Add me to what is sure to be a very long list of Diana Spechler fans. SKINNY will be my go-to recommendation all year for anyone who wants smart, endearing, beautifully written women's fiction.
- Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of The One That I Want and Time of My Life
Diana Spechler writes like a dream. In Skinny, she masterfully explores the relationship between food and pain, between love and heartbreak. And what Spechler most magically captures is the elusive feeling of longing. And how, on its other side, we sometimes find what we needed all along.
- Laura Dave, author of The Divorce Party and London Is The Best City in America
Spechler's meditation on the nature of hunger is both touching and surprising, as Skinny boldly explores the connection between our emotional and physical appetites. Her characters and their stories stayed with me long after I put her book down.

...a fascinating look at the intersection between food and love and loss...as smart as it is heartbreaking.

The best thing about this book was how it puts you into Gray's reality, more than most of the books I've read in the last few months. You feel her pain, her urgency, her elation, and her need to be authentic.
- The Readers Cafe (full review)
Although Skinny is a novel and isn't meant to be an éxposé on the weight-loss industry or a guide to resolving one's issues with food, many readers will relate to Gray and her struggle to find peace with herself, her body, and her parents.

I went up front to the main road 'meadow' to see if there were any more buckeye cats on the agalinis. I had just started looking and found this "big buckeye"! :)
The cat hasn't moved off the agalinis, so I'm thinking it's probably ready to make its cocoon. I brought the cat in to a cage and put a piece of fresh agalinis in with it in case it's still eating. I've never found a salt marsh moth caterpillar on the same host plant twice, they're real generalists. It kept its head down at all times, so I couldn't see its head to see if it has the diagnostic yellow line, but I'm pretty sure this is a salt marsh moth cat. I think they're very attractive, and the adults are beauties! Sherry |

I rarely see these anymore. When I was a kid in Toledo, I found them on milkweed very often. |
Excellent photo, Miss Sherry. Bob |

I think these caterpillars (commonly called Wooly Bears) wander extensively before settling in for the winter, and their palates are not very selective because they eat a large variety of plants. I have fond memories of these caterpillars, too. I have never found one in OKC, but found a lot of them in SE Kansas where I grew up. Susan |
- Posted by misssherry Z8/9MS (My Page) on Fri, Sep 14, 12 at 21:38
Well, to my surprise, the cat ate some of the agalinis, so I added more to the cage. I don't know when it will cocoon, probably soon. I hope these moths aren't getting scarce! Sherry |

InfoComm 2014: New in HDBaseT Products, Part 1
Jun 5, 2014 10:01 AM, With Bennett Liles
So the HDBaseT gear won't let you get into too much trouble. Now, at InfoComm last time we heard a lot about 5Play and this time around we're going to be hearing a lot about HomePlay. What is the difference between the 5Play we're used to hearing about and HomePlay? Refresh us on 5Play.
It refers to the five elements of being sent over an HDBaseT link and those elements are high-definition uncompressed video, audio, Ethernet, controls and power. HomePlay is, of course, based on the 5Play feature set, but it adds to that the new HDBaseT to the old capabilities that we've mentioned such as networking and USB 2.0 support, for example. The reason we chose the term HomePlay is that the new spec is designed to bring the quality and user experience to consumer homes. So it really is tailored to address the needs of whole home connectivity rather than the point-to-point connectivity that 5Play was all about. [Timestamp: 4:57]
Sometimes when we hit the show floor at InfoComm we're inundated with new buzzwords and tech terminology but I have to congratulate the HDBaseT Alliance on keeping things very clear and organized in marketing and press releases. HDBaseT has turned out to be one of the least confusing new developments. Of course, we have different versions. What was the idea behind HDBaseT Class B?
Class B is quite similar in principal to HDBaseT Class A, or what everyone refers to as HDBaseT, except it does not include support for Ethernet, for the Ethernet feature and the HDBaseT length goes only up to 70 meters, so it's not the full 100 meters of HDBaseT. The idea behind it is quite simple. We wanted to provide the manufacturers with the flexibility to choose a more cost-effective solution when only some of the features are required and only shorter distance is needed. [Timestamp: 5:56]
So if your requirements are fairly light, particularly on the distances to be covered you can save on the hardware now and upgrade later as your needs evolve.
Valens has launched a new series of chips for 4K and digital signage applications. Will we be seeing actual hardware devices with this chipset at InfoComm?
Yeah. We're very excited about the new Colligo series, but we'll only be releasing the Colligo chipsets at this time of the InfoComm show. So while we will not see available products just yet, there will be Colligo chipsets and information kits available and demonstrations of Colligo chipsets. [Timestamp: 6:40]
One of the biggest things about version 1.0 is that it really gave HDMI a much needed boost in its distance capability and now version 2.0 gives USB a huge leap in distance coverage. Has this been the main thing in market penetration for HDBaseT version 2.0?
Well, there's a lot going on with HDBaseT 2.0, but you're absolutely right. The support for USB is a very significant feature in the HDBaseT 2.0 specifications and is one of the main reasons that many manufacturers will migrate to HDBaseT 2.0 products. I think what's nice about it is that it also opens the door for new markets and new HDBaseT applications, for example education or industrial computing or USB over long distances. And they're already looking into HDBaseT thanks to that feature. [Timestamp: 7:33]
There are a lot of possibilities in education where you can stretch USB over far greater distances than before. So when we get to InfoComm, do you know where the HDBaseT Alliance is going to be yet?
The HDBaseT Alliance booth will be at number C6035, and of course you'll be able to find lots of HDBaseT Alliance members across the InfoComm show floor as well and everyone will be showing off their latest HDBaseT products. [Timestamp: 8:00]
It will be hard not to bump into members of the HDBaseT Alliance at the show these days and I appreciate your taking time out to tell us about what's happening with HDBaseT right up to the minute and I hope you have a good show.
Thanks a lot, Bennett.
Thanks for joining us for the SVC Podcast with Dana Zelitzki of Valens and the HDBaseT Alliance. Show notes are available on the web site of Sound & Video Contractor Magazine at svconline.com. Stop by and be with us again next time on the SVC Podcast.

Jeep Wrangler Maintenance and Repair Questions 2007 and newer
smoscato Posts: 5Don't know if this is the right board to put this Q, but what the hey...Just bought a 2007 4-door Unlimited Sahara last weekend. I'm finding that at freeway speeds, the truck bounces up and down a lot as if the road were very bumpy -- kinda makes me car sick This is my first Jeep -- is this typical Wrangler behavior, or do I have a tire balance problem?
Would appreciate any feedback.
-Stefano -
mac24 Posts: 3,910It's not typical for the previous model, and the suspension layout is little changed for '07. However, I believe that spring rates and shock settings have been altered to give a more car like ride. It's definitely not a typical description of a tire problem.
A certain way to check is to see if you can drive a similar model to compare behaviours. -
boobah Posts: 18Hey there,
I ran into a guy who had the same problem..I can't remember what he called it...Jeep told him it was normal...he thinks it's a suspension problem, and is pretty nervous driving at high speeds...I'd go back to the dealer and raise hell..a car shouldn't do that anywhere, but especially on a highway...Good luck. -
pkear Posts: 26I have the same jeep and have no problems with "bouncing". The suspension is stiffer than most SUVs and when I hit a bump with any speed it is a little hard however it rides on smooth pavement as smooth as anything else I have ever driven. I would think you have some problem either with tires or suspension and need to have it checked out at the dealer.
macthethird Posts: 1Getting a high pitch squeal out of the transmission input shaft bearing sounds odd... I have not had a Chrysler 6 speed transmission apart but most manual transmissions have roller bearings on the input shaft. If it is squealing, the pitch will rise with the RPM, but usually they just grind. My guess is a timing belt idler pulley. I believe there are 2 on the 3.8.

jemmac Posts: 2I have a 2007 Jeep Sahara Unlimited. Recently I had to have the windshield replaced because of a crack from a rock.
I went to a reputable glass place and had the windshield replaced.
What I noticed after replacement was a high pitched noise (which sounds like a teapot coming to boil) at
speeds between 30-45 MPH. I took the jeep back a week later
and they replaced the windshield again.
The results were the same only the speeds at which they occurred was 40-60 mph.
As you know the windshield has no molding. Has anyone experienced this and found a reasonable solution?

clewsew Posts: 7I have a 2007 Jeep X Unlimited with an automatic and I also have the squeal that you describe at about 1800 RPMS - roughly 2200 RPMS. The dealer mechanic said that it sounds like normal engine noise to him. I want to drive another Jeep to see if I can reproduce the noise. We shall see.
clewsew Posts: 7Update:
I went to the dealer to pick up the Jeep and asked if I could test drive another Jeep to see. It made the same squeal and it was new off the lot, mine having just over 400 miles.
A good friend of mine also did some research and found that it may be some venturi noise through the intake. He said that there have even been some complaints from owners of the Mini-van with the 3.8L engine. After hearing that and experiencing the same noise from another Jeep I feel much better. May be a "character" trait of the new engine.
Hope that this helps... -

comkrom Posts: 6there should be spray foam insulation in the windshield pillars.Maybe the windshield repair place removed some of this foam.Remove the trim around the windshield and spray foam into openings. them TAPE all open "slots' for an hour or so foam does not leak out of slots. and then re-install trim
kman18 Posts: 1Hi all. I'm a proud owner of a new 2007 Wrangler Sahara, but I'm getting really frustrated with the soft top. The plastic Swing bar brackets do not stay in place on the rail, specially when I tuck in the soft top. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fixes? Also on rainy days the top leaks water into the car at the top of both doors right above the door handles, again...anyone else?
Thanks! -
motherofdomi Posts: 2Hey man. I've been having the same problem with my 2007 wrangler. The soft top leaks from both sides onto the tops of the door handles when it rains. I've brought it back to the dealer 4x and they have had it for 4 weeks this past time trying to fix it. I have recently filed a complaint with the BBB and I'm also filing a lawsuit against Chrysler under the lemon law. I advise you look into doing the same. it's obviously a problem that can't be fixed... Good luck.
motherofdomi Posts: 2If anyone has had a problem with a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Soft Top Leak, Please post a reply. The leak typically drips to the tops of the door handles on either or both sides. It usually only happens when it rains. I have brought the Jeep back to my dealer 4x and they have not been able to fix it. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and am also filing suit under the lemon laws of NYS. Any feedback would be helpful.

Originally appeared in Children's Vision Concerns: Looks Beyond the Eyes
This chapter has been done in response to the need for understanding and respect for the Cortically Visually Impaired (CVI) children's perspective. Since they generally seem to "see," it is easy to overlook cognitive implications related to the seriousness of the influence of CVI on processing visual messages. Too often, I have gone into programs where children with obvious CVI do not have their visual challenges incorporated into their profile. My heart is heavy when I recognize that their intervention parallels that of sighted peers, yet their ability to process is different, without benefit of this primary organizing sense. Families, too, deserve to understand the diagnosis, so that they can learn to cue their child in ways that will help promote purposeful involvement with their world, whether it means lifting a finger to touch an object, or developing tools for real independence.
The diagnosis of Cortical Visual Impairment or Insufficiency (CVI) is difficult to understand, although it is a leading cause of vision problems in children. Part of the challenge is that it reflects problems in the processing part of the visual system which are often difficult to define. In addition, many children with CVI don't "look" visually impaired, so the condition may go unaddressed for quite some time, especially if there are other medical issues that are a major focus.
With Cortical Visual Impairment, the eyes, which gather the visual information, generally "look good", with the pupils responding and no sign of disease. The optic nerves may also appear normal, indicating that messages can be transmitted from the eyes to the occipital cortex (vision related part of the brain). Yet, the child does not appear to be "visually sparked" or motivated to use vision to scan for details.
Of primary importance is the child's history. Was the gestation normal? Was there birth trauma? Did the child stop breathing? Is there a history of hydrocephalus, cysts or brain malformations? Was there other illness including high fever, meningitis, or a metabolic disorder? Was there an accident or insult to the head? Near drowning? Anything that could have altered the brain's transmission of impulses related to processing and sifting visual messages may contribute to the diagnosis.
All CVI children deserve to have input from the perspective of being seriously visually impaired. This means that with vision, the primary integrating sense, not giving clear incidental information, the child must learn to accommodate. Any activities that will help tie the world together and build on the innate curiosity to discover consistencies, the foundation for learning, will make a difference:

I have seen posts here and there of people that kept their existing oak cabinets and did great kitchen remodels around them by staining or painting them. I would love to see them.
All of this is helping me get ready for my own oak cabinet transformation to be completed by spring. Thanks so much! Any tips on hiding some of the graining that is common with oak? (putty recommendation perhaps)

gmp3 - GREAT update! What granite do you have? And what color did you paint your cabinets? I love how you removed your island and installed a penisula for seating instead! |
- Posted by fabricmarilyn (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 16:01
I was so glad to see this forum as I too have been searching for the best process to either paint or stain my oak kitchen cabinets. I will start with my ulitily room cabinet, and if I like the look I will then proceed to the kitchen. My floors are light ceramic tile and my backsplash is tuscan 4" cream tiles. Don't know if white or cream cabinets would look good? The oak cabinets go well, but I want a new look in the room and definitely want to update the cabinets and island. Should I paint the cabinets cream with all my other light colors. The floor and blacksplash are fairly new and will not be replaced. Help, you guys are so good at tackling these projects and they look great. I am amazed at your skills! Marilyn |
I forgot the color we had them painted, but I think it was something like "linen" or "canvas" I brought the samples to the cabinet dept in Home Depot and matched them to cabinets I liked. I had someone spray them with BM satin Impervo, there were too many doors drawers for me to handle. I may get them glazed in the future, just waiting a bit to see how they wear. We actually moved the cabinets from the island to make the penninsula, and faced them with beadbord on the back side, and had the floors refinished. I HATED that island, and love the seating. The granite is Santa Cecelia Napoli. I am very happy with the way it turned out and it was inexpensive, especially because I have so many cabinets, replacement would have been out of the question for us. |
gmp3, can you give details of the paint color you used, the hardware you used and how you added the siding to the cabinets? Did you paint them yourself? They are so perfect! I love your updated kitchen. I also love the granite color and would love to know what it is. |
Beeskeeperswife, I also love the changes you made to your kitchen with your cabinets now being the star of your kitchen. Do you have a close up of your counters and the details since it looks pretty with the white kitchen. Thank you! |
Lynn2006, we added beadboard to cover all the fake wood side panels and to build out the penninsula, and trimmed it with 3" trim on the base cabinets only. My husband built up the corner cabinet and hutch area to give a bit of height variance, and we added glass to 3 doors. My hardware is oil rubbed bronze, purchased on eBay. I didn't replace the hinges and painted them with spray paint instead (they would have been $6 each and I needed about 80 of them). |

Wow. I am wanting to restain my oak cabinets a darker color, and was very interested in this post, and then read where gmp3 took out island and replaced with the peninsula. That is exactly what I want to do. I even made my husband come in here and look! Thanks for posting. Ya'lls cabinets look nice, too. |
- Posted by celticmoon (My Page) on Tue, Jan 5, 10 at 21:39
Celticmoon - your kitchen is fabulous! You went from really crummy to custom chic! Your expresso color and brushed nickle hardware are perfect for those slab front cabinets and the rest of your decor. I love these amazing low-budget redos more than some of the $75K kitchens! I may do a bathroom cabinet with the gel stain. The vanity has cheapy fake wood sides - does the gel work there too? |
gmp3, thanks for letting me know that you had fake sides also to your cabinets and how you covered it and then also added trim. I am still in the middle of deciding what to do about my fake worn out oak cabinets that look nice from far away but up close one can see how worn out they are and that underneath in some areas the particle board is now showing since the plastic shiny brown stuff came off. For fake cabinets mine do not look that bad but they are 20 years old and I have to make a decision on what to do about them since I am trying to make my kitchen beautiful for me, for when visitors come by, and for potential resale value in case I sell one day. Thanks for letting me know that the knobs are oil rubbed bronze bought on EBay. Celticmoon, I always love seeing your kitchen transformation. |
Our kitchen cabibets are in the process of being painted. We decided to hire a professional to do the job as I could have never done it myself.

My brother was cleaning his room the other day and found two objects that he's had for the last 26 years that have holes in them. He asked me if I would please fix them. The gingerbread man matters the most - my grandma made him for my brothers 24 years ago.
I have the correct brown to fix this, but not the pink or green. I could find matching thread quite easily. This is crocheted. This is what I'm most concerned about: I have an idea of how to fix this: This one doesnt matter as much. It's knitted. I don't have any way of getting matching yarn, but I don't think it matters much. Garter stitch border: There's a stitch missing there, and there IS a end. I have no idea how this happened. This is in the middle. It's stockinette. Thanks for any help! ~ Kit |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kit, I'll try. For the hole in the ginger bread man, you will just have to darn it closed. For the white bobble, you can either make a new one and replace it or tack the pull in place. For the pink chain edging, it looks like the stitch was stretched. See if you can work it back in place with a crochet hook. If not, tuck it back and tack it so it can't be seen. As far as I know, there is no other way to fix the hole in the body. On the knitted piece, I can't be much help with the edges. On the hole in the middle, take a crochet hook and fix the stitches back together, then tack them where they should fasten. Try to do any tacking as invisibly as you can, and you can use regular sewing thread to do it. It won't be as pretty and perfect as it was originally, but will still be a nice keepsake and can be gently used. If they aren't fixed somehow, they will continue to come apart and your brother won't even have them for the memories. Maybe someone else can give you better suggestions, but this is what I and another lady I know have done in the past. Tami |
How... do I darn? Thanks for the other suggestions, though. I think I'll work on that tonight! ~ Kit |
To darn, you very carefully do a weave, like basket weaving. First stitches going one way, then weave stitches the other direction. For the hole on the gbm, take brown thread, doubled and knoted. Then carefully pull the stitches back into place, making sure all loose ends are caught. You might not even really see the repair unless you look really hard. Tami |

Announcing upcoming titles set in the Star Wars (TM) universe |
News | Published 02 August 2011 |
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce that it has entered a comprehensive licensing partnership with Lucasfilm Ltd. for the worldwide rights to publish card, roleplaying, and miniatures games set in the popular Star Wars™ universe!
"Being able to publish gaming products in the Star Wars universe is quite simply a hobby-game company's dream come true," said Christian T Petersen, CEO of Fantasy Flight Games. "I'm confident that both Star Wars fans as well as FFG's regular customers will be blown away by the game experiences we have planned for this legendary IP."
"As a leader in hobby gaming, we're excited to be partnering with Fantasy Flight Games," said Howard Roffman, President of Lucas Licensing. "Fun and adventure are hallmarks of the Star Wars saga, and FFG perfectly captures this in their games."
FFG's first two Star Wars game lines will be the X-Wing miniatures game and Star Wars: The Card Game, both scheduled to launch in early 2012.
Just the beginning...
X-Wing is a tactical ship-to-ship combat game in which players take control of powerful Rebel X-wings and nimble Imperial TIE fighters, pitted against each other in fast-paced space combat. Featuring stunningly detailed and painted miniatures, X-Wing recreates exciting Star Wars space combat throughout its several included scenarios. Select your crew, plan your maneuvers, and complete your mission!
Star Wars: The Card Game pits light and dark side players against each other in tense and dramatic duels for the fate of the galaxy. As the dark side works to snuff out the last remnants of its opposition, heroes of the light side coordinate strikes against key dark side objectives in order to fuel the fires of freedom. You'll command of some of the galaxy's most memorable characters and iconic starships. Wage epic duels between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, send Han Solo and Rebel troopers to engage Imperial forces on Endor's forest moon, or launch a fleet of Star Destroyers from the Kuat ship yards. Star Wars: The Card Game is full of fast-paced, gripping galactic conflict.
Visit our X-Wing website or Star Wars: The Card Game website to learn more, and keep checking back. These two exciting titles are only the beginning, and we'll be announcing additional Star Wars card, roleplaying, and miniatures games in the coming months!
Sooooooooooooooooo excited! If anybody will do Star Wars right, it'll be FFG.
This will be a day long remembered...
Congratulations to FFG for landing the Star Wars license. I'm very eager to see how the LCG turns out. Might be less interested in the starship game … but a lot depends on affordability. Time to save my pennies!
I KNEW IT! The rumors over the past year that FFG was the company that got the license were true. All I want to know now is: When do we get a new edition of the Star Wars RPG? Oh, and a Star Wars adventure game would be nice too.
*weeps with joy* HERE FFG! TAKE MY MONEY!!! TAKE ALL OF IT!!! *weeps more* Now I can command Wraith Squadron.
The best company to take on Star Wars. And now there's an LCG? Now I'll really be broke.
Thank you for releasing X-Wing. It'll be nice to finally get something along the lines of TIE Fighter, a franchise LucasArts seems to ignore the cries for for a remake. Going just classic trilogy first is a very good step in the right direction. I might just ignore all the prequel stuff. I wouldn't mind Clone Wars though. Just the movies I'm done with.
Wow... I had long written off Star Wars to WotC. Glad to see that there is someone trying to breath new life into the franchise. I am less interested in a SW RPG; my group still dusts of the old WEG D6 version from time to time.
This is the greatest thing that has ever happened! I will be buying this LCG and any cool looking epic Star Wars board games for sure. THANK YOU FFG!
Star Wars might be old but it is not garbage. The same holds true for the old favourite Talisman and other games from the 80's now produced by ffg.
This news is as wonderful as it is unexpected. I knew Wizards discontinued the Saga edition but frankly my opinions about that edition were mixed. I look forward to seeing what you plan on doing with the RPG aspects.
also interesting to note...
the licence is for the Star wars universe. and given the card images are not film stills, they're graphic images, the games look like they'll cover the full spectrum of the whole star wars universe.
this is a good move as previous companies have been all about the films rather than the universe as a whole.
uhuuuuuu!!!!! Congratulations to ffg and us, all Star Wars fanboys :)

Reese Witherspoon has just one request if you go out on a date with her—don't correct her grammar. "I had someone correct my grammar on a blind date once, and I knew within the first 10 minutes that the date was over," she said. "I don't even remember what I said – I probably said 'ain't.' Just don't correct my grammar. I'm from Tennessee. I probably say everything wrong." [People]

Hopefully, this week has been a fun one for all you "Mortal Instruments" fans, given all the newsy goodness MTV News got from star Lily Collins and director Scott Stewart at WonderCon. And you know what? There is STILL more to come! Today's installment features lovely Lily talking about all the #awesome #fun she's having on Twitter, writing as her character (@LilyAsClaryFray).
"I'm Tweeting as Clary Fray, and we've got almost 12,000 people now," Lily said. "All the fans are writing in ideas. I'm linking out images of different aspects of the film and set pieces and wanting their input," she explained. "Also knowing who they want as Jace, just making sure they feel as involved as I do because like I said, I'm a fan just like them and I'm Clary, so I want their input because I'm one of them as well."
They have released a new still of Lily Collins and Taylor Lautner from their upcoming movie Abduction. The movie will premiere is USA on September 23, 2011. You can view the still in our gallery, enjoy.
A thriller centered on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website.
On April 13th the trailer for Abduction will premiere, stay tuned to see the trailer and caps here when it's released.
Since playing Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw's daughter in The Blind Side, Lily Collins' career has really taken off. Collins just nabbed the lead in Relativity Media's Snow White project, is set to take on the starring role of 'Clary' in The Mortal Instruments, and she recently wrapped up work on Abduction opposite Twilight's Taylor Lautner. Plus, she'll soon be seen on the big screen in the action-adventure thriller Priest.
The 22 year old actress joined her Priest co-stars Paul Bettany and Cam Gigandet at the 2011 WonderCon in San Francisco to talk about the genre-bending film set for release on May 13th. Check out our exclusive interview to see what Collins had to say about playing 'the screamer' in Screen Gems' Priest as well as a little news on Mortal Instruments:
Source: About.com
Two cinematic reimaginings of Snow White are currently in the works, but lest you think both are going to turn out more or less the same, simply listen to how director Tarsem Singh conceives of his film's look.
"It's actually like if you looked at Gaudi's architecture, based in England, done like a turn-of-the-century Russian film by an Indian guy," he told MTV News.
Right. We're guessing that the competing Snow White tale — from Rupert Sanders, making his directorial debut after a string of hyper-stylized TV commercials — isn't going to encroach on Tarsem's territory, and that's just the way he wants it.
"There's a brown guy telling you a Snow White tale to white people. Just by definition, when you put different ingredients, you get a different stew," he said.
His yet-untitled film stars Julia Roberts as the evil queen, Armie Hammer ("The Social Network") as the handsome prince and, after being cast earlier this month, Lily Collins ("The Blind Side") as Snow White herself. Why Collins, a relative unknown whose profile is on the rise after being cast in the adaptation of the "Mortal Instruments" young adult book series?
"Her eyebrows," Tarsem joked. "I just saw her eyebrows and I said, 'That's Snow White.' "
Appearantly Lily has passed on the movie Odd Thomas, since she choose to take the role as Snow White instead.
It's the lay of the land these days, as rising actors make tough career decisions, trading one high profile role for another. Just as Jennifer Lawrence dropped out of Oliver Stone's "Savages" to take the lead role in "The Hunger Games", now Lily Collins has been confirmed to be officially passing on the adaptation of Dean Koontz's "Odd Thomas" opposite Anton Yelchin after taking the title role in Tarsem Singh's "Snow White" instead. Variety reports today that "Californication" actress Addison Timlin is now in negotiations for the role vacated by Collins, Stormy Llewellyn.

'He's got to have wit but also be very vulnerable,' she tells MTV News.
Although "The Mortal Instruments" movie has found its Clary Fray, via actress Lily Collins, there are still a few big roles to be cast — mainly one Jace Wayland, Clary's is-he-or-isn't-he love interest.
We've had some fun speculating about rumored contenders and fan favorites, but when MTV News sat down with Lily Collins at WonderCon recently, we asked her to comment on the heated casting competition — specifically, what they're looking for in their future Jace. (Head to our Hollywood Crush blog for everything we've got on Cassandra Clare's fourth "Mortal Instruments" book, "City of Fallen Angels," which hits stores Tuesday.)
"Jace is confident and knows he's confident," Collins explained. "He's good-looking and knows he's good-looking. He's got that je ne sais quoi, in that he walks into a room and you go, 'Wow.' He knows he's the best thing in the room. He's got to have wit but also be very vulnerable, and I think it's hard. I think a lot of actors don't necessarily want to show vulnerability, but [for] this character, it's completely necessary but, at the same time, that overconfidence as well. I think it's going to be that thing where they walk into a room and you do a reading and go, 'Wow, I really can't see anyone else as this character,' so it's going to be an interesting process."
The daughter of pop singer Phil Collins has been making a name for herself in Hollywood. Lily Collins will play Lucy in Screen Gems May 13th 3D post-apocalyptic comic book movie, Priest, alongside Paul Bettany (Legion) and Maggie Q ("Nikita"). The actress, who's best known for her performance as Sandra Bullock's daughter in the Oscar-winning The Blind Side, will step into the coveted role of Snow White in Relativity Media's June 2012 summer release. Collins, who was at WonderCon 2011, talks about Priest, comic books, 3D movies, and video games like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon in this exclusive video interview.
Priest is an action thriller set in an alternate world — one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on an obsessive quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.
Collins will team up with Julia Roberts, who will play the wicked queen plotting to kill Snow White in the new movie. The film will be directed by Tarsem Singh, who was also at WonderCon 2011 showing his new 3D movie, Immortals, starring Superman Henry Cavill.
"Snow White was my favorite fairytale [growing up], and when I first read about the project, I was like, 'I have to get in on this,'" Collins told People Magazine.

I really lucked out with this one. I asked for a 1:1 with Lily Collins for Priest just because I thought the pretty girl from the action movie would be cool. The day before the interview, she gets the part of Snow White in Tarsem Singh's next movie.
Lucy (Collins) is the target of Priest's (Paul Bettany) quest in the movie. She's kidnapped and he goes back on duty to find her. In the footage screened for WonderCon, she hangs from a speeding train.
Q: What an exciting day you must've had yesterday, seeing the Priest footage and landing the Snow White role.
Lily Collins: Yeah, first time in 3D, saw it yesterday, that was shocking. Put those glasses on and I thought that was incredible. I didn't know what the 3D was going to turn into and it was just so amazing and exciting. Yes, and then found out that I was cast as Snow White so it's quite the big day.
Q: And it was April 1st, but it's all true, right?
LC: I know, actually that's the first thing I said when my team called me and told me. I said, "If this is an April Fools joke, I don't know what I'll start to do." Because I was so excited. I had literally read the day before and met the director the day before and then was cast yesterday, so it was less than 24 hours.
'If they don't necessarily see you in the part, that can be an issue,' actress tells MTV News of book series' loyal readers.
Among the movie-obsessed here at MTV News, there is always a lot of talk about highly anticipated upcoming films. Naturally, the summer blockbusters garner their fair share of enthusiasm, but recently, a lot of talk has turned toward the much-buzzed-about book-to-screen adaptations of young adult novels such as "The Hunger Games" and "The Mortal Instruments."
Speaking to director Scott Stewart's adaptation of "Mortal Instruments," MTV News recently caught up with lucky actress Lily Collins, who will portray fan-favorite protagonist Clarissa "Clary" Fray, about what makes the film and book series so special.
"It's an amazing series of books," Collins gushed to MTV News at WonderCon. "Cassandra Clare's books are incredible. I'm a huge fan myself, so to be able to play the heroine I love is incredible. It's a story based on a young woman, an empowered young woman [who is] confident and determined, and she ends up surprising everyone with her abilities," Collins explained. "I think it's incredible for the story to be about a young girl and not one that is just a girl in the story. It really is her story."
Exclusive: Lily Collins talks Priest, Abduction, The Mortal Intruments and The Brothers Grimm: Snow White at WonderCon. I have added a video interview and a written one to this post, enjoy!
Lily Collins has won the actors lottery. I say this because after starring as Sandra Bullock's daughter in The Blind Side, Collins jumped into filming director Scott Stewarts Priest alongside Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Karl Urban, and Maggie Q. A short time after that, she starred alongside Taylor Lautner in director John Singleton's Abduction, which gets released this September. While that would be great for almost any actor, in the past two weeks she's been named the frontrunner to play Stormy Llewellyn in director Stephen Sommers Odd Thomas, and she landed her biggest role to date: Snow White in director Tarsem Singh's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. Needless to say, Collins is about to lose her anonymity.
At this past weekend's WonderCon, I got to sit down with Collins for an extended video interview. We talked about attending her first convention, how she got into acting, her character in Priest, filming Abduction and what it was like to work with Lautner and all his Twilight fans, what's up with Mortal Instruments (talks about how she is tweeting as her character and the movie is filming in 3D), and we end the interview talking about getting cast as Snow White and what can people expect. She reveals they start filming in June and she will be training for "quite a bit of fighting." Hit the jump to read or watch the interview.
Here's the time index. Further down is what she said about Abduction, Mortal Instruments and The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. At the bottom of the page is the video interview.
Lily Collins:
• Collins was busy shooting Abduction in Pittsburgh while Comic Con was going on, so this is her first convention. If she could walk the convention floor, she would
• 1:10 – She comes from a creative family (her father is Phil Collins), and she has acted since she was 2 years old.
• 2:10 – Talks about her Priest character Lucy, who is not in the graphic novel.
• 3:25 – She visited the Starbucks near the Sony lot in costume as
• 4:00 – Talks about filming Abduction with John Singleton, Taylor Lautner, Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist, Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs
• 5:25 – Admires Lautner's dedication to his many fans.
• 6:20 – Collins is a fan of the Mortal Instruments books, so she is very aware of the fan response to her casting.
• 7:05 – Stewart has talked to her about his vision for Mortal Instruments and filming in 3D.
• 7:40 – She is tweeting in character (@LilyAsClaryFray), and there is a Facebook page set up for her to interact with fans.
• 8:30 – She just found out about being cast as Snow White. It's a "dream come true."
• 9:15 – Collins discusses the fairy tale trend in movies. They are "Tarsem-ing" Snow White.
• 10:20 – They start filming Snow White this June in Montreal. She will be training for "quite a bit of fighting" that she'll do in the movie.
Collider: Talk a little about making that film and working with John [Singleton] and Taylor [Lautner] and the experience.
Collins: I just finished shooting three months in Pittsburgh for Abduction. And again, completely different genre — action thriller, very Bourne Ultimatum-esque. Working with John Singleton, who is an incredible director, so enthusiastic and engergetic. Action phenomenon. Taylor Lautner, Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Michael Nyqvist, Maria Bello, Jason Isaacs — Oscar-nominated actors! To be surrounded by them, to learn from them was amazing. That was working almost everyday, high action, high energy. I was so excited when I heard they had shown the trailer and people loved it. I'm very excited about it.

Prepare your ships!
A journey of profit and peril awaits! |
Rogue Trader | Published 23 March 2010 |
Hello Rogue Trader fans!
Before I begin this designer diary, I'm thrilled to announce that Lure of the Expanse is shipping out of our warehouse this week, and will soon be coming to a friendly local game store near you!
With that in mind, I'd like to spend a little more time talking about Lure, and in particular, the adversaries found within.
Rogue Traders and their trusted companions are individuals with vast power, wealth, and influence. Beyond the reach of Imperial authority in the Halo Stars, they are bound by no laws but their own, and potentially the remit of their Warrant. Rogue Traders are free to trade with xenos, wage wars, and even scour planets with the weapons aboard their starships. While that is all very impressive, it does bring up the question—who is powerful enough to pose a threat to these larger-than-life individuals?
In Lure of the Expanse, some of the most dangerous threats the Explorers will find themselves pitted against are other Rogue Traders. While they are all quite competent individually, the true danger lies in the resources at their disposal. Each possesses their own starship (or in some cases, their own flotilla!), and their own vast wealth and considerable influence. And each of them sees the players as rivals in gaining the fabled treasure they know is theirs.
I'd like to take a closer look at one of the rival Rogue Traders in particular, the fellow on the far right. Jeremiah Blitz is a consummate rogue and charming scoundrel, originally a dubious dealer in xenos art objects, not a scion of a famous dynasty. Nobody knows for certain how he claimed a Warrant of Trade, but most stories claim he won it in a game of chance with a Sector Lord of the Adeptus Terra. With singular luck, Blitz left the game possessing nothing—save the promise of a favour of the Sector Lord.
Within the year, Blitz was granted a Warrant and a cruiser, the Ordained Destiny. In short order, Blitz has carved his name across dozens of sectors, with short-term deals and trade arrangements of dubious legality—not to mention vast sums of money from the outright illegal Cold Trade. Blitz is a man of action who relies on his own resources and is not afraid to plunge headlong into a situation. His primary motivator is personal wealth and fame, and he is only reliable as long as he is receiving a steady stream of Thrones. However, he is not unwilling to working with others, especially if it will get him something he could not claim on his own.
His ship, the Ordained Destiny, is a mirror opposite of the man. Where Blitz is cooly competent and not prone to flashy showmanship, his cruiser is gilded and ornate. Much of the hull is plated in gold-leaf, and huge statues of Imperial saints and heroes rise along the dorsal ridge. It's said that the Ordained Destiny was the Sector Lord's way of taking a petty vengeance on the scoundrel. If so, his plan seems to have backfired, as Blitz treats his ship with a backhanded but sincere affection...and has outfitted it with powerful weaponry.
However, rival Rogue Traders aren't the only adversaries in Lure of the Expanse. A foe who strode the stars when man was still trapped on a single world moves against the Explorers. Ancient, mysterious, and powerful, these opponents have long foreseen the Explorers' actions, and now gather to destroy them.
Rogue Trader is a roleplaying game set in dark gothic far future of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players take on the roles of explorers aboard a Rogue Trader's ship, searching for profit and adventure while discovering new alien cultures and threats in the uncharted regions of space.
Scenarios always welcomed.... but still not in the UK as yet 25March2010... and amazon UK nothing arrived from them either....

'Download This Gun' — 3-D Printed Gun Reliable Up To 600 Rounds
Re:The World is not entirely filled with idiots (582 comments)
Failure doesn't stem only from bad design. What happens if there's a slight clog in the 3D printer's extruder that creates a bubble or weak spot hidden within a part? A larger company engineers the manufacturing, not only the part, to be reliable, and does quality-control checks along the way as well. The equipment for such checks isn't practical for a consumer doing a one-off.

DETROIT— Two years before the Chevy Volt reaches showrooms, it's already spawned a variant—the Cadillac Converj.
This plug-in hybrid, four-seat coupe borrows the Volt's 16 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack that runs down the center of the car and a 160-hp electric motor that drives the front wheels. To solve the "range anxiety" problem and extend the Converj's 40-mile range, a small four-cylinder engine rides on board to charge the batteries. Cadillac also included several features to increase battery life. The Converj sports a glass roof covered in photovoltaic cells to power the accessories and a flat floor that reduces drag.
"We sought to give it appeal on its beauty and proportions alone," Bob Lutz said. Up close, it looks like a Cadillac CTS coupe but with a little more edge.
This one fits in the "certainly feasible, but far from certain" category that holds many concept cars. Time will tell if Caddy's version of the Volt ever sees the light of day.—Larry Webster

Master of the Murano Gradual Italian, about 1425 - 1450 Tempera and gold leaf on parchment 8 1/4 x 6 1/2 in. MS. 106, RECTO
This leaf depicts a story from the life of Saint Jerome (about 341 - 420), one of the four doctors of the Church. One day, a lion entered the monastery where Jerome resided, causing his fellow monks to flee, but Jerome recognized that the beast was injured and he cured it by removing a thorn from its paw. The saint's monumental form fills the foreground of the composition, setting off the delicate gold tweezers Jerome uses to extract the thorn. In the background, a monk approaches with a pot of ointment and a bandage. The encounter between man and animal, in which Jerome comes to the lion's aid, is poignant, showing the moment when the lion submits to the saint, the saint's concentration as he removes the thorn, and the apprehensiveness of the attendant monk. This cutting likely represents a large miniature or initial from a gradual probably commissioned for the Camaldolese monastery of San Mattia in Murano. This manuscript was one of the most lavish and elaborately illuminated Lombard choir book commissions of the fifteenth century. The artist responsible for its decoration it is known as the Master of the Murano Gradual. This illuminator likely worked between the regions of Lombardy and the Veneto and he is notable for his originality and his imposing figures clothed in voluminous drapery, their faces strongly modeled and expressive.

One Response to 2014 Chrysler 300 – Designed for Ultimate Satisfaction
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside
and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Answered by
Sheikh Ahmad al-Khalîl, professor at al-Imâm University, Qasîm Branch
A divorce given in writing will be valid by as long as the man intended divorce. This is the case even if he does not pronounce the divorce verbally. A divorce in writing is different than a verbal pronouncement in that the intention of effecting a divorce is necessary for the divorce to take place. By contrast, in a verbal pronouncement, his intention for divorce will not be necessary, since all that is required for a verbal pronouncement to take effect is the deliberate intention to make the pronouncement, even if only in jest. The proof that a written divorce is valid is as follows. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah has forgiven my people for what they say within themselves unless they talk about it or act upon it". As this man wrote down his statement of divorce, he has acted, and thus his divorce will be valid. And Allah knows best.

As far as art and design goes, this is a classic. The setting, a 1980s Washington State decomposing after a zombie outbreak, is beautifully realised. The third dimension behind the basic platforming doesn't only add eyepopping settings, but an effective and pulse-quickening threat. Ravenous undead don't pop up from behind boxes but stagger in from the background, giving several agonising seconds of mortal danger before you manage to scale a fence, kick a window in or throw a cabinet across your path.
Such cowardice is born of authentic fear: you're too weak to fight them off or even wait them out. Hanging from ledges or wires drains your stamina, meaning there's no choice but to hurry on to safety, and when you do eventually get hold of a gun you can only load it with individual bullets using LB. It's beautiful, it's taut, it's effective, and it's entirely nullified nearly every time your character opens his mouth.
The narration is beautifully delivered, but the words are nonsensical to the point of hilarity, like Patrick Stewart reading out a teenage Goth's Facebook wall. Wiseau-grade gems like "what we call darkness is the light we can't see," and "Karla is dead. And now you are too. I've got to get to Safe Point" convert what is supposed to be a moving tale of a loner finding his family to a work of comedy, and there's no sense the developer is in on the joke.
The damage this does to the beautifully crafted atmosphere is compounded by its structure. Unlike 2D bedfellow Shadow Complex there's no opportunity to explore beyond harvesting collectibles: the rotting teeth snapping at your heels mean you can only ever charge forward and you spend less time marvelling at the setting and more time noticing problems.
Out of shape
While the game itself is never diffi cult or badly designed, it consistently contrives to point out its restrictions: neither controls nor narrative are ever slick enough that you ever feel immersed. An extended period in a spike-filled labyrinth is spent cursing the precision of the platforming and wondering why the person who claims to be helping you doesn't just turn the traps off, and Canabalt-style roof runs require trial-and-error identification of which obstacles require slightly too many button presses to get past.
The result is a curious hybrid of prime beef and dog food that regularly impresses but is impossible to take seriously. It then really lets itself down with a truly atrocious finale that combines shooting - the game's least satisfying mechanic - with enemies that routinely kill you before you have a chance to react, while ditching the previously generous checkpointing.
Your reward: a face-palming moment of sub-Hollyoaks melodrama and a mission clock that reveals that of the seven or so hours you spent retrying, you've only experienced about two and a half hours of actual narrative. You'll see some glorious stuff in that time, but it's difficult to shake the idea that you'd get the same calibre of storytelling from a petrol-station DVD and still have enough money left to buy a drink afterwards. Deadlight gets a lot of things right, and is a game worth playing, but the storytelling never lives up to the presentation.
Beautiful, but bone-headed
- Great concept
- Gorgeous visuals
- Admirable tension
- Atrocious dialogue
- Dire finale

>>> We've Moved - Blippitt is now Viral Video Box <<<
Every year, it seems like someone or some group is offended by at least one Super Bowl commercial.
To prove this point, Jimmy Kimmel sent his crew out onto the streets to ask people about this year's Super Bowl commercials.
The catch? They didn't ask them about real commercials but instead asked them about ads they made up.
Check out what happens below.

This past Saturday was Town Hall Cross, a personal favorite race that is right in my backyard. There's so much that makes me happy about this event, I don't know which daisy to pull from the gigglepatch first.
The course is a delicious medley of gravel, grass, and pavement. It sets your legs afire straight off the line with a hard twisty climb that bumps skyward before topping out and sending you zigzagging back down through a flowy river of swoops and power sections. Then there's an abundance of technical challenges, including two sets of barriers, off-camber trail, rooty turns through trees, and endless cornering.
The city park venue is the perfect place to spend the day. There are waffles, bagels, sweets, and sandwiches for sale, a playground for the kids, a stream for said kids when they get too hot and sweaty for the playground, and tons of places to park course-side and heckle your friends as they come whizzing by. In short, it's what 'cross racing—heck bike racing—should be.
So there I was at the truck, watching over a couple of kids (including my own) during the men's race, while getting my own stuff together and kitting up, when a woman carrying a newborn walked up.
"Are you Selene?" she asked in that tentative way people have about them when they approach me to ask a training or fitness question but don't want to bother me. "I am," I replied, turning to extend my hand and give her my attention.
She proceeded to introduce herself, explaining that she'd seen me around and was impressed by how strong I am and wanted to know what I did, especially for upper body strength. I gave her my usual spiel: I ride lots, including off road riding, which helps build strength. I swim and run and do plenty of push ups and so forth. But something in her expression told me I wasn't saying what she wanted to hear.
"I used to go to the gym regularly, but now…" she explained, apologetically glancing at her sleeping bundle, as her voice drifted off.
"Now you have better things to do!" I told her, explaining there was no need to ever step foot in a gym to be strong. Then I asked if she was going to be racing that day.
Her eyes lit up. But she replied in the negative. "Oh no. My husband thinks I should, but I don't know…" she answered, tilting her head towards her family lounging under a pop up tent, shouting encouragement to the stream of racers powering through the tough course.
"Do it!" I implored, gesturing at the riders of all shapes and sizes and speeds who were happily pedaling by. "That's the beauty of these races. It doesn't matter how fast or slow or fit you are. Everyone is just out there riding around, having fun, and doing their best. Trust me. Nobody but you cares if you're first or last. Just try it. You'll have a blast. It's way more fun than the gym. And far more satisfying. I don't think everyone needs to race, or that you should race if you don't want to. But if you have any inkling to do it, you most definitely should."
She glanced at the racers still weaving through the park, nodded, smiled and thanked me, as she strolled back to her family. Next time I see her, I hope it's on a starting line.
