...actually, and the fish have got to be out. That pink little rod is going to go through some serious flex when a big one is hanging on. It'll be stuck, but saying that it's hanging makes me feel a little better about myself... I've got the hot dogs ready to go and my guy to fix the line when it gets tangled. Just a few hours of work left and I'll be nooodlin'! Pictures to come! On June 16-23, 2012 Grand Canyon National Park is hosting its 22nd Annual Star Party. All are invited to join as the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association and Saguaro Astronomy Club of Phoenix provide their knowledge and free telescope viewings each day. Visitors will be able to view Saturn along with star clusters and galaxies during the night, and the sun and planet Mercury by day. Everyone is encouraged to dress warmly because temperatures drop in the evenings. All visitors are also being advised to bring flashlights to navigate the telescope areas. This is the first time I've been able to reflect on the trip I took Easter weekend. 10 friends and I hiked from Hermit's Rest to Monument Creek in the Grand Canyon. I was given an assignment to show myself "taking a leap" and the obstacles this trip put me through definitely qualify it as taking a...

...Conservation is the appropriate use of land controlled by humans to ensure the elimination of potential waste of natural resources. Preservation is leaving land and the natural resources it has maintaining its natural state; protecting it from any harmful human manipulation. I believe humans can harvest forest resources in an environmentally friendly way. Although not left in its natural state managed to do away with misuse and make the most of the natural resources for future generations to benefit from. Watching the Bridger Teton video and soaking in the spellbinding and breath taking scenery of Yellowstone; I can clearly see where the debate can become heated. The beauty of Bridger Teton is one of a kind, and the idea it will one day be gone or in a state nowhere its current grander is a frightening notion. However, so is the energy crisis America will face in the coming years and generations to that will follow. If the lands of the Greater Yellowstone, will be used for their natural oil and gas resources this will entail the drilling, construction of roads and pipelines the possibility of maintaining its current state seems impossible. I am inclined to believe as stated in the Bridger Teton piece “I’m not against oil and gas exploration, per se, in Wyoming. I am against it in some of these areas that are unique.” If we can preserve “the heart” of Yellowstone and conserve additional lands in Wyoming it is possible to reap the benefits of these luscious lands. ...

...Nikola Tesla, commonly known as The Wizard, was a man known for his brilliant ideas of grand proportions. Though the two articles, Nikola Tesla and the Story Behind his Genius by Leah Binkovitz and The Rise & Fall of Nikola Tesla & his Tower, give an account for the life and achievements of Nikola Tesla, they have vastly different perspectives. These articles have many similarities, but one of the biggest differences is their interpretation of Tesla as a man. While the article Nikola Tesla and the Story Behind his Genius shows Nikola as a remarkable man going on to call him, “a maverick [in both business and in science]” (Binkovitz, pg. 3). The Rise & Fall of Nikola Tesla & his Tower gives a bleak description of Tesla and his life. The introduction...

...Assemble and Sightseers). The first text, Sightseers, has the hybrid genre of black comedy, comedy, crime and thriller, whilst also touching on horror at points (the murders). The Avengers Assemble has a hybrid genre of sci-fi, action and fantasy. I will be looking at the parts of these movies that are typical of the genres that they are categorised in. The first text I will explore is Sightseers. In black comedies and crime, the iconography and location is often rural countryside; so Sightseers is challenging the conventions of the crime genre – often held in places associated more with ‘gangsters’, e.g. council estates, rougher areas (perhaps more populated) as opposed to the peaceful nature of the countryside. The choice of a caravan park adds a feeling of tranquillity and isn't an immediate location that springs to mind when it comes to thinking about the crime genre - so Ben Wheatley, the director, who has directed black comedies in the past, will have wanted to challenge the conventions of these movies. The comedy aspect is explored within quite a few scenes, the jokey comments that Tina is making to her mum at the beginning of the movie (where she repeats 'mum' several times, which is becomes quite humorous). The sort of humour used does challenge the conventions of a comedy as there are no out and out jokes, but some of the shots used such as Tina throwing food inside a bears mouth create a shock factor, that also makes you laugh - this is another way in which Ben Wheatley...

...The Qualitative Report Volume 8 Number 3 September 2003 447-461 http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR8-3/mccaslin.pdf The Five-Question Method For Framing A Qualitative Research Study Mark L. McCaslin University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA Karen Wilson Scott University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA The Five-Question Method is an approach to framing Qualitative Research, focusing on the methodologies of five of the major traditions in qualitative research: biography, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Asking Five Questions, novice researchers select a methodology appropriate to the desired perspective on the selected topic. The Method facilitates identifying and writing a Problem Statement. Through taking a future perspective, the researcher discovers the importance and direction of the study and composes a Purpose Statement. The process develops an overarching research question integrating the purpose and the research problem. The role of the researcher and management of assumptions and biases is discussed. The Five-Question Method simplifies the framing process promoting quality in qualitative research design. A course outline is appended. Key words: Qualitative Research, Five-Question Method, Biography Research, Phenomenology Research, Grounded Theory Research, Case Study Research, and Ethnography Research Introduction Planning a qualitative study for the first time tends to be an intimidating venture for graduate students just entering...

...Title: The Catcher in the Rye Author: J.D. Salinger Setting: Time: A long weekend in the late 1940s or early 1950s Place: Holden begins his story in Pennsylvania, at Pencey Prep. He then recounts his adventures in New York City. Themes: Alienation as a form of self-protection; the painfulness of growing up; the phoniness of the adult world Characters: • Holden Caulfield- he protagonist and narrator of the novel, Holden is a sixteen-year-old junior who has just been expelled for failing from Pencey Prep. Although he is intelligent and sensitive, Holden narrates in a cynical and jaded voice. He finds the hypocrisy and ugliness of the world around him almost unbearable, and he tries to protect himself from the pain and disappointment of the adult world. The criticisms that Holden aims at people around him are also aimed at himself. He is uncomfortable with his own weaknesses, and at times displays as much phoniness, meanness, and superficiality as anyone else in the book. • Ackley- Holden's next-door neighbor in his dorm at Pencey Prep. Ackley is a pimply, insecure boy; he often barges into Holden's room and is oblivious to Holden's hints that he should leave. • Stradlater- Holden's roommate at Pencey Prep. Stradlater is handsome, self-satisfied, and popular. • Jane Gallagher - A girl with whom Holden spent a lot of time one summer. Jane is extremely important to Holden, because she is one of the few girls whom he both respects and finds attractive. • Phoebe Caulfield...

...of the fall school term and Christmas, when Holden is sixteen years old.As Holden goes out to the lobby, he starts to think about Jane Gallagher and, in a flashback, recounts how he got to know her. They met while spending a summer vacation in Maine, played golf and checkers, and held hands at the movies. One afternoon, during a game of checkers, her stepfather came onto the porch where they were playing, and when he left Jane began to cry. Holden had moved to sit beside her and kissed her all over her face, but she wouldn’t let him kiss her on the mouth. That was the closest they came to “necking.” Holden leaves the Edmont and takes a cab to Ernie’s jazz club in Greenwich Village. Again, he asks the cab driver where the ducks in Central Park go in the winter, and this cabbie is even more irritable than the first one. Holden sits alone at a table in Ernie’s and observes the other patrons with distaste. He runs into Lillian Simmons, one of his older brother’s former girlfriends, who invites him to sit with her and her date. Holden says he has to meet someone, leaves, and walks back to the Edmont. Maurice, the elevator operator at the Edmont, offers to send a prostitute to Holden’s room for five dollars, and Holden agrees. A young woman, identifying herself as “Sunny,” arrives at his door. She pulls off her dress, but Holden starts to feel “peculiar” and tries to make conversation with her. He claims that he recently underwent a spinal operation and isn’t sufficiently recovered...

...Interjection by David Gagne 1 • An Essay on In Our Time by Nathan Kotas 2 • Preludes to a Mood in The New York Times October 18, 1925 3 • Love and War in the pages of Ernest Hemingway by Percy Hutchinson 4 Ernest Hemingway had the most unique and colourful style of writing . He used symbolism. His style of writing involved getting right to the core of the scene without spending much time on building of characters. He used simple and declarative language. But this unique style of writing, made many feel that Hemingway was an artist in his essence. Lets find what these four people have to say on this particular aspect of Ernest Hemingway. The first two essays deal with mainly the narrative style of Hemingway. As such, they would justify that Hemingway was truly an artist because of his narrative style. The latter two place Hemingway in a super soul level. His writings are considered more divine and bestowed with a power to evoke higher levels of feelings and that would be because of his real life experiences....

In 1941, that film was Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane. Welles produced, directed, wrote, and starred in the movie at age twenty-five, playing a newspaper magnate from a young man to old age. While the movie was not a commercial success initially (powerful newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose life was the inspiration for the movie, tried to suppress it), it was critically praised for its acting, story, and directing. Citizen Kane’s dramatic camera angles, striking film noir–style lighting, nonlinear storytelling, montages, and long deep-focus shots were considered technically innovative for the era. Over time, Citizen Kane became revered as a masterpiece, and in 1997 the American Film Institute named it the Greatest American Movie of All Time. “Citizen Kane is more than a great movie; it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound,” film critic Roger Ebert wrote.1 CHAPTER 6 ○ MOVIES 185 (c) Bedford/St. Martin's bedfordstmartins.com 1-457-62096-0 / 978-1-457-62096-6 MOVIES A generation later...
