WaveSport Project Whitewater Kayak Review

WaveSport Project Whitewater Kayak Review With Bryan Kirk
The WaveSport Project series has been getting quite a bit of attention recently, mainly do to the introduction of the ultra-light, carbon-fiber Project 54Cx. Peter Csonka also won the 2008 World Freestyle Championships in a Project 52, which gives reason to think that this boat is still a top notch freestyle machine. Here is a summary from Bryan Kirk about the history of the boat, as well as his thoughts on why it is such a good performer for both men and women paddlers:
Wave Sport's Project playboat is gaining legendary status. It was conceived and tested by Jimmy Blakeney, Robert Peerson, Bryan Kirk, and other WS Team freestylers to be a fast, poppy, carving wave and hole machine. It was released originally in summer 2005, and is still impressing playboaters who take one for a spin in 2009. The hull is the same epic shape as it always was, but the new Projects all have a beefed-up cockpit designed to withstand years of thrashing.
The Project continues to be paddled to victory at pro freestyle events around the world. In late summer of 2008, Peter Csonka dominated the World Cup in his Project 52, and took the gold medal in the biggest event of the year. Bryan Kirk took the win at the 1st annual NOC Pro Invitational in his Project 52 in August. He was in the lead by over a hundred points in the prelims and finals to take home the $750 1st place prize.
The Project was an evolution of the mighty ZG's, and was tested on the waves of the New River Dries and Buseater on the Ottawa River. A total of five prototypes were tested to totally perfect the hull and deck shape. This is quite possibly the most effort that has ever gone into testing a new playboat design.
Our goals for the Project were the ultimate in high performance freestyle paddling. We would not stop our R&D mission until we had the fastest, loosest hull on the planet. It's been four years since the Project was released, and the only boat in the world that is looser is the P54Cx, a carbon/kevlar $2500 super-boat! We also tested different deck configurations until we arrived at the optimum combination of slice for cartwheels and pop for loops.
The Project is also a top playboat choice for women. Former Team WS paddler Tanya Shuman is still heard today saying, "the 45 is my dream boat." She was even spotted this week down on the Dries surfing her P45. She's in radiology school now, but is still able to rip on a wave in her Project. Her favorite aspect of the Project is that it is easy for her to get on edge and throw around.
There are very few boats that have stayed at the top of their category for as long as the Project has. It has remained unchanged from its original honed shaped for good reason: the boat does not hold you back in your mission to go bigger.
-Bryan Kirk
Paddler Weight
80-140lbs.
139-190lbs
One of the best wave boats ever made(check out YouTube below).
The Project works well as a downriver freestyle boat(see YouTube clip below). The ends are well balanced and the hull feels much more stable than some other full-on rodeo boats like Riot's and Liquid Logic's. They seem to do well at the park, but can be a handful downriver.
The Project is super easy to roll, similar to the Fuse Series.
The slicey ends make cartwheeling easy,even for light paddlers(see video below).
Comfortable outfitting(one more YouTube for ya').
It's been around for a while, but has proven itself as a world class freestyle boat.
The 45 gallon version is great for smaller paddlers and women.
Waaaay less expensive than the Project 54Cx, and performs almost as well.
The Project is an awesome boat if you can find a size that fits you. The jump from 52 to 64 gallons is a big span. It's too bad that there is not a boat for the "in between size" kayaker (me). Paddlers in the 6'0"-6'2" and 180-200 pound size range will probably move to another boat (The All Star) because they do not really fit in either size Project(serious toe jam in the 52 or floating in the 64 ). If you've got the coin, the Project 54Cx will be 54 gallons, and have more room for larger boaters. Maybe a Project 54 is on the way???
If you like having the newest, latest and greatest gear...the Project is not for you. It has been out for a long time. Go get a Project 54Cx or a Liquid Logic Biscuit. Remember though, people are still buying and paddling this boat for a reason.
WaveSport has not changed the Project in quite a while. They created a boat 4 years ago, knew it was a winner, and let it sit. Instead of trying to constantly reinvent the wheel or tweak out a great design, they left the boat as is, and let it's resume speak for itself. There are some drawbacks to the WS Project, like not being able to fit in it if you are in the 6'0"+ range, and do not want to have to paddle a 64 gallon play boat(the next size up from the 52).
Overall, this boat is a time-proven winner, and does most things really,really well(wave surf, throw down in a hole, etc). For this reason it has been cartwheeling it's way down rivers all over the world, and winning champsionships for the past 4 years. If you've been drooling over the 54Cx dream machine, but don't have the money for it, you should take a look at the WS Project series.
If you happen to fall into the 6'0" range, are too large or heavy for the Project 52, and are looking for a comfortable boat that has a similar feel, you may want to check out the WS Fuse Series. They make a Fuse 56 that is sized perfectly for the mid to large adult paddler.

We've made it back home from our vacation. A little tanner. A little thicker. Take a look at the pics. What follows are a few memories that weren't documented by film.
Disc golf at Hickory Hills is the most awesomest thing ever. Well, maybe the next most awesomest thing after Strongbad. Hickory Hills Disc Golf Course, which has difficulty hiding the fact that it is a ski resort, sprawls over hilly terrain dotted with strings of ski lifts. The 24 hole course, 7712 ft. (1.5 miles), begins the front 9 in a thick wooded area, making you work up a steep incline. At the top, you work your way down and back up various ski slopes. There is an amazing par 5 that begins with a breath-taking view of entire Traverse Bay Area and ends down a more than 500 ft drop-off. There are also a few short 3 pars that appear to be extremely easy until your disc rolls down into one of the ravines that encircle the cage. I ended up getting a 6 on one of these baddies. Amy ended up winning by 2 strokes, using a handy-cap of 1 stroke for every hole. It was neck-and-neck the whole way, neither one of us getting any greater than a 3 stroke lead. Next up, the monster course at Hudson Mills.
Downtown Traverse City, in the past, has always been a disappointment. The standard fare shops are nic-nac gift shops that primarily sell miniture lighthouses, old lady clothing boutiques, and antique stores. We were happily suprised to find that things are changing for the better. A surge in hip new shops like Cool Waves, Shag Snazzy Stuff, and Rue 101 are making the scene much younger and trendier. It seems there is staying power in these shops since the sales people are extremely friendly and really enjoy their jobs. I love it!
One final note. Never take a boat that has a hole in it out on the lake, no matter how much your Sister Sara says that it's the most awesomest thing ever. Don't let this siren's beautiful voice and charming good looks fool you into drowning like we almost did.
May I just say that I do agree with Sara, but please linds don't believe that all McKennas are so dorky! Needless to say that Steve and Amy are two wonderful people who do much better combining their outfits than keeping themselves out of the drink :) much love!

Q: How do I pass jquery result to highchart Absolute novice here at JavaScript so please forgive any bad coding.
I have been working on a project using Highchart and wish to read the value of a file (actually read the file into an array and grab a specific value - I will use other values for other graphs).
With the help of others here I can now display the value of the array into HTML however I cannot pass this into the Highchart.
My prototype page (so you can see the output) can be found at
http://maccas.chickenkiller.com/1.html
The code is

        <title>Adam's hacked up demo</title>
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="300">

Does anyone have an idea how to get the var phvalue to display in Highcharts?
Thanks in advance.

A: Since ajax is asynchronous, you can draw the graph once the request is complete
jQuery(function($){ // encapsulate jQuery

    $.ajax(
        {
            url:'livedata.txt',
            async:false,
            success: function(data){
                livedata = data.split(',');
                highcharts(livedata[3])
            }
        });

    function highcharts (phvalue) {
        $('#realtimeph').highcharts({
            chart: {
                type: 'gauge',
                plotBackgroundColor: null,
                plotBackgroundImage: null,
                plotBorderWidth: 0,
                plotShadow: false
            },

            title: {
                text: 'live pH'
            },
            pane: {

                    to: 8.3,
                    color: '#55BF3B' // green
                }, {
                    from: 8.3,
                    to: 8.7,
                    color: '#DDDF0D' // yellow
                }, {
                    from: 8.7,
                    to: 9,
                    color: '#DF5353' // red
                }]
            },

            series: [{
                name: 'Current pH',
                data: [phvalue],
                tooltip: {
                    valueSuffix: ' pH'
                }
            }]
        });
    }
});

A: This was surprisingly complicated.  You want:
$('#container').highcharts().series[0].points[0].update(x)

where x is the number you want to update with

It's official, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus have teamed up for a remix of the rapper's song, "Black Skinhead".
Producer Mike Will Made It is dishing to MTV about the exciting collaboration, which Cyrus and West worked on just moments after the 20-year-old finished her performance.
Apparently, Mike Will also find time to dish on Kanye's opinion on the VMA performance that refuses to die.

Q: Why is DNSServiceProcessResult calling my callback twice? I've built the Qt+Bonjour integration demo from Qt Quarterly, but one thing I can't wrap my head around is that a single call to DNSServiceProcessResult() is calling the DNSServiceResolveReply callback function twice.
It should be calling it once! What I mean is, this single line:
DNSServiceErrorType err = DNSServiceProcessResult(dnssref);

Results in the DNSServiceResolveReply callback I passed to DNSServiceResolve to be called twice.
The interfaceIndex is different - first time it is 10000010, second time it is 20, but I have no idea what that means.
All other parameters are the same between calls (except flags, of course, which is kDNSServiceFlagsMoreComing the first time and 0 the second).

Edit
This is how I call the DNSServiceResolve function.
DNSServiceErrorType err = DNSServiceResolve(&dnssref, 0, 0,
                                            record.serviceName.toUtf8().constData(),
                                            record.registeredType.toUtf8().constData(),
                                            record.replyDomain.toUtf8().constData(),
                                            (DNSServiceResolveReply)bonjourResolveReply, this);

A: I found the problem, it was that I was passing 0 for the interfaceIndex when calling DNSServiceResolve.
The docs say that:

If this resolve call is
                   as a result of a currently active DNSServiceBrowse() operation, then the
                    interfaceIndex should be the index reported in the DNSServiceBrowseReply
                    callback.  If this resolve call is using information previously saved
                     (e.g. in a preference file) for later use, then use interfaceIndex 0, because
                     the desired service may now be reachable via a different physical interface.

Q: Adding a temporary NavigationController to the root view I working on the push notification handling for my application. When opening the application from a notification I want to "push" a new view controller with the relevant content.
My root controller is TabBarController, so can´t use that.
I guess one solution is to add a navigation controller to my root and then use that to push to the new controller.
Is this a recommended way to do this or is there a best practice for here?

A: The code below will do what you are looking to do. However you will need to somehow allow the user no dismiss this ViewController to return to the regular UI.
- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {
      UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];

     if (state == UIApplicationStateInactive || state == UIApplicationStateBackground) {

          YourViewController *vc = [[YourViewController alloc] init];
          [self.window addSubview:vc.view];

          [self.window.rootViewController presentViewController:viewController animated:NO completion:nil];
     }
 }

People are typically surprised when I describe myself as an "economic anthropologist." Once we move past the silliness of, "yes, I really don't study dinosaurs or chase Nazis through Egypt" I usually have enough time to describe my special corner of the field. In a nutshell, economic anthropology takes the best of economics and anthropology and creates a hybrid that allows for the investigation of economic behavior as it is lived and practiced.
When I think about my history as an economic anthropologist I recall a conversation with Roger Janelli (a folklorist who specializes in Korea). Roger reminded me "there is no economy without people." I start my course in Economic Anthropology with that truism, yet it never fails to surprises me when students believe that there is an economy to be discovered and that it has little or nothing to do with social or cultural life.
Melville Herskovits described economic life as "essentially based on the broader organization of society" (1965 :7), and it is from that position that most contemporary economic anthropologists begin. We realize the importance of cultural beliefs and social practices and understand that beliefs and practices are balanced against decision making and maximizing. We see individuals as "economic actors" who are involved in making choices; the best choices they can. Balancing needs, wants, beliefs, social practices and the various realms (home and the market or the private and the public) we inhabit, decisions may seem odd to the outsider but the economic anthropologist asks the questions necessary to interpret and translate what is going on.
How does a social group produce what it wants, needs, and desires?
How are those goods exchanged?
How are those goods consumed?
In fact, these are difficult questions. Whether we study farmers or foragers, industrial capitalists or the indigenous of a place, the utilitarian and immediate meaning and role of goods (whether produced, exchanged, or consumed) is only a small part of what we want to know. What makes economic anthropology exciting is the energy we bring to looking beyond utilitarian models (see Wilk 2002: 243) as we rethink and focus on the complex nature of production, exchange, and consumption, and the link between consumption and culture, symbolism and the individual.
Economic anthropologists continue to focus their efforts on new issues and bring new perspectives to debates. Economic anthropologists are critical players as we focus on economic relationships that are not male, public, and seemingly rational. We are engaged with discussions of globalization, transnationalism, development, and economic institutions including the stock markets, multinational corporations, and health care. Ecology, landscape, and environment also influence and guide our studies as we define the complex ways in which our lives are intertwined with the world we live in.
Our interests and methods have shifted from categorizing economic behavior to looking at outcomes and processes that define economic space for individuals, communities, businesses, and social groups. We've also started to apply the tools of economic anthropology, tools forged in the analysis of rural, tribal peoples (those anthropological populations) to new and heretofore understudied settings--board rooms, stock markets, and the like. To understand the economy doesn't just mean we should study it; rather, we are in the unique and enviable position to "anthropologize" it (see Eric Wolf 1997). In other words, to look at the social and cultural basis of economic behavior.

Some anthropologists criticize the premises of the term "production" so... anthropologists not always deal with "how people produce", because they do not agree that they produce (this is the term of so called political economy and a lot of social scientists are not agree with this sistema of thinking that appeared in XVIII century, pretends to be universal and was totally foreign to another cultures. If the acceptance of the nomenclature of the political economy (Smith, Marx and so on) is necessary to be an economic anthropologist so I must call myself a cultural anthropologist critic with the modern "science" called economy.

25 Films of Christmas
So last year I tried to do 12 Posts of Christmas, unfortunately that didn't work out as I got sick and involved in Christmas-y activities. However, this year I decided to do some thing in the vein of the Chinese New Year and Saint Patrick's Day posts. Instead of posting everyday, a countdown of 25 of my fav Christmas Films. Now these aren't my top 25, but I randomly picked them and then rearranged them in the order of how I love them.
25) Love, Actually (2003)
This has a complex storyline as the film has multiple paths. There is Billy Mack, aging rock star trying to get back in the limelight, redoing Christmas songs. Mark is secretly in love with his best friend's girl Juliet but says nothing to honor his friend. Jamie flees to France after his last girlfriend cheats on him with his brother, there he falls in love with his Portuguese housekeeper. Harry, the direcctor of a design studio, contemplates having an affair with his assistant Mia. David has just become Prime Minister and develops feelings for a girl who works for him, Natalie. Daniel has just lost his wife and is raising his stepson. Sarah has feelings for Karl but her mentally ill brother, Michael, seems to throw a wrench in her plans. Colin is tired of striking out with English women and journeys to America. John and Judy are body doubles for actors who meet at work.
Why it's Great: It has Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Martin Freeman , etc; need I say more? The Colin Firth storyline is really good, in fact keep an eye open for it's reappearance this Feb.
24) Twas' the Night Before Christmas (1974)
Santa isn't coming this year as he has received an hurtful letter. A mouse and the clockmaker try and figure out what is wrong and fix it. The mouse's son is the one that caused the issue and they are trying to get him to say he is sorry so that all can have Christmas.
Why it's Great: They used to show this every year on the 25 Days of Christmas on abcFamily. It's a great spin on a classic tale.
23) Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the film based on the true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. Frank is a conman who pretends to be a teacher, pilot, doctor, and lawyer all before his 21st birthday. He steals millions of dollars in forged checks. Tom Hanks is the FBI Agent, Carl, that tracks him through the years, finally catching up with him.
Why it's Great: While this isn't your typical Christmas film, Christmas plays a significant part as it is the time that the two intersect throughout the years in the film. DiCaprio and Hanks are amazing in this film as they are such subperb actors. It's a great thing to watch.
22) Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997)
This film takes place in the midst of Beauty and the Beast. The Beast hates Christmas, because in this version that's when the Enchantress came and turned him into a Beast. Belle is trying to bring back Christmas to the castle and help heal the Beast's soul, but has to contend with an evil organ played by Tim Curry. For more Beauty and the Beast posts go here.
Why it's Great: While the song "As Long As There's Christmas" is no "Be Our Guest" or "Tale as Old as Time", it is extremely adorable. Plus Tim Curry as the villian? You just know its going to be awesome. 😀
22) Frosty the Snowman (1969)
Short film based on the song about the magic hat that brings a snowman to life and his adventures with the town's kids.
Why it's Great: Its Frosty! How can you not love him?
21) Babes in Toyland (1986)
Drew Barrymore is a young girl who is not quite in the Christmas' spirit. There is a huge storm and she gets into an accident waking up in Toyland. Mary Contrary (who looks just like her sis in 'real life') is being forced to marry the evil Barnaby Barnacle. She really loves Jack Be Nimble (played by Keanu Reeves and looks like her sis' bf in 'real life'.) Barrymore tries to stop the wedding and Barnaby's atempt to conquer Toyland. They have to find the toymaker and get his help in saving the land.
Why it's Great: This Wizard of Oz-esque film is adorable as it brings all the nursery rhymes you learned as a child to life.
20) Edward Scissorhands (1990)
A young creation, Edward Scissorhands, is discovered by an Avon saleslady, Peg. His creator was going to give him actual hands, but was not able to finish Edward before he died. The Avon saleslady takes him home to her place and has him join the family. Edward falls for the daughter Kim, played by Winona Ryder. Edward quickly becomes liked by all as he uses his scissors to create lawn art and cute hairstyles. After he is caught burglarizing a house, for Kim and her jerk boyfriend, he finds himself ostracized. In the end Edward is able to find love, his place, create more art, and make it snow.
Why it's Great: First of all it has Vincent Price, in fact this was his last film before he died. It also is a super cute story, even though it has its sad moments. The last section of the film deals with Christmas, as Peg and her family throw a huge Christmas party that no one comes to as they are shunning the fam. I love Winona Ryder's white dress in this film, I really want one for myself. It's also really cute at the end when Edward makes the ice sculptures, and snow.
19) The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Our second Tim Burton film on our list. Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, and the most popular guy in Halloweentown is disatisfied with his life. He journeys out of town and discovers doors to other holiday towns. When he goes into Christmasland he decides that he will take over Christmas and improve it. Of course nothing turns out quite as he plans.
Why it's Great: Its an amazing film, the music, characters, etc. Of course best lines, "why does nothing turn out as I plan". My favorites are "What's This?" and "Sally's Song".
18) While You Were Sleeping (1995)
Sandra Bullock works at a toll booth and everyday she watches the distinguished (and my opinion ugly) Peter Gallagher and has developed a crush on him. One day he is attacked and injured and she saves his life. At the hospital she is mistaken for his fiancé and soon brought into the family. She falls in love with them, along with Gallagher's brother, played by Bill Pullman. Gallagher wakes up to find himself massively confused, and Bullock finds herself engaged to the wrong brother. Everything works out on the end as all is righted.
Why it's Great: Well first of all it has Bill Pullman :D. Secondly it is a hilarious film, just like all of Bullock's comedys. I mean the amnesia scene is to die for. The proposal scene with Bill Pullman is so an adorable and romantic!
17) The Holiday (2006)
Two women who have suffered horrible breakups switch homes for the Christmas holiday. Iris, Kate Winslet, in England goes to California, and befriends an elderly neighbor and falls in love with a Hollywood movie theme writer (played by Jack Black). Amanda, Cameron Diaz, in California, moves to England and falls for Iris' brother, Jude Law, widower with two kids.
Why it's Great: Its an absolutely adorable idea and the couples match up are perfect. Of course the most points go to the sexy dad, Jude Law. 😀
16) Nestor: The Long- Eared Donkey (1977)
Nestor is a donkey born with extremely long ears. In the vein of Dumbo, Nestor is constantly picked on and bullied for being so different. An angel encourages him that he was born that way for a reason and has a special purpose in life. Eventually, Nestor finds himself being the donkey that Mary rides in to Bethlehem, protecting her and the unborn Baby Jesus.
Why it's Great: It is such a cute movie!!!
15) The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
This film is based on the song, "Carol of the Drum" or "The Little Drummer Boy". A little boy and his animals end up becoming slaves to a circus, being treated cruelly by all. He escapes and one of his animals is injured. He meets up with the Three Magi's caravan and goes with them to see Baby Jesus. His animal is healed and he plays his drum as thank you to Jesus.
Why it's Great: It is one of the most adorable classic cartoons that they used to show every year on abcFam.
14) Jack Frost (1979)
Jack Frost has fallen for a human girl and makes a deal that will allow him be human. He is until Spring to win her over and must also gain a horse and bag of gold in order to remain human. Being a human is harder than he thought as he has no idea the social niceties and has to contend with Kubla Khan, the evil dictator.
Why it's Great: Jack is amazing, much better than the gold knight the girl end sup with ;(. Makes you knida wish he was real. This cartoon also has great musical numbers as "Jack Frost" and "Just What I Always Wanted". I also loves Kubla Khan's little dummy that he talks to.
13) The Godfather (1972)
Such an awesome film! The Godfather is a story about the Italian mafia in the 1940s. This specific sect is overseen by Don Corleone. He has three sons; Alfredo (played by John Cazale), Santino (James Caan), and Michael (Al Pacino); and one daughter, Connie (Talia Shire). Santino is next in line to be godfather, skipping over his brother Fredo. Unlike his siblings, Michael wants nothing to do with his father's business, instead wanting to live a "legal" life. When Don Corleone is shot by a rival, it changes everyone's plans as they are all spiraled down a new path.
Why it's Great: Two words, The Godfather. There is no way to describe how amazing this film is, well actually You've Got Mail does a pretty good job. You just have to check it out for yourself. This film isn't a Christmas movie really, but does have a Christmas scene, so it counts. It's funny, but even though this doesn't have Thanksgiving, we usually watch it then in my family.
12) The Nativity Story (2006)
A retelling of the birth of Christ from Mary and Joseph's point of view. It shows the struggle that Joseph goes through, contemplating what to do about pregnant Mary. Then the two have to travel far and long to Bethlehem.
Why it's Great: They tried to keep the story as historical accurate as possible and do such a great job. It really tries to bring the biblical text to life and get you to empathize with the two and the situations they are going through.
11) The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1988)
A mini-series based on C.S. Lewis' beloved books. Four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, enter a wardrobe and a magical world. The four find themselves caught in a battle between the evil White Witch and the Godly Lion, Aslan.
Why it's Great: C.S. Lewis' great book = Great movie. Enough said! While Christmas isn't the biggest part of the plot, the group do run into Father Christmas who gives them gifts they need to win the fight against the White Witch. Peter gets a sword and shield, Susan a bow and horn that will always bring help, and Lucy a dagger and a healing substance to help the wounded. While this movie was remade by Disney, it doesn't hold a candle to this mini-series, as the series while not having the great special effects, is almost exactly the book.
10) White Christmas (1954)
Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are WWII veterans who became a song and dance duo. The two meet up with a pair of singing sisters and both head off to the same ski lodge. There they discover their old general is the owner, and may lose the place from lack of buisness and snow. The two come up with an idea to house a show there with the sisters. Bing Crosby starts a romance but the two break it off due to some misunderstandings. In the end they are all reunited and have a great number honoring the General and singing the title, White Christmas.
Why it's Great: First of all Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye! Secondly this has some truly great musical numbers; such as "Gee, I Wish I Was Back in the Army", "Sisters", along with the title song. It's a silly and zany film, you'll love it.
8) A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
The Peanut gang try to figure out the true meaning of Christmas amid all the insanities of the holiday.
Why it's Great: It's Peanuts! Snoopy is adorable as ever and Linus gives a great true meaning of Christmas speech.
9) A Garfield Christmas (1987)
Garfield and the gang head out to the Arbuckle farm for some old fashioned country Christmas
Why it's Great: Its from the good Garfield cartoons I grew up watching as a kid. That hilarious fat cat always makes the season brighter. Go here to watch.
7) A Christmas Story (1983)
Adult Ralphie narrates the time when his nine-year-old self desired a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas and all the trouble he went through to try and get it. Throughout the time leading up to Christmas, he, his family, and friends are involved in all kinds of crazy antics. The father wins a female leg lamp, Ralphie's friend Flick gets his tongue stuck to a pole, his brother won't eat unless pretending to be a pig, Ralphie gets a pink-footed bunny pajamas, etc. It all leads up to one crazy Christmas.
Why it's Great: This movie is extremely hilarious. Pretty much every scene I mentioned there and more. It is is truly a classic piece. You gotta add it to your Christmas countdown. 😀
6) The Bishop's Wife (1947)
The Bishop is trying to get a new cathedral built along with all his other duities. Feeling stressed out, he calls out to God for help, and is answered by angel Dudley, Cary Grant. Dudley helps out, that is by spending all his time with the Bishop's wife. Through this the Bishop is finally able to see what really matters in his life and the true meaning of Christmas.
Why it's Great: Uh…Cary Grant! It also has such funny actics as when we see Grant's angel powers. I mean I wish I had his tree decorating skills. This film also proves the old adage, "be careful what you wish for" is something that one should think on. 😀 For more thoughts on this film go here.
5) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
The Grinch hates Christmas and decides to destroy and end the holiday, ruining the holiday for all the Whos. However, the Grinch finds out what the true spirit of christmas is, whether he wants to or not.
Why it's Great: The Grinch was always my fav Dr. Seuss book. I just love the story so much! I remember that one year I ate a ton of a certain type of cereal and sent away for a special Grinch keychain. I lost it though in one of our moves. This film is also awesome because it has the amazing Boris Karloff narrating, and has one of the all-time best songs, "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch".
4) Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
A Macy's department store Santa believes himself to be the "real" Santa Claus. His insistence lands him in jail and then in a huge court case to determine whether or not Santa is real
Why it's Great: It's an amazing film about faith, believing in the intangible, and the true meaning of Christmas. Edmund Gwenn is a perfect Santa, Maureen O'Hara is lovely as always, and it stars a young Natalie Wood. It has amazing scenes as Santa turns Macy's into a store of goodwill, taking down the psychologist, and pretty much just being adorable. Best scene ever is the court scenes when they prove Santa's real. 😀
3) Holiday Inn (1942)
Bing Crosby plays a burnt out singer and moves to Connecticut to buy a country home and live a simple life. It soon becomes too much for him and he turns it into a hotel, open only on holidays. (Sounds like my type of place) Wannabe star Linda Mason starts to work for him and the two fall in love. Unfortunately, Crosby's old partner and womanizer, played by Fred Astaire, comes back into the picture and tries to break up the two. It involves a lot of zany romance and comical moments.
Why it's Great: The holiday songs are amazing; White Christmas, Happy Holidays, (Come to) Holiday Inn, Be Careful It's My Heart, I Can't Tell a Lie, etc. The wonderful partnership of Bing and Fred make this movie really great! 😀 A great watch. Now for some fun facts. This is the first time "White Christmas" was performed in a film. The same set was used for the film White Christmas which also stars Bing. The hotel chain Holiday Inn got their name from this movie.
2) The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan work together in a shop in Budapest and can't stand each other. Unbeknownst to them they are actually the pen pals that they are falling in love with. Stewart realizes this and does everything he can to show Sullivan that he is the man she loves and the two end up happily ever after. It was later remade as You've Got Mail.
Why it's Great: JIMMY STEWART! That pretty much says it all. I love this film so, so, so, much, there are no words to describe how great it is. So romantic! ❤
1) It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a troubled man. An angel, Clarence, is given the story of George's life and sent down from heaven to help him. George has always dreamed of leaving his hometown and traveling the world. Unfortunately, no matter what he does he continues to be stuck there. He marries and helps the town in many ways, but doesn't realize all the good he does. However, when a large sum of money goes missing and everything in his life seems to be going wrong he wishes he was never born at all. Clarence helps him by granting his wish and showing him how ugly Bedford Falls would be without him.
Why it's Great: This is one of my favorite Jimmy Stewart films. There's a reason why this film is played every year, besides the fact that it is JIMMY STEWART! It is a great movie that really shows you how even the smallest acts can make a difference in people's life. If you'd like to read more of my thoughts on this film go here. This film always makes me think of my dad. He has done so much for people and can get frustrated as he doesn't feel like his has accomplished much. "Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
So Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a great day full of family, friends, and fun. 😀

March 27, 2013 by Moreland
As you all know Easter is approaching, so here is another post chronicling Jesus' journey to the cross. I know not all of you believe in Christ, but as a mentioned earlier not only am I a Christian but I like to celebrate holidays. So to those of you who don't mind reading this, enjoy!
I chose Leonardo da Vinci's piece because it is my favorite and the most famous. Some interesting things about it is that Leonardo was the first to ever put Judas on the inside group instead of stuck on the outside. The Last Supper pictures usually looked like this, with Judas all on his own and easy to spot right away. That is why Leonardo has Judas holding the bag of silver, he wanted to be sure that people would know who he was.
Leonardo also wanted this image to be very natural and expressive, following in the tradition of the time. Instead of stoic disciples, we have each one reacting in their own way, shedding light on each one's individual personality.
Leonardo put the vantage point right behind Christ's head in front of the window which makes him the center and reminds all that he is the son of God. He also has Christ's hand in one of the standard poses shown in the High Renaissance; one hand palm up and the other one pam down. This alludes to the fact that when you die Christ will judge you whether or not you will be going up to heaven or sent to hell. It is put in to remind people to always be thinking of the future.
Leonardo also uses three's a lot. Three is a holy number, as it alludes to the trinity, and an important geometric number, the triangle. Jesus himself is a triangle, bringing to mind the trinity, but the apostles are all in groups of three as well. On the far left of Jesus is Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel), James, son of Alphaeus and Andrew. Next to them is Judas Iscariot, Peter and John the Beloved. On the right of Jesus is Thomas, James the Greater and Philip. On the far right are Matthew, Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot.
This was put in the refectory of a monastery so the table is a reflection of the area. If this was done in accordance to biblical times, Jesus and the 12 apostles would be sitting on the floor instead of being seated at the table. In creating this Leonardo combined fresco with tempera paint, causing it not to hold very well. In fact, very soon after he completed it it started to fall apart. It is continuously being restored. One of the great works that we hope will continued to be saved.
"On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, 'Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?'So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, 'Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.' The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve."–Mark 14: 12-17
"Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, 'Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.'His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, 'Ask him which one he means.' Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, 'Lord, who is it?' Jesus answered, 'It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.' Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, 'What you are about to do, do quickly.'But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out."–John 13: 21-30
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body.' Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."–Matt 26: 26-29
"Do this in remembrance of me."–Luke 22:19

"I've been using the skincare for the past two weeks and I can tell you with 100% honesty that it has been a total revelation. The two main concerns I had were that the polish would irritate my skin (it doesn't) and that the serum + oil combination would make my skin break out (it didn't). Ivadore has actually really softened and plumped my skin… My skin looks better than it has in ages! "
"I am 47 and have those annoying age spots and tired looking skin. I bought these products and I will never use anything else now. I have only been using the products for 4 days now and they have faded by half. Ladies these products are the real deal."
"I've used many different powder foundations now for many years & I must say that the new Ivadore powder is different than any others I have used, it has a fuller coverage & sits very well on the skin. I used 2 different shades light & light medium, I felt the shades ran dark compared to others, where usually I would be a medium in this brand I would choose light."
"This new powered is amazing! It offers fabulous cover without having to use much at all. My sample pot is still going strong after many weeks of use so a little goes a long way. It has fabulous light reflecting coverage, avoiding that dull matte look. Look forward to purchasing my full size pot!"
"I have been searching for so long, to find a skin care range that actually "does what it says on the tin". They all promise you will look ten years younger and how amazed your friends will all be. I tried them all, and let me tell you, there were no amazed friends!! I saw the advert for a seven day trial for Ivadore on Facebook, and thought, here we go again, but one day I gave in and ordered it. I have to say, I am honestly amazed (at the risk of sounding like a cheesy informercial) at the results. I actually do look younger, and my fine lines are virtually gone. I'm nearly 47, and having spent most of the 80's sun baking within an inch of my life, my skin was showing it. I cannot recommend Ivadore highly enough. It really has made me feel so much more confident and beautiful. Which is a big call, because I never wear make up, so what you see is what you get. Thank you Ivadore, for finally creating a range of products that actually work."

As North Korean Missile Launch Nears, Atlanta's Korean Community Protests
Jonathan Shapiro	|	WABE
Members of Atlanta's Korean community Thursday protested a planned long-range rocket launch by North Korea. Thirty or so first-generation South Koreans gathered at Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta and held signs in protest.
North Korean officials have said they will defy international warnings and launch the rocket no later than Monday.
Travis Kim of the Korean American Association of Greater Atlanta says a launch would be highly provocative. He'd like to see China put more pressure on the North Koreans.
"We need to create a worldwide alliance in order to really force North Korea to stop those programs," said Kim.
The heightened tension comes as North Koreans celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, who founded the nation in 1948.
Many of the protestors in Atlanta expressed deep concern about North Korea's new leader, Kim Il Sung's grandson, Kim Jong Un.
Here's Travis Kim once again.
"He's such a young person, which is good and bad; because he's western educated, he could be open-minded. At the same time, because of his lack of experience, he could be very dangerous to the rest of the world."
North Korea officials claim the planned launch is to send a satellite into orbit. Therefore it won't violate its agreement with the U.S. to halt its weapons program.
But U.S. officials say it's a cover for a ballistic missile test.
