A Coppola at heart

I happened to catch a fine Nicolas Cage movie re-run on TV over the weekend, Gone in 60 Seconds. Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite actors and is incredibly prolific. I ranked my favorite Nick Cage movies (that i have seen) below. [note: there are many still left to see.] And I can't tell you how excited I am that they are making the sequel to National Treasure.

Education is one of the best donations

I like what Oprah Winfrey has done with opening a school for young women. With all the possible causes in the world, aids, hunger, civil injustices, etc, there is a lot of help devoted to these issues..but I think it is important to remember that good education helps solve a lot of these problems from the beginning before they become problems. Starting with education is a great long term solution to a lot of issues.
