My last show with my youth theater troupe closed this weekend. Our Comedy of Errors was set in the Wild West, with cowboy-themed sound track. Roy Rogers was singing "Happy Trails, to you..." at every performance.
Hence the title.
I am retiring from this phase of my life- over 20 years of leading youth in exploring theater. I am going through the files, some to save as a part of my life history, and some to give back to the organization for their archives, and some paper goes to the recycling bin.
There is a lot of paper involved in over 20 years of volunteering with youth. In 1990, I became a trained 4-H leader. In 1992, I founded a 4-H club to explore drama. In 2000, I founded a teen theater troupe.
Back in the day, digital archives were not a possibility. So there are multiple, multiple copies of many, many workshop outlines, promo pieces, schedules, programs...
A lot of paper.
It is an opportunity to reflect and recognize the amazing journey.
If you were there in the early years, you may be receiving some snail mail.
I'll share the hard copies of our shared memories with you.
Paper trails, to you...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Barack Obama released the following statement on New Year's Day regarding the fiscal cliff agreement which was passed late Monday.
"Statement from the President:
Leaders from both parties in the Senate came together to reach an agreement that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support today that protects 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small business owners from a middle class tax hike. While neither Democrats nor Republicans got everything they wanted, this agreement is the right thing to do for our country and the House should pass it without delay.
This agreement will also grow the economy and shrink our deficits in a balanced way - by investing in our middle class, and by asking the wealthy to pay a little more.
What's more, today's agreement builds on previous efforts to reduce our deficits. Last year, I worked with Democrats and Republicans to cut spending by more than $1 trillion. Tonight's agreement does even more by asking millionaires and billionaires to begin to pay their fair share for the first time in twenty years. As promised, that increase will be immediate, and it will be permanent.
There's more work to do to reduce our deficits, and I'm willing to do it. But tonight's agreement ensures that, going forward, we will continue to reduce the deficit through a combination of new spending cuts and new revenues from the wealthiest Americans. And as we address our ongoing fiscal challenges, I will continue to fight every day on behalf of the middle class and all those fighting to get into the middle class to forge an economy that grows from the middle out, not from the top down."

I did this from a terminal login so I don't know if it can be done from synaptic, but it probably can. My steps were:
1) Boot into a terminal login of the 3.0 kernel.
2) su to root
- Code: Select all
apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx
4) Reboot - might not be necessary but that is what I did anyway.
5) Repeat steps 1 and 2.
- Code: Select all
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx
7) Reboot - definitely necessary this time.
I end up with the same version of these two programs:
Start-Date: 2011-08-10 10:35:33
Commandline: apt-get remove nvidia-kernel-dkms
Remove: nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386 (275.21-1), nvidia-glx:i386 (275.21-1)
End-Date: 2011-08-10 10:36:04
Start-Date: 2011-08-10 10:38:55
Commandline: apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx
Install: nvidia-kernel-dkms:i386 (275.21-1), nvidia-glx:i386 (275.21-1)
End-Date: 2011-08-10 10:39:37
But now it works and I have the 3.0 kernel with the Nvidia driver.
Go figure

Stripes and Pockets – Refashion #1
This skirt came in handy during pregnancy as a skirt…
…and as a dress.
It got some use after pregnancy, too…
…but in the end, there was just way too much fabric for me! All I did was chop off a few inches…hem…and voila! A new skirt!
The new length is much more flattering, don't ya think?
This skirt has been sitting in my "to-do" pile for quite some time…and it felt great to finally hem it! With a thick waist band, micro-stripes, and pockets…this skirt will be a favorite for summer!
Tomorrow I'll show you a pink skirt that I found and hemmed! I love taking thrifted pieces and bringing them into some kind of current form!
shirt (Gap), skirt, jacket (H&M), chain necklace – thrifted // rhinestone necklace – Forever 21
Linked with Monday Mingle!
May 7, 2012 6:38 am
Good job with the hemming! I loved it as a dress when you were pregnant, and I love the new length!
May 7, 2012 2:20 pm
That skirt is so fun! Love how you shortened it. Perfect for summer!
May 7, 2012 3:06 pm
I love the new length. Longer was great for the baby belly, but I love the shorter length for you now.
May 7, 2012 9:32 pm
I love it's latest reincarnation with the stripes!
May 20, 2012 7:57 pm
I love all the ways that you re-created this skirt. Very creative and innovative.

Before The best way to prepare for a hurricane is to listen to NOAA warnings. Knowing when and where a hurricane will strike will give you precious time to flee or protect yourself. Sometimes, even concrete walls of a building are not enough to ward off a hurricane's full power. Storm winds can force water into masonry, causing them to weaken and crumble. Make sure your car is full of gas. Be aware of changing weather conditions around you, especially dark skies, rising winds, and rain. Put trash cans, gardening tools, barbecues, toys, outdoor furniture, and any other unconfined objects inside or attach them firmly to the ground. If you are near the coast, watch for incoming waves. If in the water or a boat, get to land immediately and find shelter from the storm. Make sure any water vehicles are securely fastened. Keep your ears open for storm warning updates. Fortify windows and close windows because hurricane winds can break windows. Try crisscrossing them with tape to make them more shatter-resistant. Take care that pets and animals are secure. Secure objects inside the house that could fly around. Check food, camping, and emergency equipment. Move people and valuables to the side away from the wind. Have fresh batteries for flashlights and portable radios. Store water in plastic bottles, jugs, pots, pans, and bathtubs. If you live in an R.V. or mobile home, leave to a designated shelter. Staying in a mobile home or beach house during is hurricane is also very risky, for they can be flattened, blown over, or swept away in floods. Those near shore are at risk from higher-than-normal waves. For those choosing to stay in mobile homes during the storm, try tying them down firmly with cables. People in low-lying areas need to seek shelter when hurricane warnings are issued. It is best to go to high ground 15 or 20 miles away from the coast, for hurricanes can bring ten-foot-high waves or higher. Leash pets or place them in carriers. Plan a quick, reliable escape route to safer high ground. During Stay inside the house if your home is built solidly on high ground. Do not try to rescue people or animals during the hurricane. Know that the eye of the storm is the calm center and can last from minutes to half an hour. Do not go outside until you hear the all-clear signal. Many of the people who perish in hurricanes are those who venture outside to see the damage, or those who try to swim or ride high ocean waves. During 1967's Hurricane Beulah, a 15-year-old Texan girl went surfing through the huge waves during the eye. She was drowned when the second part of the hurricane hit. Weather the storm inside a basement or storm cellar if you have one. If you do not have a basement or storm cellar, stay in the lowest story of the building. Remember to stay away from windows. In you are sitting in a wheelchair, set the brake and protect your head. If you are outside, find cover and get down. If you are driving, stop the car, get out, and find cover. Stay away from trees, buildings, windows, and power lines. For those living in the city, avoid downtown areas. Turn the refrigerator to maximum cold and open it as little as you can. Leave a few windows on the side away from the wind slightly open to prevent air pressing from building and blowing out walls. Eat the food that will perish most easily first. Don't use any tap water unless you are sure it isn't contaminated. Never stay outside to watch the storm because its fierce winds are extremely dangerous. You could be struck by flying debris or electrocuted by falling power lines. Huge waves and flood waters can sweep unwary people away. After Check for injuries and help the wounded if necessary. Dress in heavy shoes and clothing. If you must drive (avoid it if possible), be careful of debris and collapsible roads. Also watch out for landslides. Avoid rivers and streams. Turn on your radio or TV for information regarding flood warnings, shelter locations, road conditions, emergency first aid stations, and evacuation routes. If you need medical help, go to a Red Cross station. Keep out of the way of relief crews and emergency rescue workers. Look out for loose electrical wires, and report them to officials. Fallen power lines (especially those lying in water!), weakened tree limbs, reptiles, and collapsing structures are still dangers to be cautious of. Report broken water mains and sewers to the utility companies. Do not go into an unstable-looking house. Even after checking for gas leaks, don't light matches. Clean up any spills if possible. Do not use phones except for emergencies. Keep animals under control. If necessary, evacuate.

What a load of self-aggrandisement!
This is the same thing the UAW was saying just before GM went under. "we're the only way you're gonna get the outcome you're hoping for"
Uhh Toyota, BMW, Honda - all produced in non-union shops.Millions of vets home from our police actions overseas are lining up for these jobs 100s deep for every job. Get out of the way and give them a job.
This is a job that they are trained for and can do without batting an eye.How bout showing a little patriotism and freezing cop pay for the next 5 years, eliminating OT, and get your unions out of the way. Hiring patriots and heros to the local PD and SOs will allow good cops to spend more time with their famlies instead of working so many nights, weekends and holidays. Many more vets will be employed, more cops will be on the street, and your partner may have been shot at more times in one day than you have in your whole career.
Or is this a bad idea?
On the union issue, I can tell you that no US union is allowed to bargain or unionize in foreign lands. Foreign governments won't allow it. I honestly don't know why but I know that I couldn't bargain and we had no union where I was. But the foreign nationals had their union and they absolutely ruled. The company was 25% American and 75% foreigners. We pulled 75% of the load everyday of the week. They absolutely ruled us!
And it's tit for tat. We won't allow foreigners to setup shop on our turf either. So BMW, Toyota and Honda compensate by providing better environments and bennies for their employees. And unlike our US automakers, they had some sound business practices that didn't require their governments bailing them out.
Unions did some good stuff for the blue collared folks back in the good old days. It was pure "e pluribus unum" that built this country and put a chicken in every pot. To this day unions keep management on its toes. The other side of the coin became political, which drives us nuts. Union reps and upper-crusters started riding the vortex like rock stars. They don't work the floors and choose who to bat for and how hard to hit.
I agree with you on the vets. They should have priority for govt vacancies. Any Army or Marine infantry service member will most likely receive the most enemy fire upon deployment. But that doesn't qualify him for serving and protecting the public on the home front. Unfortunately many won't successfully complete the psych eval for LE positions because of PTSD. I believe graduating cadets spend unarmed time at the county to get weened for the streets so they're more well rounded and suited to determine threats in order to respond accordingly with necessary force. But yeah, in my opinion, the troops should have priority over everybody else.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
actual numbers, however, it's a fact that webbots and spiders comprise a large amount of today's Internet traffic and that many developers are required to both maintain existing webbots and develop new ones. Webbots Are Fun to Write In addition to solving serious business problems, webbots are also fun to write. This should be welcome news to seasoned developers who no longer experience the thrill of solving a problem with software or using a technology for the first time. Without a little fun, it's easy for developers to get bored and conclude that software is simply a rote sequence of instructions that do the same thing every time a program runs. While predictability makes soft- ware dependable, repetitiveness also makes software tiresome to write. This is especially true for computer programmers who specialize in a specific indus- try that lacks a diversity of tasks. At some point in our careers, nearly all of us become burned-out, in spite of the fact that we still like to write computer programs or create innovative business models. Webbots, however, are almost like games, in that they can pleasantly surprise their developers with their unpredictability. This is because webbots perform based on their changing environments, and they respond slightly differently every time they run. As a result, webbots become capricious and lifelike. Unlike other software, webbots feel organic! Once you write a webbot that does something wonderfully unexpected, you'll have a hard time describ- ing the experience to those writing traditional software applications.

I just got off the phone with big shot Hollywood filmmaker Bryan Singer who's newest film Valkyrie is coming out on December 25th. We spoke at length about the film, about Tom Cruise, about why people lose their minds with gossip about Tom Cruise and what it is like working with a man who can't sneeze without being on the front page of the New York Post. (See pic above for Singer on the set working with said man.) We'll have a full transcript of the conversation soon, but I wanted to get something to you as quickly as possible: Bryan Singer on Superman: Man of Steel:
Jordan Hoffman: Bryan, I have to ask you ..The Man of Steel! Superman!
Bryan Singer: I couldn't I wish I had an answer.
JH: I'm strapping you to a lie detector right now.
BS: (laughs) Yeah?
JH: You feel that on your arm?
BS: Yeah, yeah.
JH: That's me strapping a lie detector to you.
BS: Okay.
JH: Tell me something about Superman and you and your relationship together.
BS: I love Superman and I can not tell you anything else. I, uh
JH: Would you like to tell me something else? But you simply can't?
BS: I can't, I .no-no I wish I could! Yeah! I wish I could, but there's nothing I have to tell. I've got a world tour (laughs) press tour on Valkyrie, a premiere in New York, uh
JH: But there is talk of a new film, though. Are you officially involved in this talk of the new film?

Tennis Legend's Anti-Gay Remarks Spark Protest at Australian Open
Gay rights supporters will show their true colors at the Australian Open by wearing rainbow colored clothing and waving gay flags at the Australian Open in response to tennis legend Margaret Court's anti-gay comments about same-sex marriage, the Melbourne Herald Sun reported in a Jan. 24 article.
One of those supporters is a 17-year-old British tennis player, Laura Robson, who wore a rainbow colored ribbon in her hair during a match she played last week. The teen told the media that she was aware of Court's comments and said that she wore the rainbow ribbon "because I believe in equal rights for everyone."
Court, 70, was a former World No. 1 Australian tennis player and in 1970 became the first woman during the open era and the second woman in history to win all four Grand Slam tournaments in the singles division in the same calendar year.
The Herald Sun noted that Court was shocked about the backlash resulting from her anti-gay remarks and says she feels victimized. She also said that she did not mean to attack the LGBT community but wanted to "plea for the nation to retain its morals." The tennis champ went on to say that she would not change her beliefs and still plans to attend the Australian Open this week.
"To target me and the tennis is a political stunt," Court said. "I love them, I even work with them ... but what concerns me so much is the amount of hatred that has been directed at me. There have been some awful things."
"But I love my nation and I don't like seeing it in moral decline. I pray for it, I love it and I want to protect the young of the future. My heart is for the next generation."
Court also added that the LGBT community could live their life "without touching marriage as ordained by God."
Open lesbian and former World No. 1 tennis player Martina Navratilova commented on Court's remarks and said that her "view were outdated. It's not about any one person." Navratilova added, "It's not about religious rights, it's about human rights. She's only seeing it from one viewpoint."
"Margaret has expressed a personal view," Australian Open Director Craig Tiley said last week. "(We) do not share that view and believe everyone should be treated equally and fairly."

After musicOMH gallantly reported on the BRITS launch party, we thought the least we could do was watch the ceremony and follow this through to its Fern Cotton flavoured finale.
So. A few notes.
1. Hosts James Cordon and Gavin off t'Telly were, at best, average. A couple of unfunny and smutty gags were made up for - just - by a joyous dance to the Pet Shop Boys' Go West at the end. Kylie was DREADFUL.
2. Coldplay. Poor man's U2 or just poor? Military uniforms and drummers posing do not a triumphant concert make. And Chris was out of tune.
3. Take That. Flying saucer. Incredible. A BRIT moment for the highlights video - like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with added Gary Barlow. Even without the much touted Robbie comeback, this was superb entertainment.
4. Duffy. Care? Nein. M.I.A. was robbed.
5. We don't think the Pet Shop Boys were taking their performance seriously.
6. Elbow's shock best band award - couldn't have happened to a more deserving band. Humble, lovely and they even had a joke at David Hasslehof's expence on live TV. "Fancy a drink, Dave?"
7. The Cotton. God. There must be better out there, right? Perhaps The X-Factor should start auditioning presenters too.
8. And finally, are Kings Of Leon really that good? Really?
Anyone anything to add?

The Need for Control
In their aspiration to apply quantitative methods to technology in the hope of improving its efficiency and economy, the engineers of the 18th century found themselves hampered by their own boun-
daries as individuals. They had the ambition to reproduce the conditions of the laboratory in the field: to carry out systematic experiments under controlled and reproducible conditions. But this demanded a much larger spatial and temporal dimension than the laboratory—with its desktop apparatus and time scale of days or weeks. It was beyond the means of individuals to embrace the technical reality in time and space. In terms of space , their ambition required wooden structures weighing perhaps up to a ton (whether they were treadmills, charcoal piles, or waterwheels). It made even large spatial demands on the immediate surroundings, since it required such assets as large areas of forest, hundreds of men, or a substantial water supply. In terms of time , it required that several people work together on the experiments for several years. In short, considerable resources were needed to build these unwieldy pieces of experimental apparatus and to operate them for a period of years, and these resources were beyond the means of any individual.
This argument can be expressed in another way. To say that the spatial and temporal dimensions of technology demanded considerable resources if the conditions of the laboratory were to be reproduced in the field is the same as to say that one must be able to control the necessary physical and social realm in terms of time and space . This chapter began with the claim that efficiency and economy are the two quantities that characterize modern technology, and it will end by asserting that its qualitative characteristic is control .[54] Technology is an activity that aims at changes of the material world, and this always involves control.
It is therefore not by chance that the first successful attempt to apply quantitative methods to technology discoverable in Swedish history of technology was achieved at the naval dockyard in Karlskrona in the early 1770s. The case of the ninety soldiers, working in shifts at the pumps to dry-dock a frigate while Johan Eric Norberg stood over them with his watch and notebook, symbolizes a turning-point. It marked the beginning of the successful application of quantitative
methods in technology during the late Enlightenment. At that time, only the military possessed the necessary control over the physical and social realm to reproduce laboratory conditions in the field. It would be some time before civilian institutions grew strong enough to be able to exercise the same degree of control, for example, in the federally supported investigation of the Franklin Institute in the 1830s into the causes of steamboat boiler explosions.[55] These institutions were then strong enough in both authority and competence .
Although this study has been limited to a specific aspect of the question of the relationship between science and technology during the 18th century—the application of quantitative methods to technology—it may have some relevance for the more general question.[56] Roger Hahn has argued that one way to grasp the relationship between science and technology during the 18th century would be to examine the institutional development of technology, and in particular the many societies of arts that flourished in Europe on the model of the scientific academies. Science made an impact, Hahn wrote, "not only by lending its ideology, personnel and theories to technology, but also by offering its social organization as a model to be copied."[57] By copying the social organization of the scientific enterprise, these institutions "also accepted the presuppositions of science itself: rationality, objectivity and publicity."[58] Studies of the history of
individual societies, such as Robert E. Schofield's The Lunar Society of Birmingham ,[59] have demonstrated and elucidated this institutional development, but the question of their effectiveness in achieving technological change continues to puzzle historians. A. Rupert Hall has, for example, remarked that it requires "a degree of faith" to find a causal relationship between the popularity of science on the one hand and innovation in technology on the other.[60] But if the benefit of a union between science and technology was conceived only on a cultural level during the 18th century, why was it not put into effect on a political and economic level?[61]
This study suggests that we should continue our search for institutional developments, but look for projects that were undertaken by institutions rather than individual efforts. The characteristics to look for in these technological institutions are not only the rationality, objectivity, and publicity of their scientific counterparts but also the power to control the necessary physical and social realm in order to reproduce laboratory conditions in the field.
More specifically, we should look for institutions that exercised authority according to rank in hierarchies based on scientific and technical competence . The quest will lead us to that historical borderland that lies between the inquisitive academies of the 18th century and the efficient industries of the 19th century, to the period between 1790 and 1825, which has been recognized by Cardwell as one of the definite periods of decisive change in the course of technological history.[62] Not only were many of the major technologies of
the 19th and 20th centuries founded then, but "at the same time social changes took place in the organisation of technology and science setting them on the courses that led to modern technological society."[63]
One of the major social changes was the emergence of institutions that could exercise the necessary control for the successful application of quantitative methods to technology; first within the established structure of the military (military academies, arsenals and dockyards) and later in large industries of national-military importance (mining and chemical industry), major civil-engineering projects (canals), and new civilian institutions. These institutions are probably identical with those that Peter Mathias has called "focal points for developing new skills and educational programs" and that were sponsored by the demands of the state for deploying scientific technology for military or official purposes.[64]

Hi club penguin team, i just wanna say how greatfull I am to the club penguin founder. Club penguin is my number one priority when i go on my computer because I LOVE IT! Its imaginative, creative and FUN. I have also made a great friend on club penguin, her name is RosaIceberg, we love hanging out in our igloos and going to get pizza.

I heard about club penguin in my class, some boys were talking about there puffles disapearing, and i did'nt have a clue what they were talking about. So I searched puffle on my computer and there it was CLUB PENGUIN! As soon as I created a penguin in 2008 i could'nt stay off it! Club penguin is a magical place you can waddle around and met new friends! Please dont ever shut it down it's the best thing that ever happened in my I.C.T life lol.

Russian warships to patrol Syrian waters, deterring interventionJust a reminder whose side Vladmir Putin is on in the Syrian civil war. Haaretz: Assad has been playing this game for months. He'll agree to a proposal and then fail to follow through. It is extremely doubtful that "hundreds" of Arab League observers will be allowed into the country. If more than a handful of carefully selected observers, each with their very own minder, is allowed in, the world will be surprised. In the Libyan conflict, Russia was opposed but sat on the sidelines. This time, they mean to make a stand against any intervention ideas from the UN or the west. |

This storm comes at the perfect time for the election, Our economy is about to create a perfect storm, and you are voting for who to blame when its over and there is nothing left.
I am not a hater but WOW...more of the same....increase the national debt and inflation....through government borrowing....That didn't start in the seventies....it started 100 years ago with the establishment of the federal reserve....The government couldn't borrow money before then....
Please understand.....we don't need a 'balanced budget' amendment.....we need a 'government never ever borrows money again' amendment which includes a clause that a certain amount of available funds will go toward paying down the national debt. The budget will quite naturally be balanced and the national debt will be paid down in a timely fashion.

Do not get it twisted, though. The naked 848 is more than capable of whipping your helmet into your leather jacket's speed hump above the 7,000 RPM mark. Ducati engineers raided the production line parts bin when developing a light at the bars bike that swings through the corners and punches into the straights. Street-savvy tech like the 8-level adjustable Ducati Traction Control and Brembo radial mounted 4-piston calipers inspire confidence on wet roads, and when stopped traffic jumps out and tries to tag you.
The SF 848 may share near identical looks to the dashing Streetfighter S but as the MSRP will tell you, they are not the same. The technical breakdown of what makes this new naked unique has already been covered in-depth by each moto-mag that went to last year's Streetfighter 848 international press intro in Italy. A quick Google search for "first ride" or "review" of this bike will turn up a bevvy of facts like the millimeter differences in steering geometry that made it more agile than its bigger brother or the 20mm higher bars and 10mm wider footpegs that made it more comfortable for the street. That being said, we instead focused our time outside Palm Desert, California understanding what this bike meant for the average street rider—someone who has limited to no experience on a modern Ducati sportbike.
Helping put the ponies to the pavement is a wet clutch that feels heavy compared to Japanese supersports. It engages quickly and puts the torque to the road as fast as the DTC will allow. That brings us to the advanced traction control. At Level 8, it engages and harshly cuts acceleration on just about everything that isn't sticky flat pavement as it's designed for gravel or slick roads. Level 4 kept the front tire down more than we liked but was a safe bet in the twisties especially when there was road dust. The bike came alive when the system was off but you lose the safety net of torque control helpful when cracking the throttle out of a turn. We found our happy balance of control and fun factor at Level 2—wheelies are all part of the Streetfigther game and shouldn't be restricted by a computer.
Also helping the little fighter stay upright are extremely solid Brembo brakes and 320mm semi-floating discs up front. The bite comes on strong and does not let up until you do. They are no doubt designed for track use, which means they are awesome on the street. Completely capable for the everyday rider that has cash to spend the universal beauty of this bike is found when parked.
For many, the appeal of Ducati is the look. It's that Hollywood factor and the Streetfighter 848 has it in spades. It strikes a balance between sophisticated lines and mechanized evil that can't be argued with. It's like trying to look away from a bikini-clad supermodel shoving an assault rifle into your face. Futuristic LED striped eyes floating against naked forks followed by a superbike shaped tail sum up this streetfighter. It is the combination of cutting-edge technology in a raw package that tries hard to keep the rider comfortable. The tech is there, the looks are obvious and the appeal for some is the throaty twin—in traffic it shutters for life but on the open road it is a lot of fun.

This year's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will be the first one played outdoors in a cold climate, and could be the first one played in the snow. Fans love the idea of the game being played in the elements and believe bad weather is part of the football experience. But there's one other big part of the football experience that will not happen at the Super Bowl – and that's tailgating in the parking lot before the game.
The head of the NFL's Super Bowl committee announced that due to the heightened security planned in and around the stadium, no tailgating will be allowed. Only 13,000 parking spots will be available to fans, and each car and its occupants must remain inside the lines of the parking spot.
This, of course, means no buffet tables, barbecues or touch football games. Fans will be allowed to eat and drink in the parking lot, but they have to remain inside their parking spot, so no lounge chairs or tents can be set up. It's estimated that close to 80 percent of ticket-holders will get to the game via some sort of public transportation.
Black Girls Rock TV show founder Beverly Bond has finally responded to the #WhitegirlsRock hashtag that started trending on Twitter.
In an essay on The Root, Bond says she's a "humanist" who believes that "we all" rock. But she does say that the Black Girls Rock should get to have their own TV show and concert without anyone else catching feelings. "White women's beauty, talent, diversity and worldly contributions are affirmed everywhere: on billboards, on television, in magazines and in textbooks," argues Bond, adding, "However, the breadth and depth of the beauty, intellect, work and legacy of black women is often marginalized."
And as to the claims that Black Girls Rock promoted reverse racism, Bond says those who say that "fail to acknowledge the history of racism in media including the perpetual absence of diverse stories and representations of black women. They also fail to recognize that this absence impacts the way women and girls of color, around the world, see and value themselves."

Thala 2012 – A great experience!
Dancing is one of the many great talents that we can show off about Sri Lankan culture. Foreigners can learn a lot about our culture from our traditional dances. For example, the 'Gajaga Vannama', which shows the victorious and
graceful behaviour of elephants, shows that elephants are famous in Sri Lanka. Also, another good example is the dance – 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean', which was performed at the ICC Cricket World Cup opening ceremony by the Channa Upuli dancing troupe.
That dance shows the various traditions of dancing in different parts of Sri Lanka.Recently, the Channa Upuli dancing troupe presented 'Thala 2012' at the Nelum Pokuna theatre.
Since I am quite interested in dancing, I was very happy to watch such an exciting live concert in South Asia's biggest performing arts theatre!We witnessed many different dances from Sri Lanka, and also some unique drummers with various kinds of drums. The drums had a lively beat and they added more beauty to the dances.
Some of these drums were magul beraya, thammattama and davula. The dancers looked magnificent as they danced with all their hearts.
They had dazzling costumes and some of them did some breath-taking moves.The Nelum Pokuna theatre had some special effects which made us gasp with wonder. In the first dance item, the stage lifted in many layers and dancers came from above on ropes.
As I had never seen anything like that for real, except on television, it was all so magical! I am really happy and proud that �Sri Lanka has a theatre with all the modern facilities.
Although we were not allowed to take photos, this memorable event will be in my mind forever.

One Word in "The Night Before Christmas"
I am hung up on a little problem, and I need to write an essay about it. In short it relates to the evolution of the word peddler and the appearance of the word in Clement Clark Moore's famous poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ("The Night Before Christmas"). I will review the historical development of the term before examining the problem in "Visit."
The word pedler or pedlar or even pedeler or pedelare or pedlere appeared in English as early as the 14th century (OED s.v.) to denote a salesman who carries goods in a pack. It seemed, however, that the 16th century "normal" spelling was pedler (Spenser and Shakespeare have this spelling), while the mid-late 17th-19th century have the spelling as pedlar (Milton, Swift, Goldsmith). But the 19th century has attestations of both spellings, pedlar and pedler, to denote this character. According to the OED, it was only in 1872 that the spelling peddler was introduced, but at first this spelling had a negative connotation--to denote a person who trades in illicit merchandise. The spelling peddler was introduced in America at that time.
Clement Clark Moore and St. Nicholas
The most famous use of the word pedler/pedlar that is still familiar to people today was in the 1822 poem, "A Visits From St. Nicholas," which we know today as "The Night Before Christmas." Almost all scholars agree that Moore wrote it, though when it was published first on December 23, 1823 on p. 3 of the Troy Sentinel, it was printed without attribution. Clark's father had been President of Columbia and great things were expected of Clement Clark Moore. Therefore, he probably couldn't imagine how this little poem he composed for his six children before Christmas in 1822 was worthy of a person of his stature or aspirations. His wife, it is said, was the one who submitted the poem for publication.*
[*This type of attitude, that one's "lesser" works or works that are "popular" are not worthy of publication or worthy of the person producing them, still persists in the American academy. Indeed, it was very common in my doctoral program at an Ivy League school in the late 1970s/early 1980s for professors to denigrate works that were written to clarify a problem for a general audience by the appellation "popular." The people who usually put down "popular" works, I noted, were of two kinds: (1) those who themselves never wrote anything or; (2) those who couldn't explain how to get to get downstairs from their office without confusing their hearers. Wanting to honor my professors, I decided not to write things that were "popular." But, I threw that out the window when I realized that this prejudice was more a function of their inabilities than of any requirement of the field. Indeed, my doctoral program did me much damage in this way.]
The Problem in a Nutshell**
[**As I study the poem and have corresponded with the world expert on it and its history, Ms. Nancy H. Marshall, I realize that most other people who want to talk about the evolution of language in the poem are concerned with "Donder and Blitzen." Everyone, it seems, wants to clarify what these two reindeer were originally called and how their names evolved over time. I don't have any quarrel with any who want to do that; it just seems that no one else is interested in the "pedlar" problem.]
But here is the issue. Ms. Marshall assures me of the following. CC Moore's original hand-written copy of the poem, composed in 1822, is lost. The four extant holograph (handwritten by Moore) copies of the poem all have the spelling "pedlar," and the copyright version, published in an anthology of his poems in 1844 (Poems) has the following, with respect to St. Nicholas:
"He looked like a pedlar just opening his pack."
Thus, pedlar it seems to be. However, we run into some problems. The 1836 version, printed in the Rural Repository (online here), has the word spelled peddler, and a December 23, 1837 version in the NY Mirror has the spelling as pedler. But Parley's Magazine from December 1838 has the spelling as pedlar.
So, what do you do with all of this? I decided to call the Troy Public Library in NY State, which is the repository of the original newspaper in which it was printed. The reference librarian assured me this morning that the original printing on Dec. 23, 1823 of the poem had the word spelled peddler. Now, we have a real problem, for it seems to suggest that we have the spelling of the word as peddler 1/2 century before the OED says we do.
If indeed the librarian told me the truth, and librarians never lie, and because of the spelling of the word as peddler also in the 1836 Rural Repository, the OED has a problem, because it says that the first attestation of peddler was in 1872 to describe a nefarious character. Well, to be fair to the OED, it doesn't actually say that the spelling peddler never appeared before that time, but the impression given by their entry is that you only have pedlar or pedler before the 20th century to describe the person who sells goods out of his pack.
Whether St. Nicholas actually was a pedlar or pedler or peddler, this little detour illustrates a fascinating problem in mid-19th century orthography, a problem that really wasn't "solved" until early in the 20th century. But this takes us further afield into the world of standardization of spelling, a fascinating topic in itself, but far beyond what I want to do now. Let's accept, then, the Dec. 23, 1823 spelling of peddler for one who sells goods out of a pack in an itinerant manner as the first attestation of that spelling in English. I will so argue--at least until someone proves me wrong.
Please go to this essay for my attempt to push back the date of the first appearance of the spelling of "peddler" beyond 1823.

MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) will conduct an investigation into the death of a suspect while in the custody of the Manila Police District (MPD).
Nestor Delizalde Jr. was arrested for the killing of Banco de Oro executive Evelyn Tan, her mother Teresa and their household helper Cristina Bartolay in their house in Sta. Cruz, Manila last November 11.
He was shot dead after allegedly trying to grab the gun of one of his police escorts.
"Ang dalas-dalas na niyan sa Maynila kaya naghihinala na ako na sobrang napakahina...kasi kung totoo 'yan na nangaagaw ng baril itong mga suspects eh nangangahulugan lang na napaka-incompetent ng ating mga kapulisan," CHR Chief Etta Rosales said.
Rosales said gun-grabbing incidents where suspects end up dead, seemed to be happening only in Manila.
"Bakit dito lang sa Maynila nangyayari yan? Kaya naghihinala na ako na either kulang na kulang talaga ang training sa kanila or its an unwritten policy na pinababayaan na lamang in which case talagang masasabi kong gross violation of human rights ito," she said.
She added that such incidents taint the name and reputation of the police force.
The CHR chair also criticized the MPD for failing to protect the rights of the accused.
"Hindi nila tinitiyak na may protection ang rights of the accused," she said.
For his part, MPD Deputy Director Senior Superintendent Robert Po said an investigation is also being conducted regarding the incident.
"Itong huling insidente ng panga-agaw ng baril, ito po ay pina-iimbistigahan na namin," Po said.
They are likewise determining if Delizalde's police escorts were the same group who were involved in a similar incident in the past.
"If they are the same policemen, there's something wrong with it. Pero kung iba't-ibang pulis naman at laging naaagawan itong galing sa isang unit, amin pong titingnan kung kinakailangang sila ay magsanay or mag-undergo ng further training on firearms handling," he said.
Po said police escorts will be slapped with an administrative case for negligence.
"Kung may complaint sa mga kamaganak ng namatay pinapatawan naman namin ng homicide and its up to them to justify their action before the court," he explained.

Does my little boy love his grandma more than he loves me?
Laura Kemp
My mum is my hero - I've looked up to her all my life. So when I gave birth to her first grandchild, it was only natural to want her there from the first contraction to the last push. When my little boy popped out, she fell in love. And I'm ashamed to say I've been competing for her attention ever since.
I expected a lot of things when I was pregnant: the pain of labour, the tiredness of the first few months and the support I'd need from my mum. But I never expected to be consumed by the little green monster.
My mum and I have always been close. Our relationship is easy, fun and respectful. We make each other laugh, and we share interests. She's not my best friend - she's more than that. That's why I felt excluded when her grandson came along and I saw a side to her I had never seen before.
Baby love: Paddy with his doting grandmother, Sue, and mother Laura
As a working mother (she had a job as a bank cashier), she had an awful lot of juggling to do, raising two girls with my dad, who also worked very hard to give us whatever we wanted.
We joke about it now, but she was the disciplinarian and Dad was there for playtime. We knew we had to sit down at the table at mealtimes, homework always came first, and we were only allowed sweets and chocolate on Saturday evenings.
Her rod of iron is a distant memory now. Now retired, her child-rearing duties have subsided as I've grown up. And ever since my son Paddy arrived nearly two years ago, she has blossomed into a hopelessly doting grandmother. While I've become anxious about the minutiae of motherhood - How much has he slept? How much has he eaten? Is that a rash or just a speck of strawberry on his cheek? - she's suddenly transformed into Easy-going Grandma.
The effort she once put into giving me a healthy diet is now being channelled into giving my son treats, such as cake and chocolate, despite my cries of 'But he won't eat his tea now!' It's not that she can't say no to him: it's that she won't. She wants to make him happy - and he comes first now, not me.
She used to drum into me as a girl the importance of anticipation; why I had to wait for things and savour the moment. So why can't she now walk past a shop without buying him something?
Easy-going : Grandparenthood is far more enjoyable than motherhood
A trip to the park involves a detour past the newsagent so she can get him a Thomas The Tank Engine comic, while a walk to the library means stopping off for an iced bun No wonder he adores her! I'm always cast as the villain, saying 'No' to her 'Yes, yes, yes!'. It's not surprising he has a special spot for her.
From the second he began to recognise her voice, he has always worshipped her. In a show of remarkable devotion, she would sing to him softly (I'd never heard her voice before because she was always so embarrassed by it), and cradle his head in her hands, resting him on her lap as she bounced her knees up and down to soothe him.
So why am I so jealous? It's because she is enjoying grandparenthood far more than she ever did motherhood. She's very open about it: she says she has all of the fun but none of the hassle, the disciplining, the tears or the guilt. It made me feel I wasn't as precious or loved by her.
It's not that I want her to stop being so sweet to her grandson. I see the joy shared by 'Nanny' and Paddy, and I've grown to love watching them together. I've realised it's my job to be a mum, the way she was to me, while she gets to run riot with my son. She shows a patience with him that she never showed me, a dedication to the detail of amusing him.
It takes just one look from her and he's in fits of laughter. One of his first words was a delighted cry of 'Beast!', which she calls him as she chases him round the house. This is the woman who never took part in the mothers' race at sports day when I was a girl! When she's gone, his shoulders droop and there is a sadness which requires an immediate dose of ice cream.
I cherish their relationship, but how many other mothers will recognise that nagging feeling of jealousy I feel when they're having fun and I'm cleaning the kitchen and making the dinner yet again?
Doting: A grandparent feels less protective than a parent and so is free to enjoy the fun in the relationship
Sue Kemp, 62, is now retired. She lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, with her husband Albert, 62, a retired insurance underwriter. She says:
Laura once said to me that if there was a fire, we'd all rescue Paddy without a thought to anyone else - and I agreed. Everyone else can take a running jump. He may be nearly two, but in my eyes he can do no wrong. Being a grandmother is liberating because I have none of the worry I had with my own children; the worry that Laura is having to cope with now.
It's a role reversal of sorts, because she is going through what every mum feels. Her love for Paddy, like mine, is unconditional, but for her there are all sorts of protective urges, which I feel but which aren't so acute.
She is trying to do her best and provide Paddy with a routine which gives him a feeling of security. But when I see him, my heart somersaults and rules my head. And why not? I've raised my girls, and now it's my prerogative to spoil him. And with that comes a bond unlike any parental bond. I'll leave the telling off to his mum - that's not my job.
When we are together, Paddy is the centre of my world, and when we're apart, I miss him dreadfully. There's an aching to see his little face light up and to hear him jabbering away in his funny little way. We really do have a special relationship. The whole family laughs at how he follows me around like a lamb.
And in all honesty, it's so flattering to be loved back. It's as if I have a second chance - the opportunity to do all the fun things and messing around you have no time to do as a mother because there's breakfast to be made or washing to be done. I returned to work when Laura, my youngest, was at primary school.
The beauty of being retired means now I have more energy to devote to the things I love. My relationship with Laura has changed - but for the better over time. I think she understands you have to give everything as a mother when you have a child, and that because that is so all-consuming, it is a good thing to have immediate family around to help.
One thing I would say to her is to enjoy her son more. She can be so obsessed with the schedule of his life that she forgets he just needs her focus, and that the housework can wait.
Easier said than done, I know, but I've been there and a lot of their childhood is lost to my memory because of that. If she feels she has to book an appointment to get my attention now, she's right - because I'll probably be busy with Paddy.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
In one of the stranger on-again/off-again stories in Hollywood, it has been reported that the live-action American remake of Japanese anime film 'Akira' has officially been given the green light by Warner Brothers. The film, now under the direction of 'Unknown' director Jaume Collet-Serra, has been slated to begin filming in late Feburary/early March of next year. So after a weird silence, changes in the budget, and changes in personnel, it looks like this thing is really happening. And apparently, the studio is set on casting 'Tron: Legacy's Garrett Hedlund in the lead role though no official deal has yet been made.
I still cannot understand why Warner Brothers, or any studio for that matter, is so keen on doing a live-action remake of 'Akira.' First, I don't know how they are going to be able to digitally recreate all the visually-arresting effects and action sequences without the film costing far more than its $90 million. And also, I just can't conceive of the impetus to repackage this film for wider American audiences. Those who are already fans of 'Akira' are not in favor of an American live-action remake, and those who have no idea what 'Akira' is are going to be a tough sell. I am also not at all sold on Garrett Hedlund both in this role or as an actor in general.
Would you guys have any interest in the new 'Akira?' Are you fans of the original?

That's some bullshit. they need to stop doing these live-action remakes of anime, case in point FIST OF THE NORTHSTAR. Eventhough that one was ok, the characters weren't supposed to be Japanese. But in the case of AKIRA it takes place in JAPAN! Why the fuck call it AKIRA if you're gonna cast a bunch of white people? Hollywood is fuckin run by retards!
Wow. I was thinking about making a facetious comment about "butthurt" but that would be meaningless. Instead, I'd like to point people towards a heated discussion on this matter which brings up some very pertinent points that I think a lot of fans have not considered: http://twitchfilm.com/news/2011/10/on-why-crying-about-remakes-is-a...
BTW, @John Lambo, if that was a real poster, people would likely be lining up to watch the fuck out of it, and the aforementioned article poses some excellent points as to why that would not be a bad thing at all.

Next time you see someone punching away at an ugly lap top computer remember portable writing desks were once things of beauty.

i'm so happy to see Murakami on the list. though i also want to see Confucius there, he's real great too.
i'm so happy to see Murakami on the list. though i also want to see Confucius there, he's real great too.
Actually such lists are made under some criterion which may vary from organization to organization. Therefore, people, sometimes, don't agree with such ranking. To me the list is nice giving every writer his or her right place.
Minor cardiac event seeing Shaekspeare at #2. But, this explains. Steinbeck at #5, and Chaucer at #90 or so. This is a joke, right?
The list isn't exactly the same as my personal list would be, four authors are off by one place, two by two places and one even by four places! Why, I ask you, is that author off by four places? This list is absurd, ridiculous and a joke! What kind of illiterate idiot would make such a list?!
If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.
some of it is opinion, but some ratings are factually accurate. Rating Shakespeare #1 by any standard of rational judgment, and, ommitting second rate literary pretenders such as Steinbeck off of a list of top #100 books where inclusion of such jeopardizes credibility of the entire list. If you see such a list and Steinbeck at #5, what are you to make of the list, and who it was that voted on it?
I already I'm going to get some pissed of American Lit major come after me for this, but does Steinbeck really deserve to be 5th on this list?
Just my opinion.
Does anyone like Louisa may Alcott?
Interesting that almost none of the most popular contemporary writers are on this list, except for Murakami.
In my view Joyce doesnt deserve to be so high.
But i am very biased, because i had only (tried to) read Ulysses, which after some chapters becomes utterly unreadable in my view
Newbie Here.
Has anyone seen the episode of Two and a Half Men where Allen has a freak attack in the bookstore over his lack of reading of the classics...............well, I feel very much the same just now after having read the list.
Good Lord where will I find the time to whittle that list down ? And how on earth did I get to this age and not have checked off more of those names?
What a wonderful group of people I have found.
Each day is to be cherished, regardless of the condition of delivery.
I cannot believe Nietzsche is so far below in the list. His prose is remarkable, explosive, and it glimmers with insights into the human condition. Dickens may very well be an excellent story-teller, but I would reconsider in placing him in the top 10 authors of all time. What has his contribution been to society? A portrayal of the sordidness of industrial London?
I agree, Murakami is an innovative writer. Kafka on the Shore is one of my favorite novels even though the story is tedious in certain parts.
Furthermore, any list of literary authors sans Gabriel Garcia Marquez must have serious flaws. I suppose this list indicates the culture and exposure of its audience.
It is interesting that the vast majority of the writers in this list are either European or American. Coetzee is also deserving.
I have no blood in these veins
but words that run as coarse
and dark as when they first
encounter arteries of secrets
that burst onto this page.

Denholm Mitchell Elliott was a distinguished British character actor, well known for his stage, film & television work. He specialized in playing slightly sleazy/slightly eccentric & flawed upper middle class English gentlemen. His career spanned nearly 40 years, becoming a well-known face both in UK & the USA.
Denholm Elliott was born in London & made his film debut in 1949. He went on to play a large range of parts in films as diverse as Alfie, Trading Places, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Brimstone & Treacle, Maurice, & my favorite film of all time- A Room with a View. He was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his role as Mr.Emerson in my favorite film.
Although gay, Elliott was married 2 times (the first time to the British actress, Virginia McKenna) & starting in 1962, he had an open marriage to actress Susan Robinson, with whom he had 2 children.
Susan had long since become reconciled to her husband's boyfriends, & seldom felt jealous.On one occasion when he brought one of them, a young Moroccan, home to London; as a gesture of defiance she enjoyed an affair with a famous French actor while on vacation on Ibeza, & was reassured to find herself still attractive & desirable, & with no feeling of guilt. Her own sex life with her husband remained active. Susan Elliot:"Between us, he was always 100 percent masculine, both in bed & in taking decisions in our home life."
The assignations increased in number & frequency as the years passed until, as Susan noted in her biography- Denholm Elliott, Quest For Love, her husband's promiscuity became "almost a psychological disorder". Denholm Elliott was diagnosed with HIV in 1987, & died in 1992 of AIDS-related tuberculosis at his home on Ibiza, Spain. He was cremated. His widow set up a charity, the Denholm Elliott Project, in a hotel complex on Ibiza called Can Bufi, where people who are HIV positive could enjoy a free holiday.
Susan Elliott died in a fire at her home in London on April 12, 2007.

World Child has been placing children from Russia and Kazakhstan since adoptions were first permitted by those countries. We have grown through word of mouth, by being there for our adoptive families when they need us throughout the adoption process and providing the necessary guidance to enable them to find and adopt their children. We have always had great pride in our work in and feel that we have always been able to provide great service to our adoptive families in all adoption programs.
We have always maintained that it is imperative that the information we receive about the social and medical history of the children in countries we work in is complete and trustworthy. We also have selected countries in which the adoption processes are reliable and can be completed in a timely manner. Finally, we need to have the faith in our overseas teams in all countries to assure that our families will be led through the adoption process, both prior to and during travel, in a professional, courteous manner.
