Thor: The Dark World (2013, Movie)

This is not meant to be a standalone movie, but is another installment of Marvel's juggernaut anthology. The Jane Foster storyline serves as a convenient excuse to shove in an awkward and wholly unnecessary "love story" into the fray, which then receives far more screen time than it merits. The story is gibberish, the bad guy is a cardboard cutout, the special effects look good but really detract from the fantasy setting. 

Heaven Is for Real (2014, Movie)

Colton: "In heaven, everybody is young." "Heaven Is For Real" portrays a true story about Colton Burpo, the four year old pastor's child who has a near death experience; and not only does he believe he's visited heaven - in that innocent wide-eyed wonder of a child - he can describe people and events that apparently prove he was there. The standout performance is by 6-year old Connor Corum in his first movie role...what a delight and marvel this child is to watch! It's being a true story just makes it all the more powerful!

This picture was taken by the city photographer when I was in the Strength Training class sponsored by the City of Arcadia.

See how well I was equipped.

Hercules (2014, Movie)

An enjoyable blockbuster interpretation of Hercules. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was outstanding in the role of Hercules, since he is really muscular and strong like Hercules.

Karma: the manifestation of the confused mind

Sometimes the mind is influenced by ego-clinging or selfishness. Sometimes the mind is influenced by strong anger or aggression and sometimes by strong desire or attachment, pride, or jealousy. 
All of these emotional states cause the mind to create ideas and to perform actions that create what we call a karmic potential, a karmic seed. These karmic seeds are collected in the mind where they continue as habitual tendencies. As these tendencies ripen, as the karma created by confused thought or action comes to full fruition, this produces the experience of an event in our impression of the world around us. This is our karma, the manifestation of the confused mind.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014, Movie)

The film opens with Rogers (Chris Evans) trying to find some sort of life for himself outside of Captain America, largely with the help of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Look for a fine outing from Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce, a corrupt leader within S.H.I.E.L.D....first time I've seen Redford as a villain. The computer generated special effects are as awesome as always.

袁志鍾書法研習社作品展訂於11月1、2日 (星期六，日)兩天，上午11時至下午5時，假洛杉磯華僑文教服務中心展示廳展出。地址：9443 Telstar Ave. El Monte，開幕儀式在1日下午2時舉行。現場有師生揮毫表演，袁老師當場書寫的作品，將作為現場來賓抽獎之用。

袁志鍾書法研習社設於洛杉磯已有22年，宗旨是聚集書法愛好者切磋書藝，提昇書法藝術涵養，宏揚中華文化。此次展覽集結了60位學員們的佳作，展示篆、棣、楷、行、草等各種書體。2012年該研習社應台灣僑委會和國父紀念館之邀，在該館翠溪藝廊舉辦大型書法展。歷時二周的展覽，深受臺灣書法同道的好評。

袁志鍾書法研習社舉辦師生書法作品聯展

【環球通訊社記者李碩洛杉磯報導】已有22年歷史的袁志鍾書法研習社，11月1日下午兩點于艾蒙地市僑教中心舉辦師生書法作品聯展開幕儀式。書法大師袁志鍾攜近60位學員共為南加民眾及書法愛好者帶來近百幅作品。展覽現場安排有師生揮毫表演，袁志鍾當場書寫的作品，也全部作為來賓抽奬獎品予以贈送。

       駐洛經文處洛僑中心主任翁桂堂、僑務委員高啟正、阿凱迪亞市市議員戴守真、聖馬力諾市議員孫國泰、美國中華藝術學會會長宋大勇等出席會議並致辭祝賀展覽開幕。 

       翁桂堂表示，非常歡迎各界藝術家來到僑教中心舉辦展覽，將這裡變成大家一個藝術交流的平臺，今天看到有這麼多熱情的僑胞前來觀看展覽，足以看出袁志鍾先生在南加文化藝術界的聲望，今天參與展覽的作品包含多種字體形式，相信也一定會讓大家對書法藝術有更好的認識。

   

       阿凱迪亞市市議員戴守真表示，阿凱迪亞市目前有超過百分之五十為華人，隨著高科技通訊工具的發展，大部分的華人家庭及子女對於像書法這類的傳統瑰寶藝術並沒有很好地傳承，相信通過類似的書法展覽能夠讓大家對於我們的傳統書法藝術有更好的瞭解。 

  

       據瞭解，袁志鍾書法研習社於洛杉磯成立已有22年歷史，以切磋書法藝術，提昇書法藝術涵養，宏揚中華文化為研習社宗旨。22年來，學員們活躍於世界各地藝術展覽活動中，書法作品備受肯定。此次展覽滙集的60位學員們的佳作，展示了篆、隷、楷、行、草等各種書體。 

       據主辦方透露，2012年研習社曾應台灣僑委會和國父紀念館之邀，在國父紀念館翠溪藝廊舉辦大型書法展。60多位來自台灣的學員通過書法作品向郷親滙報在海外學習和推廣書法藝術的成果。歷時二周的展覽，深受臺灣書法同道的好評。

    袁志鍾先生被業界稱為是従事書法創作與教育的專業書法家。其作品曾多次展出於美國、中國、日本丶韓國丶臺灣等地，先後獲得許多大奬，書法作品被各地文化機構及私人所典藏。美國洛杉磯藝術博物館便保存有袁志鍾的墨寶，臺灣國立藝術教育館典藏了袁先生的獲獎作品，日本書人會及洛杉磯日美文化中心也珍藏了他的大作。2007年應洛杉磯漢庭頓圖書館之邀為新建的中國園林(流芳園)四個景點分別創作了4件書法作品，最近又應邀為流芳園的苐二期擴建工程書寫了行書楹聯和篆書匾額。
