http://civact6.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://civact6.tigblog.org/post/1449823 G'Day All --

Just like the holiday decorations in many communities, our greeting looks the same as last year's -- but all of the links have been updated to offer you a "banquet of goodies."

http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/TIGHolidayGreeting.htm

You will find some new film clips (and some old favorites too !!) in the Kilroy's Kaleidoscope section, about two-thirds down the page.  Sample one or two each day for the next week or so, and you'll be "in the spirit" in time for the Main Event !!

Among them, don't miss:

The Little Match Girl

and

Peace on Earth

Also, be sure to visit and enjoy the *new* LibriVox Christmas Jamboree section at the bottom of the page.

Happy Thanksgiving !! from The Civic Action Free University:

Hope you enjoy it.

(Notes:nbsp; Fussy people may ask what the Andre Rieu concert clips have to do with Thanksgiving.nbsp; My answer:nbsp; Try watching them, and then tell me if you really think they should be taken out.nbsp; Also, the Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving clips may be gone from YouTube soon -- so if you enjoy them, give a look while they are still available.)

Item 1:nbsp; Happy OktoberFest !!

Oh Dear !!nbsp; OktoberFest kind of snuck up on me this year -- particularly since the Germans now celebrate the occasion in September for the sake of better weather.

So here's an updated copy of our last year's OktoberFest Greeting, including most of the same lively music clips, i.e.:nbsp; "Celebrating the Twelve Kegs of OktoberFest," midway down the page:

Can local civic action and community development programs benefit from establishing communication -- and various kinds of active collaboration -- with similar organizations that are operating in other countries ??

Since it was first established, The Civic Action Free University (TCAFU) has encouraged initiatives of this sort.nbsp; But its internationally-oriented components have been distributed throughout the TCAFU web site in ways that may have made it difficult for visitors to see their potential connections.

As an experiment to remedy this problem, a new page is being assembled that attempts to draw most of TCAFU's internationally relevant materials together in one convenient location.

If you are already acquainted with TCAFU's web site, most contents of the new page will be familiar -- but the hope is that you will now find them to be substantially more convenient to use as a result of being consolidated.

You are cordially invited to review the "first draft" of this effort, and to rate it from the standpoint of user friendliness and and practical value:

Some Civic Action Options for International Impact
http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/yourturf4/internatimpactoptions.html

Your considered opinions and critiques -- constructive, hopefully -- will be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your participation !!

Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival continues to grow, with several entertaining additions.

Included among the nine Newest Arrivals is (IMHO) one of the most hilarious productions of all time, "The Horse's Mouth," about an eccentric old artist named Gully Jimson, who lives on a decrepit houseboat on the Thames River in London, starring Alec Guinness.

http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/KilroysFilmFest.htm

I've received a few admonitions from folks who insist that anyone "seriously interested" in watching any of these films would buy the DVDs and view them on their big-screen televisions.nbsp; My reply is, "By all means, do so."

On the other hand, the Film Festival web page has received several thousand hits, so it seems to interest some folks -- even if only for purposes of sampling the "merchandise" before acquiring the DVDs.

Enjoy the on-line material whenever it suits your convenience, and forward the site to any of your friends who might like to do the same.

Remember -- whether you watch on-line, or on a TV screen in your house, you are still most welcome to post comments about your favorite films on Kilroy's Movie Buffs' and Film Critics' Forum, that you can access from the link near the bottom of the above web page, or directly at:

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/KilroysMovieBuffsForum/

I hope the above material will be of interest.nbsp; If you have questions or comments, please let me know.

This is a brief follow-up to yesterday's post about Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival.

As you know, the Festival's play list is composed mostly of older movies.nbsp; Very few newer and perhaps more spectacular films are available on-line, due to copyright limitations.nbsp; Nevertheless, hopefully, you will be able to find a few items in the current line-up that are enjoyable to watch.

While surfing through the 'Net, if you come across additional audiovisual presentations that are entertaining, interesting, and/or informative, please send me a note, so they can be considered for inclusion in the play list.

While visiting the Film Festival's site, please don't overlook the additional invitation near the bottom of the page to join Kilroy's Movie Buffs' and Film Critics' Forum.nbsp; If you would enjoy sharing your thoughts and opinions about any of the Film Fest's features (as well as any other movies that have excited your interest), you will be most welcome to do so.

I hope this follow-up information will be useful.nbsp; If you have questions or I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

This year's greeting is introduced by a cute film clip -- (well, anyway, I thought it was cute) -- entitled "Give Up Yer Aul Sins," summarizing the story of Saint Patrick as a Young Boy, as recited by -- (of course) -- Mary:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm

Don't forget to try the Saint Patty's Day Musical Fiesta ("Viva Celtic") Music Station, at:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm#Station

(But please note:nbsp; At this particular time of year, SoundClick's Irish music tracks become so jammed with hits that you may find some of them inaccessible.nbsp; Try again in a few days, and they will probably be working nicely.)

... and sample the additional film clips of Kilroy's Saint Patrick Kaleidoscope:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm#Kegs

Otherwise, you'll see that this year's greeting looks pretty similar last year's.

Hope you enjoy it !!

Without doubt, we can all use a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays
greeting this year !!

Here's our regular version -- (but with updated links, of course):

http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/TIGHolidayGreeting.htm

You'll find a few new film clips in the "Kilroy's Kaleidoscope" section, about two-thirds down the page.nbsp; Sample one or two each day for the next week or so, and you'll be "in the spirit" in time for the Main Event !!

If you enjoy the page, pass it along to others who might have a similar reaction.

Best wishes for the Holidays and the New Year ahead !!

For those who are interested, The Civic Action Free University's National Policy Issues page now has links for the complete collection of Obama Administration Straight Talk Political and Policy Issues that Matter.

Just scroll down the page to the 2nd big orange-colored panel:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/nationalpolicyissues.htm

For purposes of contrast and comparison, the Ralph Nader Straight Talk Political and Policy Issue material is a little farther down the page, on the 3rd orange-colored panel.

Based on user feedback, a very simple (but perhaps significant) change has been made to The Civic Action Free University's web page.

If you would like to have a look, go to the site, at:

http://www.tcafu.net

... and check the newly added:

>>>nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Important Notice for First-Time Visitors nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;<<<

The problem that many new users were having seemed to be caused by the very normal habit of just scrolling down the page, in order to see what's there.nbsp; But, because the page is so extensive, the scrolling process tended to become a confusing and "eye-glazing" experience.

The hope is that the simple -- but quite prominent -- new note at the beginning of the page will encourage new visitors to use the "Site Contents and Instant Access" panel, thereby greatly simplifying familiarization with the page's contents.

But, of course, the effectiveness of this modification will be determined by the "real world" experience reported by site visitors.

If you have any reactions -- pro or con -- please feel free to let me know.
