Are You Excited to See Kristen Stewart in a New Role?
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 91 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Kristen Stewart was back to rehearsing for The Runaways yesterday, trying to discretely sneak a cigarette during a break. We've seen lots of her making her way to and from the set, as well as her new dramatic Joan Jett makeover. While Kristen has been acting since she was just a kid, she's most famous for her role as Bella in Twilight. It's a character that many people hold near and dear to their hearts, so it might be difficult to envision Kristen playing someone new. So, tell us — are you excited to see her in a new role?

Let me be the first of many Black Americans females to say I love lace wigs,lace front wigs,full lace wigs and full lace wigs! They have been comfortable, affordable, gorgeous to behold, virtually maintenance-free, practical, and just down right pleasant to own for me. I began ordering them oversees and paid little for them. What I didn't realize was how poor quality they were and without a relationship with the manufacture, I could easily have been cheated without any recourse. I bought curly ones that matted when I was advised to wash them! I ripped one piece of my French lace,lace front wigs,lace front wig during removal, so be careful around the edges during removal.

I like Kristen Stewart but must she smoke? I find that really disguisting and that whole pipe smoking picture was....whoa! She always looks high and beat. I think she just needs to lay low for awhile and chill. She clearly can't handle the fame. I hope she pulls through it.

she's pretty and all...but she really can't act that well....neither can rob pattinson for that matter either

I'm just not interested in watching her act. Also, I don't think her or Dakota Fanning can pull off being Joan Jett and Cherie Currie.

she's Bella to me, which means Bella's not really clumsy n shy but stoned and creepy...and I love it so whatever

She will never "always be Bella to me" because she never was in my mind. She was terrible in the role and just horribly cast.

Oh, and in true style of a fifteen-year-old, Kristen's acting sucks. She doesn't really ever seem to loose herself in a role. I never see the character, I just see Kristen.

RP Fan, I agree completely. You're in the public eye Kristen, you're a role model to all these random women and young girls across the country defending you. Smoking, doing drugs is, bluntly, stupid. I agree that she's grown up to quickly in this environment and thinks she's invincible. You're all right, those who have said that I don't know her. But I've seen some pretty hard hitting evidence, smoking pot out in broad daylight, drinking abroad, smoking cigs, partying, staying out late. You think she's overworked, it's the result of her lifestyle after all the working. I hate today's "It-Girls" most of them don't know or seem to understand what a public image is. Grow up for Christ's sake. The bitchy attitude and indifference has gotten old and left some wondering why you're so popular. I don't understand the attraction anyone, including Robert Pattinson who is supposedly "intellectual", can have with her.

come on.. We know that Kristen is a talented actress. She is the reason why i watched twilight, she did it very well. And I saw her other movies.. She is good and great actress.. So haters.. Just Back-off!!..

To roboholic: So she smokes marijuana. Many people from various countries, ethnicities, education levels, and vocations do. So she got caught smoking a bowl. And the beat goes on. I think she's an incredibly expressive actress (I couldn't take my eyes off her in Twilight). I think she has talent and will go far. Personally, I can't wait to see the biopic.
daise 5 years
I absolutely second no. 18 - Also, I don't think that Kristen has a 'pot face' - some of you may laugh at this but she's had that face forever...Please go watch some of her other movies before you judge. I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it - Twilight's not supposed to be movie magic - it's a tweenie book for God's sake!

I'm no Twihard or anything (the books take cheesy, clunky writing to a whole new level), but the film had a beautiful indie vibe, largely due to Kristen Stewart's amazing performance. She manages to convey misery and physical longing better than any actress of her age, so I look forward to New Moon. But I am really, really stoked to see The Runaways. I fully expect Stewart to rock this film. I've always loved Joan Jett, and was amazed when they actually cast someone talented in the part. Oh, and, to all you hater skanks, you wouldn't know talent if it popped you in the eye! We get that y'all wanted to see some Miley Cyrus bimbo play Bella, and instead you got an actual actor, who plays Bella as a (gasp!) teenager, replete with angst, longing, and (here's the rub!) a forceful personality. But suck it up gals, Kstew is here to stay for a long time.

She is an actress and I enjoyed twilight as well but you people gotta let the whole bella thing go. For god sakes she has been in many things other than twilight that may shock you. Just bc you are jealous she is dating rob or jealous you can't land roles in movies, S T F U. Lol.

I'm not really a fan of her and I didn't really like her in Twilight, so I don't care about her getting other roles. More power to her, if someone wants to hire her, but she won't be much of a draw for me.

I thought she was ok in Twilight though I would not say she is perfect in portraying Bella but come on, perhaps she will portray a heart-shattered and depressed bella in New Moon better? I mean, acting comes with feelings and sometimes, practices(that's why they have rehearsals before the actual filming.) Maybe in twilight, she wasn't really know how to project the right bella because it was her first time portraying bella, which is a challenging role- especially the inner portion, as in the emotional and mental part. Or She portrayed bella in a way that is not easily understandable by some of us. maybe her so-called monotonous and expressionless behaviour has something more to just the love she feels for edward? I don't know but I remembered once in an interview where she said she wanted to play bella not in a cliche and trite way. Either way,I can tell she is really serious about the Saga and of course her other upcoming projects, The Runaways and hopefully, K-11 and Breaking dawn. If you hope for BD, go to watch new moon in nov and support the saga. Well, that's what I think that would make BD a reality. 5 more months, to November.

I am a little indifferent with this girl. I didn't start reading the books until after I saw the movie, so I didn't think she was so bad. I found most who read the books first, hated her. I think she has a bad attitude, and should embrace her fame and consider herself pretty dam lucky, especially in this economic climate. I read an article where she called the Twilight fans who came to the set, retarded. First off u should nvr use that word, even a 19 yr old should know better, and second these fans she is insulting is the only reason why she is relevant today, so she needs to remember that because unfortunately like most actors/actresses her relevance will expire.

Here, here, Florida bitch i couldn't agree with you more. So many people are venting on stupid stuff. Leave Kristen alone.She is very talented for only being 19.Don't get jealous because she gets to work along the most amazing actors especially Rob.

I think she is a very talent young actress with tons of potential to be huge! She is beautiful, smart, and well real!! Just because she doesn't always have a smile on her face and eating up the camera like some stars doesn't make her bitchy. I love her for that! I don't love her hair but I total respect that she was willing to go all the way (transformation wise) for her new role. Stop hating on her!! Jealousy is an ugly thing.

I tought she did good in twilight and I can't wait to see her in this next film. I'm with u meg000! I'm just glad she's not like those other actresses that makes a bad movie here and there but spend the majority of the time clubbin'.

I don't think that Kristen acts like this in front of the paparazzi because she is not down to earth... She is just not used to this kind of attention... Her every step is being watched and that happened overnight!!! I've met her as a fan and she was a sweetie ;) We were a bunch of girls and we kind of screamed at her but she just smiled, she signed and she asked us our ages. We even took some photos with her!!! Everybody would be pissed if his every move was watched and critisised... :S She is a very talented young actress who keeps a low profile or at least tries to... As about the hole pot thing, people get over it!!! If you have an actual link showing her smoking pot,marihuana,whatever else than just a cigarette give me a link... And don't get disturbed from her hand-rolled cigarettes... They are normal cigars, you just roll them on your own...

Rob has all the talent. Have you guys heard him sing? I didn't really like him before but then I heard him sing and now I reeaaaaaaaally like him. I think he should make more music.

Well, I have another choice and for an odd reason doesn't appear! I am not excited about her new roles but it isn't because I just can look at her as Bella but rather because I don't even care about all her roles! She is not my fave actress and that is something really obvious! I know her before Twilight and this doesn't improve things! But I hate all this attention that she is gettin for this bad movie, I mean.. Who said that this movie was good? I dont know, even when this won a MTV award doesn't mean that it was good... So, there are so many good actors that don't need to appear in "Twilight" for be betters and yeah, I'm meaning to Dakota, she is too good for something too bad! I really don't know this situation but is making me sick! really, I hate it! So, PLEASE add a new option on this poll because I don't think that i'm the only one who thinks of this way!

One more thing to all you haters... IF SHE COULDN'T ACT THE DIRECTERS FOR HER 22 MOVIES WOULD NOT HAVE PICKED HER!!! Think about that.

I think this type of role suits her more. I am a twilight fan but I have to say I think there could have been a better Bella- but now that she is Bella I can't picture anyone else playing the part.

ATTN:ASHIN... They are trying to stay out of the spotlight!!! The pappz won't leave them the fuck alone. They can't eat, breath, or sleep without someone taking their picture. So are you saying they should quit acting? Let's see. If it was you who starred in a movie that people are insane about without your knowledge, even though you have been in many other movies before and never had a problem with the pappz, and everyone all of the sudden decided to follow your every move... You would change your entire life around because of someones decision to follow you? They both have said If they had known that Twilight was going to be this big blockbuster, they wouldn't have done it. They thought it was a small independent film. TO THE REST OF YOU HATERS...Since the FAME, K and R have not done anything wrong. Kristen smoking weed on her porch,BTW.. legal in Cali with perm, was BEFORE all of this hype. The only thing she has done is smoke cigs and drink alc in VANCOUVER ONLY. Once again drinking age in Van. is 18. Just because she doesn't give a shit what you people think of her does not make her a bad person.Just because she doesn't pile on the makeup and talk like a valley girl (AKA..80% of HOLLYWOOD) doesn't make her white trash.The girl is far from white trash. She comes from money and doesn't sleep around. White trash? Because she's shy in interviews. She has never claimed to be this great actress. Matter of fact she said in an interview, that every time she gets a roll she's not sure why they picked her. FOX is running her mouth dropping the F bomb in every interview, telling people how she wants the Gov. to legalize weed, but because she dresses how you Kristen haters want her to dress and piles on the fake face and has all kinds of surgery and is CONFIDENT, she's overlooked. She's been in all of two movies. Does that make her a good actress? Oh but She's the shit!! RIGHT? Go to hell!!

Yes, I'm really excited to see her do different roles. She is an actress after all, and from an interview that I watched of her she seemed beyond thrilled to get this role. I wish her luck and from the looks of her haircut she is certainly trying her best to get into character for this role.I am a Kristen Stewart fan, as I think that she's a great actress. I feel sorry for how she is so disliked. However, is she a good role model for young Twilight loving girls? Not really. Maybe she could be a bit more conscious of how many girls look up to her simply for portraying Bella. But I doubt that she got into acting to be a role model for anyone!

Kristen is not a role model, She is an actress. If you want a role model then you need to search else where. She will do a brilliant job on the JJ movie and other movies that she chooses. She is much more interesting that Megan Fox...why dont you all put your hate on Megan or Bankers :))))...why so intense about Kristen. Also, I really confussed why people are so hating on the smoking...everyone smokes and does a bit of the green master sometimes. She isnt a coke muncher,she has not killed anyone or goes out without her underware or steals babies from foreign countries, steals husbands, kiss her brother, decorate or self harm with stupid tatoos all over her body...so I dont understand why the hating and more with the lovin. She is just a normal 19yr old guys.

I think Kristen is refreshing, I love that she's awkward and weird and not just another over-tannified, bubbly starlet. I think people forget that a lot of times, actors are really reclusive and introverted when they're not performing. She did the best she could with the shitty script of Twilight (her chemistry with Rob was amazing and made the movie) and I think she's perfect for Joan Jett.

Why does thinking she can't act mean jealousy? Some of you are borderline psycho over this girl. There are lots of "non-cookie cutter" actresses out there with more talent than her- Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Frida Pinto. She's an okay actress who butchered her role in Twilight. I'm keeping an open mind about Joan Jett. And no, I'm not jealous of her in the least.

She didn't eff up 'Twilight' - too many of those godawful lines simply were not meant to be spoken aloud. Go ahead. Try it. You'll see... :) "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb." wtf? That said, I actually liked 'Twilight the book; in spite of the simpering cheese, there was a good story there. And since the books pretty much go downhill from there, let's just say, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the films.

We all know that she smokes, but there has ever been any comment or proof that she is stone or drunk unlike Lindsay Lohan , Drew Barrymore, and Amy Winehouse. Lindsay Lohan even had to go to rehab. Kristen's co stars always gives her praises . Just check out the commentary portion of The Cake Eaters and the interview they did with Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Eisenberg. She will do very well in years to come and haters are just upset cause she's with Rob and will be earning a lot of $$$.

I would be excited to see Kristen star in a new role, especially Joan Jett. She did movies way before Twilight and I've seen a lot of them. So, all the haters talking about her probably haven't seen her other roles. Moreover, her take on Bella was actually really good. My mom is an English Lit teacher, and my mom agrees her take on the character from the book was actually hitting the nail on the head. As for her actions in every day life, it's HER life. She can't live her life for the public. If she wants to smoke cigarettes, so be it!! She doesn't have to wear make-up everywhere she goes either. It's ridiculous for people to expect so much from her and Robert. They're just like the rest of us, and the only thing different is how they make their money lol. So...if you want to be inspired by someone, look towards your parents, family, and friends.

"classless and seemingly stoned half the time"You realize that you are making accusations about a person that you have never met, right? And that you have no factual basis to make your claims? She does have heavy eyelids, yes, but that doesn't mean that she is on drugs. That is a REALLY big stretch to try and bash the girl. It sounds like you just want to hate her. If you have to bend over backwards to find something wrong with her, then maybe you are trying too hard.

I saw her in Adventureland, and I thought she was great. Really, really good. I have never seen the Twilight movies or read the books, so I don't know about all that. I do know that she is a actress who is very internalized, but still has a lot going on in there. She doesn't mug for the camera, and I think that is a good thing.

people are always going to be inspired by celebrities, regardless of how old they are. so it is true that kristen stewart needs to be a little more responsible about her actions. if she would prefer not to be judged on her behavior than perhaps she should fade from the spotlight. the same goes for robert pattinson, too.

I believe kristen don't want girls to look up to her too she just wants to act not a role model and people always have a choice if they want to copy everything kristen does!back to the topic I'm more excited if Miley Cyrus takes the role she don't smoke she don't do drugs she's a great role model and most of all she's not dating Robert pattinson!!hehehe for a change.

Kristen played Bella perfectly! She's gonna rock in whatever roles she has in the future too, you'll see! Love her! :)

Kristen Stewart didn't fu..... up Twilight. It's bad cheesy fan fiction writing. And it's not her job to be anybodies role model. Young girls should not be raised by celebrities and TV, they should be raised by their parents. Oh, and Rob fangirls, Kristen or no Kristen he will never be with you, so get a life and stop hating people you don't know

She may have talent, but unfortunately that doesn't translate. She is monotoned, holds no facial expressions and she manages to seep "trailer trash" into her roles. I don't see the talent that others see. I'm hoping she can prove me wrong. Joan Jett is an icon and deserves to be portrayed properly. I don't see Kristen Stewart as one of the great young actresses of our time.

absolutely.. she is very talented.. the cake eaters, speak... twilight is not her first or second movie, and she can do better than that. Forget twilight, kristen is really good actress.

Kristen is awesome and a talented actress She's not a typical cookie cutter actress who just wants to be a star. She takes her craft seriously as we can see by the dedication she's putting into Joan Jett. Most actresses would have wimped out and worn a wig. She's hardcore and i love her for it.. She's got a long career ahead of her and i can't wait to see what she does next. I'm really looking forward to the Runaways.

I've defended Kristen for a long time, though I really don't know why anymore. It's a shame that so many young girls are watching her every move right now because she's in no stretch of the imagination a good role model by the way she conducts herself (classless and seemingly stoned half the time) and by the way she looks (classless and seemingly stoned half the time). She would argue that she's not trying to be a role model, but as a young actress in the public eye, it's part of her job to conduct herself in an appropriate manner because there will be impressionable young people that want to emulate. The "I don't give a crap what anyone thinks" attitude is stale and not working for her, and will probably kill her career in the long run. She's an example of why people in Hollywood should not produce offspring. She's grown up too fast, is already jaded, and apparently thinks she's invincible. She needs a reality check...and apparently so does Rob Pattinson if his feelings for her are what so many say they are.

anonymous even if she is dating rob and people hate that , she can't act. She f.. ucked up twilight. The reason why the movie even made it this high is because teenage girls are in love with robert/edward. The movie was suppose to be about bella. If robert wasn't hot, there probably wouldn't have been a new moon.

What has changed in reality (players) and intangibles? That is the real question. Last season something finaly clicked with the team. Maybe it was the perfect storm. Did players play over there heads? Did the lockeroom and behind the scenes atmosphere change?
2010 2011 Lines during the 2nd half
Moulson - Tavares - Parenteau
Grabner - Nielsen - Okposo
Comeau - Bailey - Joensuu
Martin - Konopka - Haley
Which players out of those 13 are no longer on the team:
2010 2011 Defensemen
Which players of those 8 are no longer on the team:
2010 2011 Goalies
Which of those 2 players are no longer on the team:
Of the 23 man roster (for the most part) during the 2nd half of last season 10 Players 43% are either traded let go or in BP. That is a very big roster turnover. Yes DiPi, Eaton, Mottau, Streit were on the team last year but all were hurt during the 2nd Half (while the team was winning).
Goalies: We have a 3 man rotation. None of the three can get enough practice and or game time. For the most part of the season the goalies have not been the issue. But because of the 3 spots taken we lose a roster spot.
Montoya - We find out he got hurt. But he is by far the best Goalie on the team and he has only started 5 Games of the 18. Its funny that his injury is muscle pull was that because he wasn't getting enough game time or practice time. I am not sure, but I will say I am pretty it was at leat a factor in it.
Nabokov - He is the 2nd best goalie of the 3. He has started the most games 8 out of 18. He has not looked bad, but as with Montoya he is currently hurt with a muscle pull. He is trade bait at the trade deadline.
DiPietro - At times he looks ok and he is healthy. Those are the positives, but he is the worst of the 3 goalies. The only reason why he is still on this team is due to his contract. His save % is again less than 90%. He is slow to get up when he goes down to make a save. He costs the islanders 2 roster spots, because they have to keep 3 goalies due to the fact that they can't count on him to stay healthy.
Outlook - By the trade deadline Nabokov will be traded. By that time hopefuly DiPi will be hurt and the Islanders can bring up Poulin now that he is playing well again. With Poulin and Montoya we can have a very good 1 2 punch in net. If God help us Dipi stays healthy the 3 goalie situiation will continue to detreriorate.
Defensemen - From the 2nd half of last season to this season 5 of the 8 defensemen have changed. The question is if Martinek, Hillen, Wishart, Gervais, and Reese better than as a whole than Streit, Eaton, Mottau, and Staios. Besides Streit my answer is no. Lets leave Gervais and Reese off this comparison.
Martinek - When healthy is a very good stay at home defenseman. In my opinion better than Eaton, Mottau and Staios. I still think it was the right move to let him go due to injuries but he is definately better than what we have currently.
Hillen - He brought speed to the defense. Yes he had defensive lapses but, he brought the speed aspect that this team desperately needs. On paper Eaton, Mottau, and Staios are better, but in reality they are not. Because they are slow they have just as many defensive lapses as Hillen. Because Hillen is faster and brought offensive skills to the defense I would also say Hillen was better.
Wishart - Had a very bad training camp. And he has not been that good in BP yet this year. He is I would say is not as good as Eaton, Mottau, Staios.
AMac - Does not look like the same player he was last year before the injury. He does not look fully recovered yet.
Hamonic - Is making mistakes that he did not nake last season. He is young and you expect him to make mistakes, but overall he is not playing as good as last season.
Jurcina - Not playing as well as last season. Also he has the added problem of staying healthy.
Streit - Does not look like the same player he was before the injury. He does not look fully recovered yet.
The defense is old, slow, and soft. Not a good combination for a defense. Eaton, Mottau, and Staios need to waived. As much as I liked AMac and Hamonic together last season they need to break up the pair. Bring up Wishart and Reese they are not going to be any worse. Also they might even play their Asses off which is another problem on this team. If changes are not made soon this draft we will be picking 1 or 2 again
Forwards: Just like on defense Konopka, Haley, and Joensuu as a whole are they better than Reasoner, Rolston and Pandolfo? Yes on many levels. They brought Heart, Toughness, Grit. They brought intimidation and they had skill. The 4th line of Martin-Konopka-Haley was what you want. Konopka was our best FO center. Haley was like a burst of energy on the Ice and played with skill. When needed they would drop their gloves and protect their teamates. Joensuu I did not realize played as much as he did. Because Bailey and Comeau are so soft Joensuu brought speed and size to the 3rd line. During training camp Cappi did not know what to do with the 3rd and 4th lines and that is still the problem.
Tavares - Is becoming before our eyes a great player. his skating has improved and is starting to build strength.
Moulson - Is giving us what he has given us the past 2 seasons.
Grabner - After a slow start is coming around and looking more like the player he was in the 2nd half of last season.
Parenteau - Is having the same type of season as last.
Nielsen - Is best suited as a 3rd line and PK center. Since Bailey has not stepped up his game he needed to become our 2nd line Center. That should be recitified by next season with Strome coming up. As a 3rd line Center Neilsen rates with the best in the league. but he is a below average 2nd line center.
Okposo - More than any other player has hurt this team. He was given the A because of his hard play, but look at him this season he looks like he does not care. He doesnt finish checks and does not go to the corners like he previously had. He looks like he did last season when he first came back from injury. It took him about 15 games bit after that he started playing well. Yes he had trouble getting shots on goal but he at leat played with heart.
Comeau & Bailey: They look lost. Bailey has been a enigma his whole career but this year is taking it to a new level. Comeau has always been a streaky player but the Islanders have received nothing from either of these 2 players.
As a whole the forwards have been the biggest problem with the club. Their inablity to forcheck and keep pressure in the opposing teams zone has put us in the bottom of the leagur in scoring. The old vets have not helped in any shape or form. Hopefuly Nino can bring some energy back to this team.
In the 2nd half last season we had players that looked hungry. Young players that had something to prove. This season there is no heart or determination. The older players brought in to take the team to the next level have taken the heart and grit from last years team. We have 8 players 33 years or older more than any team in the NHL by 2 players. The team looks Old, Slow and Soft and we are being pushed all over the ice again. the offense was supposed to be the srength of the team is its biggest weakness. The defense is pretty much we expected, not very good. Goaltending is starting to become an issue with this 3 goalie team.
By trade deadlne Nabokov, Reasoner, Rolston, Pandolfo, Eaton, Mottau, and Staios better not be on this team. Comeau and Bailey need to turn it around or also need to be shipped out also. The spectre of DiPi is not going to go away unless he retires. It looks like this team is in for another lottery pick season, unless drastic changes are made, which there looks like nothing is happening for a while.
The biggest difference between last year and this year is HEART, GRIT, DETERMINATION, and TOUGHNESS. The players lost compared to who was added on paper looked better but in reality it did not work out that way. Snow was the architect of this disaster and Cappi is stuck with the hasbeens he was stuck with. But the Islanders need to bring respectibility back to this team and it needs to be a Coach who can also be the face of the Franchise. Somebody the players will immediately respect and FA and or traded for Vets would want to play for.

By Delivrine Registre - bio | email Tifton, GA (WALB) - Senior citizens at a Tift County center have turned their hearts over to Governor Sonny Perdue this Valentines Day. 30 Seniors wrote on heart-shaped letters to plead for the future of the Leroy Rogers Center.
Pam Lanier is one of 30 seniors in Tifton who gets lunch at the Leroy Rogers Center. And like many of the seniors here this is all she has left. "I lost everything when I came here they just opened their hearts. They give you something to eat, and you wouldn't eat other wise."
The center has been serving meals for the elderly since 1997. "Most of these seniors, unfortunately retirement doesn't last as long as it used to, and this is the only meal they get," said Nutrition Manager, Christine McHenry.
But they provide more than just a warm meal a day. "I met a lot of new people who are my age. So we just get together and have a good time," said Vera Norris.
But recent budget cuts in state funding are making it harder for centers like this one to continue providing their services. "They've already cut $300,000 earlier this year, and they're may be other proposed cuts," said Director, Samantha Lawson.
Governor Perdue is now proposing a $60,000 cut in nutrition programs, and a $70,000 cut in respite care programs throughout the state. And is why they took the time to write about their concerns if their center were to have to cut back.
"Everything is great here. And I love everybody, and I want him to keep this program open if he can," said Joseph Lutton.
"You might as well hammer the last nail into the coffin because a lot of these seniors have nothing else to live for; if it wasn't for their friends and they things they get here," said Lanier. And they hope he reconsiders the proposed cuts.

Unless the San Andreas Fault sank California last night and gave Nevada the coast, Cate Blanchett now has a Best Actress nomination for her performance in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine."
If the Academy heeds Screening Room patrons, breathless in reactions to her riches-to-rags role as they left the theater, she will receive the Oscar on March 2.
Reactions to the film as a whole are mixed, as you'd expect for a comedy so grim that few in the audience laugh when Jasmine, asked where she is from, answers, "Park Avenue."
It's a tribute to Allen — which the reviewers will never give — that the supporting cast matches Blanchett's performance. Most moving is Andrew Dice Clay, whose few brief scenes may land him a nod for supporting actor.
Don't laugh: Marlon Brando was once nominated for that award for a blink-of-an-eye turn in "A Dry White Season" (1989), a comparison worth making considering that Clay's final scene echoes "I coulda' been a contender" in more ways than one.
That, of course, was "On the Waterfront" (1954), recognized as a metaphor for post-war America with a strong plot offering the ways and means of organized crime in the mid-20th century.
Which brings us to what the reviewers miss in "Blue Jasmine," especially in the character of Jasmine French, despite all the praise they heap on Blanchett's rendition of it.
She was married to a Wall Street high-roller played by Alec Baldwin — who makes you believe how easy it was for so many to believe the likes of Bernie Madoff — and so she was surrounded by the ways and means of 21st-century organized crime.
As she says — often enough so that we hear her ditzy sister (played by Sally Hawkins, yet another gem) say it for her — she was able to live with the illusion and deny the fraud by "looking the other way."

If you're a fan of the show, and you haven't watched last night's episode of CBS's hit series Person of Interest, and you hate spoilers, I suggest you skip this post entirely. Although if you're on any of the popular social media websites, the episode has probably already been spoiled for you, given just how active conversation about the episode was on my own Twitter feed after it ended.
It's not a show that I watch (I tuned in for a few episodes during its first season, and was never really hooked unfortunately, so I moved on); but it's been one of TV's highest rated dramas since its fall 2011 debut, averaging in the neighborhood of 12-16 million viewers per episode!
So clearly, lots of you are watching; and, as I recall from my post 2 weeks ago on the most-watched primetime TV shows amongst black households, it was ranked high, in the top 4.
And I'd argue that one key reason for its popularity with black audiences is the presence of one of the show's 3 leads played by Taraji P. Henson.
Last night, "black Twitter" exploded with tweets about last night's episode, dominating my timeline - specifically, on how it ended.
First, let me back up a little bit and say that I wasn't even on Twitter at the time, but I initially noticed a sudden huge spike in traffic to S&A, and when I checked for the reasons for the spike, I discovered that a significant percentage (about 40%) where all coming from Google searches for the search term "Taraji P. Henson, Person Of Interest."
I suppose maybe until last night (although I have no evidence of this), we've been one of a few sites that's written a lot about Taraji P. Henson's involvement in the series specifically, since the early 2012 kerfuffle over her exclusion from a TV Guide cover which featured the show's other 2 stars, James Caviezel and Michael Emerson - an *incident* which, as I remember, was heavily debated in the comment sections of the 2 or 3 posts we published on that specific matter.
But after noticing last night's traffic spike, since I don't watch the show, I immediately took to Twitter to see if it would tell me anything, and, soon enough, I found out that Taraji's character, NYPD homicide detective Joss Carter, had taken a bullet, and died at the very end - essentially killing her character off the show, after 2 1/2 seasons.
A sample of some of the tweets I read as I scrolled down my feed:
Up until then, I didn't realize that there was such passion for the series, especially among black viewers, and I even started to feel like maybe I was missing out on something good, and should give it another chance; Maybe I'll check Netflix to see if the first season is streaming, and I can binge-watch and catch-up, I thought to myself.
I didn't, but I did watch last night's episode this morning, courtesy of Amazon's VOD service, so I could see exactly how it all went down. But since I don't have the emotional investment that long-time viewers have with the series, and Taraji's character especially, I wasn't anywhere as affected as they were (and still are). However, I just wanted to see it all unfold for myself; and yeah, she got shot alright. Took one right in the chest, and she seemed to have died right there on the sidewalk, in co-star James Caviezel's arms.
But then I thought, well, maybe she's not dead, and this was a great cliffhanger to carry viewers into the next episode, where we might see her recovering. Maybe the episode begins with her in a hospital bed, unconscious, but alive. Maybe... maybe not.
Maybe she really has been killed off and it's done!
And if that's the case, it may hurt the show and CBS in the long run, if reactions from black audiences are any indication of what's to come, as many said that they'd no longer watch the show if Henson's character wasn't on it. Now whether or not they follow through on that promise is another thing entirely.
But it's a risk that CBS is apparently willing to take, knowing that this is a show with a significant black audience - some who were attracted to it in the first place, and who are continuing to watch it, in part because of Henson's character. If she's really gone for good, then there's the possibility that the show could lose a chunk of its audience in the process. "Black Twitter's" outrage was very real folks! Believe me. I witnessed it firsthand!
Henson didn't really comment on it on Twitter, although she did announce that she will be on David Letterman's show tonight to discuss last night's episode. So all your questions just might be answered tonight, some time between 11:35pm and 12:35pm EST. This just might provide a ratings boost for Letterman's show.
But if you can't wait until then, Henson did give an interview to Entertainment Weekly, published earlier this morning, in which she talked about the episode, and, I must say folks, unless she's been instructed to stick to this specific story (so that you all can be surprised again next week, when you find her alive again), everything she says in the EW interview suggests that she's definitely off the show.
Here's a snip:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you first learn that Carter would die?
TARAJI P. HENSON: I always knew that we would have a beginning, a middle and an end. You don't tell the audience "Hey, she's not gonna last!" because that's the whole surprise element, but that's what's so innovative about the show and that's why I joined. We always knew we would do two, maybe three seasons.
How did you feel when you finally had the script in hand?
It was sad. You portray a character for so long, you care about her and her life. But art imitates life—it comes to an end unexpectedly. It was bittersweet, because I enjoyed portraying Carter. What a strong, powerful woman on television.
Did you feel like, from a storytelling standpoint, it was time for Carter to go?
Absolutely. The audience will be shocked because you don't see it coming. She said she was going to bring down HR, and she did.
What was it like filming your last scene?
The mood on set was bittersweet, even with the crew. We laugh and we joke, but at the end of the laughs, it was a sigh. I was trying to keep the spirits up, so all night I was cracking jokes and not hugging and getting too emotional with everyone.
Was it a challenge for you to keep the secret?
Yes! I felt like I was lying to my lover. It was hard because I'm Chatty Cathy, and I love to share and talk and I'm a horrible liar. I felt like people could see it on my face.
So, like I said, unless this is all planned, so that audiences continue to believe that she really is dead, only to be surprised next week, based on the above, I'd say she's a goner for sure!
Henson does add that, up next for her, she'll be doing a play. She doesn't say what play exactly, only that it's what she wants to do next, adding that it was where she was trained, and after she completes a high-profile screen project like Person Of Interest, she always loves to go back to do theater.
So fans should be expecting an announcement soon.
Read the full EW interview HERE if you'd like, and/or tune in to Letterman tonight for her interview with Dave.
Person of Interest airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

If people were watching and keeping up with the show from the beginning they would have seen Henson's character evolve from not trusting or liking the 2 main characters to her helping them and caring for them at the season's end. I liked the kiss at the end between her and Caveziel's characters because you could tell there were special to each other. I had read a while back that Henson couldn't keep up with the show due to her movie schedule and that she knew she would be killed off the show and when you think about it, you know she's a regular movie actor. I knew myself that she would not be on for too long anyway because of this. You can't keep that type of schedule, being on a popular show AND do films. That's crazy! People are just not being realistic and just want to complain every time a black women get's killed off a show! Get real and grow up!!
Katie | December 24, 2013 10:30 AM
I didn't even know this show was even on because I don't watch television that much. Now I'm hearing about this show only to learn Henson has been killed off. The bad part is I won't be supporting the show. The good part is this strengthens my want to create webseries with black woman protagonists. I already have six in mind. Four dramas, two fantasy.

If i was a 40 something actress on a hit show, I'd find a way to stick it out.... that's retirement money.

Well Taraji wants the show to be successful and do good work. If she was either MJ y'all would basically be telling her to shit on her team. None of you seem interested in the revenge for her death plot. Regina King and Taraji never got the support Kerry Washington gets because she has love scenes. It's okay if you are not interested in action sequences. However Taraji now has the distinction of top black female action lead ever on broadcast. The storyline is that Taraji was the romantic hero that died protecting those she loved who were weaker than her. The flashbacks showed how she never backed down from her ex-Laz and inspired him to be a better man for their son. And Caviezel explained she did the same for him. It insight to the popular adage of why do I keep falling for damage lovers. We are all damaged. Only those willing to sacrifice for others deserve our admiration. Tatami should have your admiration and you should honor her by watching her murder get avenged.

yet another reason why I stopped watching that show
furtgo | November 21, 2013 6:05 PM
Her character was underutilized at times, but I looked forward to her scenes. Caviezel and the guy from Lost are not compelling enough by themselves. She was the emotion. I too have no reason to watch anymore.

That kiss wasn't in script. Jim went for it and Taraji responded. Knowing this made the moment so much more beautiful. Great actors.

Looking at the photo, I'm just glad to see John Leguizamo is working again...
RichardJohn786 | November 20, 2013 4:18 PM
I caught #PersonofInterest last night for the first time. Was glad to see Taraji P. Henson on there. Then, to see her on screen character get "killed," I was like 'you got to be kidding me.' lol
After seeing that short clip of next week's episode at the end, its clear she won't be in action. Most likely won't tune in for that. Good way to spark up interest on the show though.
Africameleon | November 20, 2013 3:44 PM
OK I see... So basically she was replaced by Laz Alonso, who plays her ex-husband and father of her son. I should of known they wouldn't allow an on screen romance between two black leads in this show. That's got me feeling some kinda way. Damn.
Peggy | November 20, 2013 3:29 PM
I watch it off and on. I knew something was up when the brought in TWO white women over the last few months and added them to the cast. I probably won't watch it now. The Sarah Shahi character is too unbelievable.
Josh | November 20, 2013 3:18 PM
"You are being watched"
Best show on one of the big networks IMO. I did NOT want a romantic subplot involving her and Reese. Nice rope-a-dope, was convinced Foscoe was going. HR is finally done, just so satisfying.
beemooree | November 20, 2013 3:14 PM
This was a shocker to me. I tried watching this show from season 1 but didn't get hooked. I gave it another try season 3 and liked it. Since tarahi is gone I will not continue. Shame on them for bringing in that new chick and killing carter just when she was heating things up with jim caviezel

Big news! My new book will be titled Better Than College: How to Build a Successful Life Without a Four-Year Degree.
I've been working on this book (in one fashion or another) since late 2010 when I started the Zero Tuition College blog. In summer 2011 I began working in earnest on the manuscript, and earlier this year I asked 20 friends and associates to give me feedback on the current draft. (They did, and it was excellent.)
Currently I'm working with an editor to tighten up the manuscript, and I've begun experimenting with cover design possibilities. (That's one possibility on the right.) Because professional editing and design services are pricey, I'm raising funds to help cover the up-front costs of the book while giving backers an awesome pre-order deal. Please check out my campaign on IndieGoGo to learn more and contribute!
Thank you for your support, and look forward to more book updates on this blog!

With the initial euphoria of week 1 of football season out of the way, we now move onto the either sustained pleasure of a successful season for our team of choice, or, more likely, despair as we watch all of our dreams collapse and fall around us.
With the first week gone, we now move onto our second week of games, which will include a new week of traveling and matchups providing EDSBS commentariat opportunities to meet up, get drunk, and presumably burn shit down.
Here's how it works:
Make a comment below saying what city you'll be in on game day in the title (ie: Tuscaloosa, Columbus, Norman) then say what part of campus or what part of the city you'll be setting up to get drunk before/after the game or where you're going to watch football. People can then look through the titles, see if they're in the same city, and they can put where they will be in the info in a response to the original city comment. Just for ease of people to navigate basically. If people are close enough, they can set up a point of contact for tailgating, drinking, whatever.
Big time matchups:
Thursday: Arizona at Oklahoma State
Saturday: Miss St. at Auburn
Alabama at Penn State
South Carolina at Georgia

Cuss Words
There is a lively feature today, A brief history of four letter words. It deals with the evolution of profanity. HT to Andrew Sullivan. Examples of wirty dords will be used in this feature. If such language offends you, please skip the text, and enjoy the pictures. These pictures are from The Library of Congress. These pictures were taken on the USS Brooklyn, where the men would swear like sailors.
"Golly! Zounds! Gadzooks! These are the kind of things Captain Marvel would say. Almost any other superhero would be too mature for such, childish silly words. And yet, during Shakespeare's time, they made him one of the more edgy writers out there. They're not just random sounds, but contractions, meant to make absolutely shocking sentiments less outright obscene. Golly, zounds, and gadzooks were, in order, G-d's body, G-d's wounds, and G-d's hocks." The spell check suggestion for Gadzooks is Bazookas.
The body of G-d, or Jesus, is a big deal to some varieties of Christians. When Shakespeare was in business, it was even more so. Religious profanity is less and less explosive, as bumper sticker's about G-d's last name might indicate. When Europe was fighting wars about the best way to worship, this talk about God's Ham was explosive.
The third commandment refers to the proper use of sacred names. It's application is in the ear of the beholder. PG thinks that a pledge of allegiance to a political symbol is not a proper use of a holy name, and almost no one agrees with him. And PG is notoriously non Christian.
There is a book, "The Whisper of the River , about a baptist reared young man who goes to college. A yankee neighbor says "good G-d a mighty". The raised right young man calls him out about "using the name of the Lord in vain".
In another real life, PG worked for many years with a professional Jesus worshiper. The experience severely PG from Jesus. One of the favorite sayings of the PJW was "good G-d a mighty",
Some people think they are being righteous by not using certain words. The truth is that profanity is a social standard. G-d has better things to worry about than what words people use to describe procreation. All of the Carlin seven appear in the Bible, in one of the many languages used.
Bitch and ass are two words that used to refer to animals. "Ass is actually two words blended together to become an obscenity. Ass, the swear word, started out as irs, which meant the back end of anything, not just animals. It became arse, and eventually rounded out and emerged as an ass."
"Bitch started out, " and remains, a female dog in breeding condition. From there its meaning expanded to anything female in breeding condition, and eventually it expanded to become promiscuous women, angry women, angry or promiscuous homosexual men, or anything "especially disagreeable." Sliding between the slightly sexual, the slightly referring to sexuality, and the literal meaning of the word got bitch into general conversation, and most television shows. It also helps that being "especially disagreeable," rather than meek and accommodating has become a point of pride for both women and male homosexuals, and so even at its most insulting, the word has lost the power to shock as society has moved on."
Both bitch and ass have become more acceptable. Ass has a suffix, hole, which describes a (hopefully) functioning body part. This word is a serious insult. Names for genitalia also function, with remarkable versatility, as cuss words.
At the start of the Carlin seven is piss and shit. These created using onomatopoeia … a word that sounds like what it describes. They refer to excretion, both as noun and verb. Excrete is seldom used as profanity, even though it means the same thing. As time goes down the toilet, both piss and shit have acquired multiple meanings.
Which brings us to the F bomb. It is similar to the German Ficken or the Dutch Fokken. It almost certainly is NOT an acronym. Technically it is not one of the Carlin seven. If it is, then mother is a super cussword. With a profitable holiday in May, mother will always be said on television.
There is another forbidden word. It *triggers* strong reactions. If Mr. Carlin had used this word in his monolog, his career would have ended. This word was used by Mark Twain. It is used today by millions of people. Many people who use this this word are described by it. Our culture might be better off without this word, but America is stuck with it.

It's On: Point Guards vs. Sarah Palin

Matt Steinmetz has fun picking the analogy into shreds. It's even more fun if you try to read this and imagining it with Matt Steinmetz's argumentative voice.

This technology seems very impressive at first glance. You may end up with a technically flawless performance, however wouldn't you be limited by the casting? How would someone efficiently alter the look or performance of a character after the data has been processed?
Personally, after being an Animator for the past 12 years, I have never found the challenge of trying to create a believable, and realistic animation "self-defeating". Actually, it's quite the contrary. I think you would be hard pressed to find any Animator who would give up that easily.

Top 10 Apple iPhone Apps – 2010
There's an app for that! With over 250,000 apps currently available on iTunes for the iPhone and iPod Touch, it may difficult to find those that are worthwhile amongst all the apps that are worthless. Ranging from making light saber noises (or fart noises), to finding local restaurants and shops, to finding out your BAC, the purposes of the apps are endless. Here are my top 10 iPhone applications that are very useful, lack in bugs, and easy to use.
1. Pandora
If you have ever used Pandora on your computer, you know how to use this app. Simply input an artist, song, album, or genre, and hear non-stop music. Choose the thumbs-up or thumbs-down option for each song to customize your station. Not only will this allow you to hear new music, but you won't need to put as many songs on your device saving space for other things. Runner up: Slacker radio. Slacker is another free app for your iphone (pay fro service if you want unlimited skipping) and you can search for virtually any song or artist for free.
2. Netflix
Although you need a membership to Netflix to use this free app, it is well worth it. You can now stream movies, documentaries, and tv shows right onto your phone. The app works on the 3G network, as well as with Wi-Fi. With over 17,000 titles at your disposal, it is possible to never be bored again.
3. Angry Birds
This game app has taken iPhone users by storm. So popular in fact, that it was recently made as an Android app as well, because the demand was so great. You are a team of birds trying to get revenge on a gang of pigs who stole your eggs. Sure, the story may not sound to fun, but through the variety of birds you can use and the multitude of levels, this trial-and-error trajectory game will keep you entertained for hours, days, and even months.
The countless number of weather applications on the market is astounding. None of them, however, measure up to the simple, easy-to-use, accuracy of this application. See current, 36-hour, and 10-day forecasts. You can even see radar maps to see what the clouds are actually doing!
5. Sonar Ruler
At first view, this may not seem like an important app. It may even seem like an incredibly nerdy one. However the usefulness of this application is undeniable. How often have you wanted to know the measurements of a room, a table, or any other object with no ruler or tape measurer in sight? The Sonar Ruler provides fairly accurate measurements using the speaker to send out signals and the microphone to receive them. It measures the time it takes for the signal to bounce off a wall, and calculates that into the distance between the phone and the wall.
I know it isn't difficult to find scores. But with ESPN SportsCenter, you can customize your settings so all of your favorite sports and teams appear in one place. Just a slide of the thumb and you can have all your live and up-to-date scores as they happen. And if you want a simple game from ESPN, check out ESPN Zoom (formally Camera Man). In this very simple game, two almost identical pictures are put side-by-side. It is your job to find all 5 differences.
7. Fring
No need for separate applications for AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Twitter, or Facebook. Fring brings you the instant messaging capabilities of them all. As any iPhone user knows, you can't run more than one application at once. With Fring, you can have access to all of these messaging programs at once! Throw in video calling, and you have got yourself one heck of an app. (note: for the extreme Facebook or twitter user, you may still want those apps as well)
This app is especially good for the small business owners out there. Make yourself look more professional, for free! With the application, you will receive a free 800 or 888 phone number. You can set up three different forwarding phone numbers so you will never miss a call again. While the person calling waits to be connected to one of those numbers, the professional sounding auto-receptionist plays a company greeting. You get 60 toll free minutes every month for free. If that isn't enough, you can purchase more at pretty cheap rates.
9. The Paper Plane Guy's Construction Kit
I'll admit, this one is less about the usefulness of the application than it is about tugging at my nostalgic heart strings. If you were ever a kid, then you can relate. I used to always make paper airplanes. If they got any more complicated than the fold the corners, fold in half, fold the wings plane I normally made, it just didn't fly. Learn 15 different step-by-step designs. Let your inner child come out and play for a little.
UrbanSpoon is great for finding new places to eat. With an entire website supporting this app, the choices are vast. If you can't decide what kind of food you are in the mood for, just give your phone a shake, and let the phone decide for you! Don't like what came up? Spin again! Great way to find new places and give something new a try!
Yes – I know these are only 10 apps for the Iphone. There are probably many more that you already can not live without. You can load any of these top apps on a used apple iphone.

COLUMBIA — When he retired, Ed Andino invested his savings from his Army career into a small liquor store at a shopping center on Forest Drive in Columbia.
Andino and his wife put a lot of thought into what type of business they wanted to own, and when they finally chose to open a liquor store in 2011, they picked East Forest Plaza because it appeared insulated from competition.
Sams cant open another liquor store, Andino said. Theres no place for Costco to build here. Theres no way for Total Wine to come over here and build.
Now, Andino believes his livelihood is threatened by a bill that would allow businesses to hold seven retail liquor permits in the state instead of three, the maximum currently allowed under South Carolina law. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Chauncey Gregory, R-Lancaster, and Sen. Brad Hutto, D-Orangeburg, is working its way through the Senate Judiciary Committee.
It has created a spirited debate about marketplace competition between mom-and-pop liquor store owners and Total Wine, a major retailer with three stores in South Carolina. A representative of Costco, a discount membership chain, has said his company also supports the bill.
The bills critics say that if Total Wine were allowed to open more liquor stores, it would drive the little stores out of business.
It would be what Home Depot did to the neighborhood hardware store, said John Kelsey, president of the ABC Stores of South Carolina, a trade group that represents the states liquor stores.
But David Trone, president of the Potomac, Md.-based Total Wine, said the bill would benefit consumers by providing a larger selection, lower prices and great customer service to people who buy whiskey, vodka, tequila and other liquor products.
Frankly, the limit is protectionism, and protectionism is bad, Trone said. Competition is good.
Liquor retailers filled a Senate subcommittee hearing two weeks ago, leaving more than a dozen people to stand in the hallway because the meeting room was at capacity. The audience cheered and jeered as the bills merits were debated during public testimony. At least once, a security officer had to order the crowd to be quiet.
Andino told his story during the hearing.
He retired from the Army in 2009 after 20 years of service. He held a real estate license and planned to do that in his second career, but the economy had tanked. So, he and his wife decided to invest their savings to open Ricos Liquor Store in East Forest Plaza.
The small, brightly lit store is stocked with all sorts of spirits. They have mini-bottles, pints and even gallons. They even sell a tequila that comes in a bottle shaped like a rifle. On Friday, they did a brisk business as customers came in for weekend party supplies.
Its always been a dream of mine to open my own business, Andino said.
He does not plan to sell beer, and his wine selection is limited because the store stands in the shadow of Sams and Wal-Mart and cant compete with their prices.
For now, those retailers do not sell liquor.
If the bill passes, Sams, which already has three liquor stores in South Carolina, could open one across the parking lot and crush Ricos Liquor Store, Andino said.
Even though Total Wine submitted the bill, its not just them that would benefit, he said. This bill would cost me everything.
Total Wines Trone said it is unfair for the state to limit competition in one industry. Groceries, clothing stores and other types of retailers dont have state laws that aim to protect one business from another, he said.
The company has a South Carolina lobbyist, and Trone and Total Wine are regular contributors to political campaigns in the state. In 2012, Trone donated $1,000 each to the Gregory and Hutto, the bills sponsors.
If the bill passes, Trone said Total Wine would open second stores in Columbia and Greenville, one in Mount Pleasant and one in Myrtle Beach.
The competition doesnt want to compete with me and other people who want to offer lower prices and great selection, he said.
Trone, a Furman University graduate, started Total Wine in 1991 when he opened his first liquor store in Delaware. He said he saved money and opened a second store that his brother managed. Together, they built the company into a retail giant that has 90 stores in 15 states.
They cant say the bigger company puts them at a competitive disadvantage, Trone said. I was that mom-and-pop outfit that built a better mousetrap.
But Andino said there is no way he could compete. In the liquor business, everything revolves around volume.
The more you buy, the bigger the discount. And theres no way he could buy the same amount as Total Wine and in turn receive the same discounts.
They have the budget to invest in one product what I have invested in my entire inventory, Andino said.
He cited the pricing on a 750 ml bottle of Crown Royal as an example. He can buy 15 cases of the popular Canadian whiskey for $270 each, so he pays $22.50 per bottle. His distributor recommends at least a 20 percent markup, which means he would sell a bottle for $27.
On Friday, he checked Total Wines website and found the same 750 ml bottle of Crown Royal for $17.99.
How can they sell it for $4.50 below cost? Andino said. The Senate doesnt see that.
Kelsey, of the ABC Stores association, said legislators need to pay attention to the small businesses that make up the backbone of the states economy.
If Total Wine comes in, the profits will go to Maryland, he said. Whats the benefit to the people of South Carolina? They can buy liquor cheaper at a big store or they can buy liquor from a locally owned store.

The Daily Planet newspaper prop article is titled "A City pf Neighborhoods", which talks about a university student who resides in Brick City (described as an "oft-neglected Hob's Bay port) in Metropolis, who gathered soil samples from eight neighborhoods within the city limits and, upon analysis, discovered toxicity levels that were extremely high.
A photo that accompanies the article (pictured), appears to be someone holding a toxic clay sample... or could it be a green meteorite?

Known as the #IceBucketChallenge, the idea behind the social media campaign is that you either donate money to an ALS charity, or dump a bucket of ice over yourself. One you've made your choice, you nominate up to three friends to do the same within a 24-hour period, and so the cycle continues.
Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and Zack Snyder have all accepted the challenge... surely it's only a matter of time until Henry Cavill gets involved.

Select some holiday themes to start
Fine dining, traditional pubs and a history of oyster fishing combine to make Emsworth an enticing destination for food lovers.
The picturesque fishing village of Emsworth, with its narrow streets, Georgian houses and walled gardens, is fast becoming a magnet for food lovers.
In the Middle Ages Emsworth was a busy port, importing wine for the noble classes. Later the village used tidal power to grind flour and also became known for its oyster beds, boat building, rope making and brewing.
Nowadays Emsworth is a foodie heaven, with its tempting pubs, restaurants (including Michelin-starred 36 On the Quay), cafés and a wide selection of shops, many specialising in local food. A monthly Farmers' market completes the picture.
Pleasure boating is also an attraction in Emsworth, with solar-powered boat trips round Chichester Harbour, along with art galleries and lovely coastal walks offering harbour views. Migrating birds visit the salt marsh on Emsworth's foreshore and conservation groups are dedicated to protecting the natural environment.

Hundreds of Mid-South volunteers took back their neighborhoods by serving Memphis and Shelby County Saturday in the 14th annual Servathon.
Volunteers served 15 different project sites around town, including Target House, Memphis Heritage and MIFA.
At Playhouse on the Square in Midtown, volunteers spent the afternoon painting, cleaning and sorting costumes. They traded in relaxing on a sunny afternoon for the chance to serve their community.
"Memphis is a great place. And I get the sense of ownership. Those of us that live here, we want visitors to come to see that Memphis cares about where Memphis is," said project coordinator Edna Christopher. "That we don't wait for other people to do it for us. We do it ourselves."
There's an abundance of opportunities for people looking to serve in our community. Learn more by visiting Volunteer Memphis.
