Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), who later became the Duke of Wellington and the hero who beat Napoleon at Waterloo, had to overcome his own mothers lack of faith in him in order to make a success of his military career.
She once commented: I vow to God I dont know what I shall do with my awkward son, Arthur . She even believed he had little aptitude for soldiering! Perhaps this motivated him to become one of the greatest generals in British military history. Several key success lessons can be learned from his life.
Millions are programmed from an early age by their own parents and friends who place verbal limits on what they can achieve. Too often, they allow these limits to control them for the rest of their lives. Wellesley, for one, managed to demolish the limits placed on him by his own mother.
However, at first, Arthur appeared to prove that his mothers opinion of him was correct. He showed little aptitude for anything except playing the violin and socializing.
But, by 1793, when the French King was guillotined and war was declared on France, he had learned the huge success lesson of the importance of focus. He decided to take his army career seriously and burnt his violin in his fireplace so that he could concentrate all his energies on succeeding as a soldier.
This was probably a wise move. The old saying Jack of all trades and master of none, has real meaning. Successful people soon learn that they cannot do everything they want to and need to concentrate their energies on a few key projects.
Wellesley and his family had enough influence and money to buy his way up the officer ranks of the army. He was able to rise extremely quickly from the status of a junior officer to that of lieutenant-colonel at the age of 25.
He used the leverage of family and money to speed up his progress to military success. Successful people do not go it alone if they can help it. Life is too short.
However, Wellesley did not rely on family influence alone. After his regiment was sent to India in 1796, Wellesley began to distinguish himself. He worked hard to master his craft and took care of his troops.
He became a master of the reverse-slope tactic which he would use later at Waterloo. He kept his forces screened from artillery fire behind the brow of a hill. He probably realized early on that dead soldiers do not achieve victory.
He won several important battles in India and then, in 1805, returned to England. In 1808, he arrived in Portugal which was occupied by the French. He soon began a series of victories and, when given sole command, launched the Peninsular war which was to drive Napoleons armies from Portugal and Spain by 1814.
The French had seemed unbeatable until Wellesley took them on. In 1808 he had told a friend that he would not be chased off the continent as so many other similar forces had been, because he had made a study of French tactics, and would not be intimidated by their reputation.
They may overwhelm me but I dont think they will outmanoeuvre me. First, because I am not afraid of them, as everybody else seems to be; and secondly, because if what I hear of their system of manoeuvre is true, I think it a false one against steady troops. I suspect that all the continental armies were more than half beaten before the battle was begun - I, at least, will not be frightened beforehand.
Wellington knew how to stand steady in the face of a fearsome attack and he instilled the same spirit into his troops. Cool, steady, courage is a major factor in most success stories. Too many people are beaten by their own lack of self-confidence before they even start. If they do start and run into problems they panic and panic leads quickly to failure.
Wellington was called several affectionate names by his troops such as Old Hookey (he had a prominent nose), Our Atty (Arthur) and the Bugger that Beats the French. He had words for them too which show his contempt for the run away fathers and petty criminals who made up a part of his army. However, his words also show his laconic sense of humour.
Before the battle of Waterloo, it is said that Wellington said of his own troops This army is composed of the scum of the earth, I dont know what effect these men will have on the enemy, but by God they terrify me!
During the five years of the Peninsular war, he did not take one days leave. His work ethic was huge - another mark of successful people. He campaigned backwards and forwards across Portugal and Spain.
He was occasionally forced to retreat because of the large numbers opposing him, but never lost a battle or even a single cannon. He was almost always outnumbered by the large French forces that were occupying Spain.
There followed a one step forward, one step back style of campaign that kept Wellington one step ahead of his often numerically superior enemies.
When in doubt about his armys ability to defeat larger enemy forces he would retire to his strong defensive network - the Lines of Torres Vedras. His tactical skill proved itself again and again. Wellington, like most other successful people, developed his skills constantly and was careful not to bite off more than he could chew.
The leadership Wellesley showed in the Peninsular campaign was legendary. He expected the best from his men but was also a harsh disciplinarian. He hanged looters. He valued the help of his Portuguese and Spanish allies too much to allow thieves to alienate them. Yet his troops knew that he never risked their lives in battle without good cause.
After driving the French from the Peninsula, Wellington pushed on into France itself until Napoleon, pressed by Wellington in the south and the Prussian, Russian and Austrian allies in the north, was forced to abdicate in 1814.
Wellington was praised as the hero of Europe, but peace did not last long. In March of 1815, Napoleon escaped from his exile on the island of Elba and once again threatened Europe.
Arthur Wellesley was now made the first Duke of Wellington and marched his troops into Belgium where Napoleon had gathered his army.
At a place called Waterloo the French and British armies met for what was to be the final battle. The allies of the British like the Prussians, Belgians and the Dutch should not be forgotten. They played a large part in the victory.
Wellington, himself, was everywhere on the field of battle encouraging his men and holding them steady against the legendary French army and their great general, Napoleon.
Wellington said of him that his presence on the battle field was worth 40,000 men. The same could have been said of Wellington himself.
Wellington eventually inflicted an overwhelming defeat on Napoleon, but the victory cost a large number of lives. Wellington had become known as the Iron Duke by his men but even he wept when he learned of the numbers of men who had lost their lives on that day.
The British had suffered 15,000 casualties and the French 40,000. Waterloo was to be Wellingtons last battle. He returned to England and resumed a political career begun many years before. He eventually became Prime Minister in 1828.
He was not popular as a politician and once had to fight a duel with one of his political opponents - Lord Winchelsea. However, both men wisely aimed to miss and honour was satisfied!
The Duke was not a man to be dominated or threatened by anyone. Unlike Prince Charles, he was not too worried about his private writings being made public. He made a famous reply to a rejected mistress, who threatened to publish the love-letters he had written to her: Publish and be damned!
Queen Victoria consulted him frequently. She asked his advice about how to deal with sparrows which had nested on the roof of the Crystal Palace. Wellingtons reply was brief and to the point, Sparrow-hawks, Ma,am . He was right. The sparrows were soon gone!
In one of my favourite films Waterloo, the Duke was asked what his plans were in case he was killed. The Duke replied: To beat the French!
He was a man of action and few words although he did in fact plan very carefully and took great care to choose the right ground for his battles. Success demands both action and planning.
Wellington made many mistakes in his life and career but his ability to achieve success shines out above them all. He refused to accept the valuation placed on him by his own mother. He focused all his efforts on his chosen career and mastered the skills necessary to succeed in it.
He used leverage when it was offered. He was not intimidated by the reputation of the French at that time and had the courage and confidence to face up to his military, political and private enemies. He knew how to plan and how to act. He was a great leader who led by example.
As a public figure Wellington remained a respected leader until his death in 1852. He was offered a cup of tea on his deathbed. His polite reply - Yes, if you please - were his last words on earth.
Wellington died at Walmer Castle in Kent in 1852 and was given the honour of a State Funeral. It was a magnificent tribute to a great military hero. The Duke is buried in St. Pauls Cathedral next to another great hero, Lord Nelson.
If you are ever in London, try to visit the Dukes house and the awesome statues to the south east of Hyde Park. I love gazing at these statues. They give a sense of Wellingtons greatness and the courage of his troops.

Darwin dela Calzada and Niño A. Tator, both from CHK, were part of the victorious mens baseball team.
It was the first staging of baseball in the SEA Games.

ACESS has been conducting international conferences on exercise and sports science since 2001.
In the same year CHK initiated the Scientific Congress as a venue to disseminate researches on sports science of local professionals and eventually, to publish works in a journal.
The year 2005 being the International Year of Sport and Physical Education, UP and ACESS joined hands in gathering international scholars and professionals in the various areas of sports science and physical education for the dissemination of interdisciplinary research findings on recent developments in the field from all over the world.

To be totally honest, most of the time my head is filled with tormenting thoughts of death..my death, your death. And who is next because it surrounds me. ..death has taught me so much about myself and life, and has also left me dumbfounded and devastated, curious, broken and confused and terrified. How could so many people go in such a short time? ..its okay I can admit Iapos;m afraid of dying.. But no matter what I say on here, ..no matter how deep I go or how much I open up about how scared I am, I know that he wonapos;t be reading it, or trying to make me feel better.. If only a moment I donapos;t think of his death, then only a split second later its kicking me in the chest screaming at me this reality. ..whatever. He always knew just what to say and how to say it.. To make me feel better about anything..I miss him. When he visited my dream the one and only time so far, I was so petrified of all the tornadoes chasing us that I missed out on what he had to say. And I may never see him again. I will wait my entire life time for the dead to come alive.. Cause I know they wonapos;t be there when I die ..At least I know when I go Iapos;ve left many impressions. I know I made my mark on this earth.. It took losing my grandparents and losing many friends, losing my family to realize how important the important ones really are.. I learned what it was like to suffer without someone you thought would always be there. Truly I believe it all happens for a reason..
I thought Iapos;d be in a different place in my life right now. I thought it was all figured out.. I was devastated when I knew my plans for my life weapos;re failing miserably and there was nothing I could do. It was hard.. But you know, sometimes you have to close your eyes, stop the world around you and give yourself a minute to think.. To figure it out, to calm down, to accept life.. To find what you are after... I realized you have to take a step back in life and understand somethings before you can ever move forward.. But I couldnapos;t be happier with how things are turning out.. I will always fight for what I believe in and what I want.. I will always feel things as deep as I can.. And if I think youapos;re wrong, Iapos;ll tell you. If I think you shouldnt leave I will stop you. Love is the most powerful thing to me and I will never let anyone ruin that. There is so much ahead of me I canapos;t destroy. I have to stay strong.. I have to keep my head above the water. I canapos;t believe how easy life became when I started to accept the shit I couldnapos;t change. No matter how many times my world will shake and my heart will break... I know Iapos;ll be ok. Itapos;s the time in between now, and when Iapos;ll be ok that I fear..

nice Americana (it was the first American food we had had the whole time) and exercised our drinking rights one last time with some nice daquiris. Yum.
So we headed to our flight, hopped on, and settled in for the flight. This is where it gets interesting.
So about halfway through the flight, I start to feel a bit chilly. I figured it was the air vent from the seat in front of me, so I tried to bundle up and sleep, but it wouldnapos;t work. As the flight came to an end, I started to feel even worse. Slight stomachache, a bit woozy, more chills...something was up.
We got off the plane, and I knew something was wrong. I figured it was just some air nausea (although I never get sick on flights), but it felt like more than that. The farther I walked through the terminal, the worse it got. As I walked farther, I started to get these intense stomach cramps that felt like a dozen knives twisting and turning in my gut. In other words, it sucked hardcore.
So we get down to Customs, and everyone is far ahead of me. I make it through Immigration, hardly able to stand up, sweating a lot, and feeling like Iapos;m about to pass out. The guy at the desk looks at my Passport, then proceeds to have this brief exchange with me.
Guy: "So, how was your flight?"
Me (Obviously in pain): "Uh...good..."
Guy: "You feeling okay? Are you nauseous?"
Me (Rubbing face, nearly panting): "No...and yes...not so good."
Guy (Stamps my Passport): "Well, Welcome to the U.S."
Welcome home, indeed.
So right after I walk away from the desk, I see Jess waiting for me and looking super concerned. As I walk up, my gag reflex goes into overtime, and I nearly throw up right in the middle of Customs. She gets this super shocked look on her face (I donapos;t blame her), I throw my bags down, and say "Whereapos;s the bathroom?"
I speed walk there, the slight breeze from my brisk pace actually feeling nice, and, of course, the line is atrocious. I nearly pass out. When I made my way out, I couldnapos;t stand anymore. I hunkered down on a nearby bench and just start writhing. My friends, gosh, they must have been freaked, but they were angels to stay there with me. They fetched someone nearby and got a wheelchair for me. So I get on in and the guy speeds me over to the Public Health office, where they proceed to tell me that all they can do for me is give me a bed to lie down on and take my temperature. Nice.
So I continue to writhe, trying not to cry because (in my best "my mom is a nurse, let me try to reason like her" mindest) I knew that crying would cause post-nasal drip, thus going to my stomach and making it hurt more (Gosh, I should be a nurse), then thinking "What the hell, I feel like Iapos;m dying, and all I can do is find reasons NOT to cry?", so I then proceeded to bawl eyes out. It hurt more than I could describe, and it scared the hell out of me because I had NO idea what was going on.
The "nurse" finally asked me if I needed an ambulance. Knowing how expensive they are (despite health insurance, I canapos;t help it--my momapos;s a nurse, like I said, and Iapos;ve been raised not to make a big deal out of little health issues...but this was NO little health issue), I didnapos;t want to, but I finally gave in. It hurt too badly.
So finally the paramedics came, these cute, crazy, older former Chicago firemen, and they wheeled me out on the gurney. In my immense pain, I got some weird gratification about the whole thing. Iapos;d always wondered what it was like to be wheeled out on a gurney and taken in an ambulance. Just curious, I guess.
And then--BOOM Doors fly open and I look around me. AIRPLANES They had seriously pulled through the tarmac and were going to speed away with me in the back, amidst the planes and whatnot. Oh gosh, it felt like a movie. I felt so important (haha)
So they hook me up to the IV and put the mask on my face, and it was so surreal. We finally arrive, and they admit me to the ER...and not long after, the pain subsides. No kidding. That WOULD happen, right? As soon as I get to the place that can help me out, I feel better. Such is life, I guess.
I fall asleep for a bit, and then Jess arrives with her parents. Gosh, I felt so bad to put them through all of that, but they were dolls for putting up with me. After a short stint, they let me go, and we headed to Oapos;Hare again. Why? One of my bags was "lost," of course. Or, so we thought.
I slept through most of this next part on a bench in the airport, but we were under the impression that my bag was stuck in Customs (Jess had retrieved one of them, and it bypassed Customs by going with me in the ambulance...nice) because of the hullabaloo. The people at the airport were no help, and after a long time, we finally headed home, unsure of where my bag was.
It was such a weird night, and half of it was a blur. I couldnapos;t believe how my trip ended, but it didnapos;t spoil my trip at all. AT ALL. Nothing could ruin the time I had.
We woke up bright and early the next day after a wonderful nightapos;s sleep and headed back to Oapos;Hare for my flight to Cleveland. I waited around for a bit and got kind of sad. This was the last leg of my amazing trip. It was nearly over.
Although I love Ohio, flying back to it is never that exciting. I loved seeing my mom, but man...London? You canapos;t really beat it, you know? I just wanted to go back, right away.
We got word on my bag, though. Stuck in London. FIgures, right? Luckily it was returned a week later. Thank God, too. It had all my special souvenirs from the trip, including my Euro clothes. GAH
So, now as I reflect nearly a month and a half later, I want to cry.
I want to cry because I miss London so much. It became such a big part of me in such a short amount of time, and I love it SO much. I want to go back as soon as possible. I want to live there for a while. I just need to see it again.
I want to cry because I had the time of my life there, and I wish I could have that back. Ohio is dull in comparison, plain and simple, and I felt so alive over there. Cheesy? Maybe, but itapos;s true. Spending nearly a month on my own in a foreign place, exploring an environment completely new and exciting...gosh, itapos;s one of those experiences you canapos;t replace.
I want to cry because I miss the friends I made there. Not just London people, but my Beatles buds. We bonded over London, over our immense love for a band thatapos;s changed our lives. I canapos;t explain that to other people, but they know what I mean. The times we had over there are some of the best Iapos;ve ever had, and I feel so close to them and I miss them dearly.
I want to cry because I feel like a part of me is missing and that it wonapos;t be whole until Iapos;m there again. Iapos;m not kidding, either. Iapos;ve dreamed of London since I was 6. Iapos;ve wanted to go there, live there, BE there for so long, and to have it for such a short amount of time and have it taken away again man, as lucky as I was to go, it almost seems unfair to have something so wonderful be put in front of me and then be gone the next minute.
I want to cry, too, because of how lucky I was to go. Iapos;m so HAPPY that I was able to spend so much time there, learn so much there, LIVE so much there. It was the best time of my life, hands down, and I feel privileged to have seen the places Iapos;ve seen, learned the things Iapos;ve learned, and met the people I met there.
Oh, London. Oh, Liverpool. I love you a lot, and I hope to make it back someday soon.
And I love the Beatles, too. More than ever.

Newly obtained court documents show there was ample evidence a former San Jose police officer was drunk when she crashed her SUV in March, but police chose not to question her about alcohol use or test her blood.
Soon after Sandra Woodalls March 25 multi-car accident, she told paramedics that she was just out of rehab, had consumed a lot of alcohol and was so disoriented that she thought it was 2006, according to documents. Both of the paramedics who treated Woodall noted the strong smell of alcohol on her breath.
Sgt. Will Manion - a well-regarded senior officer who was the police supervisor on the scene - noted none of these things. Instead, Manion seemed to EMTs to be coaching Woodall on the correct way to answer their questions. He later tried to prevent them from taking her to a hospital, an EMT alleged. Manion insisted that he had no evidence she was drunk, and was trying to determine whether she could be forced to go to the hospital against her will.
But instead of exploring the possibility that Woodall was intoxicated, officers at the scene concluded that the speeding accident could have been caused because Woodall was eating egg rolls from Jack in the Box while she was driving. They decided not even to cite her for speeding - an unusual conclusion in so dramatic an accident.

Playing pool is cool and this may be the reason why many people all over the world love this game. From the United States to Europe, pool players like to compete with each other to determine the best among themselves. In fact, every year, billiards and pool tournaments are held and the winner gets to win a huge sum of money. It is very important to be an experienced and well-known pool player because you may have the chance to be inducted in the Hall of Fame; and this is just the dream of every serious pool player.
But before anything else, you have to know the different pool or billiard equipment. Basically when you play pool, you will need a pool table, cue stick, cue ball, and object balls (colored balls). There are those who play in pool halls or in public play rooms together with their friends because these places provide the pool equipments but it is always best to bring your own stick and cue ball.
Did you know that purchasing pool equipments is a good investment? However, there are some things to consider like the space in your homes and the budget. You see, pool equipments can get really expensive especially if you're after quality and good performance. But there are also less expensive ones that can fit any budget. And of course, you should have a room in your house that will serve as the playroom. If you want, you can keep the current room decor so you need to choose a pool table that will compliment the decorations of the said room. You will also need to purchase the other pool equipments like balls, cue stick and ball.
What is a pool table? It is where you play the various pool games. It has six pockets and it is available in different sizes. The smallest size for the pool table is 7ft and the biggest is 9ft. Make sure that you choose the right size for your game room.
You must also have a wooden stick or a cue to hit the cue ball. You have to choose a stick that you're comfortable with so that you can practice your playing stance.
Aside from that, you should also purchase a cue ball (white) and fifteen other colored balls. The balls are available in sets and you can choose their designs as well.
These are the main pool equipment that you will need to start playing pool. You can also get other accessories if you like.

Walter Tevis was a good ol' Madison County boy who served in World War II at a young age, attended Model High School (now Model Laboratory School) in Richmond, and went on to college at the University of Kentucky. His two biggest passions were playing pool and writing, and he somehow managed to juggle the two well enough to earn his Masters degree. Tevis spent a great deal of time in the smoky, dirty pool rooms of Richmond, even after becoming a schoolteacher in small towns like Science Hill, Irvine, and Carlisle. Later, he went on to become a professor at UK, and then Ohio University. His pool shark's life of drinking and smoking caught up with him in the end, however, and in his final years he battled alcoholism and lung cancer. He died in New York in 1984.
Oh, and he also just happened to be the author of three blockbuster novels: The Hustler, The Color of Money, and the Science Fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, all three of which were also made into equally blockbuster Hollywood films.
The nationwide pool craze created by Tevis with his book The Hustler and the subsequent movie version single-handedly revolutionized the billiards industry, making it what it is today and giving it enormous new popularity and respectability.
For what it's worth, Tevis also inadvertently gave the world "Minnesota Fats", AKA Rudolph Wanderone Jr., the world famous pool player who achieved fame by appropriating the name of a character in The Hustler and claiming that Tevis (whom he had never met) had based the book on him! Tevis denied this and called Wanderone a fraud, stating, "I made up Minnesota Fats just as Walt Disney made up Donald Duck."
Tevis is buried in the Richmond Cemetery in Madison County, not far from where the last of the great old Richmond pool halls - Taylor's Billiards - still existed up until just last month.

Citizen Kane
1941 / Unrated (PG) / 1 hr., 59 min.
It has survived over six decades of competition to remain the touchstone of American cinema, perhaps even world cinema. It holds first place on the American Film Institutes One Hundred Greatest Films of all time. It has generated multiple books about its creation, distribution, and the resulting furor. It is dissected annually by Roger Ebert at film festivals. It is a staple of college film courses. One wonders if there is any reason to add yet another review to the pile of literature surrounding Citizen Kane.
Ive decided to engage in this potential futility as a feeble attempt to counter the growing sentiment that Citizen Kane is uninteresting. While I am tempted to blame this on the younger generation, I am also reminded that the last person to call the film "boring" in my hearing was a forty-something math teacher. So many years have elapsed since the films creation, and we have been so barraged with an escalating glut of movies in recent years, that laudatory remarks for the film are increasingly relegated to film critics, film students, and industry insiders. The rest see merely a tired old monochromatic drama and find themselves stifling yawns.
I was once part of the crowd that considered Citizen Kane a dull experience. I made the mistake of viewing the film for the first time when I was barely twelve or thirteen, renting it simply because I was aware that every budding film-maker was supposed to admire it. And I was bored. I couldnt understand half of what I had just seen, nor any of what made the film great.
Then I saw it again in my early 20's, not just more informed about film production, but also more mature in my outlook on life. And suddenly the film was irresistibly gripping, in both its cinematic technique and its philosophical import. If your first impression of Citizen Kane was lackluster, or if you have yet to bother watching it, please read on for just a small dose of what makes this movie a fascinating study.
Following the classic format of world literatures greatest tragedies, Citizen Kane explores how a characters flaws lead him ever deeper into an inescapable despair. The flaw in this case is complete selfishness, catalyzed by a loveless childhood. And the character being explored is Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles).
The film opens with Kane alone in a dimly lit bedroom within an expansive estate. He lies in bed, clutching a snow globe. He utters one word: "Rosebud". And then he dies.
Why a man who rose to tremendous heights of fame and fortune in his life would die so alone, with such an enigmatic final word, is the subject of a newspapers investigation. Reporter Jerry Thompson (William Alland) interviews several people who were central to Kanes life in the hopes of discovering who or what "Rosebud" was, and as each person responds to the reporters questions, we flash back to the relevant moments in Kanes life.
Kanes history begins with his childhood at his parents boarding home in Colorado. The conversation is somewhat elusive, but from what I can gather, Kane stands to inherit a sizeable fortune from some stocks that his mother received as payment from a boarder. In an effort to keep the boys legacy out of the hands of her husband, Mrs. Kane (Agnes Moorehead) signs her son over to the care of Walter Parks Thatcher (George Coulouris), a banker. In effect, Kane is adopted by a corporation.
Kane spends his years as a minor in Thatchers care. Lacking parental guidance and nurture, he is a wild and prodigal youth. Physical adulthood fails to lead to mature character, and Kane becomes merely a grown-up version of his intemperate adolescence. He freely squanders his inheritance on whatever comes to mind, including the purchase of a newspaper, which he commandeers to print whatever he desires, including stories that may or may not be entirely true.
In line with his impetuous personality, Kane marries twice, first to Emily (Ruth Warrick), a woman who would have made a wonderful wife and mother if Kane had taken the time to notice. As his marriage begins to bore him, Kane turns to Susan (Dorothy Comingore), a pretty young thing he passes one day, and the affair leads to divorce and the second marriage. But this marriage collapses also, because although Kane dotes upon Susan to no end, paying for her operatic career and even building the marvelous Xanadu estate just for her, Susan wants real affection, something Kane does not understand or know how to give.
It is Kanes desire to receive and give love or what he thinks is love that leads to the alienation of just about everyone who would befriend him. Lifelong companions desert him, his newspaper empire falters, and his political campaign dissolves in the wake of his scandalous activities. In the end, he spends his last days alone in a palatial estate that has nothing to offer him but the echoes of his footsteps.
And so we now must answer the central question foundational to this reviews purpose: Why is this film held in such high esteem? Without re-writing all the books that have covered this question, let me put forth some brief thoughts. These will perhaps not be in the same order others would propose, but I have my reasons.
First, and perhaps the reason with the least impact, is its notoriety. Though Orson Welles never admitted it out loud, it was obvious that he was presenting a thinly disguised and highly scathing biography of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. It is not a scene-by-scene parallel, but the comparisons between Kane and Hearst are too numerous to be coincidence, and Hearst knew it. He did everything in his power to ruin Welles and prevent the films release, but even his vast fortune and leverage could not stop it from reaching the public.
While that history is interesting, I assign it the lowest significance because Hollywood is regularly churning out films that anger people. If Citizen Kane had had nothing else in its favor, the publicity inadvertently afforded it by Hearst would not have been enough to sustain its power up to the present day.
Second, and decidedly more amazing, is the fact that this was Orson Welles first film. Given the tremendous artistic skill that even some of the worst directors must possess to get a film finished, Citizen Kane represents an astounding achievement for someone whose previous experience had been entirely in radio and theater, and who was only in his 20's when he began production on the film.
Third, Citizen Kane represents great leaps forward in cinematic creativity. Much of this is likely because of Welles inexperience: He was not bound to the conventions of contemporary cinema because he had never been trained in them, so he did things that went thoroughly against the grain. Perhaps the most frequent defiance of convention is the films numerous long takes with deep focus. Were getting into film jargon, so let me explain.
A standard film lens focuses on one particular distance, while everything else falls out of focus to varying degrees. But a deep-focus lens, together with appropriate lighting, will keep everything on screen in focus, from the closest to the furthest objects. The films cinematographer, Gregg Toland, was a pioneer of these lens and the subtle effects they could create.
Then there are the long takes, or shots. A fairly standard pattern for any basic conversation scene is to start with a shot that lets us see where everyone is standing, and then as the scene progresses, we cut to closer shots of the individuals in turn as they speak or react. Citizen Kane ignores this and is packed with shots that do not cut for sometimes over a minute, keeping all the major characters on screen. Welles experience as a stage director no doubt gave him great training in staging these shots, guiding the actors so that they would move, speak, hold still, and look at all the right times to let us viewers know where our attention should be.
Despite Welles lack of cinematic background, he was a prodigy on the radio, and it was his experience and philosophy of excellence that guided many of his innovations. This was the man who so successfully imitated emergency news broadcasts in performing War of the Worlds that he caused real panic among listeners. In the same way, the opening news reel in Citizen Kane is crafted to mimic the style and idiosyncracies of actual news reels that would play in theaters before the feature. The film was deliberately scratched, dragged across the floor, run through sandbags, and otherwise abused so that it would look like real clips spanning the many years of Kanes life. I remember watching this movie for the first time and being confused because here was all this "authentic" news footage of a man I was certain was fictional. Im fairly sure Welles would have felt satisfaction on hearing that.
No single reason supports the films status by itself, but my fourth reason holds the most weight in my opinion: Its a powerful movie! Certainly it is old, and we have made vast improvements in film stock, sound recording, editing, and all the other technical aspects of production. But Citizen Kane rises above its archaic facets with a strong story told well.
In the same way we suffer as we watch Hamlet lose himself to his vengeful obsession, or feel horror creep over us as we realize the heinous crimes Oedipus the King has unknowingly committed, we watch with sadness as Kane blindly sinks because of his own selfish choices. He buys a newspaper because it feeds his ego, he marries Susan because it makes him feel good, he lavishes gifts upon her because he wants to feel loved. Kane is a man who never learns to shed childhood impulse; he is the classic Me, Me, Me, from beginning to end, even when he sincerely believes that he is doing things for other people. Deprived of love in his youth, he craves it desperately; but he never comes to the realization that true love is not focused inwardly at all, but outwardly.
Perhaps a few lines by Jed Leland (Joseph Cotten) summarize it best: "You dont care about anything except you. You just want to persuade people that you love em so much that they ought to love you back. Only you want love on your own terms. Its something to be played your way according to your rules." By the time Kane accepts this (if he ever really does), it is too late.
This tragedy is expertly played out by Welles and his cast, most of whom were part of his radio troupe and joined him on the silver screen for the first time. Joseph Cotten (Shadow of a Doubt) plays Welles school buddy Leland, who slowly becomes disenchanted with his friend as Kane shifts from a Socialist idealist to, well, an arrogant ass. In one scene, showgirls perform a song that Kane wrote for his own glory, and while Leland goes through the motions of clapping along, Cotten brings a look to Lelands eyes that reveal his growing doubts.
Dorothy Comingore gives one of the stronger performances in the film as Susan Alexander, the young girl Kane falls for when his marriage is in the doldrums. As almost a companion to Kanes character arc, Susan goes from young and idealistic to older, wiser, and downtrodden. Comingores cinema history is less than noteworthy, which is surprising given her full range of character delivered here. Apparently Welles saw more in her than studio executives did.
The entire cast is impeccable, with Everett Sloane and George Coulouris giving the performances that stick most in my mind. However, I find Agnes Mooreheads performance strangely wooden; and while I can only assume Welles wanted it that way, it adds a layer of surrealism to her scene that makes the bizarre event of a woman signing away her son to a banker even more unfathomable.
Im not going to delve into the technical arts of the film any more than I already have. Let it suffice to say that everything in the film, from the lighting to the editing to the music score, is a product of that fertile creativity Welles brought to Hollywood. Innovations abound, many we are not even aware of when watching.
If youve tried Citizen Kane and gave up or dismissed it, or if youve never even bothered because it was just "some old movie," let me encourage you to try it again with these ideas in mind. Check out some books on Welles journey in making the film. Or, if your reading time is slim, find the DVD edition that features Roger Eberts commentary. Within a compact two hours, Ebert brings up some interesting anecdotes about the making of the film, and points out many of the tricks and techniques that Welles and Toland invented.
And then back up, close out all other distractions, and really watch it for what it has to say about humanity, particularly the difference between love and selfishness. In my opinion, this more than anything is what gives the film its richness and longevity. As long as we remain a race of self-absorbed beings, the warnings from Kanes tragic plight will be potent and poignant.

"Paul Addis early burning of the corporate logo of the Burning Man event last year was the single most pure act of radical self expression to occur at this massive hipster tail-gate party in over a decade. The extraordinary publicity that this singular act focused on the event had to be good for, at a bare minimum, 1-2 hundred last minute ticket sales at the highest rate of (correct me if Im wrong) maybe $280.00 or $300.00 a pop.
That would work out to a bare minimum of $30,000.00. Not to mention the residual benefit over the course of succeeding years that that type of high profile exposure provides for the bottom line of a corporation engaged in the pursuit of long term branding opportunities and ticket sales.
$30,000.00 is the amount of receipts that Will Rodgers, as representative of Black Rock City LLC presented to the Federal Court as total damages incurred by Addis action. Id say that, on the balance, the BMorg benefited financially from Addis action as opposed to being financially damaged.
The irony of Will Rogers being the corporate officer (one of six that own the event) that was saddled with the onerous task of administering the wrath of BMorg onto the hapless prankster Addis is deep and cutting indeed to anyone who is familiar with Rogers history and disposition in dealing with his duties as operations manager for the event for over a decade now. Addis is in jail, Rogers is not. Its a strange world, indeed.
Paul Addis prank, when symbolically infused into the collective self image of the BM is as mythic an action and as profound an image (relative to persons who might care) as Stephen Colberts roasting of George Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner some time back. Colberts incredibly ballsy action will be lauded for decades to come. He directly challenged and (with humor) berated the most powerful man in the world (sic.) No one in the Bush White House had him arrested or assassinated even though his verbal attacks could be interpreted as extremely insulting even slanderous. Similarly, as long as there is a spark of originality, passion and true creativity in Burning Man, those who adhere to these precepts - precepts that originally fueled the event, these people will discuss and ponder the import of the epic action that Pauls inner voices compelled him to make. Nonetheless, Paul, unlike Colbert will be serving hard time for making fun of a powerful image.
BMorg faced a profound choice when dealing with the fall out of Addis seemingly deranged action. They could have understood and capitalized on the PR value by simply, graciously accepting what happened and then making the best of it. They could have been (or claimed to be) compassionate. It might have looked something like this: send Harley or M2, (not the compromised Rogers) to court with receipts for less than $5000.00 and a request for community service for the offender Addis. He was (and is after all) one of the events children. The Feds would have prosecuted and convicted Addis of a MISDEMEANOR arson charge (under 5K is not a felony.) Paul would have been punished appropriately for his transgression - time served, probably and his friends would have thrown a fund raiser to pay it off; future potential transgressors would have been dissuaded from similar high jinx and all would be well in the kingdom.
As you all know, this is NOT what happened. Pity.
An essentially decent (tho undeniably off balance) young mans life and his potential career have been crushed to pay the debt of anger and retribution of a vengeful corporation. He was made an example of in order to insure that NO ONE would ever challenge or desecrate the empty symbol (Oh.. excuse me, the brand trademark) of a corporation that could have been so much more.
Some have brought up the point that the decision whether or not to prosecute an arson case lies with the DA (or in this case the Federal Prosecutor.) Just to be crystal clear here - this is technically correct. However any prosecutor who does not have the tacit support of the aggrieved party in such a case (vandalism, property damage, etc.) will think very hard before dedicating his/her offices limited resources to a case that very likely will not culminate in a conviction. Make no mistake - Black Rock City LLC knew very well that if they declared their financial loss for the early immolation of their corporate logo to be less than $5000.00, the best conviction the prosecutor could have hoped for would have been a misdemeanor rap culminating in a much more appropriate finale for all parties. Any decent group of people that were part of a would have acted with circumspection and compassion in this case.
Now, I would like to commend Chicken John for his passionate arguments regarding this issue and address some misapprehensions and misinterpretations put forward by various individuals in the responses posted on this blog.
Ive heard so many people who became involved in BM in its later years excoriate Chicken and other old timers for sour grapes or living in the past, or simply being stick in the mud types unable or unwilling to allow the newcomers their right to simply enjoy their participation in the event without a lecture about how cool it used to be and how watered down it is now.
I believe that any misunderstanding here is simply one of definition. So, lets define what Burning Man is and what it was. Also, lets put the event into the larger context of the and culture scene of the Bay Area and beyond.
Now, Burning Man (legally speaking, Black Rock City LLC) is a for profit corporation controlled by six people (Marian Goodell, Harley Bierman, Michael Mikel, Larry Harvey, Will Roger Peterson and Crimsom Rose) that generates in excess of 12 million dollars annually for producing a one week event. Much of the labor to produce this event is volunteer or compensated at well below market value for comparable work on comparable events (Oregon County Faire, Coachella, etc.) Burning Man (like Montsanto, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Intel Corp) has embraced themes to validate its corporate mission statement and counter balance its corporate on the environment as well as to assuage the conscience and expectations of its target market (you.)
Burning Man (like Starbucks, Apple Computer and Nike) provides a superior product that generates intense consumer adherence and loyalty.
Burning Man (like The Body Shop, Esprit and Ben Jerrys) derives a great deal of its consumer adherence from its very successful PR campaign equating the corporation and its goals with specific ideals. Powerful ideological constructs that connect the consumers with an idealized vision of what the brand can mean as it exerts its sway on the larger world is also crucial to the corporations marketing campaign.
People go to the playa. They spend whatever it takes to be prepared for their individualized experience. They proselytize their friends and acquaintances to join them in their odyssey. They return again and again, adhering to the social order and cultural precepts that preconceived notions of the event and group peer conceptualization demand.
If theyre lucky, they are part of a crew primarily driven by the collective desire and motivation to create singular or experience at the event - either underwritten by the BMorg (with not that much more butt kissing than might be expected from the average arts funding council) or self-financed. All in all the, consumer experience is a very good one and more than worth the cost of admission to a majority of the consumers.
So, as you see, you get what you pay for. In my mind, with the current BM set-up, you probably get your moneys worth.
What BM was:
A radically inspired and thoroughly experimental event created and organized by a loose cabal of nearly penniless artists and pranksters. During the early years of the event in the Black Rock Desert anyone could do anything they wished. The cops came and left soon thereafter because the was not interfering with the property rights of powerful interests. In case you didnt know, the primary job of law enforcement in the USofA is to protect property. Thats much of the reason that I have never had a problem with cops: theyre merely working class guys with a good job. They didnt fuck with us because we chose to put the event as far away from civilization and commerce as humanly possible. Later as the event grew in commercial stature and the various governmental entities saw it for what it was becoming - a cash cow (BM provides most of the operating budget for the Winnemucca office of the BLM and buys various law enforcement agencies a lotta cool toys - helicopters, RV command centers, etc.) It was a trade off that organizations greater and lesser have made as well over the years. Had BM stuck to its original heart and inspiration it would probably have been snuffed out long ago. So it became something that could survive and thrive: a corporation that sells a lifestyle to a target market based on an original theme and spirit that resonates to this day with a tiny portion of the initial essence that drove the bus and forged the myth.
What many newcomers dont realize is that BM isnt a in and of itself; it is merely the most visible and commercial exponent of an actual movement that is much more amorphous and indefinable than a business that sells a lifestyle. BM grew out of a vibrant and completely anarchic underground scene in San Francisco (and other cities across the continent) that has continued to mutate and grow to this day. Artists and pranksters that meet and collaborate through BM move on to form alliances that are of value in order to experiment and create long after their last trip to the Playa. This is the same as it was when I showed up in Frisco at age 17 in 1976 and was immediately sucked into the swirling vortex that was to be my home for the next 32 years. Chicken John and other concerned parties are simply lamenting the fact that an event of such power and purity has inevitably devolved into a commercial endeavor that packages and sells (very nicely and effectively, I must say) a replication of that original spirit of such undeniable value. The heart and soul that birthed BM exists now apart from this commercial entity as they always have. The simple fact that that BM has chosen, essentially to sacrifice one of its own members in order to retain some semblance of owning and controlling that singular spirit is a sure bet that the magic is gone, replaced by a commercial simulacrum of that spirit.
Weighing all accounts of the early burn event that Paul enacted and, delving into my own not small experience (professional rigger, former operations manager for BM) as well as my personal knowledge of Paul Addis as a troubled but pure and sincere soul, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that no one was physically threatened by his masterful prank. Consequently, I am forced to conclude that
CLLC/BM acted egregiously and erroneously by not interceding with the authorities in order to mitigate Pauls punishment for what was in effect a gift to them and their event. Paul Addis is paying the price for speaking truth to power.

"Paul Addis early burning of the corporate logo of the Burning Man event last year was the single most pure act of radical self expression to occur at this massive hipster tail-gate party in over a decade. The extraordinary publicity that this singular act focused on the event had to be good for, at a bare minimum, 1-2 hundred last minute ticket sales at the highest rate of (correct me if Im wrong) maybe $280.00 or $300.00 a pop.
That would work out to a bare minimum of $30,000.00. Not to mention the residual benefit over the course of succeeding years that that type of high profile exposure provides for the bottom line of a corporation engaged in the pursuit of long term branding opportunities and ticket sales.
$30,000.00 is the amount of receipts that Will Rodgers, as representative of Black Rock City LLC presented to the Federal Court as total damages incurred by Addis action. Id say that, on the balance, the BMorg benefited financially from Addis action as opposed to being financially damaged.
The irony of Will Rogers being the corporate officer (one of six that own the event) that was saddled with the onerous task of administering the wrath of BMorg onto the hapless prankster Addis is deep and cutting indeed to anyone who is familiar with Rogers history and disposition in dealing with his duties as operations manager for the event for over a decade now. Addis is in jail, Rogers is not. Its a strange world, indeed.
Paul Addis prank, when symbolically infused into the collective self image of the BM is as mythic an action and as profound an image (relative to persons who might care) as Stephen Colberts roasting of George Bush at the White House Correspondents Dinner some time back. Colberts incredibly ballsy action will be lauded for decades to come. He directly challenged and (with humor) berated the most powerful man in the world (sic.) No one in the Bush White House had him arrested or assassinated even though his verbal attacks could be interpreted as extremely insulting even slanderous. Similarly, as long as there is a spark of originality, passion and true creativity in Burning Man, those who adhere to these precepts - precepts that originally fueled the event, these people will discuss and ponder the import of the epic action that Pauls inner voices compelled him to make. Nonetheless, Paul, unlike Colbert will be serving hard time for making fun of a powerful image.
BMorg faced a profound choice when dealing with the fall out of Addis seemingly deranged action. They could have understood and capitalized on the PR value by simply, graciously accepting what happened and then making the best of it. They could have been (or claimed to be) compassionate. It might have looked something like this: send Harley or M2, (not the compromised Rogers) to court with receipts for less than $5000.00 and a request for community service for the offender Addis. He was (and is after all) one of the events children. The Feds would have prosecuted and convicted Addis of a MISDEMEANOR arson charge (under 5K is not a felony.) Paul would have been punished appropriately for his transgression - time served, probably and his friends would have thrown a fund raiser to pay it off; future potential transgressors would have been dissuaded from similar high jinx and all would be well in the kingdom.
