Orlando Scandrick off to fast start
August, 15, 2011
Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com
ARLINGTON, Texas -- As the Cowboys maintain patience in Mike Jenkins' return from a stinger and hope that Terence Newman is ready for the season opener at the New York Jets, Orlando Scandrick is stating his case for perhaps a larger role than the nickel cornerback.
In Monday's practice, Scandrick batted down three passes in team drills and unofficially allowed only two catches all day, including one "smoke" at the line of scrimmage.
"I'm off to a very, very, very good start," Scandrick said. "I feel like I've picked up right where I left off last year and hopefully I can maintain that level of play through the 2011-12 season."
Scandrick said he loves the system new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is implementing.
"It allows me to put myself in a better position to make plays," Scandrick said. "It's not like this is the call, they know what's coming and you've got to play with it and I've got to out-athletic you on every play. It's just more multiplicity and more checks. When you move, we move, When you switch, we switch. I think it's going to help us."

Christianity and domestic violence
Christianity and domestic violence deals with the debate in Christian communities in relation to the recognition and response to domestic violence, which is complicated by a culture of silence and acceptance among abuse victims. There are some Bible verses that abusers use to justify discipline of their wives. A United Nations report on violence against women shows domestic abuse rates vary considerably among countries with a high majority of Christians.[Link needed]
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition, domestic violence is: "the inflicting of physical injury by one family or household member on another; also: a repeated or habitual pattern of such behavior."[1]
Relationship between husband and wife[edit]
Christian groups and authorities generally condemn domestic violence as inconsistent with the general Christian duty to love others and to the scriptural relationship between husband and wife.[2] At the same time, Christian groups acknowledge that domestic violence and other abuse takes place, especially by husbands against their wives, though some are surprised by its prevalence.
Degree of equality[edit]
According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, "Men who abuse often use Ephesians 5:22, taken out of context, to justify their behavior, but the passage (v. 21-33) refers to the mutual submission of husband and wife out of love for Christ. Husbands should love their wives as they love their own body, as Christ loves the Church."[3] Ephesians 5:22-24 states:
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Ephesians 5:22-24.[4]
Some Christian theologians, such as the Rev. Marie Fortune and Mary Pellauer, have raised the question of a close connection between patriarchal Christianity and domestic violence and abuse.[5][6] Steven Tracy, author of "Patriarchy and Domestic Violence" writes: "While patriarchy may not be the overarching cause of all abuse, it is an enormously significant factor, because in traditional patriarchy males have a disproportionate share of power... So while patriarchy is not the sole explanation for violence against women, we would expect that male headship would be distorted by insecure, unhealthy men to justify their domination and abuse of women."[7]
In Responding to Domestic Abuse, a report issued by the Church of England in 2006, suggests that patriarchy should be replaced rather than reinterpreted: "Following the pattern of Christ means that patterns of domination and submission are being transformed in the mutuality of love, faithful care and sharing of burdens. 'Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ'(Ephesians 5.21). Although strong patriarchal tendencies have persisted in Christianity, the example of Christ carries the seeds of their displacement by a more symmetrical and respectful model of male–female relations."[8]
Bible verses are often used to justify domestic abuse, such as those that refer to male superiority and female submission. Others counter that the use of violence is a misinterpreted view of the male role.[2] For instance, Eve (Genesis 2-3), is seen by some Christians to be disobedient to patriarchal God and man, and to many a generalized symbol of womanhood that must be submissive and subject to discipline, while others disagree with this interpretation.[9]
There are some Christians who believe that it is the man's duty and right to discipline his wife, usually by spanking, such as the consensual Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD).[10][11][12]
Undesirability of beating[edit]
There are a variety of responses, though, by religious leaders to how victims should handle abuse:
- Marjorie Proctor-Smith in "Violence against women and children: a Christian Theological Sourcebook" states that domestic physical, psychological or sexual violence is a sin. It victimizes family members dependent on a man and violates trust needed for healthy, equitable and cooperative relationships. She finds that domestic violence is symptom of sexism, a social sin.[13]
- The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said in 2002, "As pastors of the Catholic Church in the United States, we state as clearly and strongly as we can that violence against women, inside or outside the home, is never justified."[3]
- The Church of England's report, Responding to Domestic Abuse advises that Christian pastors and counselors should not advise victims to make forgiving the perpetrator the top priority "when the welfare and safety of the person being abused are at stake."[8]
- Significant numbers of Christian pastors ordinarily would tell a woman being abused that she should continue to submit and to "trust that God would honor her action by either stopping the abuse or giving her the strength to endure it" and would never advise a battered wife to leave her husband or separate because of abuse.[14] One mid-1980s survey of 5,700 pastors found that 26 percent of pastors ordinarily would tell a woman being abused that she should continue to submit and to "trust that God would honor her action by either stopping the abuse or giving her the strength to endure it" and that 71 percent of pastors would never advise a battered wife to leave her husband or separate because of abuse.[14][15]
A contributing factor to the disparity of responses to abuse is lack of training, many Christian seminaries had not educated future church leaders about how to manage violence against women. Once pastors began receiving training, and announced their participation in domestic violence educational programs, they immediately began receiving visits from women church members who had been subject to violence. The first Theological Education and Domestic Violence Conference, sponsored by the Center for the Prevention of Sexual and Domestic Violence, was held in 1985 to identify topics that should be covered in seminaries. First, church leaders will encounter sexual and domestic violence and they need to know what community resources are available. Secondly, they need to focus on ending the violence, rather than on keeping families together.[16]
Incidence of domestic violence[edit]
Christian women are often silent and accepting of any domestic violence that they may suffer. In the 1970s when programs were initiated to train church leaders about domestic violence, But no one ever comes to me with this problem was the most common response. Church leaders often believed that if no one was reaching out for assistance within the church that there was no problem in their church; however, women often withheld discussing their problems over concern that it would not be handled appropriately. When women became pastors they found that much of their time became devoted to handling domestic abuse and other forms of violence against women; Their involvement included crisis intervention.[17]

First, I'm new so apologies if this has been discussed interminably before, but I did search and couldn't find an answer.
Secondly, I've been lurking a while and have had many questions answered for me already, so thanks to all y'all for help already given. I'm in the middle of an upstairs bathroom remodel, which is becoming exponentially more involved as the days progress. I've pulled out the old bath, and ripped up the floor tile, and will be replacing the bath with a walk in shower, and relaying ceramic tiles on top of the plywood subfloor. However, the floor under the bath, and under the tile has become rotten over the last 30 years or so, and I'm going to need to replace the subfloor as well. It looks as though water has dripped down the side of the bath when the shower was used, and seeped between the join between the tile floor and the side of the bath, and rot ensued. I'd like to avoid this happening, I know I'm not going to be replacing it in 30 years time, but it'd be nice if the guy who has to, doesn't call me the names that I've been using to describe the original contractor ;) I'm planning on tiling with thinset - ditra - thinset - tile, and then sealing the tile. The shower base that I'm using is one of the swanstone veritek prefab bases, and I'm also putting swanstone shower surround walls and a kohler sliding glass door. So, how should one best seal the joint between the shower pan and the tile? Part of my problem is that the pan has to be laid level, and so I can't build up the surface beneath the front of the pan too much. Otherwise I'd just extend the ditra beneath the shower pan. I was thinking about putting a layer of redguard down on top of the plywood subfloor, is there a problem with doing that? Or should I run the ditra under the entire floor, including under the shower pan? Or is there another technique? cheers |

If you're looking to waterproof the floor, run the Ditra up to the shower pan, and cut it nice and uniform, leaving about an 1/8" gap, and then caulk it. Also, pick up a roll of Kerdiband to seal up the seams in the Ditra. |
- Posted by constant_gardner (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 15:38
thanks that sounds very sensible, just to be clear do you mean caulk the ditra to the pan and then lay tile on top. |
- Posted by bill_vincent (email@example.com) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 20:12
Correct, and then caulk the tile, as well. The caulking from the Ditra to the pan would be for waterproofing purposes, while the caulking from the tile to the pan would be for reasons of movement. |
- Posted by constant_gardner (My Page) on Wed, May 6, 09 at 20:31
gotcha, thanks - not the way I'd have thought to do it. |

Ihave had my desert rose for about 6 years. It's trunk isn't growing, but the top is very tall and skinney. Should I trim it back to the trunk? I have it in cactus soil. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Dianna, I am unfamiliar to the growing conditions/climate in TN. I would definitely prune it back quote low down. From the photo, atleast 8" - 10" above the soil level. When you prune. Prune on a 45 degree angle with bottom of angle cut 1/4"-3/8" above a node. Seal cut or leave if you do not have any sealer. Make sure it is getting very good sunlight for 8hrs. Min. Is this plant dormant? Has it started growing this year? I usually do not prune dormant plants. This plant would not structurally support flowers and you may find that the caudex (base above soil) gets larger over time. I hope this helps, Rick |
Dianna, still plenty of time to prune, this is only July. When you prune, your plant will be full and nice. Good luck and please photos after prune and new leaves. Marie |
Dianna, what kind of light does the plant receive? Mark |
- Posted by dianna_2008 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 21:00
Thanks for all of the advice. It has full sun all day. It has been 90 degrees and above for the past month here in TN. I put it outside this time of year. It grew a lot this past winter while it was inside. |
Prune away, you will be amazed how quickly it will leaf out, and be full and bushy. These are amazing little guys. |
Everyone here is telling you right about the pruning back. I know it would be hard to prune something you've have for so long. I would also change the soil you have in the pot. The mix I use is 75% peat moss ...20% soil conditioner ...and the last 5% is perlite. And I would either top it off with topdress fertilizer or with osmocote. Not both at the same time. |
Yep. Best advice from everyone. Cut it back and watch it bush out. Kirk |

Adam McKay Talks About His Road to 'Anchorman 2' and Reveals Who's Coming Back
In Development By Nathan Adams on April 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen it was finally announced that Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and company would be coming back and making a sequel to their 2004 modern classic Anchorman, the world rejoiced. But, with as many people as there are who love this movie, and with the way it's continued to remain a relevant part of popular culture, why did it take so long to make a sequel? McKay spills some details on the long road to this highly anticipated sequel in a recent interview with THR. Apparently the delay between Anchorman movies came down to two things: first there was a lack of interest in sequels from the creative end of things, and then there were budget concerns from the accountants. Or, as McKay puts it, "the movie came out and did really good but then got even bigger on DVD and cable. So then, when he (Adam Goodman) was at Paramount, he said to me, 'Would you ever do a sequel?' And at first we were like, 'No, we don't want to do sequels, we have too many ideas. Why do sequels?' And then finally, we kept hearing the question so much from fans, and we're like, 'Shit, man, there's almost something original about doing a sequel,' like, can-we-do-a-sequel suddenly became an interesting challenge to us. We got our heads around on it and said, 'All right, we'll do it,' and Goodman was really excited. But then it went in the numbers machine over there."
Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch! Time for an 'Anchorman' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on April 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLast week, the interwebs exploded with the awesome announcement that Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Steve Carell and Paramount Pictures have come to an agreement on moving forward with a sequel to the 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Sweet Lincoln's mullet, this is exciting! Even though the movie's release is at least a year away, you can still pop in your DVD, Blu-ray or HD-DVD (yeah, those are still out there) of Anchorman to refresh yourself in preparation of the sequel. Enjoy some scotchy, scotch, scotch, down into your belly. Or drink from a half-gallon carton of milk on a hot day. Either way, slap on your Sex Panther cologne and take a trip back to the glorious 70s. And don't forget to stay classy, rejects!
Great Odin's Raven! 'Anchorman 2′ Will See Will Ferrell Back In the Mustache Again
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 28, 2012 | Comments (3)Back in 2010, Paramount punted Anchorman 2 off a bridge, but after Conan O'Brien teased an appearance by Ron Burgundy on his show, it became clear that something big was afoot. Anchorman 2 is happening with Will Ferrell getting back behind the news desk alongside director Adam McKay and co-stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell. Right now, a ton of people are having to walk off their comedy erections in whatever office they're about to be fired from. Fortunately, I work from home. This is great, great news. Does it seem a bit like going back to the well? Absolutely, but it's a well worth diving back into and one that will represent a real challenge for its cast and crew. Catching scotch-covered lightning in a bottle twice will be tough, but hot damn is it ever a goal worth shooting for.
Paul Rudd May Be Admitted to Tina Fey's 'Admission'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on March 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWay back in January of 2011, we wrote up the possibility of Tina Fey taking on Admission – an adaptation of a novel with middling reviews about an Ivy League admissions officer who is shaken out of her rut when she runs into an old schoolmate and meets a young genius. Obviously development was slow-going, but the LA Times is announcing that the film is attempting to shoot this May after Fey concludes her work on 30 Rock. Plus, director Paul Weitz is looking to cast Paul Rudd as the co-lead. That's a hell of a combination. In fact, it's the kind of combination that all but ensures that the better parts of the book will be plucked out for use while the lesser parts will be blurred over by improvisation. The script itself comes from Karen Croner (who wrote One True Thing, a movie that earned Meryl Streep one of her many Oscar nominations). All in all, it sounds like a winning team behind an average concept, but it's just exciting to see it close to getting off the ground.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: February 24, 2012
Features By Kevin Carr on February 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr fights a battle of wits between the stuffy and overly dramatic Oscar contenders that will be buzzing through the weekend and the genre-specific schlock that is being released with no hope of winning any sort of award at all. Before hunkering down on the couch to watch Billy Crystal time warp back into the mid-90s on Sunday, Kevin skydives into the multiplex to check out Act of Valor. Then he joins a commune to be a modern hippie while watching Wanderlust. Finally, he leaves the multiplex to stalk Amanda Seyfried and her on-screen sister because he believes he's at least as creepy as the legions of creepy guys in Gone. Oh, and that Tyler Perry movie? He skips that with a wave of the hand and a snap of the fingers. If it ain't got Madea in it, it ain't worth watching!
Review: Contrived and Poorly Written 'Wanderlust' Fails to Turn Up Any Likable Characters
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on February 23, 2012 | Comments (2)George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) live for the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City. Until, that is, things go wrong and they decide they just can't deal with it any longer. The married couple then head to Atlanta to live with George's obnoxious brother, but end up spending the night at a roadside bed-n-breakfast that turns out to be a hippie commune. After sampling a combo platter of drugs and other alternative lifestyle trappings, they have second thoughts about returning to any life outside of the commune…and then have third thoughts about their second thoughts. Director David Wain and actor Ken Marino penned the script for Wanderlust, just as they previously did for Role Models. The problem is that where Role Models is a mildly absurd situational comedy peppered with fully developed characters who grow as people without betraying who they are, Wanderlust is a flaccid, one-note joke with possibly some of the most wishy-washy leads in recent cinematic history, and nary a likable character to otherwise be found. Wain and Marino have created a joke dome in the Elysium Community outside of which they seem to have very little confidence in their ability to make us laugh. They therefore construct contrivance after contrivance to drop their leads back at the commune and mistakenly assume that the dramatic tension will be inherent in their repeated exit from it.
Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd Will Try to Out-Paul Each Other in 'Lucky Dog'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentPhil Morrison, the director of June Bug, has another project in the works, and it's worth noting because it's going to be starring my two favorite Pauls currently working in Hollywood. Lucky Dog is a comedy about a couple of French-Canadian con men who go in together on a Christmas tree selling scam, despite the fact that their friendship has recently been on the outs. The previously mentioned Pauls are Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd, both accomplished comedic actors who also bring some dramatic chops to the table. So, the directions this one could go in are myriad. Adding to the intrigue is the news that Sally Hawkins, an actress who has recently been impressing me in movies like Never Let Me Go and Submarine, has also signed on to join the cast. There isn't any word on what kind of character she will be playing, but is it safe to assume that there might be some sort of love triangle going on among the former friends? Good luck with that one, Giamatti. Rudd is, like, cut. From marble. He's gorgeous. He's like this beautiful face and this incredible body, and I genuinely don't care that he's kinda lame. And I don't even care that he cheats on me.
Both last month and this month are shaping up to prove that this time of the year doesn't only serve as a dumping ground for Mark Wahlberg action movies and another indistinguishable Katherine Heigl horror movie. So far we're off to a great start for 2012, and I sure hope it continues that way. With another Heigl rom-com nowhere in sight, I believe we're all clear for now. Honorable Mentions: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (got terrible buzz out of Butt-numb-a-thon, but it's still got Ciarán Hinds, one of the best actors around, playing the devil) and Chronicle (apparently it's better than it looks).
Owen Wilson, Christopher Walken, and Kristen Wiig May Join Paul Rudd in Discovering 'Freezing People is Easy'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 4, 2012 | Be the First To CommentOf all the films being developed in the Hollywood-sphere right now, perhaps no other has more reasons to be excited about it than the upcoming, based-on-a-true-story shocker Freezing People is Easy. First off, it's based on the life story of Robert Nelson, a man who spearheaded a movement in cryonics that saw several bodies being frozen back in the 60s, with disastrous results. Nelson's story is darkly funny, shockingly grisly, and endlessly interesting due to its many twists and turns. It's already been documented to great success in the man's memoirs, "We Froze the First Man," and also in a segment on the radio program This American Life entitled "Cold as Ice," and it's really a tale that everyone needs to hear. Secondly, the talent bringing this story into yet another medium, this time the big screen, is impressive. Freezing People is Easy is set to be the second dramatic work by famed documentarian Errol Morris (Tabloid), and it's being shot from a screenplay that was written by Stranger Than Fiction's Zach Helm. These are names whose next projects I would have been anticipating whether they were attached to a story I was already interested in or not. Throw them all together and there's reason to celebrate. The third reason I'm looking forward to this one is how well the cast seems to be shaping up. It's already been reported that Paul Rudd is attached to play Nelson as the lead, and now a report from Deadline Redondo Beach says […]
Trailer for David Wain's 'Wanderlust' is One Big 'The State' Reunion on a Commune
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWatching the trailer for Wanderlust – the new movie directed by Wet Hot American Summer director David Wain – makes me want to watch every episode of The State all over again. In short, I wanna dip my balls in it. Starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston as rat-racers in New York who have to leave the race and find themselves learning the communal life, the trailer looks knock-down, drag-out hilarious. Some great gags from some truly disturbed/gifted comic minds are on display here. Check it out for yourself, and see how many State alumni you can spot:
35 Things We Learned From the 'Knocked Up' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Jeremy Kirk on October 6, 2011 | Comments (2)It's time to crank up the Ol' Dirty Bastard, imbibe in your favorite – LEGAL – activity, and start the baby making. In this week's Commentary Commentary, we're hitting up one of the best comedies of the past 10 years, Knocked Up. Aside from being one of the dozen films that have made Judd Apatow a vigintillionaire, apart from being the film that landed Seth Rogen on the A-list, the movie is just damned funny. Heart-warming, of course. What would an Apatow movie be without heart? Well, it would probably be You Don't Mess With the Zohan, but we're not even going to mention that abomination here. Just ignore that previous utterance of the title. Anyway, back to Knocked Up, Apatow has amassed a solid line-up for his commentary track. Rogen and co-star Bill Hader are on board to deliver their own stories and insight into the making of the film. Something tells me the commenting under the influence didn't stop with last week's movie. That Rogen sure likes to partake. He's always stoned. And funny. Mostly funny. But one might have a hand in the other. So here's what we learned from the commentary track to Knocked Up. Cue the ODB!
Movie News After Dark: Custom Movie Kicks, Kinky Geek Sex, 'Where's Waldo' Thrills, and Shorts From Canada
Features By Scott Beggs on September 14, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a wild summer romp disguised as a prestige flick. We toss together some of the news that your brain needs to hold most tightly to for fear of losing it forever. Do you dare know what can't be unknown? Since it's going to be a bizarre (fiercely sexual) post tonight, we start off with the innocent pleasure of shoes. Custom painted movie shoes to be specific. For full disclosure, yes, PeregrinePaints over at Etsy is a friend of the site, but who cares? Her stuff is very cool, the work speaks for itself, and you can dictate exactly what you want painted on your kicks. Not a bad deal, especially for the super-fan who can't understand why Nike hasn't produced as an official El Topo sneaker yet.
Review: 'Our Idiot Brother' Works Because of Paul Rudd
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on August 26, 2011 | Be the First To CommentOur Idiot Brother floats by on the genial charms of Paul Rudd, an apparently nice guy in real life who's playing just about the nicest, most pleasant guy in the world. That sounds like a recipe for ho-hum disaster, but Rudd happens to be ridiculously adept at selling you two bags of goods at once, imbuing that geniality with a fount of deep tangible feeling. Audiences accustomed to Judd Apatow-era Rudd might forget that he's acted in Neil LaBute plays and films (before LaBute turned into a director-for-hire) and once played F. Scott Fitzgerald's Nick Carraway in a Great Gatsby adaptation made for TV. The guy has dramatic chops, and he's one of the few actors in Hollywood who can naturalistically flow them into a deceptively low-key framework. Here, Rudd stars as Ned — or Nedley, as mom calls him — a lovable, trusting hippie farmer who sells a cop some weed and winds up in jail. After his release, with nowhere to go, Ned moves in first with mom and then with his three high-strung sisters in succession.
Megan Fox and Jason Segel Go Swimming on the Set of 'This is Forty'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 22, 2011 | Comments (2)Judd Apatow's fourth feature film is set to be a sort-of sequel to his 2007 effort Knocked Up. No, it doesn't have anything to do with the main protagonists that Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen played in that film, but instead it's supposed to focus on the married couple that was brought to life by Apatow's real life wife Leslie Mann and that delightful Paul Rudd. Once he got his story down and his principle couple locked in, Apatow then needed to dig into his deep bag of comedic actors to fill out the supporting roles. We've already reported that he's signed on Bridesmaids breakout Melissa McCarthy to join the cast, and apparently he picked up Megan Fox somewhere along the way as well because today comes some Fox related news that I'm super stoked about. When it comes to my current man crushes, Paul Rudd is up there pretty high at the top of the list, but even closer to the tippy top is Jason Segel; and according to a picture that Fox uploaded to her Facebook account, it's looking like Segel is on set to reprise his so-into-Leslie-Mann-it's-ridiculous role from the first film. This is good news to me, as Segel pretty much automatically becomes the best part of any movie that casts him without exception. Dude was even lovable in Bad Teacher. While I wouldn't really want to see another story that focused heavily on Rogen's slacker buddies from the first film, especially in a movie that's […]
Paul Rudd Will Freeze People in Errol Morris's Robert Nelson Biopic
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 12, 2011 | Comments (1)Lots of info is swirling around regarding legendary documentary filmmaker Errol Morris's second dramatic work. Morris is intent on making a biopic of a man named Robert Nelson, who was a television repairman who joined a group of cryogenic enthusiasts in the late 60s, took over their makeshift operation, and took it upon himself to start freezing people post death. Nelson's story has already been told in his own memoirs "We Froze the First Man," and in a segment on NPR's This American Life entitled "You're Cold as Ice." Morris will be filming a screenplay by Stranger than Fiction's Zach Helm that takes material from both. First, The Washington Post has confirmed with Morris that he has cast Paul Rudd in the lead role of Bob Nelson. While there is a lot of dark humor to be had in the prospect of an in over your head TV repair man trying to run a cryogenics operation, this story goes some dramatic places as well, so this will be an interesting role to see Rudd take. He started his career doing more dramatic stuff, but has recently been known for doing mostly straight comedy. This could be a good chance to see what kind of chops Rudd is working with. A second bit of news on the project is that The New York Observer is reporting This American Life creator and host Ira Glass will be collaborating with Morris on the film in some capacity.
Melissa McCarthy Joins Judd Apatow's 'Knocked Up' Follow-Up
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 8, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFresh off of her head turning performance in this year's breakout comedy hit Bridesmaids Melissa McCarthy is riding her momentum right into the next Judd Apatow movie. The new film is a revisiting of Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's married couple from Knocked Up that was once and may still be titled This is Forty. McCarthy is said to be playing the mother of a child that attends the same school Rudd and Mann's children do, and her kid is going to be played by Super 8's Ryan Lee. There aren't any more details than that, but I'm guessing that her character will also be loud and mouthy. Gotta dance with the one who brought you. Despite the fact that she was the big revelation of Bridesmaids, and she's got a bunch of film offers coming her way, McCarthy is still one of the stars of the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly. Probably she's going to need to get out of that deal, because while I haven't actually seen it, I hear that show is pretty atrocious. We can't be having a big network anchor tied around our neck when that Apatow money starts rolling in, know what I mean? I say we start a free Melissa McCarthy petition. [THR]
Did You Say Dick Cream? David Wain Wants To Go Back to Camp with 'Wet Hot' Sequel
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 21, 2011 | Comments (1)David Wain might have missed the 9:00 appointment ten years from when all the campers of Wet Hot American Summer got together, but he may still have a chance to see who they've all blossomed into. If you're not getting the references here, go watch the movie. Don't tell anyone you haven't seen it. Just calmly, quietly watch it (instantly). According to an interview Wain did for The Q&A With Jeff Goldsmith, the writer/director has been thinking about doing a "sequel, prequel, something or other" to get the gang back together. That gang includes Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter and many, many, many other comedians wearing shorts that are too small for them. If Wain goes with his prequel idea, it would see actors in their late 30s and early 40s playing 20-year-old camp counselors, and there's not one thing wrong with that.
Judd Apatow Might Cast Megan Fox For His 'Knocked Up' Spin-Off
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAs we all already know, Judd Apatow is taking the characters created by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in Knocked Up and giving them their own story. Now, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that negotiations are happening for Megan Fox to join the cast in some capacity. What exactly that capacity is, is still a production secret, but the typecasting options aren't really numerous. She could play a sexy temptress for Paul Rudd to get sexily tempted by, she could play a slutty babysitter for Paul Rudd to be tempted by, or she could play a rocket scientist teaching philosophy at the local college who acts as a stirring mentor figure who dispenses wisdom just at the right moment. In all honesty, and without sarcasm, the big question is whether Megan Fox can do character-based comedy. She made fun of herself in a Funny or Die video a while back, but that doesn't exactly translate to playing a role with some of the best comedic improvisers in the business. The apathetic smugness of her line delivery in every other flick she's in doesn't seem like it works for comedy. Unless she takes it over the top. That's it. She can play a ridiculously apathetic rocket scientist.
Paul Rudd and Jason Segel Reprise 'I Love You Man' Roles for Funny or Die
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentI've often heard that the last genre to be invented was the Mockumentary, but recent years may have added an addendum to that with the rise of the Bromance. Fans of the hetero man-love genre will certainly remember Paul Rudd and Jason Segel's characters Peter and Sydney from the 2009 comedy I Love You Man and their extreme fandom of the band "Rush". Well, thanks to the rise of high-end video content on the Internet we're able to relive all of their most repeated catch phrases without having to wait for an actual sequel. In this short the two BFFs share a scene with the guys from "Rush" depicting an awkward back stage interaction at one of their shows. While I was pretty charmed by Neil Peart's acting, I personally had to hit the "Die" button due to the dearth of original jokes. But for all of those people who like to relive the familiar and flock out to the theaters in droves for sequels, this may be a real treat.
9 New 'My Idiot Brother' Images Show Off a Bearded Paul Rudd
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 10, 2011 | Comments (1)My Idiot Brother will premiere at Sundance later this month, bringing its sunny disposition to the cold of Utah. The movie features Paul Rudd as the eternal optimist with an uncanny beard-growing ability who springs back into the lives of his three sisters – played by Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Banks, and Zooey Deschanel. There are 9 new images from the film which mostly show off the hippie rug covering Rudd's face, as well as the strong, aforementioned talent pool playing his siblings.

A Plan is only the basis for change Day 2 A Stormy Seaworld
Day 2 (01 Aug 12) - A Stormy Seaworld
Trip Intro/Index here. Following a mixed nights sleep for us all, we were up around 07:30. As we were all stuffed from our pizza last night, we decided to set out to Walmart for supplies and other necessities. On our return, we packed the rucksack for Seaworld, then called into iHop where we had a voucher for a free breakfast. Following this hearty meal, we then set off to Seaworld arriving around 11:00. First job was to change the Discovery Cove voucher that I had got as a surprise 50th birthday present for Joanne for our Seaworld and Aquatica tickets the secret was kept until last night. Once accomplished, we made our way to the 11:30 Shamu show (slightly delayed due to thunder), then over to see Clyde and Seamore at 12:45 where the mime artist was as funny as ever. We then moved over to see Pets Ahoy at 13:45 (a welcome respite from the heat), followed by Blue Horizons at 15:00. All through the afternoon, there had been rumblings of thunder and the odd flash of lightning, leading to the rides being closed. As it was still raining, we decided to get back to the hotel, visit Bahama Breeze for an early dinner, then return to Seaworld to try and ride Atlantis and Kraiken. Following the necessary preparations, we called ahead to Bahama Breeze at Lake Bryan at 5:30pm to be added to the wait list. We arrived shortly before 6pm, and were seated right away. The keen eyed among you will have noted that we didnt actually have any lunch today this is a result of our recent healthy eating campaign, and we will be trying to minimise the intake of food, at least until we get started on our free DDP!!! Since our last visit (admittedly back in 2010), the menu had changed and seemed to have less choice and being less adventurous. We ordered the melted goats cheese in peppers with toasted flatbread to share between us, then Alex ordered the shrimp curry pot, Joanne the shrimp linguine, and I ordered the lighter portion of a chicken dish. The food wasnt bad, but the service was our mains arrived as we were barely halfway through our starter, then as I finished my main my plate was whipped away and I had a list of the dessert specials recited to me whilst Joanne and Alex were barely half way through their meals and worst of all, not once was a refill of drinks offered!!! Needless to say, our extremely small tip should have told our server of our displeasure. Its a real pity as previously we have always enjoyed good food and excellent service at Bahama Breeze, but probably unlikely to go again either this holiday or in the future. Anyhow, the upside of our rushed meal was that we were back at Seaworld just after 7pm (having kept our parking receipt), and hit Atlantis with only a 10 minute wait which we rode twice, then onto Kraiken, and back onto Atlantis which was virtually walk-on for a final two goes. At just after 9pm, we decided to call it a night and headed back to the Sheraton for a brew and to check up on Thursdays weather forecast before catching up on some much needed sleep.

Unfortunately, the flatbread wasn't a patch on the previous accompaniment, best described as mini bruchettas - it was a shame as we wewre really looking forward to it. However, it was the only disappointing meal we had.

Shame about your meal at Bahama Breeze. We have only eaten there once but, while the food was good, the service left a lot to be desired and we haven't been back since.

It may come as a shock to some, but the battle over Horror as literature is waning. While the folding of the genre into newly formed categories and older, more established, more "respectable" ones may provide a contributing factor, the genre itself is the source of its own immutable proof. While there is still a measure of professional name-calling, and a sense of resistance among the older ranks of critics to acknowledge Horror as literature, if one respects the very lines drawn by those same literary critics, then one must also separate out the wheat from the chafe.
Horror is like any other genre: we have our junk and we have our treasures; disregarding that fact is to intentionally put on the blinders and is critically irresponsible.
Yet quite surreptitiously – or perhaps we just failed to notice – things are changing in the halls of academia and the ivory towers of literary criticism have begun to crumble. Horror is being transformed along with its critics. It is as though we have caught a glimpse of a gloriously full moon and something preternatural has taken hold… And it is time to rejoice.
There has been a kind of renaissance among literary critics and reviewers which started most noticeably in the 1990's that has wedged open the door to literary recognition for the Horror genre. But paradoxically, this is not about overcoming literary prejudices and dragging the war-worn Horror banner onto the field of battle to be planted in victory. It is not about overwhelming the other side with sheer numbers. Rather it is a battle that has been won the way it was waged: with the pen.
Since its early days, Horror has had its champions. There are criticisms and treatises, essays and commentaries written by some of the genres best over the years (all still available for public consumption, by the way). But something significant happened in the 1970's when American Horror went "viral" in our culture; Horror – no matter how deftly wielded or drowning in schlock – infected a generation that became our contemporary filmmakers, novelists, poets, playwrights, and musicians.
A whole generation that grew up with the Summer Blockbuster and the blossoming of the New Age wanted to know exactly what it was about those silly little moments of terror that we fondly recalled populating our youth (and which ultimately seeded our adult perspectives) that had such staying power in our adult lives. Why are so many of us Horror junkies?
Once some of these same people entered colleges and began to search desperately for a career in the arts, the curiosity began to feed other fields and genres. Believe it or not, Horror became an interesting topic for researchers in sociology, in brain science, in philosophy, in psychology, communications, linguistics, language composition, and our most tangible hand-held mirror – film criticism.
Everyone wanted to know: what is it about Horror that seduces and connects directly to the primal nerves in all of us, and what is it saying about humanity in general? Furthermore, can we learn more about ourselves and about learning itself by understanding that question?
The collection of essays in A Dark Night's Dreaming: Contemporary American Horror Fiction, edited by Tony Magistrale and Michael A. Morrison, Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, c1996 tries to answer this point:
"At its most significant level of meaning, the art of terror is concerned with detailing the tragic consequences of social and personal disintegration – it is the essential aesthetic medium of our time…The best horror fiction must be viewed as contemporary social satire that reveals – and often critiques – the collective cultural fears and personal anxieties of everyday life." (p.3)
Whether we write it or just like to curl up with a good scary book on dark nights, fans of Horror have to admit that there is something going on with us when we read and enjoy Horror, when we connect to the unsavory. This is especially true for those of us who never "outgrew" the genre, but still seek it out for a "fix" now and again. But what we have to admit aloud is that other people are just as curious about the "how" and "why" of it as well. Perhaps it is the movie production company that wants to create the next newest, coolest, special-effect infused blockbuster…Or perhaps it is the parent trying to convince their child that there are no monsters under his or her bed, or the psychologist studying PTSD, or the sociologist studying mass hysteria, or the social outcast wondering if he or she is not quite "normal."
We are all of us social creatures, even when we are anti-social. Who and what we are is often mirrored culturally in our arts. Therefore what is called "Horror art" or "Art-Horror" (which includes fine art, film and fiction) takes on a cultural importance that no self-respecting scientist can resist. Continues Magistrale & Morrison:
"Much of what occurs in horror art is symbolic; that is, its deepest meanings exist on a subtextual level. Beneath its veneers of tormented maidens, madmen, monsters, and the other archetypes of the genre, horror consistently reminds us of human vulnerability…all around us our cocoons of self-preservation and denial show signs of stress and breakage: subway riders on their way home are murdered by strangers, young men are assaulted and killed for straying into the wrong neighborhood, women are raped in toilet stalls, children are pushed from rooftops for candy bars and designer sneakers.… Some people escape from the imminent realty of such horrors by denying their existence and by clinging to a perpetual suspension of disbelief. Horror art, on the other hand, prefers to see the reality flushed out into the open…" (p. 2).
This makes most of us uncomfortable. We shift self-consciously in our seats; we busy ourselves with sitcoms. What could be normal about envisioning or paying to see a depiction of such unsavory things? What does it say about us?
Horror Theory is saying it says more about the human condition than us personally. It says we are trying to make the irrational rational, to learn through playacting and experimentation what might enhance our ability to survive a predatory and unforgiving world while navigating tremendous social constraints. Sure there is a weird titillation of the senses, a "rush" of adrenaline and excitement that frequently accompanies a near-death experience and a collective sigh of relief. Most of us planted those seeds reading the likes of Bentley Little, Peter Straub, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Anne Rice and Stephen King. And we have Hollywood to thank for putting Miracle-Gro on those very seeds that put Horror over the top. But it is the film critic who started to connect the very dots that so many Horror fans had long insisted were always there but had been unable to name. Best of all, they put it in critic-speak so that it is now being taken seriously.
Therefore, those of us in the fiction cadre have the film critics to thank for this most visible boost. It is the film critics who formulated a concept of "Horror Theory" that has itself started take on solid form and to spread. Take Noel Carroll's The Philosophy of Horror, or Paradoxes of the Heart, New York: Routledge, Chapman and Hall, c1990… This is a must-have title for those who really want to understand how literary theory is developed and applied. It is the hard-won product of an author who is a philosopher, cultural theorist and film scholar whose research still serves as s a major work used in many film theory classrooms…it is a "poetics of Horror in the tradition of analytic aesthetics"… (back cover).
It is not easy reading. It is not self-aggrandizing. Fans of Horror, this is sometimes the stuff of late-night insomniacs' dreams. This is a technical examination of Horror for the purpose of establishing a theory of literary Horror. Prepare for statements like "In both the discovery and confirmation movements in horror stories, a great deal of ratiocination may be exhibited" (p. 102)…Critics, rejoice.
Yet it is exactly books like these that will change the literary landscape for the genre of Horror. If you write it, film it, criticize it, or want to do any of the same…This is a book you need to read.
Once again, literary criticism is a weird science…it operates on theories. Sometimes those of us in the "real" world look askance as such speculation with disdain: how can our greatest works be "reduced" to some theoretical formula? How can writers across the ages "contrive" fiction based on theories no one identified in their respective times?
First one has to understand that literary critics are not saying that writers are "writing down" to us when writing great fiction. In fact, most writers are just writing…just hoping what they create is good enough to put some food on the table. What critics are saying is that there are interesting coincidences that merit our study and attention when certain works seem to transcend their plots and time periods. Second, one must accept that literary critics are a kind of scientist; they are looking for proof of ghosts.
Literary critics (the academic kind) look at semantics, at word choice, at alliteration, and semiotics – at the bare bones of language construction all the way out to the cultural flesh that hangs from those bones. They look at philosophy, at sociological consequences, at gender, at cross-cultural contaminants, at geographical isolation or clusters. They look at class and government structures. They are curious about how this wondrous thing that becomes literature is constructed. As such, they struggle along with the rest of us to define literature. They just use bigger, more complicated words with more mystifying analytical roots than the rest of us. Most of the time that equates to very boring-sounding avenues of research and discussion; but if one intends to cast stones at the "Establishment" one should also know whereof one speaks.
Literary critics are not the enemy. They are nerds.
They are curious as to why and how word choices came to be, how it impacts a reader, and what it reflects about the author's times, style, genre, class, and language development. Such obsessions are extant even among authors, who frequently rebut critical assumptions – much as Poe did in his essay, "The Philosophy of Composition" where he tersely explains how he composed "The Raven" (http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/poe/composition.html). Indeed, overthinking compositional choices seems to irk most writers and fans. However when one consumes the volume of literature that critics do, it is the interesting questions of composition and construction that nag the linguist and seduce the theorist mystified by the act of creating literature.
Is creating a divine act or a contrived one? Is it subliminal, or conscious, or some unholy marriage of all things?
You see, critics are as mystified as we are as to why a piece of writing is different from the others on the shelf – they only see that it is different, and struggle to define the how and why of it. There is an element of unpredictability that does not seem to be in anyone's control yet maddeningly…repeats.
Small wonder, then, that over formalized genre writing has frequently been dismissed. Genre formula can dictate that there will be certain plot conventions, a generalized story arc that is recognizable and comfortably familiar, standard characterizations, cookie-cutter settings. Yet this does not mean that great literature cannot stem from genre fiction. So once again the mystery creeps in…
Literature is to genre fiction is as jazz is to music. It is not what is notated on the staff …it is what happens between the lines that make it great.
Literary criticism is the search for that something. It is the science of squishing art into a containment field so it can be observed outside of its natural habitat. It is the kid with the magnifying glass who accidentally now and then sets the grass on fire. For those who hate what criticism stands for, it is the dissection of art by analysis. But it is also a study of humanity, and the human brain, of how we relate to each other and process those relationships, of why we do what we do whether we are stringing words together in eloquent composition or jumping out of the shadows in fun. Writing – like all human endeavors – says something about how we are put together.
Stuffiness aside, let's all be honest here: no literary critic can transform a work magically into Literature. It either is or it isn't. Literary critics were just among the first to begin trying to point out the differences, and publishers saw the advantages of a good critique.
Horror as such was dismissed because to early critical views, its sights were not set high enough. The purpose of Horror seemed to be simply to titillate and amuse, to shock and sensationalize. Its authors were frequently ne'er do wells, misfits, and often women. Its "messages" were unwelcome and therefore trivialized. It exploited superstition and ignorance and gullibility in a time of enlightenment and technological growth.
But Horror has never really been locked into one dimension, because even at its worst and most trite it says something about our culture. As literary criticism began a free-fall into its stagnant period during the 70's and 80's, it became evident that criticism itself needed to grow and change because the few theories that it had on the books were no longer adequate to explain or contain the explosion of works that saw publication during the heyday of print and the subsequent renewed interest in classics and definitions of literature. In other words, it became clear that literary theory was indeed onto something, but did not have enough depth, substance and/or versatility to continue in its current state.
Like all things, writing, criticism and literature were emerging from a man-cave. It became clear that sometimes writings were meant to identify cultural or societal issues that did not fit neatly into the established boxes of literary criticism. Changes had to be made or whole genres would be forcibly excluded from literary criticism. The sheer number of those works, their popularity, and the growing suspicion that something more than simple plots were being executed in them became the smoking gun. Horror languished as one of those genres – until Hollywood got into all of our heads.
With the growth in film as entertainment came the renewed need for reviews and criticism, and the undeniable popularity of Horror began to exert its influence and bleed all over the literary critic. But here's the thing: with the ease of publication comes the slipping of standards.
The critic is right to worry that a high volume of fiction fraught with grammatical errors and editorial questions signifies an erosion of our ability to compose literature. Just look at the numbers of amateur writers today who assume it is the editor's responsibility to "fix" the mistakes of the writer. Why shouldn't the critic fear such blatant forays into illiteracy when the same critic has not yet unraveled the mystery that started it all? From the mass production of Horror in the 70's and 80's to the internet explosion of today, "uncontrolled" volumes of writing do pose curious threats and challenges to the literary critic who is used to a tightly executed editorial process.
While in retrospect we can justify the glut of mediocre works with the appetites and opportunities that some decades afford us, most writers at every level of publication are simply writing to survive. They tend to hope someone in their ranks is writing literature sometime. What new literary critical theories are revealing is: someone is, and very probably was creating real literature. And this time around, Horror is not exempt.
When Horror grows beyond the disgust, the indescribability, the revulsion and shock to expose a failure of self, society, religious or cultural norms, it is speaking to something greater than fangs and drool and the element of surprise. And in doing so, it suggests and invites theoretical analysis.
So whether one wants to shiver in a dark theater or set forth elaborate premises on the origins of Horror in relation to the Enlightenment and postmodernism, or to advance psychoanalytic or feminist theories about the aesthetics of "how it is possible for audiences to derive pleasure from any genre – including not only horror but tragedy as well – whose objects were things that ordinarily cause distress and discomfiture" (Carroll p. 179), the fact remains that the genre as a whole invites speculation and discussion. Horror has transfixed us with fear and loathing and some of us want to know not only how – but why.
Doesn't this confirm that Horror has arrived on the doorstep of literary criticism at last?
Scholars like Carroll, Magistrale & Morrison seem to think so. In fact almost everywhere one looks in quality anthologies of the genre there is active discussion and theorizing in play. Whether one wants to explore the essays of S.T. Joshi, China Mieville, or those of Poe and Lovecraft, writers, fans and critics of Horror have been struggling to define the genre in literary terms from its early history – to explore its interests and effects, its creation and creations.
Therefore, I suggest to those fans of Horror who have long borne the colors onto the field of battle that the walls of the Establishment have been breached. Right now there is a need and function for the new literary critic and his or her ever more fascinating ideas about Horror Theory and how writers do what they do. In fact it makes for some darn interesting reading. Using the very weapons of criticism – theory and conjecture, discussion and analysis – Horror will at last devour the naysayers it cannot transform… because it will outlast them all.

Ted Kennedy's Romantic History
1991 - During Easter vacation in Palm Beach, Florida, Michelle Cassone said Ted walked in on her and his son Patrick while they were hooking up. Allegedly Ted was dressed in nothing but a nightshirt and had a weird look on his face. Just a few months later in June, Ted ran into his colleague's daughter Victoria Anne Reggie at a dinner party. Vicki was more than two decades his junior, but by September that year they were serious and in July 1992 they were married in civil ceremony on the Kennedys' property in McLean, Virginia. Ted told the public before their wedding, "I am painfully aware that the criticism directed at me in recent months involves far more than disagreements with my positions...[It] involves the disappointment of friends and many others...I recognize...the faults in the conduct of my private life...I alone am responsible for them, and I am the one who must confront them." He grew to be a devoted stepdad to Vicki's two adult children.
1994 - Twelve years after the split, Joan Kennedy wanted to renegotiate her 1982 divorce settlement with Ted. His campaign overshadowed their dispute, especially when new wife Vicki helped him beat Mitt Romney in the battle to be Massachusetts senator.
Ted was still in office at the time of his death on August 25, 2009. He is survived by Victoria and his three children, and in a statement, the family thanked "everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice."

Nine songs are complete on the still untitled album.
Big Sean is gearing up for a big second half of 2012 with a new mixtape, the G.O.O.D. Music album and the follow up to his 2011 debut, Finally Famous. While Sean has yet to announce a name for his anticipated sophomore LP, in a new interview he said he already has nine songs in the can.
"I probably got about nine songs for the next album, and we just going hard," he said in a phone call with DJ SWHiT for the Femme Fatale Mixshow. "Of course, I got tons of other material on deck."
The Detroit MC, who has three nominations at the BET Awards 2012, said the record is nearing completion and that fans should expect a new single very soon.
"We almost done with it. I've been working my a-- off, man," he said. "We've got so many songs. We've probably gonna have to drop a single this month. If not, definitely next month. We already got it."
Sean recently appeared on the new Lil Wayne single, "My Homies Still," which is something of a remake of his platinum single "Dance (A$$)." The collaboration surprised audiences due to Wayne's recent beef with Sean's G.O.O.D. Music brother Pusha T, but in the interview, he said he recorded his part of the song several months ago.
"Wayne hit me up about five, six months ago for that song. They sent it over and I just knocked it out," he said.
Despite the tension between the two rappers' camps, Sean said he still admires Weezy and has since he was a kid.
"Wayne was somebody I personally looked up to, riding around high school, listening to his mixtapes and all that," he said. "It was just I thought it was an honor for him to reach out and be like, I want this for the album."

This non-profit, member run organization offers a smorgasbord of opportunities for meeting others, improving communication, and enhancing the lifestyle experience of couples and individuals, alike. Members are treated to a calendar of events which include not just permissive house parties, but, perhaps more importantly, non-permissive events, such as: hikes, concerts and theatre outings, wine tastings, men's and women's only raps, singles' raps, couple's raps, dinner-dances, brunches, game nights, and other social events which allow people to meet and get to know each other (and sometimes, themselves) better, in a warm, supportive, no-pressure atmosphere based on respect. Many of our members are swingers, but we're not a swing club. Many are nudists, but we're not a nudist organization. Some members are polyamorous, but we're not a poly group. Newcomers to the lifestyle have found DVS to be just the environment they were looking for, for taking things at a non-threatening pace. Long-timers have found it to be a core group of their very best friends in life. The fact is, DVS is many different things to many different people, based upon the needs that each person has. That's what makes DVS a great organization. There's something for everyone! Come check us out, and see what we will be to YOU! With warm respect, Kevin DVS Secretary |

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
