Once upon a time, there was a birdhouse builder who found a way to use scrap wood that otherwise would have been thrown into the fireplace.
The craftsman's name was Ron Pavelka, and he constructed storybook bird abodes like the one pictured above in his little workshop located in Orange, California.
"I've built many of these storybook birdhouses for friends and family," Ron shares. "They use them to decorate their gardens and yards...the style is different, and I get lots of compliments on them."
All you'll need to add to this house is a colorful paint job.
"You can easily alter the plan to suit your own taste," Ron adds. "You'd be surprised how a difference in color choice changes its appearance."
One word of caution-because there's a lot of wood and glue in this project, the birdhouse weighs about 8 pounds when finished. So we suggest mounting it in a sturdy place, such as on a post or on a deck rail. That way, you can be sure the feathered family that moves in will live happily ever after.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables, Jaws is coming back to take another bite out of the city.
The 1975 Steven Spielberg thriller, the smash film that basically created the summer movie blockbuster, will be the premiere screening at the new Rediscover the Miracle Community Film Series at Actors' Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre.
The film, which screens Aug. 31 and Sept. 1, was chosen to launch the series because practically everyone of a certain age who grew up in South Florida caught the shark tale at the Miracle 38 years ago.
"That's where I saw Jaws and I have been scarred for life," joked Silvia Clarke, 50, of Miami Shores. "I was 12 years old and my parents were getting a divorce. My mom took my brother — 8 at the time — and me to the movies to see Jaws. She never imagined this movie would be so intense. When the movie was over, she had a massive headache. I can't help laugh remembering how frazzled my mom was after the movie. It was a good experience and I'm glad the theater is still around. So much of what we remember growing up doesn't exist anymore."
WSVN-7 Deco Drive personality Louis Aguirre, 46, also remembers a childhood Jaws screening at the Miracle in that summer of '75.
"That's the theater my dad took me to go see Jaws back in '75. I was so excited, terrified and happy at the same time. I remember it well. Great father-son bonding moment. How great they're playing it there again," he said.
These boomer memories, of course, are a major reason for the theater's choice of Jaws to kick start the series. The other films — including Annie Hall, Midnight in Paris and the current version of The Great Gatsby — were chosen because they dovetail nicely with the performing arts theater's play and musical offerings for its 26th season.
Meanwhile, a single late-night screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in October and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation serve as Halloween and Christmas holiday offerings.
"People are absolutely going crazy over the idea of this series and when they hear Jaws, they all remember," said Actors' Playhouse executive director Barbara Stein.
The theater also hopes to bring in the younger generations, in keeping with Coral Gables Mayor Jim Cason's oft-stated desire to have more youthful offerings on the Mile and downtown to keep its business professionals and residents from having to go to Coconut Grove, South Beach and the Design District for date-nights and other activities.
"We wanted to develop the younger generation audience in their 20s and 30s who like to stay out late but are sick of the bar scene," Stein said.
The movies are free to the public — a donation at the door is welcome after you RSVP ahead of time. There also will be refreshments on sale to help offset the rental cost of the films, which run between $250 for Woody Allen's Annie Hall and $550 for the cult favorite Rocky Horror.
"This is going to bring a lot of enthusiasm and excitement for who we are, what we are doing here and what people remember us for and make people think more about the plays," Stein said of the city-owned theater, which recently restored its marquee to its original '40s glory.

I often ask myself, what would Abraham and Sarah do today?
Where would they set up their tent?
One of the places that I am sure they would be is this weekend, is in Watkins Glen, New York, hanging out with tens of thousands of groupies of the band Phish.
I'll be helping to lead Shabbat services and hospitality somewhere in the midst of Phish Super Ball IX, one of the summer's biggest music and camping festivals.
There will be tents of all shades and colors and sizes. Large colorful flags flying in the wind. Streams of people in all manner of costumes and garb, will be winding their way through a maze of cars and canopies, BBQ's and drum circles, and enough tie-dyes to make the 60's jealous.
The festival is built around the band Phish, a touring rock band, that can only be compared to the Grateful Dead in terms of the scope of their influence. But you can read about Phish online.
The Shabbat Tent — also known as Shabbos Tent to those Ashkenazically inclined — was born at Phish's New Year's Millennium Show on Big Cyprus Indian Reservation, FL in 2000. Jews from all walks of life participated in the inaugural year, and a tradition was born.
Shabbat Tent's profile was raised through the roof when MATISYAHU hosted Shabbat Tent at Bonnaroo in Tennassee, and subsequently at Wakarusa in Arkansas, Langerado in Florida, and other festivals. The Shabbat Tent team has also created Shabbat hospitality at Southern California's premier festival, Coachella, Gathering of the Vibes in the North East and dozens of Phish concerts around the country.
Our Shabbat Tent at Watkins Glenn will provide the overly represented number of Jews at Phish shows a place to celebrate Shabbat in whatever capacity they find meaningful.
We'll provide a vegan and kosher food for the Friday night dinner for 300 to 500, a Saturday kiddush, a third meal for 200 to 300 people and continuous snacks. There will be a Carlebach-style Kabbalat Shabbat, Torah reading on Saturday and a musical Havdalah.
I will join a dozen other friendly volunteers from around the country "that love music and Judaism," in the words of one volunteer, "and want to help make the world a better place." (There are actually more volunteers and willing participants to do this around the country than there are funds to coordinate and sponsor.)
I picture our mission as creating a mobile Abraham & Sarah tent, a place for people to share Shabbat, with food, song, prayer and good vibes as part of the general festival experience.
Unlike Christian missionary tents, buses and installations, our Shabbat Tent is not a place for preaching of religion or Jewish missionary work. Shabbat Tent is also open to anyone, without regard for religion, ethnicity, or background, who wish to spend time in the tent.
We will let you know the exact location of the Shabbat Tent on our Facebook page, website, and via Twitter.
Then there is the obvious question: Why are so many Jews seem drawn to festival-friendly music and Phish in particular?
My research shows that Jews are drawn to transcendent collective experiences. Really, it makes sense because our collective Jewish consciousness began 3,500 years ago in the Sinai desert — at a camping festival —and it's continued throughout our history.
The three major Jewish festivals — Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot — were times of mass pilgrimage, camping, and music too. So it's not surprising that we are drawn to these festivals in great numbers, because it is a part of being Jewish to want to connect and transcend our individuality with others.
Jewlicious, the organization that I direct, started a Jewish camping and music festival last summer called Camp Jewlicious at Brandeis Bardin. The aim of Camp Jewlicious is not unlike other festivals, and we will be hosting hundreds of people in bunks, tents, and cottages throughout the Brandeis campus for four days of music, outdoor activities, and camp fun. Our goal is to create the biggest Jewish music and camping festival in America. Israelis have many such festivals, Bombamella being the biggest with 20,000 or more people annually.
If you are interested in more of the history and philosophy and logistics of our Shabbat Tent, check out a great article about this year's Shabbat Tent at Phish Festival published by Josh Fleet in The Jewish Week.
Stay tuned for another update soon.
Peace and Blessings.

If you want to help those children learn Hebrew, then sign up today for Sifriyat Pijama , a new program delivering Hebrew children's stories to Israeli-American and other Jewish-American families to read at bedtime.
Just today I was speaking with yet another couple about Hebrew, or rather, the lack of Hebrew, in their lives. They feel alienated from furthering participation in Jewish religious life because they don't know Hebrew, and feel unable to pass on their love of Judaism — or Hebrew – to their kids.
For centuries we have worked very hard to pass on Hebrew from generation to generation. And Hebrew has persisted against all odds because it binds together the people who have defied all the odds.
Today Hebrew is THE international Jewish language. The largest single Jewish society in the world, Israel, uses Hebrew. More Jewish books are published each year in Hebrew than in any other language. More Jewish music is released in Hebrew. Most Jewish newspapers in the world are written in Hebrew. More movies with Jewish themes are released in Hebrew. Nuf said, you get the picture.
In my upcoming book, Teach Your Children Well: 50 Reasons To Send Your Child To Jewish Day School, I focus on the importance of teaching your kids Hebrew from a young age. One of the reasons is because Hebrew is the key to understanding who we are, what we believe in, and where we are going.
Thanks to Sifriyat Pijama , the Israeli counterpart of the American PJ Library which has been distributing Jewish values-based books to kids and parents, thousands of Jewish families and kids will have a better chance to grasp Hebrew. If the popularity of PJ Library is any yardstick, this program will be very popular. Jewish parents want to educate their children Jewishly more than any time in the last two generations. PJ Library is so successful that it has franchised across the country, with approximately 170,000 subscribers.
Adam & Gila Milstein, creative and passionate philanthropists who are major sponsors of our Jewlicious Festival, saw the success of PJ Library, and saw a great opportunity to spread the concept to Hebrew. They have launched Sifriyat Pijama from Los Angeles, home to the largest Israeli ex-pat community in the America, together with the Israeli Leadership Council, and the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
Until today most of these Hebrew bedtime story books were only available in Israel. Thanks to Pijama, they will be distributing Hebrew bedtime stories for free starting this school year to 1,000 families.
The reason they are handing out free books? To strengthen Jewish identity in children.
"We believe that by learning about Jewish values from a young age, and hearing stories in Hebrew," said Adam Milstein said, "Jewish children are more likely to share a strong appreciation and affinity for their shared Jewish culture and language."
How do you qualify? If you have children ages 3-5 year old kids in the United States that wish to read books in Hebrew to their young kids before bed time — you qualify.
Deadline for registering is July 15th, in order for the registrants to receive the entire set for the 2011-2012 school year.
I'm signing up right now for my kids.

When tragedy struck in Birmingham, Ala., a few weeks ago, killing scores of people and leaving thousands of residents destitute, a group of Jews saw a chance for mitzvot. Heading out from their home base outside of Minneapolis, a team of disaster relief and recovery experts drove their emergency trailers 1,000 miles to Alabama. They were joined by dozens of other Jewish volunteers who raced there from other parts of the country. While most of us watched on CNN, these volunteers were on the ground helping repair and clean up, providing skills, hard work and comfort — nechama — to the badly damaged city.
Along with a few friends, Minneapolis-based financial planner Steve Lear started Nechama in 1996 as a voluntary organization providing cleanup and recovery assistance to homes and communities affected by natural disaster. Since then, Nechama has dispatched thousands of volunteers and has five to 40 volunteers out in the field on any given day. Nechama maintains a database of 3,500 willing disaster relief volunteers and relies entirely on private donations.
Today, Nechama's professional staff is busy in Birmingham helping recovery efforts after the deadliest tornadoes in American history wreaked untold damage. The volunteers are sleeping on the floor of an Orthodox synagogue and are being fed by local volunteers.
Nechama complements the work of the Red Cross and other agencies in disaster areas. These relief mavens provide tools and equipment and manage volunteers who are not affiliated with any organization. This element of volunteer supervision is essential because without it, volunteers can create additional problems for communities that have just been hit by a disaster.
While each response is unique, Nechama tries to find volunteers housing in synagogues, churches and community centers, and then find other volunteers to feed the group. Their multiple trucks and trailers and trained staff can be dispatched at a moment's notice.
Inspiration can also be found in recent college graduate Elie Lowenfeld, who founded the Jewish Disaster Response Corps (JDRC) after spending a summer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with AmeriCorps. While helping there after record flooding in 2008, he noticed that all the volunteer groups were Christian and went on to create the JDRC in Tennessee.
The American Jewish community's response to global disasters from Haiti to Japan has been generous and largely focused on what is really needed in those disaster zones: money. Millions of dollars have been raised to help when disaster strikes. What is unique about Nechama and JDRC is that they are mobilizing volunteers who leave their lives and families at a moment's notice and will dedicate days, weeks, even months to hands-on cleanup, recovery and relief here at home.
We need more.
We need Nechama chapters established across the country as local community disaster response teams that can also be recruited to other regions of the country when large-scale tragedies strike. With a precarious economy and a poor job market, the time is ripe for the establishment of chapters of volunteers across the country.
According to Jim Stein, executive director of Nechama, this is what it takes: funds to hire an operations coordinator, donated office space for a response and planning center, and $100,000 to buy and equip a disaster response trailer.
The operations coordinator will be responsible for coordination with local disaster relief agencies, educating the community, and recruiting and managing volunteers. Also helpful is the creation of a local volunteer committee that can assist the coordinator and multiply the effectiveness of the chapter.
"We are also expanding our services to disaster victims by recruiting Jewish professionals who can help victims navigate insurance and government bureaucracies," Stein said by phone from his office in Minnesota.
Nechama is also in the process of "creating a national board, a division dedicated to rebuilding efforts and a chaplain division to provide pastoral resources to victims," he added.
Nechama is just the kind of grass-roots organization that American Jews need to support and grow so that it can engage multiple generations. It needs to be kept free of politics, prejudice and power struggles.
As the Talmud teaches, when a person is trapped under a building, screaming to get out, it doesn't matter if he is a Jew or a non-Jew, whether it is Shabbat or a weekday, or whether he voted for Obama or McCain. What matters is the preservation of life and human dignity.
In my address to college graduates ("Graduates, Your Mountain Is Waiting," Jewish Journal, June 2), I mentioned the great need for volunteers to help in places ravaged by natural disasters. From Pierre, S.D., to Birmingham, Ala., and from Joplin, Mo., to Greer, Ariz., American communities lay in ruins and their citizens need a hand. Nechama is the Jewish answer to disaster relief, and I believe part of the solution to the broader issue of building Jewish unity and opening new ways for young Jews to connect.

My two youngest sons, aged four and eight, hid some notes for me under the decorative challah cover Friday night. As I went to make the ceremonial blessing over the challah, in front of a dozen guests, five letters slipped out onto the table. My little angels were beaming at me, excited that I would be reading these notes at that moment perched between the benediction over the wine, and the bread. At that awkward moment, between washing our hands, and blessing over the bread which mark the start of the traditional Sabbath dinner, Father's day arrived.
The notes, written in crayon on paper, were expressions of love, even claiming that I might in fact be the "Greatest Dad in the World."
"Really?" I think to myself, "what have I done lately to deserve that kind of accolade and recognition?" As if there were such a metric to be measured, some kind of nationwide American Dad competition.
I start running through things I did recently. Yes, I fixed the broken window that had been shattered the previous weekend when a stray fly-ball smashed through the second floor bedroom window.
I bought a big balloon that said "CONGRATS!" for the kids when they finished the school year. (Really that balloon was for my wife, who survived another year of homework.)
"What have I done to deserve any recognition of my contribution to Fatherhood," I contemplated, "Beyond ensuring that they are clothed, fed, safe from harm, consoled, encouraged, nurtured and…"
And then it hit me this morning. "...I'm proud to be your Dad."
Yes, I am proud of you when you mess up, and when you hit a home run. I'm proud of you when you smile at the frozen yogurt machine, as the delicious dessert starts oozing its way from the machine, and when you are inconsolable after the Lego ship was smashed into little pieces when I stepped on it on my way out of their bedroom.
I'm proud of you when you refuse to be cowed into submission by irate adults who take out their own parenting issues on you, and then can't be grown-up enough to apologize.
I'm proud of you when they show self-restraint as you pass by candies and delights that don't bear a kosher symbol, and I am proud of you when you can't stop pleading with me for what you say you need most in life — another one of those $7 plastic toys made China that transform from a ball to monster and back.
Kids, I'm proud to be your dad, and always will be. But I wonder, what have I done to deserve your pride in me?
That you continue to be proud of me —
with me losing my temper,
working too hard,
missing graduation from Kindergarten,
having to make time for pastoral counselling at all hours of the day,
marking you as the rabbi's kids without your consent,
imploring you to not punch one another,
to be nicer to your mom,
making you brush your teeth,
being allergic to dogs, cats, and other furry pets,
withholding from you the Disney Channel, cheeseburgers, Heelys, motorized scooters, BB guns and other potentially lethal influences—
is the greatest gift in the world that I could ever have.
Kids, thank you for continuing to believe in me, as much as I believe in you.
Happy Father's Day,

What is the world's most famous Jewish musician doing in Poland this weekend? He is bringing the message of "One Day" to Auschwitz:
"One day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we'll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom"
"One Day," a world-wide anthem of peace, was NBC's official song of the Winter Olympics, and played at the World Cup concluding ceremonies.
Matisyahu's performance in Oświęcim, the Polish city renamed Auschwitz in 1939 by the Nazis, is the brainchild of Darek Maciborek, a radio DJ for Poland's most popular station for young adults. Maciborek has built a three-day music and camping festival to promote tolerance called Life Festival, which attracted 15,000 young Poles last summer. The Festival is dedicated to battling anti-Semitism, racism, and other forms of xenophobia and to send a message of peace and tolerance from Auschwitz/Oświęcim.
This mega-music Festival is the latest incarnation of efforts to offset the immense evil perpetrated there. Oświęcim is home to a German educational center. Young Germans who choose to perform their national service at the Auschwitz State Museum reside and study there. The Auschwitz Jewish Center is also located there. This precious museum, built by American Jews, the Polish Government, and the city of Oświęcim, resides in the ancestral home of the Kornreich family to commemorate hundreds of years of Jewish life in Oświęcim before the war.
There are some who feel that Auschwitz should be condemned forever as a place of evil, and that efforts to bring a festival, a tolerance center, or visitors' center are misplaced, if not sacrilegious.
Others believe that the way to prevent another Auschwitz is to draw the world's attention to what happened here, and use this as a means of teaching tolerance.
One thing is certain: Saturday night's concert will be one of the most emotional performances of this young musician's life. Last year during his performance in Krakow, Matisyahu was overwhelmed by his audience. "During my show in Krakow last year, I kind of lost it," said Matisyahu, "I got very emotional, and had to leave and the come back. There were a lot of Survivors at the concert and it was very emotional."
This Saturday night, just a few miles from where a million Jews were murdered, Matisyahu will sing his anthem of a peaceful future for tens of thousands of young Poles. "All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for," sings Matisyahu in "One Day", "for the people to say, that we don't wanna fight no more, they'll be no more wars, and our children will play."
And while we will not know how the message of "One Day" will influence these young people right away, we can appreciate what it represents. Matisyahu is writing a new chapter in Polish-Jewish relations with his music.
Shabbat Shalom

I first met Ninel in 1991 when I was introduced to Ninel by her son Mati. Mati was a young, charismatic student leader at the forefront of the resurgence of Jewish life in post-Communist Poland. Ninel's renowned, book-lined apartment, which graced the pages of a 1986 National Geographic, had made her famous five years before I got to Poland. I felt that I knew her already. "Remnants" they had called them, "The Last Jews Of Poland." Ninel was no remnant.
Ninel was a printer for the Solidarity movement and risked arrest under martial law for distributing hand-printed newsletters and books whose goal was to bring down the Communist regime that her parents helped establish. Her name Ninel, is Lenin spelled backwards.
During the anti-Semitic purges of 1968, when thousands of Jews fled, Ninel remained in Poland to tend to her sick father. Ninel worked for 25 years at the Jewish Historical Institute, cataloging minute by minute more than 1,000 movies depicting Nazi atrocities during theHolocaust. Each film was like a dagger through her heart, but she felt "she owed it to them because she survived."
Ninel's tiny, pre-WWI apartment on Jagiellonska — my refuge in Poland during my first two summers there, and during my first year living in Poland — was a rendezvous point for artists, writers, revolutionaries, musicians, and actors who crowded around her wooden table and its shiny samovar, for strong tea and shots of peppered vodka.
Ninel became an accomplished Jewish writer. She authored Święta i tradycje żydowskie, Jewish Holidays and Traditions, still one of the best selling Jewish books in post-war Poland. Ninel's respect for Jewish tradition rubbed off on her younger son, who had the first post-war public Bar Mitzvah in 1985. Currently, Rabbi Mati Kos, one of only a handful of post-Communist ordained Polish Rabbis, serves as a Jewish chaplain in Durham, UK.
Ninel's kind eyes looked with compassion on all those who had suffered. In the meantime, she herself endured her own private exile in her own land, surrounded by a civilization that had been obliterated, and determined to keep their memory at the forefront of the world's conscience. Her epitaph should read, "Died of a broken heart for the victims of the Holocaust and Communism."
I will always cherish those days around Ninel's samovar, translating for my mother and Ninel as they carried on great discussions about art and life, laughing till we cried. Ninel was a painter too, and her art hung from every corner of her home in solemn witness to her work.
Ninel passed away on June 4th, after loosing a long battle with illness, on the anniversary of the fall of Communism in Poland that she successfully fought. She is survived by her two sons and five grandchildren, and her samovar.

Tonight Jews around the world celebrate the holiday of Shavuot, the Summer Solstice Harvest Festival and anniversary of the giving of the Torah. So why do I drink beer?
While conducting some research on Shavuot a few years back, I came across an important footnote in the Netei Gavriel, a encyclopedic series of books on Jewish laws and customs. The Netei Gavriel, amid discussions of customs and practices around Shavuot — eating dairy food, decorating the shul with plants, flowers and grass etc. — mentions the custom of having a keg of beer at synagogue for Shavuot. Yes, a keg of beer.
Let me explain.
The Jewish people had left Egypt, and traversed the desert, and were encamped at the base of Mt. Sinai in the stark harshness of the desert. There, at the base of the mountain, they encountered God. According to tradition, this is when we received the Torah.
One of the stories from the Midrash about the giving of the Torah relates how the Jewish people decided to accept the Torah. It was, as Don Corleone said in The Godfather, "an offer that [we] could not refuse."
God lifted Mt. Sinai over the heads of the assembled People of Israel and then asked us if we wanted the Torah. If we said "no," God would drop the mountain on top of us.
Lest one think that this Midrash is speaking in metaphorical terms, Rashi explains that God literally held Mt. Sinai over the heads of the Jewish people "like a barrel."
In the middle ages a tradition arose in Eastern Europe, based on this Rashi, to have a barrel of beer in the synagogue when Jews stay up all night and study until dawn, in order to fix the mistake of our ancestors for sleeping soundly the night before Revelation, that we accept the Torah enthusiastically, and according to Kabbalah, that we enter into marriage with God with a full trousseau of Torah learning.
Today, having a keg of beer for Shavuot is within everyone's reach thanks to the proliferation of mini "draughtkegs" for about $20. No need to worry about deposits and taps, these small kegs have enough beer to make a bunch of people happy.
After a few years with the smaller keg, I decided to go for an upgrade last year. We will have a 15 gallon keg of cold, fresh, locally produced, artisinal beer at our Shavuot program.
And while drinking your beer this Shavuot, remember the important words of Benjamin Franklin, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
L'Chaim, success and joy in your learning, Gut Yontef and Chag Sameach!

Mazal tov graduates! I have some sage advice that can make you rich. Broaden your horizons.
Not to be a downer, but according to the statistics, the job market for you is as low as it can go. I'm really sorry. The chance for a job that actually requires that major of yours? It's even lower. So exactly how are you, the Facebook Generation, going to get rich? Expand your worldview.
Don't waste your time in a search for a dead-end job or a career. The world is a big place, and you will never have this chance again. As one of our greatest teachers, Dr. Suess said in The Places You'll Go, "Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!"
Volunteer somewhere in this vast world where your help is really needed. A billion people want to learn your native language English. Impoverished communities from Guatemala to India, can benefit from your idealism and energy.
Here at home in America, communities ravaged by poverty and natural disasters need you to help pick up the pieces. Joplin, Missouri, alone could keep you busy for a year. Detroit needs an army of teachers to battle illiteracy.
Another way to broaden your horizons is by setting out for a spiritual quest. It's no secret, but you don't spend much time in college on the meaning of life . You are college graduates, with advanced secular educations, but few of you have explored your Jewish spiritual heritage since your Bar or Bat Mitzvahs. There is an ocean of knowledge and wisdom waiting for you.
How long should you spend on this quest to broaden your horizons?
Long enough so that you do not miss the comfort of your current surroundings.
Long enough so that you realize more about what you want to accomplish and where to use your God-given gifts when you return.
Long enough to open your mind and heart, and provide precious skills for your life's journey.
Long enough to experience unforgettable often unplanned moments, where your soul is elated.
CEO's agree, that the candidate with diverse and interesting experiences, makes a better hire for that job. Additionally, in your job and your career, you will be able to draw upon your experiences to find creative solutions that put you ahead of the rest.
So when you hang up your gowns and hat….pack your bags.
Graduates, members of the Facebook Generation, my message to you is:
Enrich your soul in spiritual quests.
Give to the world.
You will never have this chance again.
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!

Women told "keep it together," #NoHomophobes & Reddit
What students are talking about today (January 10th)
1. The University of Lethbridge's Alcohol Awareness Committee has put up posters showing two girls enjoying a night out on the town beneath the headline "Who's watching your drink?" and, in smaller print, the words "Keep it together. It can happen anywhere." The Meliorist's Leyland Bradley isn't pleased, saying the poster implies woman can avoid sexual assault "if they know better." Bradley says this is an example of "blaming the victim" and that it "perpetuate shame and self-loathing rather than working to prevent assault." I don't see harm in asking women to keep themselves and each other safe, but I do see how that "keep it together" line might offend.
2. The University of Alberta's Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services, creators of NoHomophobes.com, have released a forceful new video showing how odd it is that we still use words like faggot and dyke. "We no longer tolerate racist language… but sadly we still see and hear homophobic and transphobic language in our society," Kristopher Wells, the Institute's Associate Director, told The Huffington Post, adding "While this language might not always be meant to be hurtful, we must not forget that words like "faggot" contribute greatly to continued alienation and isolation." The video has nearly 5,000 views.

2010: A Pictorial Look Back
I finally participated in Coastal Clean Up program.
Visiting a cave with a pool inside was pretty awesome too.
I was pretty psyched when I heard there was a food truck festival in Oakland, already on its second year, and that Filipino food was on display. I cannot wait for the 2011 version.
Before the year ended, I thought I'd visit a castle in my own home state.
2010 was the year of day trips and small get-aways. Getting to know about Northern California better.
Visited a mission - which makes my total California Missions visited to 9. In 2004, I took upon myself to visit all of the 21 missions. It's been a slow process to visit all of them, but adding another one this year was a step in the right direction.
I was one of the million people who celebrated the long awaited WORLD SERIES championship of my favorite team, SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS.
And I can't think of anything better that happened in 2010 than the arrival of our wonderful pets, Buster and Emma, both adopted from the shelter.
Thanks for sharing my adventures this year.
This is my entry for this week's MY WORLD. It's a new year for showcasing your world. Share your world here.

How online videos can save you money
Online videos on everything from DIY to maintaining your car can save you money on a range of potentially expensive jobs.
Have you ever paid for a service that you suspected you could do yourself but were too scared to try?
DIY is nothing new but what's changed is that it's now much easier to learn about how to do different tasks. That's thanks to the rise of online video content. There are now thousand of online videos out there that provide detailed step-by-step guides on how to do loads of DIY tasks. Here are just a few examples.
Wedding hair and beauty
For the untutored, applying make-up and styling hair can be intimidating. Day to day, the routine dab of concealer and a few whips of the hairbrush can get you through. But what about a wedding when you want to look your best for photographs and videos that will be yours to treasure for years to come?
Wedding beauty can be very expensive, especially if you want to give your bridesmaids and maid of honour the special treatment too. If you're looking to cut costs for an already expensive occasion, there are lots of online videos that could tutor you or a close friend on how to do wedding makeup and even wedding hair styles without the need for a professional stylist. These online videos are easy to follow, and as long as you do some practice before the big day, nothing should go wrong.
Instrument repairs and maintenance
Every good musician knows that their instruments need maintenance to perform at their best. A guitar, for example, needs to be restrung regularly for the best sound, but for some amateur musicians this can seem like a daunting task.
Restringing a guitar can cost anywhere between £5 and £20 (not including the cost of the replacement strings), depending on where you live and the type of shop. While some specialist shops will do it for free and show you how, others may not be so forthcoming. Here's an online tutorial on how to restring an electric guitar but there are plenty of other videos online that can help you give your instruments a bit of tlc for free.
Vehicle repairs and maintenance
Vehicle repairs and maintenance can cost a household hundreds each year, but with a little know-how, performing some simple repairs and maintenace tasks can keep those costs down.
Changing the oil or even replacing a broken wing mirror can become simple jobs you can do yourself if you watch online videos to get the right technique. Alternatively you could buy one of the Haynes service and repair manuals that are also available online to help.
All you have to worry about is sourcing the parts and tools. Again it is easy to find car parts online at places like 247spares, buyspares and eBay .
Read Cut your car costs for more ideas on how to reduce your car-related spending.
There are plenty of odd jobs around the house that we have been happily doing for years thanks to the aftermath of 90s DIY shows like "Changing Rooms", which taught us the importance of a stencil and a fabric stapler.
But most of us still do rely on professionals for the more complex tasks. Trouble is, plumbers and electricians can be expensive.
Online videos should enable you to more stuff yourself. Just a simple search will reveal videos that can help you take on the task of fixing the water pump on a washing machine, changing a fuse, replacing a leaky tap, bleeding a radiator or reducing the pressure of your boiler without the need for a plumber or electrician.
Good 'how to' websites
Here are some websites that will help you find the best videos:
wikiHow - attempting to build and share the world's largest high quality 'how to' manual.
eHow - offers a great range of videos and articles empowering you to try anything.
How Stuff Works - dedicated 'how to' guides that include videos, graphics and comprehensive articles.
DIY Happy - interesting site for unusual projects.
YouTube - You can search for anything but be prepared for some videos that may be a bit substandard.
Videojug - videos to help us 'get good at life.'
Take a course
If videos or online tutorials still don't fill you with enough confidence to set about difficult sounding tasks yourself, then perhaps taking a course would give you the boost you need.
There are numerous DIY, plumbing, and car maintenance courses out there that are cheap and quick to complete. B&Q now have You Can Do It classes, which provide lessons led by experts. Short courses include how to lay laminate flooring, how to hang a door, plastering, tiling, and how to remove a radiator so you can decorate behind it.
Know your limits
Doing it yourself is rewarding and can be very economical but always consider whether you would be better off using a professional rather than risk making the situation worse.
Pass on the knowledge
That said, if you keep practising, your work will get better. And who knows, once you become an expert, maybe you'll be able to make your own video with some DIY top tips.
Have you saved money by doing it yourself? How did you go about it? Let us know in the comment boxes below.

Former astronaut weighs in on first commercial rocket blast

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
A commercial rocket now heading for the International Space Station.
SpaceX is falcon 9 lifted off this morning is loaded with 1000.
Pounds of supplies for the ISS.
This morning's blast off launches a new era in space flight because it marks the very first time a private company has sent a vessel to the space station.
The big test -- comes later this week when the dragon space capsule is set to dock with the IS -- Joining us now to talk about the history being made here Tom Jones a former NASA shuttle astronaut and a Fox News contributor.
So what's the significance of this you've been an advocate of this kind of program.
In the past right.
Right John.
Following shuttle retirement NASA needs a way to get about forty metric tons of supplies up to the space station over the next five years to support research and give the -- supplies.
There's -- way to get it up there from our side except by hiring Russian cargo freighters.
-- Japanese and European cargo ships can't do the -- so we need to come up with a solution.
And this is a very important in a spectacular first up this morning.
So is is it possible that that private enterprise is going to be able to do what the government used to do through NASA except maybe more efficiently maybe even cheaper faster smarter.
-- at NASA sure hopes that that's right because they need to save money on the cargo shipments over what the shuttle could certainly deliver.
And that will allow them to free up funds for actual research on the space station and of course.
Building deep space craft like your Ryan and the big rocket that will carry it out beyond the space station so they really can't get.
Going on those projects until they deliver these cost savings it's a very important element of NASA's future strategy you know I'm old enough to remember the Mercury program and Gemini and Apollo and it was always such a nationalistic sense of pride that came whenever those big Saturn fives and other rockets would.
Would launch it it it seems a little strange to be handing it all over -- private enterprise but.
I guess I'm kind of stuck in the past time.
I don't think you're stuck in the past I mean it that the -- this morning actually looked a lot like the old Saturn launches of the shuttle because that is the kerosene fuel that was burned this morning.
But we need to have this first step take place and then I think NASA very.
Very intently wants to get out to deep space with the -- that's not gonna happen for another five years.
And crew won't -- that on that until the latter part of -- -- so.
-- got to keep going on the space station support and research until they can get the deep space ships going in this is a fundamental part of that.
And what it allows is private industry to get access to space to develop their own space stations to innovate to make money and space in a way that -- not chartered to do.
-- interesting that a private American company can do what the nation of North Korea for instance has not been able to do get a get a rocket into earth orbit they -- the challenge though is still to come when you get this ship close to the space station tell us about that.
Right -- -- is one of the trickiest maneuvers in space to bring together two spacecraft going five miles a second.
Miles an hour and have them fly formation and we -- -- on the shuttle with human pilots backed up by computers and sensors and and mission control.
Here SpaceX and its dragon capsule has to.
Automate that process with laser sensors are radio sensors GPS.
And then feeding into navigation software that can stabilize the craft with thrusters.
Very close to the space station but not presenting safety hazard so it's a big test they'll try it out once on Thursday and then Friday.
It's taken stabilize within about thirty or forty feet and its crew can reach out and grab -- with the robot arm.
And this is really where the rubber meets the road that -- SpaceX company has to prove.
Well you know -- the Meyer wanted to grow up to -- astronaut to get kids of this Eric and grow up to the start of space exploration company of their own.
One possibility being a private space plane pilot that's right -- he can -- John Jones always good productive thing.

Since summer has come to a close and things are back to normal and we're all preparing for fall I thought I'd put together a summer chill themed mix. We're all dreaming of laying out somewhere warm and sunny with lots of sunshine and where the cocktails are sweet yet strong and the music is chill with a little bit of kick to it.
Maybe throw in some jazz vibes and soulful lyrics. Or even some touches of laidback world beats with smooth downtempo. Well this mix does the trick and flows smoothly like the tasty cocktails that are made to order at the Beach Bar.

Dealing wit a NoSuchAlgorithm Exception on neo4j
I've spent the last couple of hours moving my neo4j graph from my own machine onto a vanilla CentOS VM and initially tried to run neo using a non Sun version of Java which I installed like so:
yum install java
This is the version of Java that was installed:
$ java -version java version "1.5.0" gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)
When I tried to start neo4j:
neo4j/bin/neo4j start
I ended up with the following exception in the neo4j log @ neo4j/data/log/neo4j.0.0.log:
Caused by: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Algorithm [JKS] of type [KeyStore] from provider [org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider: name=BC version=1.4] is not found
I assumed this algorithm was only being packaged with the Sun JDK (although the website suggests otherwise) so I'd need to replace my version of Java to get it working.
I got the 64 bit '.bin' file from the Oracle download page and then installed it using rpm:
rpm -ivh jdk-6u33-linux-x64-rpm.bin
I now have this version of Java installed and neo4j is much happier:
java -version java version "1.6.0_33" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03, mixed mode)
After googling around for a bit I'm still not entirely sure why it wasn't able to work with the original version of Java I installed so if anyone could point me in the direction that'd be useful.

Life Is Wild [TV Series]
Another Americanization of a popular British TV series, Life is Wild was inspired by the BBC comedy-drama Wild at Heart. D.W. Moffett headed the cast as New York-based veterinarian Danny Clarke, who on little more than a whim relocated himself, his second wife Jo (Stephanie Niznik) and their four children (two from his first marriage, two from hers) to a new home in South Africa. The Clarke family reconnoitered at the Blue Antelope, a game preserve and safari lodge run by Danny's crusty father-in-law Art (David Butler) (his daughter was Danny's late first wife). Though the kids thought that Danny was crazy, wife Jo did her best to be supportive, using her skills as a lawyer to help rebuild the Blue Antelope into a thriving concern, despite stiff competition from a newer, more tourist-friendly lodge owned by Art's rival Colin Banks (Jeremy Sheffield). The rest of the characters included Danny's level-headed daughter Katie (Leah Pipes) and his frisky son Chase (K'sun Ray; Jo's rebellious son Jesse (Andrew St. John) and sports-nut daughter Mia (Mary Matilyn); Colin Banks' twin children, handsome-hunk son Oliver (Jeremy Sheffield) and drop-dead-gorgeous daughter Emily (Tiffany Mulheron); Tumelo (Atandwa Kani), a local teenager who aspired to become a veterinarian himself; and singer-bartender Mbali (Precious Kofi), for whose attentions Jesse and Tumelo carried on a friendly competition. Filmed on location in South Africa, Life is Wild debuted October 7, 2007 on CW, in the Sunday-night timeslot formerly occupied by Seventh Heaven. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Monk: Mr. Monk and the Daredevil
Monk (Tony Shalhoub) is outraged by the news that his longtime rival Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley), the "pet" patient of Monk's psychiatrist Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel), is actually the Frisco Fly, a masked daredevil who has become a folk hero by clambering around the San Francisco skyscrapers. Especially vexing is the fact that Harold is deathly afraid of heights--and that if he is indeed the Frisco Fly, it would prove that he's been making more progress with his phobias than Monk has. But as it turns out, Harold has been set up as a (literal) fall guy by the person who has murdered the real "Frisco Fly"...a murder which Monk happens to be investigating even as we speak. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Fido to Queue
Add Fido to top of Queue
In a 1950s-era alternate universe where domesticated zombies play a functional role in society by delivering the milk, carrying the mail, and even helping out with household chores, one boy is about to find out just how big of a personal responsibility "pet" ownership truly is. When the Earth passed through a cloud of space dust and the dead arose from their graves to devour the flesh of the living, it first seemed that all hope for humanity was lost. Society's rapid slide into chaos, however, was soon halted when scientists at a company called ZomCom created a special collar that turned the rampaging animated corpses docile. Now, thanks to ZomCom, everything is under control -- or is it? Timmy Robinson (K'Sun Ray) isn't quite convinced. Quiet and withdrawn, the skeptical young boy spends so much time locked away in his room that he's almost become invisible around the household. His mother Helen (Carrie-Anne Moss) has recently purchased a zombie to help keep things tidy around the house though, and when the creature attempts to engage the curious youngster in a game of catch, a friendship is forged between boy and zombie that finds the amiable gut-muncher nicknamed Fido (Billy Connolly) practically becoming a part of the family. Things take a turn for the worse however, when Fido's collar malfunctions and Timmy's neighbors begin dying in droves. When ZomCom's top zombie control specialist Mr. Bottoms (Henry Czerny) moves in across the street from Timmy, the increasingly complicated situation threatens to place a serious stumbling block in the path of human-zombie relations. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Smith [TV Series]
Executive-produced by ER and West Wing veteran John Wells, the weekly serialized drama series Smith focused on a group of highly skilled professional thieves, who covered their tracks by living normal, above-suspicion lives between heists. There was actually no character named "Smith"; this was the designation given by the Feds to the mysterious leader of the criminals, whom the audience knew to be Bobby Stevens (Ray Liotta), who maintained a respectable veneer as a sales representative for a paper-cup company. Ever so often, Bobby would make up an alibi for his dental-assistant wife Hope (Virginia Madsen) and his family, travel to another city, don new clothes and a new identity, and mastermind a high-profile theft with his accomplices, all of whom resided in different, far-flung cities. Bobby's "team" included womanizing hit man Jeff (Simon Baker), Vegas showgirl Annie (Amy Smart), parolee Tom (Johnny Lee Miller), and versatile utility man Joe (Franky G.). Dogging the thieves' trail with Javert-like diligence was the ruthless and sometimes unscrupulous federal agent Dodd (Chris Bauer). Debuting September 19, 2006 on CBS, Smith was among the first casualties of the 2006-2007 season, lasting only three episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fielder's Choice

Add Fielder's Choice to top of Queue
Ambitious young advertising man Phillip Fielder (Chad Lowe) has no time for relationships, and seems to have affection only for his creature comforts -- a source of great dismay for his erstwhile girlfriend, Holly Ford (Marin Hinkle). When his orphaned nephew, an autistic eight-year-old named Zachary (K'Sun Ray), comes to live in Phillip's lavish apartment, Phillip wants no part of surrogate fatherhood and tries to pass the youngster along to his cousin Rose (Miriam Flynn), who happens to live near a group home for special children. But Zach nixes this idea and insists upon living with Phillip, thus throwing together two extremely self-absorbed, obsessive-compulsive characters under one roof. This being a Hallmark Channel presentation, Fielder's Choice will undoubtedly work its way toward a happy and heartwarming finale, though it definitely takes some doing! The film made its TV bow on June 18, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Oakley Takes Silver, Bronze at Women's Ski Slopestyle
No matter how much the world of event organizers says "yes" to it, Mother Nature doesn't want to stop saying "no." Today's Women's slope took place under gray skies, well, in gray skies, to be more exact. A thick fog ruined visibility throughout the event, and a heavy mix of rain and snow slowed made clearing the tabletops in the course very difficult for all of the field, impossible for some.
Salt Lake City REVTour Goes Big
Salt Lake city, UT locals were out in force tonight at the Oakley RevTour. Last year's party was the place to be and everyone who didn't make it had this date on their calendars for months. And his year's crowd was bigger and more stoked to check out the custom goggle bar. It was amazing to see how the community got together and celebrated the winter season. SLC knows how to get it done!

This course follows the best practices for Project Management as outlined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). This is a two part workshop: Part 1 - August 22; Part 2 - August 29.
