My roommate showed me an article summer bishil FoxNews.com today entitled, SKiddie Porn Movie Rocks Toronto as Feel-Awful Film of the Year.” The article is about Alan Ball’s (American Beauty, Six summer bishil Under) new film Nothing Is Private based on Alicia Erian’s novel Towelhead about Sa young Arab-American girl struggling with sexual obsession, a bigoted Army reservist and her strict father during the Gulf War.” Roger Friedman tells us that: I was wary of this article from first glance, so I went to the bastion of fair summer bishil opinion (ha!): the IMDb forum. I found some unique views here as well: It was wonderful, and Alan Ball handled the material honestly, and graphically without being exploitive Still not convinced, I scrolled down to find this opinion: Why dont all of you (especially those women who have been commenting) take a look in the mirror and try to imagine if such a thing happened to you or to your 13-year-old daughter. These things are horrific. Our culture danced on the summer bishil with American Beauty and Thirteen. This movie, by all accounts, plunged us over that edge to a place of darkness. If this goes unchallenged, whats next for us? How long until we allow Dakota Fanning get naked to increase the realism of a 12-year-old being raped? I, for one, think this is disgusting and hope the MPAA slaps this with at least an NC-17. Shame on the Toronto Film Festival and shame on Alan Ball. Ok. I can agree with some of that. I don’t think that having a 12-year-old actress simulate a rape scene is morally right. BUT, if one could creatively film the scene without the actress participating in rape simulation, I might not have a problem with it. If the plot point is necessary to the story, by all means … summer bishil should be included. If it’s not, then the artist is guilty of exploitation. But even the Fox News article makes it clear (albeit unintentionally) that there is more to this story than the pedophilia in question. Her mother is a self-absorbed American (Maria Bello) who cares nothing for her child and loads her with more baggage than a porter at JFK. And that’s not all. Jazeera, abandoned and then seduced by next-door neighbor Eckhart, has already been abused by Bello’s second husband. She also falls into summer bishil sexual relationship with a boy from school. Quite obviously, there is more to this story than pedophilia and Skiddie porn.” Heres what a reviewer at Aint It Cool News said after a preview screening: Back to another IMDb poster: If you see the film, you will realize that Alan Ball is not trying to make the rape of a child artful or cool as the last person said. When people with the same opinion as [the poster above] see this movie, they will realize that the film isnt about making the rape entertaining, but far from it. During the Eckart/Bishil rape scenes, you could have heard a pin drop in the theatre. Very to watch, but it wasnt bad enough for anyone to walk out. Very little of the story is actually about Jasira being raped. Its more about just what the plotline says. Completely ignore comments made by summer bishil like [the poster above]. Fantastic cinematography, great music, and an incredible screenplay. And one more that should pretty much make clinch the whole issue: All the controversy around this brings me summer bishil to my favorite film: American Beauty. I remember all the controversy when it came out. I remember reading conservative reviews saying things like Steven Isaac at Focus On The Family: In 1999, I was 12 years old. I remember reading these kinds of things about American Beauty and being sickened by it. I stayed away from the film like the plague because, from what I was reading, it was just a sinful, sick, defense of pedophilia. I remember saying a prayer for Alan Ball and everyone behind American Beauty … a prayer that they would realize the error of their ways and start walking down the path of righteousness. In my eyes, they were nothing but hideous pornographers. As I grew in my understanding of the purpose of art, I began to take my thoughts captive more and more. I started seeing film as art and not just entertainment. I found other Christian reviews of American Beauty that actually saw the ideas of the artists as something to be engaged and thought about. I even found a book by Robert K. Johnston called Useless Beauty that built a bridge between the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes and a few modern films, one being American Beauty. Near the end of my junior year in high school I rented American Beauty and watched three times in one weekend. I was totally enraptured by it. I thought about it. I engaged it. I began to see that this was not the work of pornographers trading Ssexual fantasy for box-office dollars” but the work of extremely talented artists, putting their worldview in front of me and asking me to think long and hard about the concept of beauty. People fear and even hate what they don’t understand. Sadly, this means that most conservative Christians hate a film that shows them something that offends them, which American Beauty most certainly does. Roger Ebert said that American Beauty is not about a twisted sexual relationship, but Sabout yearning after youth, respect, power and, of course, beauty.” Look closer. It’s not so about summer bishil actions of these characters but what these actions represent. In then end, I do not wholly agree with the ideas of American Beauty and recognize some of them as completely unbiblical. This doesn’t the fact that I greatly value the film. I value it because it is a perfectly crafted piece of contemporary art that has made me think and evaluate my perception of beauty. Aesthetically, it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It packs an extremely important piece of advice as well: look closer. When Nothing Is Private presents itself to cinemas across the country, this is exactly what audiences will have to do. |
This year, in an effort to teach my niece and nephews something more important than materialism and capitalism, not to mention giving very unique presents to three kids who literally have *everything*, I donated money to the World Wildlife Fund and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in their names. For my niece, Karli, I adopted a Chimpanzee because monkeys are her favorite animals (even though Chimpanzees are primates, like most children she associates them with the word monkey). And for my youngest nephew, Aiden, I adopted a Polar Bear. One day, hopefully, hell understand why. Both of these adoptions support WWFs worldwide conservation efforts including fighting threats like habitat loss and poaching faced by the david sheldrick [I] chose and david sheldrick critically endangered species. For my oldest nephew, Alex, I fostered a baby, orphaned elephant in his name. I chose the David Sheldrick david sheldrick because I had visited their elephant david sheldrick in 2004 and was extremely moved by their efforts. I have been donating to them ever since that visit. Im still unsure of how well these gifts will be received by a 6, 4 and 2-year-old, but at least it wont end up in the toy graveyard of quickly busted and/or forgotten toys. Me at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage with the orphaned elephant that I fostered. Karen, Kenya, 2004. |

Former Gov. Jim Gilmore has decided to form a presidential exploratory committee. Yes, that same Jim Gilmore who left Mark Warner with a surplus, but thanks to Warners fiscal ineptitude and accounting that only Enron could love, Warner thought he had a deficit and needed to raise taxes (when he wasnt otherwise busy misplacing $137 million meant for schools.) Here is a complete round-up of the Gilmore coverage : Looks like that little bit some of the articles about him not being that well-known nationally can change pretty quickly with coverage like that. |

Gustave Courbet (portrait by Nadar) I have studied the art of the masters and the art of the moderns, avant garde any preconceived system and without prejudice. I have no more wanted to imitate the former than to copy the latter; nor have I thought of achieving the idle aim of art for arts sake. No! I have simply wanted to draw from a thorough knowledge of tradition the reasoned and free sense of my own individuality. To know in order to do: such has been my thought. To be able to translate the customs, ideas, and appearance of my time as I see them — in a word, to create a living art — this has been my aim. Gustave Courbet, preface to Worlds Fair catalogue, 1855. The Stone Breakers (1850) - Gustave Courbet Courbet depicted the harshness in life, and in so doing, challenged contemporary academic ideas art, which brought him criticism that he avant garde adopted a cult of ugliness. [Apr 2006] Anarchism had a large influence on French Symbolism of the late 19th century, such as that of Stéphane Mallarmé, who was quoting as saying Je ne sais pas dautre bombe, quun livre. (I know of no bomb other than the book.) Its ideas infiltrated cafes and cabarets of turn of the century Paris. Related: avant-garde - anarchism - government - French theory Proudhon and his children (1865) Gustave Courbet The painter Gustave Courbet was friends with Proudhon and supported the latters views on change. Proudhon was avant-garde in politics, Courbet in the visual arts. One of Proudhons most avant garde and prophetic exposés was To be GOVERNED is & which is reproduced on this page. To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place[d] under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, avant garde disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is avant garde morality. (P.-J. Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century, translated by John Beverly Robinson (London: Freedom Press, 1923), pp. 293-294.) |

This week, I houston marathon stepped up the number of runs and also the pace I houston marathon at. An update on the sessions this week: Tuesday Schedule: 1 mile jog + 21.5 miles (12 mins) with 800m (5 min) recovery + 1 mile jog. Total target time: 52 mins Actual time: 53:42 Wednesday Schedule: 5 miles in 50 mins (10 min mile pace) Total target time: 50 mins Actual time: 49:22 Thursday Schedule: 1 mile jog + 2 mile (18 mins) brisk + 1 mile jog Total target time: 40 mins Actual time: 40:36 Each of these runs were between 4 and 5.5 miles, which are not long runs. These did present a couple of challenges for me though: 1) Running on three consectutive days: in all my previous training over the years, I have rarely run two days in a row as houston marathon always stuck to the run one day, rest one day approach. Running on consecutive days is thing for me, so I did not know how it would turn out. I considered switching houston marathon 3rd day for a swim just in case, but when it came to it, I decided to give it a go on the treadmill and see how it felt and it was no problem. Getting back to running after 6 weeks and recovering from the Achilles injury is still on my mind alot, but as these were short runs my legs coped ok 2) My easy running pace is slower than 10 minute mile pace. For the half-marathon in November, I used my heart-rate as the target for all the training runs, not the time taken to cover the miles, so sticking at around 136 bpm for easy runs and 152 bpm for faster sessions still meant that I rarely went faster than 10 minute miles. All of the sessions this week meant at least 10 minutes miles and much of it was faster. Running at this pace is not natural for me yet, but I was pleased that having the time targets meant that I could push harder than would and did not feel that I was pushing too hard. I have read that conventional wisdom says that running most of your long runs at a pace that gives a heart rate in lower zone (around 130bpm for me) should be the target. Consistently training at this pace should see my heart rate stay around 130bpm but my get faster. However, I have found that this marathon is way too slow for me as this gives me a 11-12 min mile pace, and I need to run 9 minute miles to clock a sub-4hr marathon. I have a really low resting heart rate (around 52 bpm) and find that running at 13obpm is way too easy. houston marathon calculated my working heart rate (around 176bpm) in an attempt to refine the lower/ middle / upper heart rate zones, but this still gives a lower zone target heart rate of around 130bpm. I dont quite understand why my resting heart rate is so low, yet when running I hit the target zones at a slow pace. So, for the runs this week, I ignored my heart rate ran at the proscribed pace regardless (I know this may not be a good idea long term, but I wanted to try it on the shorter runs). I also know that for most of the races I have done, I have averaged around 160bpm and not been completely exhausted when I finished (I always feel that I could keep going for longer). All of my runs this week were harder than normal but they were achievable. Hopefully this will increase my pace and over the coming weeks my average heart rate will drop even as I near the 9 minute mile houston marathon pace. Two more runs to come over the weekend - one short and one long (-ish: 8miles) so I will run to at around 10min 30sec mile pace and see how it feels. Good luck to John Rankin who is running the Houston Marathon this weekend and well done to runswithwind for completing the Disneyland Marathon (that sounds like a bizarre place race!!) |

I really must apologise for slacking. Id expected to do more writing, but was overcome by lack of time. And now my excuse is having people to sort out. Son is off Edinburgh, and has so far only been equipped with laptop, laundry basket and a toast-a-bag. The essentials, in other words. Duvets and plates and things are still to be found. Daughter needs less sorting, but Year 10 still feels like a biggish step. Tech coursework to be printed and school ties to be chopped in half. (I know. Its mad.) Even the bookwitch is getting an education, albeit a short one. And not a minute too soon, I hear you saying. Im shortly off to an Arvon course, at one of those places mentioned in Adele Geras Made in Heaven, with all the goings-on& Its internet free, which will prove interesting from a blogging point of view. I have just finished reading My Fathers Daughter by Hannah Pool, who is one of the course tutors. Despite not having been adopted from Eritrea, I found Hannahs book very easy to identify with, and its a real page turner. I just wanted to read on and on. |

So this week has not gone as well as the last 2. The good thing is that I seem to be alright with it?! What next? I have a difficult time when I lose 3.8 lbs? but am ok when I am up .4? So here is to a better week - with more the wild one and a quarter of the dining out options! Ooh and not letting the rain stop me from excercising - that would be a good one too. In other news: I have hardly any time at all for knitting. Again. What is going on? I would blame the good weather - but&it has been raining and raining and raining (I love the rain - that is not a complaint). I have been out and about more than usual - for example: Last night I attended a concert of budding artists. |

The idea of a renegade primary sounds very intriguing to me. On Saturday, Jan. 5, Republicans in Dick Cheneys home state will hold their own renegade primary. It is a huge risk for the state GOP. They moved up the primary date without the blessing of Republican National Committee and will lose half their convention delegates for violating the rules. But there may be a big pay-off: Wyoming could further confirm front-runner status Mike Huckabee and give him momentum into the Jan. 8 primary in New Hampshire - or provide Mitt Romney with his first, if minor, stop of what might be a Huckabee steamroller. I can hold a Hooterville primary if you want. It would be fabulous. |

Here they are folks, the happy new year comments four, the finalists for NCAAs Heisman Trophy: Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, Arkansas runningback Darren McFadden, Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, and Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel. I dont think Chase Daniel has a chance to win it. Hawaiis quarteback Colt Brennan, while probably the most talented quarterback in the group, played in a week conference so hes probably out too. My problem with Darren McFadden is that he seemed to disappear in the middle of the season. He had 3 games where he was held to under 100 rushing yards. The preseason favorite jumped back into the scene after leading his team to a huge 3OT victory over LSU. Tim Tebow, Mr. Sophmore, Mr. 51 Total Tds, can be the first in his class to get the Heisman. He probably has the best chance, given the fact that he wasnt even the starting quarterback on his team last year. Id like to see Colt win it, to be honest with you. I dont mind Tebow either. The Heisman is all about individual performance, and whychristmassusa.blogspot.com how your team does. None of these guys picked their schedule, glenn dorsey was given to them. And now, the Heisman goes to& |
