the Media Services collection. In the interest of bringing you some highlights and deep cuts from our shelves, we'll be posting unusual and interesting Top 10 lists of some of our favorite DVDs.
When was the last time you watched a DVD bonus feature? At the risk of sounding hackneyed, special features aren't so special anymore; so many films now receive limited editions with behind-the-scene footage and interviews. Even among the best movie releases (like anything put out by the Criterion Collection), it can be exhausting to go through every featurette, trailer, and commentary track.
But there are a few movies with particularly unusual or interesting special features that are worth the detour to the second disc. In some cases, they're even better than the film themselves. With the help of the library's Media and RTL staff, we present the top ten DVD bonus features that are worth tracking down.
- The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (HU DVD 7661 - 7673)
- Big Trouble in Little China (HU DVD 6518)
- Blade Runner (DVD 1064)
- Blood Simple (HU DVD 4740)
- Chuck Jones: Extremes & In-Betweens - A Life in Animation (DVD 4176)
- Citizen Kane (HU DVD 434)
- Inland Empire (HU DVD 3109)
- Memento (HU DVD 256)
- This is Spinal Tap (HU DVD 538)
- Treasures of the Twilight Zone (DVD 6478)

This film critic's child grew up – with some help from the Terminator
Do you remember your first R-rated movie? Many people probably merged into the world of violent and dark films without great fanfare, but for others, graduating from PG-13 to R is a rite of passage and a sign that, yes, a parent figure thinks that you're mature enough to enjoy that sort of movie.
If you're in the mood for a heartwarming, inspiring story about this passage into young adulthood, look no further than a recent post from film critic Drew McWeeny. McWeeny showed his son an R-rated movie for the first time, in a very personal blog post, he explains his son's extreme enthusiasm for The Terminator and what it's like watching a child take that first step into an unexplored, adult realm of culture. It's a beautiful, emotional piece, generally about growing up but specifically about watching the next generation become film enthusiasts.
We'll let McWeeny's article speak for itself. It's touching and highly worth a read if you get the warm-and-fuzzies thinking about the future relevance and magic of film.

New Acquisitions - November 2014
We have two major highlights this month. Firstly, thanks to a generous donation, we have received a massive collection of Quebecois films. Secondly, we spent the better part of the month processing the entire series of The X-Files! That's 54 discs of Mulder and Scully, including both theatrical movies. That's a lot of aliens and fluke-people.
Hit the jump for a full list of what we've acquired...

From the "West Australian" Inside Cover 28-29 Jan 2012
Like a growing number of people, we like to get out on our bicycle.
So we can understand that Transport Minister Troy Buswell and his partner, Fremantle MP Adele Carles, would have enjoyed cruising about in Freo on their bicycles on Australia Day evening.
But we can't understand why they would have done so without helmets.
A South Fremantle resident told us yesterday that she saw the pair twice during the course of the evening.
She said that on the second occasion she could not help herself, and asked: "Excuse me, Mr Buswell, where's your bike helmet?"
"He said 'at home' and rode off, " she said.
We checked with police yesterday and were told that Section 222 (2) of the Road Traffic Code referred to wearing helmets on bicycles.
In a nutshell, the law states that an individual must wear an approved protective helmet, securely fastened, when riding on the road or any path.
The penalty for not doing so was $50, we were told.
Naturally we went to the pair for an explanation.
Ms Carles gave us a brief statement: "Yes, I was cycling in Freo without a helmet, as I occasionally do on the cycle path, although I always insist that children wear them."
Mr Buswell's bugle sent us a statement confirming he, too, had not worn a helmet.
And from the man himself: "It was unwise not to wear a helmet for the short ride down to watch the fireworks on Australia Day.
"Obviously it's compulsory to wear a helmet while riding a bike, and there's no excuse for not doing so.
"In recognition of the fact this offence carries a $50 penalty, I'll donate $100 to the charity of IC's choice.
"And I will obviously be more vigilant about wearing a helmet in future."
And below is the mail I sent to Troy a couple of days ago
Hi, Troy,
Nice to hear (from the papers) that you continue to cycle on a regular basis (and in good company). Cycling as an expression of personal freedom.
If we work from the assumption that the best thing for Cycling Safety is more people riding bicycles, then the compulsory wearing of helmets (which clearly reduce cycling participation) is not a useful law. In a recently published Australian survey, 22% of people asked indicated that they would cycle more if they would not have to wear a helmet. 32% of the respondents did not support mandatory helmet legislation. That is a big chunk of voters….
We actually know what is required to get more people on their bikes…. http://vimeo.com/22590356.
Of course, being in the public spotlight your options are somewhat reduced….. keep cycling .

Owner of Crazy Cats
Ccm j12
Being one of the lucky 50 to be able to get in on the first run of the J12, I thought that I would do a review of what I thought of this gun for all of you looking to grab one when the second run (and others after that :P).
Here is what came with my gun:
Marker, 14" barrel tip, 7 barrel sizers (.675 - 690), barrel case, barrel sock, allen key set, snazzy CCM patch and assorted washers (common ones that wear out in the gun).
Pretty good load out for any paintball gun on the market and well worth the $800 for the whole sha-bang. For those that think that it needs a case can buy a $2 laptop case from a dollar store. My friends and I have been using them for the last few years and they work really amazingly. Gotta keep that fine gun from getting scratches.
CCM has redone the foam for their boxes so that it can fit all their guns (S6, T2, S6.5, & J12) and keep them safe and sound for when they get into their new owner's hands. It is alot more solid then what they used before. I have never heard of any CCMs damaged in transit from the shop but also working in a hardware store I have seen shipping companies do bad things to boxes. Good job going over and above the bar making sure that we get our custom markers even if the shipping companies dance on the boxes.
This gun is the new evolution on the CCM pump marker and has alot of refinements on the firing system that they perfected with the J2 & S5.
This gun has one of the fastest autotriggers I have ever used (not that CCM autotriggers are slow). I am a big fan of how they re-vamped the way that it operates. Using a linkage to separate and isolate the trigger from the sear is a smart idea on their part. The trigger feels a little stiffer then my T2 but the lack of movement when autotriggering is great. Also not having to replace my trigger because I gouge the snot out of it (I have been through 2 of them). Also everything being internalized makes cleaning the gun a little easier. No little spots to collect paint like under and around the cam.
The ergonomics on the gun are a little different then their normal guns (S6, T2, S6.5).
I lined my J12 and T2 to show how the guns differ. I lined them up by the barrels (both are 14" barrels) to show you where the grip frames line up in relation to one another. The grip frame on the J12 is shorter length and places most of the weight of the marker over your hand. It does make the gun balance a little different then my other guns but it is still comfortable like my T2. I would say that it is like holding my 06 Ego and then switching to my Geo.
Where all the big changes from the S6 to the J12 were in the bottom tube. The bottom tube is physically shorter then the other guns in their stable. They still use their standard CCM valve (why fix something that works well) but it is sprung with a longer and lighter valve spring. The hammer is a larger diameter, heavier, has a built in IVG, and is (again) sprung lighter then other CCMs. They have drilled out the pump rod to make sure there is enough regulated air for the valve to operate "fart free".
One thing that I like from a tech standpoint is that I can take the "front block" off of the gun and gas it up to check for leaks from the valve.
The regulator has been redesigned so that it is built into the gun and is smaller. Don't worry it is a full sized CCM reg on the inside.
They have changed the piston. There is now a oring on the body of the reg that seals the piston. There is no "witch hat" on the piston anymore. The piston looks like it has been polished so there is less friction and it will freely.
It works and works well (nuff said)
One thing I really like is that they made a twist lock bolt. No more bolt pins to lose or bolts to flip.
The closed in bottom tube is nice and fixes the problem of getting paint & dirt in the bottom tube and the gun not shooting right. The hammer is actually cocked by the lower pump rod and this leads to a "smoother" feel in the pump stroke. That rod also activates the autotrigger and is set from the factory to make the gun work.
Even the ASA was changed. CCM has went with a T-rail slot on the frame like Empire and Planet Eclipse. This makes a much more solid connection between the ASA and frame. The way that they lock down the ASA to the frame is a little different. There is a set screw in the frame (accessed by taking the grips off) that locks into one of 3 holes in the ASA. I like T-rail ASAs and have the PE POPS ASA on a few of my other guns in my stable. I find that they are easier to lock down and take all the wiggle out of.
When you buy any marker from CCM, you get their awesome customer service. My original gun had some problems out of the box, took 2 trips to CCM for Rod to go over it and fix, and I have a working gun now. CCM went out of their way to make sure that I was happy with the gun that I got because I had problems with my gun & made sure to include a personalized clamp ring on the feedneck for my troubles. It is the little things that count.
There is a reason that they are regarded as one of the best companies in paintball to deal with.
Overall this gun is well worth the money that you spend on it and you will be happy with your purchase. If you are a tinkerer and like tuning your gun you might be disapointed because there is really nothing to tinker with.
Here's my friend's daughter shooting her dad with my gun :P

Post Whore
Dealing with CCM and with my J12 was nothing short of incredible, as have been all of my dealings with CCM.
It is an incredible new marker design, and everyone can take to heart that if there are niggles with your marker, that they WILL make it right, and very quickly.
I finally decided to start a thread for my Feedback: http://www.mcarterbrown.com/forums/f...-feedback.html

Urine containing blood
Patient : When I am urinating there is a mix of blood within it, there is no symptoms of pain it but should I be concerned or worried?
Symptoms: No symptoms
Doctor : Welcome to Ask The Doctor. I understand your concern. It seems you are suffering from Stones in your renal tract par ticularly in ureter with or without Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). Prostatitis and Prostate cancer should also be kept in a differential diagnosis in such cases. I would advise you following: 1.Ultrasound Abdomen with KUB. 2. Hemogram 3. Urine culture. 4. X-ray KUB. 5. KFT. You would be treated based on size, site of the stone. If Urine infection is found you would be given antibiotics based on culture report. This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. Stay Healthy.

Rules for the Perfect Beach Vacation (with a toddler)
Always eat locally and in season. Stone Crab is taste-eee.
Make sure you're well protected from the sun. And that you look really cool.
Feel free to eat whatever you want- it's a vacation after all!
When encountering pirates, do not hesitate to join their ranks. Even if you don't quite know what to do with weaponry yet.
Restaurants are best at sunset. And if you must wait to eat, be sure to pick one with a nice waiting area, with plenty of room for the kids to play.
Be sure to get a little activity in each day. You are eating whatever you want, after all. And pure butter doesn't melt away as quickly as you'd think.
Sunsets are a must.

Check with the nutrition department for course registration deadlines, and dieting program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Hamline University.
The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider Mohawk Valley Community College pharmacy tech program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Princess Superstar : London Pentonville Hole In The Wall
Pentonville Prison serves as dramatic backdrop for Pulp's club night...
The trouble with all the comedy sleaze-musikkk in vogue now (Peaches Miss Kittin And The Hacker and their ilk), is that so little of it is sexy. Or funny. Step forward, raunchy New York rapper, Princess Superstar, currently frontin' in front of a portrait of the Queen (no relation) and Phil the Greek in a prison officers' social club attached to Pentonville, the 'interesting' venue for Pulp men Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey's monthly Desperate club night. We reckon it must've come cheap.
Princess Superstar is the superhero alter ego of one Sicilian-Russian-Polish American, Concetta Kirschner. She's the real-life pale-face bad-ass rap maven Gwen Stefani is trying to be on 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind'. The Princess is so hot, she's gone head-to-lyrical-head with hiphop's dirtiest mac, Kool Keith, on 'Keith 'N Me', and lived to spray down the mirrored ceiling afterwards. Tonight's gig is a riot of sultry live bass'n'decks with guest rapper 7even trading come-ons and put-downs with the Princess. By the end of it, she's rolled around on the dancefloor and stripped to reveal two 'I ? New York' stickers covering her breasts – this in inspired tribute to "New York Titty"'s recent troubles.
There are a lot of happy men here, in short. Women too, though. Because none of this jiggy-crazed carry-on is at all sad, ugly or – despite the club's name – desperate. Like the best sex, it's a right laugh. 'Keith 'N Me' and its excellent remix come on all foul-mouthed and frisky, with the only disrespect suffered by poor 7even, who has to deliver another man's rap.
But if she's good at [I]'that thing'[/I], as Lauryn Hill would have it, she's even better when she puts it away. 'You Get Mad At Napster' unleashes Kirschner's caustic quicksilver flow against a lame ex, while the moving 'Too Much Weight' makes good her claim to be a [I]"sensitive Pisces"[/I]. She's a lover, not a fighter, our Princess. Using sex as a weapon's just part of the deal.

Electronic artist James Blake has won this year's Barclaycard Mercury Prize with his second album Overgrown, which judges described as "inventive, poetic, and poignant." They added that "James Blake makes music like no-one else."
Blake beat favourites Laura Mvula and David Bowie to take home the £20,000 prize.
Blake gave thanks to his parents during his brief acceptance speech. Saying, thank you "for showing me the importance of being self-sufficient."
Asked how it felt to beat Bowie, he replied: "I don't think I beat him.
"A lot of people do their best work when they're young - and it's always disappointing when they don't keep going and don't keep innovating. So David Bowie's an inspiration to people like me."
He added: "I feel like I deserved it as much as anyone else did."
Blake has been nominated in 2011 for Mercury Prize for his self-titled album.
Meanwhile, his win did not receive standing ovation from the audience who were mostly rooting for Laura Mvula. There was also a strong support for Sheffield rockers Arctic Monkeys, who have received across-the-board praise for their fifth album.
Talking about the result to BBC, Mvula said she was happy with the result. She added that BBC "the nomination itself felt like an award."

KAMLOOPS - A man charged with fraud and drug possession has been ordered to spend the next 55 days behind bars by a Kamloops Provincial Court judge.
David Tarrant, 33, will also spend 12 months on probation and has been given an 18-month driving prohibition.
Court heard that on Jan. 8 police were called to a Money Mart in Kamloops. Tarrant had gone in the month before to cash a government cheque for more than $1,400.
An employee from the government office called the Money Mart in January and said that Tarrant had changed the name and the amount on the cheque.
RCMP issued a warrant for Tarrant's arrest.
On Feb. 2, a squad car was doing routine patrols in the Brocklehurst area when they spotted a white Ford pick-up truck sporting U-Haul decals.
Officers say they observed a man and woman standing outside of the house the vehicle was parked at and their constant looks up and avoidance of eye contact made them "look suspicious."
Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio told the court that officers recognized Tarrant and the suspect ran to the back driveway with an accomplice, got into a vehicle and took off.
Officers caught up with the vehicle and saw what appeared to be the driver attempting to switch positions with the passenger.
The suspect vehicle sped up and ended up blasting through a school zone, where officers say there were children on the street. The police didn't pursue the vehicle for fear of public safety.
Tarrant was arrested three days later, Feb. 5, after police received several calls about erratic driving. He was found to have 0.8 grams of heroin on him.
Crown sought a 90 to 120 day sentence, while defence asked for 60 to 90 days.
Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate told the court Tarrant has not lived an easy life.
"He's had somewhat of a disruptive and difficult upbringing," Tate said. "But he's an intelligent young man with bright prospects."
Tarrant has a common-law wife who was present in court today, July 7. When Judge Stella Frame asked Tarrant if he'd like to say anything before being sentenced, he took the opportunity.
"I know I've done a lot of wrong things in my life... I just want the opportunity to change my life," Tarrant said. "(My wife) makes me want to be a better person in every way possible."
Frame pointed out that Tarrant has slowly been trying to make positive changes to his life, but said "the sentence still must meet the crime."
Tarrant received an 81-day sentence with credit for time served.

|Hunkered down: Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi (Reuters: Antony Njuguna)
United States tells Gaddafi to 'leave now'
US president Barack Obama has called on Moamar Gaddafi to "leave now," declaring that the Libyan leader had lost his right to rule after attacking his own people to put down a popular uprising.
Mr Obama's most direct demand yet that Mr Gaddafi step down was made in a telephone call with German chancellor Angela Merkel to coordinate their response to the crisis, the White House said.
"The president stated that when a leader's only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now," it said.
Hours later, the UN Security Council voted unanimously to order an investigation into crimes against humanity, an arms embargo and travel bans and asset freezes targeting Mr Gaddafi, his family and inner circle.
The resolution cited "gross and systematic violation of human rights, including the repression of peaceful demonstrators" and incitement to hostility and violence "from the highest levels of the Libyan government."
Australia has welcomed the decision, with Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd saying it sends a clear and unambiguous message to the Libyan regime that it must meet its responsibility to protect the Libyan people.
The UN resolution stopped short of demanding Mr Gaddafi be removed from power, something that Mr Obama had also refrained from doing while US citizens were being evacuated from Libya.
But the president and secretary of state Hillary Clinton sharply changed tack Saturday in back-to-back statements.
"Moamar Gaddafi has lost the confidence of his people and he should go without further bloodshed and violence," Ms Clinton said.
"The Libyan people deserve a government that is responsive to their aspirations and that protects their universally recognized human rights."
The diplomatic moves came as Mr Gaddafi hunkered down in Tripoli for what many feared would be a bloody showdown with rebels that have taken control of large areas of the oil-rich North African country.
The Libyan leader's son, Seif al-Islam Kadhafi, earlier told Al-Arabiya television that the crisis had "opened the doors to a civil war."
Foreigners flee
As the impasse deepened, thousands of foreign workers were trying to flee the country and embassies closed their doors. The United Nations estimates that more than 1,000 civilians have been killed so far.
The UN refugee agency said Sunday that "close to 100,000 people", mainly foreign migrants, have fled Libya to neighbouring countries during the past week of turmoil.
A UNHCR count showed that they were overwhelmingly foreign migrants, mainly Egyptians and Tunisians.
The Red Crescent said earlier that more than 10,000 people fled Libya into Tunisia at the Ras Jedir post on Saturday alone, most of them Egyptians, calling the situation a "humanitarian crisis" as the flow grew.
Before those arrivals, the Tunisian government said Saturday that 40,000 people had crossed from Libya since February 20, while Egyptian authorities accounted for 55,000 people fleeing since February 19, according to the UNHCR.
The refugee agency urged foreign help for Egypt and Tunisia to cope with the exodus.
The UNHCR revealed that its staff had crossed the border from Egypt, and met Libyan police and military nearby who said that they had defected from government forces and were working with local committees of tribal leaders.
Those tribal leaders told the agency there was a need for humanitarian assistance in Libya, "with a critical shortage of food throughout the eastern region, as well as shortages of some medical supplies," it added.
The reports of food shortages echo unconfirmed claims by some Libyan opposition members.

How did TESL@TFLI prepare you for teaching in Taiwan?
I truly could not have imagined teaching in Taiwan (or ANY foreign country for that matter) without the TESL training from TFLI. The meager week-long, unpaid "training" we received from my company upon arrival was basically a cram session designed to familiarize us with their procedures. What really made a difference was TFLI's required field teaching. This was where the "rubber met the road" so to speak, and we had to apply what we learned in class to the real world.
What advice do you have for students who want to teach abroad?
Do it! Do it! Do it! But . . . do your homework; know what you're getting into. Undoubtedly, you won't be able to plan for everything, but a lot of preparation up front goes a long way. I think I'd narrow down my advice to these three things:
- Know who you'll be teaching
- Know your location and your school
- Know the culture
Know Who You'll Be Teaching
I can't speak for all of Asia or even all of Taiwan, but most of the teaching opportunities here in Taipei City and Taipei County are teaching children; frequently, very young children. So, if you don't like children, a TESL course and a foreign country won't magically make you endure them.
On the other hand, even if you teach adults, different cultural and societal norms and expectations can be very different from what we're accustomed to. Here in Taiwan, adult students really respect teachers to the point of letting you babble all you want without interruption or question, even if they don't understand. At these times, it's crucial that you shut up and use the tools you learned in your TESL course (CCQs, for example) to see if they've gotten the point. Also, getting Asian students to talk in the first place can sometimes be challenging.
Know Your Location and Your School
I already knew I wanted to go to Taiwan. I had visited before, and I just knew that was the place for me. You may know you want to travel abroad, but just don't know where. Understand that most work contracts are for a year, so all I can say is choose a place you can see yourself living for at least a year. Determine your deal breakers up front, but be flexible knowing any foreign country won't have everything just like you expect (that's part of the fun).
In terms of teaching environment, my school is one of several schools that have a large, established presence all over Taiwan (and even other countries). These large schools typically have standard curriculum, plenty of materials, welfare officers, limited training and other things in place to help your transition be more comfortable. Local, smaller schools may not have all (or any) of these things, but in return typically offer higher wages and more classroom freedom.
In spite of the training from TFLI, you must be flexible. If they are structured enough, your employer ultimately dictates how you should teach. And your school's way of teaching may only mildly resemble some of the methods used at TESL@TFLI. On the other hand, I've heard of cases of people being picked up from the airport, shown their housing, and essentially told "well, we'll see you at work on Monday." Those schools, with a complete lack of structure and very hands-off approach to their English programs have their benefits/drawbacks too.
To find a school, check out ESL websites (Dave's ESL Café is classic), and message boards, and talk to people who've taught overseas before. TFLI lets students and graduates know of opportunities too. This is how I found out about my school and the director even helped me evaluate its credentials.
Know the Culture
This statement might disappoint some people. Their thinking might be that knowing too much about the culture prior to leaving would take the excitement out of the experience. Let me tell you though, in my one year of teaching, I saw several people break contract and leave because the locale wasn't for them. I can also tell you that the limited Mandarin Chinese I knew prior to going to Taiwan helped out a lot.
What is your best experience so far teaching abroad?
My best overall experience so far while teaching abroad has been meeting my wife (just being honest). My best teaching experience has been the relationships I've developed with my students. Many of them really touched my heart (even the bad ones). I can't describe to you the feeling of seeing a child you've worked so hard to help get an English concept and correctly use it.
Tell us an interesting classroom story.
Well, let's see: kids puking in class, being thrown into an out-of-control kindergarten on my first day of teaching, dressing up like Santa Claus for Christmas and giving out gifts and candy. A lot of stories to tell. Probably one of the most memorable was a student of mine, Alan, who came to my last class on Saturday just to say goodbye to me before I left that school. He only had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so that really touched my heart that he came just to say goodbye. And that right there, my friends, is what it's all about.
I hope this information helped give you realistic expectations of traveling abroad. I've tried to be honest with my answers and give you useful feedback. Bottom line—traveling the world adds different perspectives, experiences, and fullness to your life that you otherwise would never have experienced had you stayed in your home country, so GO FOR IT!

The people at Lifesavers Wildhorse Rescue are amazing! The ranch is in a beautiful canyon and the surrounding Hills are full of wildflowers and wildhorses. The horse trainers take you into the pen where you get to learn so much about yourself. It's really mind blowing and such a gentle way to learn about yourself. Meanwhile you are gentling horses so they can become adoptable. A win/win for all. I would encourage anyone to take this opportunity.
I wanted to give a shout out to Lifesavers! I'm a disabled veteran due to PTSD/MST and struggle with anxiety but, having the opportunity to work with the wild horses gave me the chance to go head on at my symptoms. I learned that the horses based their mood on my ability to calm myself and progress in gaining their trust! It felt awesome to be able to be the leader that I am...thank you to Cheyanne, John and Karen for giving me such an amazing experience!
Trina McDonald
I'd been looking for just the right mustang for my newest book project:
"Into the Essence of Love" - through the path of the wild horse.
Since the book is about trust, vulnerability, overcoming fear, accessing intuition to ultimately find deep, abiding love, I needed a very shy mustang that I could build an intimate relationship with.
Jill and her staff were of amazing support in all of this search. They went out of their way to help me find the perfect horse. We've since then started our bonding and yes, they have helped me to the perfect horse. See for yourself at www.WildHorseWisdom.com
Please support Lifesavers in any way you can. They save horses and people!
I have been involved with Lifesavers since 2000, as a client served, a donor, and for the last year, a board member. I can't say enough about this organization. In addition to having over 500 horses in its care, Lifesavers is now helping Wounded Warriors to heal through close interaction with the wild horses in weekend workshops. I can attest to the healing that takes place when a human is able to touch the heart and mind of a wild horse and be touched back, as I attended one of these workshops and was helped immeasurably by the horses. Organizations grow and thrive by being visionary, and continually striving to serve. This is not an easy thing to do, but Lifesavers continues to serve both horses and humans.

I have been a donor to Lifesavers since 2000 - in 2006, I was thrown from my horse and had all sorts of injuries, not the least of which was psychological trauma. In 2007, I came to Lifesaver's Wild Horse Boot Camp because I felt I needed to upgrade my ground skills before I could ever think about riding again. Working with the wild horses and being able to approach them without eliciting a fear response was a really healing experience for me. In addition, I fell in love with a mare who had also been injured, and was able to spend time with her grooming her and talking to her. She was an awesome "therapist." I am committed to this fight against the special interests who are driving wild horses to extinction - I am now serving on the board, and am able to be more active as I approach retirement. There are lots of horse rescues out there - Lifesavers is really special. Currently I have three horses and ride dressage, and I do not think I would have ever been able to come back to riding without Lifesavers.
At the end of 2010, I came across Jills' Lifesavers Website as I was researching the Wild Mustang. Jill has a wealth of information she shares as well as her detailed efforts to help these magnificent creatures overcome the injustices done to them by many. She had just rescued over 100 baby mustangs that were headed to slaughter and was asking for adopters from across the US. Just so happened several were being shipped to Florida which was not too far from my home. Jill was very helpful, posting all the little ones photos online, coggins pulled on all, tagged. And then arranged for transport. My young colt arrived in great shape and is now 3 plus and my soul mate. I can never Thank Jill enough , for my Reno and all the hard work she does saving the Wild Mustang!
Lifesavers is one of the most amazing rescue organizations I've seen. They do amazing work and take these horses as far as they can. They're dedicated and passionate about their work and don't regret any second spending time with the horses. I adopted my horse from there. I originally wanted a different horse, but she wasn't the one for me. They knew how badly I needed this horse and they found my perfect match. They worked with me for hours making sure I knew how to continue his training, learning their ways, and learning his. It was the greatest experience I've ever had and am thankful for it. They do a lot of work for these horses, and I really appreciate it and hope they continue to do more good work. I love to see the stories they post. Especially the ones that are emaciated horses, and they bring them to a good healthy horse that's ready to go. It warms my heart up!
The people at Lifesavers do amazing work. They are dedicated and passionate in their service to horses who would have little to no chance of even a decent life without them. I have seen the work that the trainers there do with the horses and it's inspiring to watch. They are intuitive, creative and firm but kind. They take horses who have little or no handling and turn them into great partners for adopters. And they strive to find the right match for adopters and horses to ensure that it's a forever home.

I've always wanted a reading nook. This would be one I could share with my family all at the same time and not be crowded. It's a nautical-themed reading nook. I love the colors and what a wonderful space with such tall ceilings! Love the decorations on the shelves too.

****/**** Image A Sound B Extras A-
starring Sean Connery, Daniela Bianchi, Pedro Armendáriz, Lotte Lenya
screenplay by Richard Maibaum, based on the novel by Ian Fleming
directed by Terence Young
by Ian Pugh The first indelible image of From Russia with Love finds steely-eyed, platinum-blond killer Red Grant (Robert Shaw) taking a garrotte to James Bond (Sean Connery), slowly choking the life out of him without witty repartee or a single hope of close-shave escape. The victim turns out to be an impostor, live-target practice for Grant's escapades later in the film--but that momentary shock establishes right from the start that the rules have changed since last we saw 007. Here's a point in time when we weren't completely conditioned to accept Bond as undefeatable, when it wasn't unreasonable to believe that these globetrotting adventures could come to an unfortunate end at any moment. In fact, I wonder if it's reasonable to regard the unpolished Dr. No as mere prologue to From Russia with Love1, with the breezy, romantic life of a Cold War secret agent violently exposed as a lie.

Wessex FM News
Pull Together To Protect Dorset's Rivers
8:35am 23rd July 2014
Dorset Wildlife Trust is urging us to help stop the spread of invasive Himalayan balsam, which smothers and destroys native plants.
It's renowned for its pink trumpet shaped flowers and hollow green stems, and can be found along river banks and other wetland areas.
The Trust want us to pull out and uproot them to conserve our river beds and native plants for future generations.
DWT trainee conservation officer Ali Quinney told Wessex FM:
"Himalayan balsam is causing havoc along many Dorset rivers and is a contributing factor to the erosion of our river banks, as well as destroying habitats such as the water vole. When it flowers, its seeds literally explode, making stopping its spread a very challenging task. It has very shallow roots which make it extremely easy to remove: just hold it firmly at the base and gently pull, making sure all the roots are out of the ground, and then dispose by burning or composting them."

Happy Hump Day everybody! I'm back with more Australia today … woot woot :) In my Australia recap launch Monday I forgot to forewarn everyone of the MASSIVE photo overload and the fact that these posts will be extraordinarily long. Sorry bout that friends … but I like pictures and have a lot to share, there just ain't no two ways about it. And, that brings us to Cairns.
Originally, I posted here about the layout of the trip and familiarized you with maps, etc. Only to get to Australia and realize I was wrong about the order of the cities we were visiting … whoopsie! Our first adventure was North Queensland, Australia. We stayed in Cairns and rented a car, so we were able to travel easily to and fro to the surrounding beaches/islands, etc.
Friday, December 19
We arrived around 4 pm. on December 19th, checked into our hotel and headed straight to dinner so we wouldn't crash! Immediately after dinner we headed back to the hotel, showered up and snoozed off the rest of the eve, in hopes of waking up refreshed!
Saturday, December 20
The next morning we had an early wake up call to head to Port Douglas for a full day of a chartered catamaran snorkeling/diving the Great Barrier Reef. (We actually have SO many more pictures than just this one below, and they are SOO GOOD … but my mother is currently hoarding the images on her camera after I have asked her countless times to get them to me … so I'll show you this one until she decides to share with everyone else … I wrote this because I know you're reading mom ...). It was GORGEOUS. We saw whales (from the boat!), caught some rays (from the sun!), and I made my baby bro hold my hand the entire time I was in the ocean (because I'm a scardey cat!). We finished off the evening with some Chinese food for dinner at the hotel (where my child actually ordered a Coke from the waitress … God love him) and called it a night early. It was a great start to the trip!
Sunday, December 21Day Two in Cairns was another early morning (jet lag…). We snagged some breakfast from a Restaurant in the hotel, Taramind, where Bennett decided to make it his mission to see how many cocoa pebbles he could spill. And mom and I finished off an entire pot of french press coffee. After that, we piled into the rental van (which could fit a small army) and headed to Innisfail, South Queensland.
First stop: Paronella Park! (again, we have way better and more cool pics - that include everyone and are really fun … but Penny hasn't shared yet :( … last time I'll mention it, but you get the idea) It was ridiculously HOT and even more gorgeous.
Ya'll that is GINGER! Before blooming (above) and after (below).
Okay, back to the picturesque park. This is the swinging bridge that stretches over an enormous waterfall. We had to walk down the historic 47 steps to get into the gardens and then back up them to walk across the swinging bridge.
Mrs. Penny :) (I'm certain she was screaming .. she's afraid of heights) But mad props to her .. she went SKY DIVING in New Zealand! Sheesh!
Hubs and Moi!
Paronella Park was seriously gorgeous. Beautiful trees, pretty waterfalls, historic buildings, magical gardens … you name it … it was here. I'm unsure why this park hasn't been the setting for a movie, because it was a beautiful set!
After Paronella we piled back into the car and headed to Millaa Millaa, Australia's Tropical Dairyland. We had some burgers for lunch in the tiniest little town, and let mister B take a break from the car to play on the playground in the middle of the city (or street rather). After that it was waterfall time!
First falls: Millaa Milla Falls
Second falls: Zillions Falls
Third falls: Ellinjaa Falls (and the 68 steps up and down that it took to get there)
Insert adorable entire family photo and sibling pic here (oh wait … Penny didn't send me the photos)
After we were water-falled out, we were headed back to Cairns. On the drive home dad made an impromptu turn to see something called the "Cathedral Fig Tree" … Yawwwwn. We were all half laughing and making fun of him … "really dad?! … a tree? … can we just head back?"
Holy insert foot in mouth moment. We climbed out of the car and were walking along this little trail when all of a sudden Max says, "OH MY AWESOME!" We all look up … hum, woah. WOW! Amazzzzinnnngggg.
I've never felt smaller while standing in nature than that moment in the Danbulla Forest under the beautiful Cathedral Fig Tree.
Honestly, pictures don't even come CLOSE to giving it justice.
Max, Shane and I climbed up in that bad boy (ahem, picture on mom's camera) only to learn after we got down that the tree is home to 10 FOOT PYTHONS! BAHHHH!!!
Our drive home took place down the Gillies Range - the windiest road in all of Australia. Thank goodness that is done and over with! Although, it did make for some hysterical laughter and gorgeous views.
Later, we headed to dinner at Barnacle Bills.

Oh, and some Kangaroo Jerky. GROSS!
Monday, December 22The next morning we woke up to another beautiful day and had the most delicious breakfast at (what ended up being Shane's favorite restaurant) Perrottas, on the corner of Shield St. and Abbott St.
Later, we headed to dinner at Barnacle Bills.
Tuesday, December 23Our last morning in Cairns we headed straight to Perrotta's again, per Shane's request.
