Whats up BN?! As a long time (as in these past 2 years) lurker, I've decided to jump aboard and make my presence known, for what its worth.
I think what motivated this was reading this thread and realizing that- when I was a student, I had truly fallen short in my support of the Bruins. Perhaps my story that follows could be one that other students can learn from or provide some hope to older Bruins that its still very much possible to build a devoted fan culture (this blog alone speaks to the power to do so).
I came to UCLA in the fall of 2004. I was the first person in my family to attend UCLA. I had never visited UCLA before until Orientation, and even that didn't make me totally feel a part of UCLA just yet. I went to classes, hung out with dorm mates, and got to know people, but it took me a while to adjust. I had even taken for granted that Maurice Jones-Drew (or Maurice Drew as I knew him) and Marcedes Lewis lived on my FLOOR (Fir 4). Maurice was a great guy and always friendly- we'd have small chat in the elevator, and he even stepped in once when my roommate was playing Madden.
I worked at the UCLA Store during this time, and I remember asking a particularly tall fellow for his ID when he gave me his credit card (which was not signed in the back). He gave me a funny look and gave it to me, to which I saw the name- Dijon Thompson. After I let him go, my coworker was basically giving me a "WTF" look as to why I was clueless as to who he was. I didn't think much of it.
In 2006- that began to change.
The magic of the Gonzaga game, followed by 13-9, made me realize something amazing was going on. I still can't say I was a true Bruin fan yet, but my interest began to grow. I began to see how our success in athletics was bringing people together in a way I couldn't really describe. All of this triggered something inside of me, something that has lead me to where I am now. I started feeling an investment in the Bruins, and I started feeling the frustrations of the CTS era as it began to end, while feeling the magic of CBH as he guided our team back to prominence.
I graduated in Winter of 2008. My friend had received a scholarship from the Asian Pacific Alumni Association and I was invited to attend her award reception in May of that year. I didn't know it until I came- but the keynote speaker that night was Coach Rick Neuheisel. I couldn't believe it. Being the great speaker that he was, I couldn't help but nod at ever statement he was making about how he'd turn the program around, the history and tradition that is UCLA football and athletics, and how much our support (students and alumni) really mattered. It was then that I began to really devote myself to UCLA and its athletics, because I realized that the two are not mutually exclusive- the entire UCLA experience is a combination of so many things, and the spirit and energy of its athletics compliments its academics.
From that moment on, I stumbled on BN through just using google for a "UCLA blog" since I felt that the official Athletics site was a bit deficient, and we all know about the "great" reporting by the Times and OC Register. I began to read up more and more (again, thanks to BN) about the great history of UCLA athletics- something I would say a vast majority of students at UCLA are not totally aware of.
Thanks to this motivation, not only did I decide to become a better fan, but I also became more involved with UCLA in general and becoming involved with alumni. I think some BNer's went to an event last May where Coach Norm Chow was featured as a keynote speaker- I actually helped play a role in that and I was a liaison with the Coach himself. As a sign of my appreciation for his volunteering, I tried to make it out to as many of the Spring practices just to watch him and the Bruins work their magic. Let's hope he remembers me as that kid who would pester him after practices about being "the keynote" for an event.
Most importantly- I think growing dedicated to being a Bruin made me realize what an opportunity I had in graduating from UCLA. With my season tickets, I was able to bring my father to his first ever football game (not just UCLA, but football in general) against ASU. I had owed it to my father, as a person who came to this country as a refugee, and worked very hard to help me and my family make it to where we are now. Being able to provide for him for once, and getting him to experience the thrill and joy that is a UCLA football game (and football in general), I think was very special. While his eyes couldn't catch up with the action all the time- I knew that he was feeling the energy, and most importantly, he knew the spirit of the school that his son had gone to (and where his hard-earned money went).
So after all of this (and sorry for the length), I hope that all of BN and the lurkers can see from my story how much being a True Bruin Fan is not just some blind devotion to athletics, but to the spirit and strength of the UCLA experience. While I can see why we can be disappointed at students/alumni who are not as involved, but I hope my story shows that through the work here at BN, we can get more people out there and truly appreciate the value that our Bruin athletes and their programs have offered to the UCLA experience.

Ladies and Gentlemen – Meet the Flintstones
In the evolutionary chain of technology, I am somewhere between the Greg Swanns and Dustin Luthers of this world and, well, the Flintstones. Let's just call me the missing link.
My generation wasn't born into a world where computers, much less websites and blogs and mash-ups and code, existed. With each new technological advancement, we boomers learned to adapt or face extinction. The majority of us have learned just enough to be dangerous; given enough interest and perceived benefit, we have watched those around us and learned to apply the tools as they were introduced into our society. As for our parents and grandparents, meet the Flintstones. For many (most) of this segment, information technology was introduced too late in their era. My grandmother loves her computer to play Solitaire, but you will never find her converting a PDF to a JPEG or hanging out in a chat room. For all practical purposes, she is a dinosaur. Then there are our children. They have never know a world without personal computers, digital cameras, scanning and faxing. They will not remember a time without YouTube or MySpace except when these things are replaced with more advanced applications.
So, here comes the Redfin segue. Steve and I have been having some lengthy discussions lately about the Redfin model and its potential for broad success. Sure, we are a little short in the recreational-life category, but it has been a topic of discussion because I was recently invited to meet with Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman to "chat". This being the eve of that meeting, it seemed apropos to reflect on the topic.
From my vantage point, this is the $64 question: How will Redfin succeed where so many others have failed? Or, rather, who is their audience? HelpUSell, Zip Realty and other discount business models have had a limited audience at best; they are not, nor do I believe they will ever be, setting the world on fire and achieving significant market share. Of course, Redfin is approaching the issue from a standing-on-their-head perspective. While they pay lip service to the listing side of the equation, their real target is the coop fee and the buyer. I'm no Warren Buffet, but I think it safe to say that they can not survive by capturing only the limited market of card-carrying do-it-yourselfers. As Steve points out, there are simply too few of these to fill the seats and the box receipts would be insufficient to continue producing the show. Therefore, I suspect that they have a long-term vision of success involving preying on the young.
The young, the Jetsons, are more than comfortable with all things web-based and are more than willing to spend hours upon empowered hours at the keyboard. It is too late for the Flintstones, of course. They will continue to shun disintermediation. Which leaves us with the biggest segment of the home buying pool – The missing link.
Where the internet revolution is concerned, I can hold my own, but like most of my peers, I have to balance competing demands. Taking the average home buyer, they could spend their time looking under every Zillow and Realtor.com and Trulia and Oodle rock to find their dream home, and they could learn enough about the dynamics and mechanics and legalities of the process to ensure at least a modicum of protection, and they could associate with a Redfin to facilitate the consummation of their purchase to "save money". Why won't they? They have those "job-things". They have families. They have many obligations, many interests, and limited time. Jeff Turner said it best. He is certainly knowledgeable and capable enough to do it himself, but he doesn't want to be disintermediated. For me, I could certainly re-roof my home given enough time to research and implement the project; I'm a smart girl. I simply choose not to. I find it a much wiser, much more mature approach to pay someone to do what they do so that I can focus on doing what I do.
Which leaves us with the Jetsons. If I am correct in my assessment that this is indeed the audience to which Redfin wishes to perform, I think they may find some initial applause, but there will be no encore. Our children, teenagers, twenty-somethings are going to one day find themselves with those "job-things" and with families and with social interests… and with limited time.
Why did Glenn schedule a meeting with me? Redfin is coming to San Diego. Why did he think it was important that he tell me personally (immediately prior to his scheduled meeting with the San Diego Union Tribune)? Free marketing, of course. I have dutifully obliged. Now I am looking forward to hearing just how he plans on shaking the very Bedrock of our industry.Related posts:

You clearly underestimate yourself as you are clearly thriving in this online world!
Meeting with Glenn is inevitable a memorable experience…
Kris Berg January 30th, 2007 11:03 am
Oh-oh. Does this mean I need to wear my "fancy" clothes?
ardell dellaloggia January 31st, 2007 10:47 am
No one in Seattle wears fancy clothes It's the home of grundge where dress casual is considered dressed up. Microsoft and Google employees (and many others) pride themselves on the fact that they can wear shorts and bike to work. In fact most companies here offer incentives for those who bike or take the bus to work.
It's a fabulous society where the dress expectation is khaki shorts and a tea shirt for boys and comfortable shoes for women. I personally like fancy rain boots.
I'm wondering if meeting Glenn will have the same effect on you that it did on me. We want a full report.
Kris Berg January 31st, 2007 11:16 am
We are going to try to podcast the meeting. I'll report back. (Compromised on the attire – Black jeans, elegant in their simplicity. :))
And, exactly what "effect" did it have, or would that be giving away too much?
ardell dellaloggia February 1st, 2007 1:38 am
I don't want to inluence your thinking in any way. I'll be happy to compare notes after you do it. But he's right here you know…not like some "visiting dignitary" to San Diego LOL. Just one of the guys around here. and you know, to me he's one of the young Geeky Boys like Dustin and Galen and Robbie. It's kind of cool to be older than everyone
I' am SO Happy that Greg put the pictue to all Kris' posts in for me. I missed you. I mentioned it in my interview with Dustin and WaLA…ask and it show be given to you.
Not that I don't read some of the others. But being able to click on all of Kris' without waded through is really getting me back in touch with your writings.
Sorry for the no visit to SoCal. We opted for the Rockabilly Convention in Vegas April 5-8 instead.
Kris Berg February 1st, 2007 8:00 am
Ardell, First of all, let me express my amazement at the time stamp on your last comment. When do you sleep?
Speaking from our shared vantage point of being older than everyone else, my date with the "devil" was absolutely delightful and way too short. All work and no play. Glenn and his marketing Bwana, Cynthia, were charming, fun and (to my surprise, actually) sincerely comitted to their cause philosophically.
Most importantly, when I mentioned that my children were 14 1/2 and 17 years old, he suggested that I must have had them "very young" (which in fact, they were, but I wasn't). So straight-faced was the delivery that, for just a second, I almost believed he believed it. Gotta love him!
The podcast will come next week. In the meantime, I will tell you that I had such a nice time that I did not request a 2/3rd rebate on my bottle of water. I perceived value and was willing to "pay" for it, which leaves us with the inherent flaw in their model. (Okay, they bought the water).
Glad to hear that you diverted to Vegas. I was started to think I had been stood up.
Kevin Boer February 1st, 2007 5:20 pm
Kris, I met Glenn at Inman in New York, and he's a stand-up guy, very sincere, very committed to innovation, and — as evidenced by his time in the ring with Alan Dalton — willing to take the punches.
I have a different take on Redfin's future; rather than its current client base abandoning them and going with more traditional Realtors, I suspect Redfin will do a "Charles Schwab" and simply move upmarket with them.
Kris Berg February 1st, 2007 5:24 pm
Glenn mentioned meeting you, actually. It seems you and I share a distaste for his Google sidebar ad wording.
Don't know that I agree with your outcome, but we won't know until we know. I'll give him credit for trying.
ardell dellaloggia February 2nd, 2007 12:04 am
"Glenn and his marketing Bwana, Cynthia, were charming, fun and (to my surprise, actually) sincerely comitted to their cause philosophically."
That's what I was hoping you would see and I didn't want to convey in advance. As you said, "Gotta love him!". The Sweet Digs girls who write on the blog are amazing women. Even when I'm "fighting" with them, I just gotta love them. I love Seattle. The people are truly amazing here.
Cynthia Pang February 5th, 2007 6:02 pm
Hi Kris – thanks for the compliment, I think … isn't Bwana a masculine term for master?! That would make me Glenn's boss … I think I like that
Seriously, it was great to meet you and next time we'll focus more on fun.
Looking forward to our next get-together,
Kris Berg February 5th, 2007 7:47 pm
Actually, Cynthia, in context it makes you the boss or master of marketing. By inference, it undoubtedly makes you Glenn's master. You go, girl!

Honda to make F1 return
9:04am Thursday 16th May 2013 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
Honda is set to return to Formula One in 2015 after confirming a partnership with McLaren as engine supplier.
Honda chief executive Takanobu Ito and McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh made the announcement in Tokyo.
The Japanese manufacturing giant quit the sport at the end of 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis. But with F1 due for a major engine overhaul from next season when turbo-charged 1.6-litre V8 powerplants replace the current 2.4-litre V12 units, Honda has decided the time is right to make a comeback.
McLaren and Honda formed one of the most successful partnerships in F1 history from 1988 to 1992, winning 44 grands prix and eight world titles in such a short period of time.
It will bring to end McLaren's long-running engine deal with Mercedes that began in 1995, so far yielding 78 victories, one constructors' and three drivers' championships.
Although Honda had little success with their own team for three years after branching out from 2006-08, their return is seen as something of a coup for McLaren.
Whitmarsh said: "I am delighted to announce Honda and McLaren will soon begin a new chapter of our legendary Formula One partnership.
"It is a partnership synonymous with success. Together, in 1988, we created the most successful Formula One car of all time which was driven to victory 15 times out of 16 (grands prix) by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.
"McLaren and Honda are about to embark on a new and extremely exciting adventure together.
"For everyone who works for both companies, the weight of our past achievements lies heavily on our shoulders. But like McLaren, Honda is a company with motor racing in its blood and its the mark of ambition we both share that we want to re-create past glories and take McLaren-Honda back to the top."

SPOKANE, Wash – The United States Senate is considering the 'Marketplace Fairness Act,' which would allow states to collect sales tax from online retailers.
But it's really not a new tax. Under current law, you are already expected to pay applicable sales taxes online, but retailers are not forced to collect it, essentially giving online retailers the upper hand over brick-and-mortar stores because the final sale price for customers will be cheaper.
Supporters of the act say a sale is a sale – if you have to pay taxes on your purchase in the local store, you should have to pay taxes on your purchase online.
Opponents say it would be difficult for small, locally owned businesses to deal with the nearly 10,000 different tax jurisdictions that exist in the U.S. – each with their own rules and regulations.
However, the proposed online sales tax would only apply to businesses that make more than $1 million dollars a year online.
The rate you pay would be the rate applicable where the product is purchased. For example, if you live in Washington, and you ship your online purchase to your home, you would pay Washington's 8.7% sales tax; in Idaho, it would be 6%.
A vote on passage of the act could come this week.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Pig Out In The Park brings in thousands to delve into their favorite fair-like foods and put diets on the back burner. But this year is a little bit different, because organizers are calling it the largest pig out yet.

Check out the image attached to this post.... We'll see how accurate that ends up being around 10pm tonight. With all the radar trends this afternoon, I'd say Futurecast has a pretty good handle on storm timing. The good news is that the complex of storms coming at us will weaken quite a bit upon arrival in the Carolinas.
The best chance for rain and strong storms will be in western sections of our area between 8pm and midnight. Therefore, Toccoa, Royston, and Clemson will stand a better chance of storms than Spartanburg, Gaffney and Union. The line of storms will most likely fall apart as if gets deep into the Upstate. We'll be monitoring it closely though. Heavy rain and lightning will be the primary threats, but some damaging wind will be possible too.
The line of storms is from a cold front and associated upper low. It's a VERY slow moving system, but should pick up steam over the next couple of days. Tonight's line of storms will weaken as it pushes east, then another round will gear up for tomorrow. Wednesday will bring our best chance of storms all week as that low gets closer to us.
We keep storms in the forecast through the weekend, but they should become more isolated in nature by Saturday and Father's Day.

Proposal for competitive financing of Finnish universities
Six top academics see institutional shortcomings
Bengt Holmström
Kari Raivio
print this
A group of six leading Finnish academics say that universities in Finland should be made to compete genuinely for their financing. According to a statement issued on Thursday, this would raise the quality of teaching and research, and would gradually eliminate duplicated work.
Bengt Holmström
Seppo Honkapohja
, University of Helsinki Chancellor
Kari Raivio
, as well as
Leena Palotie
Olli Kallioniemi
, professors at the Academy of Finland, and
Martti Mäenpää
, managing director of Technology Industries of Finland, said that Finnish universities are too disperse and are afflicted by mediocrity.
The group say that the financing of universities should be based on the quality of education and research, and on competition and constant evaluation - not on the quantity of degrees.
Education could be assessed from within Finland, but international gauges would be needed for research. Under the proposal, only units that have been found to be of high quality internationally would be entitled to have doctoral programmes.
Student satisfaction and the amount of time it takes for them to complete their studies would also be taken into consideration.
The group suggests that universities should specialise in their strong fields, and give up those in which they are weak. The result would be fewer subjects taught in each institution, but stronger units.
"Universities would have to emphasise
those areas in which they are successful, instead of constantly grabbing new areas of teaching for themselves", Chancellor Raivio explains.
There would also be an increase in resources for teaching, a moderate decrease in the number of students, and administrative reforms, so that an external board of directors and the rector would get more power.
The group says that the present tripartite boards are not able to make decisions on re-directing resources, even though such a move would be necessary.
Students would be made to study
more efficiently through tuition fees and education vouchers, which would also make them more demanding customers.
The principle of free education would be dropped: tuition vouchers would be used to cover the fees, which would be available for the amount of time calculated for the completion of a degree - usually five years - with the possibility for two more years of added flexibility.
Students who earn their degrees more quickly would be able to cash in their tuition vouchers as an incentive.
Universities would be allowed to levy fees
on foreign students and thereby engage in academic export. However, they would also be allowed to compete for foreign students with free offers.

Transportation Tax: The Best of the Truths, Rumors and Gridlock
The road to Tuesday's monumental transportation tax vote is paved with truths, rumors and innuendoes. Leave it to the Truth-O-Meter to inspect every bump and crack in the pavement. Since spring, PolitiFact published nearly two dozen stories checking statements about the 10-year, 1 percent sales tax, otherwise known as T-SPLOST. It could raise $8.5 billion over 10 years, after inflation. Want to comment on our transportation tax rulings? Just go to our Facebook page or find us on Twitter. Both sides got it wrong some of the time. Statements by supporters and opponents often fell short of True. And once Election Day is over, we expect the rhetoric to continue. Metro Atlantans love to gripe about traffic. Bring it on. We could go for miles and miles. Read these summaries of our transportation tax rulings below.

The Java API to Android's Telephony Stack
Android is a software stack for mobile phones. It includes a modified version of the Linux OS, middleware (which is the topic of this article) and some applications. The SDK is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the Google Web site. The Android sources also are available and can be fetched from a GIT repository, although some important parts are missing.
As shown in Figure 2, Android consists of a runtime, libraries and application framework modules.
Figure 2 shows only the modules that implement telephony functionality; for a more detailed diagram, refer to the Google Android overview page.
Telephony manager, which is part of the Android application framework, provides a telephony API to user applications. It consists of the android.telephony and android.telephony.gsm Java packages. This official telephony API is fully documented in the Android developer reference guide, so I don't describe it here in detail. It is far more interesting to check what important functionality is not included in this API, which turns out to be quite a lot. The current Telephony Manager API is mostly limited to providing phone and network status information, such as call state (idle, offhook or ringing), network operator name, roaming state and so on. The only parameters you can change are network operator name and selection mode, using the setOperatorName() and setIsManualSelection() calls, respectively. And, the only action you can perform is SMS, using sendDataMessage() and sendTextMessage(). This API is rather spartan to say the least, and it lacks many important functions. For instance, it is hard not to notice that all voice-call-related functionality is missing, yet some (platform) applications, such as Phone, manage to implement it.
Not only is this API not sufficient to create any useful telephony applications, it also is rather inconsistent. There is no clear architecture behind the class structure, and it is not obvious how support for other RATs (radio-access technologies) apart from GSM, such as CDMA200 and LTE, will work.
The first thing you discover when you look at the Android telephony API in detail is that it is not fully open. There is a lot of important functionality in the com.android.internal.telephony package. For instance, the Phone application uses this internal API to make/answer a call and access the SIM. This API is not documented. It can and probably will change in the future, and generally, it is not intended for use by applications that are not part of the Android platform—so much for the "All applications are created equal" motto. Fortunately, this API is documented pretty well in the source code of the Base framework module, which can be found under the frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony directory inside the Android sources.
The architecture block diagram shown in Figure 2 implies that privilege—that is, platform telephony applications use the com.android.internal.telephony package, although mortals are stuck with android.telephony.
This internal framework module communicates via UNIX domain sockets with the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) dæmon rild, which is written in C as one would expect (not Java). The majority of the telephony functionality of the RIL dæmon is implemented in the RIL library. Both the RIL dæmon and the library sources, along with a reference RIL driver, can be found under the hardware/ril directory. The RIL dæmon communicates using AT commands with either the RIL kernel driver (via the read/write interface when it is running on real hardware) or with the SDK emulator (via the socket interface). The RIL kernel driver is probably just a dumb pipe that forwards AT commands to the baseband processor via the appropriate hardware interface. Unfortunately, this part of Android telephony is neither documented nor open source. There is only a so-called reference RIL implementation in the hardware/ril/reference-ril directory. So, one has to guess what exactly goes on down there on real hardware. The reason this part is not open source is probably the same reason as the one that prevents some companies from releasing Wi-Fi firmware—regulations in many countries do not allow for manufacturers to provide direct access to radio hardware to end users.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Twilight Watch—Attack of the Wolves, Part One: Meet Alex Meraz
Alex Meraz. Photo by John Russo.
It's (unofficially) Wolf Day! Just as Summit Entertainment releases new footage from Twilight: New Moon, featuring the pumped up and fluffed out Wolf Pack, VF.com brings you two exclusive interviews from some of the newest Twilight saga cast members.
First up is Alex Meraz, who, judging from the snarling werewolf he plays in the following clip [click past the jump], is not one to take kindly to pestering questions. Luckily for us, he was up for discussing life on set, bonding with his pack-mates at the gym, and exactly what he thinks about each of his fellow wolves. Little Gold Men caught up with Alex on the road—literally—as he was driving through his home state of Arizona.
Little Gold Men: How did you end up getting cast in New Moon?
Alex Meraz: It was pretty conventional. I got a breakdown for an open casting call—they were looking for Native actors—and I submitted my stuff and luckily I got a role. One of the casting directors was kind of the Native American liaison. I had been cast in another one of her films. I sent her my original casting tape. She liked it, but she thought we could do better. So she brought me in to L.A., I gave it a whirl, and I eventually got the role.
Had you seen the first Twilight movie?
No, I hadn't, but after I got the role, I bought a bootlegged version and watched it while I was on set.
What was your favorite scene to shoot?
The cliff diving scene was the most fun because the whole Wolf Pack was there and we were jumping off these 50-foot scaffolding things onto an air mattress. It was pretty exciting to be able to do our own stunts.
You didn't have stunt doubles at all?
No! They were pushing for it, we were pushing against; we wanted to do our own stuff. We had to train for a good two days, eight hours each day just practicing jumping, making sure we were landing safely. On the day [of shooting], we were actually jumping from a green screen cliff but it was actually taller and a little bit more dangerous because there was foliage and grass on top of it—it was a little slippery. We were fine, and it was really fun.
What was it like having to come together and bond as the Wolf Pack?
We were entirely new, and it was a lot easier. We relied on each other to get through everything. There was so much to learn, but it was organic. We spent a lot of time together at the gym, and that's what helped. As far as the original cast from Twilight, they were really cool. We didn't spend much time with them because all of our scenes were really just with the Wolf Pack. It was easy.
Taylor [Lautner] did have some experience from the first film …
His bigger role was coming in New Moon, so he was new to it, too. We kind of all learned together. Taylor's an amazing person. He really knows how to even everything out for himself—the work, the play, the socializing. He's a really smart guy. I look at him as being a little man.
What did you do during your downtime on the set?
We showed each other exercises. Taylor would show some of his workout, I would show some of mine. We'd practice martial arts tricks … just goof off! We had a great time. That's part of what our characters were like anyway. We're supposed to be frisky, friendly—like brothers. I think everyone on set was affected by it because they were always looking forward to the days when the Wolf Pack would film … everyone was really excited. They knew we were going to bring a different kind of energy.
Did you receive any guidance from any of the other actors on set?
At that point, you've got yourself a job. There's nothing that anyone else is really going to teach you. I didn't have anyone holding my hand when I did the audition. What I did to get the job is what I had to do on film. In terms of everything else that was coming with that, with the fame and all of that stuff, [director] Chris Weitz and Kristen [Stewart] had the best advice to give me.
Can you say what that was?
Not really. It was between me and them.
Fair enough. Well, have you seen the finished film?
Just scenes.
Are you going to see it with the wolves?
At this point, I don't think that's going to happen. That's what they promised us, though. [Laughs]
What was it like filming the third installment, Eclipse?
It was no pressure. The pressure was doing the job on the first one, trying to understand the character. On this one, I felt a little bit more comfortable with what I was doing. I already knew the cast, so it was a lot easier.
Has much changed since you've started filming the Twilight movies?
Well, I've got a lot more family members now! [Laughs] I don't know, people say after the movie opens things are really going to change. I'm getting a lot of meetings with really great directors and producers—people I really admire. It's a really good gig to have. The fans are amazing. They're really the ones that are changing everything for each actor.
You have thousands of Twitter followers …
I know! It's only been like a week and a half since I got my Twitter [account]! It's pretty cool. For the first week, no one believed it was me, so I had to put a picture of me holding my name. It looked like a mug shot! It was pretty ridiculous, but it's really cool knowing you have really enthusiastic fans that want to hear about what you do on a day-to-day basis.
What is it like now having all of this crazy press attention?
I've been doing a lot more interviews. I was a little more intimidated by it all about four months ago when I finished wrapping New Moon, but I've been doing smaller interviews and going to red-carpet premieres and things like that. I've gotten used to it; I call it my new "norm." But a few months ago I was pretty terrified. It was shocking to me. Now it's part of what I have to do. This franchise demands it. I had to do classes—P.R. classes—just recently. That kind of strengthened all that! I just try to have fun and be myself.
Are you up for some wordplay? Please give me one word that describes some of the New Moon actors starting with the Wolf Pack. OK, Bronson Pelletier [who plays "Jared"] …
Aw, man. [Laughs] Jokester!
Kiowa Gordon [aka "Embry Call"].
Bewilderment. [Laughs] He's always thrust in these crazy situations that … he's pretty young. At 19, I didn't have these crazy things. I mean, I'm 24—I consider myself a man. I have a wife, a son, and I've had some practical life experience. This kid just got thrown into it, so it's new to him. To me he always has this bewilderment about him.
Tyson Houseman ["Quil Ateara"].
He'll know what this means. Vespa. Scooter.
Taylor Lautner ["Jacob Black"]
Taylor! Loyal.
Gil Birmingham ["Billy Black"].
One word is really hard. I would say … intuitive.
Chaske Spencer ["Sam Uley"].
Aw man, love him. Wisdom.
Kristen Stewart ["Bella Swan"].
Aw, she's awesome. I would say badass.
Rob Pattinson ["Edward Cullen'].

Former Crown Paints boss to rescue gym firm Total Fitness
7:00pm Friday 14th December 2012 in News By David Watkinson, Deputy news editor
FORMER Crown Paints boss Brian Davidson, credited with turning around the fortunes of the Darwen firm, has been brought in to run struggling gym firm Total Fitness.
Chairman Graham Hallworth and group finance director Andrew Fortune have left the company, which operates 16 health and fitness centres and has its headquarters in Handforth, near Wilmslow.
Mr Davidson, a former chief executive of Crown Paints, and Warwick Ley, a former partner at turnaround private equity specialist Endless, established RooGreen Ventures this year to provide restructuring advice to struggling businesses.
Their professional relationship dates back eight years to when they worked on the buyout and turnaround of Plaxton Coachbuilders. They teamed up again at Crown Paints, which Endless bought in 2008 from Akzo Nobel for £70m.
Mr Hallworth steered Crown Paints through the buyout and Mr Davidson joined later as CEO and steered it back to profit, before overseeing its sale in 2011 to Danish paints maker Hempel.
Mr Hallworth joined Total Fitness in September 2010 after its management team left. A spokesman for Total Fitness said: "Graham Hallworth and Andrew Fortune have left the business and Brian Davidson and Warwick Ley were appointed to the main board on December 6.
"Despite the economy, the company's performance has improved considerably over the last two years, which stands it in good stead."
Total Fitness has gyms across the North West.

Reviews for Makeover Penne with Vodka Cream Sauce
Sort By :
One of the best pasta dishes I've ever tasted ---
This was a big hit at our home - I will make this again.
Hubby really liked it. I thought it was a little bland but I didn't have any pesto so that could be why. I substituted 14.5 oz of spaghetti sauce for one of the cans of tomatoes because I needed to use it up and my family doesn't like tomato chunks anyway. Also, I substituted 2% milk because we never have whole milk. It was still good but next time I'll make sure I add pesto. Oh and one large onion seemed way too much!
Great recipe. I purchase a store bought oven roasted chicken and cut pieces of the flavorful chicken up and add it to the sauce. I also throw in some frozen peas right before serving. A quick and delicious meal that all my boys (5 of them ) thoroughly enjoy. Don't forget the garlic bread for scooping up the sauce!!!
This recipe was wonderful. I used regular penne pasta instead of the wheat, and added a little more pepper flakes. I will definitely make this again and again!! Super Yum!

Create Your Own Recipe (Part 5): Selecting Recipes
After you have found a slew of recipes that you want to use, you then have to make a final selection. After all, you may find 6 breakfast recipes that fit the criteria and look good but you only have time for 3, how do you choose?
Selecting Recipes
1. Organize
When I am weeding through recipes to determine which ones to choose, I keep the answers to my previous overview questions at hand and divide recipes among those categories. If you are using recipe cards you could scatter them into categories on the floor. If you are using the internet and cookbooks this is a little more challenging. Here is the sample outline that I use for a Once A Month Mom menu:
2. Label
As I find recipes that I want to include I write them in PENCIL under the correct category. If they are baked I put a B in front of the number, if they are in the Slow Cooker I put a SC in front. I also indicate with an appropriate abbreviation the type of meat that is utilized if that is appropriate (ck, bf, pk, saus). If it is a "dump" recipe I put two ** next to it so I know it doesn't require cooking on our cooking day. These abbreviations help me to determine if I am too heavy on certain types of menu items or if I have reached my capacity for an appliance (ie, baking, slow cookers).
Now, I also have to keep in mind not to have too many B's, SC's, or ** on my menu. If I have selected too many B recipes, I will simply decide which one to eliminate (or save for another menu) and erase! Hence, using a pencil. There are times that I do just add, let's say 6 lunches to a menu and then when I am all done I know I have to go back and eliminate two.
3. Eliminate
Needing to eliminate recipes is a sometimes difficult task. The easiest way to determine what you need to eliminate is to decide if you are too heavy on an ingredient, too heavy on an appliance, or too heavy on a task.
Too heavy on an ingredient:
Chicken is a great meat but you don't want it to be your whole menu. You also don't want all of your chicken recipes to be precooked chicken. So are there recipes that can be eliminated to assist with that?
Too heavy on an appliance:
You only have so much time or the oven or so many slow cookers so do you need to consider eliminating a recipe based on this factor?
Too heavy on a task:
If I already have a lot of fresh vegetables to chop for a particular month and I am considering a soup that uses a lot of canned products versus a soup that uses all fresh cut vegetables, I will likely opt for the soup with the canned ingredients. I love fresh vegetables but I only have so much time and I don't want to spend too much time in any given month on chopping.
Like ingredients:
Another factor I look at is "like" ingredients. If I am trying to determine which of two dinner recipes that I want to eliminate, I will look at the ingredients of those recipes in comparison to recipes I have already chosen. When I have recipes with "like" ingredients it helps me to be able to choose the best recipe for my overall budget and shortens my grocery list. This is a simple criteria to use when you are having a hard time deciding.
Overview Questions – Selecting Recipes
1. Organize your recipes into categories
2. Label your recipes with the following symbols and/or ones that you have created for your own use:
- ck = chicken
- bf = beef
- pk = pork
- saus = sausage
- sc = slow cooker
- b = baked
- ** = no cooking required
3. Eliminate recipes if you have too many
- Are my recipes heavy on one ingredient?
- Are my recipes heavy on a certain appliance(s)? Which one(s)?
- Are my recipes heavy on a task? Which one(s)?
- Which recipes share "like" ingredients?
Please feel free to direct questions in the comment section below. However, keep in mind that this is a multi-part series. Please review previous posts for answers before submitting questions and review upcoming topics to see if your question will be answered shortly. Thank you.

10 Responses to "Create Your Own Recipe (Part 5): Selecting Recipes"
Thank you for writing this series! Because of my family's many diet restrictions, I frequently cannot use any of the preplanned menus that are published. I've often tried to workup my own menus, but this series you are writing gives me an outline to work from that speeds up the process immediately.
Thanks again, Tricia!
God bless you!
Thank you for this. You definitely do things that I have not thought of. I am going to incorporate this into my planning and it should make it a lot easier!
So how do you decide what constitutes lunch vs dinner in a recipe? I noticed previous menus tend to have soups as a about half of the lunch items, but I didn't know if there was a reason for it or not.
I agree Tricia… lunch for me is simply re-heat dinner from the night before and but the portion in half to have with a fruit or yogourt or a light rice, soup, sandwich or salad recipe.
i am brand new and am probably asking a question asked, but cannot find the answer. I want to do a few of the Jan 2012 Traditional Menu to start out. I am afraid if I try all at one time, i will be overwhelmed and quit. How do i tell the recipe and shopping list to exclude certain recipes so that once i set the number of servings, the spredsheets for chopping and shopping exclude and include the right ingrediants?
Hey Tricia, thanks so much for doing this series! I can't wait to make my first menu. I have one question: how do you decide how many dinners to have on each menu? I noticed that there is some variation among the various menus, I think anywhere from 5 to 8. Is there a system for deciding? Thanks so much!!

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Construction started Wednesday on a new pedestrian bridge over Valleyhigh Drive in Rochester.
The bridge will be approximately 950 feet long and will be constructed near the intersection of Technology Drive Northwest over Valleyhigh Drive.
The bridge will eliminate the grade-crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists on the Douglas Trail west of IBM.
"We completed other segments of this bridge two to three years ago," said construction supervisor Mike Easley. "And we still have one grid crossing which is considered somewhat hazardous on Valleyhigh Drive. This will take all of the pedestrians and bicycles off any street pavement and separate them from traffic hazards."
Bridge work is expected to be finished next year.
Valleyhigh Drive is open to traffic while the bridge foundations are being constructed. However, both the north and south sides of the road will be closed.

What can Andy Reid DO to make Alex Smith an Elite NFL QB? Win NFL games.
Asymmetric warfare is war between belligerents whose relative military power differs significantly, or whose strategy or tactics differ significantly.
"Asymmetric warfare" can describe a conflict in which the resources of two belligerents differ in essence and in the struggle, interact and attempt to exploit each other's characteristic weaknesses. Such struggles often involve strategies and tactics of unconventional warfare, the weaker combatants attempting to use strategy to offset deficiencies in quantity or quality.[1] Such strategies may not necessarily be militarized.[2] This is in contrast to symmetric warfare, where two powers have similar military power and resources and rely on tactics that are similar overall, differing only in details and execution.
The term is frequently used to describe what is also called "guerrilla warfare", "insurgency", "terrorism", "counterinsurgency", and "counterterrorism", essentially violent conflict between a formal military and an informal, less equipped and supported, undermanned but resilient opponent.
What does a 2-14 team have to do to win in the NFL? Trickeration, Scheme, Better players, Better leadership, all of the above, and More.
Is it even possible in Todays NFL to beat better teams with sub-par players? I guess it depends on whether those players are Lineman or Playmakers. The Chiefs have a wealth of talent in the Trenches. John Dorsey has added to that this off-season, the Chiefs have depth on both lines.
What has been lacking is the play of the players behind the trenches.
The Defensive side of the ball is not getting sacks of the QB and the secondary is not getting turnovers.
Bob Sutton is planning on using un-conventional warfare to make that change. Eight Defensive Backs or Four it really doesn't matter. One Defensive lineman or Two might be not so unusual for the Chiefs on passing Downs. Buddy Ryans' 4-6 is not a staple in the NFL and the Chiefs will utilize it when needed this 2013 season. Will we see 4-3 Fronts? Every available Defensive Back on Deck? Maybe every Defensive Lineman will be on the field. How do opponents plan for what the Chiefs have "Shown" in camp to date?
The Offensive side of the ball is even more of a conundrum. The Chiefs could not score though they moved the ball well last season. Turnovers are the "Mindkillers".
Dune (3/9) Movie CLIP - Fear Is the Mind Killer (1984) HD (via movieclips)
Andy Reid has added TE's and Fullbacks, Jon Dorsey re-signed Dwayne Bowe and signed Donnie Avery. The two new QB's are going to have to be far different in production than what the Chiefs had in 2012. The Chiefs have displayed the "Pistol set" and hired a coach to teach it this off-season. The Chiefs have displayed the Diamond backfield formation and have shown Jamaal Charles in every offensive play-maker position except TE. Andy Reid is going Deep with Dexter McCluster and Wide with Travis Kelce.
There is a reason that many National pundits like the Kansas City Chiefs, they liked the Chiefs last year too. The Difference is that the 2012 Chiefs Talent now has leadership, scheme, and the "Will" to be unconventional in the actual games.
We are going to "Bushwhack" some teams this year and we are going to "Beat the Crap out of them" too.

Thousands of residents up and down the Jersey coast could soon be impacted by new FEMA flood regulations, and are left in limbo about whether they will have to raise their homes or not.
In an open letter to residents Ocean City Mayor Jay Gillian is publicly calling out FEMA for issuing what he calls seriously flawed flood guidelines and issuing new flood maps based on incomplete data and analysis.
"We all know the maps were not done scientifically. They were rushed through," Gillian said.
After Hurricane Sandy, FEMA placed thousands of homes in what is referred to as the "V" zone or a severe flood zone. Which could have major ramifications for homeowners.
"Confusion. People are really nervous. I mean this their stock. Their homes are everything," Gillian said.
Many houses held up fine during Sandy, but many of those houses are now in the V zone or the flood zone,which may require them to be raised.
"One day you read a letter saying that the V zones are going to stay V zones the next day you read a letter saying be optimistic some of the things may not stay v zones."
Kristin Young is just one homeowner in the middle of this mess. Her house was raised, but is still sitting on blocks waiting to be lowered on a new foundation.
Kristen has voiced her concerns along with many others in South Jersey, but now it's a waiting game.
"Please be patient and know that, you know the city of Ocean City is working really hard to get all of the facts and information so we can save these properties and continue to make your home worth what its worth," Young said.
City Officials in Ocean City are scheduled to meet with coastal engineers to help correct the problem.
As for Kristin she's not holding her, breath but is hoping for the best.
"I just hope the township fights for the V zones to be allowed in some places and I think they will cause they know the maps are wrong," Young said.
All Cape May County mayors are scheduled to meet with state commissioners tomorrow to discuss possible revisions and new information will be posted on ocean city's web site.

The level of freight shipments in March measured by the seasonally adjusted Freight TSI of 116.7 is 0.8% below the all-time high level of 117.7 in November 2013 and is 3% higher than the same time during 2013.
The February index was revised downward to 114.9 from 115.2 in last month's release while the monthly numbers for October through January were all revised up slightly.
The Freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments by mode of transportation in tons and ton-miles, which are combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines and air freight.
"The March increase in the freight index reflected growth in all modes except pipeline," said DOT in its report. "Trucking and rail intermodal grew most rapidly. March was the second month in a row that trucking and rail intermodal were the fastest growing modes. The growth in trucking represented continued recovery from unusually severe winter weather that hampered freight shipments in earlier months."
The department noted the decline in the Freight TSI in December and January and its rebound in the succeeding two months took place while gross domestic product growth slowed to an annualized rate of 0.1% during the first quarter of 2014 from 2.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Scotland is within touching distance of independence, according to a poll for The Times which reveals that Alex Salmond's campaign to leave the United Kingdom needs only three more points to claim victory. With 16 days to go until millions of Scots vote in the referendum, a YouGov poll put support for independence at 47 per cent, against 53 per cent who say they want to remain part of the UK. After months of stagnation, support for separation has risen by eight percentage points in a month. A YouGov poll at the start of August put approval of the Yes campaign at 41 per cent. Two weeks later it had risen to 43 per cent, though the anti- independence vote stood at 57 per cent, a 14-point lead. Now the lead has shrunk to six points, suggesting that the momentum is firmly with the nationalists. Undecided voters are twice as likely to choose independence when they come to vote on September 18, according to YouGov, which also reports that some voters have switched sides in recent months. There will be particular concern in Westminster about a change of heart among Labour voters. The proportion supporting independence has risen from 18 per cent to 30 per cent in a month. This comes after Alistair Darling, head of the Better Together campaign and a former Labour chancellor, performed poorly in the second television debate with Mr Salmond, the first minister and leader of the Scottish National Party. Just over one in fo
Israel has formally annexed nearly 1,000 acres of the occupied West Bank, the largest land grab in 30 years, according to activists. The unexpected move is likely to be a precursor to illegal settlement construction. Palestinian officials warned that it would further hinder any chance of restarting stalled peace talks. Israel declared as "state land" 988 acres (400ha) in the Gush Etzion region, southwest of Bethlehem. The Israeli organisation Peace Now called it an "unprecedented" land grab. A senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation said it was a step towards "liquidating" its national movement. The decision appeared to catch even some Israeli officials by surprise. Yair Lapid, the finance minister, said that he was not told of it in advance. "We are against any swift changes in the West Bank right now, as we need to go back to some kind of
Britain is considering a bombing campaign against militant Islamists in Iraq, David Cameron said yesterday as his attempt to fill gaps in the anti-terrorism laws descended into coalition acrimony. The prime minister emphasised that the UK remained committed to the humanitarian relief effort in the region and supported military efforts by the United States. Yet he also opened the door to participation in airstrikes, to counter the growing threat posed by Islamic State (Isis) jihadists. If the UK were judged to be at risk, he would act "immediately" and get parliamentary approval afterwards, Mr Cameron said, potentially sidestepping an obstacle to British participation but risking the ire of MPs and sections of the public who are opposed to involvement in a fresh conflict in Iraq. Only 35 per cent of people believe that the UK should launch airstrikes a
