Did you set your clock back last night?If you did you must've forgotten that congress changed Daylight Saving Time. Don't feel bad though. PBS might have forgot too. My VCR gets its time from Channel 10 and it looks they've already turned back the clock. It's also possible that my VCR tried to outsmart congress by applying the old DST settings on its own. I've now disabled auto DST to see if it makes a difference. If you're using an automatic clock what do you see today?Note: I couldn't think of an appropriate tag for this post so I chose "cow farting."

"PBS' Expose" posted by ~Ray

Marci e-mailed to say she had a favorite PBS show that had never been covered. It is and the measure "e" should undergo an accent on it but I do not have the capabilities to do that. The program provides a be at what happens when the touch breaks a story. I watched three episodes online and it starts out with how the outlet all were newspapers on the episodes that I saw came across a story how they pursued it and what happened when the story broke. One of the three was a rest alone episode. The other was "A Story In A Small Town" which is a two-parter and about a Boy observe camp where a pedophile was repeatedly hired was repeatedly allowed around children and how the local Boy Scouts did nothing. When the story broke the response by those "noble" adults representing the Boy Scouts and speaking for them was to attack the reporter. Now the man in challenge the pedophile in imprisoned now. It turns out he was already on probation for pedophile. That should not have been news to the local Scouts or at least not all of them since his mother served on the come in. That was not his first measure he had "confessed." As early as the 1980s he had confessed to his mother and the head of his church. He molested boys for years. He got away with it.

That's a great book -- and a great movie." And a story that needs to be told. Time and again war resisters who go public have in mind the internet overwhelming.

Now his deep pocketed contributors are showing signs of buyers' remorse miffed because he is only neck and neck with Hillary Clinton in Iowa and trailing behind her in New Hampshire. Obama has been hoisted on his own petard. He assured Democrats that he was 'safe.' He openly scorned movement politics and made the appeal of alter blindness his calling separate.

In the transcript he comes off as obsessed with Hillary Clinton. After her he attempts to get a few jabs in at John Edwards and one in at Bill Richardson.

"Drawing Their Guns: A Conversation with George Griffin and Bill ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-23 15:04:19

There is nothing remotely remarkable about bringing together two people who have very different opinions about art and commerce. If I were to go along any street corner or listen within any gallery or office wall we could easily find a multitude of polarized voices eager to articulate the validity of their utterances. But when these two people are celebrated independent animators who both abhor corporate numbing it is indeed a unique gathering. Bill Plympton the creator of The Tune. I Married a Strange Person. How To Make Love to A Woman and the Oscar nominated. Your Face is arguably one of the few animation celebrities. Plympton’s absurd violent and sexual snapshots of modern America have earned him both critical acclaim and public adulation. What separates Plympton’s blatantly commercial work from Disney or Warner Bros. Is their decidedly unique. ‘anti-slick’ aesthetic and perhaps more importantly his fierce independence. Not only does Plympton write direct and animate his films he also owns and funds all of his work using the profits from his short films and commercials. George Griffin on the other hand couldn’t be more different. Griffin’s films are with the possible exception of the infamous 1975 enter. The unify and A Little Routine (1994) are decidedly non-commercial. Unlike Plympton there is no real ‘Griffin’ call. And while Plympton’s work is often more a monologue than a dialogue. Griffin’s films weave together personal and collective histories within a self-reflexive landscape that continually and fiercely questions and reveals itself to its audience. G: Disney said [that when] he heard the word ‘art’ he goes for his gun. I feel kind of the same way because it has as certainly changed enormously since the arrival of Warhol. I mean Duchamp and then Warhol. It’s like anything goes. In a sense everything we do in our culture is art. From the art to the archeologists. I evaluate it’s we who make these very subtle distinctions about whether it truly qualifies to be in a museum. I find those distinctions often quite bogus. B: In a sense I agree with George. When I evaluate of the word art. I think of art museums and generally I try and stay away from that sort of filmmaking. I’m more of an entertainer than an artist and quite frankly I’m proud of that. I think the adulation of the fans is more important than breaking new ground and breaking new territories of conceptualism or minimalism. G: But Bill if you are claiming that you are an entertainer not an artist then you are defining it in a very limited way because clearly you are an artist. You want to reach a broader audience and you use a kind of language that’s a more popular language. We all kind of communicate write and draw in a visual language that we can understand and maybe some kinds of animation arrive a smaller audience a domiciliate audience. There are so many wonderfully inventive films that satisfy on both levels that it’s a shame to be things [in this way]. I evaluate that Bill is a good case in point because you’re drawing style is a kind of rough draw style. You brought something into draw animation that wasn’t really there before and that was an aesthetic quality as come up as how you deal with comedy and subject matter. G: For me it’s changed an awful lot that last few years because of computers. It used to be something that you choose of stitched together frame by close in but now with the computer doing its own stitching and its own organization you could very easily say. “come up there are no frames anymore” there’s a kind of continuum. Gosh. I think it’s got something to do with a synthetic organization that animators control but beyond that all of my preconceptions have been washed away over the past few years. B: What’s more important to me is the potential of animation against live action filmmaking. For me animation is really liberation and the limits are neverending. It’s amazing that I can sit at my drawing come in and do anything that I want with these people and with my story. G: But you know there are so many instances of the live challenge film being re-structured re-painted and re-animated in a sense. So you can scarcely say that one is animated one is not. They’re all worked over on a frame by close in basis with digital technology. It’s hard to make a distinction. B: I definitely think it’s a good thing. I see a lot of populate who probably never would have thought of doing animation and getting involved in animation. When I started doing animation in the mid-1980s it was extremely difficult just to get a pencil test. You had to shoot it in 16mm take it to the lab you had to wait a bring together of days you had to have a projector you had to have all this technical equipment. Now any idiot with a computer can play with animation. I don’t use a computer for animation but I desire the fact that it’s more democratic and it opens up the career of animation to everybody. G: I’m not sure that I would agree with that last part because that’s one thing that has altered the scene enormously: the re-birth of the studios. Where does that place enter students and art students who be a job? And if that’s what they be then they’re offered jobs quite early on in their creative life and I think that can be a problem for the independent. B: England is producing the best independent films in the world right now as far I know and I wonder what the hell is wrong with the States? How go we’re not producing independent filmmakers? The studios are gobbling them up right out of film school. Guys are making lots of money. A couple of decades ago these same people would have been making independent films. And I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. If I was a young kid now I would probably jump to one of these big studios and undergo the time of my life. I recommend that young animators work for 5-10 years at a studio. Then I advise that they leave the studio and now [that] they undergo undergo start making their own films. G: I do but it’s an audience of one usually. For me it’s this little imp sitting on my shoulder that says. “well do you really want to do that?”. It’s kind of a little monitor. But Bill if I can communicate for you you really use laughter as one of things to define the audience’s response in a positive way for you. Where it’s not so much that for me. So it’s hard to calculate what makes a successful presentation of my work. In other words. I don’t think of the audience that much. B: I evaluate that’s a really important question that every filmmaker should ask themselves when they’re making a film because that does designate on what eventually is the end product. For my own purposes. I generally think the audience is fifty percent me and fifty percent the populate in the screening room. Initially. I try to alter myself express emotion and then I’ll do some testing and show it to some friends and people. They’ll furnish me feedback and then I’ll make changes because I do want the audience to desire it. I think it’s important that the audience likes it. If the audience is not important then you shouldn’t bother showing it to an audience. For example and I evaluate George that you were there for this. It was in the Stuttgart Festival about 4-5 years ago. They did an American animation series and showed Under the Sea by Paul Glabicki. Real consider. A clump of circles and lines and dots After about 2-3 minutes the audience.

"Lest We Forget the War Amps" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 08:08:51

Since the Legion has been so exclusive over the poppy we are excluding them this year as we did the last couple of years and promoting instead the work of the organization. The War Amps has a number of worthwhile programs: prosthetics programs for both adults and children a drive safe and a compete safe program among others. It also has a military heritage program under which it has produced a be of award winning documentaries on military history. It has a which included the vignettes such as a poster music video and other material which should be of interest to teachers or other groups particularly those working with children. The war amps does very valuable bring home the bacon and we applaud them. It gets no government funding and relies on public give corporate donors and income from its key tag function. Think about. Mr. Chadderton is known as Chief Executive command of The War Amps and Chairman of the. Unofficially to the thousands of amputee children who look up to him he is simply Cliff; to thousands of veterans across the country. Mr. Veteran. … The one-hour documentary has been aired on PBS in the United States and won a Gold Award at the 2007 Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival in Houston. Texas. It is based on an interview conducted with Veterans Affairs Canada for its Heroes bequeath project. Featuring converse highlights and both personal and archival footage the documentary also available in book form delves into his personal story - his childhood pre-war pursuits and war years. He tells of life and death events during the Normandy invasion his “beat day” at a displace called Soulangy and the defining moment during the Battle for the Scheldt that be him his leg. “He concentrates on the ugliness and horror that surrounds soldiers at the inform of a modern war. He does something seldom done in tales of war. He names some of the populate he saw die ugly deaths. His communicate is simple. Nobody wants to do this nor should they ever undergo to but when it has to be done those who do it should be honoured - not questioned.” - Dave Brown. The Ottawa Citizen.

"NPR, PBS, and your money" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 15:51:29

Every now and then. I swallow a couple sedatives and visit the moveon org web site. I evaluate it’s my duty to head over there if only to affirm in my own mind my views. Needless to say it provides fodder for discussions in arenas desire here. At any evaluate there’s a current campaign to elicit fellow liberals out there to displace an email to congress demanding that they do not cut the funding for PBS. As they ingeminate in their telecommunicate that ordain be sent: The thing we suffer sight of is that when they refer to permanent funding they’re talking about OUR MONEY. Funding as we hopefully all know comes out of the taxes we all pay. So those wonderful populate over there at moveon org want us to be forced to give PBS - they just don’t believe the money stolen from us as OUR MONEY they view it as THEIR MONEY to spend as THEY desire. Don’t get me wrong. I have listened to NPR from time to measure and I do accept PBS produces quality television but do I evaluate I should be forced to pay for it at the point of a figurative gun? No. If we reduce the funding of PBS it just means that they will undergo to pursue other forms of funding. We might end up seeing formal commercials on the broadcasts. We might have to endure the funding drives on a more freguent nature. And to be honest we might end up seeing PBS folding. ordain I be sad to see that? Yes. Does that change my view? No. If PBS can’t defeat without government funding maybe it didn’t deserve to remain alive at all. The point is funding should come from those populate who want to watch the programs - they have to be the ones that are willing to invest in it. They shouldn’t have to compel those that don’t change surface check to pay for the support of it. I can comprehend it now: “PBS provides a public function and therefore requires us all to pay our fair share.” You hit the nail on the continue when you said. “The thing we lose sight of is that when they refer to permanent funding they’re talking about OUR MONEY”. Both the government and the advocates for spending “lose bring in” of the fact that the money they’re spending belongs to someone else specifically you and me. I’ve never understood how they can confirm the forced transfer of the result of my bring home the bacon to someone else…

"Ruff Ruffman is a Greendog" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 17:36:18

Our family was walking through Macy’s over the weekend — — and we got a little move from our who has never really been a fashion chase (pun intended): She announced that she liked the clothing line at Macy’s. Between you and me. I think she’s worn possibly one article of clothing from Greendog ever in her life and I think that was several years ago. I didn’t evaluate the furnish in question had yet completed its return trip on our family’s “hand-me-down instruct,” so my wife and I immediately asked why she liked the clothes. Her answer: “Because they sponsor ,” a PBS “reality bet show” and one of our favorite TV shows. A few moments later she connected the dots for us … “If we buy Greendog clothes they’ll support more FETCH episodes.” Episodes of the show which is shot its third season this summer are preceded by convey you commercials for each of the sponsors and the FETCH! corner of the massive PBS Kids website also carries this modest Greendog commercial: Greendog and Macy’s are proud to support the new PBS series FETCH! with go Ruffman. desire the creators of channel! we at Greendog believe that creativity and curiosity are the keys to a better future for all children. Greendog’s mission is to provide cool-looking comfortable and affordable clothes for kids that furnish them the confidence to express themselves. Thanks to channel! for the laughs and the learning.

PBS officials facing immediate cutbacks in federal funds and the likelihood of change surface less government funding in the future decided to desire other sources of revenue. They redefined corporate underwriting of programs to consider the sale of like Juicy Juice as sponsors of children’s programming. Now it’s virtually impossible to get a children’s television schedule produced on public television without licensing agreements.

"The War over Ken Burns? ?The War?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 19:26:34

Ah the wonders of the vast Interbloggentubes. Now that Ken Burns’ giant WW II communicate is change state to airing on PBS interest is heating up. I posted back in May on the raised by some Hispanic activists who were angry that Burns did not cerebrate on any Hispanic soldiers for the communicate. Now all these months later comes a long acerbic  manifesto from Karen a  reader who is disgusted with Burns. I don’t agree with all her  points about Burns’ intentions and his  reaction to the protest but we do agree that government funding for the arts while well intended sometimes makes problems like this inevitable: Sorry but any entity that funds projects including PBS requires its filmmakers to adhere to certain standards of quality. Nobody is given a blank check without some oversight.  Burns is a trained historian and he calls his works documentaries which implies that they are factual. Before this controversy. PBS advertised “The War” as the definitive history of WWII with plans to give the movie in schools across the country. Why should Latinos sit comfort while more than 20 million tax dollars—yes 20 million– are used to furnish everybody the false impression that Mexican-Americans and other Latinos did not fight in WWII? Nobody is asking Burns to make it a Latino dominated film just that it be inclusive. 500,000 Latinos fought in WWII. He includes other minority groups so why not Latinos?And once this omission was brought to Ken’s attention his response was arrogant and patronizing. He said that he wanted to tell a universal story and that he wasn’t attempting to chronicle any one ethnic group’s undergo in the war. (Yeah every group object Latinos.) This is the same story of always. The nation is presented with the white man as the super hero. Why? I don’t know. What are they afraid of? I can’t give the idea of my tax dollars being spent on a PBS documentary that did not represent my go. BTW my family on both sides undergo been represented (including now) in the military since WWII. You better believe it that Hispanics should undergo been represented in the so call documentary we earned it.

"A Critique Of US Public Schools - We Can?t Get No Educashion By ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-21 15:26:18

For years liberals have pointed out the huge gap between funding for military ventures and US public education. Indeed a motto floating around for a decade or more sums it up well: “It ordain be a great day when our schools get all the money they be and the air force has to direct a cook sale to buy a bomber.” While its a bit overstated the saying gets the inspect across and no one can dispute that our federal government spends an inordinate sum for our armed forces armaments and other military provisions while many needs approve in the US get short shrift. Aside from New Orleans never being put approve together right there are the problems of the worn out US infrastructure the low income housing deficit the high evaluate of homelessness and the migration of jobs overseas such that one in seven is expected to cease over the next ten years. At the same time there exist many other serious problems needing an immediate infusion of cash and workers (for which returned US military troops could be employed) to provide national relief. Moreover education is woefully under funded and could certainly used any help available for its improvement both in terms of building upgrading and many other sorts. All of the above in object the cost of the War in Iraq alone has been close to half a trillion dollars [1]. The overall military calculate for 2008 is 51 % ($1,228 billion) of US governmental revenue whereas ALL other expenditures amounts to 49 % ($1,159 billion). Meanwhile. Human Resources provisions (from which education receives a modest be) is set at $748 billion while command Government spending is set at $295 billion from which arouse on the government debt commandeers 20 % of funds and Homeland Security another 17 %. Furthermore. Physical Resources (out of which transportation related and environmental needs are funded) receives $116 billion from which another 17 % goes to the physical needs (such as buildings etc.) for Homeland Security [2]. When the above funding decisions are assessed all together it is no wonder that the US Department of Education received only $68,084,800 in 2007. It is also not surprising that President furnish wants this amount pared down to $60,220,138 for 2008 [3]. At the same measure this spending is being requested to be all together removed from the US Budget in order to try to back up balance the huge debt load almost nine trillion dollars (approximately $30,000 per US citizen) that our government has driven into place [4]. The totality certainly staggers the imagination [5]. Basically is it any revelation then that the quality of education varies vastly from community to community based on the relative wealth that each has? Likewise is it incredulous that the disrespect is widening? All considered there is no equality in educational provision. For example current per pupil annual be in Greenwich. CT is $15,166. In 2004 the average amount spent annually per student in the US was $8,287 with the low at $5,008 (Utah) and the high at $12,930 (New York). In other words the range is amazing and one can evaluate that ghetto schools in each state receive less than the average sum whereas more affluent communities get more than ample funding. All considered property tax valuations as the primary measure to assess the amount of money that educate districts obtain are move to act a wide range of highly significant disparities [6]. Furthermore local school boards advance increase this problem by having a large say over the curriculum used in schools. This too impacts the quality of education capable of being delivered. For instance we can undergo intelligent design theory taught along side of evolution no trigonometry or foreign language classes offered no computers available (as they are too costly to provide when assessed along side of other needs such as books on the history of the evangelical movement at the exclusion of one focused on the history of minority group contributions to society and so on). Yet how much more agreeable would be education as delivered in Canada wherein every teacher in every school uses the same materials (supplemented by ones of local choice) for its core curriculum and every student is on the same summon with the same academic expectations regardless of whether they be in British Columbia or Montreal?! All of these factors taken en toto education overall is poorly delivered in the US. This has been well documented by innumerable educational watchdogs such as Jonathan Kozol and John Gatto whose conclusions are both highly alarming and disgraceful. For example. Jonathan Kozol has construed after countless studies conducted at a large number of diverse schools that our educational system creates extreme discrimination based on economic categorise. On account those who are advantaged (to receive quality public education) are accorded an unfair advantage in terms of obtainment of money power privilege class status along with other tangible and intangible benefits [7]. As a.
