Support for Labour at 12 month low as public express doubts about Miliband and Labour's readiness for office
See our poll on George Osborne and the economy here
Although little has changed from last month, the overall trend tells a bigger story, with Labour's support among those certain to vote falling from a high in November 2012 to 38% now. This now puts them on exactly the same standing as in April 2012. The Conservatives are on 29%, staying at their lowest level (except for last month) since 2005.
Twice as many people feel that Labour are not ready to form the next government as think they are ready (58% to 29%), while only one in four (24%) people agree that Ed Miliband is ready to be Prime Minister (66% disagree). While Ed Miliband still has two years to improve them, the figures are significantly below those enjoyed by Tony Blair and David Cameron at similar points before they became Prime Minister. In December 1994 (two and a half years before the 1997 General Election), 59% felt Tony Blair was ready to be Prime Minister while two years away from the 2010 General Election (July 2008), 43% believed Mr Cameron was ready. However, there are positive signs for Mr Miliband with the proportion of people saying he is ready to be Prime Minister rising by 7 points since May 2011.
Nigel Farage remains the least unpopular party leader, with 26% dissatisfied with his performance as UKIP leader (65% are dissatisfied with Nick Clegg, 60% are dissatisfied with David Cameron and 50% are dissatisfied with Ed Miliband). However, four in ten people (40%) do not have an opinion either way on the UKIP leader.
The public's economic optimism is at its highest point in 2013, around one in five (22%) expect the state of the country's economy to improve in the next year while 41% believe it will get worse. A third (35%) think it will stay the same.
Tom Mludzinski, Deputy Head of Political Research at Ipsos MORI said:
"While Nigel Farage and UKIP may take good news out of this poll there is little joy for anyone else. Labour are at a 12 month low as voters have doubts that Ed Miliband and his party are ready to move into Number 10. While he does have two years to change their minds, even his own supporters are not yet fully convinced."

ORLANDO, Fla. - (Dec. 11, 2012) — The U-Haul Companies of Orlando, North Orlando and Gainesville are offering 30 days of free self-storage and U-Box moving and self-storage container to central Florida residents affected by the recent severe storms and tornadoes that swept across the state.
With the U-Box container you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. We can also store the U-Box container in our secure warehouse or even pick up and deliver it to a location of your choice.
In addition to the 30-days-free self-storage assistance being offered, people who need boxes can take advantage of the U-Haul Take a Box, Leave a Box Program. The program enables customers to return their reusable boxes and allows others to take them as needed – FREE. U-Haul encourages anyone who has any type of reusable box to drop it off at the nearest U-Haul location and allow another family to reuse the box, free of charge, instead of throwing the reusable box into the recycling bin. U-Haul also has propane available and urges customers to stop in to ensure that their propane tanks are topped off, since propane is a good thing to have on hand when these storms come through.
Families needing more information about the 30-days-free self-storage assistance program should contact one the following U-Haul regional offices.
U-Haul Company of Orlando(407) 240-9975
U-Haul Company of North Orlando(407) 578-1255
U-Haul Company of Gainesville(352) 377-6133
"These tornadoes and severe storms that swept across central Florida last night caused extreme damage throughout many of our communities," stated Mario Martinez, U-Haul area district vice president. "I hope this effort will help provide assistance to families that need support. We will do our best to help our friends and neighbors in this time of need."

Make sure to have enough copies of the poems which will be analyzed in class as well as have a few metaphor and simile examples on hand in case further explanation is needed.
Metaphor: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them
Simile: a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as.
When discussing metaphors and similes, the board will be used to write out definitions and examples. This will provide an opportunity for students to not only hear explanations, but also see it helping visual learners.
A poem will be read and discussed during the class period. When doing so, students will have their own copy which will help those who are visual learners. Students will first read the poem to themselves and then outloud as a class again helping various types of learners (Auditory, visual etc...).
When the time comes for students to write their own examples of metaphors and similes, the students will have the choice of working alone or with a partner allowing for collaboration for those who may be having trouble with the concept.
Pre-assessment will be a class discussion about metaphors and similes. This will determine if the class can move forward based on how well the class is grasping both the metaphor and simile concept. It will be determined if metaphors and similes will need to re-visited during the next class based on the students metaphor and simile examples (this will be the end assessment).
An example of a metaphor and simile will be written on the board. Students will be asked the following: Is there a difference between the two sentences on the board? Once the class has distinguished the difference, a poem will be read aloud. I will ask if they hear any sentences which are similiar to the first two examples we went over. Students will then be asked to give an example of metaphors and similes.
Today we will be learning about metaphors and similes. They are both very similar concepts and can often be confused, but today we will learn the differences between them and how to distinguish the figurative vocabulary from one another. A Great Depression poem will be read to help us distinguish between the two. By the end of class, you will not only be able to distinguish a metaphor from a simile, but will have written several of your own.
This lesson will primarily be student-centered. The beginning of the class will give the students a chance to show what they already know about metaphors and similes. Metaphors and similes will then be explained further with teacher input and a little more practice. A Great Depression poem will be the focus during the first part of the class where students will identify the metaphors and similes in the poem and explain the difference between the two. Other examples will be derived and written on the board by the class. Here again, teacher input will take place, but primarily student run.
Towards the last part of the class students will be come up with their own examples of metaphors and similes by choosing a word randomly from a hat. Once they have written their simile or metaphor, students will read their examples outloud to wrap the class up.
The end of the class will be devoted to students coming up with their own metaphor and simile examples. Students will pick words from a hat determining what word they will be writing about.
Students will share their examples to the class. Hopefully this will end the class in a lighthearted, even funny, manner while reviewing the importance of the lesson (to grasp the understanding of both metaphors and similes).
The homework will be announced at this time. Students will be asked to write a poem incorporating both similes and metaphors in it. The attached link will be a guide for students will use to help them write their poem.

Theological Reflection
by Hak Joon Lee
This theological reflection was prepared for the Pastor Theologian consultation held in October 20-22, 2010, Colorado Springs, sponsored by the Office of Theology and Worship. This particular consultation invited 13 Korean American pastors representing generations and gender. The theological engagement focused on the event at the 219th General Assembly held in Minneapolis that led to the defeat of the motion to create another Korean language presbytery.
Hak Joon Lee's reflection comes from an introduction that he wrote for a Christian curriculum titled iDentity, published in March of 2011.
Hak Joon Lee is the Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics at New Brunswick Theological Seminary, where he has taught since 1998. He also taught at Drew University and New York Theological Seminary. Lee received his M.Div. (1990) Ph.D. (1997) degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary, and has published several books, including Covenant and Communication: A Christian Moral Conversation with Jürgen Habermas (University Press of America, 2006), We Will Get to the Promised Land: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Communal-Political Spirituality (Pilgrim Press, 2006), Bridge Builders (Doorae Publishing Company, 2007), iDentity: A Curriculum for Korean American Christian Youth (G2G Christian Education Center, forthcoming), and numerous articles. He was invited to be a keynote speaker for the celebration of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday in several cities of NJ and NY. An ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the PC (USA), he founded G2G Christian Education Center, a research institute on Asian American Christianity and Culture, for the empowerment of Asian American churches and youth.
A Curriculum for Korean American Christian Youth
Hak Joon Lee, Kevin Park, Kil Jae Park.
The Virginia Tech incident in 2007 was a myth breaker for many Americans. The incident brought into question the prevalent perception that Asian Americans are a model minority who has strong work ethic, zeal for the education of their children, and achieved a rapid economic success. It was an incident that showed that Asian American families are as fallible as any other families in the U.S. and that Asian American parents do not always raise perfect, well behaving, and excellent students.
The incident was a shocking but soul searching occasion for Korean Americans. Although the extreme nature of the incident should not be used to justify any kind of ethnic stereotyping, this incident, beyond its shocking and tragic nature, gave us a rare opportunity to look into the deeper underlying psychological, cultural and social issues with which many Korean American youth struggle --the loneliness, alienation, confusion that they suffer under the pressure to succeed academically and the experiences of cultural differences and racism. Often hidden underneath the façade of the "model minority" myth, many tend to suffer from low self-esteem, weak self-identity and other psychological and emotional issues. Unfortunately, the shame culture, the authoritarian style of parenting and the high expectation to succeed in the family have made it difficult for Korean American youths to articulate their struggles and find help. They are looking for outlets to release this pressure. And their search for a place, an outlet if you will, to deal with their personal issues and struggles have brought many of them to Korean American churches.
However, Korean American churches do not automatically solve this problem of alienation for our youths because most churches are not equipped to address these problems in-depth. Although almost all Korean American churches include "bicultural youth education" in their vision and mission statements, and build education buildings (youth centers), the gap between the dream and reality is still painfully large. This is to say that although some physical structures may be there, educational contents and appropriate curricula are still lacking. The problem continues because we believe that the heart of the issue has not been addressed theologically—the gap between the two cultures and the relationship between the cultures and the Christian gospel.
Some Korean American churches might say that they do not have such problems because they have English speaking JDSNs (Jun-do-sa-nims; youth pastors). Yes, these churches are blessed to have such staff resources since many small churches cannot afford or cannot find JDSNs. However, they do not realize that even North American theological schools or seminaries are not equipped to adequately train their seminarians to teach Korean American youths in ways that address the challenges of identity and culture facing them. As Asian American Christian scholarship is still in its infancy, many JDSNs teach mostly from their personal experiences largely due to lack of relevant curricula that speak to the Asian American experience with theological integrity and biblical imagination. The Silent Exodus of Korean college students and other young adults from Korean American churches tell of the overall reality of the adequacy of our church education for the youth.
Therefore, this curriculum is designed to address these concerns in Korean American churches. The primary focus of the curriculum is "identity." It is designed to help Korean American youths in their search for identity as Korean, American, and Christian. We believe that identity is the core issue facing our Korean American youths. Identity denotes who a person is. The sense of selfhood is the foundation of one's life and work. When this foundation is unsure, everything else can easily shake and crumble like a house built on sand. Engagement in God's work of growing our youths into faithful and confident Korean American Christians is one of the most important callings for parents and churches.
The issue of identity is crucial for our youths because it is during this time that they are engaged in the process of search, discovery, and value formation. And faith is critical for their self-understanding and identity formation. However, if we do not offer a kind of robust Christian faith that endures, sustains, empowers and energizes them in their daily struggles and aspirations, addressing their most pressing concerns, how can we expect them to stay in Korean American churches or even remain Christians? We, as a community and representing the church, need to offer them adequate, thoughtfully conceived guidelines that can help them in their faith journeys. As they grow intellectually and socially and are educated in schools that encourage "critical thinking" as one of the foundations of education, intellectual discussions on family, church, faith, and community cannot be excluded. Emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and moral dimensions are all part of their daily life with family, friends, and teachers.
Moreover, we believe that at least during a certain period in their development, Korean American youths have an acute need to think about their identity in a personally honest and engaging way. Just think about how many US-born Korean Americans in high school and college want to learn about Korean culture, language, and music. The curriculum aims to socially and spiritually prepare and equip our youths in coping with various challenges they will face around the issue of their cultural identity (who they are) in schools, colleges, workplaces, and society as a whole.
In assisting the development of Christian identity of Korean American youths through this curriculum, we engage Korean American youth experiences with stories and teachings from Scripture. In this curriculum we have selected such subjects as family, culture, personal faith, natural gifts/talents, church, race, community, and global society as major factors that shape the identity of the youths.
The "4Cs" constitute the organizing principles of the curriculum: culture, Christ, competence (or gifts), and community, which we believe are the core factors that shape the identity of Korean-American-Christians. Whereas the first four chapters (1-4) address the question of the culture (and cultural differences) that our students experience at home, society, and school, chapters 5-7 lead them to the life of faith in Jesus Christ and the significant spiritual-social role that Korean American churches play for our youths. Knowing that many of our youths are already involved in Korean American churches, these chapters invite them to claim the faith in Christ as their own and to experience God's unconditional love and Christian fellowship as the foundational aspects of their identity. The next three chapters (8-10) are about "competence," encouraging students to think about how to find and nurture their natural gifts, and to use them for others for God's glory. We believe that thinking about their distinctive gifts and passion is important for students to have a sense of who they are as unique individuals created by God. Finally, the last two chapters (11-12) discuss the theme of "community," in particular the well-being of the Korean American community and of the global world community through reflection on the L.A riots in 1992 and our responsibility for the sustainability of the earth. We believe that as God's people, it is high time for Korean American Christians and churches to engage with various social issues that affect not only our community but also the world as a whole. A good Christian is a good global citizen and a good Korean American.
All the stories in the curriculum are intentionally taken from various Korean American situations. Questions might be raised about why all the examples and stories are Korean rather than those that include wider experiences of other ethnic groups such as Chinese, Japanese, Caucasian, Vietnamese, Pacific Islander and others. Are we not being ethnocentric by limiting our context to Korean Americans? Our decision did not come from any ethnocentric agenda. It is our belief that one cannot avoid the question of one's specific race and ethnicity in North America. Social scientific studies attest to it and historical experiences prove it. Of course, our faith in Christ is more important than any other loyalties, but we cannot deny that our spirituality is inevitably informed by our ethnicity. That is why so many Korean American youths (as well as college students and professionals), despite their fluency in English, still attend Korean American churches. This curriculum will overlap especially with other Asian American Christian contexts but it is specifically designed for the Korean American Christian context.
We do not claim that this curriculum speaks to every Korean American youth in all different situations. Living in a global, pluralistic society, cultural and social experiences of Korean American families and youths are also diverse in geography, economic status, educational background, length of residence in North American, denominational orientation, and political views. Despite this diversity, however, we find that Korean American youths, overall, do face similar problems and challenges of identity. In addressing this issue we have made every effort to be socially attentive and culturally inclusive given our context. Some chapters may resonate closely with your group, and others may not. We ask for patience in your journey with your students, searching for identity in Christ through this curriculum.

NEW PORT RICHEY — In a presentation called "Nonviolent Sexuality: Making Peace With Passion," speaker Bob Hall broke the audience of mostly students out of their comfort zones to discuss a topic that despite being taboo, is all around us in marketing campaigns and media- sex.
The presentation was one of many this past week as Pasco-Hernando Community College held its 2013 "Peace Week" with the theme of "Transformation." In its sixth year, the series of free events was open to the public and included lectures on local food economics, the creation of a Buddhist sand mandala and several peace-themed festivals.
Hall, a judo competitor, coach and owner of a conflict education company Learning to Live With Conflict, in Kew Gardens, N.Y., talked earnestly with students and members of the community about the issues of rape, consent, sex education and interpersonal relationships, among other relationship topics.
Instead of citing rape statistics and tossing out accusations about who's to blame, Hall said, he was there instead to have an open dialogue with students and to broaden their definition of "violence," a term that doesn't need to blood and broken bones for it to exist.
"Silence is violence," Hall told the students. "I see violence as the silencing of a voice."
By that, Hall meant taking away the ability for someone to say "no" to a potential sexual encounter.
Part of the problem, Hall said, is that there is not enough open discussion in our society about sex. Many schools offer abstinence-only education and that works for some people, but not everyone. Programs that teach about birth control and the biological aspects of sex are leaving out one key component: how to deal with everyday encounters with other people.
"I don't know about you but the first time I found myself on the couch in a 'Cold War,' knowing what a fallopian tube was didn't help," Hall said. "There's a little more info we need if we are going to deal with these things when it comes up."
The key, Hall said, is "consideration of others before self."
Instead of assuming you can take, just ask, he suggested. In doing so, you give the person the power to say no.
"It says 'Hey, this is your body and I'd like to spend some time with it. Is that OK?' Because I don't care where you go, how much money was spent, I don't care where you end up at the end of the evening, what you end up doing on the couch or what clothes are on the floor- no one has the right to force you to have sex against your will. I don't care if you're running around naked and winking."
Hall stressed that drugs and alcohol take consent out of the equation. A person whose decision-making abilities are clouded by drinking or drugs, are not able to give consent and a sexual encounter should stop there.
"Forget the law for a moment," Hall said. "If the only reason you'd stop at that moment is because of what the laws says, then we live in a jungle."
While Hall's lecture was peppered with humor and relatable but awkward, sexual situations in which many people find themselves, but the overall tone was serious and meant to convey to students the importance of getting to know people, asking for permission and not allowing a sex drive to make their decisions for them.
At the end, he passed out consent T-shirts with slogans like "Just Because We're Dating, Don't Mean We're Mating."

Marshall backing Villa to come good with late top-flight surge
Andy Marshall insists Villa "are not going to be part" of a scrap for survival in the closing weeks of the current top-flight campaign.
Marshall has backed Villa to come good and charge up the Barclays Premier League table.
The veteran goalkeeper, who has just signed a new one-year deal, says the players are "up for it" as they look to move away from the relegation trapdoor.
The 35-year-old says the lads are "all in it together" as they hunt results, starting this weekend against Everton.
He said: "The lads are up for it, up for the fight that's ahead.
"It's a territory we haven't been used to over the past few years because we have been challenging at the top end of the table. It is something that is new but you look at the quality in the changing room, it's more than capable of getting out of the situation it's in.
"We have seen big teams go down before, of course, but we're not going to be part of that.
"We want to get out of that as quickly as possible.
"We're all in it together - all the lads. If you're not up for the fight and not pulling all together, it makes it very difficult. We most certainly are and we aim to prove it."
Marshall insists he's ready to step in if called upon by manager Gerard Houllier, after revealing his own appetite for the game has increased during his time at Villa.
He called current custodian Brad Friedel an "inspiration" and says the USA ace's dedication to his art has given him a new lease of life.
He added: "He has done fantastically well and I must say he is an inspiration for me.
"I look at him at the age he is and I see the way he trains, the way he conducts himself, he's magnificent.
"It's been great to be at Villa and work under Brad and extend my career. Before I arrived here I thought I was heading for my final two years but now I feel I have another two or three left in me. That's down to seeing Brad as a person on and off the field."

At 41, Juan Esteban Aristizabal (Juanes) has won more than a score of music awards. There is no question in anyone's mind that this number might be about to increase, since his new CD (Loco de Amor), contains all the elements needed to attract more fans and music critics. Except for one song that has an existential edge (Persiguiendo el sol), the album is totally dedicated to love, featuring 11 songs that discuss love and every one of its dimensions and perspectives. Or, as Juanes says: "It's the description of the love that leads to insanity, obsession or joy. It's every expression of love."
A couple of days ago, the Colombian singer sat down to chat with Qué Rica Vida about this album and about his current pleasures and concerns. He's pleased, he said, with his fans' loyalty and with the resounding success of his five previous albums. But he's worried about finding the perfect balance in his life. What does he want to balance and how is he looking to do it? He explains it here… "I work a lot, all the time. It's like I can't stay still," he said at the beginning of our interview. "Last year, we went on tour, I came back and recorded this album.
Despite all that happiness, Juanes can't help but worry. "I love my job and it brings me great joy, but it demands a lot of my time, and that also worries me. I worry about being home with my kids more, watching them grow, playing with them, being with my wife, Karen. So that's my struggle, to continue working, but also be present as a father." "It's not easy, but I've decided not to be away from home longer than a month. I don't even think about leaving home for too long anymore. I rather get on a plane and travel no matter how far, but come back home. Coming and going is not easy when you're touring, but it's worse if I don't do it because it drives me crazy."
When Juanes is not touring or working, he values the importance of eating together as a family. Some of the best life lessons you can instill in your children come about at the dinner table, he says. "We always talk to our children about the importance of food – not only as a source of nutrition, but as a blessing in itself. We explain to them that it's a gift we don't all have and that they should therefore appreciate it. Food is not meant to be played with, sneered at or much less thrown away. It has value. It's important. It's a gift from God, a privilege.
" While he's on the subject of food, one can't help but wonder: Does this Spanish-language rock and pop star know anything about cooking? He responds with a laugh.
"Cooking? (laughter). I'm not very experienced, but of course I've had to cook at some point in my life. And I can survive. I have my key recipes: rice, beans, sandwiches, eggs, French fries! And if I have an easy-to-follow recipe, I can venture to make soups, pizza." He says it's something he does at least once a year, since he likes to surprise his family by making pizza when he goes on vacation with his kids to Medellín. "The kids love it when I make pizza, even though we all end up working on it. That's when that cooking moment becomes a family moment, an adventure with friends, an experience that brings us together."
At the table, the only thing that's different is the menu. Juanes became a vegetarian about 8 months ago, but his wife and children aren't. "They eat fish or chicken, and I eat my vegetables or grains, eggs or cheese. I quit soda for good, as well as sugar and meat, something I've always wanted to do. The result is that I feel great, more energized for everything I do."
He does confess, however, that he's not immune to temptation. And, even though it had not happened up until our interview, he could "succumb" to culinary temptation. "I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but if I come across a tres leches or a flan, I will have a very hard time saying 'no.' And if I were to stop counting calories, I will tell you that I can't resist pizza, a veggie burger or French fries. No way! French fries are my weakness."

The last year brought some new bars and new life to Cordell Avenue in Bethesda. More is likely on the way.
Expect a new restaurant and bar at 4848 Cordell Ave., which now is the site of a men's transitional homeless shelter leased by Montgomery County and operated by Catholic Charities. Local architect Steven J. Karr lists the project as in the works for prominent Bethesda landlord Lenny Greenberg.
Using the same basic sketch design he used for Roof, Karr lists the project as a 4,200-square-foot change-of-use that will cost $1,000,000 and that has a projected completion date of November 2014.
The county will consolidate the homeless shelter with a women's shelter in North Bethesda.
Tommy Joe's owner Alan Pohoryles is nearing the debut his new Roof bar and restaurant at the corner of Cordell and Norfolk Avenues, across the street from Brickside (4866 Cordell Ave.), the Prohibition-themed bar and restaurant that opened in January. Smoke BBQ (4858 Cordell Ave.) opened earlier in January a few doors down.
It also appears Smoke BBQ will have a new neighbor. Bethesda Magazine says longtime pizza takeout joint Victor's (4860 Cordell Ave.) has finally closed.
Greenberg is still looking for someone to take the vacant former space of the flagship California Tortilla franchise, which moved across the street in 2012.

BUZZ for February 7, 2003: A Victory for "Fat Girl"; MoMA and HBO Parties; and "The Singing Detective" on DVD
by Wendy Mitchell, Eugene Hernandez and Brian Brooks
INDUSTRY MOVES: Tim Spencer has been promoted to VP of international sales for Focus Features, based in the company's NYC offices. He reports to EVP of sales and distribution, Glen Bansner.
Matthew Ross has joined FILMMAKER Magazine as the managing editor, replacing Kevin Murphy. Ross had been a senior editor for indieWIRE.
Producer John Daly has been named chairman of Miracle Entertainment, and he will head the company's new film distribution arm, Miracle Film Distribution. William Randy Slaughter will serve as a consultant to the company. Miracle plans to release 10-12 films per year.
THE SKINNY ON 'FAT GIRL': Cowboy Pictures announced that the Ontario Film Review Board has approved "Fat Girl" for uncensored distribution. Cowboy had appealed the board's November 2001 decision to ban the film in Ontario. It will open at two theaters in Toronto on February 21. "Fat Girl," directed by French provacateur Catherine Breillat, opened to strong reviews in the U.S. in October 2001. It had been banned for distribution in Ontario due to its depiction of adolescent sex. "We view this as a complete and unmitigated victory," said Cowboy's John Vanco. "With its invitation to re-submit the film uncut, the Government fully acknowledged that the Board had erred in its application of the law."
HBO EXPLORES "SLAVE NARRATIVES": About four years ago, HBO's head of doc programming Sheila Nevins saw an article about the Library of Congress' slave narratives, 10,000 pages of interviews with more than 2,300 former slaves conducted in the 1940s. The article inspired an idea, later driven by HBO's Jacqueline Glover, for a doc project exploring the narratives. "Unchained Memories, Readings from the Slave Narratives," airing this month on HBO, was created in association with the Library of Congress and was unveiled Monday night during a special screening at the New York Public Library's Celeste Bartos Forum. The evening included remarks from Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Chair of the Department of Afro-American Studies and the W.E.B. DuBois Institute at Harvard. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, the film includes readings from the narratives by an all-star cast, including Angela Bassett, Michael Boatman, Don Cheadle, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Robert Guillaume, Samuel L. Jackson, Courtney B. Vance, Oprah Winfrey, and Alfre Woodard. Williams, Woodard and Davis were among the actors who attended Monday's special screening and dinner.
"GERRY" LEAVES CROWD THINKING: ThinkFilm, which is releasing Gus Van Sant's "Gerry," and the Museum of Modern Art, hosted a New York premiere for the challenging new film on Tuesday in Manhattan. Audiences were buzzing about beauty and risk of Van Sant's experimental new film that follows actors Casey Affleck and Matt Damon (who each refer to each other as "Gerry") on a journey into the desert. With the striking visuals akin to a James Benning film, "Gerry" perplexed some and wowed others who gathered at Sciuscia on Park Avenue after the screening. Van Sant, Affleck, Jyette Jensen from MoMA and ThinkFilm's Mark Urman were among those who celebrated the release as well as the museum's screenings of some of the filmmaker's early work.
THE DETECTIVE SINGS AGAIN: With the lackluster response to the premiere of "The Singing Detective" at Sundance, fans of the original BBC series will be glad to hear that it's coming to DVD on April 15. That 1986 series has been called "the best dramatic work ever written specifically for television." BBC Video will release the three-disc collector's edition of the remastered episodes. The DVD will also boast a doc on writer Dennis Potter, commentary tracks by director Jon Amiel and producer Kenneth Trodd, and other features.
WOMEN GET MOVIES: Women Make Movies announced that it has acquired two new docs, Anat Zuria's "Purity," about how Jewish religious laws affect women, and Charlotte Lagarde and Lisa Denker's "Heart of the Sea," about a female surfing legend who battled breast cancer. In other news, the group plans a theatrical run for Lourdes Portillo's "Senorita Extraviada," a festival fave that we enjoyed on PBS' "P.O.V." last year. The doc, about the unsolved murders of women in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, will play in L.A. starting February 21, and will then move to San Diego starting February 28.
SUNDANCING: The Sundance Institute announced that Susannah Ludwig (associate producer, "Our Song") has been selected as the recipient of the 2003 Mark Silverman Fellowship. The fellowship helps indie producers with a film project that is moving into production. Ludwig will be awarded a cash grant of $5,000 to be used for costs related to pre-production. Additionally, an advisory committee of five working professionals will advise her throughout her fellowship year and then Ludwig will also attend the 2003 Sundance producers conference.
SXSW PREVIEW: The 10th annual South by Southwest Film Festival, to be held in Austin from March 7-15, has announced several films in its line-up. Highlights include "Dummy" starring Adrien Brody, "Assassination Tango" directed by Robert Duvall, Ron Mann's Woody Harrelson doc "Go Further," "The Hard Word" starring Guy Pearce and Rachel Griffiths," and Bob Odenkirk's "Melvin Goes to Dinner," which recently screened at Slamdance. For more information, visit www.sxsw.com.
QUOTABLE: "It's just kind of berserk. The 'independent' should be taken out of 'independent cinema'; commerce and capitalism have pretty much taken over." Sony Pictures Classics' Tom Bernard talks to the L.A. Times.

Happy Holidays from your afternoon host guy on WXXI! It's been a busy Fall, but now that the Winter is officially upon us, I thought I'd offer a little Christmas present to you. The Eastman Wind Ensemble just toured to Michigan and Chicago, playing at the prestigious Midwest Clinic.
Music by black and Latino composers accounts for less than one percent of the music performed by American orchestras each year. The Sphinx Commissioning Consortium aims to boost that percentage. Last week, it announced that Puerto Rican-born Roberto Sierra has been selected to compose the first work commissioned by twelve American orchestras, including the RPO.
BTW, Monday night, June 16th at 8:00 p.m. the RPO plays the Rochester premiere of different a piece it co-commissioned in 2007, Deus ex Machina. It's not a game. Click here for a preview!

History Play: The Lives and Afterlife of Christopher Marlowe

No descriptions found.
"Mark Twain likened writing the biography of Shakespeare to reconstructing the skeleton of a brontosaurus - using "nine bones and six hundred barrels of plaster of Paris." All biographies of Shakespeare use the same few dozen facts, kneaded together with legend and leavened with a large dollop of the author's imagination." "Rodney Bolt has built a different brontosaurus. Without trying to prove it, his book assumes that, rather than dying at twenty-nine in a tavern brawl, Christopher Marlowe staged his own death, fled to Europe, and went on to write the work attributed to Shakespeare. This is the starting point for a mischievous and brilliantly written biography of Marlowe, which turns out to be a life of the Bard as well." "Using real historical sources plus a generous dose of speculation, Bolt paints a rich and rollicking picture of Elizabethan life. As we accompany Marlowe into the halls of academia, the society of the popular English players traveling Europe, and the dangerous underworld of Elizabethan espionage, a fascinating and almost plausible life story emerges, along with a startlingly fresh look at the plays and poetry we know as Shakespeare's. Tapping into centuries of speculation about the man behind the work, about whom so few facts are known for sure, Rodney Bolt slyly winds the lives of two beloved playwrights into one."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Gov. Rick Scott's characterization of taxes, regulation and litigation as the "axis of unemployment" during his inaugural speech yesterday is destined to become a familiar mantra for fellow Republicans as they embrace his pro-business agenda.
It didn't take long for Rep. Matt Hudson to latch onto the catchphrase to pitch his latest bill resurrecting legislation vetoed by Gov. Charlie Crist last year.
Hudson, a fellow Republican who hails from Scott's Naples hometown, filed the bill (HB 119) that would "reduce, streamline and clarify regulations" for providers overseen by the Agency for Health Care Administration, according to a press release issued by Hudson's office.
"HB 119 will be essential in fighting the axis of unemployment and ensuring that the tax dollars of Florida's citizens are not being wasted," Hudson said in the statement.

Hi All:
Ok, I know about not pedaling backwards in the big-big combo (and not using the combo in general) due to extreme cross-chaining.
I got my SRAM Force build all done and it shifts flawlessly. I'm super happy with it and feel that is is pretty dialed in. This evening (with the bike on the stand) I had the chain on the big chainring up front and the small cog in the rear. This is the least extreme chain angle (I think). I spun the wheel backwards and not long after, the chain fell off in front starting at the bottom of the crank. It's totally repeatable.
Why? Should I accept this as normal? My old 6600 stuff never did this.
All of the parts are new. Chainrings don't look bent. Rear D hangar is straight. Rear D looks straight...I hope it is. It's brand new.

It was long before "Exit Through the Gift Shop" when art became driven by commercial incentive and speculation. Yet while monetary concerns may take away from the true value of art, the almost-stagnant nature of artistic production carries a very powerful benefit: when you find something new and exciting, it means that much more. The new power of art lies in that juxtaposition. For Christiane Löhr, I think that goes without saying. Her work is incredibly delicate, but has a force behind each piece that nonetheless commands your attention. For me, it's a throwback to artwork that doesn't assault you as a viewer.
One thought on "Christiane Löhr"
Your way of telling everything in this paragraph is actually fastidious,
every one be capable of effortlessly be aware of it, Thanks a lot.

why are you convinced that the Bridgestone is made for the Yamaha, since they changed the construction who won more races?
Although by looking at the writing English is probably your second language, which hats off to you for learning a second language, I will ask again when under none control tyre was the closer than it is now, when was the racing ever closer than it is now? Maybe 2001. There has always been a preferred tyre manufacturer, right back to when Goodyear was in there, Michelin were and won every title between 1991 and 2006 as far as I remember. No other manufacturer won a race between 1995 Crafer and 2004 Tamada on Bridgestone.

Nigeria: NFF organizes Futsal,Beach Soccer courses
The Beach Soccer course will take place at the Confluence Beach Hotel, Lokoja while the Futsal course holds at the FIFA Technical Cntre in Abuja on up till April 28.
Nigeria's FIFA Instructor in beach soccer, Mr. Sunday Okayi, says the West African nation has huge potential in the game considering the vast coastal lines available. "With the nation's vast coastal lines, it is the experts' considered opinion that the development of beach soccer is imperative. Not only will its development engage our teeming youth population, taking them away from crime and other social vices, it will also serve to boost our cultural and sports tourism. "Already, the NFF has approached world football-governing body, FIFA to conduct a high-level Coaching and Refereeing Course for us to enable us build a sound and professional capacity as we aim to kick-start the Beach Soccer League before the end of this year. We have faith that FIFA will accede to our request," said Okayi.

ZF-11698: Zend_Acl "Notice: Undefined index: allPrivileges in ...\library\Zend\Acl.php on line 761"
I have a class which extends Zend_Acl and sets up a lot of default permissions for my application. There are times when I need to re-set the permissions back to a default and to do so I'm trying to call "$this->removeAllow();" and "$this->removeDeny();".
Both calls seem to output the notice as listed in the title.
Dropped priority to minor, as there is no loss of functionality just an annoying E_NOTICE.
Could you please provide a short sample which reproduces your issue? I've been using Zend_Acl in situations similar to what you describe and haven't encountered any notices being emitted because {{allPrivileges}} is undefined.
Could not reproduce against trunk. Please reopen this ticketif you can provide additional information that would help reproduce the issue.
I have the same problema.
Look for this example code. Ist result in error quote in top:
$acl = new Zend_Acl();
$acl->allow('usuario', 'padrao', 'acessar');
echo $acl->isAllowed('usuario', 'padrao', 'acessar') . "\n
"; $acl->removeAllow(); echo $acl->isAllowed('usuario', 'padrao', 'acessar') . "\n

Before Saw, There Was Geometry

Last time around, we were talking about Flatland and the second dimension, but it's time to step things up a bit, because there's a whole 'nother world out there. The world of the ... THIRD DIMENSION! Try to contain your excitement.
3D Film - Tangentially Related to What I Am Talking About
The Saw movie franchise finally wrapped up in 2010 with its final chapter. This makes for a total of seven, from Saw (sans Roman numeral suffix) through Saw 3D (also known as Saw: The Final Chapter), at the dizzying rate of one movie released each year. All of the movies are tenuously connected by the thin premise that a saw of some sort is involved in the plot. At least the first couple of movies try to keep up this appearance and in the first movie, a man who is trapped in a room must hack off his leg in order to escape.
The end.
But that's not really Saw's claim to originality, because way back when, in the distant past of 1979, was this fantastic movie called Mad Max. And at the end of Mad Max, someone needs to cut off his limb with a hacksaw in order to escape an exploding car. So there's that then.
So you see, Saw's remaining claim to originality is the locked-room mystery, right? Yes, Saw must have been the first movie to ever do that. No, wait, they were the first to create a mind-bending puzzle movie in which some people wake up in a room having no idea how they got there and must use pure logic to get out of the room, RIGHT?
Before there was Saw, in 2004, there was something called Cube, which came out in 1997. Cube, and its prequel Cube Zero (2004) are all about geometry that kills, giant cubes in which people are trapped and must fight to escape before some unseen, sinister outside forces eliminate them one by one. Sounds like fun, right? How could it possibly get any better?
Well the only way it could get better is if you put that geometry at the bottom of the sea and added a killer giant squid to the mix. That's right, I'm talking about Sphere which is a kind of weak movie version of this amazing book by Michael Crichton. You know him. He's the guy who thought of an amusement park filled with KILLER DINOSAURS. He is a certified GENIUS. In Sphere, some people become trapped in a habitat at the bottom of the ocean, in proximity to a strange alien artifact and must fight for a way out while some unseen, sinister outside force ElimiDates them one by one.
Circle, Square, Triangle, Ex
The only thing that can complete your journey through the third dimension is a movie about a pyramid. The best example I could find was a movie called The Pyramid, but alas, the library doesn't carry that one.

The New Meet And Greet: Would You Like To Poken?
A couple weeks ago I attended a conference, and upon checking in I was told, "Don't forget to pick a Poken!"
A Poken is a specially-designed thumb drive that allows you to fuse offline and online social networking. It works as a social business card that people access online.
So, it enables you to be out and about, but never out of cards.
The Switzerland-based company sells Pokens across Europe, but has fans as far afield as Tokyo. TechCrunch Europe named it the Best Real World Gadget in 2009. Poken entered the U.S. market earlier this year.
At the conference I attended, I received a device from the PokenSparks line, given that name because it glows green when you touch Pokens with someone else. The designers say it's to reflect that "spark" of emotion you get when meeting someone.
Lynn Edwards, MyLegal.com conference organizer, was my first Poken contact.
"It was a useful way to get people's contact information in social settings, and it is now becoming popular with the convention crowd here in the U.S.," said Edwards.
Having attended two conferences in one week myself, I found that Edwards is right. Carrying around a Poken is much easier than collecting 20 or 30 cards. Plus, asking someone if they'd like to Poken is a real icebreaker!
There is a catch to this clever gadget. Your new Poken friends have to create a Poken profile online to complete the connection. The information on your Poken device syncs with your profile when you plug it into the USB port of your Internet-connected computer. The profile ties together a user's many social networking personas and allows you to share them with your new Poken contacts.
Another conference attendee, Salim Elkhou, director of e-Stet, is one of my new Poken friends.
"The good things about it is that you don't need to download any software," said Elkhou. "One movement, and you have all the info," he said as our Pokens touched and we waited for the green glow, indicating our device ID info had been exchanged.
"The bad thing is you could lose the device. You have to keep track of it," Elkhou said.
Bump, BeamMe, or MyNameIsE are all applications that also allow users to quickly share contact info by "bumping" their cell phones together or taking a picture of a Quick Response (QR) code. But the drawback of all of these technologies is that they require you to have a cell phone handy.
Retaggr is an online social media aggregator similar to Poken. But gathering information for Retaggr is not facilitated with a portable device like Poken. With Retaggr, people still need your card or contact info to find you online.
The Poken can be attached to your keychain, it captures data immediately when contact is made with another Poken and it requires no particular software or cell phone.
Doutriaux explains in a "Learn About Poken" video, that this device is the bridge between your life online and offline.
So far, only eight of my 14 real-life Poken encounters followed through by completing their online profiles like Edwards and Elkhou did.
Admittedly, adjusting to new technology takes time. We'll have to wait and see if Poken takes off here in the U.S.

After a few days off to recover from the final regular season game of the year against the Rams, the Seahawks were back on the practice field Thursday afternoon at the VMAC in Renton. They don't know which team they'll face in the Divisional round but that didn't matter - the Seahawks were focused solely on getting better as a team.
"For us, this week has really been focused on what we can do for our football team," said Russell Wilson after practice Thursday. "How can we improve our offense, how can we improve our defense, our special teams."
The bye week is offering the Seahawks a chance to "self-scout" - critique themselves and work on all the little things that will make a difference when it comes time to start their playoff run.
Thursday there was no scout team to face from this week's opposition, another luxury of the bye week. It was the Seahawks offense against the Seahawks defense.
Certainly that is one way to get better for Russell Wilson.
"To be able to go 1's versus 1's the whole entire day is always a good thing," he says. "Our defense is really good, and to go against them is really good for me, too; to go against our DB's and what they're seeing. Earl Thomas back there talking trash - so you get excited about that."
The Seahawks had the top-ranked defense in the NFC, ranking first in points allowed per game (14.4) and yards allowed per game (273.6).
Richard Sherman leads the NFL with 8 interceptions. Regardless, Sherman said Thursday the Seahawks defense was using this week to get even better.
"You use this week to relax and get your body right. Then you got practice, self-scout, evaluate, look at your game, see what you can do better, see what you have been having trouble with and you really get to work on your technique."
As for who he'd like to face in the divisional round of the playoffs - the 49ers, the Packers or the Saints - Sherman didn't have a preference.
"We'll play whoever comes. Good luck to everybody. They'll have a good time, but they're gonna have to deal with us when they get here," he said.
When one of those teams does get to CenturyLink Field, they'll face a defense that does nothing fancy or outrageous - they just attack and make the day miserable for opposing teams.
"Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn's motto is, 'You're gonna have to deal with us,'" said Sherman. "You're gonna know exactly what call we're in, exactly what defense we're in - and then we're gonna win."
The one concern with a bye week for teams is a letdown. Too long between games can be problematic as some teams lose their edge and then have to find it in a hurry. Following Thursday's practice Sherman wasn't worried about his team getting too relaxed.
"Once you get to a certain point in the season you get a certain rhythm, and I think we're starting to catch our stride and catch our rhythm and everyone is on the same page," he said.
"Chemistry-wise, our D-line is playing unbelievably, our linebackers are playing unbelievably. It's getting to the point where we really want it. Everybody's getting healthy, it's actually a great thing for our team."
... And a terrible thing for any team that has to come to Seattle for a playoff game.

I found a problem...after Cerulean City I headed to the Underground Path but I couldnt enter for some reason so I left and headed east to Rock Tunnel.
There is usually a tree that blocks the way, but there wasnt so I continued through. After reaching the Pokemon Center near the Power Plant I tried to go back to Cerulean City but the tree appeared. Without having Cut or Flash I am stuck in that route. =(
