Remembering: 2000
At this point in my life, I have seen 3,237 feature-length movies. 2,280 of those, or slightly more than 70%, I screened for the first time in the last ten years. So if the 80s were my years of first awestruck contact with the movies, and the 90s were the decade of pulverizing impressions and irrevocable falling in love, then the 00s, or the Aughties, or the Naughties, or whatever we wound up calling them, have encompassed the exponential explosion of my filmgoing horizons. I see many, many, many more new movies per year than I ever did before, but it's also the decade in which I started delving deeply into movie history. As a time-capsule commemoration of the decade that's about to end, I'm starting a year-by-year digest of my most definitive in-theater experiences. My way of saying thanks, saying goodbye, and starting to look forward to (hopefully!) another decade of cinema.
Jan 5, Landmark Embarcadero, San Francisco
The first movie ticket I bought in the new millennium was for a first-run screening of Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, while on a weeklong visit to some friends in the Bay Area of California. What better city than this historic haven for queers in which to see this landmark of transgender representation. The audience was so rapt, moved, and respectful; I can't remember ever sitting in a theater so quiet.

I was lucky enough to see 8½ for the first time on a big screen in Boston, MA, the previous summer, but I thrilled even more to La dolce vita in 35mm.
Feb 22, Lincoln Plaza 6 and United Artists Union Square 14, New York City
As it quickly became obvious that Jane Campion's Holy Smoke! had been too much of a commercial and critical non-starter to make its way to Ithaca, New York, I surprised even myself by spending $69.50 on a round-trip bus ticket, five hours each way, to go see it in New York City. Making a pilgrimage for Jane Campion is one thing; infinitely more ignominious was knowing in the back of my mind that the sojourn was equally motivated by my need to see The Green Mile, because even though I'd concertedly snubbed it during its Ithaca run, I couldn't bear to enter an Oscar season without seeing all five Best Picture nominees. Never again could it be denied: I am an insane person. This one didn't go so well for me, but I enjoyed railing at it from my own little pulpit. To fill the time between Smoke and Mile, I squeezed in a mid-afternoon matinée of Julie Taymor's Titus, in the UA14's then-novel atmosphere of stadium seating. I had left Ithaca just before 5AM on a Monday, and I took the 2AM bus back, so as to show up on time to my graduate seminar in 19th-century fiction.

Solaris: a boy's first in-cinema Tarkovsky. It resonated.
Mar 13, Cornell Cinema (Willard Straight), Ithaca, NY
The Tarkovsky series continues, and so does my habit of fastidiously marking movie milestones, and jerry-rigging them to be worthy of the occasion: I spend my 1,000th movie-viewing experience at a gorgeously restored print of Andrei Rublev, a movie I have now seen three times, every time projected from celluloid.
Apr 19, Fall Creek Pictures, Ithaca, NY
Curtis Hanson's Wonder Boys offers welcome proof that the plot and the style of a film can seem as literary as they come but the execution can still be elegantly cinematic. Proof, too, that I can notice such execution despite my English-major tendency in those years to contemplate and review all movies primarily in terms of story and acting. Several early correspondents to the website, always fairly if not always nicely, had called my attention to this training-wheels failing of mine, and I was very proud to have remarked how skilled and eloquent were the edits, rhythms, and framing choices of Wonder Boys. I'm not as huge a fan these days as I was then, but it's still a cozy, engaging picture, and I'm glad it was the one that prompted my friend Kathleen to coin the phrase "a seer-againer."

Is it becoming obvious how life-sustaining the moviehouses of Ithaca, New York, really are? They certainly were for me, not least when they furnished my sublime introductions to films as great as Aguirre, the Wrath of God. My viewing companions appeared decidedly nonplussed, and I couldn't figure out why. It had me from the opening shot of the waterfall.
May 20, Cinemapolis, Ithaca, NY
Knowing my tastes as most of you do, can you believe I skipped Erin Brockovich until more than two months into its theatrical run, and only caught it during a last-ditch pick-up at the local arthouse, after the malls had given it up? Astonishing, almost as much so as the film, which remains a favorite.
May 20, Cornell Cinema (Willard Straight), Ithaca, NY
Later that night: Casablanca. It's true: some wonders really are more wonderful if you see them with someone with whom you're in love.
May 24, Hoyts Pyramid Mall 10, Lansing, NY
The perils of small-town living, and a thumbnail sketch of two-way prevarication among academics. I couldn't believe that my tutorial advisor suddenly wanted my term paper on the films of David Cronenberg a full three months before the deadline we had agreed upon. I protested that I simply couldn't write it in the six days he was suddenly giving me. He protested in turn that already, as things were, he would have zero time in the next week to do anything except reading through his students' looming assignments so that he could finally proceed into his own long-postponed research, for which he hadn't had a spare second for months. We both left the meeting, cordial but a bit huffy with each other, and quite self-important in our insistence that neither one of us had a single second of spare time on our hands. So what did I do? I hot-footed it that same afternoon to Ridley Scott's 155-minute Gladiator, months before it became an Academy-stamped Important Film. And who did I encounter there? My tutorial advisor. Quick, embarrassed acknowledgments. Seats taken, several rows away from each other.
Jul 3, Fall Creek Pictures, Ithaca, NY
Confident critics are willing to run against the grain, even about movies that no one much cares about, and this was very much my experience of Philip Haas's widely disdained and even more widely ignored Up at the Villa. I still like this one, enough to keep making a point of it.
Jul 11, Cornell Cinema (Willard Straight), Ithaca, NY
Why is Victor Erice's El sol del membrillo, aka Dream of Light, aka The Quince Tree Sun, still unavailable on any home format? The film has more titles than it has available means of exhibition. I didn't know it was such a rare and precious treat when I bought my ticket; I simply thought the calendar description sounded enticing, and boy was I right.
Boys Don't Cry again, and what a profound difference the change in audience makes. No longer cloistered among the reverential, humbled, palpably sympathetic audience of San Francisco, I watch the film with a heavy contingent of summer-schooling adolescents, whose self-conscious status as "gifted and talented" has not equipped them with the maturity or wisdom to receive a film and a life story that they obviously receive as strange and bewildering. So they laugh, loud and often, even after my demands that they hush, and even during the rape. It took me years to grant this audience the alibi of their youth and their nerves. I wonder now if the transgender narrative would confound these students so tremendously, and prompt such heartless and skittish disavowals, in the form of josh and jest. At the time, I stormed home angry, and then literally fell on the bed, crying, at roaring volume, for at least a half-hour.

Cornell's valorous attempts to reign in a new crop of loyal audience members at the outset of each academic year means programming some big-gun spectacles, sometimes literally. In 2000, this tactical onslaught of masterpieces led to my first screenings of Seven Samurai, which my partner and I frankly disliked, and of Breathless and The Battleship Potemkin, which we loved as much as the rest of the world does. "New York Herald Tribune," people!
Sep 12, Hoyts Pyramid Mall 10, Lansing, NY
Tarsem's The Cell was the first movie I ever paid to see four times in the theater, even though, yet again, I waited till the last week of its commercial run to finally catch up with it. That first viewing was pretty unimprovable. The town was being battered by a high-intensity thunderstorm while I watched it; you could hear the stentorian claps and the dull roar of rain like a submerged soundtrack throughout the movie. Then, at the precise moment that one of D'Onofrio's monstrous alter egos is wheeling Vince Vaughn's entrails onto a spit, the room exploded with a noise and went pitch black. It turned out the theater had been struck by lightning, but none of the six of us in the theater, all of us attending alone, knew that. As we slowly started calling out to each other, several of us professed, "Do you think this is part of the movie?" We were wrong, but The Cell was demented and rococo enough to lend credence or at least plausibility to our shivery, paranoid surmise. We actually moved to sit nearer to one another in the dark, waiting for the lights and the film to come back on—talking without being able to see each other's faces, which we wouldn't have recognized anyway. Seven or eight minutes passed before the coiling of the intestines resumed apace. I can only assume that Tarsem would have relished all of this.

The Exorcist, re-released to theaters in advance of a new DVD pressing, with cut scenes restored. This means: the arched-back spiderwalk down the stairs. So terrifying I almost retch. Lots of people in the cinema hoot with ironic distance, but the movie has got me and my friend well in its clenches, despite the fact that I've seen the film once before and read the novel twice (once in high school with a chopping knife on my nightstand, just in case... in case of what, exactly?).
Oct 12, Cinemapolis, Ithaca, NY
When I first saw Dancer in the Dark, as Selma plunged down to her hooded death, someone in the front row of the small, 150-seat theater wearily exclaimed, "FINALLY!" and was greeted with an entire phalanx not just of shushes, but of, I don't know, spitting-cobra admonishments. "What is WRONG with you??" somebody shouted. Other people cried so voluminously that their snuffling was audible. Someone threw his popcorn on the floor on his way out, huffing. Quite a response. I saw it again in November, and then two months later in January, in Paris, to a rapt audience of ticket-buyers with assigned seats: my first experience of movies being treated like real Art by a general public. (My partner was teaching the French equivalent of an eighth- or ninth-grade class that year in Lyon, and I remember him telling me about his students spontaneously debating the merits of Dancer and Yi Yi.) The movie has never stopped marking key moments in my life. A year later, I was teaching it in a course I designed around Greek tragedies and modern equivalents. I watched the movie with my students on the evening of September 10, 2001, and despite the events of the next day and my explicit instructions to stay away from the movie if they needed to, every single one of them showed up for the second screening on September 12, 2001. "What better time to have to confront this material?" one of them said. I was so proud.
Oct 14, Hoyts Triphammer Mall 4, Ithaca, NY
I "got" the auteur theory when I went to see Robert Altman's Dr. T & the Women, a film that not only elevated its mediocre narrative with its inspired lightness of execution (zooms, pans, fizzy performances, brief cutaways among multiple plot strands), but which managed to evoke much greater Altman pictures in a way that further dignified this one. Though I must say, I still find Dr. T an easy and enjoyable sit. I was perplexed then why I was virtually alone in the cinema, and I still think the movie, however obviously far from heaven, still deserves better than being perpetually crowded into some kind of parenthetical or subordinate clause in which acolytes of Altman try to sweep some of his "minor" pictures under the rug of his deservedly vaunted reputation.
Oct 24, Cornell University Film Forum, Ithaca, NY
I still don't attend celluloid projections of experimental film nearly as often as I should, but Mike Hoolboom's Panic Bodies was such an unusual, memorable, and affecting experience, not least because of the piece's confrontation with questions of sexuality and disease, that you'd think I'd take more initiative to seek out these kinds of opportunities. A mission for the next decade!
Oct 27, Hoyts Pyramid Mall 10, Lansing, NY
Every year has its letdowns, but was I absolutely alone in being so excited for Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2? I showed up about 45 minutes early to the first screening, which barely had a dozen people in it by the time the previews started. After the movie was over you could see why, but naïvely or not, I just felt so crushed: not just because the movie was bad, but because it so explicitly rejected or vandalized everything that was remotely special about the first one. For that reason, an even more bitter experience than The Legend of Bagger Vance, which I saw at a free preview four nights later. I checked my watch so often at that one that the person next to me asked me to stop. Much to my chagrin, but even more to the chagrin of most people who read it, my write-up of Bagger Vance remains by far the most visited review on this site.
Nov 4, Cornell Cinema (Willard Straight), Ithaca, NY
Experiences like those make the sublime encounters with new masterpieces all the sweeter, so no wonder I relished Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai so much that I practically floated out of the theater, like a hip-hop carrier pigeon. I still love this one, and yet it's another title I had skipped during its commercial release. I only and rather capriciously caught it during a three-night revival at the campus cinema, so it was a pretty crucial experience in making me a more ecumenical ticket-buyer during the initial runs of a wider swath of movies, and in convincing me that I'm far less talented than I used to think I was at guessing in advance what I will or won't like.
Nov 9, Hoyts Triphammer Mall 4, Ithaca, NY
I recently told the story of the infuriating circumstances under which I trudged to an out-of-the-way theater, a deliberately out-of-the-way theater, in order to see Spike Lee's Bamboozled. That retrospective piece, as well as the review I wrote at the time, makes clear how important I think that film remains and how attached to it I still feel, despite its manifest and often grating flaws.
Nov 10, Cornell Cinema (Willard Straight), Ithaca, NY
But speaking of flaws, I learn just as much from my own as from those in the movies I watch, and I wonder if I was ever as wrong about a movie as I was 24 hours later, when I sourly rejected Claire Denis's Beau travail, and wrote a now-embarrassing pan from the rigid, blinkered standpoint of wanting the film to be more loyal to the obvious intertext of Herman Melville's Billy Budd. I published a retraction a little while later and have not yet made good on my promise to articulate not just the admiration but the love I now have for this movie. As we keep moving up the already-high echelons of my Favorite Films feature, I'll eventually seize the opportunity to sing the praises of this jewel-toned, brilliantly choreographed, intricately layered achievement. Shame on me, but thank goodness for a publishing platform that allows one to emend (and admit!) one's mistakes.
Dec 8, Cornell Cinema (Uris), Ithaca, NY
Sustaining the pattern by which I spent the early years of the 00s only barely catching films in second-run that I had obtusely avoided upon their debuts, for reasons that would no longer hold any water with me. Anyone who even half-follows this site has surely heard me blaring my adoration of Peyton Reed's Bring It On, particularly here and here. A definitive nail in the coffin of any suspicions I once harbored that a 100% "pop" movie can't hold its own, and more, alongside more ostentatiously "prestige" fare.
Dec 16, City Cinemas Village East, New York, NY
Still, I'm glad that I virtually ended the year with an opening-night screening in a theater I had never attended, of a movie that I would literally have kicked myself for missing, if I'd only discovered it years later on DVD. The movie was You Can Count on Me, important to me in part because its aesthetic modesty nonetheless encompassed a remarkably focused, controlled, concisely written, and judiciously edited story, the equal of which any novelist would be proud to achieve at twice the length; but equally important to me because I just loved it on sight, in that way that makes you want to hug the screen. And this despite my previous indifference to Laura Linney, who to me was the boring blonde who kept popping up in bland roles in stuff like Congo and Primal Fear without finding a way to do much with them. I expected her to fade away like a Kim Greist or a Rebecca De Mornay or a Gretchen Mol or a Monica Potter, one of those blondes that come and go perpetually in Hollywood movies. How wrong I was, though at least I was right that Mark Ruffalo would remain a highly watchable fixture through the ensuing decade, even if he hasn't been granted quite the opportunities that I'd have hoped after this film-acting debut (still one of the four or five most electrifying I saw during the last ten years). I loved You Can Count on Me then, and I love it now, in part because the eponymous phrase is what I hear the cinema whispering to me, every time I sidle up to the ticket window, step into a lobby, and sink into a seat.
Key VHS/DVD Encounters from 2000 (Chronological):
The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, The Battle of Algiers, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Shanghai Express, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Shame (review), Night of the Living Dead (review), The Great Train Robbery, Postcards from the Edge (review), Cabaret, Swept Away (review), Smiles of a Summer Night, The Magnificent Ambersons, The Conversation, Chungking Express, Do the Right Thing, Dog Day Afternoon, 42nd Street, Possessed (review), The Earrings of Madame de..., Notorious, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Gates of Heaven, Brother's Keeper (review), Carrie, and Daughters of the Dust. I look at this list and practically start to weep.

Whoa, do you live (or lived?) in Ithaca? I didn't know that. When I was going to Cornell, I loved the local cinema scene — going to see films on campus was what first awakened my love of cinema. I saw Vertigo in Uris and totally didn't get it but was provoked and intrigued anyway. I saw Gerry in Willard Straight and was blown away. I saw some of Warren Sonbert's avant-garde shorts and my eyes were opened to how strange and exciting film could be. For a couple of years while up there, I wrote a column about Cornell Cinema for the Daily Sun and was exposed to all sorts of great and unusual films as a result. Living in Ithaca and going to the movies there really was the start of my love of film.

Nick, sometimes I am very easy to please, and if you'd done nothing else in this post but write that lovely paragraph about You Can Count on Me (to which I happily cosign everything but for my guilty-pleasure glee at Linney's Primal Fear tirades), I'd have been happy. Of course, then there was everything else. That story about The Cell is pretty amazing.
Every once in a while, I regret not having kept a film diary. Not just my opinions on the movies (the blog accomplishes that well enough), but the theaters and experiences and related bric-a-brac. Maybe that's a new-decade resolution to make. I'm assuming that's what you've done -- kept notes on the wheres and whens of your movie-watching. Otherwise, I cower in fear of your recall ability.
How did you manage that?! Like Joe, I am awed and inspired to keep my own film diary for the upcoming '10s. I already keep a regular (well, not as 'regular' as I'd like) journal, but that'd be an interesting companion.
Have you been charting every movie you've seen since you were a kid? Or is that 3,237 number retrospectively calculated? Either way, impressive.
(Oh, and fair fucks to you for making it to that graduate seminar!)
10:23 AM, December 01, 2009
This was so fun to read! More, please...
And did you still have to turn in that term paper six days later? Sheesh.

You don't know how much I treasure your admission that 70% of the movies you've seen, you've seen for the first time only in the past ten years. For a late bloomer like me, trying to catch up with the seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge of the cinephiles I encounter online is a daunting task, especially when so often it seems like they'd committed their entire childhoods to swallowing up the canon. I daresay that more than 95% of the movies I've seen, I've seen in the past five years. My cinephilia first took root in late 2004, when I caught Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on tape and first realised that cinematic masterpieces were possible in my lifetime (and that you could end a movie on a conversation, and that such a conversation that ran two minutes tops could sum up a whole romantic philosophy, etc). Oscar-philia followed a year after, when I followed the tiny buzz around this indie movie about gay cowboys through its "unexpected" Golden Bear win to fruition on Oscar night. The culmination of those two strands was finding this blogosphere of movie lovers, and finding canons that I was actually interested to explore further.
Your post also made me reconsider what I've been missing, after you evoked the textures of experiencing the cinema so vividly. At least here in Singapore, I come from a generation of youths who catch far more movies at home than in the theatres, thanks to a blockbuster culture, poor marketing and distribution for lesser-known films, untrustworthy "critics", age ratings, and censorship -- all of which keep us from attending quality fare if/when they make it on the big screen here. Oh, what I would give if one of my DVD forays this year -- a truly life-changing experience, and now possibly my all-time greatest film -- could be played on the big screen. Hint: I was thrilled when I noticed that the film was mentioned in your post.
(P.S. I would love to hear more of what you thought about Cabaret, since you've never really mentioned anything about it. Would you deem it a truly "queer" film?)
I might cheekily add that everyone wins when you write looong posts like these. Suddenly all the commenters start crawling out of the woodwork =)
... in all seriousness, it must take substantial time and effort to write stuff like this, so many thanks to you for doing it. I'm sure the others would agree.
Oh, Colin, I totally, totally agree! I just went and reread this entire post, and not only has it inspired me to keep more detailed and accurate records of when and where I viewed things, and my mood at the time, and the atmosphere in the cinema, and the comments I overheard while there, etc, but also reminded me of the many transcendent moments I have already experienced in theatres over this last decade. If pressed, I might admit that books are still my main passion, but there's something wonderfully communal about cinema that is lacking when you read a novel. Another reason to see classic films on the big screen rather than watching them on dvd at home - aside from superior sound quality and projection, etc - is the unique thrill of experiencing them with an audience. I had the pleasure to attend a few Bette Davis films in the Irish Film Institute two summers ago, during a festival celebrating the centennial of her birth and it was such a pleasure to be in a room full of people weeping at Now, Voyager and gasping collectively during The Letter.
I've read about your experience of the two different Boys Don't Cry audiences before, but it still gives me chills. Oh, and I love the person who yelled "What is WRONG with you?" at the Dancer in the Dark heckler.
A few of my stand out (for better or worse) memories from the past decade of cinema-going:
- The entire (packed out) audience rising for a standing ovation at the end of The Return of the King, on opening night
- Jake Overload 2005: going with a bunch of friends to see Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain back-to-back, right when Gyllenhaal was becoming a force to be reckoned with (I kind of miss him, even though he's around)
- Taking my sister to see Double Indemnity, a film I've cherished for years but was worried she wouldn't like, for some vague reason. She loved it (duh!).
- Staying in my seat ten minutes after Wall-E had finished, head in hands, s-o-b-b-i-n-g like Julianne Moore never sobbed, with all the cinema lights turned on and the cleaning staff waiting for me to get the hell out. I was utterly incapable of moving.
- I inadvertently ended up at an opening night 9pm screening of Twilight with my best friend, both of us dreading what we assumed would be widespread swooning at Edward Cullen, and instead experiencing the entire audience roundly mocking the film from start to finished. As one, they laughed hysterically, commented aloud on the wooden acting, booed, etc. I usually can't tolerate audience noise, but I made an exception for that!
- Going to see The Village - a film which, although clearly rubbish, scared the bejeezus out of me in the cinema - and only realising halfway through that Bryce Dallas Howard's character was supposed to be blind. "Wait, she can't see?!?" I whispered, much to the amusement and bafflement of my friends. (What can I say? I was unobservant that day!)
- Oh, this decade marked the first time I went to the cinema...alone (dun dun dunnnn!). It's such Not A Deal anymore, but in secondary school there was this odd social stigma about doing anything by yourself, not least going to the pictures. But I finally worked up the courage to say "One ticket, please" and went to see I Heart Huckabees by myself one Sunday afternoon back in 2004. I was 14 and ever since then, I'd say a good 70% of the time I go to the cinema it's by myself.
I can think of more, but I'll stop now for fear of totally hijacking your post with my own memories. I'm hoping other commenters might pitch in with theirs. More comments! More entries! More cinema! /collapses.

It's interesting how everybody remembers the first time they went by themselves at the movies. I do too, and I mark that day as the day I became a true cinephile.
This was a great post, very much different that the stuff you read in the other movie blogs. Well done!
Dame James said...
Like a couple of other commenters, you've now inspired me to keep a diary of all my cinematic experiences. I know I'll always remember the really strange and/or fun times, but it would be great to relive the minor ones as well.
My craziest memory: Last summer, my car broke down and I had to wait around for hours for my dad to come get me and try and figure out what was wrong with it. Finally we ended up getting it towed to a repair shop. When I got home, I had a film that needed to be watched before its due date. The film? Godard's Week End. I swear to God, I nearly puked during that long take where the couple floats in and out of traffic to the symphony of car horns and French curse words. To this day, I don't know if my mental state helped or hindered the film. I loved the beginning but I was in NO mood for the political monologues that day.
@Ed: How fun to have this connection. Not only was I there, but we must have overlapped: I worked on my Ph.D. in English and Film & Video at Cornell from 1999-2005. You'll be seeing a lot more Cornell Cinema, Cinemapolis, Fall Creek, and Pyramid Mall as this series continues.
@Joe: I used to keep a personal diary and intersperse the titles, dates, venues, and viewing companions of the movies I saw. Gradually, I ditched the personal entries and just kept the movie log! I trust myself to remember my life better than remembering the cinema visits, though now that I'm just a bit older, I can see that I was quite cavalier about how well my long-term memory would actually hold up.
@Catherine: Thanks! I was told by a 6th-grade teacher that I would never be sorry to have a maintained list of all the books I'd read, so I began keeping one back then, and a movie list, too. Who knows how I was "watching" movies before then, so I only counted them if I was really paying attention, felt like I understood what I was watching (Lawrence of Arabia in 7th grade didn't really pan out for me), and if I saw the movie unedited and uninterrupted by commercials. So, that's how far back the log goes. I will do anything for an excuse to make an Excel file, but this was back in the day, so the log has seen many iterations, including good ol' bound journals.
@Ian: I allowed myself two extra days beyond the six, as I recall, but yes, I did have to hand it in. I got it back a couple weeks later, with an A. The next time I saw that instructor, a couple months later, he asked me how my work was coming on that seminar paper I owed him, so I don't even know what to say about that. Glad you enjoyed the entry, though. Stay tuned for '01!
@Colin: Oh, no bones about it, I think everyone who cares about movies (or about anything) is even more self-conscious about what they haven't experienced and feel that they should have than people who are casual or indifferent. The math tells me that I see an average of 200 new movies every year in one form or another, and that's not even taking into account what a committed re-watcher I often am. And STILL my mind reels at everything I want to have seen by now and haven't, and how much I wish I could revisit certain movies to verify my own impressions. I'm so glad that you appreciate these entries, and I'll be eager to hear more about your new pet movie.... and I hope everyone has been clicking over to read Colin's extraordinary reviews.
@Catherine, encore: Thanks so much for sharing these!! I, too, hope that other people chime in with comparable tales.
@Adelutza: With absolutely no disrespect intended to anyone I have ever attended a movie, I kind of prefer to see movies alone. Although that's less true than it once was. During my years of really diving in, I really treasured the experience of forming my own impressions and debating them internally, and feeling really freed of any influence or accountability to my companions' impressions. Now, I can kind of go either way, and there are clearly people who help me experience the movies more deeply by going with them and talking afterward.
I have to add, I'm a pretty extroverted person, but in college I made an early pact with myself to go alone to a movie every Friday afternoon somewhere in the city. Sometimes, I stayed for two or even three in a row, but I don't remember anyone coming with me almost any of those times. I treasured this time. The same way you like enjoying big groups of friends with your partner, but you also really want your own private, intimate time, that's exactly how I feel about going to the movies by myself. I am actually unable to understand why so many people have such a hard time going by themselves. It's one of the great, great pleasures of my very pleasurable life!
this is so great. linking up as soon as i can get to it.
i wish i had kept this sort of journal. I used to save all cinema tickets but even that i gave up once moving to new york 11 years ago.
and i love that you ended the year with YOU CAN COUNT ON ME and love what you have to say about it. Isn't it so neat when real life accidentally hands us these narratives that are "remarkably focused, controlled, concisely written, and judiciously edited" themselves.
MORE of these please!
@DJH: Hilarious. I remember going to the movies with a friend one night in college who was really agonizing over whether or not to break up with a guy named Peter; she'd been tying herself in knots for several days, and it's all we talked about on the way to the theater. The movie was Mrs. Dalloway, in which Clarissa promptly begins worrying that she's messed up her life by marrying Richard Dalloway instead of Peter Walsh, who is obviously still pining for her on the day he drops in to visit, from India. My poor friend: she looked rather undone, but also had the sense of humor to laugh about it.
@Nathaniel: Yay, it's a hit! So glad, you're enjoying. Don't worry, you won't have to wait long for the Greatest Hits of 2001.

Because I'm self-centered like that, I hope that when you get to 2003 I'll get to see our heroic venture to see not one but two deeply bleak films on a subzero January evening, back when one of CU's doctors had me coming in every Friday morning during Winter Break so that she could check my swollen lymph nodes and see if I actually had mono. You know that on my last visit, she actually said to me, "I'm going to miss talking about movies with you." Unless I'm mistaken, it was during my "convalescence" that January--when I sincerely tried to go on bedrest, as the doctor had instructed me even though very little at all unusual was showing up on my bloodwork--that I watched Persona and several other movies I borrowed from you. Probably all right in a row.
Those were good times. Especially since I didn't have mono after all.
Also: oh. holy. Jesus. You rushed back for that seminar?
Am biting tongue. Ow.
@Dr S.: That entry is already underway, and you have the starring role exactly where you think you do. And yes, that seminar. You crack me up! xo.

I just watched Holy Smoke! for the second time and have to say it's the Campion film that I'm least enamored of. The whole Ruth/P.J. relationship just rang completely false for me, as well as the depiction of Ruth's family. And to give the wonderful Pam Grier only four scenes was criminal!
I have to agree with a lot of that, CCW, but Kate dancing with the emus, or the entire "Holly Holy" intro, and the suffering mother and spazzy sister-in-law, and a whole lot else in the movie still make it a jazzy exercise for me. I'm scared to watch it again: the dip in satisfaction from first viewing to second was larger than I had predicted, and the weather forecast at this point calls for even more reservations. But I do love Campion's eye, and I like that you feel how much happier she is making her wackadoo passion-projects than her more polished critical hits.
@Nick: Yes, I'd take any Campion film over almost any other movie any day. I'd put Holy Smoke! in the category of Campion's films that I admire instead of really love (when I say this, I kinda feel like Fanny reacting to Keats' Endymion). Sweetie and The Portrait of a Lady are the two others I respect but don't love. Two Friends, Bright Star, In the Cut and The Piano are the ones I really respond passionately to. My heart's been sinking a little lately as I read more and more praise (and awards) heaped on An Education (yuck) and Mulligan's performance (appealing actress-vapid, unbelievable character), and almost zilch for Bright Star and Cornish.
There is not ONE SINGLE THING uncool about loving "Last Chance Harvey." The film seemed to slip under everyone's radar in 2009 for reasons unknown to me. This is Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman at their best, in my opinion, in an uncommonly non-schmaltzy and insightful romantic comedy. Emma should have garnered a nomination for that uncomfortable blind date scene alone, where her face goes through this amazing range of emotions.

I haven't seen "Last Chance Harvey", but didn't realize Dustin Hoffman was still making movies. What a great actor! Loved him in Pappilon. Well, now I've got a reason to go to Blockbuster!

Q: How to Keep Multiple Instances of the Same Gadget Separate I have created a JIRA gadget. When I put only one instance of it on a dashboard, it's fine. When I put a second instance on the same dashboard, configure it to load different data, and then refresh the whole dashboard, I can see that they share most data -- as if they get their data from the server at almost the same time and then write to the same javascript variable and then render based on that variable.
When they render, they're mostly identical to each other when I know they should be totally different (I can see values that match instance A's configuration appearing in instance B).
Another way I can tell it's wrong is when I refresh each gadget separately, they display the correct data. But when I refresh the entire dashboard, they display mostly the same thing.
How do I keep these separate? One thought I had was to try the following:

*

*Keep a thread-safe request counter on the server.

*For each request, increment the counter and append the new value to the names of javascript variables in the velocity template.

*When adding items to the context hash map, append the request counter to the keys so they match the javascript variables in step 2

*The renderer takes the modified velocity template and the context hash map and produces something that refers to only its own request results.

But I'm having some trouble with step 2. I have the 'location' of the template file "/templates/gadgets/my-gadget.vm" -- it's not a real location in that there is no such file on the server at that path. The renderer expects the 'location' as an argument. I want to load /templates/gadgets/my-gadget.vm (wherever it actually is), write out a new /templates/gadgets/my-gadget..vm, and then pass this new location to the renderer... But /templates/gadgets/my-gadget.vm is not an ordinary file path. Where is it?
Or is there a better approach?
Note: nothing in the servlet is marked static or volatile -- everything in the servlet is instance-specific (and therefore request-specific ???) so the bleeding between requests is on the client side (see comments for discussion on whether this is correct and see the accepted answer for the tl;dr).

A: You mentioned in the comments that you were storing values passed in from the HttpServletRequest as "instance variables" on the server side. The issue is that JIRA only ever instantiates a single copy of your servlet object, meaning that anything you write to an instance variable will be shared between requests. If both requests come in at the same time and they get interleaved, thread #1 will see data from thread #2 by accident, which is probably what happened.
The solution is to keep everything on the stack. For example, instead of writing to instance variables, just declare local variables inside your service method and leave everything there instead of at the class scope.
If you already have other functions in your servlet class that are using the instance variables, you can either modify them to receive the values passed over as parameters during the method call, or else refactor and move that code to another class that uses its own instance variables (but make sure you explicitly instantiate a new object of that class within service() every time you receive a request!).

TITLE 1. CORPORATIONS [100 - 14631]
DIVISION 2. NONPROFIT CORPORATION LAW [5000 - 10841]
( Heading of Division 2 amended by Stats. 1978, Ch. 567. )
PART 4. NONPROFIT RELIGIOUS CORPORATIONS [9110 - 9690]
CHAPTER 4. Meetings and Voting [9410 - 9421]
(a) In the absence of a contrary provision in the articles or bylaws, the provisions of this chapter shall apply to any regular or special meeting of members or obtaining approval of members (Section 5034) or approval of a majority of members (Section 5033). The articles or bylaws may provide any reasonable method of calling, noticing, and holding such meetings or obtaining such approvals.
(b) Anything in subdivision (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the articles or bylaws may not vary the provisions of subdivision (e) of Section 9411, subdivision (e) of Section 9417 (if proxies are authorized), or Section 9418.
(Amended by Stats. 1981, Ch. 587, Sec. 51.)
(a) Subject to the provisions of this chapter, regular and special meetings of members shall be called, noticed and held as may be ordered by the board. Unless prohibited by the bylaws of the corporation, if authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to the requirement of consent in clause (b) of Section 20 and those guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, members not physically present in person (or, if proxies are allowed, by proxy) at a meeting of members may, by electronic transmission by and to the corporation (Sections 20 and 21) or by electronic video screen communication, participate in a meeting of members, be deemed present in person (or, if proxies are allowed, by proxy), and vote at a meeting of members whether that meeting is to be held at a designated place or in whole or in part by means of electronic transmission by and to the corporation or by electronic video screen communication, in accordance with subdivision (f).
(b) Special meetings of members for any lawful purpose may be called by the board or the chairman of the board or the president. In addition, special meetings of members for any lawful purpose may be called by 5 percent or more of the members.
(c) Upon request in writing to the chairman of the board, president, vice president or secretary by any person (other than the board) entitled to call a special meeting of members, the board shall expeditiously set a reasonable time and place for the meeting and the officer forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the members entitled to vote of the time and place of the meeting. If the notice is not given within 20 days after receipt of the request, the persons entitled to call the meeting may give the notice or the superior court of the proper county shall summarily order the giving of the notice, after notice to the corporation giving it an opportunity to be heard. The court may issue such orders as may be appropriate, including, without limitation, orders designating the time and place of the meeting, the record date for determination of members entitled to vote and the form of notice.
(d) The transactions of any meeting of members, however called and noticed, and wherever held, are as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person (or, if proxies are allowed, by proxy), and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by this part to be included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of members need be specified in any written waiver of notice, consent to the holding of the meeting or approval of the minutes thereof except as provided in subdivision (e).
(e) Any member approval required under subdivision (b) of Section 9150, Section 9222, Section 5812 (made applicable pursuant to Section 9620), subdivision (a) of Section 9631, subdivision (c) of Section 9640, subdivision (a) of Section 6015 (made applicable pursuant to Section 9640), or subdivision (b) of Section 9680, other than unanimous approval by those entitled to vote, shall be valid only if the general nature of the proposal so approved was stated in the notice of meeting or in any written waiver of notice.
(f) A meeting of the members may be conducted, in whole or in part, by electronic transmission by and to the corporation or by electronic video screen communication (1) if the corporation implements reasonable measures to provide members a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the members, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting concurrently with those proceedings, and (2) if any member votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of electronic transmission to the corporation or electronic video screen communication, a record of that vote or action is maintained by the corporation. Any request by a corporation to a member pursuant to clause (b) of Section 20 for consent to conduct a meeting of members by electronic transmission by and to the corporation, shall include a notice that absent consent of the member pursuant to clause (b) of Section 20, the meeting shall be held at a physical location in accordance with subdivision (a).
(Amended by Stats. 2004, Ch. 254, Sec. 32. Effective January 1, 2005.)
(a) One-third of the voting power, represented in person, by written ballot, or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of members. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power represented at the meeting, entitled to vote, and voting on any matter shall be the act of the members.
(b) The members present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough members to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the members required to constitute a quorum or, if required by this division, or by the articles or the bylaws, the vote of the greater number or voting by classes.
(c) In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of members may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the votes represented either in person or by proxy, but no other business may be transacted, except as provided in subdivision (b).
(a) Any action which may be taken at any regular or special meeting of members may be taken without a meeting if the written ballot of every member is solicited, if the required number of signed approvals in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is received, and if the requirements of subdivision (c) are satisfied. Unless otherwise provided by the articles or bylaws and if approved by the board of directors, that ballot and any related material may be sent by electronic transmission by the corporation (Section 20) and responses may be returned to the corporation by electronic transmission to the corporation (Section 21).
(b) All solicitations of ballots shall indicate the time by which the ballot must be returned to be counted.
(c) Approval by written ballot pursuant to this section shall be valid only when the number of ballots cast on or before the time the ballot must be returned to be counted equals or exceeds the quorum required to be present at a meeting authorizing the action, and the number of approvals equals or exceeds the number of votes that would be required to approve at a meeting at which the total number of votes cast was the same as the number of ballots cast.
(d) A written ballot may not be revoked.
(e) Directors may be elected by written ballot under this section, where authorized by the articles or bylaws, except that election by written ballot may not be authorized where the directors are elected by cumulative voting pursuant to Section 9415.
(a) If for any reason it is impractical or unduly difficult for any corporation to call or conduct a meeting of its members, delegates or directors, or otherwise obtain their consent, in the manner prescribed by its articles or bylaws, or this part, then the superior court of the proper county, upon petition of a director, officer, delegate, or member, may order that such a meeting be called or that a written ballot or other form of obtaining the vote of members, delegates or directors be authorized, in such a manner as the court finds fair and equitable under the circumstances.
(b) The court shall, in an order issued pursuant to this section, provide for a method of notice reasonably designed to give actual notice to all parties who would be entitled to notice of a meeting held pursuant to the articles, bylaws and this part, whether or not the method results in actual notice to every such person, or conforms to the notice requirements that would otherwise apply. In a proceeding under this section the court may determine who the members or directors are.
(c) The order issued pursuant to this section may dispense with any requirement relating to the holding of and voting at meetings or obtaining of votes, including any requirement as to quorums or as to the number or percentage of votes needed for approval, that would otherwise be imposed by the articles, bylaws, or this part.
(d) Wherever practical any order issued pursuant to this section shall limit the subject matter of the meetings or other forms of consent authorized to items, including amendments to the articles or bylaws, the resolution of which will or may enable the corporation to continue managing its affairs without further resort to this section; provided, however, that an order under this section may also authorize the obtaining of whatever votes and approvals are necessary for the dissolution, merger, sale of assets or reorganization of the corporation.
(e) Any meeting or other method of obtaining the vote of members, delegates or directors conducted pursuant to an order issued under this section, and which complies with all the provisions of such order, is for all purposes a valid meeting or vote, as the case may be, and shall have the same force and effect as if it complied with every requirement imposed by the articles, bylaws and this part.
(a) If the articles or bylaws authorize cumulative voting, but not otherwise, every member entitled to vote at any election of directors may cumulate such member's votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the member is entitled, or distribute the member's votes on the same principle among as many candidates as the member thinks fit.
(b) No member shall be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate or candidates unless such candidate's name or candidates' names have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the member has given notice at the meeting prior to the voting of the member's intention to cumulate votes. If any one member has given such notice, all members may cumulate their votes for candidates in nomination.
(c) In any election of directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes are elected, subject to any lawful provision specifying election by classes.
(d) Elections for directors need not be by ballot unless a member demands election by ballot at the meeting and before the voting begins or unless the bylaws so require.
(Repealed and added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 570, Sec. 10.)
(a) Any member may authorize another person or persons to act by proxy with respect to such membership, except that this right may be limited or withdrawn by the articles or bylaws. Any proxy purported to be executed in accordance with the provisions of this part shall be presumptively valid.
(b) No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy, except that the maximum term of any proxy shall be three years from the date of execution. Every proxy continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto. Such revocation may be effected by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and presented to the meeting, or as to any meeting by attendance at such meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy.
(c) A proxy is not revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker or the termination of a membership as a result thereof unless, before the vote is counted, written notice of such death or incapacity is received by the corporation.
(d) The proxy of a member may not be irrevocable.
(e) Any proxy covering matters requiring a vote of the members pursuant to Section 5812 (made applicable pursuant to Section 9620), subdivision (a) of Section 9631, subdivision (c) of Section 9640, subdivision (a) of Section 6015 (made applicable pursuant to Section 9640), or subdivision (b) of Section 9680 is not valid unless it sets forth the general nature of the matter to be voted on.
(a) Upon the filing of an action therefor by any director or member, or by any person who had the right to vote in the election at issue after such director, member, or person has exhausted any remedies provided in the articles or bylaws, the superior court of the proper county shall determine the validity of any election or appointment of any director of any corporation.
(b) Upon the filing of the complaint, and before any further proceedings are had, the court shall enter an order fixing a date for the hearing, which shall be within five days unless for good cause shown a later date is fixed, and requiring notice of the date for the hearing and a copy of the complaint to be served upon the corporation and upon the person whose purported election or appointment is questioned and upon any person (other than the plaintiff) whom the plaintiff alleges to have been elected or appointed, in the manner in which a summons is required to be served, or, if the court so directs, by registered mail; and the court may make such further requirements as to notice as appear to be proper under the circumstances.
(c) The court, consistent with the provisions of this part and in conformity with the articles and bylaws to the extent feasible, may determine the person entitled to the office of director or may order a new election to be held or appointment to be made, may determine the validity of the issuance of memberships and the right of persons to vote and may direct such other relief as may be just and proper.
In the absence of fraud, any election, appointment or removal of a director is conclusively presumed valid nine months thereafter if the only defect in the election, appointment or removal is the failure to give notice as provided in this part or in the corporation's articles or bylaws.
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the members may be taken without a meeting, if all members shall individually or collectively consent in writing to the action. The written consent or consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the members. The action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as the unanimous vote of the members.
(Added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 587, Sec. 54.)
(a) If the name signed on a ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a member, the corporation if acting in good faith is entitled to accept the ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the member.
(b) If the name signed on a ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the record name of a member, the corporation if acting in good faith is nevertheless entitled to accept the ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the member if any of the following occur:
(1) The member is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity.
(2) The name signed purports to be that of an attorney-in-fact of the member and if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory's authority to sign for the member has been presented with respect to the ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment.
(3) Two or more persons hold the membership as cotenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the coholders and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the coholders.
(c) The corporation is entitled to reject a ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has a reasonable basis for doubt concerning the validity of the signature or the signatory's authority to sign for the member.
(d) The corporation and any officer or agent thereof who accepts or rejects a ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this section shall not be liable in damages to the member for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.
(e) Corporate action based on the acceptance or rejection of a ballot, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment under this section is valid unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise.
(Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 589, Sec. 44. Effective January 1, 1997.)

POLL: Which Star Would You Kiss on New Year's Eve?
As the clock strikes midnight, would you rather lip-lock with Rachel McAdams, Lady Gaga or John Mayer?
A kiss is just a kiss – unless you're smooching at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. At that magical moment, you want a smack that'll silence the noisemakers, make your party hat stand on end, and give you something warm and fuzzy to remember, if only vaguely, for the next 365 days. With all due respect to your New Year's Eve date, we'd like to suggest a few pucker-worthy hotties – and find out which one you'd choose for a lip-lock when the big, little, and second hands are all pointing straight up.
Rachel McAdams It doesn't take uncanny detective work to figure out why the Sherlock Holmes leading lady would be on anyone's kiss wish-list. With Ryan Gosling erased from her notebook long ago and her brief romance with Josh Lucas wrapped, McAdams, 31, is a single lady! If her blazing blue eyes, bee-stung lips, and raven-haired beauty don't do it for you, you might want to check your pulse.
Anna Kendrick Better hurry up if you want a midnight peck from this rising star. The 24-year-old's performance in Up in the Air earned her Screen Actors Guilde and Golden Globe nominations, propelling her out of the shadows of Twilight costars Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene – and into the limelight shared by Hollywood's elite actresses.
Lady GagaBlessed with endearing quirkiness and unconventional beauty, Gaga is our pick for an alterna-smooch. At 23, the reigning Queen of Pop has captured the hearts and minds of, oh, about a gazillion fans, even though her real name – Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – slips everyone's mind, including her own family's. Note of caution for would-be kissers: Careful not to impale yourself on a piece of her architectural fashion as you move in for the thrill.
Blake Lively The Gossip Girl with no scruples is plotting her escape from the small screen to the big time, starring alongside Ben Affleck in The Town, set for release several months after the New Year dawns. In real life, you'd have to get past Lively's boyfriend, Gossip Girl costar Penn Badgely, to steal your midnight kiss. But since we're talking fantasy here, by all means, set your sights on Serena. She's blonde, beautiful, and bound for box-office success in 2010.
Chace Crawford Kiss-worthy good looks run in the family of the man chosen as PEOPLE's Hottest Bachelor: Crawford's sister, Candice, was crowned Miss Missouri USA in 2008. Crawford, 24, was born in small-town Texas but chose to attend college in Malibu, Calif. – a fortuitous decision given his discovery there as an actor of some promise. Once upon a time, he kissed Carrie Underwood. But a much-publicized breakup put Crawford back on the most-eligible-bachelor list. So, why not just put your lips together – and go!
John Mayer He likes to tout his intelligence, but you're not going to kiss his brain, are you? Please feel free to surrender to his boudoir eyes, sandpaper-and-honey voice, and his rock-star bad-boy tendencies. If this 32-year-old guitar master is your pick for a New Year's smooch, you're in good company. The A-listers who've swapped spit with Mayer include Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson.
George ClooneyYes, he's currently hot and heavy with Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis, but it's impossible not to notice that Hollywood's most notorious bachelor just seems to be getting sexier with age. At 48, Clooney is more dapper – and busier – than ever (Up in the Air, The Men Who Stare at Goats). Which is to say nothing of Clooney's smoldering intensity, wry sense of humor, and mischievous smile. One way to wipe that smile off of his face? You got it – a big, fat, midnight kiss!
Taylor LautnerIt's not exactly robbing the cradle, but please be advised: Lautner doesn't turn 18 until February 11. You want to ring in the New Year by planting one on Lautner? Be our guest. The boy (yes, boy) has karate chops (he's a black belt) to go with his acting chops (look for him in 2010, along with Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift and Patrick Dempsey, in the ensemble romantic comedy Valentine's Day). Bella may be able to resist his charms in New Moon, but in real life it would be tough to fight Launter's animal magnetism – especially on a New Year's Eve that promises a full moon.


I've always liked painting with Joss, she really throws herself into it, literally sometimes! When I heard about toddler resist art it took me back to my own childhood, using crayons as the resistant material to make aztec prints in the paint.
I liked the idea of trying this with tape, and when 3M Scotch sent me their guide to having a go with a toddler we took a roll of 3M Scotch Magic Tape, some paints, a brush and a canvas or sturdy card and a bit of imagination and away we went!
Joss cracked on with this activity whilst I was cooking our evening meal, her having fun and learning to do it her own way was a really good test of her independent play skills and she really enjoyed it. The concentration on her little face was amazing and the results were so effective!
I marked out a rough heart shape on sturdy card and masked it with the tape, then Joss set to work! At this stage she started covering the tape (that's exactly what you do, cover the whole piece tape and all) and said she was painting a pig! I was surprised by her brush control and clearly our frequent arty sessions are paying off!
Then the 'finger painting' began, in purple and yellow, lovely!
When she finished she got to work on another piece and we set this aside to dry.
After 30 minutes I took a sponge and some water and gently sponged the tape clean to reveal the tape heart, magic!
We now have a really special card for Grandma and Grandad and I have lots of ideas for other tape resist art projects, next up I'm going to mask out a little house!

Yay – great craft – easy, fun and you get a result to be proud of too!

Research-Based Courses for Second-Semester Freshmen
By Anne Donnelly, University of Florida
Last year the University of Florida's Center for Undergraduate Research had the opportunity to jump start Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) classes designed specifically for second semester freshmen. The CURE@UF initiative used a small internal grant to provide course development and course materials. The grant also allowed us to hire a Graduate Innovator to assist students with the research project. We modeled this position after the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill's Graduate Research Consultant.
Faculty were recruited via email; in the first year 14 faculty responded. In year two, 8 faculty continued, and an additional 7 faculty (along with 21 in engineering) joined. CUR@UF was also able to hire a Post Doc to assist faculty with course development. She offered a series of workshops in the fall to help faculty through the process. Last year, we placed 172 students in CURE classes. This year we placed 258. The majority of the classes were STEM and included physics, chemistry, biological sciences, genetics, entomology and horticulture. Each year the College of Education offered one class: Big Data, and Behavioral Economics. This year we added a class in Business Research. In addtion, we began working with the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.
Creating Disciplinary Diversity
We wanted to offer a mix of disciplines. Notably, the UF College of the Arts has a robust Center for Arts In Medicine. Its mission is to advance research, education, and practice in arts in medicine. This mission fosters interdisciplinary collaborations across campus that support arts in health. We offered two exciting CURE classes through the Center last year, one of which we offered again this year.
The first course, titled Museums, Veterans and Wellbeing: Measuring the Impact, is an arts in health course, taught by Heather Spooner, an art therapist who works with rural veterans via telehealth creative arts. Spooner's course introduces students to survey-based research. In its first iteration an interdisciplinary team of six students worked with a Graduate Innovator to analyze a survey given to veterans at the Lowe Art Museum in Miami. Working with the Director of Education at the Lowe Art Museum, the class used thematic analysis to code responses to the survey and conducted a literature review to create a new survey for an upcoming veteran event. These students presented their work at the UF Undergraduate Research Symposium. One student continued to work on the project and is currently working on a publication.
Real-World Issues
The second College of the Arts course, titled Cultural programming and Addiction in America, analyzes the effect spaces have on the opioid epidemic. Taught by Craig Smith, an artist who works with relational art and photography, this course introduced students to research via a seminar/lab hybrid learning environment, measuring the impact of visual and environmental stimuli on both treatment and stigma for patients as well as providers.
Nine students from various backgrounds worked together with a Graduate Innovator to research population centers and civic authorities concerned with the opioid epidemic in the United States. An exceptional part of the class was that Dr. Craig arranged for Mr. Colin Beatty, CEO of Column Health, and Mr. James McIntyre, COO of Column Health to visit the students. These visits gave the CURE students an appreciation for the real-world application of the research they were conducting. This year, Dr. Smith is continuing to teach this course to 14 new freshmen. Furthermore, the students in this class presented at the Symposium.

All of the CURE classes used the Research on Learning and Education (ROLE) Survey developed by Dr. David Lopatto. The students in last year's Arts in Medicine classes reported above average gains the following skills: propose hypothesis and plan research, acquire and analyze information, and read and understand primary literature. Additionally, they indicated an above average gain in readiness for more demanding research.
Moving forward, CUR is planning on actively recruiting additional arts and humanities faculty to join CURE@UF.


Employees provide a first impression of your organization and, of course, it needs to be a good one. Therefore, a good employee is extremely valuable to your business. Getting good employees starts with a good hiring process.
Write down the characteristics of a good employee for your organization. Consider the attributes of your current employees that you would like to see in your newly hired employee.
Be sure that the qualifications of the prospective employee match the requirements needed to perform the job. Overqualified employees may seem enticing at first. However, it is possible for them to become bored from not being challenged. An unmotivated employee can be detrimental to a department or organization. Good employees have short and long term goals and need to have room for growth. A good employee will choose to use his/her talents on an organization with potential career advancement.
Meet the candidate more than once. After several interviews, the potential employee will begin to relax and you can start to see their real personality.
Check all references. Even if you receive a wonderful report from a reference, it is best to be thorough and contact all of them.
Competition is not just for customers. You are also competing for good quality candidates to work for your organization. Make sure that your salaries, benefits, and atmosphere are equal or better than that of your competition.

Africa Media Review for December 13, 2017
Priorities for Security and Justice during Liberia's Transition
The second round of Liberia's presidential elections, pitting former FIFA World Football Player of the Year, George Weah, against incumbent Vice President Joseph Boakai, is now proceeding after the Supreme Court ruled that there was insufficient evidence of fraud to warrant a redo of the first round of balloting. Regardless of who emerges victorious, the new administration will need to address numerous pressing challenges related to the country's security and stability. This is all the more critical as the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) is drawing down and plans depart the country in March 2018, after 15 years in country. Africa Center for Strategic Studies
Liberia Electoral Commission Sets Presidential Run-Off for December 26
Liberia will hold a delayed presidential run-off vote on December 26, the electoral commission chief said on Tuesday. Former soccer star George Weah faces Vice-President Joseph Boakai in the poll that was held up for several weeks by a court challenge by the candidate who came third in round one. The winner replaces Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as president in what will be, if it goes smoothly, Liberia's first peaceful handover of power in 70 years. The Supreme Court last week dismissed a complaint from third-place finisher Charles Brumskine's Liberty Party, which had said fraud had undermined the first round in October. Electoral Commission chairman Jerome Korkoya said campaigning could start immediately but must end by December 24. France 24
South Sudan Clashes Leave More Than 170 Dead
More than 170 people have been killed in fighting between rival cattle herders in central South Sudan in the past week, a lawmaker said on Tuesday. "When it comes to those who are wounded, it is almost 200," added Dharuai Mabor Teny, a member of parliament from the Western Lakes area, some 250 kilometres northwest of the capital Juba. It more than doubles a previous toll issued late last week, since fighting between rival factions of the Dinka people, the Rup and Pakam clans, broke out on December 6. The government has declared the fighting a state of emergency, meaning that soldiers have been deployed after local state officials were overwhelmed. "The state of emergency is meant to curb violence," presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny said, adding the fighters were hurling grenades and firing rockets at each other. AFP
US Airstrike Hits Undetonated Car Bomb outside Mogadishu
A U.S. airstrike has hit and destroyed a car bomb-in-waiting near the capital of Somalia, according to a Somali official and the U.S. military. The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) said the airstrike occurred early Tuesday morning and targeted a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device about 65 kilometers southwest of Mogadishu. A statement said the vehicle belonged to militant group al-Shabab and was an "imminent threat to the people of Mogadishu." The U.S. said no civilians were killed. Ali Enure, the deputy governor of Lower Shabelle region, told VOA Somali the attack happened in the village of Mubarak. VOA
Nigeria: Senate Chief to Face Corruption Charges
Nigeria's senate president Bukola Saraki will be charged with three counts of false assets declaration and corruption, the appeals court ruled on Tuesday, reversing an earlier ruling of the conduct tribunal which had acquitted the top politician. The code of conduct tribunal had in June discharged and acquitted Saraki of an 18-count corruption charge, upholding the politician's argument that no case was established against him. But a three-member appeals panel chaired by Justice Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson said the prosecution established a prima facie case against the politician in at least three of the 18 charges. Akomolafe-Wilson said the politician must explain the perceived discrepancies in his claims regarding properties he allegedly bought with loans from commercial banks in the country's commercial capital Lagos — contrary to his claim that he had bought them with funds from sales of his farm produce. Anadolu Agency
Why It's Now a Crime to Let Cattle Graze Freely in 2 Nigerian States
[…] Benue is now the second Nigerian state to implement a ban on the open grazing of cattle, after nearby Taraba implemented a ban this summer. It's a controversial new approach to resolving a long saga of conflict between Nigeria's pastoralists and their farmer neighbors that has come with unintended violence and displacement, as shown in this video from the scene. The ban's backers contend that free-roaming cattle are a major threat, as they routinely trample crops, setting off fights with farmers. But pastoralists argue that the grazing ban discriminates against the West African ethnic minority, Fulani, most of whom keep cattle as their traditional livelihood. The state deputized unarmed citizen groups to enforce the ban and keep a roving lookout for herders. (The police and military are controlled by the federal government, and President Muhammadu Buhari, who owns cattle himself, hasn't committed to enforcing the law.) Herders think the citizen groups are more likely to create new conflicts than resolve them, and worry they will acquire weapons and will become, in effect, anti-Fulani gangs — after years of conflict, ethnic animosity runs high here. When the ban went into effect, many herders like Tambaya fled the state. NPR
2 Teenage Girl Suicide Bombers Kill 4 in Nigeria's North
A Nigerian official says two teenage girl suicide bombers attacked the town of Gwoza, in the country's north, killing at least four people. Colonel Onyema Nwachukwu, spokesperson for the Military Command and Control Center in Maiduguri, said on Tuesday that the attack was carried out on Monday evening. He said local defense forces spotted the girls and shot one, detonating her vest and killing only her. He said the other girl managed to infiltrate the crowded residential area in Borno state and detonated herself, killing four others. He said several people injured have been taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment. AP
UAE, Saudi Arabia Join G5 Sahel Force Summit in Paris
French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting a summit for the leaders of five African nations, in the ongoing effort to combat armed groups in the Sahel region. Earlier this year, the governments of Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania agreed to form a joint regional military force known as the G5. But there are fears it is struggling to cope, as groups like ISIL and al-Qaeda push to expand their operations. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are attending a summit in Paris on Wednesday aimed at accelerating efforts to set up a West African force to combat armed groups in the Sahel region, a sign Gulf Arab states are upping their influence in West Africa. However, France, which has some 4,000 troops in the region, has bemoaned that the fighters have scored military and symbolic victories in West Africa while the G5 force has struggled to win financing and become operational. Al Jazeera
Trafficking of Pills Used by Suicide Bombers Soars in Sahel
The UN has warned of a rise in trafficking of the synthetic opioid tramadol across West Africa, as one official revealed it is being found in the pockets of suicide bombers. Seizures of the drug have skyrocketed since 2013, from 300kg (660lb) to more than three tonnes a year, the UN's Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said. In September, three million pills in UN-logoed boxes were found in Niger. The opioid is known to be popular with Islamist militants Boko Haram. The pills – which can be legally prescribed as painkillers – are thought to be used to calm the would-be attackers, with the Guardian previously reporting the terrorist group stuff it into dates which they then feed to children before sending them to their deaths. BBC
Ethiopia Faces Social Media Blackout after New Ethnic Unrest
Ethiopia faces a social media blackout as clashes intensify between ethnic groups in various parts of the country. Facebook and Twitter are down Tuesday after reports emerged of killings on Monday by security forces in the Oromia region. Oromia regional spokesman Addisu Arega said the violence in Chelenqo town killed six people and was being investigated. On Facebook he called the victims "innocent civilians." The Addis Standard news site reported 15 killed, including women and children. The Associated Press was not able to independently verify the reports. Oromia regional officials have long accused special police from the neighboring Somali region of committing atrocities against ethnic Oromos. The regions also have had bitter border disputes. AP
Burundi's President Launches Campaign to Extend His Rule
Burundi's president launched a campaign on Tuesday to support constitutional amendments that could extend his rule despite warnings by his opponents of more violence ahead. President Pierre Nkurunziza told supporters in Gitega province to vote in favor of the changes in an upcoming national referendum. The proposed changes include extending a presidential term from five years to seven. A date for the referendum has not been set but it is expected next year. The opposition has warned that attempts to change the constitution could lead to more bloodshed in the East African country still reeling from deadly violence following Nkurunziza's contentious decision to seek a third term in 2015. AP
Togo's Opposition Coalition Boycotts Government Talks
Togo's main opposition coalition, which has led protests against President Faure Gnassingbe for more than three months, on Tuesday boycotted government consultations for talks on ending the political impasse. The international community has called for talks between the two sides to end the stalemate over constitutional reform to introduce a maximum two-term limit for presidents. But only five out of the 14 parties comprising the main opposition bloc were invited to preliminary discussions, scheduled to take place behind closed doors at the presidency in the capital, Lome. Opposition coalition spokesperson Brigitte Adjamagbo-Johnson said the alliance refused to attend the meeting in the face of the government's "diversionary tactic." AFP
Russia Asks UN for the Green Light to Send Arms to Bangui
Russia has asked the UN Security Council for permission to supply light arms and ammunition to the struggling armed forces of the Central African Republic beginning next week, according to a request obtained by AFP on Tuesday. The move has raised concerns from France which has questioned Russia's plan, notably over the storage of the weaponry, according to a Security Council diplomat who declined to be named. Russia is asking for an exemption to the arms embargo imposed on the Central African Republic in 2013 when the impoverished country descended into violence. CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadera asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov for the military assistance during talks at the Black Sea resort of Sochi in October, a diplomat said. AFP
Tight Race as South Africa's ANC Prepares to Elect Zuma Successor
South Africa's ruling party African National Congress is set to hold its election this weekend to replace Jacob Zuma as party leader in a closely fought contest whose winner is likely to emerge as the nation's next president. The front runners are Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa, a former trade union leader and one of South Africa's richest people, and Zuma's preferred candidate, his ex-wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, a former minister and chairwoman of the African Union Commission. In a race seen as too close to call, seven candidates are seeking to succeed Zuma, who has been at the helm of the party for a decade. Reuters
Robert Mugabe Leaves Zimbabwe for the First Time after Coup
Former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe flew to Singapore on Monday night, leaving the country for the first time since he was toppled by the military last month. The 93-year-old, who ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist for 37 years, was forced to resign on November 21 after he was put under house arrest by the army. According to the privately owned NewsDay newspaper, Mr Mugabe was going for a routine medical check-up in Singapore before flying to Malaysia where his daughter is expecting her second child. He was accompanied by his wife Grace Mugabe and some unnamed government officials. Before his ouster, the former president frequented Singapore for medical treatment. Daily Nation
Rwanda Urges France to Admit Alleged Complicity in 1994 Genocide
Kigali has stepped up pressure on Paris to come clean over its alleged complicity in the Rwanda genocide of 1994 in which at least 800,000 Tutsis and their Hutu sympathisers were killed. Rwanda's government published a report on Wednesday that it had commissioned from a US law firm alleging that France helped arm and protect the perpetrators of genocide before, during and after the 100-day period from April 1994 in which up to 70 per cent of the Tutsi population was killed. Louise Mushikiwabo, Rwanda's foreign minister, said some French officials had "got away with murder, literally". Financial Times
Latest Viral Video: Ghana's Prez Throws Shade at Foreign Aid
The latest viral video to capture young Africans' social media pages has a striking lack of epic fails or baby animals. It's literally just Ghana's president Nana Akufo-Addo in a joint press conference in Accra with French president Emmanuel Macron, who was making the last stop of his first Africa tour on November 30. Akufo-Addo's response to a journalist's question about French aid has viewers reacting with the "flexed biceps" and "clapping hands" emojis. They're echoing a catchphrase from the early months of his presidency: "Ghana beyond aid." "We want young Africans to stay in Africa," said the Ghanaian president, who took office in January, to a chorus of applause from journalists. "And it means that we have to get away from this mindset of dependence — this mindset about 'What can France do for us?' " NPR

Q: matplotlib: Changing x limit dates I would like to be able to change the x limits so it shows a time frame of my choice.
reproducible example:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# libraries for Data Download
import datetime # if you want to play with the dates
from pandas_datareader import data as pdr
import yfinance as yf

df = pdr.get_data_yahoo('ETH-USD', interval = '1d', period = "5y")
plt.figure(figsize=(24,10), dpi=140)
plt.grid()
df['Close'].plot()
df['Close'].ewm(span=50).mean().plot(c = '#4d00ff')
df['Close'].ewm(span=100).mean().plot(c = '#9001f0')
df['Close'].ewm(span=200).mean().plot(c = '#d102e8')
df['Close'].ewm(span=300).mean().plot(c = '#f101c2')
df['Close'].rolling(window=200).mean().plot(c = '#e80030')
plt.title('ETH-USD PLOT',fontsize=25, ha='center')
plt.legend(['C L O S E', 'EMA 50','EMA 100','EMA 200','EMA 300','MA 200', ])
# plt.xlim(['2016-5','2017-05']) # My attempt
plt.show()

when un-commenting the line above I get:

I would have liked '2016-5' to '2017-05' to have taken up the whole plot so I can see more detail.

A: It seems to me that you xlim works well, however, if I understand your question correctly, you also need to adjust ylim (let's say (0,100) from your graph, as it doesn't seem data within the time period specified goes past value of 100) to stretch data vertically, and so fill the graph efficiently.
try adding plt.ylim((0,100)) together with your commented code
Output:
with  your plt.xlim(['2016-5','2017-05'])  and plt.ylim((0,100))

with your plt.xlim(['2016-5','2017-05']) and  plt.ylim((0,40))

as you can see, due to data variance in the period, you might lose some data information at later dates or have less clear image of movement at earlier dates.
