When a top-secret program attempted to recreate the original Weapon X experiment that involved the feral mutant Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject who could survive the bonding process of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton. Seeking to take the project in a new direction, the project's director, Doctor Martin Sutter, recruited renowned mutant geneticist Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone.
Using the only available genetic sample from Weapon X, which was damaged, they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome after twenty-two attempts. Kinney proposed they create a female clone, and though her request was initially denied, she still went ahead and produced a viable female subject, prompting Sutter to reconsider. Despite resistance from his protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom Stutter had raised after Rice's father had been killed by a bestial Wolverine at the original Weapon X Project, Sutter allowed Kinney to proceed. As revenge for her insubordination, Rice forced Kinney to act as the surrogate mother for the clone, and she gave birth to "X-23."
Raised in captivity, X-23 was trained to be a weapon. Kinney did her best to ensure the child retained some semblance of humanity, but her efforts appeared to be in vain. After seven years, Rice had X-23 subjected to radiation poisoning in order to accelerate the activation of her mutant gene, and forcibly extracted her claws and coated them with Adamantium. Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent" that sent X-23 into an involuntary berserker rage upon smelling its presence.
X-23's services were sold to the highest bidder. She was left emotionally stunted as a result. Sarah Kinney let her out once, not as an attempt to escape but instead to use X-23 to help her find Kinney's niece, Megan, who has been kidnapped. X-23 found and rescued her with ease. Ultimately, Rice persuaded Sutter to hand control of the program over to him, then secretly ordered X-23 to kill Sutter and his family. X-23 was able to kill Sutter and his wife but was unable to kill their son. Instead she let him live. Later, Rice revealed to Kinney a chamber with dozens of incubation pods containing female clones before he fired her. Before fleeing the facility with X-23, Kinney gave her one last mission - destroy the pods and kill Rice. However, Rice was able to exact revenge on Kinney from beyond the grave, as he had earlier exposed her to the trigger scent, sending X-23 into a rage that caused her to kill her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 "Laura".

Lurie Cancer Center Receives $750,000 from Avon Walk Chicago
Grant Will Provide Access to Breast Care for Low-Income Women and Support Breast Cancer Research
The 11th annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer season continued with the Avon Walk in Chicago this weekend, raising more than $5.2 million to advance access to care and funding breast cancer prevention and treatment research. The Avon Walk Chicago attracted 2,400 participants from 40 states and Washington D.C., as well as Canada and Bermuda. Additionally, 292 breast cancer survivors and 379 men joined together to raise life-saving funds and awareness for breast cancer.
The Lurie Cancer Center, home of an Avon Foundation Breast Care Center of Excellence and the Avon Breast Cancer Research Laboratories, received a grant for $750,000. The grant will provide access to breast care for low-income women at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and the Erie Family Health Center. It will also support three research projects to identify new therapies to fight breast cancer and lower breast cancer risk.
Marc Hurlbert, executive director of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade, announced during the Closing Ceremony a total of $2.37 million in grants to eight local organizations, ensuring the funds raised immediately benefit the community. "One thing that sets the Avon Walk apart is that participants get to see their hard work pay off right away," said Hurlbert.
During the Closing Ceremony at Soldier Field Stadium Green, Kymberly Reynolds of Chicago, an 11-month breast cancer survivor, shared her battle with breast cancer with fellow Avon Walkers, Crew, family and friends: "I knew I had the strength to face breast cancer and beat it," said Reynolds. "My diagnosis encouraged me to look at my family tree, leading me to undergo genetic testing, which came back positive for the BRCA gene. Throughout my experience, the strength I found within opened my eyes to all of those who don't have access to the resources I did, and that is why I walk. That is why we all walk – to raise money for people in need."

Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze (1894)
Nothing To Sneeze At
Wonderful concept (man films man sneezing) gets bogged in melodramatic Hollywood sentimentality by a director clearly overexceeding himself. The film redeems itself however, with a wonderful performance by Fred Ott. Good, but not great. 7/10.
The Mighty Hercules (1963)
A Lesson In Shoestring-Budget Cartooning
The Greatest Cartoon You'll Never, Ever See Again. On Earth. Period.
"The Mighty Hercules" is a bygone animated classic, the likes of which are just not made today. With "Rocket Robin Hood" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Hercules" created a mighty trifecta of cartoon delights for the Gen-X set.
I mean, damn. Come on. You gotta know what I mean here.
"Hercules" was one of countless shoestring-budget cartoon creations to appear on the Saturday morning scene in the 70s and 80s. And while the show's original run existed in the Mighty Sixties, its true essence revealed itself through rerun after jaw-dropping rerun. And just how cheap was this program?
In one episode, Herc's nemesis, the conniving wizard Daedelus, gains control of a deadly flying dragon and instructs it to destroy Hercules. Out of the sky it spirals towards Herc, who runs headlong into battle...behind a giant rock. No fooling. The entire tussle takes place behind this rock. Now that's thrifty cartooning.
That aside, "Hercules" did boast some cool and laugh-inducing characters and scenes, like the aforementioned Daedelus, quite possibly one of animation's most heinous individuals. With squinted, shifty eyes, a black cloak, little pointy slippers and a handlebar mustache of handlebar mustaches, Daedelus and his equally shifty feline, Dido, attempt dastardly deeds on what seems a daily basis. Occasionally the Mask Of Vulcan would appear. This hombre was pretty much a Daedelus clone with a janitor's pail on his head who was invincible so long as he wore it -- so when he showed up Herc would somehow have to get it off with a tree branch. Then there was Willimene, who essentially was a chick-Daedelus. She had a parrot and spent much of her time beating on Herc's maiden, Helena.
But really, when dissecting "Hercules", one has to go no further than the sidekicks. Herc receives help in the form of Newton, a knock-kneed bumbling centaur with slight homosexual tendencies (and more than an inspiration for "The Simpsons" Waylon Smithers), and also Toot, a spritely sort of two-legged version of Newton who can only express himself through a piccolo. And speaking of cheap and careless cartoon-making, watch out for the one where Newton's voice changes mid-episode. This blatant disregard for quality and continuity may mark this program as, well, amateur...but in the spirit of kitsch and pop-culture, it's probably what puts "The Mighty Hercules" over the top as one of TV's true diamonds in the rough.
Oh yeah, and a theme song for the ages. Absolutely kickass.
3000 Miles to Graceland (2001)
This Ice-T's For You
Taking the road less traveled, here is a brief synopsis on what can arguably be called rapper-cum-actor Ice-T's greatest role to date. True, glancing at the cast of "3000 Miles to Graceland", the average Ice-T fan might be put off that his hero is so low in the billing. Then perusing through the film, the Ice-T fan might begin to wonder whether his hero's scenes were left on the editing room floor. At least, that's the impression one gets.
While it seems at other theaters, the dominant question was aimed at the movie's scripting and casting capabilities. At my local movie-house however, I did not let the movie get away so easily, having nearly reached the ending without revealing its unique hidden talent Ice-T waiting for his turn to shine.
Ice-T's character is named 'Hamilton'. He is a...
SPOILER! ...weapons specialist.
And as such, Hamilton is called in to bolster evil-Elvis Murphy's (Kevin Costner, in his finest role I might add, since playing the stiff in "The Big Chill") team in the big climactic shootout versus the Feds in a dark, theatrically-lit industrial warehouse. The result is spectacular. But Ice-T's contribution to this movie start earlier, and can be broken down into three main parts, or 'acts'.
Act I: The Introduction to Hamilton -- Upon arrival at the warehouse, Murphy states to fellow crony Howie Long ("Firestorm", the "NFL") that they need more firepower. Cue Ice-T, who Long boasts 'is a couple of guys (in one)'.
Act 2: Getting Inside Hamilton -- Murphy has thought ahead at this moment. Foreseeing a lengthy battle with the police, he has brought sandwiches. Offering one first to his child hostage ("even tough guys gotta eat", he says), he then offers one to Ice-T. "Would you like a jelly sandwich?" Murphy asks. Ice-T, to this point a silent-but-deadly type, sneers a Billy-Idol-squared sneer and replies. "Yeah", he retorts.
Act 3: Hamilton At Work -- Possibly the coup-de-gras moment of the entire film, Ice-T shows his creative chops, bursting into the final gun battle sliding upside-down on a cable, spinning, twirling, firing two automatics at once, and then...
SPOILER! ...he dies. Just like that. Like that kid in "Pay It Forward", he dies for the greater cause, which Costner's Murphy then kills when he dies himself minutes later. All in all, as I stated earlier, quite possibly Ice-T's greatest (and shortest) moment in film. See this movie for him. After all, if you were in "3000 Miles to Graceland", Ice-T would watch it for you.
To Die For (1995)
It's All About the Acting, Baby.
"To Die For" is a wonderful example of superb acting chops.
Directed by the Gus Van Sant with balls (egs. "My Own Private Idaho", "Drugstore Cowboy" -- later replaced by Gus Van Shmaltz of "Good Will Hunting and "Finding Forrester"), this is a dark and savvy picture, disturbing and funny, boasting one of the decade's finest acting performances by a member of the fairer sex. The presently available Nicole Kidman churns out her best role to date, delicately switching emotional channels between empowerment and ruthlessness. Often looking directly at the camera, her sense of confidence is overwhelming as she guides you through her story.
And while "To Die For" adopts a familiar tale, that of one-woman's-rise-to-fame-and-what-not, the steps it takes to get from Point A to Point B are truly original, tip-toeing through a virtual garden of backstabbing, deceit and murder.
Backed by a fine supporting cast including Matt Dillon, Joaquin Pheonix (watch out for this guy, right?), Casey Affleck, Wayne Knight (!) and Kurtwood Smith (!!!), "To Die For", in the end, is a woman's movie. Not to the kickass nth degree of "Thelma & Louise" mind you, but it is apparent navigating through this film that the ladies rule the coop. Alison Folland fleshes out a true-to-life teenager (having never acted before in her life, she, like "Dancer in the Dark"'s Björk, can only 'be'), and Illeana Douglas is more than a worthy adversary for Kidman.
The men, it seems, are merely here to get screwed around. And it is lovely to watch.
Check it out.
Thunder (1983)
Thunder Warrior: First Blood
Many were put off by Jeffrey Wright's portrayal of a Dominican drug lord in John Singleton's 2000 remake of "Shaft". The reason? Wright wasn't Hispanic. Not in any way. So the question begs to be asked, why was there no similar uproar when the white-as-snow Mark Gregory was cast as the Navajo lead in 1983's "Thunder Warrior"?
OK, so maybe I'm overstating here. Wright stole the show in "Shaft". Everybody talked about it. Gregory on the other hand, played out the role of Thunder to an audience of, well, zero. In fact, you'll be lucky to find a copy of "Thunder Warrior" in even the dankest of video cellars. And with good cause -- it like, totally stinks.
"Thunder Warrior", a gripping yarn about a lone soldier standing in the face of injustice, is a hot-blooded Reagan-era "Rambo" knockoff. And the parallels to Sly Stallone's "Rambo" are staggering: The vigilante lone-wolf warrior, the fighting-for-a-just-cause shtick, the massive odds piled up against him, yada yada yada. It's probably a purposeful move the producers made to keep this flick below radar, in order to avoid accusations of outright plagiarism.
Directed by Fabrizio de Angelis (the genius behind "Murder Alligator" and "Zombie Holocaust"), what we have here is a scorched tale of personal vengeance set in the American West, created by an Italian cast and crew, led of course by Gregory (ne, Marco di Gregario). In essence then, it's Spaghetti-Rambo.
But where "Thunder Warrior" splits from John Rambo comparisons is its level of quality. And by stretching the very definition of 'quality' to include "Rambo", surely now the abilities of "Thunder Warrior" can be understood. Combining chop-shop editing, stunted dialogue and stunts taken from "The A-Team" big book of tricks, it appears that poor Fabrizio's vision may not have been fully realized. And frankly, that's just sad. There is no action in this action movie. There are no thrills in this thriller. It defies any genre, the very reason the only place you'll find it now is in the five-cent bargain bin. Right next to its two(!) sequels.
Dungeons & Dragons (2000)
Ugh. Yuck.
'Dungeons and Dragons' is stupid as hell.
But props must be given to the producers for clinching the services of Jeremy Irons, whose presence marks the only difference between 'D&D' and a two-hour episode of 'Sinbad'. Irons notwithstanding, this movie is drivel and an insult to the intelligence of basement-residing D&D nerds worldwide. Yes, it's a dumb, dumb movie with a worthless script that must be blamed for the fact that Irons, an Oscar-winner for 'Reversal of Fortune', is outclassed by a Wayans brother. Granted, the guy has made dumb career moves in the past. Luckily he boasts very little screen time and is surrounded by a full complement of equally insipid performances (including Thora Birch in full 'Monkey Trouble' mode apparently reading cue cards).
Indeed, roughly by the midway point of this thing - when Bruce Payne's blue-Slurpee-lipped henchman Damodar catches thief Ridley (Justin Whalin) in the act of stealing a map and snickers "just like a thief, always taking things that don't belong to you" - you pretty much know what you've paid for...FX.
And plenty of them.
'D&D' is so mired in fantastical visions of gravity-defying CG structures and backdrops, I was surprised to find that the movie was primarily filmed in England and the Czech Republic(!). The snippets of the film not created on an iMac appeared to be pure Hollywood backlot material. And while many will and have realized, 'D&D' borrows - heavily - from other movies, notably some outrageously recognizable scenes straight out of both 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'.
Ugh. Yuck.
Rocket Robin Hood (1966)
A Timeless Treasure
Before the Golden Age of infomercials, many television networks relied on recycled episodes of way outdated programs. During what would become the prime-time of the infomercial industry (approximately 4:00 AM until dawn), youngsters in the 70s and 80s were exposed to a brief glut of super-subpar cartoons. These included an animated version of "The Mighty Hercules", "Max the 2,000 Year Old Mouse" (forgive me if I've reported this one wrong, it's been awhile) and "The Amazing Spider-Man". In Canada specifically, there was "Rocket Robin Hood".
Taking the chintzy animation of the aforementioned programs one step lower, "Rocket Robin Hood" graced Canuck TV sets for a brief moment in time in the mid-60s. But due to its rapid demise, many kids were introduced to the 'toon in subsequent decades. Featuring the melodramatic, sometimes comedic, sometimes outright inane adventures of the ubiquitous Sherwood Forest gang, the makers of "RRH" added a like, total 60s twist. They added the limitless possibilities of...The Future. "RRH" you see, took place in 'the fantastic year 3000' in a galaxy ruled by the evil despot Prince John and his fiendish aide, the Wicked Sheriff of Nott. And as for our merry men? They threw cosmic wrench after cosmic wrench into the Prince's schemes out of their base on the lush, green Sherwood Asteroid. By this point, you either see this as way trippy or totally psycho. In this hombre's opinion, those who witnessed the spectacle of "RRH" are truly blessed individuals, exposed to an endless wealth of kitschy pop culture material. Who could forget the timeless theme song, or the cute vignettes of each character that peppered each episode? Or the one time Robin squared off against the evil Infinata of Dementia Five (a feat that was duplicated shot for shot in an episode of "Spider-Man")? This is high-calibre stuff. Seek it out.
It is hoped that one day that this show will make a comeback, as chances are it's been relegated to the TV scrapyard for good. In the future perhaps, the ever-expanding array of channels will force someone to pick it up out of sheer desperation. Let's just hope it happens before the fantastic year 3000.
Reindeer Games (2000)
Ben Affleck is no tough guy.
Sure, he's got a big chin and the Deion Sanders swagger, but deep down he's just a Charles Atlas middleman of sorts -- not the pumped up Ahnuld-esque end result, but a few steps above the 90-pound weakling. And so to place him in an Ahnuld role seems, well...awkward.
"Reindeer Games" is the byproduct of this awkwardness. It's a sloppy, uneven and groan-inducing effort not worthy of the talent involved, including Affleck. It reminds me of an old "Kids In The Hall" TV sketch about a doctor/quack who coasts through med-school entirely on charm. Similarly, Affleck attempts to glide through this film on puppy-dog eyes, a Luke Perry forehead and a rat's smile. And he comes off looking like a jerk.
John Frankenheimer, phoning this one in, fails to capture any of the magic of his earlier films (heck, this ain't even on par with "Ronin"). Charlize Theron plays the harlot. Gary Sinise is the bad guy (well duh, he's got long hair). And like I said, Affleck is the jerk. "Reindeer Games" lacks brains, lacks credibility, lacks fun and lacks energy. It has nothing but an ending of blatantly moronic twists straight out of an episode of "Scooby-Doo".
Long story short, it's a Razzie nominee if there ever was one. But it also preaches a valuable lesson: Don't put the 90-pound weakling into the fight until he's ready. Otherwise, he gets ridiculed. And he gets the snot pounded out of him.
The Replacements (2000)
Based of course, on the infamous 1987 NFL players' strike, "The Replacements" feels as if it should have been made in 1987. Featuring the mind-numbingly stereotypical gaggle of misfits and outcasts, this film definitely leans more towards "Major League" forgettability than "Bull Durham" loftiness. And mind-numbingly-stereotypical might be the summary on this turkey. Take a moment and consider every possible sports cliché you can. Got 'em all? No? Well, the makers of "The Replacements" left no cliché stone unturned, believe you me - capped off with the most inane rah-rah speech ever put to celluloid (voiced soullessly by what-the-hell-am-I-doing-here Gene Hackman). By now you're gettin' that I didn't appreciate this thing, and maybe you're wondering "well, what about Keanu?"
Yeah, what about Keanu? Here's a hint: Remember what Mark Hamill did between "Star Wars" movies?
For a film trumpeting the merits of second chances, Keanu clearly takes a colossal bite out of his at the Hollywood A-List (having secured it of course, with "The Matrix", he is in full "Johnny Mnemonic" mode here). Of course, with two more "Matrix" movies on the way, Keanu can quietly cash his check and move on. It makes one wonder though, that this is the same bloke in "Little Buddha". Maybe the guy does have some acting range after all.
Incidentally, the only saving grace maybe, was Jon Favreau as the bull-in-the-china-shop sack machine, even though he reminded me of what's-his-name from the "Police Academy" series.
Steer clear, men. Football season is only a few weeks away.
The Big Snit (1985)
Canadians Have The Best Shorts
Richard Condie is a Canadian marvel, and one that should be shared with the world. Be it for gut-busting early work such as "Getting Started" and the Oscar-nominated "Snit" through "The Apprentice" and the digitally made "La Salla", Condie is a treasured local hero. But no singular piece of work puts a stamp on his career quite like "The Big Snit". And did I mention it was nominated for an Academy Award? Darn tootin'.
"The Big Snit", although clearly a dated message-bearer from the 1980s (the short revolves around Cold War-esquire nuclear annihilation, but don't worry it's hilarious as hell), carries with it a larger meaning, as is most of Condie's work in an understated sort of way. While the planet scurries for cover from Armageddon, a couple bickers over each others' annoying habits (in true Condie fashion, he hacksaws the furniture while she shakes her eyes literally). And don't forget to watch it again and again, 'cuz there's always something to look at. Condie loads this fella up with countless visual gags and memorable catch-phrases.
I strongly encourage this incredible piece of animation be tracked down. In Canada it's usually spotted in a National Film Board video that includes other stellar shorts (including fellow Winnipegger Cordell Barker's equally funny "The Cat Came Back"). Americans will just have to dig a little deeper, but keep at it the reward is worth the toil.

In terms of improving your home, getting a new kitchen is one of The Big Ones. Although not everyone's prepared to put up with the cost and upheaval of ripping out whatever's there and starting again, thankfully there are loads of ways to give your space a facelift without investing in a whole new kitchen.
If you're essentially happy with your layout, consider replacing just the cabinet doors. Several companies now specialise in this service, offering every style from colourful high-gloss to simple, uncluttered Shaker. New worktops, tiling and splashbacks take more work and may require some professional help, but really will give your kitchen a brand-new look. Alternatively, spray-paint existing doors: the paint goes on thinly and evenly, with no brush marks, and comes in scores of colours and finishes. Finish with new handles, and your doors will be unrecognisable.
Your counter-top gadgets – kettle, toaster, blender – are on show all the time, so why not make them stylish? Match them to your overall look for a really coherent finish, from 50s-retro for vintage fanatics to stainless steel for the minimalists.
The joy of these ideas is that they can be done piecemeal, over the course of a number of weeks. Less stress, less money, and a good-as-new kitchen in the end.

ESSEX made a strong start to their LV= County Championship Division Two game against Gloucestershire but the visitors were frustrated as the match was interrupted by bad weather for the second day running.
David Masters led the Essex charge, taking four wickets for 39 runs as Gloucestershire were reduced to 104 for six before play was prematurely stopped for bad light and rain after 31.1 overs.
Winning the toss and choosing to field, Essex looked to make up for lost time after the elements had ensured not a single ball had been bowled on day one at the County Ground.
Gloucestershire made a disastrous start as they fell to nought for two after just three overs with both Michael Klinger and William Tavare removed for ducks by Masters.
Klinger, who has now scored just three runs in his last three innings, was the first to go as he was clean bowled and, three balls later, Tavare joined him when he played straight into the hands of Ben Foakes.
Opener Chris Dent dug in and together with Alex Gidman, Gloucestershire looked like they might begin to build a platform.
In the seventh over, however, Gidman (13) fell to the bowling of Graham Napier, nicking the ball behind for keeper James Foster to catch, leaving the hosts in trouble at 23 for three.
Gloucestershire's morning went from bad to worse soon after as Napier took his ninth wicket of the Championship season when he bowled Hamish Marshall for four.
Will Gidman (21) managed eight better than his brother but was unable to turn an encouraging start into a big score as Masters induced the edge and Alastair Cook held on at first slip.
However, Dent, fresh from a half-century at Glamorgan, kept the Gloucestershire score respectable as he hit eight fours on his way to 47.
Just as the opener looked to clinch his half-century, play was stopped for bad light before heavy rain extended the delay.
The action temporarily resumed later and it took just eight balls for Essex to add another scalp to their tally as Cameron Herring (10) edged Masters' delivery into the gloves of Foster.
Ian Saxelby joined Dent at the crease but in the 32nd over the umpires again sent the players back into the pavilion for bad light before more rain saw the day's play brought to an early close.

Make disciples…
There have been a few good posts about discipleship this week: Terry Goodwin's "Making Disciples That Make Disciples", Alan Hirsch's "leadership as an extension of discipleship", and Bob Roberts' "Platforms or Disciples?" Quoting from Roberts:
If churches, denominations, networks, etc. put as much energy and resources into making disciples as they did organizing events, institutions, etc. I'm convinced it would speed up engagement dramatically. I hate the terminology of using "platforms†to engage society. You don't have to. Make a disciple, help them understand their primary ministry is their vocation, and it should be lived out as a disciple and you'll see God work and move. This is the only way the Gospel can and will ever be viral.
I like this idea of the gospel being viral. Of course, a viral can only be spread if the person infected in contact with people who are not infected. Unfortunately, I think that many of our "church" practices and programs tend to place infected people in isolation – away from others who need to be infected with the gospel.
I love the church. I love gathering together with brothers and sisters in Christ. I love to hear what God is doing in their lives and how God is changing them and how they are maturing. I love teaching and being taught. This is all very important. But, we are not infecting new people with the virus of the gospel when we spend all of our time with other believers.
I enjoy discussing theology. I enjoy studying Scripture and the writings of others and diving into different nuances of the apostles' teachings. I enjoy hearing the different perspectives concerning ecclesiology, leadership, discipleship, the Lord's Supper, baptism, etc. This is all very important. But, we are not infecting new people with the gospel when we spend all of our time discussing theology.
The gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. God has chosen to deliver this gospel – this power to salvation – through his people. He has infected us with the gospel so that we can infect others. The assumption, of course, is that we will live among other people – that is, those who have not been impacted by the power of the gospel. The assumption, of course, is that we will make time in our lives to speak and serve others so that the gospel will be made known to them. The assumption, of course, is that we will not place ourselves in isolation.
I like this idea of the gospel being viral. It reminds me that I have been infected with the power of God that is effective toward my salvation. It reminds me that I cannot make disciples if I do not interact with people who have not been infected.

One of the really amazing things I've noticed is that few people are persuaded by an argument, but few people can refute a changed life.
What did John the Baptist say? "Bear fruit in keeping with repentance." That's the kingdom of God at hand.
Besides programs and the like as in this quote –
If churches, denominations, networks, etc. put as much energy and resources into making disciples as they did organizing events, institutions, etc. I'm convinced it would speed up engagement dramatically
we also spend a whole lot of time teaching one way to interpret the scriptures, and, I think we do this because we believe that this is what it means to make a disciple. I'm concerned that we've missed the boat entirely. It's not programs or events; it's not sound atonement theology. It is following Jesus – living as He did, walking as He did, praying as He did, giving as He did, dying as He did.
David and Bryan,
Yes! You're both absolutely right.

It's design, not technology
Post a comment
Technology is dead. Welcome to the Age of Design. Intel etched tech's epitaph in stone at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month when it summarily buried the dropped "e'' in the company's logo and raised up a sexy swoop around the Intel name with the tagline "Leap Ahead.'' The geeky, nerdy "Intel Inside'' logo, a fixture since 1991, is now, along with Silicon Valley, six feet under. Intel's new CEO, Paul Otellini, is the first nontech exec to head the house that Noyce, Moore and Grove built.
Here lies the chip: R.I.P.
Cut to Davos, Switzerland, a week after Intel's interment, to the World Economic Forum, where Synopsys CEO Aart de Geus--a man who knows something about silicon, design engineering and business--told a reporter that he's attended the forum for six years in a row because the elite event has a "humanitarian dimension" that appeals to CEOs tired of being fixated on the bottom line.
Slowly but surely, microprocessors, chips, computers, operating systems, the very network itself, are becoming less relevant to consumers and less important from both a marketing and product-positioning perspective. Increasingly, Carver Mead is being shouldered aside by Margaret Mead.
Otellini and de Geus, two vocal proponents of emphasizing the human side of the engineering equation, are on to something. And the Valley's engineering, tech-centric community should take note. Together, CES and WEF pretty much span the mainstream of global technological, business, economic and cultural interests that unite, and divide, today's media-centric world. For that reason, whatever happens in these venues helps shape the industry's overall direction.
And while it may be arguable whether technology is actually dead, it most certainly wants--and needs--to become transparent, if not completely invisible to today's techless, clueless consumer. This reality has been manifest at CES for years and is clearly embodied in Intel's "Leap Ahead" marketing campaign--a new direction with a tagline that is marketing shorthand for "all that matters is the experience."
Within the industry, a rising sentiment and chorus of complaint holds that the tech sector has gotten too geeky and nerdy for its own good. And for some die-hard techy ideologues, that's just fine. "Things," not "people," are what count in electronic design, some would have us believe. But the chorus of dissent against this sentiment is on the rise, and ever so slowly, the social sciences and the cultural realities of a flat but highly diversified tech sector are beginning to bubble to the surface.
It appears as though the cold, soulless world of submicron silicon geometrics and robotic place and route iterations are giving way to a warmer, fuzzier engineering realm in which designing for the human experience is trumping the engineering ego trip.
Design, not technology, has captured the consumer's imagination, as anyone who has twirled a fingertip around iPod's elegantly simple dial pad can attest.
The potential of great design has also captured the imagination of the world's leaders and, knowing Aart de Geus, I'd say he's ahead of the curve and prescient in his notion that the "humanitarian dimension" is the next great global economic driver.
When "all that matters is the experience," design moves to the front of the bus and technology takes a back seat. That was the message at both CES and at Davos this year.
Silicon and software technology are becoming transparent and invisible in today's computer and communications media-intensive world. It's an environment in which "invisible facilitation" is rapidly emerging as the design rule of the day.
From the perspective of computer science, communications and electronic engineering, the design of human interfaces, as opposed to technology, has never been more important. Enter Margaret Mead and the notion that the social sciences and humanities are emerging as bedfellows to science and technology, especially in today's electronic-intensive media culture and society.
As technology, culture and media converge, designers of all stripes, including electronic engineers, are being compelled to take a "cross-disciplinary" approach to product design. That was the resounding message at this month's Media Summit New York, where the seamless media-technology-interface-for-consumers theme echoed the Great Leap Forward motif of CES.
In one Thursday afternoon session, "Inventing Next Generation Communications--Interdisciplinary Collaboration--Computer Science, Engineering Design and Personal and Social Communications," a panel of industry and academic representatives urged designers to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to media design.
Striking a tone that's begun to permeate engineering and design discussions from Silicon Valley to Schenzen, panelist Doug Rushkoff, author of Get Back in the Box, a treatise on innovation, urged designers and engineers "to be more human" and to take a "cross-disciplinary" approach to integrating computer and communication devices into media applications.
"The goal is to achieve invisible facilitation," Rushkoff said. He noted that technology must become totally invisible, and "as technologists talk to content companies and content companies talk to the network, all that matters is the experience."
"It's not about content, it's about contact--contact with people," Rushkoff observed, echoing the design themes of Davos and CES. These are trends that seem certain to reshape the future of product-development cycles in the media world as bits and bytes and speeds and feeds and the chips "inside" technology itself give way to more human-centric, experience-driven device and interface designs.
This chorus isn't limited to pundits and industry executives. It's begun to permeate the ranks of the tech community at several levels, including the rank and file of the working engineering and computer-science community.
On his blog and Web site, one self-described "geek defector," Chun-shek Chan, has documented his personal journey from the narrow world of programming into a richer, deeper, more-connected lifestyle, asserting that he likes "Web technologies and internationalization because they connect computers and people closer together than they have ever been."

L'Occitane Marseille Soap Reviews
Big beautiful long lasting barI admit, I have a thing for soap. The bigger the bar, the better. This bar is huge (L'Occitane's biggest) and even after using it daily for 4 months I still have some left. It is lightly fragranced, just enough to smell nice in the shower, but not enough to scent your skin. — 4 years, 9 months agoNotJustGingerly | 143 reviews

The Puritans (A Webquest)
Introduction: As the map below indicates, the Puritans had an enormous influence on the development of New England, including Connecticut. The purpose of this Webquest is for you to learn about these influential settlers and to practice your research, cooperative, and oral presentation skills.
The Task: You will work with a group of four or five students using the web to locate and record the answers to ten questions about the Puritans. Then, you will prepare a short oral presentation on two of the questions.
The Process:
1. Meet with your group members.
2. Write each of the following questions on a separate index card:
- Why did the Puritans come to the "New World"?
- What were the religious beliefs of the Puritans and how did they influence their communities?
- What is the difference between a Pilgrim and a Puritan?
- Who was the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and what are important facts about his life?
- What did John Winthrop mean by a "city upon a hill"?
- What did the Puritans do for fun?
- How did the Puritans get along with the Native Americans?
- What happened to Anne Hutchinson?
- What happened to Roger Williams?
- How tolerant were the Puritans of people who had different ideas from them?
3. Divvy the questions up among group members. Remember, you don't know which questions you will be required to present; all group members must do quality work! Also, be kind to your fellow group members; if you find information that answers someone else's question, let them know! Some sites will partly answer several questions. When sites are primarily focused on one question, I have tried to make that evident in the title.
4. As you research, record the facts you discover about your questions on the appropriate card(s).
5. When each group member has located the answer to his/her questions, reconvene as a group and have members share information. All members of the group are responsible for knowing the answers to the questions.
6. See me to find out which questions you will present.
7. Prepare a short oral presentation of information on the two questions. Each member of the group should participate in the presentation.
Resources: TIP! Use the find command (hold down the control button, hit the "f" key, and type a word) to help you locate useful information in a document quickly. For example, if you are looking for information about Roger Williams, type "Williams." The word will be highlighted where it appears in the document. Or, if you locate a document that is not entirely about the Puritans, you can type "Puritans" to locate the section in which they appear.
- A good overview that mentions many important Puritans
- John Winthrop source that answers lots of other questions
- Basic information
- Pilgrims & Puritans: Which is which?
- You can learn a lot about people by what they say. A collection of Puritan quotes.
- Who wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas? The Pilgrims and the Puritans!
- Some heavier reading about Puritan beliefs
- Winthrop's City Upon a Hill sermon
- Amusements in Colonial New England
- The Pequot War
Using a search engine, you may want to type keywords such as Hutchinson, Roger Williams, and John Winthrop. I like http://www.google.com/
Presentations will be graded using the following criteria:
Beginning oral presentations involve one or two members of the group. The clarity with which group members speak is poor and members are often difficult to hear; pacing is very poor. Members do not emphasize important words and usually speak in a monotone. Group members exhibit very little poise and rarely make eye contact with the audience. The presentation frequently contains wording from the sources provided. The information is rarely clear, accurate, or thorough; the group is able to answer few questions with ease.
Developing oral presentations involve only some members of the group. The clarity with which group members speak is inconsistent and members are sometimes difficult to hear; pacing is poor. Members emphasize few important words and often speak in a monotone. Group members exhibit little poise and occasionally make eye contact with the audience. The presentation often contains wording from the sources provided. The information is somewhat clear, accurate and thorough; the group is able to answer some questions with ease.
Accomplished oral presentations involve most members of the group. Group members speak clearly and are loud enough to be heard by the audience most of the time; pacing may vary. Members emphasize some important words and rarely speak in a monotone. Each group member exhibits some poise and usually sustains eye contact with the audience. The presentation is usually in students' own words. The information is usually clear, accurate, and thorough; the group is able to answer most questions with ease.
Exemplary oral presentations involve each member of the group. Group members consistently speak clearly and are loud enough to be heard by the audience; pacing is neither too fast nor too slow. Members emphasize important words and avoid speaking in a monotone. Each group member exhibits much poise and consistently sustains eye contact with the audience. The presentation is in students' own words. The information is very clear, accurate, and thorough; the group is able to answer questions with ease.
Conclusion: You now have a good overview of the Puritans and have had the opportunity to practice some of the skills emphasized in this first unit. Next, we will examine how tensions in a Puritan community boiled over and resulted in the Salem witch trials.

Australian Prime Minister confident about pings; search area narrowed
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbottsays "we are very confident" the signals heard are coming from Flight370's black boxes.{}
Search crews hunting for MalaysiaAirlines Flight 370 have zeroed in on a more targeted area in the Indian Oceanin their search for the source of sounds they believe could be coming from the flight'sflight data and cockpit voice recorders.
Abbott also says search crews aregetting into the stage where signals coming from the black boxes are startingto fade.{} The batteries are designed tolast around 30 days.{} The flight vanishedMarch 8.
Theplane's black boxes are vital and may contain the answers to why MA flight 370 lostcommunications and disappeared.{}

Scooters belong in the city, not the country. You will not find this rule in any state-issued manuals or literature, like you won't find mandates barring hookers from church. The limits of scooting must be learned through trial and error, in the places where cultures collide.
I learned this the day I got my motorcycle license, somewhere near the Pasco County line.
I was headed north on U.S. 41 to visit my friend Michael, when a car roared past in the fast lane. It was a mess of a vehicle, with a message scrawled across the rear window in white shoe polish: "I LOVE YOU RACHEL!!!" I wondered who could love this "Rachel," knowing full well that she could afford only a sputtering heap to haul her books back and forth to high school.
A few yards past me, Rachel mashed the brakes then fired the gas so we were cruising side-by-side at 60 mph
This speed in an automobile is no big deal. On a scooter, however, especially one made by children in China, 60 mph feels like fuzzy fear, like you might suddenly warp.
If I could have seen myself reflected through the filth encompassing Rachel's car, I might have seen an excited man in his early 30s on his first high-speed motorcycle ride, clinging dramatically to the handlebars, hunkered low against the wind, as if in prayer. It would not have mattered one bit that the man was wearing child-sized sunglasses (he couldn't find any normal ones at home) and a large half-helmet, which made his head look like a shiny mushroom.
Look at him! I might have thought. He's having such fun!
The passenger window slowly lowered to reveal a girl, no older than 16, with hair the color of roasted corn.
Had I dropped something a mile back, and were these good Samaritans returning it? Were these cheerleaders from the local high school who wanted a closer look at the hunk on the hog?
The passenger poked her head out the window until her hair was a whirling mess around her cupped hands.
"Kitty cat!" she yelled. Except it was another word for the same thing.
Her window went up, pinning the cackles inside the car. Rachel stepped on the gas.
This is how it is with scooters. They are the peasants of the road, the sheep herders, the homeless vets, the put-upon hobos who sleep on the steps of the Catholic church.
I gave a thumbs-up to a man in a pickup with a "Motorcycles Are Everwhere" bumper sticker. He just laughed at me.
My daughters, who are 4 and 2, have begun calling my scooter "Scootie," as in, "Daddy, are you gonna ride Scootie today?"
"It's scoot-ER," I say through clenched teeth. "Not scoot-EE."
I bought the thing out of sheer logic, giving little thought to the complexities of riding it. My Pathfinder gets about 2 miles to the gallon, and I must drive daily from my house in Tampa to the Times building in downtown St. Petersburg, which was stealing food from the mouths of my children. I also like the idea of helping the environment, mainly because I can't shake the memory of a photograph I saw in elementary school of a bird ensnared by plastic six-pack rings.
I should get a scooter, I said one day to my wife.
At first, she stood opposed. What if you wreck? she kept asking.
Cars wreck, too, I kept telling her. And think of all the ice cream you could buy with the extra money!
My mother was concerned, too. This is a woman who has used personal anecdotes for years to frighten her children. When we lived near train tracks, she told a story about her Uncle Marty, who lost his leg while trying to board a moving train. She knew people injured in every way imaginable. Diving into shallow pools. Choking on hot dogs.
"We want a trampoline!" my brothers and I would shout.
Not so fast, she'd say, whipping out some tale about a quadriplegic cousin.
My wife and I went shopping one afternoon at a motorcycle store on a seedy stretch of Nebraska Avenue, Wheels-N-Deals or some such place. Several bearded men were sitting under a carport in the parking lot, smoking cigarettes and swatting mosquitoes. I inspected the scooter selection, pretending I was checking on certain things like gaskets and cogs and whatnot.
I set my eyes on one at the end of the row.
"How much for this one?" I asked one of the men.
"You want the pink one?" my wife interrupted.
"That's not pink," I whispered. The sun had bleached the red seat into a softer, more friendly red. Definitely not pink.
One of the men cast me a look that seemed to say, You're gonna make me stand up? And for what? A scootie?
After some negotiations I rode away on a slightly weathered Jmstar, I think (the name brand uses a symbol, sort of like @, which I don't know how to pronounce). When we got home, I dove into the owner's manual, but all I found were some illustrations and confused sentences that attempt to explain "HOW TO RIDE MOTORCYCLE."
• Add gasoline slowly with throttle grip and then motorcycle will move forward smoothly.
• Do not add much gasoline suddenly with throttle grip to prevent motorcycle out rust unexpectedly.
• Brake or turn around abruptly many case slip-up and fall-down. It is very dangerous.
• The road surface in rain is different from which in sunshine.
I picture the authors of this booklet standing around a computer in Shanghai, pencils behind their ears, sleeves rolled up, trying to make life-or-death instructions translate for people on the other side of the globe.
There are so many things to say, one of them says, but we know so few English words!
In the end, they bridge the gap between two cultures the best they can.
I wanted to shout at Rachel and her friend that day, words that would penetrate their souls. I wanted them to understand that I am not a wimp, but a man who cares about birds and other creatures, who loves his children enough to subject himself to ridicule from homely-looking high-schoolers hurtling down the highway.
I thought about flipping them the bird, but I was too scared to take my hand off the handlebar.

We knew about the new HP 2710p Tablet back in May: we saw the options and the specs, but we had to wait until today for the price and shipping info. If you hop over to the 2710p product page, you'll see this 3.6-pound convertible start at $1,649 and topping out at $2,478 for the pre-configured models. You've got a choice of operating systems between Vista Business 32- or 64-bit, XP Tablet Edition or FreeDOS. Up to 4 GB of RAM is available in the the two SODIMM slots, although that's an add-on as all of the pre-configured choices are either one or two GB of RAM. Don't miss the compatible accessories: I like the 65W AC/Auto/Airplane charger for $119. Looks like you can add one of these to your cart and have it shipped later this week.

Tobias ben Jacob & Lukas Drinkwater – The Burning Low EP
The new EP is almost ready to go! We've been so keen to share this record with you and lots of people have been asking us for new music.
The project has stopped and stalled along the way whilst we considered a few record label offers and got caught up in the whir and haze of summer festivals.
We've decided after to all to release this record independently as having a product that we own and can sell at gigs will be a great asset for us and will help us keep the whole project going.
Perhaps we are also curious to find out if this will work, to gain new grass-roots fans along the way and to celebrate this type of independent music making.
Every pledge will go towards the costs of recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, manufacturing and promoting the EP.
The 5 track EP includes highlights 'Burning Low' and 'We Are The First Ones Now' (featuring the sublime vocal harmonies of Wildwood Kin.) As well as live favourite 'The Devil & Tobias ben Jacob'
Can we reach the target in only 30 days?!
The record was recorded at Valvestatic Studios, Exeter with Jolyon Holroyd.
Original Sleeve Design by Birdonabox.

Tree stand accident injures New Richmond man
Brian VanSomeren hopes his pain is a good reminder for every Wisconsin hunter heading into the woods this weekend.
VanSomeren, New Richmond, Wis., was moving his tree stand to a new location near Baldwin on Sunday and had no idea what was about to happen.
When he attached the hunting equipment to the tree and tightened the nylon strap, he thought he was good to go for the Saturday, Nov. 17, opener. He hopped up on the stand to give it a try and bounced a few times to make sure everything was secure.
Moments later, VanSomeren was falling to the ground 16 feet below.
"I usually put it at 20 feet, but I kept it down a little bit because it's gun season," he said. "That was a good thing."
VanSomeren, 41, said he landed squarely on his feet, but the force of the fall snapped his head back as he landed on the ground.
"I was kind of groggy after that," he said.
He said he was fortunate to have two people along with him, so they were able to assist him after the fall.
A visit to the hospital revealed he had compressed three vertebrae, had a hairline fracture in one vertebra, and had torn ligaments and muscles in his back and neck.
VanSomeren was fitted with a full neck collar and he has an appointment with a back and neck surgeon later this week to see if surgery may be needed in the future.
Even if surgery is not required, VanSomeren said his recovery period will be at least a month.
"You never think something like this is going to happen to you," he said. "But it can."
VanSomeren said he wanted to call the newspaper after his fall, so that others might avoid the same situation that befell him.
"With the new nylon straps instead of the old chain style tree stands, after a while the straps wear out," he explained. "Me speaking out could save someone's life."
Despite all the pain, VanSomeren said his condition won't change his plans for the weekend.
"It's not going to stop me from hunting on Saturday, I can tell you that," he said with a laugh.

When we look around this world, we see all kinds of suffering – fires, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms of nature and, sadly, man-made storms.
ST. ELMO – Much like when the blades of a windmill rotate in the breeze, when Ramsey senior Morgan Miller winds up to spike down a kill or serve an ace, there is a certain energy that can be created.
And while the electricity created by a windmill can be quantified, the energy Miller creates with a big play or a word of encouragement is invaluable to the Lady Rams.
The Vandals had three scores of at least 50 yards last Friday while piling up more than 300 rushing yards in a 42-6 rout of Roxana to earn their seventh straight homecoming victory.
Senior Levi Ulmer broke free for touchdown runs of 57 and 50 yards en route to a 132-yard effort for the game, and fellow senior Bryan Hosick dashed to the end zone on a 60-yard play as part of his 105-yard night.
Luke Smith, a junior, also had a 48-yard run, and Hosick added a 34-yard scamper during the home opener.
BROWNSTOWN – St. Elmo swept all three games at the fifth annual Volley for a Cure game against Brownstown on Tuesday.
The Lady Eagles won the varsity contest, 25-19, 17-25, 25-18, the JV match, 25-18, 21-25, 25-20, and the freshmen/sophomore match, 25-11, 25-16.
Both coaches, however, knew they were playing for more than wins and losses, as all proceeds from the game went to cancer research.
The Vandalia High School volleyball team put last Tuesday's loss at Carlinville behind them two days later, storming by Piasa, 25-5, 25-15, last Thursday night to get back on the winning side.
"It was huge," said coach Allison Smith. "We worked really hard yesterday in practice on the little things that have hurt us so far this year."
Those particulars – such as maintaining effort, moving on defense and serving aggressively – were all displayed during the win against the Lady Birds.
The Vandals finished first in the match against Litchfield and Christ Our Rock, and individual results from that match and the rest of the week are on Page 3B in the scoreboard.
The Vandalia Community High School Hall of Fame grew by four last Friday night, as the induction ceremony was held for the 2011 class.
EFFINGHAM – The St. Elmo Junior High School softball team made a comeback, but fell short in the end against St. Anthony during the regional championship game on Monday.
The Jr. Lady Eagles erased an early 6-2 deficit, but allowed eight runs in the last two innings to give St. Anthony the 14-6 win.
"I am very proud of the girls for the way they competed this year," said assistant coach Tom Fedrigon. "This is a very talented and hard-working group of athletes.
"This is definitely something to build on for next year."
ST. ELMO – There was plenty of fight in the Ramsey High School volleyball team on Monday night, but there just wasn't enough time for it to beat St. Elmo.
The Lady Rams won the first set and made a nice comeback in the second, but St. Elmo led the entire third set to win the match, 23-25, 25-19, 25-17.
"Our middle (hitters) found a weakness in their defense and took advantage," said St. Elmo coach Elise Asher. "(And) we found a spot in their serve-receive that we could take advantage of."

JERUSALEM (Aug. 30)
The serious shortage of engineers and architects in Israel's Civil Service led the government today to decide to give scholarships for the study of engineering and architecture to promising students at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa. The scholarships, however, will go only to students willing to sign up for a minimum of two years' government service at the conclusion of their studies.
A committee comprised of representatives of government ministries and consultants drawn from the Technion staff will decide on scholarship applications. Recipients of the study grants will serve in the Housing, Interior and Labor Ministries after graduation. The recruiting of qualified professional workers has been used for some years by the Israel Defense Forces.

When should i be worried i hadnt had any since i had my little girl , im 5 days pp now and just got one that was pretty big imo , when should i be worried ? How big is too big?
I was told golf ball size to go in and get checked.
I was told anything bigger than a toonie. Wait if you're not Canadian, that doesn't help. It's a little bigger than a dollar coin.
It was not bigger than a golf ball but if it does get that big should i go to the er or call my ob?
Quoting iisabell:" It was not bigger than a golf ball but if it does get that big should i go to the er or call my ob?"
If you are worried, go ahead an call. I think the biggest clot I had was the size of a nickel and that was after my oldest was born (I also bled for nearly 8 weeks but couldn't go to my PP appointment because my insurance got canceled). With my baby I don't think I had any clots bigger than a pencil eraser.
Golf ball sized clots are not good. Mine gave been big, it's scary lol but not that big
I had a day or so that I bled pretty heavy. It was about a week after delivery. I called my midwife and she said it was normal. It's just working it's way out. I was told that it was good I was cramping, like menstrual cramps, and breastfeeding helps. My clots got as big as a half dollar almost. She said that was because when I sat down it pooled and made clots (gross I know) but it was normal. But you should call your ob and ask so you are assured. It does help. It only lasted about a day and said as long as I'm not filling a heavy pad in less than 30 mins I just needed to rest and chill out for a couple days. I rested for 2-3 days and felt loads better. Hope that helps =) Rest up!

For Citizen Gore, The Cause is Global
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, June 4, 2006
There is a message that former Vice President Al Gore wants to spread about global warming. He repeats it often in the new documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," in his book of the same name coming out on June 13 from Rodale Books and in the multimedia presentation that he has delivered as the Johnny Appleseed of climate crises more than 1,000 times since leaving office.
"(Global warming) has steadily risen over the last four decades to be, by far, the most important challenge that we face," he says. "I believe that it is a planetary emergency, and now the debate is over. The consensus is in. It's real. We're causing it. The effects are really bad. We can fix it. It is not too late."

The man who won the popular vote for the United States presidency in 2000, only to lose the election over the disputed Florida electoral votes, has been on tour recently, appearing alongside "An Inconvenient Truth" director Davis Guggenheim to promote the film.
If Gore bears any residual bitterness over the election, it is not evident on this May morning at San Francisco's St. Regis Hotel. He and Guggenheim are both chipper, pleased with their reception the night before when they took part in a Q&A after a screening of the film.
Portrayed as wooden and stiff on the campaign trail, Gore is, in fact, personable, warm and funny, with a deadpan, acid wit. There are two voice recorders on the table, but only one journalist in the room, a measure he is told to ensure the interview is preserved.
"Oh, it didn't bother Diebold," he snorts.
Gore has been busy since leaving the White House. He and his wife, Tipper, set up their household in Nashville and he is a visiting professor at Middle Tennessee State University in nearby Murfreesboro. In addition, he is chairman of the London firm Generation Investment Management, and he has established Bay Area roots as a member of Apple's board of directors, an adviser to Google and chairman of Current TV, a San Francisco youth-oriented satellite and cable channel.
But it is on the road, sounding the alarm about the threat posed by global warming, where he in his element.
"He's a master teacher, he really is, and not just about global warming, but about how you live your life and how you dedicate your life to things you believe in and speak truth," Guggenheim says. "He doesn't get paid. It's not an easy life. He goes from airport to airport. I've seen it. It's in the film."
The film follows Gore as he tours with his slideshow, a constantly evolving presentation that he tailors to each audience and alters as he gathers more ammunition for his argument. In the lectures that Guggenheim captures, a new addition to the show includes a section on the disastrous 2005 hurricane season, capped by the deadly Katrina.
Interspersed with that are biographical snippets that take a measure of the man and his sense of passionate commitment through the events that have altered his life: his sister's 1984 death from lung cancer, an irony given that the Gores grew up on the family tobacco farm; the 1989 car accident that nearly killed his then 6-year-old son; and the 2000 election upset.
Gore's obsession with climate change began long before any of those events, dating back nearly 40 years to a class he took from Harvard Professor Roger Revelle.
"As a young student, I felt that there was something different about what he was telling us, compared to what other teachers were saying," he says. "And being given the opportunity to see that truth when it first emerged was very special."
Revelle's teachings stayed with Gore, and he continued to follow the science. In 1977, during his first term as a U.S. representative from Tennessee, he began having open meetings with his constituents. From those meetings evolved the slideshow, which today he delivers with the seasoned timing of an agile comic, leavening his ominous message with humor and the optimism that -- despite the current administration's refusal to address the issue -- disaster can be averted.
Gore admits he was skeptical when Guggenheim and the film's producers first approached him about making a documentary, worried that entertainment would trump the science. But he also recognized it as an opportunity to get his message across to many more people, even as he concedes that a documentary about global warming is not necessarily an easy sell in a society so often consumed by the trivial.
"We have our attention focused for us by the ubiquitous mass media on things that often do not have significance that is anywhere comparable to what a great democracy should be discussing and debating," he says. "While we're worried about the latest sports scandal, the planet is being -- the habitability of our planet is being -- destroyed. Hello! Some proportion is greatly needed."
Adds Guggenheim: "I believe that if we can get people in a seat, in front of this movie, and they watch this movie with an open mind, they will see that the message is very positive. It's not a political message. It's very fair."
The buzz over "An Inconvenient Truth" began at January's Sundance Film Festival and has only continued to build. That has some people wondering whether there might be another presidential run in Gore's future, with the film set up as the perfect platform from which to start.
"I don't intend to be a candidate again. I have been there and done that and I have found that there are other ways to serve," Gore says. "I'm enjoying them. I speak out as a private citizen."
Whatever ambitions he may privately harbor, for now it is "An Inconvenient Truth" and its message that concern Gore.
"The scientists are now saying that we may have less than 10 years to make a significant start in fixing this, lest we cross a point of no return," he says. "That's why I see this movie as the ultimate action movie, because it's designed to get the audience to act."

The most recent Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC, Escalation, is now available for PC gamers. That marks one month after the DLC initially dropped on the Xbox 360. That timed exclusivity for Microsoft is part of a deal with Activision that was announced last year at Microsoft's E3 presser.
Watch us Play the Call of Duty: Black Ops' Escalation Pack.
To say howdy-doo properly to the new round of PC DLC players, Call of Duty: Black Ops will enjoy a double experience weekend. If you're looking to Prestige for the billionth time, this weekend will be a great opportunity to rack up levels and re-unlock the same guns you've been unlocking for months.
Sarcasm? Never!
Also part of the Escalation celebration weekend is Steam's free play. That's right, if you're a member of Steam and haven't already purchased Black Ops, you'll be able to take a crack at the game for free this weekend. And, yes, that's more than enough time to beat the campaign. Too bad this is just a multiplayer offer, so you won't be able to dive into the single player portion for free.
Still, if you like what you play for free on Steam, you can buy the game at a reduced price of $40.19 for a limited time.

bombaysexguide.com BEWARE THEY ARE SCAMSTERS
This is a experience reported by my UK friends who contacted this website www.puneescorts.com associate of www.bombaysexguide.com during their stay in Pune last week. Irrespective of website name they have same phone numbers to contact. If you call from Pune this guy on phone +919819499407 would ask you to deposit money in ICICI Bank , Bund Garden Branch mostly account No.001901504876 (Account Name: Mr.S.Paul) before you can hire a escort. Since it is is discreet industry people would usually believe them since the website has good traffic and is top ranking indian escorts site on google. Then once it is confirmed that money is deposited they would vanish and stop responding to phone calls. This is real story as reported by my friends. These guys also operate under the names http://delhiescorts.org/ , http://hyderabadescorts.com/, http://kolkataescort.com/, http://bombaysexguide.com/. It is all one and the same thing. Beware and be assured that money loss is guaranteed.

Cox planning Baggies talks
Striker Simon Cox is planning to discuss his future with West Brom after making only six Premier League starts this season.
Cox is hoping to be part of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 squad despite his lack of first-team action at the Hawthorns.
His contract runs out this summer, although the club can take up a 12-month option should they desire.
Cox, 24, said: "Apart from throughout January, when I played four or five games on the bounce, it has been horrible.
"You have just got to stick with it and now we have reached 40 points, hopefully I can get a bit more game time.
"We will sit down and discuss it. The club have the option to take up a further year of my contract at the end of this season.
"For me it is about waiting for the end of the season to come, waiting for the Euros and seeing if I am picked in the Ireland squad.
"If I am, I'll go out there and see what I can do and then see what the club's decision is. I'll see whether they want to keep me or whether I move on.''
Cox is grateful for Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni for continuing to involve him despite his lack of domestic action.
"When the squad is selected for the Euros, I hope to be in it and, via the conversations I have had with Giovanni and Marco Tardelli (assistant manager) they seem happy with what is happening with me,'' he added.
"Sometimes you can't complain when the team are winning games but in terms of Ireland I have to thank Giovanni because every time he has picked me in the squad, I have not been playing at Albion.
"It is hard for him to see what I can do on a weekly basis and I do have to count my blessings everytime he picks me for the squad.''
